Inorganic Pigments: Bases for Colored, Uncolored, and Transparent Products (1981)

Abstract Colored and uncolored inorganic pigments have been obtained since prehistoric times from natural minerals, at first empirically, then by specially developed methods. Since the beginning of the 18th century they have also gradually come to be studied scientifically, and today such research makes use of the latest techniques of solid‐state physics and chemistry. On the basis of our knowledge of technically and aesthetically important properties, it has been possible in the last seventy years to make synthetic pigments superior to the natural ones, to increase production drastically while maintaining the pigment properties unchanged or improving them, and to broaden the range by the addition of new synthetic pigments. Nowadays it is in principle possible to write down a specification for many fields of application, taking into account aesthetic, technical, economic, and ecological aspects, and to make the corresponding inorganic pigment in adequate amounts. In what follows I shall discuss the dependence of the scattering and absorption constants of pigments on the refractive index, the wavelength of the light and the particle size, the properties of pigmented systems that depend on the particle geometry, and also some of the optical characteristics determined by the arrangement of the atoms in the crystal lattice.

Toward a Shared Urban Transport System Ensuring Passengers & Goods Cohabitation (2011)

The paper presents radical new urban transportation system concepts, potentially allowing changing the economic and environmental costs of passenger and freight transportation. The driver focuses on the concept of sharing, which means to make a joint use of transport resources, between passengers and goods flows. From a field observation of several existing solutions, an inductive reasoning enables us to move from a set of specific facts to establish an archetype for a radical new urban transportation system. Once the archetype defined, it is translated in real life through the example of the On Route proposal for London. The research frame of this paper is the ANR C-Goods (City Goods Operation Optimization using Decision support System) project. Started in February 2009 the project involves four partners , and will end on 2011.
Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone: Role of Pulsatile Secretion in the Regulation of Reproduction (1986)

Reproductive function in humans changes markedly during life and is usually divided into four stages. During the initial stage, which begins early in fetal life and ends in infancy, gonadotropins and gonadal steroids are secreted at levels similar to those seen in early and mid-adolescence. In the second stage, which lasts from infancy through the first decade of life, reproductive function first regresses and then becomes quiescent. Puberty, the third stage, is heralded by a nocturnal increase in the secretion of gonadotropins and sex steroids. This nocturnal predominance gradually diminishes and disappears during the fourth stage — adulthood. In men, . . .
A new approach to disaster recovery as a service over cloud for database system (2013)

This paper presents a new approach to Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) over cloud for database system, which will ensure zero data loss and quick recovery. The solution makes use of internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) protocol, used for replicating database transaction logs over cloud infrastructure assuring zero data loss. The approach is well suited for any cloud environment, providing flexibility to cloud platform selection. The paper presents the detailed architecture and design using open source database Postgres to prove our point for Optimal DRaaS.
Professional Presence and Soft Skills: A Role for Accounting Education. (2010)

Current economic conditions have changed the dynamics of all employment, including accounting, which traditionally has had a supply shortfall. CPA firms are beginning to lay off experienced people for the first time in ten years, while still hiring new staff accountants. The AICPA Vision 2011 Project has added soft skills to the list of core competencies that successful accountants should possess. Therefore, a case can be made that accounting educators have a responsibility to help prepare students to make the transition from unfocused high school seniors to contributing members of a professional service team. It is incumbent upon accounting educators to prepare students to be competitive in the unfolding economic future. In summary, technical skills are necessary but not sufficient for a successful accounting career that includes an individual’s selection, retention and advancement. An incremental laboratory experience was designed to create an environment for soft skill development that does not diminish the attention to accounting theory and technical development. The mandatory experience was added to two required accounting classes starting in the spring of sophomore year. The lab was based on an assessment of needs identified by the profession in a series of interviews and considerations of the professional development literature. The lab experience includes: (1) Professional Motivation, (2) Emotional Intelligence, (3) Soft Skill Development, (4) Career Skills, and (5) Time Management. These specific skills are grounded in the context of emotional intelligence (Golemon, 2004), which focuses on student‘s individual responsibility for creating their own professional futures. This laboratory experience has a dual focus – of satisfying the needs of students and the accounting firms that employ them by creating mature professionals able to maximize the contribution they make over their entire career. The experience is designed to have students take ownership of their professional future early in their accounting education, resulting in their having a satisfying experience in their studies and ultimately, their career.
Defining the rectum: surgically, radiologically and anatomically (2006)

The terminology used in relation to the rectum varies considerably, added to this there is the subjective nature of clinical assessment and variability in the anatomy of the rectum and anus. It is imperative that definitions are clarified and standardized for use by all members of the multidisciplinary team involved in the care of patients with rectal cancer.

