Bayesian Deep Convolutional Networks with Many Channels are Gaussian Processes (2018)

There is a previously identified equivalence between wide fully connected neural networks (FCNs) and Gaussian processes (GPs). This equivalence enables, for instance, test set predictions that would have resulted from a fully Bayesian, infinitely wide trained FCN to be computed without ever instantiating the FCN, but by instead evaluating the corresponding GP. In this work, we derive an analogous equivalence for multi-layer convolutional neural networks (CNNs) both with and without pooling layers, and achieve state of the art results on CIFAR10 for GPs without trainable kernels. We also introduce a Monte Carlo method to estimate the GP corresponding to a given neural network architecture, even in cases where the analytic form has too many terms to be computationally feasible. Surprisingly, in the absence of pooling layers, the GPs corresponding to CNNs with and without weight sharing are identical. As a consequence, translation equivariance, beneficial in finite channel CNNs trained with stochastic gradient descent (SGD), is guaranteed to play no role in the Bayesian treatment of the infinite channel limit - a qualitative difference between the two regimes that is not present in the FCN case. We confirm experimentally, that while in some scenarios the performance of SGD-trained finite CNNs approaches that of the corresponding GPs as the channel count increases, with careful tuning SGD-trained CNNs can significantly outperform their corresponding GPs, suggesting advantages from SGD training compared to fully Bayesian parameter estimation.

The MIMESIS project: A decision support system for risk analysis and the impact evaluation of crisis scenarios of Critical Infrastructures deriving from extreme natural events (2011)

Extreme natural hazards are regarded as major threats for Critical Infrastructures (CI). A fault of single elements of a CI, due to CI interdependency, can produce hardly predictable cascading effects. Coupling meteorological-climatic and geophysical predictions with the knowledge of all CIs in a given region could be used to design a new class of Decision Support Systems (DSS) able to provide a dynamic risk assessment of the elements of all CIs and to estimate the impact that a specific crisis scenario could produce. We describe the MIMESIS tool, the prototype of such a new class of DSS, which includes tools for the prediction of crisis scenarios and for the evaluation of their impacts on a set of interdependent infrastructures, in terms of reduction of the delivered services and the impact that services unavailability might have on population. MIMESIS is currently under development and will constitute the kernel of a Center of Regional Services to de- liver alert and support for crises prediction, their management, and the design of new strategies to mitigate their effects.
Morphology and strain control of hierarchical cobalt oxide nanowire electrocatalysts via solvent effect (2020)

Designing highly efficient and low-cost electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction is important for many renewable energy applications. In particular, strain engineering has been demonstrated as a powerful strategy to enhance the electrochemical performance of catalysts; however, the required complex catalyst preparation process restricts the implementation of strain engineering. Herein, we report a simple self-template method to prepare hierarchical porous Co3O4 nanowires (PNWs) with tunable compressive strain via thermal-oxidation-transformation of easily prepared oxalic acid-cobalt nitrate (Co(NO3)2) composite nanowires. Based on the complementary theoretical and experimental studies, the selection of proper solvents in the catalyst preparation is not only vital for the hierarchical structural evolution of Co3O4 but also for regulating their compressive surface strain. Because of the rich surface active sites and optimized electronic Co d band centers, the PNWs exhibit the excellent activity and stability for oxygen evolution reaction, delivering a low overpotential of 319 mV at 10 mA·cm−2 in 1 M KOH with a mass loading 0.553 mg·cm−2, which is even better than the noble metal catalyst of RuO2. This work provides a cost-effective example of porous Co3O4 nanowire preparation as well as a promising method for modification of surface strain for the enhanced electrochemical performance.
Wide-temperature-range liquid-crystal display with liquid-crystal material of negative dielectric anisotropy (2021)

A vertical alignment mode liquid-crystal display (VA-LCD) with a wide nematic temperature range was developed in this work. For development of this LC cell, a negative dielectric anisotropy liquid-crystal material (nega-LCM) with wide nematic temperature range from −40 to +90 °C (nega-WNT-LCM) was selected. The fabricated VA mode LC cell showed twice faster response time at −20 °C compared with the conventional negative-type LCM, and significantly high contrast ratio (2910:1). In addition, the VA mode LC cell with the nega-WNT-LCM would be used in a severe environment with remarkably high- and low-temperature region. Thus, the developed VA mode LC cell would be useful for outdoor-use applications, such as the automotive application.
A 0.8/2.4 GHz Tunable Active Band Pass Filter in InP/Si BiCMOS Technology (2013)

