The project management of the profit contribution from the customers of mobile virtual private network services (2010)

This paper aims to probe into the mobile virtual private network (MVPN) and analyzes the impact of project management on the profit contribution of a case mobile company. An empirical model is constructed based on multiple regressions. The dependent variable is the profit contribution from each of six major corporate customers of MVPN services of the case mobile company; independent variables include the service benefits of MVPN services, whether the preferential price of mobile phone is offered by the case mobile company, the monthly mobile bill discount provided by the case mobile company, and the monthly mobile bill subsidy amount offered by corporations to their employees. The empirical results can establish a core business strategy on customer value proposition and identify the best market segment to enhance the profitability and sustainable growth in order to increase the case mobile company's market competitiveness and business performance.
Animal and Human Tolerance of High-Dose Intramuscular Therapy with Spectinomycin (1974)

Spectinomycin produced no evidence of ototoxicity or serious side effects when given im to 15 men at a dosage of 8 g per day for 21 days in a double-blind comparative study. Repeated evaluations of local tolerance showed that the antibiotic caused more pain and induration than im placebo injections of saline. Less discomfort was encountered during the first week of therapy, but most subjects were able to finish the course of treatment without severe discomfort.
Wigner representation and geometric transformations of optical orbital angular momentum spatial modes (2005)

An exact Wigner representation of optical spatial modes carrying orbital angular momentum is found in closed form by exploiting the underlying SU(2) Lie-group algebra of their associated Poincaré sphere. Orthogonality relations and observables of these states are obtained within the phase space picture. Development of geometric phases on mode transformations is also elucidated.
Optimal and robust design of unstable valve (2004)

Our research is concerned with the design of a cost effective single stage direct acting electrohydraulic valves for high flow rate and high bandwidth applications by utilizing the instability caused by flow induced forces. In our past research, we have demonstrated simple change in valve geometry can be used to manipulate both transient flow force as well as steady flow force for this purpose. In this paper, with the goal of minimizing the steady flow forces range, we present two optimal design methods over the space of these design parameters: (1) the nominal optimal design method, in which no uncertainty is taken into account; (2) the robust optimal design method, in which the design must be robust enough to model uncertainty and perturbations. By representing the original problem as a LFT interconnection, the robust design problem can be formulated into synthesizing an optimal controller for an appropriate static plant with a structured uncertainty. An algorithm is then presented to transform the LFT into an appropriate robust control problem and synthesize the controller. The case study shows that unlike the nominal optimal solutions where viscosity effect is exclusively utilized, the robust optimal solutions tend to take advantage of both viscosity effect and non-orifice flux effect, and in return provide the better performance over nominal optimal solutions.
Effects of systemic acidification of mice with Sarcoma 180. (1979)

The effects of dietary-induced acidosis on the growth and rates of complete regression of Sarcoma 180 in mice have been studied. The experiments here reported have demonstrated that mineral acidification of laboratory food produces a late decrease in tumor growth and significantly increases the rates of complete tumor regression. Blood acid-base studies also demonstrate the effects of these diets in altering the acid-base balance, and seemingly, this is independent of starvation and/or ketosis. The relationships of such in vivo acid-base metabolic changes to the control of tumor metabolism are briefly discussed. A therapeutic potential for this preliminary approach is considered.
Optimizing Charge-Coupled-Device Detector Operation For Optical Astronomy (1987)

We have operated two types of CCD detectors over the past several years: the three-phase thinned Texas Instruments 800 x 800 and the thinned RCA 320 x 512. Both detectors are operated in a slow-scan, cooled camera behind a variety of optical instruments at ground-based observatories, often involving low light levels. Emphasis is placed on optimizing the camera's operation with respect to quantum efficiency, readout noise, charge-transfer efficiency, dark current, full-well satura-tion, bias image flatness, residual image, and on-chip binning. Techniques for optimizing these properties are discussed. Our camera system is described, and information about the performance of our five operational CCDs is given.

