Differentiable Grammars for Videos (2020)

This paper proposes a novel algorithm which learns a formal regular grammar from real-world continuous data, such as videos. Learning latent terminals, non-terminals, and production rules directly from continuous data allows the construction of a generative model capturing sequential structures with multiple possibilities. Our model is fully differentiable, and provides easily interpretable results which are important in order to understand the learned structures. It outperforms the state-of-the-art on several challenging datasets and is more accurate for forecasting future activities in videos. We plan to open-source the code.1
Optical multicast tree construction algorithm considering SNR constraint and 3R regeneration (2008)

We propose a novel multicast tree construction algorithm for video distribution/multicasting. The algorithm successfully handles the optical signal impairments caused by transmission and branching, and optimizes 3R regenerator placement simultaneously.
Functional Pyrene–Pyridine-Integrated Hole-Transporting Materials for Solution-Processed OLEDs with Reduced Efficiency Roll-Off (2021)

A series of new functional pyridine-appended pyrene derivatives, viz., 2,6-diphenyl-4-(pyren-1-yl)pyridine (<b>Py-03</b>), 2,6-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-(pyren-1-yl)pyridine (<b>Py-MeO</b>), 4-(pyren-1-yl)-2,6-di-<i>p</i>-tolylpyridine (<b>Py-Me</b>), and 2,6-bis(4-bromophenyl)-4-(pyren-1-yl)pyridine (<b>Py-Br</b>) were designed, developed, and studied as the hole-transporting materials (HTMs) for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) application. The crystal structures of two molecules revealed to have a large dihedral angle between the pyrene and pyridine units, indicating poor π-electronic communication between them due to ineffective orbital overlap across the pyrene-pyridine systems as the two p-orbitals of pivotal atoms are twisted at 66.80° and 68.75° angles to each other in <b>Py-03</b> and <b>Py-Me</b>, respectively. The influence of variedly functionalized pyridine units on the electro-optical properties and device performance of the present integrated system for OLED application was investigated. All of the materials have suitable HOMO values (5.6 eV) for hole injection by closely matching the HOMOs of indium tin oxide (ITO) and the light-emitting layer. All of the synthesized molecules have suitable triplet energies, glass transition temperatures, and melting temperatures, which are highly desirable for good HTMs. The pyrene-pyridine-based devices demonstrated stable performance with low-efficiency roll-off. The device with <b>Py-Br</b> as HTM showed a maximum luminance of 17300 cd/m<sup>2</sup> with a maximum current efficiency of 22.4 cd/A and an EQE of 9% at 3500 cd/m<sup>2</sup> with 7% roll-off from 1000 to 10 000 cd/m<sup>2</sup>. Also, the devices with <b>Py-Me</b> and <b>Py-03</b> showed performance roll-up while moving from 1000 to 10 000 cd/m<sup>2</sup>.
Renal Function, Body Fluid Volumes, Renin, Aldosterone, and Noradrenaline During Treatment of Hypertension with Pindolol (1981)

Sixteen hypertensive patients received pindolol (10-45 mg/day); mean +/- SD, 28.75 +/- 15.22) for 3-8 weeks in a placebo-controlled, single-blind, crossover study. Supine and standing blood pressures (BP) were lowered, whereas effective renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rates (estimated from the clearances of Hippuran and EDTA during oral water loading) did not change consistently. "Blood volume" (calculated from 125I-human serum albumin space and microhaematocrit) increased, with a corresponding reduction in serum albumin but without a change in body weight or "total body water" (T2O space). The results suggest a transfer of water from the interstitial to the intravascular compartment. This was supported by estimates of "extracellular fluid volume" (EDTA space) and "interstitial volume" (EDTA) minus human serum albumin spaces) in 3 subjects. The changes produced in "blood volume" correlated with those in BP. Plasma levels of noradrenaline, renin activity, and aldosterone were reduced, as was renal aldosterone excretion. There was no correlation between the changes produced by pindolol in BP and these hormone levels. Pindolol treatment reduced serum calcium concentration. There was a strong positive correlation between changes in BP and serum calcium and renal calcium excretion.
Energy Gain Efficiency in Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) (2010)

