Fuzzy management of surveillance sensors (2002)

A fuzzy management system is developed to cope with the problem of evaluating radar tasks in order to obtain their priority of execution. Based on all the available track and sector data, a reasoning system determines a priority for each one of the possible tasks that needs to be executed in each decision cycle through an inference process similar to that performed by a human operator. This methodology allows one to integrate high-level information in the decision process. The formal method elected to represent the variables involved in this decision process are the possibility theory and fuzzy set theory, since it offers a unified framework to represent uncertainty knowledge. In this sense, to obtain the priority for each task the reasoning process relies on a decision tree whose nodes are linguistic variables that represent the intermediate concepts used by a human operator to define the task priority. The study demonstrates the validity of this approach to cope with the task management problem.
Processing, rheology, and storage stability of recycled EVA/LDPE modified bitumen (2007)

Abstract The optimum processing conditions for the manufacture of polymer‐modified bitumens (PMBs), as well as the rheological properties of the final polymer‐bitumen blends, strongly depend on the characteristics of the mixing device used. The present work is focused on the comparison among the kinetics of the mixing process and the rheological properties and microstructural characteristics of PMBs manufactured in two different mixers. Thus, blends of 60/70 penetration grade bitumen and recycled EVA/LDPE were processed in both high and low‐shear devices. Knowledge on the evolution of shear viscosity and microstructure with time, as well as on the mechanical properties of the final polymer‐bitumen blends, was gained from rheological and modulated DSC tests, and optical microscopy. The results obtained demonstrate that processing in the high‐shear device yields a significant decrease in the time needed for the polymer‐bitumen blend to reach the final stage of the manufacturing process, as well as an important reduction in bitumen oxidation and enhanced properties in a wide range of in‐service temperatures. However, polymer‐bitumen blends manufactured in the high‐shear device are not stable during its storage at high temperature. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 47:181–191, 2007. © 2007 Society of Plastics Engineers
Rapid technique of DNA-DNA in situ hybridisation on formalin fixed tissue sections using microwave irradiation. (1987)

The relative sensitivities of different protocols for detecting cytomegalovirus nucleic acid sequences in histological specimens, using a biotinylated cDNA probe, were assessed. Several commonly used pre-treatment steps were not essential, nor was the use of a highly sensitive detection system. The choice of enzyme used for proteolytic digestion of tissue seems to be important, and increasing the temperature of denaturation of tissue and probe DNA to above 100 degrees C greatly increased the sensitivity of the method. Difficulties in achieving such high temperatures in a controlled manner were overcome by the use of a rapid microwave heating method that can be used routinely in laboratories. This technique detected cytomegalovirus infections in formalin fixed, paraffin processed tissue sections within a single working day.

Experimental Study on Using the Copper Slag to Gasify MSW (2009)

Municipal Solid Waste(MSW) treatment was an urgent problem of the human face to,and also was a research hot at present.MSW gasification technology had several outstanding advantages,such as noticeable volume and mass reduction,effective resource utilization.At present,it was a main method for MSW treatment.The temperature of the liquid copper slag came from copper smelting which could reach 1200—1350℃,waste heat quality and use value was very high.In this paper,through MSW gasification experiment equipment,the authors conducted the gasification experimental study with high temperature copper slag.The primary research concentrated mainly on the important factors that influenced MSW gasifying,such as temperature,carrying gas and heat-carrying agent,so as to combine the MSW treatment and recovery of waste heat more efficiently.We know through experiment that,using the copper slag as heat-carrying agent and carrying the steam had a positive effect on gas production's quality.
A Non-orthogonal Distributed Space-Time Coded Protocol Part I: Signal Model and Design Criteria (2006)

