Online access to weather satellite imagery and image manipulation software (2002)

Advanced Very High Resolution (AVHRR) and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) imagery, received by antennas located at the University of Colorado, are made available to Internet users through an online data access system. Created as a "testbed" data system for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) future Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS), this testbed provides an opportunity to test both the technical requirements of an online data system and the different ways in which the general user community would employ such a system. Initiated in Dec., 1991 the basic data system experienced 4 major evolutionary changes in response to user requests and requirements. Features added with these changes were the addition of online browse, user subsetting, and dynamic image processing/navigation. Over its lifetime the system has grown to a maximum of over 2,500 registered users and after losing many of these users due to hardware changes, the system is once again growing with its own independent mass storage system.
Chimerization of astroglial population in the lumbar spinal cord after mesenchymal stem cell transplantation prolongs survival in a rat model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (2009)

Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit neuroprotective properties when introduced into the degenerating central nervous system through different putative mechanisms including secretion of growth factors and transdifferentiation. In the present study, we injected MSCs into the cerebrospinal fluid of symptomatic hSOD1(G93A) rats, a transgenic animal model of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) expressing a mutated form of the human superoxide dismutase. MSCs were found to infiltrate the nervous parenchyma and migrate substantially into the ventral gray matter, where motor neurons degenerate. Even though overall astrogliosis was not modified, MSCs differentiated massively into astrocytes at the site of degeneration. The intrathecal delivery of MSCs and the subsequent generation of healthy astrocytes at symptomatic stage decreased motor neuron loss in the lumbar spinal cord, preserving motor functions and extending the survival of hSOD1(G93A) rats. This neuroprotection was correlated with decreased inflammation, as shown by the lower proliferation of microglial cells and the reduced expressiontion of COX-2 and NOX-2. Together, these data highlight the protective capacity of adult MSC-derived astrocytes when grafted into the central nervous system and illustrate an attractive strategy to target excessive inflammation in ALS.

[Relationship between left and right ventricular function in experimental acute focal ischemia]. (1992)

Experiments were conducted on rats to record the parameters characterizing the real and maximally accessible function of the left and right ventricles in acute focal ischemia of the myocardium of these parts 5, 20, 40, and 60 minutes after ligation of the corresponding coronary artery. It was established that disorders of synchronism in heart activity are greater in injury to the right than in those to the left ventricle.
Antiferromagnetic coupling between layers in Co/Cr multilayer (invited) (1990)

It has been shown by several groups that Fe layers in epitaxial Fe/Cr sandwiches or multilayers (MLFs) are coupled antiferromagnetically (AF) for very small Cr thicknesses. One way this is manifest in the MLF is that for a fixed Fe thickness (30 Å) the hysteresis curves are progressively flatter as the Cr thickness decreases. This is the opposite behavior to that expected if the Fe layers were uncoupled or ferromagnetically coupled. We have observed the same type of behavior in a series of nominally 21-Å Co/X Cr MLFs where X varies from 14 to 57 Å. These MLFs have been well characterized with both x-ray scattering and cross-sectional high-resolution electron microscopy. They are highly polycrystalline, nonideal MLFs with appreciable mixed interfaces. We have determined that Co/Cr MLF have an interface or exchange anisotropy with an average value of ∼7 kOe in a direction opposite to that of the in-plane magnetization. Such an AF interaction is expected from Cr layers having interface thicknesses comparable to that of the pure Cr regions. It provides a natural mechanism for the Cr layers to align the Co layers either AF or FM depending on the local structural details. Both types of alignment are likely to be present in a MLF and the regions having AF alignment will cause the observed flattening of the hysteresis loops. The magnetoresistance of these MLFs has a behavior similar to, but much smaller than, the ‘‘giant’’ magnetoresistance seen in the epitaxial Fe/Cr MLF and single-crystal Fe whiskers. The magnetoresistance in pure Fe has been attributed to the domain structure and it is likely responsible for this effect in the Co/Cr MLF as well.
Taping for plantar fasciitis (2015)

We found that in the short-term, taping is beneficial in treating plantar fasciitis. The best evidence exists for low dye taping and calcaneal taping. More research is needed to investigate long-term effect and effectiveness of specific taping techniques.
High density crossbar structure for memory application (2011)

