Hand Motion Recognition from Single Channel Surface EMG Using Wavelet & Artificial Neural Network (2015)

The strength of the muscle contraction can be easily measured by the muscle activity extracted at the skin surface. Analysis of surface Electromyogram (sEMG) is one of the standard procedures to identify posture, gesture and actions (i.e. control of prosthe- sis via learnt body actions). sEMG signals are usually complex in nature. It can be easily classified into differentiated muscular activities with appropriate signal processing tools. In order to analyze its complexity, various studies have been carried out but have proved unsuccessful, due to huge differences in muscular activities of some muscles over the other. This paper presents a new technique to identify low level hand movement by classifying the single channel sEMG. Single channel sEMG analysis is preferred over multi-channel due to its simplicity, computational cost and efficiency. Wavelet transformation and artificial neural network (ANN) classifier are utilized to classify and analyze the sEMG signal in a better way.
Life Cycle Management for Programmable Machine Control Platform (2013)

This Thesis develops methods for managing software and hardware during the life cycle of a programmable machine control platform. Life cycle management is important because of the long life cycle of this platform. Software reproducibility, management of software products, version controlling, test automation, continuous integration, and configurability of software are considered. These issues are implemented by processes for software configuration management, application life cycle management, and product life cycle management. The processes are described within the contexts of a programmable machine control platform in this Thesis.\nThe core of this work is embedded software framework, which creates the software architecture for the platform. A previously used embedded software framework was not suitable for controlling multiple software products and it only supported few hardware platforms. In addition, the lack of community and enterprise support and the framework’s poor usability were major disadvantages. Therefore, a new embedded software framework was deployed in this Thesis. Open-source and commercial options for an embedded software framework were compared and the Yocto Project was chosen. It was the best option meeting the requirements on programmable machine control platform. Based on it, new methods were studied and specified for managing software configurations and versions, reproducibility, version controlling, and application creation.\nA new layer for the Yocto Project was also created in this Thesis. The new layer simplifies software and hardware modifications significantly. The layer consists of 76 files, including over 3000 lines of code and configuration information. In addition, a new server for continuous integration and test automation was deployed. It took a total of 180 working hours to create the layer and deploy the additional tools. Measurements were gathered to estimate the workload for different tasks. Furthermore, a number of metrics were created to provide a simple way to estimate the effectiveness of the tools and the processes.
The perception of gloss depends on highlight congruence with surface shading (2011)

Studies have shown that displacing specular highlights from their natural locations in images reduces perceived surface gloss. Here, we assessed the extent to which perceived gloss depends on congruence in the position and orientation of specular highlights relative to surface shape and the diffuse shading from which surface shape is recovered. The position and orientation congruence of specular highlights with diffuse shading was altered while preserving their compatibility with physical surface shape (Experiment 1). We found that perceived gloss diminished as the position of highlights became incompatible wit h the surface's global diffuse shading maxima. In a subsequent experiment, we constrained highlight proximity near the global luminance maxima in diffuse shading. When we disrupted the consistency in the local position and orientation of specular highlights with respect to the diffuse shading and local surface meso-structure, a decline in perceived gloss was still observed (Experiment 2). This decline in perceived gloss caused by misaligning the positions and orientations of specular highlights relative to diffuse surface shading could not be explained by differences in orientation fields alone (Experiments 3 and 4). These results suggest the visual system assesses both position and orientation congruence between specular highlights and diffuse shading to estimate surface gloss.
Continuous levodopa infusions to treat complex dystonia in Parkinson's disease (1989)

We report the clinical spectrum of 3 patients with Parkinson's disease who experienced complex patterns of levodopa-related dystonia. Dystonia was unrelieved by multiple medication regimens but responded well to continuous, duodenal levodopa infusions. Patients were able to remain mobile without severe dystonia despite a very narrow window of benefit between the levodopa concentration necessary to achieve the "on" state and that which caused the onset of dystonic spasms.

GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes as possible heritable factors of rosacea (2006)

We demonstrated a significant association between the GSTT1 and/or GSTM1 null genotypes and rosacea. However, the potential role of GSTs as markers of susceptibility to rosacea needs further studies in larger patient groups.
Adaptive neural network predictive control based on PSO algorithm (2009)

A neural network-based model predictive control scheme is proposed for nonlinear systems. In this scheme an adaptive diagonal recurrent neural network (DRNN) is used for modeling of nonlinear processes. A recursive estimation algorithm using the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is proposed to calculate Jacobian matrix in the model adaptation so that the algorithm is simple and converges fast. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is adopted to obtain optimal future control inputs over a prediction horizon, which overcomes effectively the shortcoming of descent-based nonlinear programming method on the initial condition sensitivity. A case study of biochemical fermentation process shows that the performance of the proposed control scheme is better than that of PI controller.
Employee attitude surveys in the medical group practice. (1987)

Employee attitude surveys offer the potential for augmenting a progressive, participatory approach to management of medical groups. They can be used in many ways to understand and improve the environment within an organization. Upward communication, downward communication, morale boosting, education, management motivation--in these and many other areas, an effective survey can lead to positive results. The mechanics of organizing and administering a medical group employee attitude survey are presented here in seven clear steps.
Open Information Extraction for SOV Language Based on Entity-Predicate Pair Detection (2012)

Open IE usually has been studied for English which of one of subject-verb-object(SVO) languages where a relation between two entities tends to occur in order of entity-relational phrase-entity within a sentence. However, in SOV languages, two entities occur before the relational phrase so that the subject and the relation have a long distance. The conventional methods for Open IE mostly dealing with SVO languages have difficulties of extracting relations from SOV style sentences. In this paper, we propose a new method of extracting relations from SOV languages. Our approach tries to solve long distance problems by identifying an entity-predicate pair and recognizing a relation within a predicate. Furthermore, we propose a post-processing approach using a language model, so that the system can detect more fluent and precise relations. Experimental results on Korean corpus show that the proposed approach is effective in improving the performance of relation extraction.
CoCache: Multi-layer Multi-path Cooperative Cache Accelerating the Deployment of Large Scale Virtual Machines (2014)

By analyzing the problems and challenges of virtual machine image store system in cloud computing environment, we present a cooperative persistent cache (CoCache) for virtual disks. CoCache takes advantage of the service ability of the cached nodes by providing virtual image data service for other nodes. CoCache can transfer data between nodes in a P2P pattern, for extending data service ability of the system. CoCache is realized in the kernel space of Linux, can support any kind of VMM. Experiments show that CoCache can effectively reduce the cost during virtual machines read data, and promote the service ability of virtual machine storage system. Layer-aware cache policy is proposed specially for improving cache hit rate in the multi-layer and multipath environment.
Construction of improved plasmid vectors for promoter characterization in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram-negative bacteria (1998)

We report the construction of two broad host range promoter-probe plasmid vectors for rapid analysis of promoters in Gram-negative bacteria. The new vectors, pME4507 and pME4510, carry carbenicillin and gentamycin resistance genes, respectively, and are small sized (4 kb) with a flexible multiple cloning site to facilitate directional cloning of putative promoter elements. The vectors allow rapid plate-based screening for promoter activities, using β-galactosidase as the reporter enzyme. In the absence of an inserted promoter fragment, they display very low background activity, making them a useful tool for analysis of low expression level promoters.

Embedding complete binary trees into butterfly networks (1991)

The authors present embeddings of complete binary trees into butterfly networks with or without wrap-around connections. Let m be an even integer and q=m+(log m)-1. The authors show how to embed a 2/sup q+1/-1-node complete binary tree T(q) into a (m+1)2/sup m+1/-node wrap-around butterfly B/sub w/(m+1) with a dilation of 4, and how to embed T(q) into a (m+2)2/sup m+2/-node wrap-around butterfly B/sub w/(m+2) with an optimal dilation of 2. They also present an embedding of a wrap-around butterfly B/sub w/(m) into a (m+1)2/sup m/-node no-wrap-around butterfly B(m) with a dilation of 3. Using this embedding it is shown that T(q) can be embedded into a no-wrap butterfly B(m+1) (resp. B(m+2)) with a dilation of 8 (resp. 5).< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Los Biocomustibles. El Estado de la cuestión (2009)