In this- two-part series of papers, a generalized non-orthogonal amplify and forward (GNAF) protocol which generalizes several known cooperative diversity protocols is proposed. Transmission in the GNAF protocol comprises of two phases - the broadcast phase and the cooperation phase. In the broadcast phase, the source broadcasts its information to the relays as well as the destination. In the cooperation phase, the source and the relays together transmit a space-time code in a distributed fashion. The GNAF protocol relaxes the constraints imposed by the protocol of Jing and Hassibi on the code structure. In part-I of this paper, a code design criteria is obtained and it is shown that the GNAF protocol is delay efficient and coding gain efficient as well. Moreover the GNAF protocol enables the use of sphere decoders at the destination with a non-exponential maximum likelihood (ML) decoding complexity. In part-II, several low decoding complexity code constructions are studied and a lower bound on the diversity-multiplexing gain tradeoff of the GNAF protocol is obtained
Commonsense Causal Reasoning Using Millions of Personal Stories (2011)

The personal stories that people write in their Internet weblogs include a substantial amount of information about the causal relationships between everyday events. In this paper we describe our efforts to use millions of these stories for automated commonsense causal reasoning. Casting the commonsense causal reasoning problem as a Choice of Plausible Alternatives, we describe four experiments that compare various statistical and information retrieval approaches to exploit causal information in story corpora. The top performing system in these experiments uses a simple co-occurrence statistic between words in the causal antecedent and consequent, calculated as the Pointwise Mutual Information between words in a corpus of millions of personal stories.
Very low-voltage (0.8 V) CMOS receiver frontend for 5 GHz RF applications (2002)

A fully integrated low-voltage RF receiver front end for 5 GHz radio applications, implemented in a standard 0.18 μm CMOS technology, is presented. The receiver consists of a differential low noise amplifier, an active mixer, and a quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator. The complete receiver is packaged in a standard 24-pin ceramic flat pack and consumes 56 mW from a 0.8 V supply. Measurement results show that the receiver has an overall noise figure of 7 dB, a −1 dBm input-referred IIP3, and 22 dB of image rejection. A stand-alone single-ended version of the LNA is also presented. Simple mechanisms for tuning the gain and the centre frequency of the LNA are proposed. With a supply voltage of 1 V, the LNA provides a power gain of 13.2 dB, has a noise figure of 2.5 dB, and over 10 dB of gain control and 360 MHz of frequency tuning. The LNA still operates well from a supply voltage as low as 0.7 V, providing a power gain of 7 dB.
Complementary role of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells and TGF-β in oral tolerance (2005)

CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells are thought to be generated in the periphery as well as in the thymus. We sought to determine the roles played by CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) in the induction and maintenance of tolerance generated by oral antigens in BALB/c mice. We found that oral administration of a high dose of ovalbumin (OVA) suppressed OVA-specific proliferation and antibody production in BALB/c mice depleted of CD25(+) cells. In contrast, the unresponsiveness induced by lower doses of OVA was only partially blocked by CD25 depletion prior to feeding. Depletion of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells after mice were orally tolerized did not reverse the tolerant status, indicating that these cells were not required to maintain the established tolerance. Furthermore, the induction of oral tolerance was not hampered by the administration of TGF-beta-neutralizing antibodies. However, in mice depleted of CD25(+) cells, anti-TGF-beta-neutralizing antibodies blocked the induction of tolerance, regardless of whether the mice followed the high- or low-dose regimens of oral OVA. CD25 depletion together with TGF-beta neutralization led the expansion of OVA-specific CD4 T cells against the subsequent antigen challenge, and each treatment alone did not. Our findings indicate that CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells and TGF-beta play a complementary role in the induction of oral tolerance, at least in part, by regulating the expansion of antigen-specific CD4 T cells.
Consistent phase picking for regional tomography models: application to the greater Alpine region (2008)