In this thesis study, we utilized two-terminal resistive devices to construct high-density crossbar arrays for memory and logic applications. The performance advantages of the devices using a-Si as the resistance switching layer have been confirmed in this thesis study in terms of switching speed ( < 50ns), high on/off current ratio ( > 106), good data retention ( > 6years), and programming endurance ( > 105). The resistive memory was further engineered so that the devices can exhibit intrinsic diode-like I-V characteristics at on-state with reverse bias current suppressed to below 10−13 A and providing rectifying ratio > 106. The intrinsic diode behavior can be explained by the motion of Ag ions inside the a-Si matrix and are robust during device operation by surviving > 108 programming and erasing cycles. The intrinsic rectifying behavior is critical to solving the “sneak path” problem that has hindered high-density crossbar development. Based on these developments, we successfully demonstrated vertical integration of nanoscale crossbar arrays on CMOS circuits. The integrated crossbar/CMOS devices preserved all desired functionalities including low programming current, high on/off current ratio, excellent device uniformity, and the intrinsic rectifying characteristics. Integrated systems composed of a 40 × 40 crossbar array with 50 nm half-pitch have been fabricated on 180 nm technology node CMOS. For the first time, complex data patterns including binary 40 × 40 images and “color” 40 × 40 images can be stored and retrieved in the integrated crossbar/CMOS system without having to use transistors as current steering elements at each crosspoint inside the array. We further developed a framework for modeling the resistive switching devices. The modeling involves identifying and solving the filament growth equations together with the metal/insulator/semiconductor tunneling equation that can correctly predict the dynamic resistive switching characteristics including the apparent threshold effect, the dependence of switching time on voltage, and multiple level storage capability. The governing equations were further incorporated into conventional SPICE package and were used to successfully demonstrate several simple circuit operations.
Super-resolution image reconstruction using sparse parameter dictionary framework (2012)

Super-resolution (SR) image reconstruction is the signal processing technique of fusing many low resolution images into a single higher resolution image. A sparse parameter dictionary framework for super-resolution image reconstruction is proposed, which amalgamates the feature patches of high-resolution and low-resolution images using sparse parameter dictionary coding. This technique fabricates a sparse connection between middle-frequency and high-frequency image elements and comprehends concurrently match searching and optimization methods. Comparison with sparse coding method shows sparse parameter dictionary is more dense and efficient. Sparse Kernel-Single Value Decomposition algorithm is applied for optimization to fasten the sparse coding process. Few experiments with real images depict that sparse parameter dictionary coding surpasses all other learning-based super-resolution algorithms in terms of PSNR.

Dyslexia: the current status of the term, II (1995)

This paper reports on some of the more important developments in the dyslexia field which have taken place in the last ten years. These include the growth of public awareness of dyslexia on a worldwide scale, advances in knowledge of its anatomical basis, and increased under standing of dyslexics' strengths and weaknesses in mathematics and music. The 'phonological deficit' theory is briefly discussed, and some more speculative ideas are then considered. An important development has been the recognition that, despite their literacy difficulties, dyslexics may sometimes possess distinctive talents.
Light and colour as analytical detection tools: A journey into the periodic table using polyamines to bio-inspired systems as chemosensors (2010)

This critical review describes some developments on the chemistry of fluorescent and colorimetric molecular probes or chemosensors, based on polyamines and associated compounds having oxygen and/or sulfur as donor atoms. The reported systems are essentially based on some selected published work in this field in the last five years, and in the work developed by the authors from 2000 onwards. Some interesting properties beyond sensing molecules, ions or/and cations by fluorescence, colorimetry as well as by MALDI-TOF MS spectrometry can arise from these systems. A short brief on different examples activated by PET (photoinduced electron transfer), ICT (internal charge transfer) and EET (electronic energy transfer) phenomena will be provided. Finally the introduction of bio-inspired compounds derived from emissive amino acid or short peptide systems and nanoparticle devices to detect metal ions will be reviewed (202 references).
Level of health risk among poultry workers in Nigeria (2020)

Poultry, also known as domestic fowl are winged animals domesticated for their nutritional and economic reasons. One of the problems generated from their intensive management method is the long time exposure of poultry workers to dangerous gases which has led to various health implications among the workers. This project considers various units within poultry firm to know the level of risk in poultry firm. One Hundred copies of questionnaires were disseminated among staffs of three different farms in Osun and Oyo states to gather information. Likewise, personal observations / interview of poultry staffs were not left out. The farms visited included Tuns (Osogbo), Zartech (Ibadan) and Vina (Ibadan) farms, Osun and Oyo States respectively. Different units such as: pen house, laboratory, farm workshop (maintenance engineers, technician), Administrative offices were captured with the questionnaires. Result obtained shows that cholera, E. coli, salmonellosis, staphylococcus, Avian flu, Mark, New castle diseases and diarrhea were the most common diseases affecting poultry workers. It was also gathered that, the chemicals used as disinfectant contributes to cough, catarrh, sore throat and breathing difficulty especially among the pen attendant who spend most of their working hours in the pen house. It was observed from the results that pen attendants who have spent between 0-2, 2-5, 5-10 and10-15years on the job have 0%,  33.33%,15.5% and 0% of related diseases were at high risk of respiratory disorder, cough and catahrr. Whereas, 0%, 0%, 14.3% and0%; 0%, 0%, 20% and 50%; and 0%, 0%, 28.6% and 16.7% of related diseases such as Headache, catarrh, sore throat, and other  respiratory diseases were recorded for laboratory scientist, engineering and administrative (other) units with working experience of 0-2, 2-5, 5-10 and 10-15years, respectively. This may be due to longer hrs of time spent by pen attendant in the pen house as compared to other staff members from other units. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that pen attendant who work more in the penhouse are more prone to health implications in poultry firms.