Blockade of Endothelial Growth Factor, Angiopoietin-2, Reduces Indices of Ards and Mortality in Mice Resulting from the Dual-Insults of Hemorrhagic Shock and Sepsis (2015)

We have demonstrated hemorrhagic shock "priming" for the development of indirect acute respiratory distress syndrome (iARDS) in mice following subsequent septic challenge, and show pathology characteristic of patients with iARDS, including increased lung microvascular permeability and arterial PO2/FI02 reduced to levels comparable to mild/moderate ARDS during the 48 h following hemorrhage. Loss of endothelial cell (EC) barrier function is a major component in the development of iARDS. EC growth factors, Angiopoietin (Ang)-1 and 2, maintain vascular homeostasis via tightly regulated competitive interaction with tyrosine kinase receptor, Tie2, expressed on ECs. Ang-2/Tie2 binding, in contrast to Ang-1, is believed to produce vessel destabilization, pulmonary leakage, and inflammation. Recent clinical findings from our trauma/surgical intensive care units and others have reported elevated Ang-2 in the plasma from patients that develop ARDS. We have previously described similarly elevated Ang-2 in plasma and lung tissue in our shock/sepsis model for the development of iARDS, and demonstrated effective reduction in indices of inflammation and lung tissue injury following siRNA inhibition of Ang-2 protein synthesis. In this study we show that Ang-2 in lung tissue and plasma spikes following hemorrhage (priming) and remain elevated at sepsis induction. In addition, that transient inhibition of Ang-2 function immediately following hemorrhage, suppressing priming, but not following sepsis, impacts the development of iARDS in our model. Our data demonstrate that selective temporal blockade of Ang-2 function following hemorrhagic shock priming significantly improved PO2/FIO2, decreased lung protein leak and indices of inflammation, and improved 10-day survival in our murine model for the development iARDS.
Android/OSGi-based vehicular network management system (2010)

With the enormous market potential of the telematics industry and the rapid development of information technology, automotive telematics has attracted considerable attention for mobile computing and intelligent transport systems (ITSs). This study integrates the Open Gateway Service Initiative Vehicle Expert Group (OSGi/VEG) into an Android platform to generate a vehicular Android/OSGi platform that has the advantages of both original platforms. These features include remote management, rich class sharing, proprietary vehicular applications, security policies, easy management of application programming interface (APIs), and an open environment. This study also integrates a cloud computing mechanism into the Android/OSGi platform, allowing service providers to upload their telematics bundles onto storage clouds using a provisioning server. A management agent in the Android/OSGi platform can simultaneously update its application service modules using remote storage clouds and use visual intelligence to continually change the distinguishing features of applications based on context awareness without user intervention. To assess the feasibility of the proposed Android/OSGi platform, this study presents a vehicular testbed to determine the functionalities of different telematics applications. Android/OSGi platform applications require less memory and system resources than those on the original Android platform when performing complicated operations. Additionally, the Android/OSGi platform launches telematics services more quickly than the original Android platform. The proposed platform overcomes the problem of frequent non-responsive exceptions in the original Android platform.
Information dissemination in partitionable mobile ad hoc networks (2003)

Ad-hoc wireless networks have no wired component, and may have unpredictable mobility pattern. Such networks can get partitioned and reconnected several times. One possible approach for information dissemination in such networks is to replicate information at multiple nodes acting as repositories, and employ quorum based strategies to update and query information. We propose three such strategies that also use local knowledge about the reachability of repositories to judiciously select quorums. The primary goal is high availability of information in the face of network partitioning. We also consider four policies to determine the appropriate time to perform updates. Experimental results indicate that a hybrid information management strategy and an absolute connectivity-based update trigger policy are most suited for partitionable ad-hoc networks.

