Development of MPEG standards for 3D and free viewpoint video (2005)

An overview of 3D and free viewpoint video is given in this paper with special focus on related standardization activities in MPEG. Free viewpoint video allows the user to freely navigate within real world visual scenes, as known from virtual worlds in computer graphics. Suitable 3D scene representation formats are classified and the processing chain is explained. Examples are shown for image-based and model-based free viewpoint video systems, highlighting standards conform realization using MPEG-4. Then the principles of 3D video are introduced providing the user with a 3D depth impression of the observed scene. Example systems are described again focusing on their realization based on MPEG-4. Finally multi-view video coding is described as a key component for 3D and free viewpoint video systems. MPEG is currently working on a new standard for multi-view video coding. The conclusion is that the necessary technology including standard media formats for 3D and free viewpoint is available or will be available in the near future, and that there is a clear demand from industry and user side for such applications. 3DTV at home and free viewpoint video on DVD will be available soon, and will create huge new markets.
Foreword (2013)

It is not so long ago that links in a wired network were not able to cooperate freely but were subject to central control by ISDN and ATM protocols. We now live in a world where Internet protocols have made it possible for networks to grow like weeds. We take it for granted that links should regulate their own use by generating prices that reflect congestion and that users adjust rates in response to the cost of traversing the network.
Sulfur-doped graphene laminates for EMI shielding applications (2015)

Herein, for the first time, we demonstrate that a laminated structure of sulfur-doped reduced graphene oxide (SrGO) provides significant potential for electromagnetic interference shielding applications.
BINDING OF PURIFIED Cl SUBCOMPONENTS, Cl INACTIVATOR AND THEIR COMPLEXES TO IMMOBILIZED HEPARIN (1981)

Under specified conditions purified C1q, activated C1r and C1s and C1r-C1s complexes were bound independently of Ca2+, to heparin-Sepharose, and could be eluted by an increasing salt gradient. Zymogen C1r and C1s, C1r-C1s complexes, C1 inactivator, and C1r-C1s-C1 activator complexes were not bound. However, at lower conductance Ca2+ independent binding of C14 occurred, which was utilized in the purification of C14 and C1s. In the presence of C1t (serum amyloid P component), C1s was firmly retained on heparin-Sepharose, which was probably due to formation of a C1s-C1t complex.
Catalyst-Layer Ionomer Imaging of Fuel Cells (2015)

Investigation of membrane/electrode assembly (MEA) microstructure has become an essential step to optimize the MEA components and manufacturing processes or to study the MEA degradation. For these investigations, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a tool of choice as it provides direct imaging of the different components. TEM is then widely used for analyzing the catalyst nanoparticles and their carbon support. However, the ionomer inside the electrode is more difficult to be imaged. The difficulties come from the fact that the ionomer forms an ultrathin layer surrounding the carbon particles and in addition, these two components, having similar density, present no difference in contrast. In this work, we show how the recent progresses in TEM techniques as spherical aberration (Cs) corrected HRTEM, electron tomography and X-EDS elemental mapping provide new possibilities for imaging this ionomer network and consequently to study its degradation.
High sensitive 3D tactile sensor with the structure of elastic pyramids on piezoresistive cantilevers (2013)

We propose a highly sensitive three-dimensional tactile sensor using the structure of elastic micro pyramids pressing on piezoresistive cantilevers. In the structure of the sensor we proposed, the forces acting on the surface of the elastomer were transmitted to the cantilevers through the pyramids. The key point of our sensor was that the cantilevers were not completely embedded inside the elastomer: a cavity under each cantilever enabled the larger deformation and thus the larger resistance change of the cantilever. Therefore the high sensitivity of the sensor could be obtained. Moreover, by using four cantilevers aligned with four pyramids, the three-dimensional force sensor was realized. The sensitivities of our sensor to forces in normal and lateral directions were about 50 times and 2.4 times higher, respectively, compared to those of a tactile sensor with the ultrathin cantilevers embedded inside an elastomer [1].
Differential expression of growth factors at the cellular level in virus-infected brain (2003)

The contribution of host factors to rabies virus (RV) transcription/replication and axonal/transsynaptic spread is largely unknown. We previously identified several host genes that are up-regulated in the mouse brain during RV infection, including neuroleukin, which is involved in neuronal growth and survival, cell motility, and differentiation, and fibroblast growth factor homologous factor 4 (FHF4), which has been implicated in limb and nervous system development. In this study, we used real-time quantitative RT-PCR to assess the expression of mRNAs specific for neuroleukin, the two isoforms of FHF4 (FHF4-1a and -1b) encoded by the FHF4 gene, and N protein of RV in neurons and astrocytes isolated by laser capture microdissection from mouse brains infected with the laboratory-adapted RV strain CVS-N2c or with a street RV of silver-haired bat origin. Differences in the gene expression patterns suggest that the capacity of RV strains to infect nonneuronal cells and differentially modulate host gene expression may be important in virus replication and spread in the CNS.
SEVO (Space Environment Viability of Organics) Preliminary Results from Orbit (2012)