The resolution and reliability of tomographic velocity models strongly depends on quality and consistency of available traveltime data. Arrival times routinely picked by network analysts on a day-to-day basis often yield a high level of noise due to mispicks and other inconsistencies, particularly in error assessment. Furthermore, tomographic studies at regional scales require merging of phase picks from several networks. Since a common quality assessment is not usually available for phase data provided by different networks, additional inconsistencies are introduced by the merging process. Considerable improvement in the quality of phase data can only be achieved through complete repicking of seismograms. Considering the amount of data necessary for regional high-resolution tomography, algorithms combining accurate picking with an automated error assessment represent the best tool to derive large suitable data sets. In this work, we present procedures for consistent automated and routine picking of P-wave arrival times at local to regional scales including consistent picking error assessment. Quality-attributed automatic picks are derived from the MPX picking system. The application to earthquakes in the greater Alpine region demonstrates the potential of such a repicking approach. The final data set consists of more than 13 000 high-quality first-arrivals and it is used to derive regional 1-D and preliminary 3-D P-wave models of the greater Alpine region. The comparison with a tomographic model based on routine phase data extracted from the ISC Bulletin illustrates effects on tomographic results due to consistency and reliability of our high-quality data set.

An Improved Automatic MPI Code Generation Algorithm for Distributed Memory Machine (2006)

This paper presents an overview of our ongoing project KAP, which aims to build a message-passing parallelizing compiler for distributed-memory machines. In this paper, an improved automatic code generation algorithm is discussed. Our algorithm uses the data and computation decomposition, and the reading and writing access functions to create the communication code. We can not only solve the problems which the conventional algorithm can do but also can solve another kind of problem. In such cases: there is no data dependence and the read access is not aligned in the loop nest, or the exact data-flow analysis is not given because of the limitation of the algorithm of LWT, the conventional algorithm can not create communication code correctly while our improved algorithm can resolve this problem. Experiments prove that the novel algorithm can achieve satisfactory effect
ToolboX: Una estrategia transversal para la enseñanza de la programación en entornos educativos (2017)

Subestimar la importancia del aprendizaje de la programacion de ordenadores, en una sociedad que tiende a articularse en torno al software y la produccion robotizada, puede ser un error politico de consecuencias impredecibles, tanto para el desarrollo y la integracion de las personas, como para la competitividad cientifica e industrial. Las iniciativas para promover la programacion entre la poblacion infantil y juvenil son escasas y torpes, lastradas por una inexistente metodologia para estas edades, en lo que se refiere a estandares en herramientas didacticas y metodos de evaluacion. Es necesario, por tanto, explorar estrategias que eliminen las barreras de entrada y que integren la programacion en el ambito escolar y extraescolar. En este sentido se propone ToolboX, un entorno de desarrollo orientado al aprendizaje de un lenguaje de programacion cientifico (GNU Octave) que es abierto y cubre las necesidades academicas, desde la educacion primaria hasta el desarrollo profesional. Esta herramienta incluye problemas de programacion extraidos de las materias del curriculo docente, y puede utilizarse sin necesidad de mentorizacion, para facilitar su implantacion en centros educativos. Se describe la motivacion, estructura, funcionamiento e implementacion de esta herramienta, que viene a ocupar un particular nicho, aun vacio, en la ensenanza de la programacion.
P-controller based photovoltaic battery diesel (PVBD) hybrid system management and control (2002)

This paper presents a control strategy of photovoltaic-battery-diesel (PVBD) hybrid power system. The PVBD system configuration is introduced and the required control signals are estimated. The sampling rates of each control signal-PV array current signal, load current signal and battery state of charge (SOC) signal-are determined based on the operation behavior of power system components. The driving circuits of the PV array, the battery charger as well as diesel generator status (ON/OFF) and control (start/stop) are designed and implemented. The system modes of operation at different operating conditions during the daylight and night periods are defined and their operating conditions are determined. The control strategy flow chart is introduced and the controller management program is developed in assembly language format, wherever the controller is 8051 microcontroller based. The controller program is designed (proposed) based on the P-controls technique, where the Kp parameter is being auto-tuned factor to be relevant for weather parameters (mainly insolation) changes.
Visualisation of uncertainty using the HSI colour model : computations with colours (2003)

