Analytical analysis of effect of sampling plan on Cpk (2002)

The use and abuse of process capability indices (PCIs) have become topics of considerable controversy in the last few years. A simulation shows that the difference in Cpk's estimated by three approaches, which are widely used in manufacturing industry, is at least 0.5. In this paper, the authors study analytically the differences in Cpk's calculated by these three different approaches. A few analytical relationships among the Cpk's are derived in this paper and are illustrated with a case study.
NiO nanosheets grown on graphene nanosheets as superior anode materials for Li-ion batteries (2011)

This paper reports a hydrothermal preparation of NiO-graphene sheet-on-sheet and nanoparticle-on-sheet nanostructures. The sheet-on-sheet nanocomposite showed highly reversible large capacities at a common current of 0.1 C and good rate capabilities. A large initial charge capacity of 1056 mAh/g was observed for the sheet-on-sheet composite at 0.1 C, which decreased by only 2.4% to 1031 mAh/g after 40 cycles of discharge and charge. This cycling performance is better than that of NiO nanosheets, graphene nanosheets, NiO-graphene nanoparticle-on-sheet, and previous carbon/carbon nanotube supported NiO composites. It is believed that the mechanical stability and electrical conductivity of NiO nanosheets are increased by graphene nanosheets (GNS), the aggregation or restacking of which to graphite platelets are, on the other hand, effectively prevented by NiO nanosheets.
Acute Cerebellitis: Case Report and Review (1991)

We report a case of acute cerebellitis in a 7-year-old male presenting with headache, vomiting, ataxia and life-threatening hydrocephalus requiring emergent placement of an external ventricular drain. Unlike earlier reported cases which did not provide radiographic correlation of this disease, this report documents changes in the cerebellum with serial magnetic resonance and computer tomography scans. The signs, symptoms and differential diagnosis of this rare, self-limiting condition are briefly discussed.
BLID: A Novel Tumor-Suppressor Gene (2015)

BLID (BH3-like motif containing, cell death inducer), also known as breast cancer cell 2 (BRCC2), was first reported in the human breast cancer cell line in 2004. BLID is a BH3-like motif containing apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family. Recently, the BLID tumor-suppressor roles have been fully established. Several studies have found that BLID is frequently downregulated in many human cancers and the downregulation is often associated with tumor progression. Multivariate analysis indicated that BLID is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival and distant metastasis-free survival. Moreover, BLID can inhibit breast cancer cell growth and metastasis and promote apoptosis. BLID can regulate the expression of various tumor-related genes and proteins, such as AKT and MMP. In this review, we provide an overview of current knowledge concerning the role of BLID in tumor development and progression. To our knowledge, this is the first review about the role of this novel tumor-suppressor gene in tumor development and progression.

Resolution of static clones in dynamic Web pages (2004)

Cloning is extremely likely to occur in Web sites, much more so than in other software. While some clones exist for valid reasons, or are too small to eliminate, cloning percentages of 30% or higher-not uncommon in Web sites-suggest that some improvements can be made. Finding and resolving the clones in Web documents is rather challenging, however: syntax errors and routine use of multiple languages complicate parsing the documents and finding clones, while lack of native code reuse tools forces the analyst to rely on other technologies for resolution. Here we present a way to find clones in Multilanguage Web documents, and resolve them using one of several code reuse techniques that are available in a dynamic Web site. Rather than picking a single resolution technique and relying on it exclusively, we pick it based on the clone in question, to minimize disruption to the structure of original documents.
WearLock: Unlocking Your Phone via Acoustics Using Smartwatch (2017)

Smartphone lock screens are implemented to reduce the risk of data loss or compromise given the fact that increasing amount of person data are accessible on smartphones nowadays. Unfortunately, many smartphone users abandon lock screens due to the inconvenience of unlocking their phones many times a day. With the wide adoption of wearables, token-based approaches have gained popularity in simplifying unlocking and retaining security at the same time. To this end, we propose to take advantage of the smartwatch for easy smartphone unlocking. In this paper, we have designed WearLock, a system that uses acoustic tones as tokens to automate the unlocking securely. We build a sub-channel selection and an adaptive modulation in the acoustic modem to maximize unlocking success rate against ambient noise only when those two devices are nearby. We leverage the motion sensor on the smartwatch to reduce the unlock frequency. We offload smartwatch tasks to the smartphone to speed up computation and save energy. We have implemented the WearLock prototype and conducted extensive evaluations. Results achieved a low average bit error rate (BER) as 8% in various experiments. Compared to traditional manual personal identification numbers (PINs) entry, WearLock achieves at least 18% unlock speedup without any manual effort.
Miniaturized microscope for high throughput screening of tumor spheroids in microfluidic devices (2018)

