QoS Routing Scheme for Wireless Multimedia Networks Based on UWB (2010)

Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) wireless communication is a promising spread-spectrum technology with features of low cost, low power and high time resolution has potentially important applications in wireless ad hoc networks. This paper presents a novel quality of service (QoS) routing scheme for wireless multimedia ad hoc networks. Besides applying neighbor detection method in route discovery procedure, the scheme also considers three parameters of QoS, that's transmission delay, packet transmission rate and packet buffer length. Thus it can not only obtain optimum route for data transmission, but also discover and repair the interrupted routes in time. Simulation results demonstrate that the QoS scheme is effective and adaptive in the wireless multimedia QoS provisioning.

Protein Blotting: Immunoblotting (2010)

Abstract Immunoblotting (also referred to as western blotting) uses antibodies to probe for a specific protein in a sample bound to a membrane. Typically, a protein sample is first size separated via electrophoresis (e.g., SDS PAGE). However, antibodies used for specific protein detection are restricted by the polyacrylamide gel and, to make the separated proteins accessible, the proteins need to be moved out of the gel and bound to a rectangular sheet of PVDF or nitrocellulose membrane. Specialized blotting equipment electrophoretically transfers the negatively charged proteins from the gel onto the membrane. The nitrocellulose or PVDF membrane binds the proteins as they move out of the gel, producing an exact replica, on the membrane surface, of the original protein gel separation. The membrane is then blocked to prevent any nonspecific protein binding and visualized by specific antibodies to detect the presence or absence of a particular protein. Applications of immunoblotting are many, and include antibody characterization, diagnostics, gene expression, and post‐translational modification analysis. Curr. Protoc. Essential Lab.

Degree-days: An aid in crop and pest management (1983)

Questions such as when to plant, whether the crop is developing on time, and when to initiate pest control actions are particularly difficult to answer, because the timing is not always the same each year. Growth and development of insects and plants can vary as much as two to three weeks from the “normal” time, depending on whether temperatures are above or below the average. In this article we compare different techniques for predicting temperature-related insect population and crop development.
Stability of chondrocyte differentiation and contribution of muscle to cartilage during limb regeneration in the axolotl (<i>Siredon mexicanum</i>) (1968)

Abstract In order to determine whether chondrocytes are stable as to type during limb regeneration and whether any cells from limb muscle become chondrocytes in the regenerate, labeled cartilage and muscle were transplanted into limbs which were then allowed to regenerate. Transplanted cells were identified after redifferentiation in the regenerate by three kinds of label: H 3 ‐thymidine detected by radioautography; triploidy as judged by the presence of three nucleoli per nucleus; or a combination of the two. The results of this investigation indicate that limb chondrocytes are intrinsically stable with respect to cell type, for grafts of both triploid and H 3 ‐thymidine labeled chondrocytes gave rise to morphologically dedifferentiated blastema cells which almost exclusively differentiated into chondrocytes. The small percentage of labeled noncartilage cells observed could have been the result of metaplasia, although it is more likely that all or most of them arose as spontaneous polyploids or as contaminants of the original grafts. Isotope dilution in H 3 ‐thymidine labeled chondrocytes indicated that they had usually divided at least five times. Hence, the basis for the intrinsic stability of chondrocytes must be heritable. Chondrocytes from the coracoid, scapula, and visceral arch cartilages also contributed cells to cartilage of limb regenerates, and the available evidence indicates that cells released from these cartilages are similarly stable as to type. These cartilages did not dedifferentiate and participate in limb regeneration to the same extent as did limb cartilage. Results from transplanted limb muscle, labeled by all three methods used in this study, indicate that certain cells of muscle can become chondrocytes during limb regeneration. The exact cellular origin of these chondrocytes, however, is uncertain, for muscle is a mixture of cell types.

