Saliva-Based Biosensors: Noninvasive Monitoring Tool for Clinical Diagnostics (2014)

Saliva is increasingly recognised as an attractive diagnostic fluid. The presence of various disease signalling salivary biomarkers that accurately reflect normal and disease states in humans and the sampling benefits compared to blood sampling are some of the reasons for this recognition. This explains the burgeoning research field in assay developments and technological advancements for the detection of various salivary biomarkers to improve clinical diagnosis, management, and treatment. This paper reviews the significance of salivary biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and therapeutic applications, with focus on the technologies and biosensing platforms that have been reported for screening these biomarkers.
Automated Data Import and Revision Management in a Product Lifecycle Management Environment (2009)

A method has been created that addresses the issues that prohibit the conversion of product artifacts into a secure, efficient and reliable Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) environment. These issues include automatic import of data into a PLM system and revision control of such data. A test case is shown which specifically addresses these issues as they pertain to the management of both legacy and new engineering data in a PLM system.

HgCdTe photovoltaic detectors on Si substrates (1987)

HgCdTe infrared photovoltaic detectors were fabricated on silicon substrates for the first time by using intermediate CdTe and GaAs epitaxial layers. No cracking or degradation was observed after thermal cycling these devices (cutoff wavelength of 5.5 μm and R0A as high as 200 Ω cm2 at 80 K). Secondary ion mass spectrometry and Auger data substantiate that a CdTe buffer layer can prevent Ga diffusion from the intermediate GaAs epitaxial layer from inadvertently converting the p-HgCdTe to n-type at growth temperatures as high as 500 °C.
Self-Consistent Results for a GaAs/Al<sub><i>x</i></sub>Ga<sub>1-<i>x</i></sub>As Heterojunciton. II. Low Temperature Mobility (1982)

The low temperature mobility is calculated in a two-dimensional system at a GaAs/Al x Ga 1- x As heterojunction. Scattering mechanisms are assumed to be the Coulomb scattering from ionized donors in the Al x Ga 1- x As layer, interface roughness, and scattering caused by alloy disorder present in the Al x Ga 1- x As layer. The calculated mobility for the Coulomb scattering explains recent experimental results. The interface roughness and the alloy scattering can play a role at high electron concentrations (∼10 12 cm -2 ).
How to encode semantic knowledge: a method for meaning representation and computer-aided acquisition (1991)

Natural language processing will not be able to compete with traditional information retrieval unless high-coverage techniques are developed. It is commonly agreed that a poor encoding of the semantic lexicon is the bottleneck of many existing systems. A hand encoding of semantic knowledge on an extensive basis is not realistic; hence, it is important to devise methods by which such knowledge can be acquired in part or entirely by a computer. But what type of semantic knowledge could be automatically learned, from which sources, and by what methods? This paper explores the above issues and proposes an algorithm to learn syncategorematic concepts from text exemplars. What is learned about a concept is not its defining features, such as kinship, but rather its patterns of use. The knowledge acquisition method is based on learning by observations; observations are examples of word co-occurrences (collocations) in a large corpus, detected by a morphosyntactic analyzer. A semantic bias is used to associate collocations with the appropriate meaning relation, if one exists. Based upon single or multiple examples, the acquired knowledge is then generalized to create semantic rules on concept uses. Interactive human intervention is required in the training phase, when the bias is defined
Intelligent cloud algorithms for load balancing problems: A survey (2015)

Cloud computing services are growing very fast especially with the high demand of mobile and online applications (Apps) and services. This exponential growth emphasis on the need of minimizing the makespan scheduling and utilizing the resources efficiently based on dynamic environment. Accordingly, many load balancing algorithms have been developed to overcome these issues using intelligent optimization methodologies, such as Genetic Algorithms (GA), Ant Colony optimization (ACO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). This paper surveys the above intelligent optimization techniques and focuses on the Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) intelligent technique, also it proposes an implementation of ALO based cloud computing environment as efficient algorithm that expected to supplies better outcomes in load balancing.
Oxidative Stress, Neuroinflammation, and NADPH Oxidase: Implications in the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (2021)

NADPH oxidase as an important source of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) has gained enormous importance over the years, and the detailed structures of all the isoenzymes of the NADPH oxidase family and their regulation have been well explored. The enzyme has been implicated in a variety of diseases including neurodegenerative diseases. The present brief review examines the body of evidence that links NADPH oxidase with the genesis and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In short, evidence suggests that microglial activation and inflammatory response in the AD brain is associated with increased production of ROS by microglial NADPH oxidase. Along with other inflammatory mediators, ROS take part in neuronal degeneration and enhance the microglial activation process. The review also evaluates the current state of NADPH oxidase inhibitors as potential disease-modifying agents for AD.
30 keV Ion Bombardment Apparatus for Study of Interaction of Light Ions with Surfaces (1966)

An ultrahigh vacuum system is described which was designed to study particles emitted from surfaces under bombardment by hydrogen ions. Stress has been laid on obtaining pressures ∼10−9 Torr in the presence of the ion beam. The beam is mass analyzed and its energy is variable from 5 to 30 keV. A maximum current of 300 μA over 0.1 cm2 is obtainable at the target, so that a beam/neutral gas bombardment ratio of better than 1000/1 can be achieved. A target mounting turntable is described which allows up to six targets to be bombarded in turn. A quadrupole mass filter is incorporated in the target chamber as a residual gas analyzer and as a means of identifying gas species resulting from the bombardment of surfaces.

