Proceedings of the 1st symposium on Spatial user interaction (2013)

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the first ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction -- SUI'13. This new event focuses on the user interface challenges that appear when users interact in the space where the flat, twodimensional, digital world meets the volumetric, physical, three-dimensional (3D) space we live in. This considers both spatial input as well as output, with an emphasis on the issues around the interaction between humans and systems. The goal of the symposium is to provide an intensive exchange between academic and industrial researchers working in the area of SUI and to foster discussions among participants. The first SUI symposium was held July 20-21, 2013 in Los Angeles, USA.

The call for papers attracted 31 submissions from Asia, Europe, Australia, and North and South America in all areas of Spatial User Interaction research. The international program committee consisting of 15 experts in the topic areas and the two program chairs handled the highly competitive and selective review process. Every submission received at least four detailed reviews, two from members of the international program committee and two or more from external reviewers. The reviewing process was double-blind, where only the program chairs as well as the program committee member, who was assigned to each paper to identify external reviewers, knew the identity of the authors.

In the end, the program committee accepted overall 12 (8 full papers plus 4 short papers) out of 31 submissions, which corresponds to an acceptance rate of 26% for full papers (and 38% in total). Additionally 12 posters and demonstrations will complement the program and appear in the proceedings. The topics range from spatial interaction techniques, vision in 3D space, applications, to interaction with multi-touch technologies and in augmented reality. We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for Spatial User Interaction researchers and developers.

Putting together the content for SUI'13 was a team effort. We first thank the authors for providing the content of the program. Special thanks go to the members of the international program committee, who successfully dealt with the reviewing load. We also thank the external reviewers.
Evaluation préclinique de stratégies vaccinales visant à l'induction de réponse cytotoxique HLA A2. 1 restreinte à l'aide de souris " humanisées " (1999)

Depuis l'identification des genes codant pour des antigenes specifiques des cellules tumorales, un nombre substantiel et croissant de peptides epitopiques CD8 ont ete identifies et sont en cours d'utilisation dans l'immunotherapie des cancers. L'etude comparative du potentiel immunogenique des peptides et des strategies vaccinales est difficilement realisable chez l'homme pour de multiples raisons. C'est pourquoi notre equipe a developpe plusieurs souris transgeniques n'exprimant que les molecules d'histocompatibilite de classe I humaine. Au cours de ma these, j'ai documente l'interet que des souris humanisees HLA de classe I presentent pour l'etude preclinique de formulations vaccinales anti tumorales. Nous avons d'abord etudie le potentiel immunogenique des epitopes HLA-A2. 1 restreints dans differentes pathologies tumorales. Une hierarchie peptidique a pu etre ainsi etablie permettant de choisir les peptides a utiliser en immunotherapie humaine. La necessite d'induire conjointement une reponse CD4 auxiliaire pour optimiser la reponse cytotoxique CD8 restreinte a egalement ete demontree. Differentes strategies d'immunisation directement applicables en clinique humaine furent ensuite comparees. Les structures particulaires recombinantes de la levure Ty et l'injection d'ADN nu codant une glycoproteine recombinante du virus de l'hepatite B se sont averees les plus efficaces. Pour cette raison fut introduite une sequence polyepitopique derivee de melanome dans le vecteur codant pour les particules de l'hepatite B. Des reponses cytolytiques multi specifiques ont ete induites chez toutes les souris testees. L'immunogenicite des peptides faibles inducteurs de CTL a pu etre optimisee en remplacant l'acide amine en position Pl du peptide sauvage tout en gardant leur specificite antigenique. Ainsi differents polyepitopes incluant des peptides sauvages ou des peptides modifies ont pu etre construits et evalues chez la souris transgenique HLA. A2. 1. L'ensemble de ces resultats permettent d'envisager leur emploi en phase I chez les patients atteints de melanome en collaboration avec Pasteur Merieux Serum-Vaccins. Parmi les retrovirus, les lentivirus ont la propriete unique d'infecter des cellules non mitotiques grâce a une structure d'ADN a trois brins (le triplex), dont l'integrite est requise a l'import nucleaire. L'introduction des sequences du triplex dans un vecteur derive du HIV-1 augmente considerablement le taux de transduction des cellules. Nous avons montre la capacite de ces vecteurs a induire des reponses CTL, ce qui represente une strategie potentielle et nouvelle d'immunotherapie du cancer par transduction de cellules dendritiques ou injection directe de ces vecteurs recombinants.
Acoustic analysis of an axial fan (2017)

