A Multidimensional Model of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (2005)

The complex clinical presentation of OCD can be summarized with a few consistent, temporally stable symptom dimensions. These can be understood as a spectrum of potentially overlapping syndromes that may 1) coexist in any patient, 2) be continuous with normal obsessive-compulsive phenomena, and 3) extend beyond the traditional nosological boundaries of OCD. Although the dimensional structure of obsessive-compulsive symptoms is imperfect, this quantitative approach to phenotypic traits has the potential to advance our understanding of OCD and may aid in the identification of more robust endophenotypes. The need for a dimensional rating scale and suggestions for future research aimed at reducing the burden of this disorder are discussed.

Statistical Binarization Techniques for Document Image Analysis (2018)

Binarization is an important process in image enhancement and analysis. Currently, numerous binarization techniques have been reported in the literature. These binarization methods produce binary images from color or gray-level images. This article highlights an extensive review on various binarization approaches which are also referred to as thresholding methods. These methods are grouped into seven categories according to the employed features and techniques: histogram shape-based, clusteringbased, entropy-based, object-attribute-based, spatial, local and hybrid methods. Most active binarization researchers exploit several initial information from the source image such as histogram shape, measurement space clustering, entropy, object attributes, spatial correlation and local gray level surface with a special attention to statistical information description features of image used in recent thresholding techniques.
Complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. (1991)

As laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become more widely practiced, the full spectrum of complications associated with this technique is being realized. We have performed 283 consecutive laparoscopic cholecystectomies with no deaths and a morbidity rate of 5.3% (15 of 283 patients; six major complications, nine minor complications). Major complications included one bile duct injury requiring laparotomy and t-tube insertion and two patients with retained stones. Symptomatic bile leakage occurred in three patients (1%). Two of these bile leaks were from accessory ducts entering the gallbladder bed; the third leak was secondary to a cystic duct leak. Eight patients (2.8%) required conversion to open cholecystectomy. Minor complications included three patients with subumbilical wound infections, two patients with urinary tract infections, one patient with costochondritis after operation, and three patients with prolonged hospital stays (more than 48 hrs) caused by ileus or fever. Several patients with life-threatening complications, including two patients who ultimately died, were transferred to our care from other centers. These included two patients with common duct injuries combined with duodenal perforations (one of whom died), one patient with a complete common duct transection, one patient with major common hepatic duct injury, and two patients with further instances of bile leakage. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be performed safely, and it can be associated with life-threatening complications. Prevention of complications is dependent on proper patient selection, meticulous technique, and an accepting attitude toward conversion to "open" cholecystectomy.
MicroRNA-326 acts as a molecular switch in the regulation of midbrain urocortin 1 expression (2016)

We identified miR-326 dysregulation in depressed suicide completers and characterized this miRNA as an upstream regulator of the Ucn1 neuropeptide expression in midbrain neurons.
Template-based Synthetic Handwriting Generation for the Training of Recognition Systems (2005)

In this paper we present a method for synthesizing English handwritten textlines from ASCII transcriptions. The method is based on templates of characters and the Delta LogNormal model of handwriting generation. To generate a textline, rst a static image of the textline is built by concatenating perturbed versions of the character templates. Then strokes and corresponding virtual targets are extracted and randomly perturbed, and nally the textline is drawn using overlapping strokes and delta-lognormal velocity proles in accordance with the Delta LogNormal theory. The generated textlines are used as training data for a hidden Markov model based o-line handwritten textline recognizer. First results show that adding such generated textlines to the natural training set may be benecial.
A simple expression for wind erosion threshold friction velocity (2000)

Threshold friction velocity u *t is the friction velocity at which wind erosion is initiated. While u *t is affected by a range of surface and soil properties, it is a function of particle size only for idealized soils. In this paper we present a simple expression for u *t for spherical particles loosely spread over a dry and bare surface. In this expression we consider the balance between the driving forces (aerodynamic drag and lift) and the retarding forces (cohesion and gravity) and assume that the cohesive force is proportional to particle size. It is found that u *t can be expressed as , with Y 1 and Y 2 being empirical constants. The new expression is both simple and effective.

3D object recognition using qualitative features (2002)

We present a vision system that can be to recognize 3D objects. Surfaces are characterized by surface curvature. Qualitative features are shown to be effective in pruning the search space of possible scene interpretations explored by the recognition and localization technique. Within this paradigm, we implemented a system which extracts planar patches, and patches of quadrics of revolution from a depth map. Reconstructed features are indexed into a model database to verify object hypotheses using the Hough technique. Our approach is surface based and is not sensitive to noise or occlusion.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
[Effect of hormones on the susceptibility of the swine cell line IB-RS-2 to foot-and-mouth disease virus]. (1979)