LS-based joint estimation of carrier frequency offset, I/Q imbalance and DC offset for OFDM-based WLANs (2013)

In the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) using a direct-conversion receiver (DCR), transmission performance can be severely degraded by analog impairments. Typically the carrier frequency offset (CFO), the direct current offset (DCO) and the In-phase and Quadrature-phase (I/Q) imbalance cannot be efficiently or entirely eliminated in the analog domain. In this paper, a novel method for estimating the CFO, DCO and I/Q imbalance in the digital baseband domain is proposed. The proposed estimator first eliminate DCO by a real projection matrix. Then, the key contribution of the paper is that based on the reconstruction of the preamble symbols of the IEEE 802.11a/g standards, we iteratively estimate the CFO and the I/Q imbalance in a least-squares (LS) optimization fashion. Simulation results show that compared to typical existing methods, the proposed joint estimator achieves superior performance.
Improved spatial separation of neutral molecules (2017)

We have developed and experimentally demonstrated an improved electrostatic deflector for the spatial separation of molecules according to their dipole-moment-to-mass ratio. The device features a very open structure that allows for significantly stronger electric fields as well as for stronger deflection without molecules crashing into the device itself. We have demonstrated its performance using the prototypical carbonyl sulfide molecule and we discuss opportunities regarding improved quantum-state-selectivity for complex molecules and the deflection of unpolar molecules.
Power analysis detectable watermarks for protecting intellectual property (2010)

In this paper a method for adding a watermark to the power consumption of intellectual property is presented. The signature can be detected by using Differential Power Analysis, a cryptographic side channel attack that uses statistical techniques to detect register transitions in power consumption data. Details are given on how to calculate the probability of correctly determining whether the watermark is there. The number of samples that will be required to detect the watermark with a given accuracy can also be calculated based on how much of a price the designer is willing to pay in terms of area.
Iterative user-interface design (1993)

A method for developing user interfaces by refining them iteratively over several versions is presented. Each iteration is subjected to user testing or other usability-evaluation methods designed to uncover usability problems. This method not only eliminates problems of this nature, but also allows designers to take advantage of any insights into user needs that emerge from the tests. The author describes four case studies where the median improvement in overall usability from the first to the last iteration was 165%, and the median improvement per iteration was 38%.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Effect of urinary macromolecules and chondroitin sulphate on calcium oxalate crystallization in urine. (1994)

After filtration and ultrafiltration (10 kD) of 24 hour urine specimens from 12 healthy male subjects, calcium oxalate crystallization was induced in the filtered (FILTD) and ultrafiltered (UF) fractions by administration of a sodium oxalate load. In addition crystallization was also induced in UF fractions to which physiological quantities of chondroitin sulphate (CHON) had been added (UF+CHON). The rate of calcium oxalate crystallization was determined by measuring the rate at which turbidity increased. Crystal numbers and sizes were measured with a Malvern particle size analyzer and by scanning electron microscopy. Crystallization rates, crystal numbers and crystal sizes were generally lower in UF fractions than in FILTD fractions suggesting that urinary macromolecules are promoters of calcium oxalate crystallization. No increase in crystallization rate, crystal numbers or sizes occurred when chondroitin sulphate was added to UF fractions, indicating that the promoter activity of urinary macromolecules is not due to this particular glycosaminoglycan. On the contrary, crystallization rates were qualitatively lower in UF+CHON fractions than in UF fractions alone, suggesting a possible inhibitory role for chondroitin sulphate in real urine. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that while aggregates were present in UF and FILTD fractions, they were absent in UF+CHON fractions. This observation indicates that chondroitin sulphate might be an inhibitor of calcium oxalate crystal aggregation in real urine.
Factors associated with tobacco use among male adolescents in Magway Township, Myanmar (2013)

A community based cross-sectional study was carried out in Magway Township, Myanmar to examine factors influencing tobacco use among male adolescents aged 18-24 years. In March, 2012, 275 male adolescents were recruited in this study and the data were collected by using structured questionnaires. Chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression were used to examine factors associated with tobacco use. The results showed that the prevalence of tobacco use was 49%. Among the users, 94.1% were smokeless tobacco users and 65.4% were smokers and 65.4% were dual users. The median age of the respondents was 20 years and the majority were 18-20 years. Only 1.1% had good knowledge concerning risk of tobacco use. Father education, father smoking habit, presence of friends using tobacco, receiving tobacco advertise-ments from company and media and parental monitoring were significant predictors of tobacco use among male adolescents. Male adolescents who have friends using tobacco were 9 times more likely to use tobacco while adjusting the other factors. The study conducted that tobacco use among male adolescents shows no sign of decreasing. Interventions such as health promotion training for the adolescents together with their friends about the harmful effect of tobacco use should be promoted at the school level. Advertising campaigns against tobacco use are also needed to be strengthened to promote behavioral change within the specific age group and gender.
Molecular epidemiology of human respiratory syncytial virus over three consecutive seasons in Latvia (2013)

