An experimental study on congestion control inwireless andwired networks (2005)

This paper presents an extensive experimental analysis of two TCP-friendly congestion controls recently proposed in the literature, placing a special emphasis on the wireless setting. This work is motivated in part by the consideration that, to our knowledge, the majority of the results in this area are validated by simulation analysis rather than by experimentation. Testing these algorithms in real environments can help to verify their actual effectiveness for possible employment over the Internet. To reach our goal, we have implemented one representative algorithm among the so-called window-based TCP-friendly congestion controls, namely, the general additive increase multiplicative decrease (GAIMD) strategy, and used the publicly available code for the most popular control of the rate-based family, i.e., the TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC). We have then evaluated their TCP-fairness and smoothness in a test-bed featuring Cisco WAN equipment, as well as in an IEEE 802.11g wireless local area network (WLAN). Based on our results, we first propose and justify the tuning of TFRC to avoid a weird behavior that in the wireless environment this control occasionally exhibited. We next show that the GAIMD strategy reveals non-negligible scalability and smoothness problems that limit its performance, mainly in the radio setting. We empirically demonstrate that its increase/decrease rules, based on a TCP-Reno analytical model, do not guarantee an adequate performance when GAIMD competes with TCP-Sack, a de facto standard for current TCP implementations.
Effects of kappa opioids in the inflamed rat colon (1999)

The objective of this study was to examine the antinociceptive effects of peripherally restricted kappa-opioid receptor agonists (ORAs) in a rat model of inflammatory bowel disease produced by intracolonic instillation of trinitrobenzine sulfonic acid (TNBS). Antinociceptive effects of mu-(morphine) and kappa-ORAs (EMD 61,753 and ICI 204,488) were evaluated in a behavioral model of visceral nociception. The effects of these agonists and a delta-ORA (SNC 80) on responses of pelvic nerve afferent fibers innervating the colon were also tested. In the behavioral study, systemic injections of morphine and both kappa-ORAs dose-dependently inhibited the visceromotor response to colorectal distension in rats with uninflamed or inflamed colons. The inhibitory effects of kappa-ORAs, but not morphine, were significantly greater in rats with colons inflamed 4 days previously by TNBS. A mu-receptor-selective dose (30 microg/kg) of naloxone methiodide (NLXM) blocked the inhibitory effect of morphine, but not of EMD 61,753. In the single-fiber study, neither morphine nor the delta-ORA SNC 80 attenuated the responses of pelvic nerve afferent fibers, whereas kappa-ORAs dose-dependently inhibited responses of pelvic nerve afferent fibers with significantly greater potency in the inflamed colon. Pretreatment with a non-opioid receptor-selective dose (2 mg/kg) of NLXM produced a rightward shift in the dose-response function of EMD 61,753. The greater potency of kappa-ORAs in the TNBS-inflamed condition suggests a peripheral upregulation of kappa-opioid receptors in colonic inflammation.
Effective Consumer Protection or Benign Neglect? kA Model of Television Infomercial Clearance (2001)

Abstract Although infomercials are becoming a much more common type of television advertising with gross sales of products exceeding one billion dollars in 1996, there have been no studies examining the interactive influences of different station policies, market environments and management beliefs on infomercial clearance decisions. A national survey of television stations with responses from over 350 stations was used to build and assess a model of infomercial clearance decision making. Results suggest there is great variation in the infomercial review process and clearance outcomes between stations. Some stations routinely accept ads that could harm consumers. Thus, policy recommendations based on these results are made.

THE NECESSARY COMPUTATIONS ARE IDEALLY SUITED TO DIGITAL COMPUTERS AND CAN BE IMPLEMENTED WITH EXISTING GENERAL PURPOSE MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION COMPUTER PROGRAMS. THE NATURE OF THE LEAST SQUARES METHOD IS SUCH THAT SELECTION AND COMBINATION CALCULATIONS ARE CARRIED OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR ALL COLORANTS CONSIDERED FOR USE IN MATCHING A STANDARD.
Hydrogenated amorphous-silicon image sensors (1989)

