Automated Generation of Work Spaces Required by Construction Activities (2002)

To provide a safe and productive environment, project managers need to plan for the work spaces required by construction activities. Work space planning involves representing various types of spaces required by construction activities in three dimensions and across time. Since a construction schedule consists of hundreds of activities requiring multiple types of spaces, it is practically impossible to expect project managers to specify manually the spatiotemporal data necessary to represent work spaces in four dimensions. This paper presents mechanisms that automatically generate project-specific work spaces from a generic work space ontology and a project-specific IFC (industry foundation class) based 4D production model. The generation of these work spaces leads to a space-loaded production model. Within this model, work spaces are represented as being related to the relevant construction activities and methods and as having attributes that describe when, where, and how long they exist, and how much volume they occupy. These space-loaded production models enable richer 4D CAD simulations, time-space conflict analysis, and proactive work space planning prior to construction.
Virtual Pilot-Based Channel Estimation and Multiuser Detection for Multiuser MIMO in LTE-Advanced (2016)

Multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) transmission technique based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system has been received great deal of attention in recent years due to its potential higher spectral efficiency. However, because of the accuracy of channel state information, co-scheduled mobile users may suffer large residual multiuser interference in MU-MIMO system. In this paper, we propose a new channel estimation technique using expectation and maximization (EM) algorithm with reliable soft symbols for the MU-MIMO systems in LTE- Advanced. In the proposed scheme, we choose reliable data tones from both desired and interfering signals and improves the channel estimation quality using iterative process between channel estimation and data detection in frequency domain. We show that the proposed method achieves substantial performance gain over conventional channel estimation approaches.
Sugar Production from Hybrid Poplar Sawdust: Optimization of Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Wet Explosion Pretreatment (2020)

Wet explosion pretreatment of hybrid poplar sawdust (PSD) for the production of fermentable sugar was carried out in the pilot-scale. The effects of pretreatment conditions, such as temperature (170-190 °C), oxygen dosage (0.5-7.5% of dry matter (DM), <i>w</i>/<i>w</i>), residence time (10-30 min), on cellulose and hemicellulose digestibility after enzymatic hydrolysis were ascertained with a central composite design of the experiment. Further, enzymatic hydrolysis was optimized in terms of temperature, pH, and a mixture of CTec2 and HTec2 enzymes (Novozymes). Predictive modeling showed that cellulose and hemicellulose digestibility of 75.1% and 83.1%, respectively, could be achieved with a pretreatment at 177 °C with 7.5% O<sub>2</sub> and a retention time of 30 min. An increased cellulose digestibility of 87.1% ± 0.1 could be achieved by pretreating at 190 °C; however, the hemicellulose yield would be significantly reduced. It was evident that more severe conditions were required for maximal cellulose digestibility than that of hemicellulose digestibility and that an optimal sugar yield demanded a set of conditions, which overall resulted in the maximum sugar yield.
Ammonia Electrooxidation on NiPd Nanoparticles in Alkaline Media: Effect of pH and Concentration (2013)

Ammonia electrooxidation on NiPd nanoparticles with 99:1 nominal atomic composition is investigated in NaNO3 at different pH and NH4NO3 concentrations. As-prepared NiPd has very low to no activity towards this reaction, whereas the catalytic activity of NiPd can be significantly improved by building up a layer of Ni(OH)2 by continuous cycling in NaNO3 at pH 9 in -0.95 to +1.35 V vs. HgO/Hg. Cyclic voltammetry shows that ammonia oxidation on Ni(OH)2/NiPd occurs around 1.28 V vs. HgO/Hg and is highly pH-dependent. Direct and indirect electron transfer mechanisms are discussed: at low ammonia concentration (&lt; 100 mM) the direct electron transfer takes place, whereas indirect electron transfer mechanism is believed to occur at higher concentrations. The stability of the electrooxidation reaction is evaluated by chronoamperometry. 12-hours electrolysis at 10 mA.cm-2 showed 22 % of initial ammonia is mainly transformed into nitrogen, with traces of NO2 (1.6 %) and NO3 (0.9 %).
A Novel Diagnostic Marker: Proteasome LMP2/1i-Differential Expression in Human Uterus Mesenchymal Tumor (2013)

Uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) develops more often in the muscle tissue layer of the uterine body than in the uterine cervix. The development of gynecologic tumors is often correlated with female hormone secretion; however, the development of uterine LMS is not substantially correlated with hormonal conditions, and the risk factors are not yet known. Importantly, a diagnostic-biomarker, which distinguishes malignant LMS from benign tumor leiomyoma (LMA), is yet to be established. Accordingly, it is necessary to analyze risk factors associated with uterine LMS, to establish a treatment method. Proteasome LMP2/1i-deficient mice spontaneously develop uterine LMS, with a disease prevalence of ~40% by 14 months of age. We found LMP2/1i expression to be absent in human LMS, but present in human LMA. Therefore, defec-tive-LMP2/1i expression may be one of the risk factors for LMS. LMP2/1i is a potential diagnostic-biomarker under the combination of candidate molecules for uterine mesenchymal tumors, especially uterine LMS, and may be a tar-geted-molecule for a new therapeutic approach.

The absorbtion distribution as a variable property during laser beam cutting (1988)

The laser cutting process is essentially effected by the laser beam parameters such as power, mode, polarization, focal position and beam divergence. They determine the geometry and the absorption behaviour of the cutting front and correlate strongly with the practicable cutting speed and the obtainable quality of the cut. To get a fundamental understanding of these correlations, in a first step, the distribution of the absorbed laser intensity is calculated under the presumption of a three dimensional cutting front model by applying the Fresnel formalism. The resulting theoretical influence of the above mentioned parameters on the integral and homogeneity of the absorption distribution within the cutting front co-ordinate system makes experimental results explicable and yields a new insight into the process. Calculations of the power balance, considering also an estimation of heat losses and appropriate cutting experiments on various metallic materials are in accordance with the predicted average absorptivity of the idealized cutting front. In a second step, the combination of absorption and power balance calculations leads to a self-consistent three dimensional model of laser beam cutting which delivers the parameter dependances of the stationary cutting front.
Femtosecond laser interferometric processing of Nd:GGG planar optical waveguide (2003)

Surface relief type gratings for input laser coupling were fabricated on the PLD deposited 2 at.%Nd:GGG thin film optical waveguide by femtosecond laser interferometric processing. The morphology and coupling efficiency were experimentally evaluated. A clear periodic structure with a fringe period of approximately 800 nm and height of approximately 100 nm was obtained for a surface relief type grating induced on the target surface with a fluence of 0.92 Jcm<sup>-2</sup>. The coupling efficiency of an 808 nm-centered laser diode pumping light into the 1.35 &mu;m thick film was measured as a function of the incident angle. Three coupling peaks were observed at 57&deg;, 65&deg; and 77&deg;, each being the coupling to the TE<sub>0</sub>, TE<sub>1</sub> and TE<sub>2</sub> modes respectively. Each peak had a large FWHM and a maximum coupling efficiency was 3%.
Reinforcement Learning Predicts the Site of Plasticity for Auditory Remapping in the Barn Owl (1994)

The auditory system of the barn owl contains several spatial maps. In young barn owls raised with optical prisms over their eyes, these auditory maps are shifted to stay in register with the visual map, suggesting that the visual input imposes a frame of reference on the auditory maps. However, the optic tectum, the first site of convergence of visual with auditory information, is not the site of plasticity for the shift of the auditory maps; the plasticity occurs instead in the inferior colliculus, which contains an auditory map and projects into the optic tectum. We explored a model of the owl remapping in which a global reinforcement signal whose delivery is controlled by visual foveation. A hebb learning rule gated by reinforcement learned to appropriately adjust auditory maps. In addition, reinforcement learning preferentially adjusted the weights in the inferior colliculus, as in the owl brain, even though the weights were allowed to change throughout the auditory system. This observation raises the possibility that the site of learning does not have to be genetically specified, but could be determined by how the learning procedure interacts with the network architecture.