The actions of hydrocortisone and insulin on the multiplication of foot-and-mouth disease virus were studied. The data obtained showed that the infectivity and the synthesis of the virus nucleic acid as evaluated through the plaque assay method and the kinetics of Uridine-3H incorporation were increased or decreased by hydrocortisone (2 x 10(-6) M). The induction of both effects seems to be related to the carbohydrate metabolism: when the maintenance medium contained glucose or glucose plus calf serum there was an inhibition on virus multiplication and no effect was observed in the absence of both serum and glucose. This was found both when the hormone was added to the cell culture 24 hours before infection as well as when it was added immediately or thirty minutes after virus adsorption. The possibility that these effects could be related to the synthesis of viral RNA-polimerase is discussed. Insulin (50 ng/ml) did not induce any effect on foot-and-mouth disease virus multiplication. However this hormone antagonized the action of hydrocortisone on the infectivity and on the synthesis of foot-and-mouth disease virus nucleic acid.
Polynomial based key predistribution scheme in wireless mesh networks (2012)

\n\t\t\t\t\tWireless mesh networks (WMNs) have the ability to integrate with other networks while providing a fast and cost-saving deployment. The network security is one of important challenge problems in this kind of networks. This paper is focused on key management between mesh and sensor networks. We propose an efficient key pre-distribution scheme based on two polynomials in wireless mesh networks by employing the nature of heterogeneity. Our scheme realizes the property of bloom filters, i.e., neighbor nodes can discover their shared keys but have no knowledge on the different keys possessed by the other node, without the probability of false positive. The analysis presented in this paper shows that our scheme has the ability to establish three different security level keys and achieves the property of self adaptive security for sensor networks with acceptable computation and communication consumption.\n\t\t\t\t
Human Urine Proteomics: Analytical Techniques and Clinical Applications in Renal Diseases (2015)

Urine has been in the center of attention among scientists of clinical proteomics in the past decade, because it is valuable source of proteins and peptides with a relative stable composition and easy to collect in large and repeated quantities with a noninvasive procedure. In this review, we discuss technical aspects of urinary proteomics in detail, including sample preparation, proteomic technologies, and their advantage and disadvantages. Several recent experiments are presented which applied urinary proteome for biomarker discovery in renal diseases including diabetic nephropathy, immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, lupus nephritis, membranous nephropathy, and acute kidney injury. In addition, several available databases in urinary proteomics are also briefly introduced.
Computation and Applications of Industrial Leading Indicators to Business Process Improvement (2013)

Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a measurement of how well the industrial process in the organization performs an operational activity that is critical for the current and future success of that organization [1]. The industrial leading indicators are one type of KPIs that present key drivers of industrial business value, are predictors of future outcomes. Thus leading indicator discovery is critical to success of the industrial objectives. There are some challenges in leading indicator discovery. The traditional approach depending on domain experts’ experiences is labor-intensive and error-prone. In addition, because the time shifts between industrial KPIs are vague and often inconstant for variability of business concerns, the correlation between them cannot be correctly calculated using the traditional distance functions. In this paper, we propose a semi-automatic system with an iterative learning process for discovering leading indicators to help trace anomalies and optimize the industrial objectives. Finally two industrial case studies are conducted by applying the proposed methods in the production printing application. The proposed system has two key differentiations and novelties: (1) the semi-automatic framework uses temporal data mining techniques combined with domain knowledge to enable timely access to KPI analysis, and anomaly tracing; and (2) an iterative learning method continuingly uncovers the “root ” leading indicators along with the changes of business environment.
Autoradiographic Analysis of Schistosoma Mansoni Migration from Skin to Lungs in Naive Mice (1983)

A study was performed to determine the extent of attrition of Schistosoma mansoni in naive mice (innate resistance) during the 1st week of infection. Each mouse was exposed to exactly 50 cercariae radiolabeled with [75Se] selenomethionine. On 1, 4, and 7 days postexposure, skin, lungs and liver were analyzed by compressed organ autoradiography for the presence of labeled larvae. Using this technique it was determined that no more than one-third of the 59% attrition that occurred between the cercarial and adult worm stages could be attributed to losses during the skin phase; most of the attrition in naive mice occurred after the migration of larvae to the lungs.

The Evaluation of School‐Based Violence Prevention Programs: A Meta‐Analysis* (2008)

Unlike previous individual study findings, this meta-analysis did not find any differential effects for 4 of the 5 program characteristics. In addition, the significant effect noted was contrary to expectation, exemplifying the complexity of identifying effective program strategies. This study adds to the current literature by assessing the program characteristics of RCT studies in an effort to determine what factors may affect school-based violence prevention program success.
A DC to 20 GHz externally modulated fibre-optic link (1989)

Presents the advantages of microwave fibre-optic links over conventional microwave transmission media and the reasons for choosing the external modulation scheme. The authors also demonstrate such a link with a frequency response to beyond 20 GHz and insertion loss of 65 dB which agrees well with theory. Taking realistic target values for key parameters has indicated that a reduction of the insertion loss of the microwave fibre-optic link to 23 dB is feasible.
Embedded flash memories-technology assessment and future (2003)

While embedded flash technologies should be the key for the next decade system-on-a-chip, current aggressive scaling of logic CMOS devices increases the difficulty for the cost effective device realization. Various approaches and requirements for embedded flash devices will be discussed from broad viewpoints, such as device physics, process integration and reliability. Future ideal cell structure will also be addressed.
Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Treatment of Polymers (2013)

