RECONSTRUCTION OF BUILDING OUTLINES IN DENSE URBAN AREAS BASED ON LIDAR DATA AND ADDRESS POINTS (2012)

Abstract. The paper presents a comprehensive method for automated extraction and delineation of building outlines in densely built-up areas. A novel approach to outline reconstruction is the use of geocoded building address points. They give information about building location thus highly reduce task complexity. Reconstruction process is executed on 3D point clouds acquired by airborne laser scanner. The method consists of three steps: building detection, delineation and contours refinement. The algorithm is tested against a data set that presents the old market town and its surroundings. The results are discussed and evaluated by comparison to reference cadastral data.
Fuzzy homogeneity approach to multilevel thresholding (1998)

The spatial ambiguity among pixels has inherent vagueness rather than randomness, therefore, the conventional methods might not work well. We propose fuzzy homogeneity vectors to handle the greyness and spatial uncertainties among pixels, and to perform multilevel thresholding. The experimental results prove that the proposed approach works better than the histogram-based algorithms.

Screening for Asymptomatic Celiac Sprue in Families (1995)

We evaluated the reliability of IgA and IgG antigliadin antibodies (AGA-A, AGA-G), antireticulin antibody (ARA), endomysial antibodies (EmA), and alpha 1-antitrypsin clearance (alpha 1-AT CL) in the detection of celiac sprue (CS) in 59 first-degree asymptomatic relatives of celiac patients who had duodenal biopsy. Twenty-four relatives who had normal results of screening tests were selected at random for biopsy; 35 relatives with at least one abnormal test result were biopsied. Eleven relatives were noted to have villous atrophy at biopsy; the diagnosis of celiac sprue was confirmed by histological improvement after gluten-free diet in six. AGA-G, alpha 1-AT CL, and EmA had sensitivities of 73%, 73%, and 64%, respectively, with very high levels of specificity. Sensitivity was improved by the combination of two serological markers (AGA-G + alpha 1-AT CL = 91%; AGA-G + EmA = 82%; EmA + ARA = 82%). Furthermore, combination of EmA and ARA has shown the best specificity and positive predictive value. AGA-G, alpha 1-AT CL, and EmA are reliable individual markers for the detection of asymptomatic celiac sprue. However, a combination of two of them, including ARA, was more sensitive than the individual tests.

Bidirectional spreadsheet formulas (2014)

Bidirectional transformations have potential applications in a vast number of computer science domains. Spread-sheets, on the other hand, are widely used for developing business applications, but their formulas are unidirectional, in the sense that their result can not be edited and propagated back to their input cells. In this paper, we interpret such formulas as a well-known class of bidirectional transformations that go by the name of lenses. Being aimed at users that are not proficient with programming languages, we devote particular attention to the seamless embedding of the proposed bidirectional mechanism with the typical workflow of spreadsheet environments, allowing users to have a fine control and understanding of the behavior of the derived backward transformations.
The viscosity balance method of skin friction measurement: further developments including applications to three-dimensional flow (1976)

The application of oil film interferometry to the measurement of skin friction in air flow was described in an earlier paper by Tanner and Blows (see ibid., vol.9, no.4, p.194 (1976)). This work is extended in various ways. These include use of oil droplets as an alternative or in addition to continuous films, particularly for exploration of three-dimensional flows. The use of accidentally or deliberately introduced disturbances as streamline markers is described. The use of the characteristics method to follow transient changes of oil film profile is demonstrated. Many checks on the consistency of the methods and comparisons with theory are given. The results suggest that the methods can give a wealth of information concerning surface flows which would otherwise be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve.

