Um olhar sobre o legado das narrativas orais (2013)

Nosso estudo pretende mostrar que a herança deixada pelos Irmãos Grimm não se resume aos duzentos e dez contos de fadas publicados em Kinder- und Hausmärchen. A leitura de tais contos continua a seduzir gerações de leitores e de ouvintes. Somando-se a isso, permite ainda inúmeras adaptações no terreno da literatura, assim como no cinema, na televisão, na música, nas artes gráficas, dentre outras expressões artísticas e midiáticas. Nesse sentido, no presente estudo destacamos que o legado dos Grimm está, também, no método de recolha e de edição que eles definiram e divulgaram, bem como na dignidade e notoriedade que vieram trazer tanto às literaturas orais e populares como à literatura infanto-juvenil. No contato com os contos populares, podemos argumentar a existência de diferenças no modo como um “iletrado” e um “letrado” convivem com estes textos, mas isso não diminui em nada a importância quer desta literatura quer da recolha dos Irmãos Grimm. Na observação de tal convívio, percebemos a universalidade dos contos maravilhosos (e de outros gêneros orais), a sua transversalidade social e cultural; e se percebe como numa recolha de literatura oral não devemos ignorar determinadas classes sociais ou profissionais nem certas faixas etárias (nem as mais novas nem as intermédias). Nosso objetivo, portanto, assenta-se em mostrar como os contos dos Irmãos Grimm assumem uma herança antiga e são eles próprios uma herança deixada às gerações vindouras. Os contos representam um legado que continuará a desafiar-nos desde a simples palavra que o designa: “conto”. Portanto, “popular”, “oral”, “tradicional”, “folclórico”, “de fadas” ou “maravilhoso” serão termos sempre insuficientes ou demasiado ambiciosos para catalogar os contos que nos colocamos a pensar.
Advanced Modeling And Imaging For Seismic Acquisition – A GOM Subsalt Example (2012)

We developed a workflow for advanced seismic acquisition design. Visibility analyses, wave-equation modeling, RTM imaging and critical reflection illuminations are used to understand the causes of poorer images beneath the salt in the deepwater of Gulf of Mexico. Results indicate that the poorly imaged subsalt target horizons are partly because of the limited maximum offset (4 to 7 km) in acquisition and processing, and partly because of the critical angle reflections at the base of the salt. For the former, one can increase the cable length in acquisition. However, if critical reflection becomes a problem, it is impossible to improve imaging using surface seismic, no matter how long the cable is used. The advanced modeling and imaging can be used not only for seismic acquisition design, but also for subsalt structural interpretation.
Mapping of storage G′ and loss G″ moduli of blood during coagulation using supersonic shear imaging (2016)

Deep vein thrombosis can lead to pulmonary embolism when a part of the thrombus breaks causing pulmonary veins blockage. This complication is often fatal; therefore its prediction is of great interest. Knowing the viscoelastic properties of the blood clot can help both diagnosis and choice of treatment. In this work, the coagulation process was monitored using classical rheometry and supersonic shear imaging. Storage (G') and loss (G'') moduli were calculated from shear wave velocity and attenuation measurements. For the estimation of the attenuation coefficient it was necessary to consider the diffractive nature of the generated wave. A cylindrical propagation correction was applied in order to avoid overestimating the attenuation. The evolution of G' and G" during the coagulation process was in good agreement for both techniques. SSI proved to be useful to provide G' and G" maps of clots at different times during coagulation. This could eventually allow in vivo characterization of thrombi mechanical properties which have potential use in predicting thrombi breakage.
A 144dB, 8.5mW fourth-order single loop delta-sigma modulator (2004)

In this paper a 144dB, fourth-order single-loop delta-sigma modulator has been presented with an over-sampling ratio of 1024 and an overload factor of -1.24 dB for a bandwidth of 1000 Rad/s with a new low power integrator in the front-end of the modulator. In this integrator two large mismatch-free capacitors are well embedded to strongly attenuate the input sampling (KT/C) noise without using any large sampling or integrating capacitors. Therefore, the first integrator can be easily designed with a little power and area consumption. Also CDS used in the front-end integrator strongly reduces the 1/f noise and cancels out op-amp's offset. The whole modulator consumes only 8.5 mW from a single 3.0V supply in a 0.6-/spl mu/m CMOS technology.