On the Convergence of the Link-State Advertisement Protocol in SurvivableWDM Mesh Networks (2003)

Survivability in the dynamic IP over WDM network may be guaranteed by the Shared Path Protection (SPP) scheme implemented at the optical layer. The advantages of this scheme are fast recovery obtained at the lowest possible layer and efficient bandwidth utilization obtained by sharing spare resources.
The Kinetics of Ribonuclease Action on Cytidine-2′,3′-cyclic Phosphate (1961)

The enzyme ribonuclrase has been studied extensively from the structural point of view. The amino acid sequence has been completely worked out (1, 2) and information about the active center has recently btcome available (3, 4). However, very few studies of the kinetics of this enzyme have been made, and most of the previous kinetic work is difficult to interpret because ribonucleic acid was used as the substrate. The use of such a complicated substrate is not conducive to the interpretation of kinetic studies because many different reactions may be occurring simultaneously. In view of the current interest in ribonucleasc, it seemed desirable to investigate the kinetics with a small, well defined substrate molecule such as cytidine-2’,3’cyclic phosphate (5). Several workers hare used pyrimidine cyclic phosphates as substrates for kin&c studies. Davis and Allen, using both cytidine and uridine-2’) 3’-cyclic phosphates, found that ribonuclease was inhibited by mononucleotides, by Cu++ and, by Zn++ (6). Hummel, Flares, and Xrlson, with the use of cytidine-2’) 3’.cyclic phosphate, measured the Michaelis constant and maximal velocity at a single pH, 6.7 (7). Vithayathil and Richards used cytidine-2’) 3’-cyclic phosphate to make measurtmerits of Michaelis constants and maximal velocities of ribonuclease and subtilisin-modified ribonuclease (8). The present paper describes a study of the kinetics of ribonuclease hydrolysis of cytidine-2’) 3’.cyclic phosphate at four different pH values. The response of the Michaclis constant and maximal velocity to changes in pH is observed and interpreted in terms of ionization of the histidine residue in the active center.
Effect Of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate On The Release of Rifampicin From Guar Gum Matrix (2000)

The release of rifampicin from a matrix compressed from a physical mixture of rifampicin, guar gum and sodium lauryl sulfate was investigated. When sodium lauryl sulfate was incorporated in the matrix, the release of rifampicin was found to be linearly related to the square root of time, however, the release depended on the concentration of the sodium lauryl sulfate. As the concentration of sodium lauryl sulfate Increased upto 15%, the release progressively slowed to a minimum, which could be due to the formation of a poorly soluble complex. As the concentration increased further, the release increased as the complex was micellarly solubilized.

AutoCogniSys: IoT Assisted Context-Aware Automatic Cognitive Health Assessment (2020)

Cognitive impairment has become epidemic in older adult population. The recent advent of tiny wearable and ambient devices, a.k.a Internet of Things (IoT) provides ample platforms for continuous functional and cognitive health assessment of older adults. In this paper, we design, implement and evaluate AutoCogniSys, a context-aware automated cognitive health assessment system, combining the sensing powers of wearable physiological (Electrodermal Activity, Photoplethysmography) and physical (Accelerometer, Object) sensors in conjunction with ambient sensors. We design appropriate signal processing and machine learning techniques, and develop an automatic cognitive health assessment system in a natural older adults living environment. We validate our approaches using two datasets: (i) a naturalistic sensor data streams related to Activities of Daily Living and mental arousal of 22 older adults recruited in a retirement community center, individually living in their own apartments using a customized inexpensive IoT system (IRB #HP-00064387) and (ii) a publicly available dataset for emotion detection. The performance of AutoCogniSys attests max. 93% of accuracy in assessing cognitive health of older adults.
Energy Efficient Tag Estimation Method for ALOHA-Based RFID Systems (2014)

