<title>Correlation Of Images With Random Contrast Reversals</title> (1980)

The problem of correlating images with random contrast reversals is considered. This problem arises mainly in registration of Multi-Sensor or Multi-Temporal imagery for applications such as Missile Guidance, Map Matching, Map Differencing and alike. A new approach to the registration performance analysis is presented, which enables the choice of both an appropriate processor configuration and optimal parameters - so as to maximize some common performance measures. The mathematical model, developed to depict the problem, not only leads to the formal solution but also provides insight into the physical relationships involved. A hybrid Optical/Digital processor is considered for the hardware implementation because their respective proven advantages seem to complement each other for this specific use. preliminary experimental results, in support of the theoretical work, are reported.
Cross-Layer Quality of Service Support for UWB Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (2008)

Wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) are networks of wirelessly interconnected devices that allow retrieving video and audio streams, still images, and scalar sensor data. WMSN require the sensor network paradigm to be rethought in view of the need for mechanisms to deliver multimedia content with a pre-defined level of quality of service (QoS). In this paper, a new cross-layer communication architecture based on the time-hopping impulse radio ultra wide band technology is described, designed to reliably and flexibly deliver QoS to heterogeneous applications in WMSNs, by leveraging and controlling interactions among different layers of the protocol stack according to applications requirements. Simulations show that the proposed system achieves the performance objectives of WMSNs without sacrificing on design modularity.
Media independent service for software-defined radio access networks (2017)

In recent days, Software-defined networking paradigm, characterized by a clear separation of the control and data planes, has been attracted in wireless Radio Access Networks (RANs). This paper proposes and presents an approach for applying IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Services (MIS) framework to the Software-Defined Radio Access Network (SDRAN). MIS-capable centralized controller in this approach enables both seamless handover and dynamic radio resource allocation by keeping a clear separation of MIS control from SDN control plane in heterogeneous RAN environment.
Vibration Transmission Analysis of Automotive Body for Reduction of Booming Noise (2011)

&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;This paper presents progressive techniques based on the previous SAE papers [&lt;span class="xref"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;], [&lt;span class="xref"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;] for vibration transmission analysis (VTA) on finite element (FE) model using Transfer Path Analysis (TPA). The techniques are: 1) a contribution calculation technique for structure with manifold and continuous transfer paths: 2) a visualization technique of the influence degree for efficient derivation of measures for response reduction.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;In VTA, influence degree of each DOF is calculated based on TPA. In order to understand characteristics of vibration transmission (VT) easily and visually by engineers, magnitude of influence degree is expressed by replacement to magnitude of displacement in the diagram of FE vibration shape. This visualization technique is applied to an automotive body structure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;The proposed techniques are applied to automotive body structure consisting of members and panels. The members are such as pillars, cross members and side members, which are the main VT paths. The panels are such as windshield and roof panel, where vibration is considered as propagating among the members. This application validates the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed approach.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Admittance and Impedance Representations of Friction Based on Implicit Euler Integration (2006)

Modeling of friction force is cumbersome because of its discontinuity at zero velocity. This paper presents a set of discrete-time friction models for the purpose of haptic rendering and virtual environment construction. These models allow friction to be treated as an admittance-type or impedance-type element of a virtual environment. They are derived from implicit Euler integration of Coulomb-like discontinuous friction and linear mass-spring-damper dynamics, and have closed-form expressions. They include rate-dependent friction laws, and their extension to multidimensional cases is easy in most practical cases. The validity of the models is demonstrated through numerical examples and implementation experiments
Semiconductor manufacturing process visualization (2004)

This paper describes a new graphical display of semiconductor manufacturing processes. The display shows the tool usage at each step and the frequency of transitions between adjacent steps using a normalized nonlinear color map. We use normalized entropy and conditional entropy to quantify how close the tool usage and transition frequencies are to an ideal uniform mixing process. The display also shows the steps for which a fraction of the data was lost. Throughout the display we used color to emphasize different process conditions: red represents alarm conditions and is designed to draw attention; white represents normal, expected conditions; and blue represents lower than normal usage. We designed the display to convey useful information and help process engineers visualize large data sets. This enables fast identification of violations in the assumptions of typical statistical process control techniques and data integrity problems.
Directed subwavelength imaging using a layered metal-dielectric system (2006)

