A Scalable Machine Learning System for Pre-Season Agriculture Yield\n Forecast (2018)

Yield forecast is essential to agriculture stakeholders and can be obtained\nwith the use of machine learning models and data coming from multiple sources.\nMost solutions for yield forecast rely on NDVI (Normalized Difference\nVegetation Index) data, which is time-consuming to be acquired and processed.\nTo bring scalability for yield forecast, in the present paper we describe a\nsystem that incorporates satellite-derived precipitation and soil properties\ndatasets, seasonal climate forecasting data from physical models and other\nsources to produce a pre-season prediction of soybean/maize yield---with no\nneed of NDVI data. This system provides significantly useful results by the\nexempting the need for high-resolution remote-sensing data and allowing farmers\nto prepare for adverse climate influence on the crop cycle. In our studies, we\nforecast the soybean and maize yields for Brazil and USA, which corresponded to\n44% of the world's grain production in 2016. Results show the error metrics for\nsoybean and maize yield forecasts are comparable to similar systems that only\nprovide yield forecast information in the first weeks to months of the crop\ncycle.\n

Piezoelectrically driven X Yθ table for submicron lithography systems (1989)

A newly designed piezoelectrically driven XYθ table has been developed for submicron lithography systems. The XYθ table was fabricated using a monolithic plate structure, joined together with flexure hinges and driven by an inchworm function. This function involves the periodic clamping and unclamping of four blocks and the expansion and contraction of piezoelectric actuators. The XYθ table can travel a long distance with fine positioning in the X, Y, and θ directions. The velocities can be controlled up to 0.5 mm/s in the X and Y directions, and 0.3×10 −2 rad/s in the θ direction by changing the inchworm function stepping rate. Positioning accuracy of less than 1 μm in the X and Y directions, and 7.5×10−6 rad in the θ direction can easily be obtained using a servo system with a 0.5-μm measuring resolution.
Head-Eye Coordination Increases with Age and Varies across Countries (2015)

Assuming that head movements and visual distortions contribute to dizziness and equilibrium problems, our study suggests that customizing eyewear based on age and country may help in reducing the prevalence of problems associated with head and/or eye movements.
Drug Delivery: Electrodeless Reverse Electrodialysis Patches as an Ionic Power Source for Active Transdermal Drug Delivery (Adv. Funct. Mater. 15/2018) (2018)

Yan Lee, Taek Dong Chung, and co-workers report a new strategy for active transdermal drug delivery using electrodeless reverse electrodialysis (RED) patches in article number 1705952. The ionic-flow-based RED patch pumps impermeable, charged drugs through the skin layer with high efficiency without any electrolysis. The electronics-free RED can provide a biocompatible, flexible, and eco-friendly power source for operating various wearable devices.
P304 Extranodal primary intestinal lymphoma in inflammatory bowel disease: An ECCO CONFER multi-centre case series (2020)