Abstract Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is a highly popular method for extracting bitumen in situ, and has gained wide acceptance for unlocking Canada's bitumen reserves. Although SAGD is very attractive, it is energy and labor intensive, produces significant quantity of emissions, and requires large water resource and treatment facility. This study addresses these issues by proposing a method to sequester steam boiler exhaust CO2, but focuses specifically on improving the energy gain ratio by reducing the energy input. The proposed method is to augment steam injection with less energy intensive, less expensive, non-condensable gases (CO2 and flue). To quantify the benefits of the method and assess the effectiveness of the process we use energy gain ratio as the main yardstick of the assessment. Five cases of SAGD were simulated with a thermal simulator using a bitumen field data. The study conclusively shows that the process is viable. Specifically the study results in four main conclusions: First, energy gain ratio can be improved by augmenting steam injection with non-condensable gases, for example, if we augment CO2 with steam in a cyclic fashion, energy gain increases by a factor of 1.5 to almost 2. Second, CO2 and flue gas produce the same energy gain ratios and the same recovery factors. Third, intermittent cyclic steam injection performs better than the continuous steam injection in terms of energy gain ratio and recovery factor. Fourth, the injection sequence and the length of the steam and non-condensable gas cycles are important to optimize water and gas breakthrough times. It can also be inferred that reducing steam injection produces economic gains by reducing water usage, fuel requirements for steam generation, and water softening volumes. Also augmenting steam with non-condensable gases reduces green house gas emissions.
Light‐emitting diodes based on poly(2,3-diphenyl-1,4-phenylene vinylene) (1997)

In this paper we report polymer light-emitting diodes based on (2,3-diphenyl-1,4-phenylene vinylene) (DP-PPV), a novel π-conjugated polymer made by using the chlorine precursor route (CPR). Thin films of the precursor polymer were formed by spin-casting on indium-tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates, followed by thermal conversion to give DP-PPV thin films. Single layer DP-PPV LEDs were completed by thermally evaporating magnesium (Mg) electrodes. The electroluminescent characteristics of ITO/DP-PPV/Mg devices as well as variations between precursor polymer batches are presented. Bilayer LEDs were also made, for which tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3) was thermally sublimed on the fully converted DP-PPV films in vacuum, followed by Mg deposition. Both significant improvement in the quantum efficiency (up to 0.7% ph/el) and a reduction in the turn-on voltage of the device were found upon incorporation of the Alq3 layer. These observations suggest that Alq3 enhances the injection of electrons and also participates in the recombination process. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Disk-Based Management of Interaction Graphs (2014)

In our increasingly connected and instrumented world, live data recording the interactions between people, systems, and the environment is available in various domains, such as telecommunications and social media. This data often takes the form of a temporally evolving graph, where entities are the vertices and the interactions between them are the edges. An important feature of this graph is that the number of edges it has grows continuously, as new interactions take place. We call such graphs interaction graphs. In this paper we study the problem of storing interaction graphs such that temporal queries on them can be answered efficiently. Since interaction graphs are append-only and edges are added continuously, traditional graph layout and storage algorithms that are batch based cannot be applied directly. We present the design and implementation of a system that caches recent interactions in memory, while quickly placing the expired interactions to disk blocks such that those edges that are likely to be accessed together are placed together. We develop live block formation algorithms that are fast, yet can take advantage of temporal and spatial locality among the edges to optimize the storage layout with the goal of improving query performance. We evaluate the system on synthetic as well as real-world interaction graphs, and show that our block formation algorithms are effective for answering temporal neighborhood queries on the graph. Such queries form a foundation for building more complex online and offline temporal analytics on interaction graphs.
Graphene‐sealed Si/SiN cavities for high‐resolution in situ electron microscopy of nano‐confined solutions (2016)

We demonstrate new liquid cell architectures utilizing graphene‐sealed Si or SiN cavities for in situ electron microscopy. While previous graphene liquid cell techniques have shown graphene to be an ideal sealing layer and electron‐transparent viewing window, they trap irregular geometries of liquid with unknown sample volumes. Our new technique allows for a leak‐proof confinement of liquids of precise volume in the tens of attoliter range while maintaining the benefits of graphene as a viewing window. The utility of this new cell architecture is demonstrated by imaging the dynamics of gold nanoparticles in three dimensions with atomic resolution under a transmission electron microscope.

Study on detection of the early signs of derailment for railway vehicles (2010)

This paper proposes a technique for detecting the early signs of derailment of a railway vehicle. The proposed system detects abnormal vehicle signs before derailment using micro-electromechanical system acceleration sensors for automobiles. A derailment detection algorithm has been investigated using derailment simulations and experiments. A numerical analysis with a scaled vehicle model simulating wheelclimb derailment at low speeds has been examined. A scale model of a railway vehicle, including one carbody with two bogies, as well as an original device that can simulate various wheelclimb derailments for the selected wheel was designed and made. Based on a numerical analysis and scaled derailment experiments, an algorithm for detecting the signs of derailment beforehand has been proposed and verified. It is found that, using the peak threshold of the pitch angular rate and the integral threshold of the roll angular rate of the truck frame, it is possible to detect the signs of the derailment.
Numerical study on steady-state cracking of composites (2006)

This article presents a numerical study on the steady-state cracking in brittle matrix composites. While steady-state cracking underlies the phenomenon of multiple cracking, an important mechanism to achieve tensile ductility in such materials, it is difficult to capture experimentally. This paper provides a numerical approach to simulate steady-state cracking behavior in reinforced brittle matrix composites. From computational results, the previously derived analytic condition of steady-state cracking is confirmed and steady-state crack propagation can be digitally visualized.

