POWER PLANT DIAGNOSTICS GO ON-LINE (1989)

The current standard approaches to power plant maintenance are: (1) corrective maintenance, which involves fixing something when it breaks and (2) preventive maintenance, which is scheduled periodically based on the recommendations of manufacturers and the experience of the plant operator. Predictive maintenance, which this article explains, is a relatively new concept. It makes early fault detection possible by monitoring machine parameters and process variables and by comparing these measurements with normal baseline readings. A study cited indicated that the annual power plant maintenance cost per horsepower for the corrective approach was $17-$18; for the preventive approach, $11-$13; and for the predictive approach, $7-$9. A test program of the Philadelphia Electric Company and the Electric Power Research Institute to more thoroughly explore the value of online predictive maintenance and evaluate future diagnostic monitoring needs is discussed.
Pseudo-Labels for Supervised Learning on Dynamic Vision Sensor Data, Applied to Object Detection Under Ego-Motion (2018)

In recent years, dynamic vision sensors (DVS), also known as event-based cameras or neuromorphic sensors, have seen increased use due to various advantages over conventional frame-based cameras. Using principles inspired by the retina, its high temporal resolution overcomes motion blurring, its high dynamic range overcomes extreme illumination conditions and its low power consumption makes it ideal for embedded systems on platforms such as drones and self-driving cars. However, event-based data sets are scarce and labels are even rarer for tasks such as object detection. We transferred discriminative knowledge from a state-of-the-art frame-based convolutional neural network (CNN) to the event-based modality via intermediate pseudo-labels, which are used as targets for supervised learning. We show, for the first time, event-based car detection under ego-motion in a real environment at 100 frames per second with a test average precision of 40.3% relative to our annotated ground truth. The event-based car detector handles motion blur and poor illumination conditions despite not explicitly trained to do so, and even complements frame-based CNN detectors, suggesting that it has learnt generalized visual representations.
The International Judge in an Age of Multiple International Courts and Tribunals (2009)

This Article focuses on two phenomena that have emerged, and are likely to continue to emerge, from the growth of international courts and tribunals. These phenomena are the engagement of multiple institutions in resolving a particular dispute, and the risk of inconsistency, even conflict, in the jurisprudence of such institutions. We concentrate on several examples, but do not pretend that these are the only examples that international practice can furnish. Nevertheless, they are particularly useful for helping us chart a way forward. To be acceptable and workable, any such exercise must be grounded in the reality of the international legal order and consistent with the fundamental principles and doctrines of international law. Section II presents a conceptual examination of the situation and studies the implications of the expanding world of international courts and tribunals. Section III deals with multiple institution engagement and competing jurisdictions, while Section IV deals with conflicting jurisprudence. Both Sections III and IV are rooted in case studies. Section V concludes the discussion, with Section VI synthesizing the earlier analysis and drawing from relevant practices in both international and domestic systems to develop guidelines to assist the international judge.
Opening up the gate control theory (1993)

Despite the frequency with which nurses encounter patients with pain, there is evidence that they still fail to understand some of the theories and mechanisms governing pain production and control. This article offers an update on one such theory, the gate control theory, widely considered to be one of the most influential to practitioners.
RPC-based Coherence Protocols for Distributed Shared Memory (1997)

: This paper intends to present a general concept of coherence protocols for a Distributed Shared Memory system to be based on Remote Procedure Call or Remote Method Call communication facilities. The RPC is well suited for implementation of a such system because it is one of the best known and most popular programming paradigms. It is commonly accepted and offered by majority of today&apos;s distributed computing systems including OSF/DCE and CORBA-compliant platform, among others. The use of RPC seems to be very natural to a programmer, that is certainly advantageous. Keywords: distributed shared memory, consistency models, coherence protocols, middleware platforms, remote procedure/method call. 1. INTRODUCTION Distributed systems due to their scalability, computational effectiveness, reliability, inherent communication facilities, flexibility and efficiency in resource utilization --- are one of the most important and promising trends in computer systems development. However, due to a...
Gemcitabine in combination with cisplatin (GP) versus gemcitabine (G) alone in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer: Final results of a multicenter randomized phase II study (2004)