Los biocombustibles han experimentado una fuerte expansion gracias a los incentivos otorgados por los poderes publicos y a algunas ventajas como la capacidad para reducir la dependencia energetica exterior, la mayor creacion de empleos, especialmente en zonas rurales, o el menor impacto ambiental en comparacion con los combustibles fosiles. No obstante, los biocombustibles se han puesto recientemente en entredicho debido a la situacion de los mercados energeticos y a algunos estudios que han matizado sus posibles ventajas y desventajas. En este trabajo se trata de presentar una sintesis de las principales cuestiones suscitadas en torno a los biocombustibles. En primer lugar, se presenta una perspectiva historica y de la situacion actual del empleo de la biomasa y los biocombustibles en el mundo y en Espana. A continuacion, se enumeran los principales argumentos a favor de los biocombustibles, se repasan las principales politicas de promocion que se han venido aplicando en distintos paises y, por ultimo, se presenta una discusion de los aspectos mas controvertidos de los biocombustibles.
Feasibility of transdermal ethanol sensing for the detection of intoxicated drivers. (2007)

Transdermal ethanol detection is a promising method that could prevent drunk driving if integrated into an ignition interlock system. However, experimental data from previous research has shown significant time delays between alcohol ingestion and detection at the skin which makes real time estimation of blood alcohol concentration via skin measurement difficult. Using a validated model we studied the effects that body weight, metabolic rate and ethanol dose had on the time lag between the blood alcohol concentration and transdermal alcohol concentration. The dose of alcohol ingested was found to have the most significant effect on the skin alcohol lag time; a dose of 15 ml of ethanol resulted in a peak lag time of approximately 33 minutes, while a dose of 60 ml of ethanol resulted in a peak time lag of 53 minutes. The time lag was found to be insensitive to body mass and only moderately sensitive to changes in metabolic rates.
Electromyography of the diaphragm in man and transdiaphragmatic pressure (1960)

The electrical activity of the vertebral part of the diaphragm in man has been studied in physiological conditions through an esophageal bipolar lead; the spirogram and/or the intrathoracic and gastric pressure were simultaneously recorded. Electrical activity has been found during inspiration; it is approximately related to the transdiaphragmatic pressure as the activity found during graded inspiratory efforts at relaxation volume. At minimum lung volume the electrical activity during maximum inspiratory efforts is small notwithstanding the high transdiaphragmatic pressure. Electrical activity may persist at the beginning of expiration, showing that the diaphragm does not relax completely at the onset of expiration. At the end of maximum expiration a small electrical activity may appear, the transdiaphragmatic pressure is high and it is not clear to what extent the diaphragm is passively distended or contracted. At relaxation volume during expiratory efforts electrical activity appears only when the effort is high, while during expulsive efforts, even moderate, the activity is marked.

Effect of an Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein Fusion Protein on Thymidine Incorporation in Neuroblastoma and Rhabdomyosarcoma Cell Lines (2004)

A fusion protein, FP 6/3, composed of IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-6 and IGFBP-3 was synthesized where the complete sequences of each binding protein were fused together into a single chimeric protein. The orientation of this fusion protein's structure has the N terminus of IGFBP-3 fused to the C terminus of IGFBP-6, leaving the key binding areas of each open. FP 6/3 bound to cells via its IGFBP-3 component and retained the increased affinity for IGF-II via its IGFBP-6 component. The effect of FP 6/3 on growth was determined in cell lines from both neuroblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, where IGF-II is an autocrine growth factor. In studies using FP 6/3, IGFBP-3, or IGFBP-6, a growth inhibition effect was shown for all when present under coincubation conditions with IGF-II. However, with transient exposure, FP 6/3 was the only IGFBP that retained this growth-inhibition property. Under transient exposure conditions, FP 6/3 was found to be effective when exposure was limited to as few as 10 min and concentrations were as low as 1 nm. These findings with FP 6/3 suggest that it potentially could lead be used as therapy against cancers in which IGF-II is an autocrine growth factor because it brings an inhibition action directly to tumor cells.

Vision perceptual based rate control algorithm for multi-view video coding (2011)

Multi-view video coding technique is widely applied on 3D technology. The view number is increased to improve the quality of 3D viewing experience. However, the data storage requirement is very huge for the view number incensement. The rate control is very important issue to trade off the quality and bit-rate. This paper proposes a rate control method which utilizes Human Visual System (HVS) to distribute the bit-rate in the difference vision perceptual region. The interesting area for 3D viewing experience is determined to arrange appropriate quality and bit-rate on multi-view video coding. In the same bit-rate coded video bitstream, the interesting region in the reconstructed image by the proposed algorithm has better image quality then by the JMVC.