High-throughput <i>in vitro</i> screening of highly physiological three-dimensional cell cultures (3D-HTS) is rapidly gaining importance in preclinical studies, to study the effect of the microenvironment in tumor development, and to evaluate the efficacy of new anticancer drugs. Furthermore, it could also be envisioned the use of 3D-HTS systems in personalized anti-cancer treatment planning, based on tumor organoids or spheroids grown from tumor biopsies or isolated tumor circulating cells. Most commercial, multi-well plate based 3D-HTS systems are large, expensive, and are based on the use of multi-well plates that hardly provide a physiological environment and require the use of large amounts of biological material and reagents. In this paper we present a novel, miniaturized inverted microscope (hereinafter miniscospe), made up of low-cost, mass producible parts, that can be used to monitor the growth of living tumor cell spheroids within customized three-dimensional microfluidic platforms. Our 3D-HTS miniscope combines phase contrast imaging based on oblique back illumination technique with traditional widefield epi-fluorescence imaging, implemented using miniaturized electro-optical parts and gradient-index refraction lenses. This small (3x6x2cm), lightweight device can effectively image overtime the growth of (>200) tumor spheroids in a controlled and reproducible environment. Our miniscope can be used to acquire time-lapse images of cellular living spheroids over the course of several hours and captures their growth before and after drug treatment, to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug.
Crystal structure and transitions in nascent, lamellar polyoxybenzoate single crystals (1993)

Abstract The crystal-liquid crystal and liquid crystal-liquid crystal transitions (T c-lc and T c-lc) of poly(p-oxybenzoate), nominally at 350° and 430°C, have been followed by electron diffraction (ED) using thin film polymerized single crystals. The ED patterns indicate the transition occurs in both phase I and II individual crystals over a broad temperature range, with high-order hk0 reflections being observable in the ED patterns of some samples. The molecular packing for phase II at room temperature, phase I and II high-temperature forms, and the relationship between the high- and low-temperature forms are proposed. Cooling from above the T c-lc transition temperature results in an apparent memory of the original structure. It is proposed that the high-temperature lattices, between 350° and 430°, should be described as molecular columnar or condis crystals. Above 430°C the hk0 ED patterns are consistent with a nematic-type packing of the molecules.
Alpha rhythms as physiological and abnormal phenomena (1997)

There are three physiological alpha rhythms in mature healthy humans: (a) the classical posterior alpha; (b) the Rolandic mu rhythm and (c) the midtemporal 'third rhythm'. The classical posterior alpha rhythm develops out of a 4/s rhythm appearing at age 4 months and gradually reaches the alpha frequency band around age 3 years. The mature frequency around 10/s is subject to subtle physiological changes and grossly decelerates in the face of pathology. No posterior alpha rhythm may be detectable in a minority of healthy adults with an inherited low voltage fast EEG. One is tempted to speculate that these individuals may have a hidden alpha rhythm in neuronal level and defective mechanisms of synchronization. Alpha blocking with visual stimuli (eye opening) is a classical response; responses to mental stimuli (mental arithmetic) are inconsistent, presumably due to the involvement of higher cognitive functions. The Rolandic my rhythm is found with scalp EEG in a minority of subjects but there is good reason to presume that all healthy adults have this rhythm. A particularly powerful mu rhythm reaches the scalp but this could be also an indicator of a mild CNS dysfunction. There is even a relationship between mu rhythm and the central spike activity in children with benign Rolandic epilepsy. The midtemporal third rhythm is not detectable in the scalp EEG unless there are local bone defects. Its functional significance is debatable; its blocking responses encompass various higher cognitive tasks and are inconsistent; responses to auditory stimuli do occur but appear to be of secondary significance. This rhythm arises from midtemporal structures which by far exceed the borders of the auditory cortex. Abnormal rhythmical alpha activity-above all the alpha coma in life-threatening cerebral anoxia -is discussed in order to deepen our understanding of the physiological alpha rhythms. Severe cortical de-afferentation may give rise to cortical autorhythmicity-either in alpha frequency or in other frequency bands. Physiological alpha rhythms are likely to have closer relationships to 'events' than one might have thought earlier. The demonstration of event-related desynchronization and synchronization (in Pfurtscheller's work) clearly underscores this view.
Stability of dexmedetomidine 4 μg/mL in polypropylene syringes (2012)