SEVO (Space Environment Viability of Organics) is one of two astrobiology experiments onboard the NASA Organism/Organics Exposure to Orbital Stresses (O/OREOS) cubesat, launched in November 2010. The satellite is still operational with nominal performance and records data on a regular basis. In the SEVO experiment, four astrobiologically relevant organic thin films are exposed to radiation in low-earth orbit, including the unfiltered solar spectrum from approximately 120 - 2600 nm. The thin films are contained in each of four separate micro-environments: an atmosphere containing CO2, a low relative humidity (approximately 2%) atmosphere, an inert atmosphere representative of interstellar/interplanetary space, and a SiO2 mineral surface to measure the effects of surface catalysis. The UV/Vis spectrum of each sample is monitored in situ, with a spectrometer onboard the satellite.
Femtosecond laser inscribed high temperature fiber Bragg grating sensors (2007)

Silica-based fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) sensors are versatile devices that are typically fabricated using UV laser exposure. Their applicability is restricted to temperatures < 600°C because of the erasure of the UV generated grating structure at higher temperature. FBGs made with femtosecond IR lasers and phase masks in standard single mode fiber can have high long-term thermal stability at 1000 °C. Above 1000 °C however, the silica undergoes structural transformations that limit the functionality of the fiber. The most successful optical fiber used for high temperature sensor applications is the single crystal sapphire fiber, which has a glass transition temperature of 2030 °C. Here we present our work on retro-reflective FBGs fabricated in single mode silica and multimode sapphire fiber. For sapphire fiber Bragg gratings (SFBG), no degradation of the grating strength at high temperature was observed when tested up to 1500 °C. The SFBGs have discrete resonant wavelengths that could be used potentially as distributed optical sensor arrays up to 2000 °C. To produce a single mode response, the multimode SFBGs were probed using tapered single mode fibers producing single and low order mode reflection/transmission responses. The taper coupling improved the spectral resolution of the sapphire FBG as compared to its multimode responses.
Activation of two angiotensin‐generating systems in the balloon‐injured artery (1993)

Participation of angiotensin II in the myointimal proliferation following a vascular injury was postulated. This study assessed the potential involvement of the local angiotensin II-forming enzymes in injured arteries of dogs. The potential angiotensin II-forming enzymes are angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and chymostatin-sensitive angiotensin II-generating enzyme (CAGE) which is highly homologous to or could be identical to the mast cell chymase. Both ACE and CAGE catalyze the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. We found that the enzymatic activities of ACE and CAGE, and the mRNA levels of ACE and chymase were increased in the injury-induced hypertrophied vessels. The results suggest that ACE and CAGE participate in the hypertrophy through the production of angiotensin II which is a growth promoter for vascular smooth muscle cells.
A folic acid‐enriched diet attenuates prostate involution in response to androgen deprivation (2018)

Continuous exposure to a FA enriched diet slows prostate involution in response to androgen deprivation. Prostates from FA diet mice have increased secretory gene expression and increased luminal cell heights. The influence of dietary FA supplementation on the prostate response to androgen deprivation raises a future need to consider how dietary folic acid supplementation affects efficacy of androgen-reducing therapies for treating prostate disease.

Abscisic Acid Standardized Fig (Ficus carica) Extracts Ameliorate Postprandial Glycemic and Insulinemic Responses in Healthy Adults (2019)

Abscisic acid (ABA) can improve glucose homeostasis and reduce inflammation in mammals by activating lanthionine synthetase C-like 2 (LANCL2). This study examined the effects of two fig fruit extracts (FFEs), each administered at two different ABA doses, on glycemic index (GI) and insulinemic index (II) to a standard glucose drink. In a randomized, double-blind crossover study, 10 healthy adults consumed 4 test beverages containing FFE with postprandial glucose and insulin assessed at regular intervals over 2 h to determine GI and II responses. Test beverages containing 200 mg FFE-50× and 1200 mg FFE-10× significantly reduced GI values by -25% (<i>P</i> = 0.001) and -24% (<i>P</i> = 0.002), respectively. Two lower doses of FFE also reduced GI values compared with the reference drink (by approximately -14%), but the differences did not reach statistical significance. Addition of FFE to the glucose solution significantly reduced II values at all dosages and displayed a clear dose-response reduction: FFE-50× at 100 mg and 200 mg (-14% (<i>P</i> < 0.05) and -24% (<i>P</i> = 0.01), respectively) and FFE-10× at 600 mg and 1200 mg (-16% (<i>P</i> < 0.05) and -24% (<i>P</i> = 0.01), respectively). FFE supplementation is a promising nutritional intervention for the management of acute postprandial glucose and insulin homeostasis, and it is a possible adjunctive treatment for glycemic management of chronic metabolic disorders such as prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The influence of ion implantation on the thermal oxidation of copper (1983)

