Motion of control of a multijoint robot based on a robust velocity controller (1997)

This paper proposes a simple and robust robot motion control method using a robust velocity controller. The robust velocity controller is based on H∞ control theory, and is called H∞ velocity controller. The H∞ velocity controller based motion control method is completely equivalent to the robust acceleration control method using the H∞ acceleration controller, but it has simpler structure. Therefore, the proposed system can realize a fine robot motion control easily. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, this paper realizes the hybrid control of position and force for a multijoint robot manipulator. Further, the simple realization of hybrid control is proposed considering the attitude of the robot manipulator. This system achieves hybrid control of position and force of the robot manipulator while maintaining a perpendicular attitude to the target environment. The experimental results in this paper show that the proposed system has the desired force and position response to the target environment. © 1997 Scripta Technica, Inc.

Freezing Influences the Healing of Rabbit Medial Collateral Ligament Autografts (1995)

Connective tissue allografts are treated commonly with deep freezing to facilitate their storage in tissue banks and to reduce their immunogenicity. The influence of freezing on the healing of these grafts is unknown. The effect of an aggressive freezing protocol on ligament graft healing in a nonimmunogenic autograft model was investigated. The femoral-medial collateral ligament-tibial complex of the rabbit knee was transplanted orthotopically into the site from which it had just been harvested. The fresh group had their grafts rinsed in normal saline, and the frozen-thawed group had their grafts repetitively frozen-thawed in liquid nitrogen immediately before reimplantation. The healing of the ligament complexes were evaluated mechanically at intervals as long as 1 year after transplantation. Repeated freezing had little effect on the initial mechanical behavior of the graft complexes but was found to be detrimental to subsequent graft incorporation. The frozen-thawed grafts were weaker than the fresh grafts overall, and this effect persisted over time. The failure load and stress of the frozen-thawed grafts reached only 87% and 75% of that of the fresh grafts after 48 weeks. Because the initial mechanical effects of freezing were minimal, subsequent effects on graft healing must be attributed to factors other than gross structural injury. Despite showing almost no signs of damage to bone-ligament-bone grafts initially, freezing procedures may have important subsequent biologic consequences that may influence the clinical success of stored connective tissue grafts used in ligament reconstruction.
Thermophoretic Effects on Seeding Particles in LDV Measurements of Flames (1994)

Abstract The motion of LDV seeding particles under the influence of viscous and thermophoretic forces in the rapidly-accelerating, high-temperature-gradient flame environment was studied via the counterfiow premixed twin-flame configuration. Results demonstrate that thermophoretic force can induce significant lag between the fluid and,particle velocities in the active preheat zone of a flame, and suggest that caution should be exercised when interpreting LDV data obtained in this region. A thermophoretic velocity correction to the LDV-determined velocity, with known experimental or computational temperature profile, is proposed. Additional considerations of LDV diagnoslics and its determination of laminar flame speed are also presented.
A framework for particle filtering in positioning, navigation and tracking problems (2002)

A framework for positioning, navigation and tracking problems using particle filters (recursive Monte Carlo methods) is developed. Automotive and airborne applications, approached in this framework, have proven a numerical advantage over classical Kalman filter based algorithms. Here the use of non-linear measurement models and non-Gaussian measurement noise is the main explanation for the improvement in accuracy, and models for relevant sensors are surveyed.

Longitudinal Genome-Wide Association of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in the Bogalusa Heart Study (2010)

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Recent genome-wide association (GWA) studies have pinpointed many loci associated with CVD risk factors in adults. It is unclear, however, if these loci predict trait levels at all ages, if they are associated with how a trait develops over time, or if they could be used to screen individuals who are pre-symptomatic to provide the opportunity for preventive measures before disease onset. We completed a genome-wide association study on participants in the longitudinal Bogalusa Heart Study (BHS) and have characterized the association between genetic factors and the development of CVD risk factors from childhood to adulthood. We report 7 genome-wide significant associations involving CVD risk factors, two of which have been previously reported. Top regions were tested for replication in the Young Finns Study (YF) and two associations strongly replicated: rs247616 in CETP with HDL levels (combined P = 9.7 x 10(-24)), and rs445925 at APOE with LDL levels (combined P = 8.7 x 10(-19)). We show that SNPs previously identified in adult cross-sectional studies tend to show age-independent effects in the BHS with effect sizes consistent with previous reports. Previously identified variants were associated with adult trait levels above and beyond those seen in childhood; however, variants with time-dependent effects were also promising predictors. This is the first GWA study to evaluate the role of common genetic variants in the development of CVD risk factors in children as they advance through adulthood and highlights the utility of using longitudinal studies to identify genetic predictors of adult traits in children.
Quantitative analysis on key estimation by known-plaintext attacks to DRPE (2011)