Movement of <sup>14</sup>C-Labeled Assimilates into Kernels of <i>Zea mays</i> L (1972)

Carbon-14, photosynthetically fixed in leaves of Zea mays L. and translocated to developing kernels, passed through specialized basal endosperm cells prior to movement into the starchy endosperm and embryo. Radioactivity migrated in the endosperm at a maximum rate of 2.7 millimeters per hour, and there was no difference in the rate of movement in kernels treated 14 to 30 days after pollination.Sucrose contained over three-fourths of the radioactivity in the kernal base (fruit stalk) 1 to 6 hours after (14)CO(2) treatment of the plant. Conversely, in the basal endosperm three-fourths of the radioactivity was in glucose and fructose. A high proportion of the radioactivity was retained in the monosaccharides of the starchy endosperm the first 3 hours after the (14)CO(2) treatment. With additional time after treatment there was a decline in the percentage of radioactivity in the monosaccharides and an increase in sucrose-(14)C. From these data we suggest that translocated sucrose is cleaved to glucose and fructose during entry into the endosperm and that the monosaccharides diffuse throughout the endosperm. Once the sugars arrive in the cells active in starch synthesis, they are rapidly converted to sucrose which in turn is utilized in the synthesis of starch.
Two point calibration of the lineariser for a hot-wire anemometer (1980)

An improved method is proposed for determining the lineariser constants for a constant-temperature hot-wire anemometer. With a slightly modified lineariser circuit, a simple procedure composed of reading voltage twice at two different wind speeds and adjusting a voltage control once for all completes the essential part of the calibration, based on a power law locally applied for an interval of the wind speed. The lineariser is set to give exact output at the two wind speeds, regardless of the heat transfer at zero wind speed.
EM Algorithm for Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci in Multivalent Tetraploids (2010)

Multivalent tetraploids that include many plant species, such as potato, sugarcane, and rose, are of paramount importance to agricultural production and biological research. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping in multivalent tetraploids is challenged by their unique cytogenetic properties, such as double reduction. We develop a statistical method for mapping multivalent tetraploid QTLs by considering these cytogenetic properties. This method is built in the mixture model-based framework and implemented with the EM algorithm. The method allows the simultaneous estimation of QTL positions, QTL effects, the chromosomal pairing factor, and the degree of double reduction as well as the assessment of the estimation precision of these parameters. We used simulated data to examine the statistical properties of the method and validate its utilization. The new method and its software will provide a useful tool for QTL mapping in multivalent tetraploids that undergo double reduction.
Solving personnel tour scheduling problems using the dual all-integer cutting plane (1998)

ABSTRACT Personnel tour scheduling problems are highly relevant to service organizations and have recently received considerable attention in both theory and practice. The inherent complexity of generalized set-covering formulations (GSCFs) of personnel tour scheduling problems has often resulted in the deployment of LP-based and local-search heuristic procedures, even for relatively small problems. This paper evaluates the performance of the dual all-integer cutting plane for solving such problems. A computational study revealed that the cutting plane, enhanced by an LP objective cut and sophisticated source row selection rule, substantially outperformed a commercial branch and bound code across four sets of test problems. The study also showed that an advanced starting solution based on the LP relaxation of the GSCF generally provided more rapid convergence of the algorithm.

Calculating Seismic Attributes Within a Reservoir Flow Simulator (2007)

Abstract This paper describes the implementation of a petroelastic model (PEM) based on Gassmann's equation to calculate seismic attributes into a commercial reservoir flow simulator. This implementation is the first step of a project to integrate time-lapse (4D) seismic attributes into an assisted history matching tool developed in a previous project. The paper includes the description of the PEM and some implementation issues, such as the coupling of the model with the flow simulator with the purpose of using its basic calculated properties, discuss some user options (such as properties input through correlation or geoestatisticaly obtained maps) and the model variants and extensions (such as lithology influence and pressure effects). Three applications of this petroelastic model are shown: the first is a synthetic model based on outcrop data; the second is a 4D feasibility study for water injection monitoring in an offshore field; and the last one is a comparison between observed and calculated pressure impedances for an offshore field. The resulting tool is applicable, for example, in 4D seismic feasibility studies, in seismic modeling for comparison with observed surveys and makes possible further implementations for incorporating the seismic data in assisted history matching.
The promising perspective of concentrating solar power (CSP) (2005)