The effect of 31 species of ion implanted impurities on the thermal oxidation of polycrystalline copper, and nine implanted species on the oxidation of single crystal (110) copper is studied. The majority of these increased the oxidation resistance of the copper, the greatest effect on oxidation being caused by chromium (88% decrease), platinum, and hafnium. An increase in the degree of oxidation is found with increasing ionic radius of the implanted species. A drastic (174%) increase in the oxidation induced by vanadium implantation is associated with changes in the morphology of the oxide. The results generally support a model based on the formation of a p–n junction in the implanted oxide. Der Einfluß von 31 Arten ionenimplantierter Verunreinigungen auf die thermische Oxydation von polykristallinem Kupfer, und neun implantierten Spezies auf die Oxydation von Kupfer(110)-Einkristallen wird untersucht. Die Mehrheit davon erhöht die Oxydationsresistenz von Kupfer, der größte Einfluß auf die Oxydation wird dabei von Chrom (88% Rückgang), Platin und Hafnium verursacht. Ein Anwachsen des Oxydationsgrades wird bei anwachsendem Ionenradius der implantierten Ionen gefunden. Ein drastisches (174%) Anwachsen in der Oxydation durch Vanadiumimplantation ist verknüpft mit Änderungen in der Morphologie der Oxide. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen im allgemeinen ein Modell, das auf der Bildung eines p–n-Übergangs im implantierten Oxid beruht.
Robust and resilient designs from the bottom-up: Technology, CAD, circuit, and system issues (2012)

The semiconductor industry is facing a critical research challenge: design future high performance and energy efficient systems while satisfying historical standards for reliability and lower costs. The primary cause of this challenge is device and circuit parameter variability, which results from the manufacturing process and system operation. As technology scales, the adverse impact of these variations on system-level metrics increases. In this paper, we describe an interdisciplinary effort toward robust and resilient designs that mitigate the effects of device and circuit parameter variations in order to enhance system performance, energy efficiency, and reliability. Collaboration between the technology, CAD, circuit, and system levels of the compute hierarchy can foster the development of cost-effective and efficient solutions.
Modéliser et représenter la création audio-numérique pour la pérenniser (2022)

La transmission et la préservation des œuvres musicales s’est appuyée au cours des derniers siècles sur un substrat culturel stable tripartite :- la partition, fondée sur l’écriture musicale abstraite et le système tempéré ;- l’organologie traditionnelle classifiant les instruments selon deux axes : pour les hauteurs, le modèle des voix (SATB) ; et pour le timbre, l’interface permettant le contrôle de la source sonore (cordes frottées, pincées, frappées, etc.)- la lutherie, capable de fabriquer ces instruments, de les adapter au cours du temps tout en garantissant une certaine authenticité, ou encore de produire de nouveaux instruments pouvant s’intégrer à l’organologie (par exemple, le saxophone au XIXe siècle).Cette organisation tripolaire possède une grande stabilité : les premiers instruments faisant appel à l’électronique entre les deux guerres (le Theremin, les ondes Martenot, etc.) ont introduit de nouveaux rapports à la matière sonore mais ont cependant privilégié l’intégration à l’écriture traditionnelle. Toutefois, l’apparition des systèmes électroniques et numériques a bouleversé le monde de la composition, déstabilisant ces traditions pluriséculaires et mettant en péril la préservation de la musique contemporaine faisant appel aux technologies. Devant la nécessité de mettre à jour les œuvres pour faire face à l’obsolescence, il nous paraît fondamental d’étudier les processus de composition, d’en extraire les informations pertinentes, nécessaires pour ressaisir certaines intentions originales du compositeur. Notre approche se fonde sur la modélisation des processus de production et la création d’un langage permettant de représenter ces pratiques de composition. Ce langage sera à la base d’un environnement permettant de capter et de naviguer au sein d’un flux de production.