Lower respiratory tract infections caused by the human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) represent an immense burden of the disease, especially in young children. This study aimed to investigate the evolutionary history of HRSV strains isolated in the Children's Clinical University Hospital (Riga, Latvia) over three consecutive HRSV seasons. Of 207 samples from children hospitalized with lower respiratory tract infections, 88 (42.5%) tested positive for HRSV by RT-PCR. The seasonal activity started and peaked later than the average for the Northern hemisphere. Patients with HRSV lower respiratory tract infection were significantly younger than patients not infected with HRSV. HRSV-A viruses predominated for two consecutive seasons and were followed by an HRSV-B dominant season. Phylogenetic analysis based on glycoprotein G gene partial sequences revealed that viruses of both groups belonged to the worldwide dominant genotypes NA1 (HRSV-A) and BA-IV (HRSV-B). High diversity of this gene was driven only partially by selection pressure, as only two positively selected sites were identified in each group. Two of the HRSV-A isolates in this study contained a 72-nt duplication in the C-terminal end of the G gene (genotype ON1) that was first described in Canada in the 2010-2011 season. Initial spatial and temporal dynamics of this novel genotype were reconstructed by discrete phylogeographic analysis. Fifteen years after acquiring comparable 60-nt duplication in the G gene, genotype BA lineages have replaced all other HRSV-B strains. However, the population size of genotype ON1 plateaued soon and even decreased slightly before the beginning of the 2012-2013 season.
How To Implement a Pressure Soft Body Model (2004)

Since a lot of people ask me about details of my Pressure Soft Body model implementation I decided to write this paper. Paper contains detailed description of how to start the simplest program for simulation of soft bodies. Details about physics behind Pressure Soft Body Model can be find in [1], which is available online. There paper I will show how to organize the code and write first simple working soft body simulator. 1 General Information (It’s a working copy, English haven’t been checked, mail me if you will find any bugs) We will consider an example of Soft Ball build of a two dimensional shape of material points (MP). MP are connected by a linear springs but we use connection between neighbour MP only (see figure 1). We are not using any special structural springs at all. Figure 1: Simple two dimensional mesh. It is rather obviuos that simulation of a spring-mass (SM) model presented in the figure (1) in a gravity field will be useless. A shape will collapse and nothing interesting will happens. My goal in a pressure model is to http://panoramix.ift.uni.wroc.pl/∼maq maq@panoramix.ift.uni.wroc.pl apply one additional force into force accumulator which will keep the shape of the body to be more or less similar to initial one. That means that deformation of the body is allowed, but an energy minimum will be there where a ball looks like an initial one. What we will do is to apply a pressure force (see [1] for details) to an object. It means, physically that we consider ”closed shape” without any holes which has a gas inside. So, we will pump a gas into the body and calculate three forces gravity force, linear spring forces (body shape) and pressure force which keeps a shape of the body more or less constant. Let us describe now details of an algorithm, then I will describe details of all algorithm parts with ansi c code samples. In last section you will find full c code of working two dimensional soft body simulator.
Automated Deployment of Data Collection Policies over Heterogeneous Shared Sensing Infrastructures (2016)

Smart buildings and smart cities rely on interconnected sensor networks that collect data about their environment to support various applications. Developing and deploying the data collection architectures of these systems is a challenging problem. The specificities of the sensor platforms compel software engineers to work at a low level. This makes this activity tedious, producing code that badly exploits the network architecture, and hampering reuse of data collection policies. Moreover, several data collection programs cannot be guaranteed to be deployable on a shared infrastructure. In this paper, we present an automated approach that supports (i) the definition of data collection policies at a higher level of abstraction, (ii) the representation of the diverse platforms and the network topology, and (iii) the automatic composition and deployment of the policies on top of heterogeneous sensing infrastructures following different strategies. The approach is tooled and has been assessed on both realistic and simulated deployments.