IterMVS: Iterative Probability Estimation for Efficient Multi-View Stereo (2021)

We present IterMVS, a new data-driven method for high-resolution multi-view stereo. We propose a novel GRU-based estimator that encodes pixel-wise probability distributions of depth in its hidden state. Ingesting multi-scale matching information, our model refines these distributions over multiple iterations and infers depth and confidence. To extract the depth maps, we combine traditional classification and regression in a novel manner. We verify the efficiency and effectiveness of our method on DTU, Tanks&amp;Temples and ETH3D. While being the most efficient method in both memory and run-time, our model achieves competitive performance on DTU and better generalization ability on Tanks&amp;Temples as well as ETH3D than most state-of-the-art methods. Code is available at https://github.com/FangjinhuaWang/IterMVS.
Abstract A61: Ascites-derived and tissue-derived ovarian cancer cell primary 3D cultures aimed for personalized medicine (2018)

Abstract Objective: Ovarian cancer is a poor-prognosis gynecologic disease with over 220,000 diagnoses each year worldwide and a 5-year survival rate less than 40%. In this study, we present a method for isolation and characterization of ovarian cancer cells from patient-derived ascites and tissue samples by using three-dimensional (3D) cell culture. Materials and Methods: Ascites and tissue samples were obtained from primary ovarian, peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancer patients intraoperatively. Samples were isolated and cultured within 6 hours after collection. After isolation, cells were resuspended in Matrigel and were placed at the center of each well. Optimized medium is added to each well. NanoCulture Plate LH96 (Low-Binding, MH pattern, 96-wells, Medical and Biological Laboratories Co., Ltd., Japan) were used for 3D cell culture. Plates were incubated at 37°C. The cultures were examined for metabolically active cells by ATP assay and medium changed on days 0, 1, 4, 7, 10, and 14. Results: We successfully obtained ascites-derived primary cell cultures within 1-7 days from 100% (3/31) of the ascites samples and 62% (5/8) from tissue-derived primary cell cultures. Spheroids-like structures were formed in 30% (1/3) of ascites samples and 50% (4/8) of tissue samples. The tumorigenicity and invasiveness of the cells were demonstrated using new 3D spheroid model cultured in vitro by NanoCulture Plate LH96. Conclusion: Primary ascites and tissue culture of ovarian cancer cells can successfully be cultured by 3D cell culture plates. We may apply this method for drug sensitivity testing; therefore, 3D cell culture has a potential to evaluate the sensitivity of candidate chemotherapeutic drug for individual patients.

Ligandenaustauschreaktionen von Fluoratomen mit Chloratomen bei Phosphorverbindungen der Koordinationszahl 3 und 4 (1972)

Abstract Ligandenaustauschreaktionen' von Fluoratomen mit Chloratomen wurden an folgenden phosphorhaltigen Zentralgruppen ausgeführt: CH 3 P &lt; CH 3 P(O) &lt;, CH 3 P(S) &lt; und CH 3 P(Se)7&lt;. Wie aus den gemessenen Gleichgewichtsverteilungen hervorgeht, erweisen sich diejenigen Komponenten bevorzugt, die die größte Symmetrie aufweisen. Hingegen entspricht beim Austausch zwischen Chlor‐ und Bromatomen, im Falle der Methylphosphonylderivate, die Gleichgewichtsverteilung derjenigen, die auf rein statischer Basis erwartet werden kann. Es ist bemerkenswert, daß die Gleichgewichtsverteilungen kaum von der Beschaffenheit der Zentralgruppe abhängen. Infolge der Disproportionierung von CH 3 PF 2 war es nicht möglich, den Austausch im System CH 3 PF 2 / CH 3 PCl 2 quantitativ auszuwerten; es war jedoch möglich, während der ersten Minuten der Reaktion den Austausch zwischen den Halogenatomen, sowie die Bildung von CH 3 PFC1 als zusätzliche Komponente, zu beobachten.
Particulate Adenylate Cyclase Plays a Key Role in Human Sperm Olfactory Receptor-mediated Chemotaxis (2004)