Focusing on the utility of APP treatment for enhancing polymer adhesion, this book covers the latest development in this important and enabling technology, providing profound insights from many top researchers on the design and functions of various types of reactors, as well as current and potential applications of APP treatment.
Constituents and Effects of Ginseng Leaf (2004)

Ginseng root has been used as a tonic remedy in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries. Modern studies have demonstrated that ginseng root has complex components and multiple pharmacological properties. The effects of ginseng leaf, however, are not well known. Recent studies show that compared to ginseng root, ginseng leaf and stem exhibit a higher content of active compositions such as ginsenosides, polysaccharides, triterpene flavonoids, volatile oil, polyacetylenic alcohols, peptides, amino acids and fatty acids. Ginseng leaf possesses multiple pharmacological effects in the central nervous, cardiovascular, growth and metabolism systems. Additionally, the leaf has anti-fatigue, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-oxidant, and anti-aged effects. In general, ginseng leaf is quite safe, but adverse effects may occur if it is abused or is of poor quality. Thus, attention must be paid to dosages, quality, and standardization of ginseng leaf products.
Antibiotherapy and pathogenesis of uncomplicated UTI: difficult relationships (2009)

In a time when conventional antibiotics are becoming increasingly less effective for treatment of infections, the relationship between bacteria and antimicrobial resistance is becoming more and more complicated. This paper provides a current review of studies reported in the literature pertaining to the antibiotherapy of human urinary tract infections (UTI), in a way that helps the reader direct a bibliographic search and develop an integrated perspective of the subject. Highlights are given to (bio)pathogenesis of uncomplicated cystitis. Features associated with the antibiotherapy of UTI such as development of resistance are presented in the text systematically. This review discusses recent advances in the understanding of how the predominant uropathogen Escherichia coli interacts with its host and leads to infection; so one can understand some of the reasons behind antibiotherapy failures.
Controlled Prospective Trial of Corticosteroid Therapy in Active Chronic Hepatitis (1971)

By a method using sealed envelopes a series of patients with active chronic hepatitis who had not received corticosteroids or adrenocorticotrophic hormone was divided into two groups; one was given prednisolone and the other was used as a control. Fifty-four patients were initially included in the study over a period of 48 months, but five were subsequently withdrawn when it became clear that the diagnosis was incorrect. The corticosteroid group then contained 22 and the control group 27 patients. The two groups were reasonably well matched; the corticosteroid group, however, contained rather more females of a lower age. Although the mean serum bilirubin was higher in the control group, the mean serum aspartate aminotransferase and total globulin were higher in the corticosteroid group, indicating that that group contained more patients with a high degree of ‘activity’ of the hepatic lesion. The mean erythrocyte sedimentation rate was also higher in the corticosteroid group. An initial dose of 15 mg prednisolone daily was used in the corticosteroid group, and this was reduced whenever biochemical tests of liver function became normal or when there was evidence of severe side-effects of corticosteroids. It was subsequently stopped altogether in eight patients. During the first two to three years after inclusion to the study, the mean serum bilirubin, total globulin and albumin in the corticosteroid group showed a significant trend to normal when compared with the control group. The most significant and unexpected finding was a marked rise in serum albumin. After the investigation had been in progress for 72 months, three patients in the corticosteroid group and 15 in the control group had died at a mean of 11 (4 to 17) and 23 (1 to 63) months respectively. The difference between the mortality in the two groups is significant (P<0·01). The survivors in the two groups had been in the study for 53 (25 to 72) and 52 (29 to 72) months respectively. Four patients in the corticosteroid group had illnesses which were probably severe complications of corticosteroid therapy, and several others had minor complications. It is concluded that corticosteroid therapy should he used during the early-active phase (usually two to three years) of active chronic hepatitis and is of value in increasing life expectancy in patients with the condition. The mode of action is not clear, but it is probably related both to its immuno-suppressive properties and also an ability to stimulate albumin synthesis. The dose should be kept as low as possible, based on serum globulin and albumin concentrations, and be withdrawn when all biochemical tests of liver function return to normal.
FPGA-oriented evaluation algorithm for exponential and logarithm functions (2011)

CORDIC algorithm has been widely used for efficient evaluation of transcendental functions in hardware,but its generality prevents it to be optimized according to a certain function.A unified evaluation algorithm for exponential and logarithm function called LnE is proposed.It can be implemented only by shift and addition with linear convergence speed just as CORDIC algorithm does,but shows great advantages over CORDIC algorithm.LnE only needs x datapath and y datapath, and addition is needed independent of iteration coefficients di during all the iteration,which can reduce the cost of control. Moreover,LnE avoids the process of scale factor compensation and can converge without repeating some iteration.So,the number of iteration and cost of each iteration in LnE are both less than those of CORDIC,which can spare at least 1/3 of the area estate compared to CORDIC algorithm.
[Experimental study on transcription regulation of mouse hepcidin gene by NF-kB]. (2006)

Transcription factor NF-kB is likely to be an important molecule in transcription regulation of hepcidin gene. As a key component, p65 subunit binds to hepcidin gene at -53 - -64 bp, and upregulates hepcidin expression.