Concentrating solar power is the technology that is applied in a solar thermal power station. Solar radiation is concentrated on the boiler of a conventional power station. A review is given on the six concentration methods. Following a stagnation period of 15 years several new CSP projects have been announced. The direct normal irradiation (DNI) and the yield of CSP-stations are calculated for cloudless days in Southern Morocco and Northern Australia. A baseload CSP plant of 1 GWe requires 34 km/sup 2/ of mirrors. A portion of these mirrors can be operated by independent solar farmers. Storage of solar heat enables solar electricity production at night. In the future hydrogen and chemical energy storing materials like zinc metal will be produced using concentrated solar heat. CSP is already competitive in sunny countries currently using oil generated electricity. In the future the investment costs of CSP will be 3600 $/kW/sub e/, making CSP electricity about just as expensive as nuclear electricity.
Participación y hábitat: ¿sueño posible o relación no deseada? (2005)

This paper deals with the relationships that are held in urban areas called: habitat popular de periferia (something similar to Low Income and Periphery Settlements, although part or the paper is to discuss this name), between the communities and their urban environment; studying how these relations change and improve the quality of life in those areas. These areas in cities such as Bogota are very big and are permanently growing up, there are areas with huge shortfalls in economical and social terms, the same as in public services and infrastructure. These areas have been growing in spite of the city itself, not taking into consideration any urban or economic policy or plan; instead of there have been growing only by means of the initiatives and possibilities of the own dwellers of these areas. The people themselves have built and improved their habitat, have built and shared their dreams and ideas about the future, have built a community vision not always explicit but always there, have used formal and informal participation channels to achieve their goals. This paper will discuss some issues that arise from studying the topic in periphery urban areas of Bogota, ideas that invite to think more seriously and deeply the role of people as the leading actor in building, upgrading and expressing their own urban environment. Finally, there will be some comments on the question that motivated the paper: is the community participation in low income and periphery settlements a possible dream or is it something just not suitable or appropriate?
Analysing semiconductor manufacturing big data for root cause detection of excursion for yield enhancement (2015)

With the shrinking feature size of integrated circuits driven by continuous technology migrations for wafer fabrication, the control of tightening critical dimensions is critical for yield enhancement, while physical failure analysis is increasingly difficult. In particular, the yield ramp up stage for implementing new technology node involves new production processes, unstable machine configurations, big data with multiple co-linearity and high dimensionality that can hardly rely on previous experience for detecting root causes. This research aims to propose a novel data-driven approach for Analysing semiconductor manufacturing big data for low yield (namely, excursions) diagnosis to detect process root causes for yield enhancement. The proposed approach has shown practical viability to efficiently detect possible root causes of excursion to reduce the trouble shooting time and improve the production yield effectively.
Solar thermochemical splitting of water to generate hydrogen (2017)

Solar photochemical means of splitting water (artificial photosynthesis) to generate hydrogen is emerging as a viable process. The solar thermochemical route also promises to be an attractive means of achieving this objective. In this paper we present different types of thermochemical cycles that one can use for the purpose. These include the low-temperature multistep process as well as the high-temperature two-step process. It is noteworthy that the multistep process based on the Mn(II)/Mn(III) oxide system can be carried out at 700 °C or 750 °C. The two-step process has been achieved at 1,300 °C/900 °C by using yttrium-based rare earth manganites. It seems possible to render this high-temperature process as an isothermal process. Thermodynamics and kinetics of H<sub>2</sub>O splitting are largely controlled by the inherent redox properties of the materials. Interestingly, under the conditions of H<sub>2</sub>O splitting in the high-temperature process CO<sub>2</sub> can also be decomposed to CO, providing a feasible method for generating the industrially important syngas (CO+H<sub>2</sub>). Although carbonate formation can be addressed as a hurdle during CO<sub>2</sub> splitting, the problem can be avoided by a suitable choice of experimental conditions. The choice of the solar reactor holds the key for the commercialization of thermochemical fuel production.
Coupling of nuclear wavepacket motion and charge separation in bacterial reaction centers (2003)