Scene-Adaptive Frame-Layer Rate Control for Low Bit Rate Video (2003)

Rate control regulates the coded bit stream to satisfy certain given bit rate condition while maintaining the quality of coded video. However, most existing rate control algorithms for low bit rate video can not handle scene change properly, so visual quality is consequently worsened. The test model TMN8 of H.263+ can be forced to skip frames after an abrupt scene change. In this letter, we propose a new frame-layer rate control which allocates bits to frames and controls the frame skipping adaptively based on the pre-analysis of future frames. Experimental results show that the proposed control method provides an effective alternative to existing frame skipping methods causing the motion jerkiness and quality degradation.
A pack-to-cell-to-pack battery equalizer with soft-switching based on buck-boost and bidirectional LC resonant converters (2016)

A pack-to-cell-to-pack battery equalizer with soft-switching based on buck-boost converter and bidirectional LC resonant converter is proposed to achieve a fast and high-efficiency battery equalization. The buck-boost converter is employed to transmit energy from a high tension supply to a low one in the buck mode or from a low one to a high one in the boost mode with zero-voltage switching (ZVS). The bidirectional LC resonant converter is employed to automatically transfer energy with zero-current switching (ZCS) with electrical isolation. A prototype with four lithium-ion battery cells is implemented. Experimental results show the proposed scheme exhibits outstanding balancing performance, and the measured peak conversion efficiency is about 93% in the cell-to-pack mode and 72.5% in the pack-to-cell mode.

Rational Design of Highly Diastereoselective, Organic Base-Catalyzed, Room-Temperature Michael Addition Reactions1 (2000)

Via the rational design of a single-preferred transition state, stabilized by electron donor-acceptor-type attractive interactions, structural and geometric requirements for the corresponding starting compounds have been determined. The Ni(II) complex of the Schiff base of glycine with o-[N-alpha-picolylamino]acetophenone, as a nucleophilic glycine equivalent, and N-(trans-enoyl)oxazolidin-2-ones, as derivatives of an alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid, were found to be the substrates of choice featuring geometric/conformational homogeneity and high reactivity. The corresponding Michael addition reactions were found to proceed at room temperature in the presence of catalytic amounts of DBU to afford quantitatively the addition products with virtually complete diastereoselectivity. Acidic decomposition of the products followed by treatment of the reaction mixture with NH4OH gave rise to the diastereomerically pure 3-substituted pyroglutamic acids.
Transformation of BxCyNz nanotubes to pure BN nanotubes (2002)

We demonstrate that multiwalled BxCyNz nanotubes can be efficiently converted to BN multiwalled nanotubes via an oxidation treatment. The microstructure and composition of the precursors and final products have been characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, electron energy-loss spectroscopy, and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The conversion process is monitored by thermogravimetric analysis. Carbon layers of BxCyNz nanotubes start to oxidize at 550 °C, thereby transforming BxCyNz nanotubes into pure BN nanotubes. The remarkable thermal stability of pure BN nanotubes in an oxidizing environment is also established.
Iterative multiuser detection/decoding for turbo coded CDMA systems (2001)

We propose a novel scheme for iterative multiuser detection and turbo decoding. The multiuser detector and single-user turbo decoders are coupled such that after each turbo decoding iteration the extrinsic information of the interfering users is passed to the multiuser detector, and after each multiuser iteration, updated a posteriori probabilities are passed to the single-user turbo decoders as the soft input metrics. In synchronous systems, the proposed detector approaches the multiuser capacity limit within 1 dB in the low signal-to-noise ratio region.

Single cell RNAseq provides a molecular and cellular cartography of changes to the human endometrium through the menstrual cycle (2018)

Summary In a human menstrual cycle, the endometrium undergoes remodeling, shedding, and regeneration, all of which are driven by substantial gene expression changes in the underlying cellular hierarchy. Despite its importance in human fertility and regenerative biology, mechanistic understanding of this unique type of tissue homeostasis remains rudimentary. We characterized the transcriptomic transformation of human endometrium at single cell resolution, dissecting the multidimensional cellular heterogeneity of this tissue across the entire natural menstrual cycle. We profiled the behavior of 6 endometrial cell types, including a previously uncharacterized ciliated epithelial cell type, during four major phases of endometrial transformation, and found characteristic signatures for each cell type and phase. We discovered that human window of implantation opens with an abrupt and discontinuous transcriptomic activation in the epithelia, accompanied with widespread decidualized feature in the stromal fibroblasts. These data reveal signatures in the luminal and glandular epithelia during epithelial gland reconstruction, and suggest a mechanism for adult gland formation.
