Robust predictive robot control (1991)

In previous years several control concepts have been applied to robot control. Based on the computed torque method a predictive control law is considered in the paper. It is shown that the predictive control concept is a powerful method to decrease the tracking error in robot manipulator control. Being aware of appearing model-plant mismatches the controller design-procedure must be modified to guarantee disturbance attenuation. Applying an input-output stability analysis it can be shown that the resulting control law is robust against these model-plant mismatches.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
<scp>M</scp>arie<scp>de</scp><scp>F</scp>rance (2017)

Marie de France was the author of four works in French verse written in the late twelfth century (c. 1160s–90s): the Fables, a collection of short moral narratives with animal or human protagonists; the Lais, 12 stories about love relationships, often with otherworldly elements; the Espurgatoire seint Patriz, an account of a knight's visit to the afterlife; and the Vie seinte Audree, the life of an Anglo‐Saxon royal saint. Her works were composed in England and enjoyed by noble audiences there and elsewhere in northern Europe. We know very little about her as a historical person but her learning and courtly connections suggest that she was of noble birth. Her interests in memory, names, landscape, and translation are evident in all four works.
Avalanche Breakdown Timing Statistics for Silicon Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (2017)

Silicon-based single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are widely used as single photon detectors of visible and near infrared photons. There has, however, been a lack of models accurately interpreting the physics of impact ionization (the mechanism behind avalanche breakdown) for these devices. In this paper, we present a statistical simulation model for silicon SPADs that is capable of predicting breakdown probability, mean time to breakdown, and timing jitter. Our model inherently incorporates carriers' dead space due to phonon scattering and allows for nonuniform electric fields. Model validation included avalanche gain, excess noise factor, breakdown voltage, breakdown probability, and timing statistics. Simulating an n-on-p and a p-on-n SPAD design using our model, we found that the n-on-p design offers significantly improved mean time to breakdown and timing jitter characteristics. For a breakdown probability of 0.5, mean time to breakdown and timing jitter from the n-on-p design were 3 and 4 times smaller compared to those from the p-on-n design. The data reported in this paper are available from the ORDA digital repository (DOI: 10.15131/shef.data.4823248).
Perceptual Similarities Amongst Novel, 3D Objects (2007)

Similarity has been proposed as a fundamental principle underlying mental object representations and capable of supporting cognitive-level tasks such as categorization.However, much of the research has considered connections between similarity and categorization for tasks performed using a single perceptual modality.Considering similarity and categorization within a multimodal context opens up a number of important questions: Are the similarities between objects the same when they are perceived using different modalities or using more than one modality at a time?Is similarity still able to explain categorization performance when objects are experienced multimodally?In this study, we addressed these questions by having subjects explore novel, 3D objects which varied parametrically in shape and texture using vision alone, touch alone, or touch and vision together.Subjects then performed a pair-wise similarity rating task and a free sorting categorization task.Multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis of similarity data revealed that a single underlying perceptual map whose dimensions corresponded to shape and texture could explain visual, haptic, and bimodal similarity ratings.However, the relative dimension weights varied according to modality: shape dominated texture when objects were seen, whereas shape and texture were roughly equally important in the haptic and bimodal conditions.Some evidence was found for a multimodal connection between similarity and categorization: the probability of category membership increased with similarity while the probability of a category boundary being placed between two stimuli decreased with similarity.In addition, dimension weights varied according to modality in the same way for both tasks.The study also demonstrates the usefulness of 3D printing technology and MDS techniques in the study of visuohaptic object processing.
The Transimpedance Limit (2010)

The transimpedance limit describes the maximum transimpedance that a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) can attain for a given bandwidth and technology. We analyze and compare this limit for a wide variety of TIA topologies thus exposing their relative merits. The topologies considered are the shunt-feedback TIA with single and multistage amplifier, the shunt-feedback TIA with feedback capacitor, the shunt-feedback TIA followed by a post amplifier, the shunt-feedback TIA with a current amplifier, the common-base/gate feedforward TIA, the shunt-feedback TIA with a common-base/gate input stage, and the shunt-feedback TIA with a regulated-cascode input stage. The analysis includes a discussion of the conditions under which the limit is realizable.
La décision médicale est-elle réellement partagée en 2014 ? État des lieux en médecine générale. Une enquête qualitative (2014)

