A proposal of storage power control method with data placement in an environment using many HDDs (2015)

In recent years, the scale of datacenters has become larger due to the explosive increase in the amount of digital data. As a result, the growth of energy consumption is an important factor in the management use cost of datacenters. Storing and processing such large volumes of data by database applications are the core technologies in this Big Data era. However, storage accounts for a significant percentage of a datacenter's energy consumption. Therefore, we try to reduce the energy of storage to save on the total cost of datacenters. The purpose of this study is to reduce the energy consumption of storage while minimizing the deterioration of application performance. Although many methods for storage energy saving have been discussed, since it is difficult to control it efficiently only at the storage level, we have investigated the storage power control mechanism on middleware (database) layer. In this paper, we use TPC-H (a database benchmark) as an application example of data processing. We evaluate a data placement control method of storage proposed for energy saving in the database run-time processing suitable for a large-scale environment with many HDDs.

Specific Detection of Proteins Using Exceptionally Responsive Magnetic Particles (2018)

Sensitivity and specificity are among the most important parameters for viable sensor technologies based on magnetic nanoparticles. In this work, we describe synthetic routes and analytical approaches to improve both aspects. Magnetic iron oxide particles having diameters of 120, 440, and 700 nm were synthesized, and their surfaces were specifically functionalized. The larger particles showed significantly stronger magnetic signals and responses when compared to commercially available magnetic particles (Dynabeads). A force-based detection method was used to distinguish specifically bound particles (via protein interactions) and nonspecifically bound ones (e.g., via physisorption). In addition, an exchange platform, denoted as exchange-induced remnant magnetization (EXIRM), was developed and utilized to detect label-free proteins specifically. Using EXIRM, the 700 nm magnetic particles showed a 7-fold increase in detection sensitivity when compared to the markedly larger commercially available Dynabeads; furthermore, EXIRM exhibited high specificity, even in a 100-fold increase of nontargeted protein. More generally, particle size effects, reaction times, and dynamic ranges are evaluated and discussed herein.
E125 Laser cutting technology which use the water jet guiding the laser beam : Application examination for the thick plate cutting (2013)

Due to the increase of aged nuclear reactors, reduction of radioactive wastes is expected and cutting technology for thick structure would be necessary. Thermal cutting technology would be convenient for cutting thick materials, but generation of radioactive fume is one of the problems. A water jet-guided laser cutting is one of the suitable technologies for this application, because radioactive fume would be confined in the water and doze level won't be increased. However, this technology was developed for precision machining like dicing and slotting of silicon wafers, it is difficult to cut thick materials In this study, cutting technology for thick material with a water jet-guided laser was discussed Phenomenon during cutting thick stainless steel was observed by using high speed camera and optimum conditions for both water jet and laser cutting were derived. Finally, 50mm thick stainless steel plate was successfully cut by using this technology.
Multi-Camera Multi-Person Tracking for Easy Living (2000)

While intelligent environments are often cited as a reason for doing work on visual person-tracking, really making an intelligent environment exposes many realworld problems in visual tracking that must be solved to make the technology practical. In the context of our EasyLiving project in intelligent environments, we created a practical person-tracking system that solves most of the real-world problems. It uses two sets of color stereo cameras for tracking multiple people during live demonstrations in a living room. The stereo images are used for locating people, and the color images are used for maintaining their identities. The system runs quickly enough to make the room feel responsive, and it tracks multiple people standing, walking, sitting, occluding, and entering and leaving the space.

Incineration of water pollutants with activated char from coal, wood, or crop residues in a system designed to produce energy and pyrolysis by-product chemicals. Final Technical completion report (Final) (1982)

A wastewater-treatment system, particularly useful for treating chemical leachates, was developed on a laboratory scale. Subbituminous coal, 20-60-mesh, was pyrolyzed. A synthetic wastewater containing 3520 ppm total organic carbon was contacted with nonactivated char, char activated in water-saturated nitrogen at 850/sup 0/C, and coal ash. During a contact time of 0.5 hour, organic removals from the wastewater were 13.3% by nonactivated char, 38.8% by activated char, and 46.5% by ash. For a contact time of 72 hours, organic removals were about 25% for nonactivated char, 58.8% for activated char, and 53.4% for ash. This treatment system is applicable where large amounts of waste carbonaceous material (coal, wood, crop residues) are available. The spent char can be incinerated. Heat from incineration can be used in the pyrolysis step, and the coal ash can be recycled to the water-purification step.
Influence of thrombectomy volume on non-physician staff burnout and attrition in neurointerventional teams (2020)

This survey of US NI non-physician procedural staff demonstrates a self-reported burnout prevalence of 51%. This was driven more by interaction with leadership and physician staff than by thrombectomy procedural volume and stroke call. Attrition among NI non-physician procedural staff is high.