Axial fans are often used in cooling electronic enclosures where low noise levels are highly demanded. Therefore, methods for predicting the noise emitted by an application including single or multiple fans are desirable to improve, stimulate and reduce the cost of low-noise design. The prediction of sound generated from fluid flow has been difficult due to the non-linear form of the governing equations, however, recent developments in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational acoustics allow us to determine sound pressure levels (SPL) in a fluid flow. In this study, time dependent flow field produced by an axial fan is computed via Large Eddy Simulations (LES), and the consequent sound pressure map is determined using the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) model. Since an axial fan is a complex source of sound, for engineering design purposes, simplifications are needed when modelling its acoustic characteristics, therefore, the sound radiation of an axial fan in free space is examined by expanding the generated sound pressure field into spherical harmonics. In addition, acoustic measurements are carried out in a semi-anechoic chamber to validate the aforementioned computational models and make necessary comparisons. Comparison of the numerical results against the experimental data shows that, despite some discrepancies, the former is able to capture the trends observed in the measurements.
Line search based iterative joint estimation of channels and frequency offsets for uplink OFDM systems (2007)

This paper proposes a novel iterative joint estimation of channels and frequency offsets for uplink OFDMA systems. The proposed method is based on the iterative line search algorithm with a trust region. The objective function minimizes the mean-square distance between the received vector and the reconstructed received vector based on the estimated parameters. In each iteration, the parameters are updated based on the minimum mean square error criterion. We also present a stop criterion for the iterative algorithm. The simulation results show the fast convergence rate of the proposed algorithm with asymptotic performance approaching the average CRBs (averaged over the random frequency offsets and fading channels). Our proposed method achieves a much lower computational complexity and better bit error rate performance than the existing SAGE method.
Intracavity contacts for low-threshold oxide-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (1999)

Very low threshold vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers are demonstrated using intracavity contacts, an upper dielectric Bragg reflector, and an undoped lower AlAs-GaAs Bragg reflector. The undoped lower mirror allows the demonstration of the highest differential efficiency yet achieved for sub-100-μA threshold, which is 60% for a 67-μA threshold. Devices with smaller output coupling show threshold current densities as low 98 A/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> , and a minimum threshold current of 23 μA for a small aperture.

Low Cost Bio-Mechanical Energy Generator for Off-grid Users (2011)

In this study, we present a low-cost bio-mechanical energy generator designed to meet the basic power needs of off-grid users in emerging markets. Targeted usecases include providing power to charge a cellphone, rural lighting applications, charging low-power computing devices such as netbooks. Bio-Mechanical energy generation is well suited to provide low cost off-grid power in emerging markets due to availability of large low-cost labor pools in emerging markets, easy integration of bio-mechanical into lifestyle of rural consumer and sustainability of bio-mechanical technologies. In this work, the bio-mechanical generator is designed using stringent constraints on cost and performance. A detailed performance characterization of the generator device is reported in this study. The energy expenditure of the user during the process of energy generation is characterized by a wearable body sensor.

It also discusses other uses of the replication middleware for implementing trusted services. It may serve as a blueprint for building generic trusted third-party services that use the state-machine replication approach.
Effect of non‐thermal atmospheric plasma on the dentin‐surface topography and composition and on the bond strength of a universal adhesive (2017)

This study investigated the effect of application of non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) on the topography and composition of the dentin surface, as well as the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of a universal adhesive to NTAP-treated dentin. Exposed flat dentin surfaces from human third molars were either treated with NTAP for 10 and 30 s or untreated (control). The dentin-surface topography and chemical composition were characterized by atomic force microscopy (n = 3) and Raman confocal spectroscopy (n = 5), respectively. The μTBS (n = 8) of Scotchbond Universal to dentin was determined after storage for 24 h and 1 yr, either by direct water exposure or under simulated pulpal pressure. In-situ zymography was used to evaluate the influence of NTAP on the dentin-enzymatic activity. Non-thermal atmospheric plasma produced no remarkable topographical or chemical alterations at the dentin surface; only the amount of phosphate decreased following 10 s of treatment with NTAP. After 1 yr of direct water exposure, the μTBS of NTAP-treated specimens did not differ statistically significantly from that of untreated controls, whereas simulated pulpal pressure-aging resulted in a significantly higher μTBS for NTAP-treated dentin. The dentin-enzymatic activity appeared to be treatment-dependent, but the untreated controls showed more intense fluorescence within the hybrid layer. Scotchbond Universal maintained its μTBS strength after 1 yr of direct water exposure and simulated pulpal pressure, although remarkable statistical differences between treatments were observed depending on the aging condition.
Reducing production losses in additive manufacturing using overall equipment effectiveness (2022)