Abstract Background There is a small but measurable increased risk of lymphoma in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Evidence coming from case reports and small case series of primary intestinal lymphoma in IBD suggest an association with inflamed tissue and immunosuppressant use, mainly thiopurines. Methods This was a multicentre case series supported by the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO) and performed as part of the Collaborative Network of Exceptionally Rare case reports (CONFER) project. A call was made to report on cases of intestinal lymphoma in IBD and clinical data were recorded in a standardised case report form. Results Fifteen patients with intestinal lymphoma from 8 centres were included [12 males and 3 females, mean age 47.8 ( ± 16.4 SD, range 26–76) years at lymphoma diagnosis]. Eleven patients had Crohn’s disease: 7 had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 2 had Hodgkin’s disease and 2 had MALT lymphoma. Four patients had ulcerative colitis: DLBCL, MALT, indolent T-cell and immunoblastic lymphoma with plasma cell differentiation were diagnosed as a single case in each. Nine patients presented with symptoms of bowel obstruction, two presented with a non-obstructing mass, and there were single cases of isolated weight loss, symptoms resembling disease flare, indolent jaundice (from a duodenal lymphoma) and an incidental finding. The location of lymphoma was rectum in 3 cases, colon in 3 cases, small intestine in 4 cases, ileocolonic anastomosis in one case, stomach in one case and in multiple upper and lower GI sites in 3 cases. Lymphoma was located within the area affected from IBD in 10 patients, with four of these having active intestinal inflammation at the time of diagnosis. At lymphoma diagnosis, 7 patients were on azathioprine (one of whom also had adalimumab for 3 months), one was on infliximab for 1 month, one was on low dose steroids, one was on an aminosalicylate and 5 had not received IBD-related medications. Lymphoma was diagnosed at a mean time of 10.4 ( ± 7.07 SD, 1–24) years after IBD diagnosis in 11 patients, prior to IBD in one and concurrently with IBD in 3. Remission was achieved in 11 patients after treatment, 2 died from their lymphoma despite treatment and 2 are being monitored without therapy. Conclusion This case series of primary intestinal lymphomas in IBD illustrates a strong male predilection and a wide histological type range, with the majority being DLBCL. More than half of the cases cannot be attributed to IBD-related treatment whilst in a third of patients, lymphoma developed at a distant site from the area affected from IBD, thereby questioning the role of active inflammation or medication use in its development. The majority of cases successfully recovered after appropriate treatment.
Global karst springs hydrograph dataset for research and management of the world’s fastest-flowing groundwater (2020)

Karst aquifers provide drinking water for 10% of the world's population, support agriculture, groundwater-dependent activities, and ecosystems. These aquifers are characterised by complex groundwater-flow systems, hence, they are extremely vulnerable and protecting them requires an in-depth understanding of the systems. Poor data accessibility has limited advances in karst research and realistic representation of karst processes in large-scale hydrological studies. In this study, we present World Karst Spring hydrograph (WoKaS) database, a community-wide effort to improve data accessibility. WoKaS is the first global karst springs discharge database with over 400 spring observations collected from articles, hydrological databases and researchers. The dataset's coverage compares to the global distribution of carbonate rocks with some bias towards the latitudes of more developed countries. WoKaS database will ensure easy access to a large-sample of good quality datasets suitable for a wide range of applications: comparative studies, trend analysis and model evaluation. This database will largely contribute to research advancement in karst hydrology, supports karst groundwater management, and promotes international and interdisciplinary collaborations.
High-Speed Dense Stereo Via Directional Center-Biased Windows on Graphics Hardware (2007)

We present a high-speed dense stereo algorithm that achieves both good quality results and very high disparity estimation throughput on the graphics processing unit (GPU). The key idea is to make use of directional center-biased support windows to strike a good quality balance between homogeneous areas and depth discontinuities, and it is instantiated by a truncated separable Laplacian kernel approximation. To boost its real-time speed and tackle the computation precision problem on GPUs, a number of critical optimization schemes have been proposed. Evaluation using the benchmark Middlebury stereo database shows that our approach is better than previous GPU-based local stereo methods and it even outperforms some methods using global optimization techniques. Our optimized implementation completely running on an Nvidia GeForce 7900 graphics card achieves over 668 million disparity estimations per second (Mde/s) including all the overhead, which is about 2.3 to 13.4 times faster than the GPU-based solutions ever reported.
Factors Governing the Catalytic Insertion of CO2 into Arenes – A DFT Case Study for Pd and Pt Phosphane Sulfonamido Complexes (2022)