A tunable active band pass filter (BPF) has been designed in a chip-scale heterogeneous integration technology, which intimately integrates InP HBTs on a deep scaled CMOS technology. The BPF test chip consists of a programmable gain amplifier (PGA), a BPF core, and a buffer. The chip features a frequency tuning range from 0.8 to 2.4 GHz with 150 MHz pass band and four gain steps: 0, 6, 12, and 16 dB. The BPF core employs active-RC architecture for high linearity by leveraging the >300 GHz fT of InP HBTs and the programmability of CMOS. The test chip occupies 1.7×1.25 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> area including pads and draws 85/110 mA from a 3.5 V power supply for 0.8/2.4 GHz bands, respectively. In addition, it demonstrates out-of-band IIP3s of 21.97/16.87 dBm for 0.8/2.4 GHz bands at the high gain mode, which suggests the BPF core delivers 37.97/32.87 dBm out-of-band IIP3s.
Data consistency condition for truncated projections in fan-beam geometry (2015)

It is well known that CT projections are redundant. Over the past decades, significant efforts have been devoted to characterize the data redundancy in different aspects. Very recently, Clackdoyle and Desbat reported a new integral-type data consistency condition (DCC) for truncated 2D parallel-beam projections, which can be applied to a region inside a field of view (FOV) but outside of the convex hull of the compact support of an object. Inspired by their work, here we derive a more general condition for 2D fan-beam geometry with a general scanning trajectory. This extended DCC is verified with simulated projections of the Shepp-Logan phantom and a clinically collected sinogram. Then, we demonstrate an application of the proposed DCC.
EFFECT OF TWO SULPHONYLUREAS ON THE DOSE KINETICS OF GLUCOSE – INDUCED INSULIN RELEASE IN NORMAL AND DIABETIC SUBJECTS (1979)

The effect of two second generation sulphonylureas, gliquidone and glibenclamide, on insulin secretion has been studied in the basal state and in combination with glucose infusions in normal controls, patients with mild maturity-onset diabetes, and subjects with normal glucose tolerance but low insulin response. When injected intravenously, gliquidone caused rapid elevation of plasma insulin, peaking at 5 min in all groups, while glibenclamide induced a slow rise in insulin. Insulin response was somewhat smaller than normal in diabetics and low insulin responders. In all groups, 25 micrograms/kg glibenclamide and 200 micrograms/kg gliquidone were equipotent in generating an insulin response at the basal state. Equipotent amounts of sulphonylureas were combined with glucose in fusions at three different dose levels. The glucose-insulin dose relationships, established by giving glucose alone, demonstrated curves that were flatter, and shifted to the right of the control in diabetics and low insulin responders, the changes being more marked in the former group. Addition of sulphonylurea induced a left shift in the dose-response relationships in controls and low insulin responders; under these conditions the effect of glibenclamide was more pronounced than that of gliquidone. The dose-response relation for glucose-induced insulin release was completely normalized in low responders when sulphonylureas were added. In the group of mild diabetics, insulin response to glucose was enhanced by sulphonylureas only to a modest extent, the dose-response curves remaining grossly abnormal.

Continuous Renal Replacement Technology: From Adaptive Devices to Flexible Multipurpose Machines (2004)

Technical advances in renal replacement therapies have increased their functionality (i.e. used in hepatic failure, sepsis, cardiac failure and immuno-mediated syndromes), are easier to operate and have less side-effects compared with their standard extracorporeal counterparts. Further improvements may see them become a routine part in the management of the critically ill patient.
Cryptococcus neoformans Capsular Glucuronoxylomannan Induces Expression of Fas Ligand in Macrophages (2005)