Recent developments in hydrogenated amorphous-silicon image sensors are reviewed, and their specific problems discussed. One of the most exciting features of amorphous silicon is its large-area capability. Principal development efforts are therefore directed toward contact-type linear image sensors. Contact-type area sensors represent a new challenge and are already being developed. Amorphous silicon is also a good candidate for future high-definition video image sensors. Hybrid technology sensors (direct-readout and matrix-readout sensors), integrated sensors (photodiode and photoconductor types), optical scanning sensors, and other image sensors are reviewed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
The Design of Multi-bandpass FSS (2015)

This article describes the features of basic frequency selective surfaces technology (FSS), presents the basic principle and essential method for design of double band pass and tri-band pass FSS, and the great performance was achieved by emulation and test results. This type of FSS can be used for sub reflectors and radomes, and provides a good basis for the theory and methodology of the frequency reuse and reducing radar cross-section (RCS).
Carbonation Interactions with Sweetness and Sourness (1992)

ABSTRACT The effects of CO 2 level on sweetness and of sweetener level on carbonation perception were measured in two sweetened systems. The effects of CO 2 level on sourness and of acid level on carbonation perception were measured in two acidulated systems. The effects were measured at concentrations in ranges of 2‐16% (w/v) sucrose, 0.015‐0.12% (w/v) aspartame, 0.02‐0.29% (w/v) citric acid, and 0.015‐0.06% (v/v) phosphoric acid. Little effect of carbonation on sweetness was found in either sweetened system. Sucrose at 16% (w/v) reduced carbonation perception. Carbonation enhanced sourness ratings at the lower acid levels and had no effect at higher acid levels for either acid. No effect of acid level on carbonation perception was found.

Test challenges for SONET/SDH physical layer OC3 devices and beyond (2002)

Testing SONET/SDH physical layer devices at and above OC3 (optical carrier 3)/STS3 (synchronous transport signal 3) rates needs a new approach. Due to fast edge rates the spectral content of the signals is in the GHz range. High speed transceivers must have low voltage differential I/O to meet fast data transfer rates over longer transmission lines. Such devices with high pin count and data rates above OC3/STS3 are sensitive to pin to pin skew on the Automatic Test Equipment (ATE). Many factors have to be taken into account during test development phase to capture and test the above signal conditions. Transmission line effects are one of the key parameters to be accounted for load board design. Test instrumentation and their limitations are another important resource. With technology improvements in CMOS design, mass production of high speed devices will happen in the immediate future. The following paper discusses challenges in production test of a OC3/STS3 physical layer device. ATE requirements for future higher speed devices at OC12/48/192 rates are discussed to overcome the limitations faced during test development of the OC3/STS3 device.

Role of fatty acid synthesis in the control of insulin-stimulated glucose utilization by rat adipocytes. (1981)

A decreased capacity for fatty acid synthesis is associated with a decreased insulin effect on glucose metabolism in large fat cells and fat cells from rats fed a high-fat diet. We have investigated the relationship between these processes by specifically inhibiting fatty acid synthesis with (-)-hydroxycitrate (2.5 mM), an inhibitor of citrate cleavage enzyme, and cerulenin (0.05 mM), an inhibitor of fatty acid synthetase. (-)-Hydroxycitrate and cerulenin decreased maximally insulin-stimulated fatty acid synthesis from [6-(14)C]glucose to 10% and 25% of controls, respectively, while only (-)-hydroxycitrate decreased basal values. Oxidation of [1-(14)C]glucose in the presence of insulin was markedly depressed by each inhibitor. Thus, the percent increase over basal value was decreased from 540% in controls to 151% and 154% by (-)-hydroxycitrate and cerulenin, respectively. In contrast, oxidation of [6-(14)C]glucose was slightly enhanced by both inhibitors. Thus, oxidation of glucose via the pentose shunt was reduced, while Krebs cycle oxidation was unaffected. Basal and insulin-stimulated incorporation of [1-(14)C]glucose and [6-(14)C]glucose into glyceride-glycerol and basal lactate production was unchanged by the inhibition of fatty acid synthesis. Insulin-stimulated lactate production was halved by the inhibition of fatty acid synthesis. Total glucose utilization, as assessed by measuring the disappearance of glucose from the medium, was not detectably changed by inhibiting fatty acid synthesis under basal conditions, but insulin-stimulated values were decreased to 52% and 64% of control by (-)-hydroxycitrate and cerulenin, respectively. This occurred despite the fact that neither agent affected the initial rate of 2-deoxyglucose uptake, or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase or 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activities. These data therefore provide direct evidence that a limitation of the fatty acid synthetic pathway decreases the ability of insulin to stimulate both pentose shunt glucose oxidation and overall glucose utilization, but not Krebs cycle oxidation or glyceride-glycerol synthesis. The enzymatic capacity of the fat cell for fatty acid synthesis is therefore an important determinant of insulin-stimulated glucose utilization.-Fried, S. K., M. Lavau, and F. X. Pi-Sunyer.