4118 Background: The survival of patients (pts) with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer could be improved by the addition of P to standard chemotherapy with G. Methods: The primary objective was to compare time to treatment failure (TTF) of pts treated with GP versus G. Secondary objectives were to compare toxicity, overall survival time (OST), quality-adjusted time without symptoms or toxicity (Q-TWiST analysis), and quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire) between arms and to assess objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response in the two arms. Chemonaive pts age 18–75 yrs with histologically proven stage III or IV pancreatic cancer were randomized to receive G 1000 mg/m2/wk × 3 plus P 75 mg/m2 on day 15 every 4 wks (GP arm) or G 1000 mg/m2/wk × 7 followed by 1 week of rest for cycle 1, and then G at the same dose × 3 every 4 wks (G arm). Results: From July 2000 to August 2002, 83 pts (42 GP, 41 G) received a median of 4 and 3 cycles for GP and G, respectively. Baseline characteristics (GP/G) were stage III disease in 8/9 and stage IV in 34/32 pts; median age of 61.5 yrs/63 yrs; and WHO PS 0–1 in 32/34 and PS 2 in 10/7 pts. The median TTF was 65 days (95% CI, 52–145) for GP and 76 days (95% CI, 52–111) for G (p=.67). Respective median OST was 241 days (95% CI, 130–295) and 201 days (95% CI, 133–326) (p=.73). Additionally, 7% of GP pts had PR and 48% had SD, while 5% of G pts had PR and 46% had SD. Q-TWiST results did not differ significantly between the two arms. Median dose intensities were 92% G and 69% P (GP) and 94% (G). The main CTC grade 3/4 toxicities (% pts) for GP/G included neutropenia (56/40), anemia (37/28), nausea (15/5), vomiting (7/3), anorexia (2/0); in particular, the incidence of grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia (34/13; p=.03) and asthenia (5/10; p=.04) differed significantly between arms. Conclusions: The addition of P to G does not appear to improve the prognosis of pts with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Other gemcitabine-based combinations should be evaluated. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
Enterprise Portal for Internet Business (2000)

The emerging Internet technology has brought about a new business situation in which there are various services and contents distributed inside and outside the company environment. Because of this distribution, companies have difficulty finding target information and using these services. Therefore, many companies need an enterprise portal system that provides them with a better work environment. This paper describes the features of INTERSTAGE Portal Server, which is an enterprise portal system provided by Fujitsu. INTERSTAGE Portal Server realizes our goals for portal server construction and administration. These goals are to make good use of existing systems and to enable the user to construct a portal server smoothly without the need to develop new applications.

Synthesis of 2,5-Disubstituted 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles and Their Precursors (1994)

The characteristic feature of many commercial agrochemicals and drugs is the 5-nitro-2-furyl or 2,5-dimethyl-3-furyl building block. Within the scope of our research aimed at utilization of dipolar cycloaddition reactions to prepare new compounds with potential biological and phytoeffectorial activity, we report on the synthesis of some substituted hydrazones I and their intramolecular cycloaddition to 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles II . The basic IR, 1 H NMR as well as mass spectral data of final products are presented.
Microwave phase-locked loop circuit development and efficiency improvement (2004)

A sampling phase detector (SPD) circuit for locking a microwave VCO, at 19.6 GHz, is proposed. Based on the step recovery diode as the locking source and the Schottky diode mixer, the SPD is implemented into the phase-locked loop (PLL) concept. Harmonic balance simulation is used to determine the output power level. Different drive levels are examined within the PLL circuit to achieve the lowest power level for a reliable lock and hence the optimum input/output match is determined for best efficiency.

Fatal cardiac tamponade. Occurrence with other complications after left internal jugular vein catheterization (1982)

A case of fatal cardiac tamponade caused by superior vena cava perforation complicating left internal jugular vein catheterization and infusion is reported. Two cases of nonfatal combined hydromediastinum and hydrothorax as a result of the left-sided approach are discussed. Unexplained hypotension with venous distention in a patient with a central venous catheter should immediately raise the possibility of cardiac tamponade. Avoidance of the left internal jugular vein approach, the use of flexible catheter materials, and localization of the catheter tip above the pericardial reflection will lessen the complications caused by placement of central venous lines.
Chemical and Physical Analysis of a Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contamination on a Soil Sample to Determine Its Natural Degradation Feasibility (2020)

Crude oil is the world’s leading fuel source and is the lifeblood of the industrialized nations as it is vital to produce many everyday essentials. This dependency on fossil fuels has resulted in serious environmental issues in recent times. Petroleum contaminated soils must be treated to ensure that human health and the environment remain protected. The restoration of petroleum-polluted soil is a complex project because once petroleum hydrocarbon enters the environment, the individual constituents will partition to various environmental compartments in accordance with their own physical–chemical properties; therefore, the composition and inherent biodegradability of the petroleum hydrocarbon pollutant determines the suitability of a remediation approach. The objective of this study was to assess the prospective of bioremediation as a feasible technique for practical application to the treatment of petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soils, by trending the changes in the properties of the petroleum due to biodegradation. Each polluted soil has particularities, thus, the bioremediation approach for each contaminated site is unique. Therefore, hydrocarbon-contaminated sites that have remained polluted for decades due to lack of proper decontamination treatments present in this part of the world would benefit from cost effective treatments. Most bioremediation case studies are usually based on hypothetical assumptions rather than technical or experimental data; providing data that show the capabilities of biodegradation of indigenous microbes on specific oil composition can lead to the creation of strategies to accelerate the biological breakdown of hydrocarbons in soil.