Double Random Phase Encoding (DRPE), which is a typical optical encryption technique, has been reported to be vulnerable to Known Plaintext-Attacks (KPAs) using a Phase Retrieval Algorithm (PRA). But the reported case in which the encryption key is successfully estimated was that the plain image was rather simple such as the image of a character. In addition, although Phase Only DRPE (PO-DRPE) was proposed to achieve more resistance to the KPA than Complex DRPE (C-DRPE) in which both amplitude and phase components are used as an encrypted image, no quantitative results about the relationship between the vulnerability and the plaintext image. In this paper, we show the result of quantitative analysis on KPA by PRA to C-DRPE and PO-DRPE, for the plaintext images of different characteristics. As a result of experiment, KPA to C-DRPE succeeded to estimate the correct key while the probability of success became lower when the number of non-zero pixel increases in the plaintext image. However, KPA to PO-DRPE enabled to estimate only "singular" keys, which are effective for no more than given plaintext/ciphertext image pair and far different from the correct encryption key. We also conducted KPA using two plaintext-ciphertext image pairs for KPA. In the case when two plaintext-ciphertext image pairs were given to KPA, the cryptanalysis succeeded with higher probability than the case of one. Moreover, the probability of success in the KPA was high even in PO-DRPE.

Mixed mucosal-parenteral immunizations with the broadly conserved pathogenic Escherichia coli antigen SslE induce a robust mucosal and systemic immunity without affecting the murine intestinal microbiota (2018)

Emergence and dissemination of multidrug resistance among pathogenic Escherichia coli have posed a serious threat to public health across developing and developed countries. In combination with a flexible repertoire of virulence mechanisms, E. coli can cause a vast range of intestinal (InPEC) and extraintestinal (ExPEC) diseases but only a very limited number of antibiotics still remains effective against this pathogen. Hence, a broad spectrum E. coli vaccine could be a promising alternative to prevent the burden of such diseases, while offering the potential for covering against several InPEC and ExPEC at once. SslE, the Secreted and Surface-associated Lipoprotein of E. coli, is a widely distributed protein among InPEC and ExPEC. SslE functions ex vivo as a mucinase capable of degrading mucins and reaching the surface of mucus-producing epithelial cells. SslE was identified by reverse vaccinology as a protective vaccine candidate against an ExPEC murine model of sepsis, and further shown to be cross-effective against other ExPEC and InPEC models of infection. In this study, we aimed to gain insight into the immune response to antigen SslE and identify an immunization strategy suited to generate robust mucosal and systemic immune responses. We showed, by analyzing T cell and antibody responses, that mice immunized with SslE via an intranasal prime followed by two intramuscular boosts developed an enhanced overall immune response compared to either intranasal-only or intramuscular-only protocols. Importantly, we also report that this regimen of immunization did not impact the richness of the murine gut microbiota, and mice had a comparable cecal microbial composition, whether immunized with SslE or PBS. Collectively, our findings further support the use of SslE in future vaccination strategies to effectively target both InPEC and ExPEC while not perturbing the resident gut microbiota.
Unsupervised Moving Object Detection via Contextual Information Separation (2019)

We propose an adversarial contextual model for detecting moving objects in images. A deep neural network is trained to predict the optical flow in a region using information from everywhere else but that region (context), while another network attempts to make such context as uninformative as possible. The result is a model where hypotheses naturally compete with no need for explicit regularization or hyper-parameter tuning. Although our method requires no supervision whatsoever, it outperforms several methods that are pre-trained on large annotated datasets. Our model can be thought of as a generalization of classical variational generative region-based segmentation, but in a way that avoids explicit regularization or solution of partial differential equations at run-time.
On-chip wavelength multicasting of 3&#x00D7;320-Gb/s pulsed-RZ optical data (2010)

We demonstrate for the first time on-chip wavelength multicasting of 320-Gb/s pulsed-RZ data. Using four-wave mixing in a dispersion-engineered silicon waveguide, we perform a 3× multicast, verify full selectivity, perform spectral evaluation, and record eye diagrams for the wavelength-multicasted signal.
A Worm's World: Ecological Flexibility Pays Off for Free-Living Nematodes in Sediments and Soils (2019)

