On the Design and Implementation of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (2010)

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) mainly deal with scalar data such as temperature, humidity, and light which are very suitable for low rate and low power IEEE 802.15 based networking technology. The commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) CMOS camera has fostered researchers to push WSN a step further. The unique properties of multimedia data delivery pose fresh challenges for resource constrained sensor networks. Transmitting raw data is very costly while limited processing power prevents sophisticated multimedia processing at the sensor nodes. Wireless sensor networks offer an attractive choice for low cost solutions for transmitting data wirelessly to a database to be evaluated. Wireless networks of visual sensors have recently emerged as a new type of sensor-based intelligence system. The goal of the visual sensor network is to provide a user with visual information from an arbitrary viewpoint within the monitored field. Wireless networks in combination with image sensors open up a multitude of previously unthinkable sensing applications. In an on-going project, we are designing and implementing a sensor node with a camera which would be capable of acquiring still images, transfer the data onto a personal computer through wireless communication, and store the image on a personal computer. This paper explains the process of capturing the raw image data with a camera sensor and the interfacing of the camera with the Overo Air computer-on-module (COM). Camera visibility and resolution will also be explained in this paper along with the procedure taken to configure the sensor node.
Oxidation of substituted N,N-dimethylanilines by cytochrome P-450: estimation of the effective oxidation-reduction potential of cytochrome P-450 (1989)

Rates of N-demethylation of N,N-dimethylaniline and of eight meta- or para-substituted N,N-dimethylanilines by rat liver cytochrome P-450PB-B (P-450) were determined under conditions where oxidation was supported by iodosylbenzene or NADPH-P-450 reductase. The rates of dimethylaniline oxidation were found to correlate with the substrate oxidation-reduction potential within each series of substrates supported by a particular oxygen activation protocol; the kcat for each substrate studied was approximately 20-fold faster in the iodosylbenzene-supported system relative to the NADPH-P-450 reductase supported system. Since the N-demethylation of amines is believed to proceed via an initial electron-transfer step, a kinetic scheme for P-450 was proposed that enabled evaluation of the data according to theoretical treatments that correlate rates of electron transfer with extrakinetic parameters. In these analyses, the data could be fitted to the Rehm-Weller and Agmon-Levine equations, providing lambda values (for the energetics of enzyme-substrate reorganization) of 22-26 kcal mol-1 and apparent E1/2 (oxidation-reduction potentials) of 1.7-2.0 V (vs saturated calomel) for the oxidized enzyme. The apparent E1/2 for the enzyme is composed of contributions from the intrinsic potential of the active prosthetic core of the enzyme, the Fe = O - porphyrin species, and a coulombic factor that is a function of the charge-separated radical anion/radical cation pair produced upon electron transfer.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Fractal-based texture analysis (1992)

Fractal geometry was applied in the modelling of nature texture exhibited in a digital image. One important parameter that can be derived and then used for texture characterization is the fractal dimension, which can be determined using two separate methods. In the first method, the fractal dimension is estimated based on the average intensity difference of the pixels within the region of interest. In the second method, the fractal dimension is determined from the Fourier power spectrum of the image data. In order to assess the effectiveness of the fractal dimension, the regions of interest were also analyzed using spatial grey level matrices statistics. Fractal dimension seems to be good in describing many natural textures as well as many human tissues as displayed in medical images such as the ultrasonic image. The results also show that the fractal dimension is a better parameter than many second-order statistics in texture characterization. The possible reasons are that many natural textures are very similar to fractal surfaces, and also the way the fractal model describing surface roughness correlates closely to human perception of texture.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Hypertonic Saline Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis (2007)

HS preceded by a bronchodilator is an inexpensive, safe, effective additional therapy in cystic fibrosis patients with stable lung function. Its use has been associated with a modest improvement in lung function and reduced frequency of pulmonary exacerbations.
Diagnosing misconfiguration with dynamic detection of configuration invariants (2007)