Surface Segregation in Solid Oxide Electrode Materials Occurring at Intermediate Temperatures (2015)

The segregation of constituent elements and impurities affects the surface composition of solid oxide electrode materials, and hence, the rate of the surface exchange reaction. In this work, we compare segregation occurring at 400 °C in Pr 0.5 Sr 0.5 CoO 3-δ (PSCO) and PrBaCo 2 O 5-δ (PBCO). The surface composition changes rapidly on annealing at low temperature, with segregation of the divalent cation evident after just 15 minutes. The PBCO contained a Na impurity which undergoes similar segregation behavior to the Ba, becoming the dominant surface cation after 2 hours of annealing. Although cation mobility in these materials is slow compared to oxygen, it is sufficient to cause significant changes in surface composition on timescales of the order of hours.
Group A, B, C, and G Streptococcus Lancefield antigen biosynthesis is initiated by a conserved α-d-GlcNAc-β-1,4-l-rhamnosyltransferase (2019)

Group A carbohydrate (GAC) is a bacterial peptidoglycan-anchored surface rhamnose polysaccharide (RhaPS) that is essential for growth of <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> and contributes to its ability to infect the human host. In this study, using molecular and synthetic biology approaches, biochemistry, radiolabeling techniques, and NMR and MS analyses, we examined the role of GacB, encoded in the <i>S. pyogenes</i> GAC gene cluster, in the GAC biosynthesis pathway. We demonstrate that GacB is the first characterized α-d-GlcNAc-β-1,4-l-rhamnosyltransferase that synthesizes the committed step in the biosynthesis of the GAC virulence determinant. Importantly, the substitution of <i>S. pyogenes gacB</i> with the homologous gene from <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i> (Group B <i>Streptococcus</i>), <i>Streptococcus equi</i> subsp. <i>zooepidemicus</i> (Group C <i>Streptococcus</i>), <i>Streptococcus dysgalactiae</i> subsp. <i>equisimilis</i> (Group G <i>Streptococcus</i>), or <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> complemented the GAC biosynthesis pathway. These results, combined with those from extensive <i>in silico</i> studies, reveal a common phylogenetic origin of the genes required for this priming step in >40 pathogenic species of the <i>Streptococcus</i> genus, including members from the Lancefield Groups B, C, D, E, G, and H. Importantly, this priming step appears to be unique to streptococcal ABC transporter-dependent RhaPS biosynthesis, whereas the Wzx/Wzy-dependent streptococcal capsular polysaccharide pathways instead require an α-d-Glc-β-1,4-l-rhamnosyltransferase. The insights into the RhaPS priming step obtained here open the door to targeting the early steps of the group carbohydrate biosynthesis pathways in species of the <i>Streptococcus</i> genus of high clinical and veterinary importance.
Automatic musical genre classification using sparsity-eager support vector machines (2012)

Constructing robust categorical and typological classifiers, i.e., finding auditory constructs utilized for describing music categories, is an important problem in music genre classification. Supervised methods such as support vector machine (SVM) achieve state of the art performance for genre classification but suffer from over-fitting on training examples. In this paper, we introduce a supervised classifier, l-SVM, that utilizes sparse methods to deal with over-fitting for genre classification. We compare the proposed algorithm to competing learning methods such as SVM, logistic regression, and l-regression for genre classification. Experimental results suggest that the proposed method using short-time audio features (MFCCs) outperforms the baseline algorithms in terms of the average classification accuracy rate of musical genres.
Mechanical prophylaxis: Bacterial colonisation and sterilisation (2003)

Mechanical forms of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis have been shown to be effective. One factor that has reduced their widespread acceptance is the relatively high cost. Multi-use would greatly reduce the cost but could increase risks of cross-infection. We have investigated the bacterial load on boots after a single use and identified many species of bacteria including multi-resistant strains and others implicated in hospital- acquired infection. These could represent a considerable risk during multi-use. In the second part of the study we have investigated ways of sterilising the boots and have found ethylene oxide to be a low cost and completely effective method of sterilisation.

Switching microobjects from low to high aspect ratios using a shape-memory effect (2021)

Spherical particles from shape-memory polymers (SMP) can be stretched to ellipsoids with high aspect ratio (AR) and temporarily stabilized. They can switch back to low AR upon thermal stimulation. Here, the creation of an alternative shape-switching capability of particles from low to high AR is introduced, where a SMP matrix from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is used to create crosslinked high AR particles and to program the embedded micrometer-sized particles from a second SMP (oligo(ε-caprolactone) micronetworks, MN) with a low switching temperature <i>T</i><sub>sw</sub>. This programming proceeds through shape-recovery of the PVA matrix, from which the MN are harvested by PVA matrix dissolution. The use of a dissolvable SMP matrix may be a general strategy to efficiently create systems with complex moving capabilities.
Scratch Migration Assay and Dorsal Skinfold Chamber for In Vitro and In Vivo Analysis of Wound Healing (2019)