The results of a study to determine the long-term (up to 14 days) stability of diluted dexmedetomidine kept in polypropylene syringes under typical pharmacy storage conditions are presented. Four samples of dexmedetomidine injection diluted to 4 μg/mL in 0.9% sodium chloride were prepared and divided into 25-mL portions for storage in syringes at ambient room temperature (20–25 °C) with light exposure or under refrigeration (5 °C) in darkness. At 24 and 48 hours, the percentage of the initial dexmedetomidine concentration remaining in all samples was assessed via high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection; further stability testing of the refrigerated samples was performed on days 7 and 14. At each time point, the test samples were visually inspected for color, clarity, and signs of formation of particulate matter. As determined by chromatographic analyses, the samples of diluted dexmedetomidine stored in syringes at room temperature exhibited a loss of drug concentration of <10% over 48 hours; the refrigerated samples exhibited a loss of drug concentration of <5% over 14 days. All of the syringe-stored samples remained clear and colorless on visual inspection for the duration of the study. Dexmedetomidine diluted to 4 μg/mL in 0.9% sodium chloride injection was stable for at least 48 hours at 20–25 °C and 14 days at 5 °C when stored in polypropylene syringes.
Electrochemical Preparation of Sub-micrometer Sn-Sb Alloy powder in ChCl-EG deep eutectic solvent (2016)

The sub-micrometer Sn-Sb alloy powders were electrochemically prepared on a titanium substrate in choline chloride-ethylene glycol (ChCl-EG, 1:2 molar ratio) deep eutectic solvent containing 0.2 M SbCl 3 and 0.2 M SnCl 2 . The electrochemical behaviors of Sb(III) and Sn(II) were investigated using cyclic voltammetry techniques. It revealed that the reduction of Sb(III) and Sn(II), as well as coreduction of them in ChCl-EG involved the irreversible process controlled by diffusion. The diffusion coefficients of Sb(III) and Sn(II) species were in the range of 10 -7 and 10 -6 cm 2 s -1 , respectively. Potentiostatically deposited Sn-Sb alloys were characterized by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), scanning electron microscopic (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The deposition potential played an important role in controlling the composition, but had little effect on surface morphology. Depending on the deposition potential, sub-micrometer Sn-Sn alloy powders containing about 2.7-67.4 at.% Sn were obtained.

A copay increase can provide substantial savings to a payer without being a major deterrent to overall utilization or resulting in discontinuation of chronic medications.
Measurement of birefringence of biaxially oriented films (1957)

Ultrastructural Evidence for the Viral Etiology of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (1968)

Filtration studies indicate that the causative agent of feline infectious (fibrinous) peritonitis is less than 200 m μ in smallest dimension. Viral particles 94 m μ in diameter, within and budding into the endoplasmic reticulum of the mesothelial cells in areas of inflammation, were found by electron microscopy and may be the etiologic agent. No bacterium or mycoplasma was cultured from peritoneal exudate, nor identified in affected tissues.
End Constraint and Alignment Effects in Three- and Four-Point Reverse Bending Tests (1989)

A specimen loaded in bending when rigidly clamped on the ends by specimen grips will undergo an axial force due to the conflict between the grips' resistance to move and the specimen ends' intention to move inwards. By mounting the grips on flexures and allowing them to move with the specimen ends while still applying a bending moment, pure bending on the specimen will result. A constant moment along the length of the specimen can be obtained by applying equal and opposite force couples to the ends of the specimen via the grips. This paper examines the effects of specimen end conditions and alignment on test results obtained from three- and four-point reversing bend tests. Various end conditions can exist, such as fixed-fixed, fixed-free, free-free, and a special case in which the end condition is a combination of fixed and free. Each of these end conditions imposed on a specimen in bending is evaluated as to its contribution to axial forces and its ability to provide a true bending moment on the specimen. The effects of bending out of plane with respect to the specimen axis are also discussed. This paper also describes an apparatus for testing specimens in three- and four-point reverse bending in which the axial force in the specimen is reduced.
Accelerated parallelizable neural network learning algorithm for speech recognition (2011)