The mechanism of the charge separation and stabilization of separated charges was studied using the femtosecond absorption spectroscopy. It was found that nuclear wavepacket motions on potential energy surface of the excited state of the primary electron donor P* leads to a coherent formation of the charge separated states P(+)B(A)(-), P(+)H(A)(-) and P(+)H(B)(-) (where B(A), H(B) and H(A) are the primary and secondary electron acceptors, respectively) in native, pheophytin-modified and mutant reaction centers (RCs) of Rhodobacter sphaeroides R-26 and in Chloroflexus aurantiacus RCs. The processes were studied by measurements of coherent oscillations in kinetics at 890 and 935 nm (the stimulated emission bands of P*), at 800 nm (the absorption band of B(A)) and at 1020 nm (the absorption band of B(A)(-)) as well as at 760 nm (the absorption band of H(A)) and at 750 nm (the absorption band of H(B)). It was found that wavepacket motion on the 130-150 cm(-1) potential surface of P* is accompanied by approaches to the intercrossing region between P* and P(+)B(A)(-) surfaces at 120 and 380 fs delays emitting light at 935 nm (P*) and absorbing light at 1020 nm (P(+)B(A)(-)). In the presence of Tyr M210 (Rb. sphaeroides) or M195 (C. aurantiacus) the stabilization of P(+)B(A)(-) is observed within a few picosseconds in contrast to YM210W. At even earlier delay (approximately 40 fs) the emission at 895 nm and bleaching at 748 nm are observed in C. aurantiacus RCs showing the wavepacket approach to the intercrossing between the P* and P(+)H(B)(-) surfaces at that time. The 32 cm(-1) rotation mode of HOH was found to modulate the electron transfer rate probably due to including of this molecule in polar chain connecting P(B) and B(A) and participating in the charge separation. The mechanism of the charge separation and stabilization of separated charges is discussed in terms of the role of nuclear motions, of polar groups connecting P and acceptors and of proton of OH group of TyrM210.
A new variation of the Pschorr synthesis (1969)

A new variation of the Pschorr phenanthrene synthesis giving improved yields is described. In addition, the ester of the newly prepared by-product of this reaction, 2-iodo-4,5-dimethoxy-a-phenylcinnamic acid, cyclizes to the corresponding phenanthrene-9-carboxylic acid derivative on irradiation with ultraviolet light.
Evolution of Singlet Oxygen by Activating Peroxydisulfate and Peroxymonosulfate: A Review (2021)

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on peroxydisulfate (PDS) or peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation have attracted much research attention in the last decade for the degradation of recalcitrant organic contaminants. Sulfate (SO<sub>4</sub><sup>•-</sup>) and hydroxyl (<sup>•</sup>OH) radicals are most frequently generated from catalytic PDS/PMS decomposition by thermal, base, irradiation, transition metals and carbon materials. In addition, increasingly more recent studies have reported the involvement of singlet oxygen (<sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub>) during PDS/PMS-based AOPs. Typically, <sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub> can be produced either along with SO<sub>4</sub><sup>•-</sup> and <sup>•</sup>OH or discovered as the dominant reactive oxygen species (ROSs) for pollutants degradation. This paper reviews recent advances in <sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub> generation during PDS/PMS activation. First, it introduces the basic chemistry of <sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub>, its oxidation properties and detection methodologies. Furthermore, it elaborates different activation strategies/techniques, including homogeneous and heterogeneous systems, and discusses the possible reaction mechanisms to give an overview of the principle of <sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub> production by activating PDS/PMS. Moreover, although <sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub> has shown promising features such as high degradation selectivity and anti-interference capability, its production pathways and mechanisms remain controversial in the present literatures. Therefore, this study identifies the research gaps and proposes future perspectives in the aspects of novel catalysts and related mechanisms.
Dog and cat allergens: urinary proteins or dander proteins? (1980)

Allergens prepared from male dog and cat urines can be used for RAST diagnosis of dog and cat allergy. Only one out of 15 patients positive to epithelia or danders was negative to the urine. The urine antigens appear to be more specific than either epithelia or danders.
Schiller's Aesthetic Education (1968)

A journal that chooses as its programmatic name Aesthetic Education cannot fail to suggest a reappraisal of the works that helped to shape and formulate this concept. In the Journal's second issue, it is stated that the term may perhaps be traced to Friedrich Schiller's Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man, written in 1793. To delineate a concept that is definitely rooted in the Greek world of Paideia is hazardous. Yet it is appropriate to ask what Aesthetic Education meant to one who used the term so boldly and who made his own aesthetic achievement a means of advancing his educational ideals. All such questioning implies a conviction that the work under consideration will also speak to us today and enrich and widen our own aesthetic education.