Free-living nematodes, an ancient animal phylum of unsegmented microscopic roundworms, have successfully adapted to nearly every ecosystem on Earth: from marine and freshwater to land, from the polar regions to the tropics, and from the mountains to the ocean depths. They are globally the most abundant animals in sediments and soils. In the present article, we identify the factors that collectively explain the successful ecological proliferation of free-living nematodes and demonstrate the impact they have on vital sediment and soil processes. The ecological success of nematodes is strongly linked to their ability to feed on various food sources that are present in both sediments and soils, and to proliferate rapidly and survive in contrasting environmental conditions. The adaptations, roles, and behaviors of free-living nematodes have important implications for the resilience of sediments and soils, and for emergent animal communities responding to human alterations to ecosystems worldwide.
Les mondes du travail politique (2014)

La notion de travail politique demeure controversée voire suspecte pour les acteurs politiques. Elle est peu utilisée dans les sciences sociales, où l'on raisonne plus volontiers en termes de « métier d'élu » et de professionnalisation politique. Ce livre cherche à décrire ce que font les hommes et femmes politiques et à rendre compte des conditions dans lesquelles ils et elles travaillent. Ce livre met en évidence plusieurs propriétés saillantes du travail politique, montrant que celui-ci ne ressemble ni à l'exercice solitaire d'un pouvoir de décision ni à l'interprétation d'un rôle clairement délimité. Les contours du travail politique sont flous et son contenu est très composite. En effet, il est une activité collective et distribuée, qui mobilise au-delà du cercle des élus une multiplicité d'acteurs et de professionnels agencés en collectifs hybrides. Le travail politique est aussi une activité malléable et difficilement maîtrisable parce qu'elle est peu prévisible, débordante, inséparable d'ajustements et de négociations constantes avec d'autres acteurs, groupes et institutions. Il est encore une activité soumise à de multiples régulations, relevant de cadres juridiques et réglementaires mais aussi des réseaux relationnels et d'interdépendances multiples structurant ce monde professionnel. Il est enfin une activité rythmée par les échéances électorales et indissociable d'une certaine incertitude pesant sur les carrières de long terme. Pour explorer ces pistes, ce livre rassemble des travaux réalisés sur des terrains variés, portant sur des institutions politiques (partis, collectivités territoriales), des collectifs de travail (cabinets ministériels, entourages d'eurodéputés), des détenteurs de fonctions exécutives (vice-présidents de conseils régionaux, maires, élus cumulants), des entourages d'élus (directeurs généraux de service, personnels de confiance). Quatre angles d'analyse sont privilégiés, mettant l'accent successivement sur les expériences et la gestion du travail, sur les modes d'organisation et de division du travail, sur les formes d'appropriation et d'interprétation du travail, sur les carrières et les marchés du travail.
Evaluation of ionic-metal polymer composites (IMPC) for use as near-DC mechanical sensors (2001)

Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) active elements enable near-DC acceleration measurement devices with modest power, volume, mass, and complexity requirements, provided their unique properties are accounted for in the design. Advantages over conventional piezoelectric elements are documented for some applications.
세포점착성 PLLA-PAA-RGD 지지체를 이용한 연골세포 증식시 생물반응기의 효과 (2008)

Porous poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA) scaffolds were prepared and then grafted with acrylic acid(AAc) using in situ direct plasma treatment to obtain hydrophilic PLLA-PAA. The obtained PLLA-PAAc was coupled with Gly- Arg-Asp-Gly(GRGD) as a ligand peptide to get cell-adhesive PLLA-PAAc-RGD. The prepared AA-grafted and RGD-immobilized PLLA films were confirmed from various surface analyses. Chondrocyte isolated from rabbit knee articular cartilages was passaged twice before cell seeding on the PLLA scaffolds. Once seeded on either PLLA scaffolds, they were placed in a multi-functional bioreactor system and an intermittent hydrodynamic pressure(IHP) was applied in 3 bars, while turned on for 2 min and off for 28 min during 3-weeks culture. Chondrocyte adhesion increased with time and the order of the adhesion was PLLA control<PLLA-PAAc<PLLA-PAAc-RGD. In addition, the contents of total collagen and glycosaminoglycans(GAG) increased in dynamic culture system as compared with static one. This suggests that the bioreactor may significantly enhance the adhesion and proliferation of chondrocytes irrespective of kinds of PLLA scaffolds.
Redescription of the Root-Knot Nematode Meloidogyne Maritima Jepson, 1987 (Nematoda: Heteroderidae), a Parasite of Ammophila Arenaria (L.) Link (1998)