Performance directed energy management for main memory and disks (2004)

Much research has been conducted on energy management for memory and disks. Most studies use control algorithms that dynamically transition devices to low power modes after they are idle for a certain threshold period of time. The control algorithms used in the past have two major limitations. First, they require painstaking, application-dependent manual tuning of their thresholds to achieve energy savings without significantly degrading performance. Second, they do not provide performance guarantees. In one case, they slowed down an application by 835.This paper addresses these two limitations for both memory and disks, making memory/disk energy-saving schemes practical enough to use in real systems. Specifically, we make three contributions: (1) We propose a technique that provides a performance guarantee for control algorithms. We show that our method works well for all tested cases, even with previously proposed algorithms that are not performance-aware. (2) We propose a new control algorithm, Performance-directed Dynamic (PD), that dynamically adjusts its thresholds periodically, based on available slack and recent workload characteristics. For memory, PD consumes the least energy, when compared to previous hand-tuned algorithms combined with a performance guarantee. However, for disks, PD is too complex and its self-tuning is unable to beat previous hand-tuned algorithms. (3) To improve on PD, we propose a simple, optimization-based, threshold-free control algorithm, Performance-directed Static (PS). PS periodically assigns a static configuration by solving an optimization problem that incorporates information about the available slack and recent traffic variability to different chips/disks. We find that PS is the best or close to the best across all performanceguaranteed disk algorithms, including hand-tuned versions.
ELECTRONIC COMMUNITIES: A FORUM FOR SUPPORTING WOMEN PROFESSIONALS AND STUDENTS IN TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC FIELDS (2000)

In this article, we report on electronic discussion lists (e-lists) sponsored by MentorNet, the National Electronic Industrial Mentoring Network for Women in Engineering and Science. Using the Internet, the MentorNet program connects students in engineering and science with mentors working in industry. These e-lists are a feature of MentorNet's larger electronic mentoring program and were sponsored to foster the establishment of community among women engineering and science students and men and women professionals in those fields. This research supports the hypothesis that electronic communications can be used to develop community among engineering and science students and professionals and identifies factors influencing the emergence of electronic communities (e-communities). The e-lists that emerged into self-sustaining e-communities were focused on topic-based themes, such as balancing personal and work life, issues pertaining to women in engineering and science, and job searching. These e-communities were perceived to be safe places, embraced a diversity of opinions and experiences, and sanctioned personal and meaningful postings on the part of the participants. The e-communities maintained three to four simultaneous threaded discussions and were sustained by professionals who served as facilitators by seeding the e-lists with discussion topics. The e-lists were sponsored to provide women students participating in MentorNet with access to groups of technical and scientific professionals. In addition to providing benefits to the students, the e-lists also provided the professionals with opportunities to engage in peer mentoring with other, mostly female, technical and scientific professionals. We discuss the implications of our findings for developing e-communities and for serving the needs of women in technical and scientific fields.
A Cyclotron Complex for Accelerating Multicharged Ions up to Relativistic Energies (1979)

The accelerating complex for the production of the multicharged ion beams up to uranium with a final energy of 300 MeV/amu is described. It is supposed to use a Wideroe type accelerator at the first stage of acceleration (up to 0.59 MeV/amu), a conventional isochronous cyclotron at the second stage (up to 10 MeV/amu), and an isochronous cyclotron with superconducting magnet coils at the final stage. Such a structure of the accelerating complex provides high beam intensity at the full energy of 300 MeV/amu (about 1013 particles per second for uranium), and the intermediate energy of 10 MeV/amu (about 1014 particles per second for uranium). Some preliminary parameters of the accelerator are presented.

Software Vulnerability Detection Based on Code Coverage and Test Cost (2015)

In order to solve the problems of traditional Fuzzing technique for software vulnerability detection, a novel method based on code coverage and test cost is proposed. Firstly, static analysis is applied to calculate the code coverage information, including basic block coverage and new block coverage. In addition, test path diversity information is introduced to elevate path coverage, which is achieved based on the sequence alignment algorithm. Secondly, test cost is analyzed respectively from running time and loop structure. The loop structure is simplified using finite expansion manner. Thirdly, the genetic algorithm fitness function is constructed based on the code coverage and test cost to guide the test case generation. Experiments on realistic binary software show that the method could obtain higher vulnerability detection accuracy and efficiency than the traditional Fuzzing technique.
Ex vivo selective isolation of young red blood cells using the IBM-2991 cell washer (1983)