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has become an important tool for items identification and tracking. Its rapid deployment in dynamic industry areas enables variety of new applications in behavioral analysis and processes automation. In such systems it is crucial to identify all RFID tags before they leave the interrogation area. To accomplish fast identification, it is necessary to estimate a number of tags which are in the reader interrogation area. In this paper, we revisit the problem of tag quantity estimate and adapting frame size of dynamic frame slotted ALOHA widely used as RFID medium access control mechanism. The main disadvantage in the implementation of the state-of-the-art estimation algorithms includes the number of required computations, along with the temporary storage of large numbers which appear before estimation. As a consequence, such algorithms are energy inefficient and may require specific computer architecture to support the calculus. In order to address stated issues, we present improved linearized combinatorial model algorithm for optimal frame size selection which, due to linear property of the estimator, allows significant reduction in the estimate computation with acceptable tradeoff in accuracy. Simulations analyze the required number of slots to identify tag population and the floating point operation costs required to compute estimate. In addition, to emphasize the importance of reducing computational cost, we give a case study which compares energy consumed by the mobile RFID reader processor to compute the estimate and its energy equivalent of the required radio front-end energy to identify tags.
A Brief Natural History of Oil (2011)

Our fascination with oil is well-founded. Oil is now intertwined into our economy, our livelihood, and, increasingly, in our precarious energy future. The natural history of oil punctuates the earth’s natural history, dating back to an era not unlike our own — one of rising carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.
Cell Death Mechanisms in Stroke and Novel Molecular and Cellular Treatment Options (2018)

As a result of ischemia or hemorrhage, blood supply to neurons is disrupted which subsequently promotes a cascade of pathophysiological responses resulting in cell loss. Many mechanisms are involved solely or in combination in this disorder including excitotoxicity, mitochondrial death pathways, and the release of free radicals, protein misfolding, apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy and inflammation. Besides neuronal cell loss, damage to and loss of astrocytes as well as injury to white matter contributes also to cerebral injury. The core problem in stroke is the loss of neuronal cells which makes recovery difficult or even not possible in the late states. Acute treatment options that can be applied for stroke are mainly targeting re-establishment of blood flow and hence, their use is limited due to the effective time window of thrombolytic agents. However, if the acute time window is exceeded, neuronal loss starts due to the activation of cell death pathways. This review will explore the most updated cellular death mechanisms leading to neuronal loss in stroke. Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke as well as subarachnoid hemorrhage will be debated in the light of cell death mechanisms and possible novel molecular and cellular treatment options will be discussed.
A novel technique for measurement of energetic hydrogen flux to the walls in fusion devices (1978)

A carbon probe in the form of a small filament has been used in the shadow of the limiter in the DITE Tokamak to trap the flux of energetic hydrogen atoms and ions. The trapped particles are released after a discharge by withdrawing the probe into a separate vacuum system and heating the filament. The gas released is measured mass spectrometrically to obtain quantitative information on the incident flux. Some preliminary measurements of flux to the wall and as a function of radial position of the probe are described.
Vertical profile optimization for the Flight Management System CMA-9000 using the golden section search method (2012)

The current Flight Management System (FMS), CMA-9000, from CMC Electronics - Esterline, only optimizes the vertical flight profile in terms of aircraft speeds. This article defines a methodology that optimizes the vertical flight profile in terms of speeds and altitudes, obtaining a trajectory that reduces the global flight cost.
Online variational Bayesian Support Vector Regression (2016)

Traditional Support Vector Regression (SVR) solvers require user pre-specified penalty (regularization) parameter as input and typically model the training data with maximum a posterior (MAP) principle. The resultant point estimates can be affected seriously by inappropriate regularization, outliers and noise, especially when training online. In this paper, we address the aforementioned problems by developing a Bayesian SVR model with the pseudo-likelihood and data augmentation idea. Then we perform variational posterior inference in an augmented variable space and the approximate posterior of model weights, rather than point estimates as in traditional SVR, are used to make robust predictions. Besides, once the approximate posterior is obtained from a given set of data, we can regard it as model prior when dealing with new arrival data, which leads to a natural way to extend our batch model to the online scenario. Experiments on several benchmark regression problems as well as a real vehicle accident rate prediction task show that our models have superior performance while inferring penalty parameter automatically.
Powered Instrumentation in the Treatment of Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (2002)

The microdebrider proved to be less time-consuming than the carbon dioxide laser when used in patients with juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Soft tissue complications were nonexistent. In addition to safety, the microdebrider is more appealing to the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and parents, especially because these children often need subsequent surgical procedures.