The major component of capsular material of Cryptococcus neoformans is glucuronoxylomannnan (GXM), a polysaccharide that exhibits potent immunosuppressive properties in vitro and in vivo. The results reported here show that 1) soluble purified GXM induces a prompt, long-lasting, and potent up-regulation of Fas ligand (FasL) on macrophages, 2) the up-regulation of FasL is related to induced synthesis and increased mobilization to the cellular surface, 3) this effect is largely mediated by interaction between GXM and TLR4, 4) FasL up-regulation occurs exclusively in GXM-loaded macrophages, 5) macrophages that show up-regulation of FasL induce apoptosis of activated T cells expressing Fas and Jurkat cells that constitutively express Fas, and 6) anti-Fas Abs rescue T cells from apoptosis induced by GXM. Collectively our results reveal novel aspects of the immunoregulatory properties of GXM and suggest that this nontoxic soluble compound could be used to dampen the immune response, to promote or accelerate the death receptor, and to fix FasL expression in a TLR/ligand-dependent manner. In the present study, we delineate potential new therapeutic applications for GXM that exploit death receptors as key molecular targets in regulating cell-mediated cytotoxicity, immune homeostasis, and the immunopathology of diseases.
A Regime Recognition Algorithm for Helicopter Usage Monitoring (2010)

In this paper, a data mining approach is adopted for regime recognition. In particular, a regime recognition algorithm developed based on HMM was presented. The HMM based regime recognition involves two major stages: model learning process and model testing process. The learning process could be implemented off-board. In this process, Gaussian mixture model (GMM) was used instead of unimodal density of Gaussian distribution in HMM. Once the learning process is completed, new incoming unknown signal could be tested and recognized on-board. The developed algorithm was validated using the flight card data of an Army UH-60L helicopter. The performance of this regime recognition algorithm was also compared with other data mining approaches using the same dataset. Using the flight card information and regime definitions, a dataset of about 56,000 data points labeled with 50 regimes recorded in the flight card were mapped to the health and usage monitoring parameters. The validation and performance comparison results have showed that the hidden Markov model based regime recognition algorithm was able to accurately recognize the regimes recorded in the flight card data and outperformed other data mining methods.
A 2.48Gb/s FPGA-based QC-LDPC decoder: An algorithmic compiler implementation (2015)

The increasing data rates expected to be of the order of Gb/s for future wireless systems directly impact the throughput requirements of the modulation and coding systems of the physical layer. In an effort to design a suitable channel coding solution for 5G wireless systems, in this brief we present two approaches to improve the throughput of a Quasi-Cyclic Low-Density Parity-Check (QC-LDPC) decoder architecture. While providing an algorithmic method to enhance parallel processing within the decoder in the first approach, in the second approach we apply the decoder architecture to achieve another highly-parallel architecture. We have successfully validated the second approach to get a 2.48Gb/s QC-LDPC decoder implementation operating at 200MHz on the Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA in the NI USRP-2953R. For rapid-prototyping our research findings, the high-level description of the entire decoder was translated to a Hardware Description Language (HDL), namely VHDL, using the algorithmic compiler in the National Instruments LabVIEW™ Communication System Design Suite (CSDS™). As per our knowledge, at the time of writing this paper, this is the fastest FPGA-based implementation of a standard compliant QC-LDPC decoder on a USRP using an algorithmic compiler.
Optimal task assignment in homogeneous networks (1997)

This paper considers the problem of assigning the tasks of a distributed application to the processors of a distributed system such that the sum of execution and communication costs is minimized. Previous work has shown this problem to be tractable for a system of two processors or a linear array of N processors, and for distributed programs of serial parallel structures. Here we focus on the assignment problem on a homogeneous network, which is composed of N functionally-identical processors, each with its own memory. Some processors in the network may have unique resources, such as data files or certain peripheral devices. Certain tasks may have to use these unique resources; they are called attached tasks. The tasks of a distributed program should therefore be assigned so as to make use of specific resources located at certain processors in the network while minimizing the amount of interprocessor communication. The assignment problem in such a homogeneous network is known to be NP-hard even for N=3, thus making it intractable for a network with a medium to large number of processors. We therefore focus on task assignment in general array networks, such as linear arrays, meshes, hypercubes, and trees. We first develop a modeling technique that transforms the assignment problem in an array or tree into a minimum-cut maximum-flow problem. The assignment problem is then solved for a general array or tree network in polynomial time.
Neurological Soft Signs in Schizophrenia Patients With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (2007)