Conformational coupling in DNA polymerase information transfer (1992)

The extraordinary fidelity of DNA replication during forward polymerization and exonuclease error correction is largely a function of a conformational change that occurs in response to a correct dNTP binding to properly base-paired duplex DNA. The conformational change serves as a kinetic barrier to effect the rapid incorporation of correct bases while minimizing the rate of polymerization with incorrect bases and allowing for selective removal of mismatches. However, in spite of the number of attractive features to the conformational change model, the evidence in support of such a rate-limiting step is still subject to significant uncertainty. It is the challenge of further work on DNA polymerases as well as many other enzyme systems to devise new methods to define the transient state of the enzyme during catalysis and to relate the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters to the enzyme structure.
The role of complete response in multiple myeloma (2009)

In multiple myeloma (MM), the impact of complete response (CR) could be shown only after introduction of high-dose therapy plus autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). In the context of ASCT, achieving CR (negative immunofixation and normal bone marrow) or at least very good partial response is associated with longer progression-free survival and in most studies longer survival. With novel agents, high CR rates are achieved and this prognostic impact of CR is being shown as well, both in relapsed and in newly diagnosed MM. However the benefit of CR achievement depends on the type of treatment and is not identical for all patients. In elderly patients, treatments inducing more CR may be more toxic. Although CR achievement is necessary in patients with poor-risk disease, it might not be as critical for long survival in more indolent MM. CR achievement is not the only objective of treatment because it is possible to further improve the depth of response and the outcome by continuing treatment after CR achievement. Finally, there are several levels of CR and in the future it will be necessary to confirm the prognostic impact of immunophenotypic or molecular CR or of CR defined by imaging procedures.
Two NFC interaction techniques for quickly exchanging pictures between a mobile phone and a computer (2009)

Uploading and downloading pictures between a mobile phone and a computer is still a very cumbersome process. Because of this, many users actually do not copy, move or backup their pictures onto another computer until the storage capacity of the mobile phone is reached. This paper presents the prototypes (and respective implementation details) of the touch & connect and touch & select interaction techniques. Both techniques allow the quick and easy exchange of pictures by touching the computer with the mobile device. The first interaction technique: touch & connect, allows the user to touch a computer with their mobile phone in order to establish a Bluetooth connection and initiate a file transfer between the two devices. The second interaction technique: touch & select, extends this concept and allows the selection of a specific picture or location on the computer screen by touching it with the mobile phone. The interaction techniques were implemented using Near Field Communication (NFC) tags attached to the computer and an NFC phone capable of reading those tags.
Induction of serine and threonine protein phosphorylation by endotoxin-associated protein in murine resident peritoneal macrophages (1995)

Endotoxin-associated protein (EP) from Salmonella typhi activated murine resident peritoneal macrophages to produce prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Cells from both endotoxin nonresponder (C3H/HeJ) and the endotoxin responder (C3H/OuJ) mouse strains were activated by EP. This EP-induced prostaglandin E2 production was blocked by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor H-7 as well as the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein, suggesting the involvement of both serine and threonine phosphorylation and tyrosine phosphorylation pathways in the activation of resident peritoneal macrophages by EP. Immunoblot analysis using antiphosphoserine and antiphosphothreonine antibodies showed that EP induced the serine and threonine phosphorylation of a 14-kDa protein (p14). This phosphorylation was not induced by phorbol myristic acid or by lipopolysaccharide endotoxin. Inhibitors of PKC, PKA, and PKG did not block the phosphorylation of p14. However, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor piceatannol blocked p14 serine and threonine phosphorylation, suggesting that this phosphorylation is dependent upon and preceded by a tyrosine phosphorylation step.
[Construction of combinatorial immune library of single chain human antibodies to orthopoxviruses and selection from this library antibodies to recombinant protein prA30L of variola virus]. (2007)