The potential of Pd/Pt complexes for catalytic carboxylation of arenes with CO<sub>2</sub> is investigated by means of computational chemistry. Recently we reported that the bis[(2-methoxyphenyl)phosphino]-benzenesulfonamido palladium complex 1 inserts CO<sub>2</sub> reversibly in its Pd-C(aryl) bond generating carboxylato complex 2. In the present work we study how geometric and electronic factors of various ligands and substrates influence the overall activation barrier (energy span, ES) of a potential catalytic cycle for arene carboxylation comprising this elementary step. The tendency of the key intermediates to dimerize and thus deactivating the potential catalysts is examined as well as the role of the base, which inevitably is needed to stabilize the reaction product. We show that Pd and Pt complexes I(Pd)-L16-S1 and I(Pt)-L16-S1 do not dimerize, enable the computation of complete catalytic cycles, and show interestingly low ES values of 26.8 and 24.5 kcal/mol, respectively.
Properties of Intraglobular Contacts in Proteins: An Approach to Prediction of Tertiary Structure (1994)

Matrices of intraglobular contacts and vectors of coordination numbers derived from the amino acid sequence form the basis .for computer procedures for the analysis and prediction of the tertiary structure of proteins. Three main modules perform: 1) prediction of the plot of residue-coordination numbers (number of contacts) on the basis of amino-acid sequence; 2) calculation of the matrix of intraglobulur contacts on the basis of coordination-numbers plot and amino-acid sequence; und 3) reconstruction of the three-dimensional structure starting with the contact matrix. This upprouch provides insight into important regularities governing globule formation, .for example, problems of interior/exterior residue distribution and apparent residue-residue aflinities. The current state 0.f development is illustrated by calculation of the threedimensional structure of sea snake neurotoxin.
A Measure of Motor Control at the Knee in Cerebral Palsy (2001)

This investigation developed a measure of motor control for the knee extensors in adults with cerebral palsy (CP). Four adults with CP and 4 able-bodied (AB) adults participated. A KinCom dynamometer rotated the knee from approximately 90º of knee flexion to 10º/s less than the participant’s maximum knee extension at a speed of 10º/s, while the participant attempted to match a 44.5-N “target” force. The average, standard deviation, and median frequency of the force-time data were used to describe the test results. The individual force values for the AB group were near the target force and clustered together. The values for the CP group were also near the target force, but displayed greater variation. The average standard deviation for the CP group was more than three times larger than that of the AB group. The average median frequency for the CP group was less than that of the AB group. Results pointed to differing strategies for each group as they attempted to match the target force. The AB group attempted to match the target force with frequent small-magnitude force changes, while the CP group attempted to match the target force with fewer oscillations of greater magnitude. The methods employed in the present investigation are initial attempts to quantify one aspect of motor control, a visually guided tracking task.
The OPTLS Protocol and TLS 1.3. (2015)

We present the OPTLS key-exchange protocol, its design, rationale and cryptographic analysis. OPTLS design has been motivated by the ongoing work in the TLS working group of the IETF for specifying TLS 1.3, the next-generation TLS protocol. The latter effort is intended to revamp the security of TLS that has been shown inadequate in many instances as well as to add new security and functional features. The main additions that influence the cryptographic design of TLS 1.3 (hence also of OPTLS) are a new 0-RTT requirement (0-RTT stands for zero round trip time) to allow clients that have previously retrieved or cached the public key of the server to send protected data already in the first flow of the protocol, making perfect forward secrecy (PFS) a mandatory requirement, and moving to elliptic curves as the main cryptographic basis for the protocol (for performance and security reasons). Accommodating these requirements calls for moving away from the RSA-centric design of TLS in favor of a protocol based on Diffie-Hellman techniques. OPTLS offers a simple design framework that supports all the above requirements from the protocol with a uniform and modular logic that helps in the specification, analysis, performance optimization, and future maintenance of the protocol. The current (draft) specification of TLS 1.3 builds upon the OPTLS framework as a basis for the cryptographic core of the handshake protocol adapting the different modes of OPTLS to the TLS 1.3 context.
An ATF/CREB site is the major regulatory element in the human herpesvirus 6 DNA polymerase promoter (1994)

