An integrated security system of protecting Smart Grid against cyber attacks (2010)

Like any other industry sector, the electrical power industry is facing challenges involved with the increasing demand for interconnected system operations and control under the restructured electrical industry due to deregulation of the electrical market and the trend of the Smart Grid . This moves automation networks from outdated, proprietary, closed networks to the more current arena of Information Technology (IT). However, while gaining all of the cost and performance benefits of IT, existing IT security challenges are acquired as well. The power grid automation network has inherent security risks due to the fact that the systems and applications in the network were not originally designed for the general IT environment. In this paper, we propose a conceptual layered framework for protecting power grid automation systems against cyber attacks. The following factors are taken into account: 1) integration with existing, legacy systems in a non-intrusive fashion; 2) desirable performance in terms of modularity, scalability, extendibility, and manageability; 3) alignment to the “Roadmap to Secure Control Systems in the Energy Sector” [12] and the future intelligent power delivery systems [2,3,11]. The on-site test result of the system prototype is briefly presented as well.
Optimal Fair Opportunistic Scheduling For Wireless Systems Via Classification Framework (2015)

In this work, we exploit historical channel data via linear programming and machine learning tools to perform opportunistic scheduling for multiuser wireless systems under temporal fairness constraints. We first derive linear program-based scheduling (LPS) algorithms that compute the scheduling decisions from a window of past user metrics. The proposed linear program scheduling policies approach the optimal policy as the window size gets large. However, as demonstrated via simulations, even with a short window, the performance of the proposed policies can be very close to optimal. For stationary environments, we introduce a new interpretation of the scheduling problem that casts the resource allocation problem as one of statistical classification. We then propose a novel supervised classification-based scheduling (SCS) framework, which uses the LPS decisions to obtain labeled samples for training a multiclass classifier and obtaining optimal scheduling decision boundaries. In addition, as applications of the proposed classification framework, we devise efficient classification methods to learn the scheduling offsets for existing offset-driven scheduling policies.
Dynamic electro-thermal behavioral model for RF power amplifiers (2003)

Electrical and electro-thermal memory effects influence significantly the performance of RF power amplifiers and predistortion-based linearizers as signal bandwidth and operation power increase. In this paper, we present an electro-thermal behavior model for RF power amplifiers. Input and output time domain waveforms have been used to identify the PAs model parameters. Measurements that have been conducted on a 90-watt peak LDMOS power amplifier were found to be in good agreement with those obtained from a simulation that uses the model developed and implemented in ADS environment.
Local food governance and territorial development: the case of Echt Texels Lamvless initiative (2023)

Nowadays, agriculture and food policies are trying to re-organise and re-shape production, processing, and consumption of food in Europe. These regulations answer to different models and come from different regulatory actors, such as the State or the European Commission. They promote specific institutional frameworks that may support the creation of nested markets controlled by local communities or commodity markets controlled by agro-food empires. Our paper demonstrates that nested markets are the right response for market failures. They successfully support local food governance and promote sustainable territorial development through the collective management of the common pool resource (CPRs).

Effect of high-pressure annealing on magnetoresistance in manganese perovskites (2005)

Through high-pressure (HP) annealing, a large enhancement of the magnetoresistance (MR) has been achieved for polycrystalline La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 samples over a wide range of temperature at low applied magnetic fields. Moreover, the HP-annealed samples exhibit much lower resistivity and higher metal-insulator transition temperatures. Interestingly, the low-field MR (LFMR*) values at 5K of such HP-annealed samples are found to reach as high as 45%, significantly exceeding a theoretical upper limit of 33% based on the second-order tunneling through interfacial spin sites for the polycrystalline manganese oxides. We attribute the enhanced LFMR* to the effect of HP annealing that makes the grain boundary thinner and thus allows a large fraction of eg electrons tunnel directly across the grain boundary rather than by a two-step hop process.
Single Headed Attention Based Sequence-to-Sequence Model for State-of-the-Art Results on Switchboard (2020)