A combinatorial immune library of human single-chain antibody fragments (scFv) was constructed on the base of genes encoding variable domains of heavy and light chains of immunoglobulins cloned from the lymphocytes of four vaccinia virus (VACV) vaccinated donors. The size of the library was 3 x 10(7) independent clones. After the library was enriched with the clones producing scFv against recombinant analogue of variola virus surface protein prA30L, a panel of unique antibodies specific to both prA30L and VACV was selected from the library. A plaque reduction neutralization test was performed for all selected antibodies and two antibodies were shown to be able to neutralize plaque formation of VACV in Vero E6 cells monolayer. Binding specificities of these antibodies were confirmed using ELISA and Western blot analysis. To determine the amino acid sequences of neutralizing antibodies their genes were sequenced.
Haemophilia A mutations in the UK: results of screening one‐third of the population (2008)

One-third of the UK haemophilia A population was screened to establish a national database of mutations and pedigrees and advance knowledge of the disease. The following mutations were found: 131 intron 22- and 13 intron1-breaking inversions; 11 gross deletions and an insertion; 65 frameshifts; three in-frame deletions and one insertion; 46 nonsense; 30 intronic mutations affecting splice sites and four generating new sites; 469 non-synonymous mutations due to 203 different base substitutions of which four affected, and nine were predicted to affect, splicing; three promoter mutations; two synonymous exon 14 mutations possibly affecting splicing; two VWF mutations. Of the above mutations, 176 are not listed in the Haemophilia A Mutation, Structure, Test and Resource Site (HAMSTeRS). Four gross deletions arose by non-homologous end-joining; we detected unexpected splicing in some mutations; substitution of amino acids conserved for less than 90 million years are rare; the risk of developing inhibitors for patients with nonsense mutations is greater when the stop codon is in the 3' half of the mRNA; changes likely to generate splice sites causing frameshifts are over-represented among non-synonymous mutations associated with inhibitors; our data and those in HAMSTeRS enabled the size of the spectrum of specific mutations causing the disease to be estimated and to determine how much of it is known.

Control: The Fourth Psychological Hunger (2000)

This article asserts that the desire for control is a natural psychological hunger, satisfied by empowerment, stability, and connection. The natural urge to develop a healthy psyche that has the “muscle” to create psychological safety and security is suggested as an addition to Berne's three basic psychological hungers. The distinction between healthy positive control and unhealthy neurotic control is an important factor in understanding what motivates human behavior. When healthy control is not achieved, rather than experience helplessness, confusion, and isolation—which is akin to psychological death—people will adopt neurotic control methods. New therapeutic techniques for addressing this issue in therapy are described.
The Economics of farm relocation (1962)

Urban and suburban areas are moving closer to many California farms. More people create additional trouble and expense that may cause the farmer to consider selling and either moving to a new location or using the money to invest in other businesses. Any farmer facing such a decision should know the facts about relocation—how much his land is worth, how much actual profit he can make from its sale and how to go about the complicated process of selling.
Distillation Blending and Cutpoint Temperature Optimization Using Monotonic Interpolation (2014)

A novel technique using monotonic interpolation to blend and cut distillation temperatures and evaporations for petroleum fuels in an optimization environment is proposed. Blending distillation temperatures are well-known in simulations whereby cumulative evaporations at specific temperatures are mixed together; these data points are used in piece-wise cubic spline interpolations to revert back to the distillation temperatures. Our method replaces the splines with monotonic splines to eliminate the well-known oscillation effect called Runge’s phenomenon, and to allow the distillation curve itself to be adjusted by optimizing its initial and final boiling points known as cutpoints. By optimizing both the recipes of the blended material and its blending component distillation curves, very significant benefits can be achieved, especially given the global push toward ultralow sulfur fuels (ULSF), because of the increase in natural gas plays, reducing the demand for other oil distillates. Four examples are provided to highlight and demonstrate the technique, where we have good agreement between the predicted and actual evaporation curves of the blends.