Improving Children’s Competence as Decision Makers (2015)

This research examined the influence of contrasting instructional approaches on children’s decision-making competence. A total of 764 fifth graders, mostly African Americans and Hispanic Americans, from 36 classrooms in eight public schools serving children from low-income families completed a six-week unit on wolf management, using either direct instruction or collaborative groups, or were waited-listed controls. Analysis of children’s essays on a topic unrelated to wolves revealed that students who participated in collaborative groups but not students who received direct instruction acquired decision-making strategies and transferred them to the novel task. Students in collaborative group work classrooms wrote essays that were significantly better than essays of students from direct instruction classrooms in each of the three aspects of decision making that were evaluated—considering more than one side of a dilemma, comprehensiveness of reasons, and weighing the importance of reasons. In contrast, direct instruction students performed no better than uninstructed control students.
Reduction of Haloacetic Acids by Fe<sup>0</sup>:  Implications for Treatment and Fate (2001)

To predict the fate of haloacetic acids (HAAs) in natural or engineered systems, information is needed concerning the types of reactions that these compounds undergo, the rates of those reactions, and the products that are formed. Given that many drinking water distribution systems consist of unlined cast iron pipe, reactions of HAAs with elemental iron (Fe0) may play a role in determining the fate of HAAs in these systems. In addition, zerovalent iron may prove to be an effective treatment technology for the removal of HAAs from chlorinated drinking water and wastewater. Thus, batch experiments were used to investigate reactions of four trihaloacetic acids, trichloroacetic acid (TCAA), tribromoacetic acid (TBAA), chlorodibromoacetic acid (CDBAA), and bromodichloroacetic acid (BDCAA), with Fe0. All compounds readily reacted with Fe0, and investigation of product formation and subsequent disappearance revealed that the reactions proceeded via sequential hydrogenolysis. Bromine was preferentially removed over chlorine, and TBAA was the only compound completely dehalogenated to acetic acid. In compounds containing chlorine, the final product of reactions with Fe0 was monochloroacetic acid. Halogen mass balances were 95-112%, and carbon mass balances were 62.6-112%. The pseudo-first-order rate constants for trihaloacetic acid degradation were as follows: BDCAA (10.6 +/- 3.1 h-1) > CDBAA (1.43 +/- 0.32 h-1) approximately TBAA (1.41 +/- 0.28 h-1) >> TCAA (0.08 +/- 0.02 h-1).
Thiocyanate Secretion in Sweat in Cystic Fibrosis. (1961)

The mean sweat/serum ratio of thiocyanate in cystic fibrosis was 3.4 times the ratio in controls. This indicates that like sodium chloride and iodide, thiocyanate is involved in the defect of sweat electrolyte secretion in cystic fibrosis.
INTERNETBANKINGS QUALITY ACCORDING USERS CHARACTERISTICS (2008)

The banks had become the greatest investors in information
					technology to supporting its business processes and improvement of
					the quality of its services. This research was carried out in order
					to identify the attitude of Internetbanking clients in relation to
					the quality of this service. The study consisted of a perception
					survey of 150 inhabitants in the city of Sao Paulo and users of the
					Internetbanking of Abn Amro Real, Banco do Brasil, Bradesco, Itau,
					ou Unibanco. An adaptation of SERVQUAL model, what was called
					E-BANKING, was made and it was verified the reliability and
					validity of this new model through the statistical analyses.
					Moreover, the correspondence analysis was applied to get factors
					that can have influence in the Internetbanking users opinion about
					this service quality. The results of this study showed that the
					model developed fits for Internetbanking evaluation and that some
					personal characteristics can have influence in the quality
					perception of this service.
Human papillomavirus-associated carcinomas in Hawaii and the mainland U.S. (2000)

Asian/Pacific Islanders in Hawaii generally have lower incidence rates of HPV-associated SCCs than whites. However, low ratios of in situ to invasive cervical SCCs suggest that many Hawaii women, notably Asian/Pacific Islanders, are not diagnosed and treated for cervical neoplasias at a preinvasive stage. The high rate of incidence of anal SCC in male Hawaiian whites and the high proportions of unmarried men among patients with this disease suggest the transmission of HPV through homosexual contact. These men may be targeted in future screening programs for anal carcinoma.
Liquid Dynamics and Time-Dependent Correlation Functions (1976)