Pulsed Dynamic Nuclear Polarization with Trityl Radicals (2016)

Continuous-wave (CW) dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is now established as a method of choice to enhance the sensitivity in a variety of NMR experiments. Nevertheless, there remains a need for the development of more efficient methods to transfer polarization from electrons to nuclei. Of particular interest are pulsed DNP methods because they enable a rapid and efficient polarization transfer that, in contrast with CW DNP methods, is not attenuated at high magnetic fields. Here we report nuclear spin orientation via electron spin-locking (NOVEL) experiments using the polarizing agent trityl OX063 in glycerol/water at a temperature of 80 K and a magnetic field of 0.34 T. [superscript 1]H NMR signal enhancements up to 430 are observed, and the buildup of the local polarization occurs in a few hundred nanoseconds. Thus, NOVEL can efficiently dynamically polarize [superscript 1]H atoms in a system that is of general interest to the solid-state DNP NMR community. This is a first, important step toward the general application of pulsed DNP at higher fields.

SUMMARY Insome patients symptomsimprove after therestoration ofsinus rhythmfromatrial fibrillation. Toassessthesize andmechanism ofsuchchange, exercise capacity andpulsed Doppler left ventricular inflow velocities were assessed in20patients withestablished atrial fibrillation. Treadmill exercise capacity was assessed bymeasuring maximal oxygen consumption and anaerobic threshold before andon day1and28daysafter elective DC cardioversion. Therelative contribution ofatrial contraction to left ventricular filling was determined byrelating the maximumheight oftheA wave tothemaximumheight oftheEwave (A/E) oftheDoppler velocity timecurve.Cardioversion was successful in14patients. Maximaloxygen consumption and anaerobic threshold were unchanged on day1andincreased byday28inall14patients. The percentageimprovement was inversely related tothebaseline values; however, theabsolute improvement was small inall patients. Themean A/Eratio increased significantly fromday1today 28inall14patients. Thustherestoration ofsinus rhythm was associated witha delayed improvement inexercise capacity that may inpartbeduetoa slowimprovement inatrial contractility andpeakcardiac outputafter cardioversion.

The IBM z13 memory subsystem for big data (2015)

The IBM z13™ system uses the new IBM Centaur memory buffer chip, along with system topology changes, to more than triple system memory capacity (relative to the IBM zEnterprise™ EC12) to 10 TB, and more than triple the drawer-level memory bandwidth to 384 GB/s, and double the DIMM (dual in-line memory module) frequency to 1,600 MHz. The z13 eliminates an asynchronous interface for better store protect key performance. The new memory power save feature on the z13 extends the benefit of the IBM customer power save mode and the IBM cycle steering recovery for lower power. The z13 system builds upon the IBM redundant array of independent memory (RAIM), introduced on the IBM z196 system. New reliability features include single-channel memory bus replay, incremental background lane calibration, and memory scrub hard-error management. An innovative fetch and store tagging architecture, along with a memory quiesce engine, is added to detect RAIM asynchronization events and to re-synchronize memory channels for better performance.