Introduction 
La decision medicale partagee est le fruit d’une evolution multifactorielle dans le temps qui a abouti au modele de decision medicale partagee. La definition de la decision medicale partagee comprend au minimum : l’echange d’information entre le medecin et le patient, la deliberation et la decision commune. L’objectif de notre travail etait de faire un etat des lieux des pratiques de la decision medicale partagee en medecine generale en 2014. 
Methode 
Nous avons realise une enquete qualitative, descriptive par entretiens semi-diriges en focus groupe dans les departements des Alpes-Maritimes et du Var entre juin et septembre 2014. Les focus groupes etaient enregistres de maniere anonyme et ont ete retranscrit en verbatim puis analyses a l’aide du logiciel Nvivo. 
Resultats 
17 participants ont ete inclus en 3 focus groupes. Nous avons recueilli de nombreuses experiences dont la definition de la decision medicale partagee selon nos participants. Le role primordial du patient dans la decision medicale partagee a ete mis en avant. L’ethique et le respect des differences de chacun ont ete mentionnes par nos participants. Le consensus de la decision medicale partagee a ete signale et le caractere asymetrique de la relation medecin-patient aussi souleve. Nous avons retrouve la notion de degre de partage avec une decision medicale partagee qualifiee comme etant sur « differents niveaux ». Nous avons identifie des facteurs qui peuvent influencer la decision medicale partagee classe en trois categories : lies au medecin, lies au patient et lies a la situation. 
Conclusion 
La decision medicale partagee est un modele relationnelle qui doit faire partie de la panoplie du medecin mais ne doit pas en etre le seul modele et ne doit pas etre impose dans la relation medecin-patient. Elle necessite une adaptation de chaque instant de la part du medecin.
Reproducibility of the Histological Diagnosis of Cervical Dysplasia Among Pathologists From 4 Continents (2008)

The reliable histological diagnosis of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs), especially low-grade SIL, is known to be problematic. Poor diagnostic reproducibility can complicate studies addressing its appropriate management. As part of an international study comparing expectant management of histologically proven low-grade SIL with immediate loop electrocautery excisional procedure, this study was carried out to assess interobserver agreement on the histological diagnosis of SILs among a group of 22 pathologists from 5 countries and the intraobserver reliability among a subset of 7 Canadian pathologists. Fifty-six histological slides from colposcopically obtained cervical biopsies were circulated to each of the 22 pathologists. To assess intraobserver reliability, 7 Canadian pathologists assessed 40 of the slides once and 16 of the slides twice. Kappa values were used to measure interobserver agreement with an overall kappa value of 0.61 (95% confidence interval, 0.60-0.62) corresponding to moderate reliability. The weighted kappa values for interobserver agreement ranged from 0.46 to 0.88 (median, 0.79). The intraobserver reliability of 7 Canadian pathologists ranged from substantial to excellent based upon the weighted kappa values ranging from 0.62 to 0.94 (median, 0.72). This degree of reliability is comparable to that found in similar studies. In an individual case, there can be considerable disparity in diagnosis that can result in disparate management strategies. This adds a layer of complexity to any trial that attempts to assess optimal treatment strategies or the natural history of this disease.
[Head injuries after an attack by an unarmed assailant]. (1992)

From an analysis of injuries ensues clearly that even an attack by an unarmed aggressor aimed at the head of the victim is very dangerous and can cause a wide range of injuries from trivial to very serious ones leading to prolonged work incapacity. It is not possible to conclude from the injuries by how many blows it was caused because even after a single injury severe and complicated injuries may develop. From the injury it is not possible to assess unequivocally whether the injury was proceeded by a fist, open hand or foot or a combination of the two. In two subjects of the group permanent sequelae developed (one injury of the eye, 1 disfiguring scar of the eyelid).
Ghrelin: Central and Peripheral Implications in Anorexia Nervosa (2013)