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a recently described T-cell pathogen whose medical relevance and molecular biology are just beginning to be addressed. As a first look at the regulation of viral genes, control of the HHV-6 DNA polymerase promoter was examined. Polymerase gene transcription in HHV-6-infected cells was found to initiate from a single site located 115 bases upstream of the translation start codon. A polymerase promoter-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene construct failed to be expressed in uninfected T cells but was highly active in HHV-6-infected cells. Mutational data indicated that the polymerase promoter is TATA-less. Mutational analysis also revealed that the major upstream promoter regulatory element required for transcriptional activity in HHV-6-infected cells is a palindromic ATF/CREB transcription factor binding site. The significance of this site for promoter induction was further demonstrated by the fact that the polymerase ATF/CREB element, when appended to a heterologous basal promoter, is highly responsive to HHV-6 infection. Two protein complexes were found to bind in a specific manner to the ATF/CREB motif in both uninfected and HHV-6-infected T-cell nuclear extracts. Site-specific mutation of the ATF/CREB site resulted in loss of protein binding as well as loss of promoter activity in HHV-6-infected cells.
Lignin‐derived carbon nanofibers‐laminated redox‐active ‐mixed metal sulfides for high‐energy rechargeable hybrid supercapacitors (2020)

The design of inexpensive, binder-free electrodes with high energy densities from naturally occurring compounds poses an interesting challenge for the construction of high-performance supercapacitors. In particular, the synthesis of highly conductive carbon electrodes starting from miscanthus-derived (silver grass) lignin with inorganic active sites is of interest for hybrid supercapacitors. In this work, Ni-Mn sulfide nanograin networks are embedded on lignin-derived carbon nanofibers (LCNFs) by electrospinning, followed by either direct vapor-phase sulfidation or peroxidation-induced sulfidation in an inert atmosphere. After either of the two different sulfidation processes, the direct transformation of Ni-Mn sulfide on carbon nanofibers results in highly mechanically flexible freestanding electrodes, with a good specific capacity of 652.3 C g−1 at 1 A g−1, excellent current rate properties (73.6% capacity retention at 20 times the initial current density), and a cycling stability of 91.3% after 5000 cycles, even at the high current density of 10 A g−1. These outstanding properties are attributed to the rational design of surface-embedded Ni-Mn sulfide nanograins on the 3D LCNFs and the fascinating synergetic and graphitic nature of the fibrous web, which increases conductivity, influences the interfacial contact, and promotes highly electrochemically active sites on the electrode surface. Furthermore, an aqueous hybrid supercapacitor assembly of LCNFs-NiMnS//activated carbon (AC) is demonstrated, with a maximum energy density of 52.4 W h kg−1 at a power density of 800 W kg−1, as well as 92.3% capacitance retention even after 10 000 cycles. This work not only establishes a high-capacity anode but also provides an ideal strategy for designing flexible and conductive heterostructure network for various energy storage applications.
Fabrication of Nb-Fe-B thick-film magnets by high-speed PLD method (2003)

The high-speed pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method resulted in Nd-Fe-B film magnets with a thickness of more than several tens of micrometers in 1 h. Targets were ablated with a pulse laser at the repetition rate of 30 Hz, and the films were deposited on Ta substrates. Control of a distance between a target and a substrate provided a high deposition rate of 5-20 nm/s. The average values of coercivity and the remanence of the films were approximately 1000 kA/m and 0.55 T, respectively, in the thickness range of 10-80 /spl mu/m, and the fabrication of the high-speed PLD method enabled us to obtain a sample with the maximum energy product of 77 kJ/m/sup 3/. A film with the thickness of approximately 120 /spl mu/m was fabricated by suppressing peeling from a substrate. In addition, the films with the thickness of 40-50 /spl mu/m were prepared on Fe substrates with a Ta buffer layer.
Benchmark for Complex Answer Retrieval (2017)