Modeling participatory learning as a control mechanism (1993)

We discuss the participatory learning model originally introduced by Yager [IEEE Trans. Syst. Man Cybern. SMC-20, 1229–1234 (1990)]. We analyze the learning mechanism as a stable control strategy. We show how the learning mechanism used in participatory learning can be expressed in the form of a fuzzy rule base. We use this rule base formulation to provide new learning rules. We modify the Widrow-Hoff rule to include a participatory learning mechanism. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Deep Implicit Volume Compression (2020)

We describe a novel approach for compressing truncated signed distance fields (TSDF) stored in 3D voxel grids, and their corresponding textures. To compress the TSDF, our method relies on a block-based neural network architecture trained end-to-end, achieving state-of-the-art rate-distortion trade-off. To prevent topological errors, we losslessly compress the signs of the TSDF, which also upper bounds the reconstruction error by the voxel size. To compress the corresponding texture, we designed a fast block-based UV parameterization, generating coherent texture maps that can be effectively compressed using existing video compression algorithms. We demonstrate the performance of our algorithms on two 4D performance capture datasets, reducing bitrate by 66% for the same distortion, or alternatively reducing the distortion by 50% for the same bitrate, compared to the state-of-the-art.
DNA Mismatch Recognition by a Hexacoordinate Silicon Sandwich–Ruthenium Hybrid Complex (2014)

The diastereoselective synthesis of two dinuclear Ru–Si complexes is reported, in which silicon(IV) is coordinated in an octahedral fashion by two 1,10-phenanthrolines and one 4,5-pyrenediolato ligand and additionally η6-coordinated to a (η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium(II) moiety through one fused benzene ring of the pyrene ligand. One of these Ru–Si hybrid complexes was found to selectively stabilize DNA duplexes that contain cytosine–cytosine or cytosine–thymine mismatches, and it is proposed that this occurs by a novel dual insertion/intercalation binding mode in which the entire ruthenium sandwich unit is introduced into the DNA π-stacking at the site of the DNA mismatch.
Relative Intensity of Abdominal Organs in MR Images (1985)

Knowledge of the normal relative intensity of organs and tissues is a valuable aid to clinical interpretation of magnetic resonance images. In this study the in vivo spin echo image intensities of normal parenchymal organs and other structures in the upper abdomen were evaluated for eight parameter combinations. The examinations of 40 patients were used. Image intensity and calculated T1, T2, and spin density values were obtained for liver, spleen, pancreas, renal cortex, renal medulla, bone marrow, skeletal muscle, and fat. Repetition times (TR) of 500, 1,000, 1,500, and 2,000 ms and echo times of 28 and 56 ms were used. The T1 and T2 values and relative spin density were calculated using a new algorithm. Liver had the smallest relative standard deviation of T1 of all the tissues studied. For comparison purposes, relative image intensities were calculated by normalizing them to the intensity of liver in the same image. The resulting compiled data show the normal ranks and ranges for relative intensity for the tissues in each of eight types of spin echo images. Although images with short TR and echo time (TE) are known to display the greatest T1 contrast, the mean relative intensities of all tissues except muscle and fat in the TR = 500 and TE = 28 ms images were within 20% of liver. A much larger spread in the normal relative intensities was observed with longer TE and TR.
A histology-based atlas of the C57BL/6J mouse brain deformably registered toin vivoMRI for localized radiation and surgical targeting (2009)