We examine some of the optical properties of a metamaterial consisting of thin layers of alternating metal and dielectric. We can model this material as a homogeneous effective medium with anisotropic dielectric permittivity. When the components of this permittivity have different signs, the behavior of the system becomes very interesting: the normally evanescent parts of a $P$-polarized incident field are now transmitted, and there is a preferred direction of propagation. We show that a slab of this material can form an image with subwavelength details, at a position which depends on the frequency of light used. The quality of the image is affected by absorption and by the finite width of the layers; we go beyond the effective-medium approximation to predict how thin the layers need to be in order to obtain subwavelength resolution.

Ensemble Entropy for Monitoring Network Design (2014)

Information-theory provides, among others, conceptual methods to quantify the amount of information contained in single random variables and methods to quantify the amount of information contained and shared among two or more variables. Although these concepts have been successfully applied in hydrology and other fields, the evaluation of these quantities is sensitive to different assumptions in the estimation of probabilities. An example is the histogram bin size used to estimate probabilities to calculate Information Theory quantities via frequency methods. The present research aims at introducing a method to take into consideration the uncertainty coming from these parameters in the evaluation of the North Sea’s water level network. The main idea is that the entropy of a random variable can be represented as a probability distribution of possible values, instead of entropy being a deterministic value. The method consists of solving multiple scenarios of Multi-Objective Optimization Problem in which information content is maximized and redundancy is minimized. Results include probabilistic analysis of the chosen parameters on the resulting family of Pareto fronts, providing additional criteria on the selection of the final set of monitoring points.

260  Gene transfer with rAAVrh74.MHCK7.SGCB increased β-sarcoglycan expression in LGMD type 2E patients (2022)

These are initial findings of ongoing, phase 1 multiple ascending-dose gene transfer trial of ≤9 LGMD2E patients who received rAAVrh74.MHCK7.SGCB ( NCT03652259 ). Participants: patients 4–15y, confirmed β-sarcoglycan (SGCB) mutation (both alleles), negative for rAAVrh74 antibodies, &gt;40%n on 100-meter timed test. Patients received single IV infusion of 5x1013 vg/kg rAAVrh74.MHCK7.SGCB. Prednisone 1 mg/kg/day was initiated 1d before gene delivery, tapering after 30d. Primary endpoints: ≥20% SGCB-positive fibers (Day-60 muscle biopsy) and safety (Day 270). Secondary endpoints: CK decrease and functional endpoints (Day 270). First 3 patients enrolled (age 13[n=2]; age 4[n=1]): robust SGCB expression observed by immunohistochemistry (IHC), with a mean of 51% SGCB positive fibers (range 42–63%) expressing a mean 47% intensity (range 38–57%). Co-localization of β-sarcoglycan observed (IHC). Western blot showed a mean 36.1% SGCB expression vs normal (range 34–39%). Mean CK levels reduced by 82%, suggesting slowed muscle destruction. Two patients had elevated liver enzymes (1 serious) and 1 had elevated bilirubin following oral steroid taper, which returned to baseline. Two patients had transient mild nausea, corresponding with increased steroid dosing. No other clinically significant lab findings. Gene transfer in LGMD2E patients following rAAVrh74.MHCK7.SGCB infusion was positive for defined endpoints, demon- strating potential benefits of a rationally designed delivery system. jrichardson@sarepta.com
The prognostic outcome of Atypical Atrial Flutter following a single electrophysiology study and ablation (2023)