FTS-a new algorithm for optimal row-placement (2002)

The paper presents two new placement algorithms applied in automatic generation of functional cells. Both algorithms can be used for any problem consisting in finding the optimal permutation of a given set of elements with respect to a given objective or cost function. The first one-Wide Track Search (WTS) gives good results for problems of any size, but cannot guarantee the global optimality of solution. The second one-Full Track Search (FTS) can be applied to smaller problems (up to /spl sim/20 elements) and finds the optimal solution. Due to its smallest known computational complexity (compared to other algorithms which find global optimum) FTS can find the optimal solutions of problems, which had so far not been optimally solved because of their size.
Use of epoetin in patients with cancer: evidence-based clinical practice guidelines of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the American Society of Hematology (2002)

Anemia resulting from cancer or its treatment is an important clinical problem increasingly treated with the recombinant hematopoietic growth factor erythropoietin. To address uncertainties regarding indications and efficacy, the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the American Society of Hematology developed an evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the use of epoetin in patients with cancer. The guideline panel found good evidence to recommend use of epoetin as a treatment option for patients with chemotherapy-associated anemia with a hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration below 10 g/dL. Use of epoetin for patients with less severe anemia (Hgb level below 12 g/dL but never below 10 g/dL) should be determined by clinical circumstances. Good evidence from clinical trials supports the use of subcutaneous epoetin thrice weekly (150 U/kg) for a minimum of 4 weeks. Less strong evidence supports an alternative weekly (40 000 U/wk) dosing regimen, based on common clinical practice. With either administration schedule, dose escalation should be considered for those not responding to the initial dose. In the absence of response, continuing epoetin beyond 6-8 weeks does not appear to be beneficial. Epoetin should be titrated once the hemoglobin concentration reaches 12 g/dL. Evidence from one randomized controlled trial supports use of epoetin for patients with anemia associated with low-risk myelodysplasia not receiving chemotherapy; however, there are no published high-quality studies to support its use for anemia in other hematologic malignancies in the absence of chemotherapy. Therefore, for anemic patients with hematologic malignancies it is recommended that physicians initiate conventional therapy and observe hematologic response before considering use of epoetin.
Experimental Analysis of High Temperature PEEK Materials on 3D Printing Test (2017)

As a kind of semi crystalline thermoplastic engineering plastics, Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability. Aiming at the high temperature properties of PEEK, test and analysis of PEEK fused 3D printing performance was carried out by the fused deposition modeling(FDM), the experimental research date has been obtained by the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties and forming precision, the sheet forming. The result shows that adjusting the hot bed temperature, ambient temperature and filling ratio, it can improve the bonding strength, and it ultimately can improve the mechanical properties and the printing precision of PEEK. Compared to the PLA material, the maximum tensile strength of PEEK reached up to around 77Mpa, which was much larger than the tensile strength of PLA, and has good forming properties in thin layer parts. The analysis of this paper provides an effective basis for the analysis of high temperature 3D material PPEK printing, and provides a new solution for the performance control of high temperature material 3D printing.
Wet adhesion with application to tree frog adhesive toe pads and tires (2007)

Strong adhesion between solids with rough surfaces is only possible if at least one of the solids is elastically very soft. Some lizards and spiders are able to adhere (dry adhesion) and move on very rough vertical surfaces due to very compliant surface layers on their attachment pads. Flies, bugs, grasshoppers and tree frogs have less compliant pad surface layers, and in these cases adhesion to rough surfaces is only possible because the animals inject a wetting liquid into the pad–substrate contact area, which generates a relative long-range attractive interaction due to the formation of capillary bridges. In this presentation I will discuss some aspects of wet adhesion for tree frogs and give some comments related to tire applications.
Synthesis and characterization of cyclam complexes of rhodium(III) (1970)