We shall introduce the van Hove correlation function in an intuitive way, and will later point out its intimate connection with neutron scattering (van Hove 1954a). We argue purely classically at first. Suppose that we define G(r, t) as the average density of atoms at the point r at time t, if an atom was at the origin r = 0 at time t = O. Thus, G(r, t) gives us the correlation in the positions of two atoms, which may or may not be different, at different times. This function can be expressed in the form (3.1) The average of the δ function involved in eqn (3.1) is obviously the probability that at time t the jth atom will be at r with respect to the position of the ith atom at time t = 0. We then sum this probability over j and average over i. G(r, t) is the space-time pair correlation function.
The Divergence of Species-Specific Abalone Sperm Lysins is Promoted by Positive Darwinian Selection (1992)

Recognition by sperm lysin of the egg vitelline envelope may be one component in determining the species-specificity of fertilization in abalones. The amino acid sequences of lysin proteins of seven California abalone species were deduced from the cDNA sequences. This is the first extensive comparison of a gamete recognition protein from congeneric species. Each prelysin has a highly conserved signal peptide of 18 amino acids, followed by a mature sequence of 136-138 residues. Of 136 aligned positions, 68 have the same amino acid in all seven sequences. The % identity relative to the red abalone lysin sequence is: white 90%, flat 83%, pinto 82%, pink 78%, black 71%, and green 65%. Hydropathy plots and a distance tree of the seven lysins show that red, white, and flat lysins are more closely related to each other than to the lysins of the other four species. A hypervariable, species-specific, domain exists in all sequences between positions 2-12. Amino acid replacements between any two lysins are mostly nonconservative. Analysis of the cDNA sequences shows the number of nonsynonymous substitutions (amino acid altering) exceeds the number of synonymous substitutions (silent) in 20 of the 21 pairwise comparisons of the seven sequences, indicating that positive Darwinian selection must promote the divergence of lysin sequences.

Antibiotic Sensitivity Profiles Determined with an <i>Escherichia coli</i> Gene Knockout Collection: Generating an Antibiotic Bar Code (2010)

We have defined a sensitivity profile for 22 antibiotics by extending previous work testing the entire KEIO collection of close to 4,000 single-gene knockouts in Escherichia coli for increased susceptibility to 1 of 14 different antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, rifampin [rifampicin], vancomycin, ampicillin, sulfamethoxazole, gentamicin, metronidazole, streptomycin, fusidic acid, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, nitrofurantoin, erythromycin, and triclosan). We screened one or more subinhibitory concentrations of each antibiotic, generating more than 80,000 data points and allowing a reduction of the entire collection to a set of 283 strains that display significantly increased sensitivity to at least one of the antibiotics. We used this reduced set of strains to determine a profile for eight additional antibiotics (spectinomycin, cephradine, aztreonem, colistin, neomycin, enoxacin, tobramycin, and cefoxitin). The profiles for the 22 antibiotics represent a growing catalog of sensitivity fingerprints that can be separated into two components, multidrug-resistant mutants and those mutants that confer relatively specific sensitivity to the antibiotic or type of antibiotic tested. The latter group can be represented by a set of 20 to 60 strains that can be used for the rapid typing of antibiotics by generating a virtual bar code readout of the specific sensitivities. Taken together, these data reveal the complexity of intrinsic resistance and provide additional targets for the design of codrugs (or combinations of drugs) that potentiate existing antibiotics.
Quasi‐autistic Patterns Following Severe Early Global Privation (1999)

Six per cent of child in a sample of 111 children who were adopted into U.K. families from Romania, and who were systematically assessed at the ages of 4 and 6 years, showed autistic-like patterns of behaviour. A further 6% showed milder (usually isolated) autistic features. Such autistic characteristics were not found in a similarly studied sample of 52 children adopted in the first 6 months of life within the U.K. The children from Romania with autistic patterns showed clinical features closely similar to "ordinary" autism at 4 years but they differed with respect to the improvement seen by age 6 years, to an equal sex ratio, and to a normal head circumference. The children from Romania with autistic features tended to differ from the other Romanian adoptees with respect to a greater degree of cognitive impairment and a longer duration of severe psychological privation.