It is generally believed that direct sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) speech recognition models are competitive with hybrid models only when a large amount of data, at least a thousand hours, is available for training. In this paper, we show that state-of-the-art recognition performance can be achieved on the Switchboard-300 database using a single headed attention, LSTM based model. Using a cross-utterance language model, our single-pass speaker independent system reaches 6.4% and 12.5% word error rate (WER) on the Switchboard and CallHome subsets of Hub5'00, without a pronunciation lexicon. While careful regularization and data augmentation are crucial in achieving this level of performance, experiments on Switchboard-2000 show that nothing is more useful than more data. Overall, the combination of various regularizations and a simple but fairly large model results in a new state of the art, 4.7% and 7.8% WER on the Switchboard and CallHome sets, using SWB-2000 without any external data resources.
Deep Hyperspectral-Depth Reconstruction Using Single Color-Dot Projection (2022)

Depth reconstruction and hyperspectral reflectance reconstruction are two active research topics in computer vision and image processing. Conventionally, these two topics have been studied separately using independent imaging setups and there is no existing method which can acquire depth and spectral reflectance simultaneously in one shot without using special hardware. In this paper, we propose a novel single-shot hyperspectral-depth reconstruction method using an off-the-shelf RGB camera and projector. Our method is based on a single color-dot projection, which simultaneously acts as structured light for depth reconstruction and spatially-varying color illuminations for hyperspectral reflectance reconstruction. To jointly reconstruct the depth and the hyperspectral reflectance from a single color-dot image, we propose a novel end-to-end network architecture that effectively incorporates a geometric color-dot pattern loss and a photometric hyperspectral reflectance loss. Through the experiments, we demonstrate that our hyperspectral-depth reconstruction method outperforms the combination of an existing state-of-the-art single-shot hyperspectral reflectance reconstruction method and depth reconstruction method.
Progress on the Pseudo-Binary (Al2O3)3(TiO2)2-System for Surface Passivation of P-Type Silicon (2006)

It was found now that a treatment at high temperature (720degC-1000degC) in oxygen substantially reduces this degradation. The influence of temperature, oxygen flow and duration of the treatment on the effective lifetime is studied, as are effects occuring at the PBA/Si interface. A first optimization of this process leads to surface recombination velocities below 150 cm/s on low-resistivity FZ material and around 300 cm/s on CZ months after deposition. Experiments on the exact nature of the degradation mechanism are ongoing

Accurate wireless indoor position estimation by using hybrid TDOA/RSS algorithm (2012)

Location Determination in an indoor environment is a challenge being faced by wireless industries. The concept of the indoor geolocation was established in order to provide the user's location inside buildings during an emergency where global navigation satellite system (GNSS) services are not available. Keeping public safety in mind, it is important not only to estimate the position, but also to provide a high level of reliability. The paper presents practical results and issues related to the accuracy of an indoor geolocation system, which uses a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) signal at a 2.45 GHz carrier frequency. This experiment employs a hybrid Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) / Received Signal Strength (RSS) algorithm and a TDOA only algorithm. Practical results indicate that the positioning performance is improved by using the hybrid TDOA/RSS algorithm as compared to the TDOA only algorithm.
Emotional Intensity analysis in Bipolar subjects (2016)

The massive availability of digital repositories of human thought opens radical novel way of studying the human mind. Natural language processing tools and computational models have evolved such that many mental conditions are predicted by analysing speech. Transcription of interviews and discourses are analyzed using syntactic, grammatical or sentiment analysis to infer the mental state. Here we set to investigate if classification of Bipolar and control subjects is possible. We develop the Emotion Intensity Index based on the Dictionary of Affect, and find that subjects categories are distinguishable. Using classical classification techniques we get more than 75\% of labeling performance. These results sumed to previous studies show that current automated speech analysis is capable of identifying altered mental states towards a quantitative psychiatry.
Quasi-Frozen Orbits Around a Slowly Rotating Asteroid (2018)