Additive manufacturing (AM) has widely demonstrated its ability to economically produce parts at low volumes. Attention is now shifting to higher volume applications, such as mass customization and the manufacture of standard parts. In these contexts, production losses due to process variability and inefficient machine use are common concerns for the application of AM. The Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metric is a tool widely used in traditional manufacturing to assess the effective use of production capacity. Previous studies seeking to apply OEE to AM are limited in scope and have neglected the above sources of inefficiency. This article seeks to address this gap in two ways. First, we present a framework for measuring OEE within AM operations; and systematically map the ‘six production losses’ to the AM workflow to codify our understanding of the main sources of inefficiency. Second, we conduct a simulation study investigating how the AM operations approach, product variety and lead time requirements affect the OEE of an AM process. Our findings demonstrate that – with some conceptual adaptation – the OEE metric can indeed be used in the context of AM. Furthermore, we identify the approach to AM operation as a major determinant of performance in terms of the OEE achieved. We conclude with a set of managerial insights on how to apply the OEE metric to AM processes in practice.

Lipoprotein(a) vascular accumulation in mice. In vivo analysis of the role of lysine binding sites using recombinant adenovirus. (1997)

Although the mechanism by which lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] contributes to vascular disease remains unclear, consequences of its binding to the vessel surface are commonly cited in postulated atherogenic pathways. Because of the presence of plasminogen-like lysine binding sites (LBS) in apo(a), fibrin binding has been proposed to play an important role in Lp(a)'s vascular accumulation. Indeed, LBS are known to facilitate Lp(a) fibrin binding in vitro. To examine the importance of apo(a) LBS in Lp(a) vascular accumulation in vivo, we generated three different apo(a) cDNAs: (a) mini apo(a), based on wild-type human apo(a); (b) mini apo(a) containing a naturally occurring LBS defect associated with a point mutation in kringle 4-10; and (c) human- rhesus monkey chimeric mini apo(a), which contains the same LBS defect in the context of several additional changes. Recombinant adenovirus vectors were constructed with the various apo(a) cDNAs and injected into human apoB transgenic mice. At the viral dosage used in these experiments, all three forms of apo(a) were found exclusively within the lipoprotein fractions, and peak Lp(a) plasma levels were nearly identical (approximately 45 mg/dl). In vitro analysis of Lp(a) isolated from the various groups of mice confirmed that putative LBS defective apo(a) yielded Lp(a) unable to bind lysine-Sepharose. Quantitation of in vivo Lp(a) vascular accumulation in mice treated with the various adenovirus vectors revealed significantly less accumulation of both types of LBS defective Lp(a), relative to wild-type Lp(a). These results indicate a correlation between lysine binding properties of Lp(a) and vascular accumulation, supporting the postulated role of apo(a) LBS in this potentially atherogenic characteristic of Lp(a).

Dewetted Au Nanoparticles on TiO2 Surfaces: Evidence of a Size-Independent Plasmonic Photoelectrochemical Response (2019)

We induce solid-state dewetting of thin Au films (nominal thickness of 0.5–10 nm) on flat TiO2 surfaces to produce Au nanoparticles with an average size tunable in the 3–200 nm range. Such Au-decorated TiO2 surfaces enable plasmonic photoelectrochemical water splitting under visible light illumination (450–750 nm), with a photon-to-current conversion efficiency that reaches a maximum for TiO2 surfaces decorated with ∼30 nm sized Au particles. Optical measurements show, as expected, a red shift of the plasmon resonance with the increasing Au nanoparticle size. More interestingly, the photocurrent is found to peak for every photoanode at ∼600 nm regardless of the Au nanoparticle size, i.e., the wavelength of maximum photocurrent is size-independent. Such a remarkable observation can be ascribed to a hot electron injection cutoff effect, i.e., can be explained in terms of the interband versus intraband transition scenario.
Active sites in char gasification. Quarterly technical progress report, 1 January 1985-31 March 1985 (1985)

This project is concerned with the study of the nature and behavior of ''active sites'' in the gasification of chars produced from synthesized model (with respect to coal) compounds, primarily those of the phenol-formaldehyde family of resins. Of the various characterization tools that have been identified to accomplish the objectives of this project, the development of a reliable measure of the total active surface area of the chars is an important one. The current thrust is to adapt O/sub 2/ chemisorption techniques specifically to the chars of interest. The resultant ehemisorption procedure is to be carried out in a TGA/mass spectrometer apparatus that has been under development for this purpose. The basic characteristics of this apparatus have been outlined in a previous quarterly report (DOE/PC60800-4). In the current report, we present a discussion of the O/sub 2/ chemisorption technique, including its limitations, and summarize preliminary data obtained with the apparatus and the concomitant operating difficulties encountered, as well as the current status of this phase of the project. 13 refs., 2 figs.