A series of complexes of the type Rh(cyclam)X 2 + and Rh(cyclam)XY n+ have been prepared and characterized, where cyclam represents 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane and X and Y represent OH − , H 2 O, Cl − , Br − , I − , N 3 − , NCS − , and NO 2 − . The infrared and electronic spectra are discussed with respect to assignment of the cis and trans isomers, the linkage isomers, and the Rh–ligand stretching frequencies above 250 cm −1 . The thermodynamic trans effect is related to shifts in the Rh–ligand stretching frequencies. The intensities of the d–d transitions are related to distortion of the octahedral field to support the cis and trans assignments, and compared to show the decrease in bond constraint for propylene linkages in place of ethylene. Steric constraint accounts for the single case of stereoisomerization by cis-Rh(cyclam)I 2 + .
Eye movement study of reading text on a mobile phone using paging, scrolling, leading, and RSVP (2007)

Which text presentation format is best to use on a mobile phone? We have evaluated Scrolling, Paging, Leading, and Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) in a balanced repeated-measurement study employing 16 subjects on a mobile phone. Besides monitoring reading speed, comprehension, and task load, we also tracked eye movements while reading. The results show that text presented in the Page format is read significantly faster than both the Scrolling and the RSVP format without any significant differences in comprehension. The Page format was moreover significantly less demanding to use compared to Leading and RSVP for most factors according to NASA-TLX. RSVP was found to significantly decrease eye movements whereas Leading was found to increase them. Leading yielded very irregular eye movements, but this did not affect reading speed. These results show that Paging offers best readability on a mobile phone, an interesting finding given that Scrolling is the format predominantly used today.
A distributed Internet caching system (2002)

This paper describes a distributed Web caching system for the Internet. In the proposed structure, every client computer in the network takes on the additional role of a cache server, serving the objects it had previously requested and received to other client computers that also request the object. A comprehensive set of protocol for the access, storage and serving function is developed. The proposed protocol guarantees data consistency between the original server object and that in the cache. The system also has the largest storage capacity, as well as having the highest level of reliability possible for a network of such structure.
Small Square Monopole Antenna With Enhanced Bandwidth by Using Inverted T-Shaped Slot and Conductor-Backed Plane (2010)

We present a novel printed monopole antenna for ultra wideband applications. The proposed antenna consists of a square radiating patch with an inverted T-shaped slot and a ground plane with an inverted T-shaped conductor-backed plane, which provides a wide usable fractional bandwidth of more than 130% (2.91-14.1 GHz). By cutting a modified inverted T-shaped slot with variable dimensions on the radiating patch and also by inserting an inverted T-shaped conductor-backed plane, additional resonances are excited and hence much wider impedance bandwidth can be produced, especially at the higher band. The designed antenna has a small size of 12 × 18 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . Simulated and experimental results obtained for this antenna show that it exhibits good radiation behavior within the UWB frequency range.
Codon usage tabulated from the international DNA sequence databases (1998)

CUTG (codon usage tabulated from GenBank) is a comprehensive database for codon usage. The codon usage for each full-length protein gene has been calculated using the nucleotide sequence obtained from GenBank sequence database. The sum of the codon use of each organism has been also calculated. The data files can be obtained from anonymous ftp sites of DDBJ, DISC and EBI. The list of codon usage of genes in organisms was made searchable by name of organism through a web site http://www.dna.affrc.go.jp/nakamura/CUTG.html The compilation is synchronized with major release of GenBank.

Computation Cost in Grid Computing Environments (2007)

Computational grid is an upcoming environment based on open standards and visualization of individual resources created with a goal of supporting collaboration and resource sharing. As the technology advances and user base grows; grid computing will advance beyond research institutions and find its place in the commercial sector, in need of supporting the service-oriented goals imposed by such community. With the advent or various services, quality of service (QoS) levels will need to be shaped to provide quantitative and qualitative measure of service satisfaction for various user categories. A major concern among these users will be the associated cost for individual services and their ability to compare these costs and services between different providers. This paper raises some initial issues in the given area, analyzes only the few currently available approaches and provides the foundation for future work in terms service comparison and cost analysis.
Novel switched current source for increasing output signal edge steepness of current switches without generating large overshoot (1995)

Shortly switching off the current supplied to a current switch improves edge steepness and reduces overshoot of the output current. This allows higher input voltage swing to achieve yet steeper edges while keeping overshoot reasonably small. An example shows reduction of rise time and fall time to 50% and 70%, respectively.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