Increasing clinical and therapeutic interest in the neurobiology of eating disorders reflects their dramatic impact on health. Chronic food restriction resulting in severe weight loss is a major symptom described in restrictive anorexia nervosa (AN) patients, and they also suffer from metabolic disturbances, infertility, osteopenia, and osteoporosis. Restrictive AN, mostly observed in young women, is the third largest cause of chronic illness in teenagers of industrialized countries. From a neurobiological perspective, AN-linked behaviors can be considered an adaptation that permits the endurance of reduced energy supply, involving central and/or peripheral reprograming. The severe weight loss observed in AN patients is accompanied by significant changes in hormones involved in energy balance, feeding behavior, and bone formation, all of which can be replicated in animals models. Increasing evidence suggests that AN could be an addictive behavior disorder, potentially linking defects in the reward mechanism with suppressed food intake, heightened physical activity, and mood disorder. Surprisingly, the plasma levels of ghrelin, an orexigenic hormone that drives food-motivated behavior, are increased. This increase in plasma ghrelin levels seems paradoxical in light of the restrained eating adopted by AN patients, and may rather result from an adaptation to the disease. The aim of this review is to describe the role played by ghrelin in AN focusing on its central vs. peripheral actions. In AN patients and in rodent AN models, chronic food restriction induces profound alterations in the « ghrelin » signaling that leads to the development of inappropriate behaviors like hyperactivity or addiction to food starvation and therefore a greater depletion in energy reserves. The question of a transient insensitivity to ghrelin and/or a potential metabolic reprograming is discussed in regard of new clinical treatments currently investigated.
Epidemic Heat Effects (1982)

<i>Heatstroke</i>(environmentally induced hyperpyrexia) afflicts unacclimatized, susceptible persons who are suddenly exposed to unusually hot conditions. Epidemics are likely to occur in large cities that experience cold winters and include foci of urban dwellings that have been aptly named "heat islands."<sup>1,2</sup>Sporadic cases of heatstroke can occur under particularly provocative conditions, such as when infective pyrexia occurs in a person during the course of a heat wave, when dehydration occurs in persons lost in a hot desert,<sup>3</sup>in physical training camps with rigorous discipline, and in hot industries. <i>Heat exhaustion</i>(hypotension or relative hypovolemia produced or aggravated by hot environments) naturally occurs under similar conditions but is by no means confined to such circumstances. In mild degree, indeed, it is almost a universal occurrence. <i>Heat-aggravated disease</i>must be considered when heat adds to the burden on body systems that are already disturbed by disease.

BUILDING CARS TO CUSTOMER ORDER — WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR INBOUND LOGISTICS OPERATIONS? (2004)

The automotive industry is undergoing a strategic transition. Cost pressure from rising stock levels in the market and increasing incentives needed to sell these vehicles are forcing vehicle manufacturers to rethink their prevalent “stock‐push” approach, building vehicles against a forecast and selling from stock, in favor of a stock‐less “build‐to‐order” order fulfillment strategy. More responsive order fulfillment at the vehicle manufacturer level however will not only require flexible and responsive component supply, but will also have wide ramifications for the logistics operations. Based on three case studies of major inbound logistics operations, this exploratory study assesses their ability to support such a build‐to‐order approach, as well as the potential implications of such transition. The paper concludes with a set of general strategies for how these implications could be mitigated.
Studies of DEAE‐dextran‐mediated gene transfer (1997)

DEAE-dextran-mediated gene transfer was studied for the introduction of pSV2neo DNA into Fisher-rat 3T3 (FR3T3) cells. Zeta (zeta) potentials of the DEAE-dextran-DNA complexes and FR3T3 cells were found to be dependent on the concentration of DEAE-dextran in the medium. The maximum transfection efficiency occurred at a DEAE-dextran/DNA ratio of 50:1 or thereabouts. The interaction between DNA and cells is determined by the adsorption process. The results obtained, along with the correlation between the kinetic adsorption behaviour of 3H-labelled DNA and the transfection efficiency, indicated that adsorption of DEAE-dextran-DNA complexes to the negatively charged cell surfaces, due to electrostatic and dispersion attraction, plays the decisive role in determining the DNA transfection efficiencies.
In vivo studies with two phospholipase C fractions from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1987)

Two phospholipase C fractions were detected in culture supernatants from Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 19660, PAO1, and D10C by preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Both hemolytic fractions from strain ATCC 19660 were isolated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and were found to cause paralysis, death, dermonecrosis, footpad swelling, and vascular permeability in mice. In vivo toxicity was directly associated with enzymatic activity.