The root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne maritima, a parasite of marram grass (Ammophila arenaria), is redescribed from the type locality, a coastal dune near Perranporth, UK. This species is characterized by second-stage juvenile 471 μm long, hemizonid posterior to excretory pore, tail 71.5 μm long, hyaline tail terminus indistinct; male head tapering, not set off, labial disc elevated, rounded and fused with crescent shaped medial lips, lateral lips present, stylet 20.5 μm long, with relatively small rounded knobs, slightly sloping backwardly, lateral field areolated; female stylet curved dorsally, 14.2 μm long, with rounded to transversely ovoid shaped knobs, slightly sloping backwardly, excretory pore located near level of stylet knobs, perineal pattern relatively small, rounded to ovoid and dorsal arch low with lateral field distinct. A malate dehydrogenase pattern, N1a type, and a VS1-S1type of esterase isozyme pattern were detected. Meloidogyne duytsi Karssen et al., 1998, was found on Elymus furctus in the foredunes of the type locality.
pH-Dependent Binding of the TXA2/PGH2-Receptor of Human Platelet Membranes to Various Ligands (1992)

[3H]-BAY U 3405 was used to characterize the pH-dependency of the binding of various ligands to the TXA2/PGH2-receptor of human platelet membranes. Maximum binding of [3H]-BAY U 3405 is achieved at pH 5.8. In inhibition studies the ligands Daltroban, CTA2, and U 46619 also show a higher affinity at pH 5.8 compared to pH 7.4. In contrast, the ligands I-PTA-OH and GR 32191 have a higher affinity at pH 7.4. No difference is seen with SQ 29548. The ligands I-PTA-OH, GR 32191, and SQ 29548 have a second protonable group in common, which is thought to be the reason for the different pH-dependent binding.

Lorentz drift compensation in high harmonic generation in the soft and hard X-ray regions of the spectrum (2016)

We present a semi-classical study of the effects of the Lorentz force on electrons during high harmonic generation in the soft and hard X-ray regions driven by near- and mid-infrared lasers with wavelengths from 0.8 to 20 μm, and at intensities below 10<sup>15</sup> W/cm<sup>2</sup>. The transverse extent of the longitudinal Lorentz drift is compared for both Gaussian focus and waveguide geometries. Both geometries exhibit a longitudinal electric field component that cancels the magnetic Lorentz drift in some regions of the focus, once each full optical cycle. We show that the Lorentz force contributes a super-Gaussian scaling which acts in addition to the dominant high harmonic flux scaling of λ<sup>-(5-6)</sup> due to quantum diffusion. We predict that the high harmonic yield will be reduced for driving wavelengths > 6 μm, and that the presence of dynamic spatial mode asymmetries results in the generation of both even and odd harmonic orders. Remarkably, we show that under realistic conditions, the recollision process can be controlled and does not shut off completely even for wavelengths >10 μm and recollision energies greater than 15 keV.
Comparison of Scalar and Vector WFM Method Through the Design of High-Δ Waveguide Lenses (2022)

We demonstrate that the high refractive index difference (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\Delta $ </tex-math></inline-formula>) waveguide design using a wavefront matching (WFM) method requires a full-vector propagation analysis. The investigation was implemented through the comparison of some pairs of high-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\Delta $ </tex-math></inline-formula> waveguide lenses designed by a scalar or full-vector WFM method. The results show that a full-vector WFM method is superior to a scalar WFM method for the design of waveguide lenses with the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\Delta $ </tex-math></inline-formula> of 20&#x0025; or higher. Finally, we experimentally demonstrate that the necessity of a full-vector propagation analysis for the design of Si waveguide lenses using a WFM method. Calculation and measurement results agree well and the insertion loss of a pair of Si waveguide lenses designed by a full-vector WFM method is 0.78 dB lower than that designed by a scalar WFM method at the wavelength of 1550 nm.
Phenotypic Variation in a Family With Pseudodominant Stargardt Disease (2016)

These cases emphasize the clinical relevance of recognizing pseudodominant transmission and the resultant phenotypic variability. Differing degrees of visual impairment in these patients emphasize the need to continue refining our understanding of how individual ABCA4 mutations contribute to phenotype.
Recent advances in haploidentical stem cell transplantation. (2013)

In the last two decades, new developments in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation have made it a viable alternative donor option. Initially, allogeneic HSCT was limited to patients who had HLA-identical related donors. To provide options for patients lacking a matched related donor, registries of unrelated volunteer donors or cord blood units have been established with the hopes of providing a phenotypically well-matched stem cell product. The use of haploidentical donors broadens the application of HSCT more than these other approaches. In addition, the greater HLA mismatching associated with haploidentical HSCT may potentiate graft versus tumor (GVT) effects.