Background: Atypical Atrial Flutter (AAFL) prevalence is increasing due to the escalating Atrial Fibrillation (AF) ablations and cardiac surgeries. We wanted to explore the outcome of the AAFL ablation, considering the recent changes in mapping and ablation. Methods: This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Mayo Clinic hospital. We retrospectively studied 419 patients who had undergone AAFL ablation at Mayo Clinic from January 2017 to June 2022. Thirteen patients declined research authorization, and 19 patients were lost to follow-up during the 90-day blanking period, resulting in a sample size of 387. The median follow-up time for patients was 25.7 months (95% CI 23.7, 32.3). Results: Recurrent symptoms with documentation of atrial arrhythmia Occurred in 226/387 (58.4%) patients, of which 151/226 (66.8%) occurred within the first year. The median time to recurrence was 8.5 months (max 57.8 months). Eleven patients died during the study period, 9 of whom experienced recurrence prior to death. Overall, the median recurrence-free survival (RFS) time was 16.6 months (95% CI 13.2, 20.0) with a 1-year RFS rate of 57.2% (95% CI 52.2, 62.7%). Acute termination occurred 324/387 (83.7%) during the ablation. The 1-year RFS rate was 58.9% (95% CI 53.5%, 64.9%) for patients with acute termination and 49.0% (95% CI 37.9%, 63.4%) for those without acute termination. The rate was not significantly different based on acute termination status (p = 0.11). Conclusions: The one-year RFS rate of 57.2% following AAFL ablation, even though 83.7% achieved acute termination during the procedure, signifies the extent of the underlying substrate abnormalities.

User interface tailoring for multi-platform service access (2002)

Due to the diversity of display capabilities and input devices, mobile computing gadgets have caused a dramatic increase in the development effort of interactive services. User interface (UI) tailoring and multi platform access represent two promising concepts for coping with this challenge. The paper presents the MUSA (multiple user interfaces, single application) prototype system that addresses both issues by introducing an event-graph as basis of a UI tailoring process.
Use of a Cyanine Dye as a Reporter Probe in Reagentless Maltose Sensors Based onE. coliMaltose Binding Protein (2004)

ABSTRACT Reagentless bio‐sensing proteins represent a promising technology being developed for sensitive chemical detection and analysis. The majority of these sensor proteins incorporate environmentally sensitive UV‐excited fluorescent dyes as reporter probes. In this report, we describe conjugation of the commercially available visible wavelength‐excitable polymethine cyanine dye Cy3 (λmax abs = 556 nm; λmax em = 567 nm) to several single‐cysteine variants of maltose binding protein (MBP), followed by evaluation of each of these labeled proteins as potential reagentless sensors for maltose. Four of six MBP variants labeled with the Cy3 probe functioned successfully in a homogenous reagentless sensing mode, and yielded maltose dissociation constants ranging from 74 µM to 3.8 mM. Cy3 and other cyanine dye derivatives may be useful as long‐wavelength excitable reporter groups in other reagentless sensor designs.

Large-tunneling anisotropic magneto-Seebeck effect in a CoPt/MgO/Pt tunnel junction (2014)

We theoretically investigate the tunneling anisotropic magneto-Seebeck effect in a realistically modeled $\mathrm{CoPt}\text{/}\mathrm{MgO}\text{/}\mathrm{Pt}$ tunnel junction using coherent transport calculations. For comparison we study the tunneling magneto-Seebeck effect in $\mathrm{CoPt}\text{/}\mathrm{MgO}\text{/}\mathrm{CoPt}$ as well. We find that the magneto-Seebeck ratio of $\mathrm{CoPt}\text{/}\mathrm{MgO}\text{/}\mathrm{Pt}$ exceeds that of $\mathrm{CoPt}\text{/}\mathrm{MgO}\text{/}\mathrm{CoPt}$ for small barrier widths, reaching $175%$ at room temperature. This provides a sharp contrast to the magnetoresistance, in which $\mathrm{CoPt}\text{/}\mathrm{MgO}\text{/}\mathrm{CoPt}$ performs better by one order of magnitude for all barrier widths. Thus, by switching from two ferromagnetic layers to one (so that spin-orbit coupling alone governs the magnetic transport anisotropy), the magnetoresistance ratio diminishes while the magneto-Seebeck ratio remains comparable or improves considerably. We therefore demonstrate that magnetic tunability can increase when caused solely by spin-orbit coupling. This result sheds light on the role that spin-orbit coupling plays in magnetically tuning the properties of tunnel junctions.
Biomechanical Assessment of Anchored Cervical Interbody Cages (2014)

The 2-screw variable-angle anchored cage significantly reduces ROM relative to the intact spine. Greater stability can be achieved, especially during extension and axial rotation, by using the 4-screw cage or standard plate plus cage.
Influence of Aging on Progression of Cardiovascular Complications Associated with Insulin Resistance in Patients with Essential Hypertension. (1997)