Providing answers to complex information needs is a challenging task. The new TREC Complex Answer Retrieval (TREC CAR) track introduces a large-scale dataset where paragraphs are to be retrieved in response to outlines of Wikipedia articles representing complex information needs. We present early results from a variety of approaches -- from standard information retrieval methods (e.g., TF-IDF) to complex systems that adopt query expansion, knowledge bases and deep neural networks. The goal is to offer an overview of some promising approaches to tackle this problem.
Polymers on snow: Toward skiing faster Part B Polymer physics (2010)

In this study, small-scale model skis running down a Nordic ski track were used to investigate the tribological properties of polymer ski soles of a wide range of chemical compositions and surface structures on snow at temperatures of -2 to -4 °C. It was found that ski soles consisting of smooth hydrophilic films of an arithmetical mean surface roughness of less than 0.2 μm experience a considerably higher friction with snow than flat hydrophobic films indicating that for such soles, capillary bridging of the lubricating water film between the snow and the ski base is the dominating friction mechanism. An optimum surface roughness of the ski soles was detected --in the range of 0.2-1 μm. At this surface roughness, sliders are always fast, essentially independent of chemical composition of the ski sole and surface topology. At higher surface roughness, it was found that friction between polymer and snow increases again, especially for structured surfaces that are not aligned in the gliding direction.
Open language implementation (2011)

Writing multi-threaded shared variable code is notoriously difficult because a given program can result in different possible executions due to non-determinism. Observed executions may also vary depending on the specific compiler and runtime system at hand. Many aspects of behavior are beyond the control of the programmer at the language's level of abstraction (e.g., compiler transformations), and as a result, debugging and performance tuning are very difficult tasks. In this position paper, we propose that the language implementation stack (compiler, runtime system) should be open, i.e., transparent, accountable, and interactive, so that the programmer may have direct access to invaluable information, and regain control over the behavior of the program in a given environment.

Stretching the limits of visual attention: the case of action video games (2010)

Visual attention is the set of mechanisms by which relevant visual information is selected while irrelevant information is suppressed, thus allowing the observer to function in a world made up of nearly infinite visual information. Recently, those who habitually play video games have been documented to outperform novices in a variety of visual attentional capabilities, including attention in space, in time, and to objects. Training studies have established similar improvements in groups of nongamers given experience playing these video games. Critically, not all video games seem to have such a beneficial effect on attention; it seems that fast-paced, embodied visuo-motor tasks that require divided attention (tasks commonly found in popular action games like Halo) have the greatest effect. At the core of these action video game-induced improvements appears to be a remarkable enhancement in the ability to efficiently deploy endogenous attention. The implications of such an enhancement are relevant to a variety of real-world applications, such as work force training, rehabilitation of clinical populations, and improvement of traditional educational approaches.

Low‐Cost, Organic Light‐Emitting Electrochemical Cells with Mass‐Producible Nanoimprinted Substrates Made Using Roll‐to‐Roll Methods (2017)

Next‐generation, power‐efficient organic lighting systems, which ideally would be low‐cost and mass‐producible, are urgently needed because more than 20% of total electricity use goes to lighting. This study presents polymer light‐emitting electrochemical cells (PLECs) made using mass‐producible nanoimprinted corrugated substrates, which effectively improve light extraction efficiency. The corrugated substrates are fabricated using roll‐to‐roll methods, using self‐assembled block copolymers on glass and film substrates (glass: 0.45 m × 0.55 m, film: 0.6 m wide). Using the glass‐type corrugated substrates, two PLECs based on (poly[2‐methoxy‐5‐(2‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1,4‐phenylene vinylene]) and (“super‐yellow” poly( p ‐phenylene vinylene)) (SY‐PPV) are fabricated by solution‐based spin‐coating methods, which can in practice be replaced by roll‐to‐roll methods. The corrugated PLECs with SY‐PPV show high brightness of 1740 cd cm −2 and 2.1 times greater efficiency without changing the original spectrum or angular dependence. This successful combination of corrugated substrates and PLECs is one of the best examples of a promising cost‐effective, high‐performance lighting technology.