Transfusion-induced hemochromatosis is a major complication in the therapy of severe chronic anemia. Improvement of transfused cell survival with a reduction in transfusion frequency is one possible approach to this problem. Using continuous-flow centrifugation (CFC), young red blood cells (YRBC) with enhanced in vivo survival have been isolated, but the expense and donor time required with this technique prohibit its widespread use for patient support. We studied the use of the IBM 2991 cell washer (CW) to isolate YRBC ex vivo from previously collected donor blood. Age-dependent red cell separation could be achieved using this instrumentation. Autologous mean red cell half-life (RBC-T50) (n = 9) for the younger cell fractions was 43.9 +/- 7.8 days compared to 34.7 +/- 5.8 days for the older cell fractions (n = 6, p less than 0.05). Paired measurement of RBC-T50 for young and old fractions in three donors showed an average survival increase of 41% for the YRBC. Adequate quantities of YRBC with enhanced survival can be obtained with less cost and less donor stress using the CW system compared to CFC. This approach could improve the management of patients with chronic transfusion requirements and merits further examination.
Domain dependant matching of MES knowledge and domain independent mapping of AutomationML models (2012)

Knowledge is one of the most valuable goods within production planning. It can be divided into domain dependant knowledge and domain independent knowledge. An example for domain dependant knowledge is Manufacturing Execution System (MES) specific knowledge. An example for domain independent knowledge is the XML-based data exchange format AutomationML. Both types of knowledge are necessary. This contribution shows the application of ontology mapping and matching methods in the context of domain dependant and domain independent knowledge to support the engineer in working with the data and improve the usage of such information processing.
The Maturity Method: Theory and Application (1984)

Abstract The maturity method may be used to predict the in-place strength of hardening concrete based on its thermal history. A theoretical basis for the maturity method is presented. The general form of the time-temperature function is found to be the time integral of the rate constant. For the case of linear dependence between temperature and the rate constant, the time-temperature function becomes the traditional maturity function. The Arrhenius equation is shown to be an accurate representation of the temperature dependence of the rate constant, and the concept of equivalent age is explained for practical application of the Arrhenius equation. It is explained how the accuracy of strength prediction by the traditional maturity method can be improved by using the proper datum temperature. Results illustrate that the appropriate value of apparent activation energy or datum temperature for concrete may be obtained from strength-gain data of isothermally cured mortar specimens.
Fall Recovery Subactivity Recognition With RGB-D Cameras (2016)

Accidental falls have been identified as a cause of mortality for elders who live alone around the globe. Following a fall, additional injury can be sustained if proper fall recovery techniques are not followed. These secondary complications can be reduced if the person had access to safe recovery procedures or were assisted, either by a person or a robot. We propose a framework for in situ robotic assistance for post fall recovery scenarios. In order to assist autonomously robots need to recognize an individual's posture and subactivities (e.g., falling, rolling, move to hands and knees, crawling, and push up through legs, sitting or standing). Human body skeleton tracking through RGB-D pose estimation methods fail to identify the body parts during key phases of fall recovery due to high occlusion rates in fallen, and recovering, postures. To address this issue, we investigated how low-level image features can be leveraged to recognize an individual's subactivities. Depth cuboid similarity features (DCSFs) approach was improved with M-partitioned histograms of depth cuboid prototypes, integration of activity progression direction, and outlier spatiotemporal interest point removal. Our modified DCSF algorithm was evaluated on a unique RGB-D multiview dataset, achieving 87.43 ± 1.74% accuracy in the extensive 3003 (C15 10) combinations of trainingtest groups of 15 subjects in 10 trials. This result was significantly larger than the nearest competitor, and faster in the training phase. This work could lead to more accurate in situ robotic assistance for fall recovery, saving lives for victims of falls.