In software engineering, an invariant is a set of properties describing the value of a program variable. Dynamic invariant detection has been used to debug software errors. In this position paper, we propose to dynamically construct invariants for configuration settings, and to detect violations to configuration invariants for misconfiguration diagnosis. We also propose to use task-based suspect ranking to identify suspicious configuration changes made by less trustable programs to improve the diagnosis process. We describe our design of a misconfiguration diagnosis system based on dynamic configuration invariant detection and suspect ranking with task-related information.
Pharmacokinetics of rifabutin in HIV‐infected patients with or without wasting syndrome (1999)

Our study suggests that the pharmacokinetics of rifabutin in patients with wasting syndrome are not altered to a degree that is clinically important.
One-Step Oral Rehabilitation by Means of Implants' Insertion, Le Fort I, Grafts, and Immediate Loading (2009)

One-step oral rehabilitation can be used in selected patients. It significantly shortened the time of rehabilitation without adverse effects. Femur homograft derived from living donors is a valuable material for grafting jaw: it is safer, cheap, and available in programmed amounts and avoids a second operation field.
Development and In Silico Evaluation of a Model-Based Closed-Loop Fluid Resuscitation Control Algorithm (2018)

Model-based closed-loop fluid resuscitation algorithm may offer opportunities for standardized and patient-tailored therapy and reduction of clinician workload.
O<sub>2</sub>consumption and heart rate in developing zebrafish (<i>Danio rerio</i>): influence of temperature and ambient O<sub>2</sub> (1999)

Body mass, length, oxygen consumption (MO2) and heart rate (fH) were measured in "embryos" (prior to hatching), "larvae" (days 10-20), "juveniles" (days 30-70 in 10-day intervals), and "adults" (day 100) of the zebrafish Danio rerio. Fish were chronically reared at either 25, 28, or 31 degreesC and then acutely exposed to hypoxia at different developmental stages. We hypothesized that at any given rearing and measurement temperature, D. rerio would maintain MO2 at lower ambient PO2 [i.e., have a lower critical partial pressure (Pcrit)] as development progressed and that at any given developmental stage individuals reared and measured at higher temperatures would show a more pronounced hypoxic bradycardia. MO2 in normoxic fish at 28 degreesC peaked at approximately 40 micromol. g-1. h-1 at day 10, thereafter falling to 4-5 micromol. g-1. h-1 at day 100. The Q10 for MO2 was 4-5 in embryos, falling to 2-3 from day 10 to day 60 and rising again to 4-5 at day 100. Pcrit at 28 degreesC was approximately 80 mmHg in embryos but decreased sharply to 20 mmHg at 100 days, supporting the hypothesis that more mature fish would be better able to oxygen regulate to lower ambient PO2 levels. Pcrit increased sharply with measurement temperature. Heart rate (fH) at 28 degreesC increased from about 125 beats/min in embryos to a peak of approximately 175 beats/min at days 10-30 and then fell to approximately 130 beats/min by day 100. Unlike for MO2, the Q10 for fH was more constant at 1.2-2.5 throughout development. Hypoxic exposure at any temperature had no effect on fH until approximately day 30, after which time a hypoxic bradycardia was evident. As evident for MO2, the bradycardia in older larvae was more profound at higher temperatures. On the assumption that bradycardia is indicative of hypoxic stress, the increasing prevalence of a hypoxic bradycardia in older, warmer individuals supports the hypothesis that increasing hypoxic susceptibility with development would be exacerbated by increasing temperature. Collectively, these data indicate that the ability to regulate MO2 and fH in response to the compounding demands of increased temperature and/or decreased oxygen availability first develops after approximately 20 days in D. rerio and, thereafter, the ability to maintain MO2 in the face of ambient hypoxia progressively builds through to adulthood. Additionally, the temperature responses of metabolism and heart rate differ substantially at different phases of development, suggesting a loose coupling between the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, at least early in development.
Characterization of carotenoid biosynthetic genes in the ascomycete Gibberella zeae (2009)