The C57BL/6J laboratory mouse is commonly used in neurobiological research. Digital atlases of the C57BL/6J brain have been used for visualization, genetic phenotyping and morphometry, but currently lack the ability to accurately calculate deviations between individual mice. We developed a fully three-dimensional digital atlas of the C57BL/6J brain based on the histology atlas of Paxinos and Franklin (2001 The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates 2nd edn (San Diego, CA: Academic)). The atlas uses triangular meshes to represent the various structures. The atlas structures can be overlaid and deformed to individual mouse MR images. For this study, we selected 18 structures from the histological atlas. Average atlases can be created for any group of mice of interest by calculating the mean three-dimensional positions of corresponding individual mesh vertices. As a validation of the atlas' accuracy, we performed deformable registration of the lateral ventricles to 13 MR brain scans of mice in three age groups: 5, 8 and 9 weeks old. Lateral ventricle structures from individual mice were compared to the corresponding average structures and the original histology structures. We found that the average structures created using our method more accurately represent individual anatomy than histology-based atlases alone, with mean vertex deviations of 0.044 mm versus 0.082 mm for the left lateral ventricle and 0.045 mm versus 0.068 mm for the right lateral ventricle. Our atlas representation gives direct spatial deviations for structures of interest. Our results indicate that MR-deformable histology-based atlases represent an accurate method to obtain accurate morphometric measurements of a population of mice, and that this method may be applied to phenotyping experiments in the future as well as precision targeting of surgical procedures or radiation treatment.
Effect of dietary supplementation with inulin and/or benzoic acid on the incidence and severity of post-weaning diarrhoea in weaner pigs after experimental challenge with enterotoxigenicEscherichia coli (2009)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of feeding pigs with inulin and/or benzoic acid on post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD), indices of fermentation in the gastrointestinal tract, and production in pigs experimentally infected with an enterotoxigenic strain of Escherichia coli (ETEC). Forty-eight entire male pigs (Large White×Landrace) aged 21 ± 3 days of age and weighing 4.97 ± 0.08 kg (mean ± SE) were used in a 2×2 factorial experiment, with the respective factors being inulin (0 versus 8%) and benzoic acid (0 vs. 0.5%). Feeding inulin-supplemented diets improved (p = 0.022) the faecal consistency (FC) and reduced (p = 0.001) the incidence of PWD; however, the use of benzoic acid had no effects on PWD or faecal ETEC shedding. Wet faeces (a higher FC score) were associated with increased faecal ETEC shedding (R(2) = 0.394, p = 0.001). Inulin reduced the total concentrations of short chain fatty acids (p = 0.029) in the proximal colon. The total concentration of lactic acid was increased by inulin in the caecum (p = 0.007) and proximal colon (p = 0.002). Feeding inulin or benzoic acid had no effects on production after weaning.
N‐acetyl‐GLP‐1: a DPP IV‐resistant analogue of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) with improved effects on pancreatic β‐cell‐associated gene expression (2004)

Glucagon-like peptide-1(7-36)amide (GLP-1) is a key insulinotropic hormone with the reported potential to differentiate non-insulin secreting cells into insulin-secreting cells. The short biological half-life of GLP-1 after cleavage by dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP IV) to GLP-1(9-36)amide is a major therapeutic drawback. Several GLP-1 analogues have been developed with improved stability and insulinotropic action. In this study, the N-terminally modified GLP-1 analogue, N-acetyl-GLP-1, was shown to be completely resistant to DPP IV, unlike native GLP-1, which was rapidly degraded. Furthermore, culture of pancreatic ductal ARIP cells for 72 h with N-acetyl-GLP-1 indicated a greater ability to induce pancreatic beta-cell-associated gene expression, including insulin and glucokinase. Further investigation of the effects of stable GLP-1 analogues on beta-cell differentiation is required to assess their potential in diabetic therapy.
c-Jun NH2-Terminal Kinase/c-Jun Signaling Promotes Survival and Metastasis of B Lymphocytes Transformed byTheileria (2006)

Abstract Theileria parasites infect and transform bovine lymphocytes resulting in tumors with metastatic/invasive potential. Importantly, cellular transformation is reversed upon drug-induced parasite death, and the infected lymphocyte dies of apoptosis within 48 hours. Theileria-dependent transformation leads to the constitutive activation of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (both JNK1 and JNK2) and permanent induction of activator protein-1. Inactivation of JNK (following transfection of dominant-negative mutants, or treatment with a JNK-specific inhibitor) leads to lymphocyte apoptosis, suggesting an antiapoptotic role for JNK activation in Theileria-induced B cell transformation. Theileria-induced JNK activation also leads to constitutive c-Jun phosphorylation, and inhibition of c-Jun and activator protein-1 transactivation following the expression of a dominant-negative mutant of c-Jun sensitizes Theileria-transformed B cells to apoptosis, but does not significantly affect their proliferation. Thus, JNK activation and c-Jun induction have overlapping, but nonidentical antiapoptotic roles in Theileria-induced B cell transformation. Increased sensitivity to apoptosis may be related to the fact that the expression levels of antiapoptotic proteins such as Mcl-1 and c-IAP are reduced upon c-Jun inhibition. In addition, decreased c-Jun expression correlates with the impaired ability of transfected B cells to degrade synthetic matrix in vitro, and their injection into lymphoid mice gives rise to significantly less and smaller tumors. Combined, these data argue for a role for JNK and c-Jun induction in the survival and metastasis of Theileria-transformed B cells. The similarity between Theileria-transformed B cells with human B lymphomas argues that exploiting the reversible nature of Theileria-induced transformation could throw light on the mechanisms underlying human malignancies.