Dietary Multispecies Probiotic Supplementation Enhances the Immunohematological Responses and Reduces Mortality by <i>Aeromonas hydrophila</i> in <i>Labeo rohita</i> Fingerlings (2014)

Abstract A study was conducted to determine the immunomodulatory effect of probiotic mixture on the nonspecific immune response and disease resistance of Labeo rohita . Fish were fed with six different test diets with or without probiotics, namely, T1 (basal feed [ BF ] without probiotics), T2 ( BF + Bacillus subtilis [ BS ] + Lactococcus lactis [ LL ]), T3 ( BF + LL + Saccharomyces cerevisiae [ SC ]), T4 ( BF + BS + SC ), T5 ( BF + BS + LL + SC ), and T6 ( BF + heat‐killed bacteria of BS + LL + SC ). During the prechallenge period, significantly higher ( P < 0.01) nitroblue tetrazolium assay ( NBT ), red blood cells ( RBC ), hemoglobin (Hb), globulin, and albumin content were recorded in the probiotic‐supplemented diet group. Feeding all the three probiotics significantly decreased ( P < 0.01) the serum aspartate aminotransferases ( AST ), alanine aminotransferases ( ALT ), acid phosphatase ( ACP ), and alkaline phosphatase ( ALP ) activity and increased the myeloperoxidase ( MPO ) and immunoglobulin M ( IgM ) value. Significant difference in the NBT , Hb, serum albumin, and MPO was noticed in both prechallenged and postchallenged fish. Lowest survivability was recorded in the nonprobiotic fed group, followed by the group fed with heat‐killed probiotics, whereas the highest survivability was noticed in the group fed with all the three probiotics in live form. Thus, a probiotic mixture diet constituting of three probiotics in viable form is found to be optimum to enhance the immunity and postinfection survivability in L. rohita fingerlings.
A Testbed For the Evaluation of Multi-Agent Communication and Problem-Solving Strategies (1997)

We present here a distributed problem-solving testbed, which we use for experimental analysis of the relationships among distributed problem structure, inter-agent communication and coordination strategies, and problem-solving performance. Distributed problems in our system are represented as distributed CSPs. The testbed consists of two parameterized components: (1) a problem generator, for the creation of distributed CSPs in specific classes with respect to distributed problem structure, and (2) a multi-agent problem solver, capable of employing various communication, coordination and local problem-solving strategies. We are beginning to use this system to evaluate hypotheses about the performance of different strategies for communication of partial subproblem results as a function of distributed problem structure. Introduction Previous empirical work in distributed artificial intelligence has shown that in multi-agent systems, the timing of sub-problem sharing and the use of share...
Effect of hydroxyethyl starch on the structure of thrombin- and reptilase-induced fibrin gels. (1986)

The effect of hydroxyethyl starch (HES), a complex polysaccharide colloid plasma expander, on the structure of fibrin gels was studied turbidimetrically. HES at concentrations as low as 2.5 mg/ml shortened the lag phase of turbidity increase and caused increased fibrin fiber mass/length ratios in both purified fibrin and plasma systems. For purified fibrin gels clotted with thrombin the mass/length ratio increased in a linear fashion from 2.6 to 6.1 X 10(12) daltons/cm as HES increased from 0 to 15 mg/ml. Fiber mass/length ratios for purified fibrin gels clotted with reptilase increased from 1.1 to 6.4 X 10(12) daltons/cm over the same HES concentration range. The addition of 5 mmol/L calcium to either system produced additional increases in fiber size. In 1:10 dilutions of plasma, HES shortened the lag phase, enhanced the rate of turbidity increase, and increased the final gel turbidity. The fiber mass/length ratio for plasma gels clotted with thrombin increased from 0.3 to 1.7 X 10(12) daltons/cm as HES increased from 0 to 20 mg/ml. For plasma gels clotted with reptilase, the fiber mass/length ratio increased from 1.5 to 2.4 X 10(12) daltons/cm over the same HES concentration range. The effects of HES are comparable to those of dextran at concentrations less than 5 mg/ml and can be explained on the basis of HES-enhanced lateral association of fibrin fibers during polymerization.
EAG and behavioral responses of Helicoverpa armigera males to volatiles from poplar leaves and their combinations with sex pheromone (2004)

Electroantennogram (EAG) evaluation of selected compounds from wilted leaves of black poplar, Populus nigra, showed that phenyl acetaldehyde, methyl salicylate, (E)-2-hexenal elicited strong responses from male antennae of Helicoverpa armigera. When mixed with sex pheromone (Ph), some volatiles, e.g. phenyl acetaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, phenylethanol, methylsalicylate, linalool, benzaldehyde, (Z)-3-hexenol, (Z)-3-hexenylacetate, (Z)-6-nonenol, cineole, (E)-2-hexenal, and geraniol elicited stronger responses from male antennae than Ph alone. Wind tunnel bioassay demonstrated that various volatiles could either enhance or inhibit the effect of synthetic sex pheromone. (E)-2-hexenal, (Z)-3-hexenol and linalool in combination with Ph could not induce any male to land on source at all, whereas phenyl acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, (Z)-6-nonenol and salicylaldehyde combined with Ph enhanced male response rates by 58.63%, 50.33%, 51.85% and 127.78%, respectively, compared to Ph alone. These results suggested that some volatiles should modify sex pheromone caused behavior and that some of them could possibly be used as a tool for disrupting mating or for enhancing the effect of synthetic sex pheromone in the field.