Carotenoids are a structurally diverse class of terpenoid pigments that are synthesized by many microorganisms and plants. In this study, we identified five putative carotenoid biosynthetic genes from the ascomycete Gibberella zeae (GzCarB, GzCarO, GzCarRA, GzCarT, and GzCarX). HPLC showed that the fungus produces two carotenoids: neurosporaxanthin and torulene. We deleted the five genes individually to determine their functions. GzCarB, GzCarRA, and GzCarT were required for neurosporaxanthin biosynthesis, but the deletion of GzCarX or GzCarO (DeltagzcarX or DeltagzcarO) failed to alter the production of neurosporaxanthin or torulene. DeltagzcarRA and DeltagzcarB did not produce neurosporaxanthin or torulene. DeltagzcarB led to the accumulation of phytoene, which is an intermediate in carotenoid biosynthesis, but DeltagzcarRA did not. DeltagzcarT produced torulene but not neurosporaxanthin. Based on these functional studies and similarities to carotenoid biosynthesis genes in other fungi, we deduced the functions of the three genes and propose the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway of G. zeae.
The Adjustable Saline Augmentation Mammaplasty (1999)

The use of an expander/implant for augmentation mammaplasty allows for increased patient satisfaction in the postoperative period. Surgical time may be shortened as final volume determination is not an intraoperative concern, and secondary surgery for certain complications such as asymmetry, wrinkling, and capsular contracture can often be avoided.
XYLOOLIGOSACCHARIDES FROM AGRICULTURAL BY-PRODUCTS: CHARACTERISATION, PRODUCTION AND PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS (2017)

The current study is a review of characteristics, production, physiological properties and application of xylooligosaccharides (XOS). XOS are the carbohydrates, their molecules are built from xylose residues linked mainly by в-(1→4)-glycoside bonds. Xylan is important for plant cell walls and is widely spread component in agricultural by-products. XOS are products of xylan hydrolytic degradation, and exhibiting the high prebiotic potential. The XOS preparation of wheat and rye bran stimulated the cells accumulation ‑ 1,4∙1010 CFU/cm3 of L. аcidophilus and 9,2∙1010 CFU/cm3 of В. bifidum. A difference in XOS molecules branching causes a wide range of their physiological properties: antioxidant, immunomodulation, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic. XOS can reduce high cholesterol level and triglycerides in blood plasma. XOS application reviewed in this article opens new perspectives on its potential use for human consumption. The rich sources of xylan are wheat, rye and barley bran, rice husk, wheat straw, corncobs, cotton stalk. Industrial way of XOS production includes chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis with following purification. Chemical methods are based on hydrothermal pretreatment and acidic or alkali extraction. Obtained oligosaccharides have a wide range of polymerization degree (DP) from 2 to 20. Enzymatic methods include fermentation with xylanase that allow controlling the XOS accumulation with certain DP. The different chromatographic purification after hydrolysis is used for analytical purposes. There are anion-exchange, size-exclusion, affinity, size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography. In addition, biomethods are preferred for XOS used in food, because such preparations do not contain monosaccharides and furfural as contaminants. XOS are stable in a wide range of temperature and pH, justifying the development of new synbiotics generation. Most widely XOS are used in production of functional products and pharmaceutical preparations. But they are also applied in cosmetic, agricultural and mixed feed industries.
Direct fabrication of an integral ceramic mould by stereolithography (2009)

The purpose of this study was to develop a novel direct fabrication of an integral ceramic mould by stereolithography (SL). An aqueous ceramic suspension suitable for SL was prepared and its photosensitive parameters were measured to optimize its formula. For a thin-walled aerospace component, the whole process of designing, building, drying, binder removing, and sintering of an integral ceramic casting mould was carried out. Finally, to verify whether this casting mould could meet the requirements of the casting process, an aluminium casting part was cast with the anti-gravity casting method. Compared with traditional fabrication of a multi-layer ceramic shell for investment casting, this novel direct fabrication of an integral ceramic casting mould would meet the needs of not only research but also other small batch products with lower costs and shorter lead time.
Simultaneous convolutional neural network for highly efficient image steganography (2019)