[Role of maternal and fetal plasma proteins in transplacental transport of drugs]. (1989)

One of the factors influencing the rate of drug transport through the placenta is their binding by maternal and fetal plasma proteins. Concentrations of the components binding the drug on both sides of the placenta influence significantly its distribution in the fetomaternal pair. It is emphasized that in plasma of a fetus or newborn there is observed the free fraction increase for most drugs--beta-adrenoblockers, local anesthetics, narcotic analgesics, antiarrthythmic and antiepileptic agents. As for salicylates, diazepam and valproic acid, one can note their accumulation in the fetal blood during labour to which side effects often observed in newborns after treatment with these drugs may be related. Free fatty acids of plasma influence the binding of drugs by maternal and fetal plasma proteins. In the published clinical papers on the drug binding by proteins of plasma of the fetomaternal pairs the transport role, in addition to serum albumin and acid alpha 1-glycoproteid, of alpha 1-fetoprotein as well is not taken into consideration. The drug transport by this protein can account for the contradiction of views on the role of maternal and fetal plasma proteins in the transplacental transport of drugs.
Commission 8. (Meridian Astronomy.) (1936)

Dr Boss stated that he hoped to publish the first two volumes of the General Catalogue by the middle of the next year and the complete catalogue of four volumes by the end of 1936. A 5th volume containing the introduction will be published later. Dr Jackson reported that Prof. Kopff would postpone the choice of the 3000 fundamental stars for photography till after the publication of Boss’s G.C. Dr Gerasimoviç reported that the fundamental stars of magnitudes 7 m. 5—8 m. 5 which have been selected by Dneprovski for observation at Pulkovo and Nikolayev were stars of the M giant type.
Optical Datalinks (1992)

This paper discusses optical datalinks, the electro-optic devices that are the interfaces between electrical circuits and fiber optic cables. To meet the market-driven requirements of cost, performance, and early availability, datalinks must be designed and manufactured using Design for X (DFX) techniques, and well-controlled processes and easily incorporated improvements from research. These datalinks are used in both multimode and single mode systems, depending on the demands of physical distance and desired data rates. This paper will present an overview of the currently available products and technologies, including optical switches that can be used in local area networks.
Social vs. Natural Science? (2001)

I largely agree with Clifford Geertz ( Science 's Compass, Books et al. , 6 Jul., p. 53) and the main point of the work he discusses, Making Social Science Matter ([1][1])—that social research can make good use of a “phronetic” approach, that is, qualitative and judgmental, as distinct from mere imitation of the “hard” sciences. This argument has been a major theme of European philosophy for the better part of the last century, its most powerful modern exponent being H. G. Gadamer ([2][2]). I have, however, one objection: the pervasive use of the phrase “view from nowhere” in characterizing natural science. To advance or correct the social sciences, we need not diminish or distort, even subtly, the approach of the natural sciences, and that is what this catchy phrase often does. But when Thomas Nagel introduced it in his thoughtful book of that title, he was speaking mainly about objectivity and subjectivity in philosophy, and the phrase was intended as purely descriptive ([3][3]).

Yet it seems to me that, in science, even as description the phrase is surely misleading. If catchy phrases we must have, then I suggest an alternative: let it be the “view from everywhere,” reflecting more nearly what the natural sciences do. There is a big difference between “no reference frame” and “invariance” under specified transformations of reference frames or standpoints. I am pointing here not only to the well-known invariances of physics under coordinate transformations but, far more generally, to “transformations” or interchanges of investigators, cultures, and experimental equipment, and to the practice of acquiring many “profiles” of the same phenomenon. David Bohm, among others, has expounded this idea, including the role of dialectics or hermeneutics in it ([4][4]). And I have tried to apply it in some detail to the history of solar neutrino research ([5][5]).

An unusual case of trifurcation of the sciatic nerve (2006)

The sciatic nerve is the largest branch of the sacral plexus. It usually divides at the upper angle of the popliteal fossa. One of its common variations is high division into tibial and common peroneal nerves. Low divisions are rare. Trifurcation of the sciatic nerve is extremely rare. Here, one such unusual type of trifurcation of sciatic nerve has been reported. The sciatic nerve gave an abnormal trunk in addition to the tibial and common peroneal nerves. The abnormal trunk divided into lateral cutaneous nerve of the calf and the peroneal communicating nerve. Since the point of trifurcation was in the middle of the popliteal fossa, it is of clinical and surgical importance. Neuroanatomy; 2006; 5: 6–7.