Hyperinsulinemia or insulin resistance is suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension and its target organ diseases. It is also well documented that aging is associated with a decline in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, but there are few reports on the relationship between aging and insulin sensitivity or on the effects of aging on the progression of cardiovascular complications in patients with essential hypertension. To clarify these effects of aging in essential hypertension, 44 patients were examined by the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic glucose clamp test and ultrasonography of the heart and carotid arteries. There was a significant negative correlation between aging and insulin sensitivity (r = -0.37, p < 0.05). Significant increases in left ventricular mass index and carotid wall thickening accompanied by insulin resistance were seen in only non-elderly patients but not in elderly patients. These results suggest that aging decreases insulin sensitivity even in essential hypertensive subjects and that insulin resistance does not affect the progression of cardiac hypertrophy and atherosclerosis in elderly patients with essential hypertension.
High-Performance Visible Semiconductor Lasers Operating at 630 nm (2010)

A tensile-strained InGaP quantum-well laser structure operating around 630 nm has been designed. The structure offers low threshold current and beam divergence (19° full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) or 34° at 1/e <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ) simultaneously by incorporating a V-profile layer within the waveguide. Single-mode lasers (630 nm) were fabricated and tested. The threshold current for coated 1-mm-long and 3-m-wide ridge lasers is only 30 mA, and the slope efficiency is 1.04 W/A. This level of performance makes the lasers ideal for display applications.
Integration of an Equipment Complex with a Selected Configuration (2019)

We pose and solve the problem of the synthesis of dynamic integration matrices with discrete time shift operators that simulate data processing in the integrated computational environment of the designed equipment complex. The developed approach considers a preliminary choice of the configuration of the complex by specifying a pair of configuration matrices that simulate inertialess input and output interfaces of all its heterogeneous and non-universal components. We obtain analytic expressions for complete and reduced sets of integration matrices that ensure that, with the chosen configuration matrices, the prescribed objective function for the complex remains constant. We present a methodical example that demonstrates the methodology and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Human CD4+CD25+Regulatory T Cells Control T-Cell Responses to Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Cytomegalovirus Antigens (2004)

Regulatory T (T(R)) cells maintain tolerance to self-antigens and control immune responses to alloantigens after organ transplantation. Here, we show that CD4(+) CD25(+) human T(R) cells suppress virus-specific T-cell responses. Depletion of T(R) cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells enhances T-cell responses to cytomegalovirus and human immunodeficiency virus antigens. We propose that chronic viral infections lead to induction of suppressive T(R) cells that inhibit the antiviral immune response.
A search for meaning: continuing the existentialist tradition in painting (2013)

The challenge of realist painting today is in finding directions that seem fresh and relevant to the modern audience. It must compete, on one hand, with avant-garde art and on the other, with photographic imagery and a long tradition of realism in past painting in order to do this.\nThe art world today is far more receptive, however, to pictorial representation when compared to a period when realist artists were confronted more directly by the challenge of persuading viewers that their work was visually compelling and pertinent to modern experience. This is the period after World War II when abstract expressionism emerged and American modernist art rose to become a world leading entity, a period that coincided with the increasing popularity of existentialist philosophy across a wide range of disciplines including visual arts.\nResearch for this thesis was initiated when I became interested in exploring the concept of authenticity. This coincided with an increasing preoccupation with aspects of the human condition in the subject matter of my painting. Themes such as contemplation, angst, despair and questions about the nature of reality began to emerge. The subject matter was invoking elements of the classic ‘existential struggle’.\nAccordingly, this thesis investigates authenticity as existentialist writers conceive of that term. It goes on to critique how American realist artists (specifically painters working in and around New York in the late 1940’s and 1950’s, the socalled ‘painterly realists’) approached aspects of authenticity such as the nature of the real. A responsive body of work that explores existential doubt in a contemporary context supports this thesis.
Inorganic Quantum Dot Materials and their Applications in “Organic” Hybrid Solar Cells (2019)

Abstract Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are promising materials for polymer‐nanocrystal hybrid solar cells (HSCs). The aim of this review article is to present a comprehensive and current overview of inorganic QDs and their applications in HSCs. Fundamental properties of QDs are first illustrated. And then recent studies that have been done to elucidate charge dynamics of QDs and improve hybrid device performance are summarised and discussed in detail. Finally, an outlook is presented considering current existing challenges in HSCs.