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a prevalent and clinically significant phenomenon in schizophrenia patients. Both schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are considered to be neurodevelopmental disorders sharing dysfunctional frontal-subcortical circuitry. Using the Neurological Evaluation Scale (NES), the authors assessed neurological soft signs in 59 patients who met DSM-IV criteria for both schizophrenia and OCD. The two schizophrenia groups (with and without OCD) scored higher than the comparison group but did not significantly differ from one another on any of the NES subscales. The first-episode patients in both groups scored similarly to patients with repeated hospitalizations on all NES subscales. Notably, the OCD patients scored similarly to the two schizophrenia groups on the NES motor sequencing subscale. The author's findings support the notion that neurological soft signs are independent markers of brain dysfunction detectable early in the course of schizophrenia. However, they are of limited value as a putative endophenotype in a search for specific etiological mechanisms underlying a schizo-obsessive subgroup of schizophrenia.
Experimental investigation of shock oscillations on V-shaped blunt leading edges (2019)

Shock oscillations on a series of V-shaped blunt leading edges with R/r (i.e., the crotch rounding radius R to the leading edge radius r) ranging from 0 to 9 are experimentally investigated at Mach 6. A combination of high-speed schlieren and image processing technologies is used to capture the flow features during the shock oscillations. The observed primary shock structures are categorized as regular reflection (type A), Mach reflection (type B), and regular reflection from the same family (type C). It is revealed that the competition of the two opposite jets near the stagnation point and the breathing-like motion of the flow at the crotch region cause severe oscillations for types B and C. These oscillations are classified into four patterns with the increase of R/r: global swing, mixing of swing and arch-recover, global arch-recover, and local arch-recover. Correspondingly, the coherent structure of the oscillations gradually changes from an antisymmetric one to a symmetrical one. The transitions of the four patterns are quantitatively identified by the analyses of the root mean square of the fluctuations of the triple point TP and the shock point SP on the symmetrical line, which almost linearly decrease with the increase of R/r. Moreover, both TP and SP in the shock oscillations present energetic dominant frequencies that vary significantly with R/r. However, a nearly universal Strouhal number is obtained when the distances from TP (for type B) and the self-induced kink (for type C) to the stagnation point are employed as the relevant lengths, which suggests a possible physical mechanism for the oscillations. This study indicates that the shock oscillations can be suppressed by a properly large R/r, which is recommended for the design of V-shaped cowl lips.
Data Formats for In-situ OAM (2016)

In-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) records
operational and telemetry information in the packet while the packet
traverses a path between two points in the network. This document
discusses the data types and data formats for in-situ OAM data
records. In-situ OAM data records can be embedded into a variety of
transports such as NSH, Segment Routing, VXLAN-GPE, native IPv6 (via
extension header), or IPv4. In-situ OAM is to complement current out-
of-band OAM mechanisms based on ICMP or other types of probe packets.
Reply to D.A. Hamstra et al and A.P. Sandhu (2010)

2 the data do suggest there may be a benefit to improved local control with RP combined with adjuvant or salvage RT. It would be a mistake to dismiss these data, accepting the null hypothesis of no effect, unless randomized trials contradict these findings. Before such randomized trials, we would in the meantime encourage other institutions to analyze their own clinical experiences to confirm or refute these findings.
Mouse embryonic stem cells can differentiate via multiple paths to the same state (2017)

In embryonic development, cells differentiate through stereotypical sequences of intermediate states to generate particular mature fates. By contrast, driving differentiation by ectopically expressing terminal transcription factors (direct programming) can generate similar fates by alternative routes. How differentiation in direct programming relates to embryonic differentiation is unclear. We applied single-cell RNA sequencing to compare two motor neuron differentiation protocols: a standard protocol approximating the embryonic lineage, and a direct programming method. Both initially undergo similar early neural commitment. Later, the direct programming path diverges into a novel transitional state rather than following the expected embryonic spinal intermediates. The novel state in direct programming has specific and uncharacteristic gene expression. It forms a loop in gene expression space that converges separately onto the same final motor neuron state as the standard path. Despite their different developmental histories, motor neurons from both protocols structurally, functionally, and transcriptionally resemble motor neurons isolated from embryos.