The purpose of this study is to identify orbits with quasi-constant orbital elements around a slowly rotating asteroid. To this end, a recurrence approach has been developed to formulate the high-order averaged disturbing potential. The order of the model can be determined based on the irregularity of the asteroid and the required accuracy. The proposed approach presents significant advantages in studying long-term behaviors around asteroids where the second degree and order gravity model fails or does not work well. The averaged model has been applied to an ellipsoid-shaped asteroid, and families of nearly circular orbits with constant inclination and longitude of the ascending node in the body-fixed frame have been determined, as functions of semimajor axis, inclination, and rotation period of the asteroid. Finally, by transforming the mean elements into the corresponding osculating elements, the obtained frozen solutions have been propagated in the full model, where they become quasi-frozen.
Adjusting the stickiness of concentrated pea protein – apple pectin systems via the biopolymer mixing ratio (2022)

Stickiness is the combination of adhesion and cohesion and key characteristic for binders in foods to combine particulates into a coherent mass. We investigated the influence of mixing ratio of pea protein and apple pectin powders (w/w) at pH 6 on stickiness by assessing textural, rheological, and binding properties of a concentrated suspension (25 wt% powder concentration). The elastic but soft texture of a pea protein suspension alone showed cohesive failure with low stickiness in line with limited viscous properties. A pectin suspension also showed low stickiness, but with an adhesive failure, which was due to the hard and stiff nature of the matrix preventing sufficient adhesive interactions. However, mixtures of pea proteins and apple pectin with multiphase morphologies displayed a balanced combination of viscous and elastic properties, which was beneficial for stickiness. In particular, the mixture with 67% pea proteins and 33% apple pectin showed a distinct frequency dependence in their rheological moduli. Viscous properties dominated at low frequencies improving bond formation (adhesion), while elastic properties became more important at high frequencies opposing stress acting against the bond (cohesion). This study highlights the importance of a characteristic viscoelasticity for stickiness of pressure-sensitive adhesives and how it can be tailored through biopolymer mixing.
A Directory-Based Scalable General-Purpose Shared-Memory Multiprocessor (1998)

Preoperative and intraoperative assessment of myometrial invasion in endometrial cancer: comparison of magnetic resonance imaging and frozen sections (2012)

In assessment of MI, the accuracy of frozen sections was significantly higher than that of MRI. Since the diagnostic characteristics differ between two methods, additional intraoperative frozen sections are recommended for more accurate assessment of MI when MRI is negative for the presence of any MI or positive for the presence of deep invasion.

Zero Spontaneous Curvature and Its Effects on Lamellar Phase Morphology and Vesicle Size Distributions (2006)

Equimolar mixtures of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) and sodium octyl sulfonate (SOSo) show a vesicle phase at >99 wt % water and a single, fluid lamellar phase for water fractions below 80 wt %. This combination is consistent with the bilayer bending elasticity kappa approximately k(B)T and zero bilayer spontaneous curvature. Caillé line shape analysis of the small-angle X-ray scattering from the lamellar phase shows that the effective kappa depends on the lamellar d spacing consistent with a logarithmic renormalization of kappa, with kappa(o) = (0.8 +/- 0.1)k(B)T. The vesicle size distribution determined by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy is well fit by models with zero spontaneous curvature to give (kappa + (kappa/2)) = (1.7 +/- 0.1)k(B)T, resulting in kappa = (1.8 +/- 0.2)k(B)T. The positive value of kappa and the lack of spontaneous curvature act to eliminate the spherulite defects found in the lamellar gel phases found in other catanionic mixtures. Current theories of spontaneous bilayer curvature require an excess of one or more components on opposite sides of the bilayer; the absence of such an excess at equimolar surfactant ratios explains the zero spontaneous curvature.