Phonon-assisted nonradiative energy transfer from colloidal quantum dots to monocrystalline bulk silicon (2012)

In this work, we used bulk monocrystalline p-type Si (100) substrate as the acceptor and core/shell CdSe/ZnS QDs as the donor. To match the absorption spectrum of silicon, QD peak emission wavelength was set to 580 nm. Our Si substrates possessed approximately 1.65 nm thick native oxide on the top, as verified by the ellipsometry measurement. We deposited Al2O3 thin film on pre-cleaned Si substrates as a dielectric spacer using atomic layer deposition(ALD) technique.
Proceedings of the fourth workshop on Exploiting semantic annotations in information retrieval (2011)

These proceedings contain the invited talks and contributed posters of the Fourth Workshop on Exploiting Semantic Annotations in Information Retrieval (ESAIR 2011), held at CIKM 2011 in Glasgow, Scotland, on October 28, 2011. After successful workshops at ECIR 2008 in Glasgow, WSDM 2009 in Barcelona, and CIKM 2010 in Toronto, this year's workshop will focus on how to best formulate and use semantic annotation of information objects and information streams for information access tasks such as search, retrieval, categorization and related information refinement tasks. ESAIR 2011 will be a real workshop where researchers from these different disciplines will work together to identify natural use cases, barriers to success, and work on ways of addressing them:

Use Cases: Are we looking at the right applications? What are use cases that make obvious the need for semantic annotation of information? What tasks cannot be solved by document retrieval using the traditional bag-of-words? What are the prerequisites of successful application? How can the expressive power of semantic annotation best be put to use? What is keeping searchers from exploring these powerful search requests?

Annotations: Are we using the right types of data and annotation? What types of annotation are available? Are there crucial differences between author-, software-, user-, and machine-generated annotations? What are novel types of annotations that are within our grasp? What semantic theories do we need to formulate further annotation schemes?

Data Curation: Are we using contextual information in the right way? Annotations may live inside documents, or be stored externally (e.g., annotated by uncontrolled authors or tools) or both (e.g., annotation with linked data). How to keep data and metadata together? Does the annotation stop somewhere, or is all social or linked data of potential use for searching or navigating? How important is source of the annotations? Are there issues with credibility or trust?

Result Aggregation: Are we using the right types of results? Whereas IR focuses almost exclusively at finding individual chunks of information, DB naturally focuses on results that combine information and produce aggregated results (think of OLAP queries), and KM naturally deals with the whole information space. How can we fruitfully combine these strengths?

The workshop will consist of three main parts: 
A keynote by Arjen de Vries to help us formulate the challenges.
A boaster and poster session with 13 papers selected by the program committee from 15 submissions (87%). Each paper was reviewed by at least two members of the program committee.
Break out groups on different aspects of exploiting semantic annotations, with reports being discussed in the final session.
Flavonoids syntheses. VI. Synthesis and spectral properties of 4-arylcoumarins (neoflavones). (1987)

Eight neoflavones were synthesized for examination of their spectral properties. In the mass spectra, 2'-oxygenated neoflavones showed characteristic fragments owing to dehydroxylation or demethoxylation. Other spectral data ultraviolet, proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance, however, showed no specific features that could be used to characterize the structures.
High dispersive mirrors for the high energy lasers (2011)

We report on two newly developed types of dispersive mirrors. First type covers range of 1027-1033 nm, has 99.9% reflectance and -4500 fs <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> of group delay dispersion (GDD). When implementing these mirrors in Yb:YAG disk oscillator we observe changes on the surface of the mirrors due to thermal effects. Second type is high dispersive mirror (HDM) which provides GDD of -3000 fs <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and covers wavelength range of 1020-1035 nm. The fabricated mirrors have reflectance 99.97%. We haven't observed any thermal effects on the second type of HDM, it behaves similar to non-dispersive quarter wave stack mirrors. This HDM were successfully implemented in an Yb:YAG disk oscillator over 1 kW of intracavity circulated power. The reported mirrors expand possibilities of multilayer optics. The mentioned large GDD allows to compress the nanosecond pulses down to femtosecond range.

Dominant-negative Pes1 mutants inhibit ribosomal RNA processing and cell proliferation via incorporation into the PeBoW-complex (2006)

The nucleolar PeBoW-complex, consisting of Pes1, Bop1 and WDR12, is essential for cell proliferation and processing of ribosomal RNA in mammalian cells. Here we have analysed the physical and functional interactions of Pes1 deletion mutants with the PeBoW-complex. Pes1 mutants M1 and M5, with N- and C-terminal truncations, respectively, displayed a dominant-negative phenotype. Both mutants showed nucleolar localization, blocked processing of the 36S/32S precursors to mature 28S rRNA, inhibited cell proliferation, and induced high p53 levels in proliferating, but not in resting cells. Mutant M1 and M5 proteins associated with large pre-ribosomal complexes and co-immunoprecipitated Bop1 and WDR12 proteins indicating their proper incorporation into the PeBoW-complex. We conclude that the dominant-negative effect of the M1 and M5 mutants is mediated by the impaired function of the PeBoW-complex.