Human sperm chemotaxis is a critical component of the fertilization process, but the molecular basis for this behavior remains unclear. Recent evidence shows that chemotactic responses depend on activation of the sperm olfactory receptor, hOR17-4. Certain floral scents, including bourgeonal, activate hOR17-4, trigger pronounced Ca(2+) fluxes, and evoke chemotaxis. Here, we provide evidence that hOR17-4 activation is coupled to a cAMP-mediated signaling cascade. Multidimensional protein identification technology was used to identify potential components of a G-protein-coupled cAMP transduction pathway in human sperm. These products included various membrane-associated adenylate cyclase (mAC) isoforms and the G(olf)-subunit. Using immunocytochemistry, specific mAC isoforms were localized to particular cell regions. Whereas mAC III occurred in the sperm head and midpiece, mAC VIII was distributed predominantly in the flagellum. In contrast, G(olf) was found mostly in the flagellum and midpiece. The observed spatial distribution patterns largely correspond to the spatiotemporal character of hOR17-4-induced Ca(2+) changes. Behavioral and Ca(2+) signaling responses of human sperm to bourgeonal were bioassayed in the presence, or absence, of the adenylate cyclase antagonist SQ22536. This specific agent inhibits particulate AC, but not soluble AC, activation. Upon incubation with SQ22536, cells ceased to exhibit Ca(2+) signaling, chemotaxis, and hyperactivation (faster swim speed and flagellar beat rate) in response to bourgeonal. Particulate AC is therefore required for induction of hOR17-4-mediated human sperm behavior and represents a promising target for future design of contraceptive drugs.
ExpertMatcher: Automating ML Model Selection for Clients using Hidden Representations (2019)

Recently, there has been the development of Split Learning, a framework for distributed computation where model components are split between the client and server (Vepakomma et al., 2018b). As Split Learning scales to include many different model components, there needs to be a method of matching client-side model components with the best server-side model components. A solution to this problem was introduced in the ExpertMatcher (Sharma et al., 2019) framework, which uses autoencoders to match raw data to models. In this work, we propose an extension of ExpertMatcher, where matching can be performed without the need to share the client's raw data representation. The technique is applicable to situations where there are local clients and centralized expert ML models, but the sharing of raw data is constrained.
Highly Regioselective Oxygenation of C−H Bonds: Diamidomanganese Constructs with Attached Substrates as Catalyst Models (2000)

Exclusive oxidation of the 3-position of a substituted cyclohexane ring was achieved through attachment of the substrate to a designed scaffold supporting a diamidomanganese complex (see scheme). The covalent tether, viewed as a mimic of noncovalent recognition forces, predisposed the methylene group at C3 in the proximity of the metal center. The simplicity of these models allows facile evaluation of novel metal complexes with regard to their ability to functionalize C−H bonds. P = protecting group.

A Dynamical State Space Representation and Performance Analysis of a Feedback Controlled Rotary Left Ventricular Assist Device (2005)

The Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is a mechanical device that can assist an ailing natural heart in performing its functions. The latest generation of such devices is a rotary-type pump which is generally much smaller, lighter, and quieter than the conventional pulsatile-type pump. The rotary-type pumps are controlled by varying the rotor (impeller) speed. If the patient is in a health care facility, the pump speed can be adjusted manually by a trained clinician. However, an important challenge facing the increased use of these LVADs, is the desire to allow the patient to return home. The development of an appropriate patient adaptive feedback speed controller for the pump is therefore crucial to meet this challenge. In addition to being able to adapt to changes in the patient’s daily activities by automatically regulating the pump speed, the controller must also be able to prevent the occurrence of suction. In this paper we will discuss the theoretical and practical issues associated with the development of such a controller. As a flrst step, we will present a state-space mathematical model, based on a nonlinear equivalent circuit flow model, which represents the interaction of the pump with the left ventricle of the heart. The associated state space model is a 5-dimensional vector of time varying nonlinear difierential equations. The time variation occurs over 4 consecutive intervals representing the contraction, ejection, relaxation, and fllling phases of the left ventricle. The pump in the model is represented by a nonlinear equation which relates the pump rotational speed and the pump flow to the pressure difierence across the pump. Using this model, we will discuss a gradient based feedback controller which increases the pump speed to meet the patient requirements up to the point where suction may occur. At that point the controller will maintain a constant pump speed keeping the gradient of the minimum pump flow at zero. Simulation results using the model equipped with the feedback controller are presented for two cases representing two levels of patient activities. Performance of the controller for noisy measurements of pump blood flow is also investigated. Our results show that such a feedback controller performs very well and is fairly robust against measurements noise.
Use of a conformational switching aptamer for rapid and specific ex vivo identification of central nervous system lymphoma in a xenograft model (2018)