Multiple RNA- and DNA-binding proteins exhibit direct transfer of polynucleotides with implications for target-site search (2023)

We previously demonstrated that the polycomb repressive complex 2 chromatin-modifying enzyme can directly transfer between RNA and DNA without a free-enzyme intermediate state. Simulations suggested that such a direct transfer mechanism may be generally necessary for RNA to recruit proteins to chromatin, but the prevalence of direct transfer capability is unknown. Herein, we used fluorescence polarization assays and observed direct transfer for several well-characterized nucleic acid-binding proteins: three-prime repair exonuclease 1, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U, Fem-3-binding factor 2, and MS2 bacteriophage coat protein. For TREX1, the direct transfer mechanism was additionally observed in single-molecule assays, and the data suggest that direct transfer occurs through an unstable ternary intermediate with partially associated polynucleotides. Generally, direct transfer could allow many DNA- and RNA-binding proteins to conduct a one-dimensional search for their target sites. Furthermore, proteins that bind both RNA and DNA might be capable of readily translocating between those ligands.
La mission militaire française de l’aéronautique au Japon (1919-1921) (2014)

Dès le début des relations entre la France et le Japon dans les années 1860, le domaine militaire joue un rôle prépondérant. La France apporte au Japon ses technologies et son savoir-faire, dispensé sur place par ses ingénieurs, et fournit le matériel d’armement le plus récent : ainsi, de 1865 à 1876, construction de l’arsenal de Yokosuka ; de 1867 à 1868, première mission militaire française au Japon ; de 1872 à 1880, deuxième mission militaire ; de 1884 à 1889, troisième mission militaire ;...
<title>New Approaches Towards Quantitative Echography</title> (1982)

Among all the acoustic parameters of a biological tissue, the attenuation is an indicator sensitive to the pathology of an organ. Considering the basic non stationary properties of the ultrasonic signal caused by the filtering effect of the biological medium as well as by diffraction phenomena, a time-frequency representation of the signal, such as the short time Fourier analysis, is needed. The use of indicators such as the centroid of the running power spectrum allows then to evaluate the attenuation, at a local scale. Other algorithms based on the A line intensity measurements in selected frequency bands provide also the attenuation as well as information on the statistical properties of the medium. It will be shown that the effect of the system (diffraction and transducer acoustoelectric response) can be partially deconvolved.
Non-viral precision T cell receptor replacement for personalized cell therapy (2022)

T cell receptors (TCRs) enable T cells to specifically recognize mutations in cancer cells<sup>1-3</sup>. Here we developed a clinical-grade approach based on CRISPR-Cas9 non-viral precision genome-editing to simultaneously knockout the two endogenous TCR genes TRAC (which encodes TCRα) and TRBC (which encodes TCRβ). We also inserted into the TRAC locus two chains of a neoantigen-specific TCR (neoTCR) isolated from circulating T cells of patients. The neoTCRs were isolated using a personalized library of soluble predicted neoantigen-HLA capture reagents. Sixteen patients with different refractory solid cancers received up to three distinct neoTCR transgenic cell products. Each product expressed a patient-specific neoTCR and was administered in a cell-dose-escalation, first-in-human phase I clinical trial ( NCT03970382 ). One patient had grade 1 cytokine release syndrome and one patient had grade 3 encephalitis. All participants had the expected side effects from the lymphodepleting chemotherapy. Five patients had stable disease and the other eleven had disease progression as the best response on the therapy. neoTCR transgenic T cells were detected in tumour biopsy samples after infusion at frequencies higher than the native TCRs before infusion. This study demonstrates the feasibility of isolating and cloning multiple TCRs that recognize mutational neoantigens. Moreover, simultaneous knockout of the endogenous TCR and knock-in of neoTCRs using single-step, non-viral precision genome-editing are achieved. The manufacture of neoTCR engineered T cells at clinical grade, the safety of infusing up to three gene-edited neoTCR T cell products and the ability of the transgenic T cells to traffic to the tumours of patients are also demonstrated.