In this period the numbers of papers published featuring this antibody has increased 10-fold from 338 to 3489 indicating the considerable enthusiasm with which this antibody has been studied. This review attempts to provide an update on the characterization of the Ki67 protein, its function and its use as a prognostic or diagnostic tool.
Mg doping profile in III–N light emitting diodes in close proximity to the active region (2006)

Abstract We have investigated how in (AlGaIn)N quantum well (QW) light emitting diodes, grown by low‐pressure metal‐organic vapor phase epitaxy, the actual Mg doping profile close to the interface between AlGaN electron barrier and QW active region, known to be affected by both segregation of back diffusion of Mg, can be controlled and adjusted by the appropriate choice of growth parameters. Almost identical Mg doping profiles, and thus electroluminescence efficiencies which are strongly affected by the Mg doping profile, could be achieved for different combinations of Mg precursor flow and growth temperature.

Forged and Counterfeit Documents (2009)

Abstract When allowed to proliferate, fraudulent documents can have a devastating impact on both the integrity and infrastructure of financial systems, as well as the security of a nation. Technologies such as digital imaging software, scanners, color printing devices, and the Internet have paved the way for criminals to easily create an array of fraudulent documents. This improved capability of the counterfeiter, coupled with a lack of knowledge of genuine features by the acceptors of these instruments, has contributed to their escaping detection. Combating counterfeiting not only requires attention from law enforcement, but also concerted effort from manufacturers, document issuers, financial institutions, and retailers that accept documents as means for transactions. The purpose of this article is to focus on the role of forensic document examiners (FDEs) and the objective examinations they conduct in order to differentiate counterfeit or forged from genuine. The tasks involved in performing these analyses can be complex because, in addition to determining authenticity, the examiner may be called upon to provide expertise regarding how fraudulent documents are constructed, and whether potential associations exist with other suspect documents. Ultimately, providing accurate, unbiased courtroom testimony to assist the trier of fact is the culmination of thorough and intensive examinations. These procedures that are utilized have been outlined with emphasis on physical characteristics, printing processes, security features, and electronic media. A brief discussion of each ensues with numerous illustrations depicting the types of features encountered, as well as necessary examinations that FDEs should conduct to determine if documents are fraudulent.
A 5-Gb/s CDR Circuit With Automatically Calibrated Linear Phase Detector (2008)

This paper presents a 5-Gb/s clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit which implements a calibration circuit to correct static phase offsets in a linear phase detector. Static phase offsets directly reduce the performance of CDR circuits as the incoming data is not sampled at the center of the eye. Process nonidealities can cause static phase offsets in linear phase detectors by adversely affecting the circuits in a way which is difficult to design for, making calibration an attractive solution. Both the calibration algorithm and test chip implementation are described and measured results are presented. The CDR circuit was fabricated in a 0.18-mum, six metal layer standard CMOS process. With a pseudorandom bit sequence of 2 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">7</sup> - 1 calibration improved the measured bit error rate from 4.6 x 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-2</sup> to less than 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-13</sup> .
Long-range road detection for off-line scene analysis (2009)

Long-range detection of road surface in a sequence of images from a front camera aboard a vehicle is known as an unsolved problem. We propose an algorithm using a single camera and based on color segmentation which has interesting performance and which is stable along the sequence whatever its length. It is an off-line algorithm which makes good use of current and successive images to build reliable models of the color aspects of the road and of its environment at each vehicle position. To apply the proposed algorithm a radiometric calibration step is required to ensure uniform responses of the pixels over the image. The algorithm consists in three steps: image smoothing consistent with perspective effect on the road, building of the models of the road and non-road colors, and region growing of the road region. The relevance of the proposed algorithm is illustrated by an application to the roadway visibility estimation in stereovision and its performance are illustrated by experiments in difficult situations.
Seedlayer and pre-heatfng effects on crystallography and recording performance of CoCrPtB perpendicular media (2003)

Grey-neural forecasting system (2003)

In this paper, a new nonlinear forecasting system using a grey predictor model and neural network tuner is proposed. This paper puts its emphasis on a few data and incomplete information to build the predictive system, excavates the connotative essence of a signal from the GM (1,1) predictor and refers to anomalistic (over predictive error) conditions to build the neural tuner database. So in the forecasting model the GM (1,1) model system predictive value will be appreciably modified while the anomalistic condition occurs. Simulation in well-known Mackey-Glass time series is presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed predictive system.