The interference wiretap channel with an arbitrarily varying eavesdropper: Aligning interference with artificial noise (2012)

In this work, a Gaussian two-user MIMO interference channel is considered in the presence of an external eavesdropper whose channel is completely unknown to the legitimate communication parties and can be varying in an arbitrary fashion from one channel use to the next. We improve our recent result by deriving a larger achievable secrecy degrees of freedom region. In the achievable scheme, the transmitter injects artificial noise to confuse the eavesdropper, and at the same time aligns the injected noise with the interference from the other user at the intended receiver. The achieved secure degrees of freedom are shown to be closely connected to the rank of the effective channel matrix through which the eavesdropper observes the artificial noise. The precoding matrix is then designed to ensure that this rank cannot be reduced under any possible Eve's channel state.
Purification and characterization of neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum type C 6813 (1985)

The toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum type C 6813 (C-6813) was purified 1,009-fold from the culture supernatant in an overall yield of 30%. The specific toxicity was 1.1 X 10(7) mouse minimum lethal doses per mg of protein. The toxin had a molecular weight of 144,000, composed of the light and heavy chains with molecular weights of 52,000 and 92,000, respectively, linked by one or two disulfide bond(s). The purified C-6813 toxin heavy and light chains reacted strongly with anti-type D heavy chain immunoglobulin G and anti-type C1 light chain immunoglobulin G, respectively. The amino acid compositions of C-6813 toxin heavy and light chains were more similar to those of type D heavy chain and type C1 light chain than to those of type C1 heavy chain and type D light chain, respectively. These results suggest that in the toxin produced by the type C strain at least two subtypes exist.
A Distributed, Agent-Based Architecture for the Acquisition, Management, Archiving and Display of Real-Time Monitor- ing Data in the Intensive Care Unit *1 (1999)

The intensive care is a unit of vital importance within a hospital, where although a small number of patients are being treated, a great number of their vital functions have to be monitored very carefully. Monitoring within an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is usually based on heterogeneous, dedicated hardware and software devices that embody their own time metrics for the collection of vital sign measurements provided at regular time intervals. This paper presents a distributed, agent-based architecture for the acquisition, management, archiving and display of real-time monitoring data in the ICU that makes efficient use of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). A prototype implementation is presented for the acquisition and communication of the continuously fed, vital sign information from the appropriate and distributed, real-time monitoring devices to single graphical user interfaces at the corresponding ICU monitoring workstations. Focus is paid on the design and development of individual, collaborating software agents to be used for data acquisition and monitoring, and on their communication through stable interfaces of the middleware infrastructure. Additional issues examined include the use of efficient mechanisms for handling sudden increase in workload, environment changes and monitoring device malfunctions.

Interleave‐division multiple access (IDMA) using low‐rate layered LDGM codes (2010)

ABSTRACT We propose the use of low‐rate layered serially concatenated low‐density generator matrix (SCLDGM) codes in interleave‐division multiple access (IDMA) systems to approach the multiuser capacity. We study the behavior of the soft interference cancellation (SIC) detector employed in IDMA systems and design the channel codes using EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) evolution, aiming at optimizing the system performance. Simulation results show that the designed codes approach the theoretical limits and outperform previous IDMA schemes based on Turbo‐Hadamard codes. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Design and Implementation of Server Management System Based on Docker (2019)

Nowadays, almost all applications store data on servers, and servers provide a wide variety of services. Due to differences in the development environment during development, testing, and production, traditionally building services directly on the server may lead to application deployment failures. In such cases, it is particularly important for the server to have a private service management system. Aiming at a series of problems in current environment construction including server deployment, this paper proposes a method of using Docker to manage the server, and designs and implements a Docker-based server management system. The implementation tests show that this system can provide efficient services as its design.
The effects of clomiphene citrate upon ovulation and endocrinology when administered to patients with unexplained infertility (1991)

Twenty-four couples with unexplained infertility were studied in a spontaneous cycle followed by a clomiphene citrate (CC) cycle (150 mg, days 5-9). All spontaneous cycles were ovulatory, as defined by follicular collapse determined by transvaginal sonography. In CC cycles, 6/24 (25%) cycles demonstrated luteinized unruptured follicles (LUF). In 2/6 LUF cycles there was no apparent luteinizing hormone (LH) surge. LUF cycles had significantly elevated LH levels in the follicular phase compared to ovulatory CC cycles. There was no apparent difference in serum oestradiol. In CC cycles multifollicular development occurred in 87.5% of cycles, with significantly elevated serum oestradiol. Luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone were elevated in the follicular phase compared to spontaneous cycles. This study suggests a high incidence of LUF when CC is administered to ovulatory patients, and its use in patients with ovulatory infertility is questioned.