Methods to integrate a language model with semantic information for a word prediction component (2008)

Most current word prediction systems make use of n-gram language models (LM) to estimate the probability of the following word in a phrase. In the past years there have been many attempts to enrich such language models with further syntactic or semantic information. We want to explore the predictive powers of Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), a method that has been shown to provide reliable information on long-distance semantic dependencies between words in a context. We present and evaluate here several methods that integrate LSA-based information with a standard language model: a semantic cache, partial reranking, and different forms of interpolation. We found that all methods show significant improvements, compared to the 4-gram baseline, and most of them to a simple cache model as well.
Semi-supervised deep learning for breast anatomy decomposition in ultrasound images (2021)

Breast anatomical structures are distributed layer by layer in breast ultrasound (BUS) images. Breast anatomy decomposition (BRAND) has several clinical potentials in providing localization constraints for breast lesion detection and supporting multimodal registration. To take advantage of convolutional neural network (CNN) and reduce the requirements of manual labels, we propose a semi-supervised deep learning method for BRAND. A CNN is first trained on labeled training data. Pseudo labels for unlabeled training data are generated by smoothing the network's predictions with simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) super-pixel algorithm. The proposed approach achieves Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 89.6 ± 9.3%, 88.2 ± 9.7%, 84.6 ± 17.7% and 89.5 ± 21.6% for subcutaneous fat, mammary gland, muscles and thorax layers, respectively, which outperforms the reported results. The proposed approach is demonstrated to be sufficient for BRAND in BUS images both with and without breast lesions.
Ethische Gesichtspunkte wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen (2008)

Wissenschaftliche Studien in der Physiotherapie haben das Ziel, den Nutzen diagnostischer Verfahren, Erfolge von Behandlungsmaßnahmen und Prophylaxe darzustellen und zu optimieren. Außerdem sollen Entstehungsmechanismen und Heilungsvorgänge von Krankheiten besser verstanden werden. Dazu sind Untersuchungen am Menschen notwendig. Der Weltärztebund verabschiedete 1964 auf seiner 18. Generalversammlung die Deklaration von Helsinki zu ethischen Grundsätzen für die medizinische Forschung (www.bundesaerztekammer.de/downloads/ 92Helsinki.pdf). Seither sollen Studien am Menschen, an identifizierbarem menschlichem Material oder identifizierbaren Daten nach festgelegten ethischen Grundregeln durchgeführt werden. Diese Grundregeln wurden seit dem 1. Beschluss kontinuierlich überarbeitet und ergänzt.
Colloidal Synthesis of Wurtzite Cu<sub>2</sub>ZnSnS<sub>4</sub> Nanorods and Their Perpendicular Assembly (2012)

The quaternary copper chalcogenide Cu(2)ZnSnS(4) is an important emerging material for the development of low-cost and sustainable solar cells. Here we report a facile solution synthesis of stoichiometric Cu(2)ZnSnS(4) in size-controlled nanorod form (11 nm × 35 nm). The monodisperse nanorods have a band gap of 1.43 eV and can be assembled into perpendicularly aligned arrays by controlled evaporation from solution.
Vaginal discharge: an approach to diagnosis and management. (1987)

Vaginal discharge is a frequent presenting complaint in an office practice. The authors of this article review the most common causes of this condition, namely Candidiasis, Trichimoniasis, and Bacterial Vaginosis (Gardnerella), as well as the more serious causes, namely gonorrhea, chlamydia, and Herpes simplex. Symptoms and physical signs are generally insufficient to distinguish specific etiologic agents and, as treatment for each is different, diagnostic examination of smears in the office is critical to the management of these patients. A clinical approach and method of office diagnosis is described.
Role of ultrasound in colorectal diseases (2016)

Ultrasound is an undervalued non-invasive examination in the diagnosis of colonic diseases. It has been replaced by the considerably more expensive magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, despite the fact that, as first examination, it can usefully supplement the diagnostic process. Transabdominal ultrasound can provide quick information about bowel status and help in the choice of adequate further examinations and treatment. Ultrasonography, as a screening imaging modality in asymptomatic patients can identify several colonic diseases such as diverticulosis, inflammatory bowel disease or cancer. In addition, it is widely available, cheap, non-invasive technique without the use of ionizing radiation, therefore it is safe to use in childhood or during pregnancy, and can be repeated at any time. New ultrasound techniques such as elastography, contrast enhanced and Doppler ultrasound, mini-probes rectal and transperineal ultrasonography have broadened the indication. It gives an overview of the methodology of various ultrasound examinations, presents the morphology of normal bowel wall and the typical changes in different colonic diseases. We will pay particular attention to rectal and transperineal ultrasound because of their outstanding significance in the diagnosis of rectal and perineal disorders. This article seeks to overview the diagnostic impact and correct indications of bowel ultrasound.