Improved tools for providing specific intraoperative diagnoses could improve patient care. In neurosurgery, intraoperatively differentiating non-operative lesions can be challenging, often necessitating immunohistochemical (IHC) procedures which require up to 24-48 hours. Here, we evaluate the feasibility of generating rapid <i>ex vivo</i> specific labeling using a novel lymphoma-specific fluorescent switchable aptamer. Our B-cell lymphoma-specific switchable aptamer produced only low-level fluorescence in its unbound conformation and generated an 8-fold increase in fluorescence once bound to its target on CD20-positive lymphoma cells. The aptamer demonstrated strong binding to B-cell lymphoma cells within 10 minutes of incubation. We applied the switchable aptamer to <i>ex vivo</i> xenograft tissue harboring B-cell lymphoma and astrocytoma, and within one hour specific visual identification of lymphoma was routinely possible. In this proof-of-concept study in human cell culture and orthotopic xenografts, we conclude that a fluorescent switchable aptamer can provide rapid and specific labeling of B-cell lymphoma, and that developing aptamer-based labeling approaches could simplify tissue staining and drastically reduce time to histopathological diagnoses compared with IHC-based methods. We propose that switchable aptamers could enhance expeditious, accurate intraoperative decision-making.
An Empirical Study of Marginal Structural Models for Time-Independent Treatment (2002)

In non-randomized treatment studies a significant problem for statisticians is determining how best to adjust for confounders. Marginal structural models (MSMs) and inverse probability of treatment weighted (IPTW) estimators are useful in analyzing the causal effect of treatment in observational studies. Given an IPTW estimator a doubly robust augmented IPTW (AIPTW) estimator orthogonalizes it resulting in a more e±cient estimator than the IPTW estimator. One purpose of this paper is to make a practical comparison between the IPTW estimator and the doubly robust AIPTW estimator via a series of Monte- Carlo simulations. We also consider the selection of the optimal choice in the class of IPTW estimators. Also included is an empirical study that examines the range of efficiency across the class of AIPTW estimators. Both the IPTW and AIPTW estimators are applied in the analysis of data collected from The Study of Physical Performance and Age-Related Changes in Sonomans.

Integrated high-frequency inductors using amorphous electrodeposited Co-P core (2002)

We have made integrated inductive components with a cobalt-phosphorous core by electrodeposition and characterized them. Electrodeposited Co-P is considered an alternative to nickel-iron alloys, which have similar magnetic properties but lower electrical resistivity. The inductive components show a steady inductance up to 10 MHz.
Automatic Image Segmentation by Dynamic Region Growth and Multiresolution Merging (2009)

Image segmentation is a fundamental task in many computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose a new unsupervised color image segmentation algorithm, which exploits the information obtained from detecting edges in color images in the CIE L *a *b * color space. To this effect, by using a color gradient detection technique, pixels without edges are clustered and labeled individually to identify some initial portion of the input image content. Elements that contain higher gradient densities are included by the dynamic generation of clusters as the algorithm progresses. Texture modeling is performed by color quantization and local entropy computation of the quantized image. The obtained texture and color information along with a region growth map consisting of all fully grown regions are used to perform a unique multiresolution merging procedure to blend regions with similar characteristics. Experimental results obtained in comparison to published segmentation techniques demonstrate the performance advantages of the proposed method.
Minimum Distance Localization for a Robot with Limited Visibility (2006)

Minimum distance localization is the problem of finding the shortest possible path for a robot to eliminate ambiguity regarding its position in the environment. We consider the problem of minimum distance localization in self-similar environments, where the robot's sensor has limited visibility, and describe two randomized algorithms that solve the problem. Our algorithms reduce the risk of requiring impractical observations and solve the problem without excessive computation. Our results are validated using numerical simulations.