Over the past decade, steganography has attracted a large number of researchers' attention because of its practical value to information security. Unlike cryptography which aims to protect the content of the message, steganography involves hiding the message within a transport layer. Most traditional methods directly hide information in one or two least significant bits. Recently, miscellaneous effort with deep learning approach has been devoted to hiding more information without losing the integrity of the transportation layer. In this paper, our work focuses on image steganography which means hiding an image (secret image) inside another image of the same size (cover image). A deep convolutional neural network with similar architecture to U-Net is employed as the hiding network, and a new training scheme is proposed to speed up the training phase. Through extensive experiments, it has been verified that the new network architecture, combined with the new training strategy, can result in lower mean square error of pixel difference whereas the training time is reduced by half.
Resonant Modes in Waveguide Windows (1960)

Analysis and experimental verification of a class of resonant fields, called ghost-modes, occurring in waveguide dielectric windows are presented. Numerical solutions for a simple geometry are given through universal curves. Knowledge about ghost-modes has importance to designers of high-power windows. It also leads to a measuring technique for dielectric constants through a frequency measurement.
Implementation of high speed Reed-Solomon decoder (2003)

Today the digital coded systems for either data transmission or data storage are much in common. The output of the channel or storage medium differs from its input because they are both sensitive to the errors that can result from impaired transmission. For that reason, Reed-Solomon (RS) codes are commonly used in various applications. In this paper, we propose the VLSI implementation of Reed-Solomon decoder with the development of an architecture featuring parallel and pipelined processing to improve the speed and low power design. We analyzed the RS decoding algorithm for the efficient parallel and pipelined structure and modified the Euclid's algorithm arithmetic part to apply the parallel structure. The overall RS decoder is compared to Shuo's. We show the 10% area efficiency increase over Shao's time domain decoder and three times faster operation. In addition, we approve the proposed RS decoders with Altera FPGA Flex 10K-50, and Implemented with LG 0.6 processing.
Geographic Position Determined by Intersection (1968)

Several unique geodetic distance intersection airborne surveying methods for determining the geographic positions of points on the earth's surface have been developed by engineers of the Cadastral Surveys Branch, United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. The analytical solutions to the geometric problems associated with the three most successful of these methods, the three range, four range, and two range and elevation solutions are described. The geographic coordinates of a point can be determined using slope distances only or slope distances and elevations measured from several points of known geographic position and elevation to the point of unknown position. If electronic distance measuring instruments are employed for measuring the slope distances between points and an automatic computer with double precision is used to obtain the analytical solution, the geodetic distance intersection methods are among the simplest and most direct methods available for determining the geographic coordinates of points of unknown position.
A Rapid Microtiter Assay for Duck Hepatitis Virus Reverse Transcriptase (2003)

The duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) genome contains a pol gene that codes for the viral polymerase protein. This enzyme, which is essential for the replication of the virus, has multiple activities including an RNA directed DNA polymerase or reverse transcriptase (RT) activity, an RNase H activity, and a DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity. The assay described in this chapter is designed to measure the ability of test compounds to inhibit the RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity of the DHBV pol gene product. The assay is based on research performed in the laboratory of Dr. Christoph Seeger () and on the observation that the e stem loop structure in the pregenomic RNA is required for initiation of DNA synthesis (, , ).
Mechanised Horsemen: Red Cavalry Commanders and the Second World War (2004)