We describe a set of novel, batch-mode algorithms we developed recently as one key component in scalable, deep neural network based speech recognition. The essence of these algorithms is to structure the singlehidden-layer neural network so that the upper-layer’s weights can be written as a deterministic function of the lower-layer’s weights. This structure is effectively exploited during training by plugging in the deterministic function to the least square error objective function while calculating the gradients. Accelerating techniques are further exploited to make the weight updates move along the most promising directions. The experiments on TIMIT frame-level phone and phonestate classification show strong results. In particular, the error rate is strictly monotonically dropping as the minibatch size increases. This demonstrates the potential for the proposed batch-mode algorithms in large scale speech recognition since they are easily parallelizable across computers.
LOGICAL DESIGN OF CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR SEQUENTIAL MECHANISMS (1967)

SUMMARY There is evidence to support the view that little analysis is used in the design of control systems for sequential machines. This paper outlines a design technique for such machines, taking a specific sequence as an illustration. The techniques used for the simplification of Boolean functions are included in an abbreviated form.

Aldolase (1969)

Abstract The Sigma and Boehringer reagent kits for measuring aldolase activity by a colorimetric method were examined critically. The original Sibley and Lehninger (1) procedure was more satisfactory than the modifications made by the kit manufacturers. Serum aldolase activity measured by the Sigma procedure and our modification of the Sibley-Lehninger method agreed within a standard deviation of ± 2 IU; values obtained with the Boehringer kit were about 50% low.

Cough Headache due to Craniospinal Pressure Dissociation (1980)

Two women had severe headache that would come on a few seconds after straining or coughing and would last for about a minute. Results of pressure studies showed that a difference in pressure between the ventricles and the lumbar subarachnoid space developed after coughing or straining. Decompression of the cerebellar tonsils relieved the symptoms and eliminated the craniospinal pressure dissociation in both cases.
A seed chalcid (Eurytoma squamosa Bugbee) parasitizes buckbrush (Ceanothus fendleri Gray) seeds in a ponderosa pine forest of Arizona (2002)

Predispersal seed parasitism rates were quantified for buckbrush (Ceanothus fendleri Gray) in 3 Arizona ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) forest units that had been thinned for ecological restoration objectives. The chalcidoid wasp Eurytoma squamosa Bugbee (Eurytomidae) was responsible for 35(percent) of total seed loss in a single year. These findings represent an expansion of the known range and host list for E. squamosa and increase our understanding of factors that may constrain regeneration of C. fendleri in Southwest ponderosa pine forests.
Iterative Modulo Scheduling (1995)

Modulo scheduling is a framework within which algorithms for the software pipelining of innermost loops may be defined. The framework specifies a set of constraints that must be met in order to achieve a legal modulo schedule. A wide variety of algorithms and heuristics can be defined within this framework. Little work has been done to evaluate and compare alternative algorithms and heuristics for modulo scheduling from the viewpoints of schedule quality as well as computational complexity. This, along with a vague and unfounded perception that modulo scheduling is computationally expensive as well as difficult to implement, have inhibited its incorporation into product compilers. This report presents iterative modulo scheduling, a practical algorithm that is capable of dealing with realistic machine models. The report also characterizes the algorithm in terms of the quality of the generated schedules as well the computational expense incurred.
Optimal number and placements of piezoelectric patch actuators in structural active vibration control (2004)

This paper presents an optimal design method of number and placements of piezoelectric patch actuators in active vibration control of a plate. Eigenvalue distribution of energy correlative matrix of control input force is applied to determine optimal number of the required actuators. Genetic algorithms (GAs) using active vibration control effects, which are taken as the objective function, are adopted to search optimal placements of actuators. The results show that disturbance exerted on a plate is a key factor of determining optimal number and placements of actuators in active structural vibration control, and a global and efficient optimization solution of multiple actuator placements can be obtained using GAs.