Impaired cutaneous wound healing is a major concern for patients suffering from diabetes and for elderly people, and there is a need for an effective treatment. Appropriate in vitro and in vivo approaches are essential for the identification of new target molecules for drug treatments to improve the skin wound healing process. We identified the β3 subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels (Cavβ3) as a potential target molecule to influence the wound healing in two independent assays, i.e., the in vitro scratch migration assay and the in vivo dorsal skinfold chamber model. Primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) acutely isolated from wild-type (WT) and Cavβ3-deficient mice (Cavβ3 KO) or fibroblasts acutely isolated from WT mice treated with siRNA to down-regulate the expression of the Cacnb3 gene, encoding Cavβ3, were used. A scratch was applied on a confluent cell monolayer and the gap closure was followed by taking microscopic images at defined time points until complete repopulation of the gap by the migrating cells. These images were analyzed, and the cell migration rate was determined for each condition. In an in vivo assay, we implanted a dorsal skinfold chamber on WT and Cavβ3 KO mice, applied a defined circular wound of 2 mm diameter, covered the wound with a glass coverslip to protect it from infections and desiccation, and monitored the macroscopic wound closure over time. Wound closure was significantly faster in Cacnb3-gene-deficient mice. Because the results of the in vivo and the in vitro assays correlate well, the in vitro assay may be useful for the high-throughput screening before validating the in vitro hits by the in vivo wound healing model. What we have shown here for wild-type and Cavβ3-deficient mice or cells might also be applicable for specific molecules other than Cavβ3.
Comparative Bactericidal Activities of Daptomycin and Vancomycin against Glycopeptide-Intermediate <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (GISA) and Heterogeneous GISA Isolates (2006)

Staphylococcus aureus strains from the U.S. SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program, 2002-2003, glycopeptide-intermediate S. aureus (GISA) strains, and heterogeneous GISA (hGISA) strains were used to compare bactericidal activities of daptomycin and vancomycin using MICs and minimum bactericidal concentrations. Glycopeptide-susceptible S. aureus and hGISA strains were further studied by using time-kill curves. For all isolates, the daptomycin MIC50 and MIC90 are four times lower and the log drops in viable counts at 6 h and 24 h are significantly greater than those for vancomycin.

NFκB signaling in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (2017)

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS) is a pediatric soft tissue cancer commonly associated with a chromosomal translocation that leads to the expression of a Pax3:Foxo1 or Pax7:Foxo1 fusion protein, the developmental underpinnings of which may give clues to its therapeutic approaches. In aRMS, the NFκB-YY1-miR-29 regulatory circuit is dysregulated, resulting in repression of <i>miR-29</i> and loss of the associated tumor suppressor activity. To further elucidate the role of NFκB in aRMS, we first tested 55 unique sarcoma cell lines and primary cell cultures in a large-scale chemical screen targeting diverse molecular pathways. We found that pharmacological inhibition of NFκB activity resulted in decreased cell proliferation of many of the aRMS tumor cultures. Surprisingly, mice that were orthotopically allografted with aRMS tumor cells exhibited no difference in tumor growth when administered an NFκB inhibitor, compared to control. Furthermore, inhibition of NFκB by genetically ablating its activating kinase inhibitor, <i>IKKβ</i>, by conditional deletion in a mouse model harboring the <i>Pax3:Foxo1</i> chimeric oncogene failed to abrogate spontaneous tumor growth. Genetically engineered mice with conditionally deleted <i>IKKβ</i> exhibited a paradoxical decrease in tumor latency compared with those with active NFκB. However, using a synthetic-lethal approach, primary cell cultures derived from tumors with inactivated NFκB showed sensitivity to the BCL-2 inhibitor navitoclax. When used in combination with an NFκB inhibitor, navitoclax was synergistic in decreasing the growth of both human and <i>IKKβ</i> wild-type mouse aRMS cells, indicating that inactivation of NFκB alone may not be sufficient for reducing tumor growth, but, when combined with another targeted therapeutic, may be clinically beneficial.