A casual observer could be forgiven for thinking that there were two Red Armies in the Second World War. By the end of September 1941, the Red Army had effectively lost Ukraine, eastern Poland, Byelorussia, the Baltic States, much of European Russia and about half of the five-million-strong force with which it began the war three months earlier. It was seemingly powerless in the face of the Nazi invasion. The Red Army of 1943-45 reconquered all of this territory, albeit at the cost of millions of lives, and drove the Nazis back to Berlin achieving total victory in May 1945.
Induction of anti-tumor immunity in mice using a syngeneic endothelial cell vaccine. (2003)

Tumor endothelium could represent a novel target for active and passive immunotherapies of cancer. Here, we show that endothelial cells can be used as a vaccine in mice. In this study, three endothelial cell vaccine preparations from syngeneic (SVR), allogeneic (ISOS-1) and xenogeneic (ISO-HAS) sources were used to vaccinate mice. All mice developed humoral immune responses to endothelial cells and showed lower basal serum VEGF levels (37-45% lower) compared with unvaccinated control mice. Mice receiving the syngeneic SVR vaccine showed substantial inhibition of tumor growth after B16F10 melanoma challenge (50% of the mice in this group were tumor-free). The tumors that developed in the few mice in the syngeneic group had lower microvessel density counts (4-5 fold) compared with the other groups. The data suggests an in vivo antiangiogenic effect as the potential mechanism for the anti-cancer effect. In summary, further studies using other tumor models to demonstrate broad protection of this novel type of antiangiogenic vaccine are warranted.
Platelet von Willebrand's antigen II: active release by aggregating agents and a marker of platelet release reaction in vivo (1981)

von Willebrand's antigen II (vW AgII), a plasma and platelet antigen immunologically and biochemically distinct from factor-VIII-related antigen (VIIIR:Ag), is decreased in von Willebrand's disease. vW AgII is released from platelets during aggregation and clotting. The release of platelet vW AgII was studied in washed platelets following aggregation by thrombin, collagen, and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Total platelet vW AgII was 3.39 U/10(9) platelets. Thrombin and collagen yielded release of 85% and 86% of platelet vW AgII, respectively, at the highest concentrations. Release of platelet vW AgII was correlated with the release of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT). Release of vW AgII by collagen and thrombin was inhibited by metabolic inhibitors. In addition, collagen release of vW AgII was inhibited by aspirin. In clinical syndromes associated with intravascular platelet destruction, marked elevations of plasma vW AgII were noted. Thus, vW AgII is released by a metabolically active process from platelets during aggregation. In addition, vW AgII appears to be a marker of intravascular platelet destruction.
Effect of Wetting Agents on 'Thompson Seedless' and 'Perlette' Grapes (1971)

Dipping clusters of 9Perlette9 and 9Thompson Seedless9 into various concentrations of three wettingagent formulations had toxic effects on berry surfaces. Low concentrations resulted in a 1ight "ring scarring." With increasing concentrations of wetting agents, heavy "ring scarring," "buckskin-type" corky areas, and reduction of berry size occurred. The most severe injury consisted of small berries often entirely covered with cork, sometimes splitting, and in many cases berries died. 9Perlette9 grapes were more sensitive to injury than were 9Thompson Seedless.9
Economic evaluation of wireless charging tram system (2016)

In many nations of Europe, tram is still used as main public transportation system. Despite of its many advantages, overhead lines installed along the track line cause severe problems, such as safety issue, maintenance and difficulty in renewing road system. To solve these problems, wireless charging segment is developed to replace the overhead lines, catenary, and pantograph. With wireless charging segment installed underground, tram can operate freely without any support from overhead lines. In this paper, a model of wireless charging tram system is suggested considering all main parts, such as tractive effort, battery modeling, and driving cycle. In order to find out the minimum cost, optimization of battery capacity, power track allocation and pickup capacity of wireless charging tram system is conducted using heuristic algorithm. Moreover, the optimized result and location of power track installation based on Prague tram line are derived. Lastly, initial installation cost between conventional and proposed tram system is evaluated.