Paper describes two GIS methods for visualisation of uncertainty associated with spatial prediction of continuous and categorical variables. In the case of continuous variables, the key issue is to visualise both predictions and the prediction error at the same time, while in the case of categorical data, the key issue is to visualise multiple memberships and confusion in-between them. Both methods are based on the Hue-Saturation-Intensity (HSI) colour model and calculations with colours using the colour mixture (CM) concept. The HSI is a psychologically appealing colour model – hue is used to visualise values or taxonomic space and whiteness (paleness) is used to visualise the uncertainty. In the case of continuous variables, a two-dimensional legend was designed to accompany the visualisations – vertical axis (hues) is used to visualise the predicted values and horizontal axis (whiteness) is used to visualise the prediction error. In the case of categorical variables, a circular legend is used – perimeter (hues) defines the taxonomic space and radial distance represents the confusion. The methods are illustrated using two examples: (a) interpolation of soil thickness using regression-kriging and (b) fuzzy k-means classification of landforms classes.
Prognostic relevance of a novel proliferation marker, Ki-S11, for soft-tissue sarcoma. A multivariate study. (1997)

In 132 soft-tissue sarcomas and 52 benign soft-tissue tumors, cellular proliferation was examined by immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies Ki-S11 (Ki-67 antigen) and Ki-S1 (topoisomerase II alpha) and by flow cytometric analysis of the S-phase fraction (SPF). Malignant tumors were graded histologically according to the Fédération Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer (FNCLCC) system. Patient age, sex, tumor location, histological type, and DNA ploidy were considered as additional prognostic variables. Consistent immunoreactivity was seen in approximately 95% of the cases, and determination of SPF was possible in approximately 60% Ki-S11 and Ki-S1 immunolabeling indices correlated in a linear manner. All proliferation parameters yielded significant differences between benign and malignant tumors. Ki-S11 and Ki-S1 immunoreactive scores also co-varied significantly with SPF, mitotic count, and histopathological grade. In univariate analysis, immunohistochemical proliferation indices, histopathological grade, mitotic count, and SPF were predictive of overall survival and the development of metastases. In multivariate analysis, immunolabeling scores of proliferation markers, grade, and SPF emerged as independent predictors of global survival and systemic progression. We conclude that the immunohistochemical assessment of proliferation, being more readily performable and more easily assessable than the equally relevant S phase fraction, may add appreciable information to the current prognostic models for soft-tissue sarcoma.
Analysis and implementation of variable step size adaptive algorithms (1993)

Stochastic gradient adaptive filtering algorithms using variable step sizes are investigated. The variable-step-size algorithm improves the convergence rate while sacrificing little in steady-state error. Expressions describing the convergence of the mean and mean-squared values of the coefficients are developed and used to calculate the mean-square-error evolution. The initial convergence rate and the steady-state error are also investigated. The performance of the algorithm is studied when a power-of-two quantizer algorithm is used, and finite-word-length effects are considered. The analytical results are verified with simulations encompassing variable applications. Two CMOS implementations of the variable-step-size, power-of-two quantizer algorithm are presented to demonstrate that the performance gains are attainable with only a modest increase in circuit complexity.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Human leukocyte phagocytosis of zymosan particles measured by flow cytometry. (1983)

Human leukocyte phagocytosis of fluorescein-isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled zymosan particles was studied by a flow cytometric (FCM) assay allowing discrimination of adhered and ingested zymosan particles. Free zymosan particles, non-phagocytes and phagocytes could be discriminated and quantified by simultaneous registration of fluorescence and light scatter. All leukocytes capable of phagocytosis were phagocytosing, and within 15 min 80% of the zymosan particles were adhered or ingested. Compared to the FITC-fluorescence of free zymosan particles, the mean fluorescence of phagocyte-associated zymosan particles was reduced by about 35%, indicating ingestion and processing of zymosan particles. Abolishing the FITC-fluorescence of extracellular zymosan particles by crystal violet, the number of zymosan particles adhered and ingested could be calculated from FCM measurements of phagocyte fluorescence. This showed that in 15 min 83% of the phagocyte-associated zymosan particles were actually ingested.
