Dynamic Simulation Modeling of an Inspection-Based Software Lifecycle Process (1997)

A dynamic simulation model of an inspection-based software lifecycle process has been developed to support quantitative process evaluation. It can be used in project planning and management, and aid in process improvement. The model serves to examine the effects of inspection practices on cost, schedule, and quality throughout the lifecycle. It uses system dynamics to model the interrelated flows of tasks, errors, and personnel throughout different development phases and is calibrated to industrial data. It demonstrates the effects of performing inspections and other managerial policies. The dynamic effects are tracked throughout the time history of a project to show resource usage, task completions and defect trends per phase. Cumulative metrics and development tradeoffs for decision making are also presented. Several types of validation tests are performed against industrial data, existing theory and other prediction models. The results indicate a valid model that can be used for process evaluation and project planning, and serve as a framework for incorporating other dynamic process factors.
In situ Sensing of Single Binding Events by Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (2008)

Single binding events of nanoparticle-labeled DNA strands were detected as stepwise peak shifts in localized surface plasmon resonance by single particle measurement. We confirmed the number of binding events by observing label particles by scanning electron microscopy. Our simulation based on a multiple multipole program showed that the peak shift is dependent on interparticle gap size and binding position. The experimental peak shift distribution was also reproduced by simulation.
A randomized, placebo-controlled phase I trial of DNA prime, recombinant fowlpox virus boost prophylactic vaccine for HIV-1 (2006)

An HIV-vaccine consisting of a DNA prime, recombinant fowlpox virus (rFPV) boost was evaluated in a double-blind placebo controlled trial. One milligram of pHIS-HIV-B expressing mutated gag, pol, env, vpu, tat and rev was administered at weeks 0 and 4 boosted by 5 x 10(7) pfu rFPV-HIV-B expressing gag/pol at week 8. The vaccine regimen was safe, but there was no difference between vaccine (n = 18) and placebo recipients (n = 6) for Gag or Pol-specific T-cell immune responses at week 9.
Hardness of Oxide Scales on Fe-Si Alloys at Room- and High-Temperatures (2006)

Hardness of oxide scales on Fe-(0, 0.5, 1.5, 3.0)Si alloys was studied at room temperature after oxidation at 1273 K for 18 ks in oxygen, and at 1073 and 1273 K for 180 and 1080 ks in dry air, by micro-Vickers hardness measurements. After oxidation at 1273 K for 18 ks, high-temperature hardness of oxide scales on Fe-(0, 1.5, 3.0)Si alloys was also measured at 1273 K. Oxide scales on Fe-Si alloys were mainly Fe2O3, Fe3O4, FeO and Fe2SiO4. Hardness of Fe2O3, Fe3O4 and FeO on Fe was 6.7, 4.0 and 3.5 (GPa), respectively, and hardness of Fe2O3 on Fe-Si alloys slightly increased with increasing silicon content at room temperature. At 1273 K, hardness of Fe3O4 and FeO on Fe was 0.08 and 0.05 (GPa), respectively, and hardness of Fe2O3 on Fe-1.5Si alloy was 0.32 (GPa), and that of Fe2O3 and Fe2SiO4 on Fe-3.0Si alloy was 0.53 and 0.63 (GPa), respectively.
Visualization of Environmental Information by Haptograph Based on Wideband Force Control (2007)

Artificial acquisition and reproduction of human sensations are basic technologies of communication engineering. For example, auditory information is obtained by a microphone, and a speaker reproduces it by artificial means. Furthermore, a video camera and a television make it possible to transmit visual sensation by broadcasting. On the contrary, since tactile or haptic information is subject to the Newton's "law of action and reaction" in the real world, a device which acquire, transmit, and reproduce the information has not been established. Real-world haptics is the key technology for future haptic communication engineering. This paper proposes a novel acquisition method of haptic information named "haptograph". The haptograph visualizes the haptic information like photograph. Since temporal and spatial analyses are conducted to represent haptic information as the haptograph, it is possible to be recognized and to be evaluated intuitively. In this paper, the proposed haptograph is applied to haptic recognition of the contact environment. A linear motor contacts to the surface of the environment and its reaction force is used to make a haptograph. A robust contact motion and sensor-less sensing of the reaction force are attained by using a disturbance observer. As a result, an encyclopedia of contact environment is attained.
Gene selection for enhanced classification on microarray data using a weighted k-NN based algorithm (2019)

Feature selection is a common solution to microarray analysis. Previous approaches either select features based on classical statistical tests that can be tuned up with a classifier, or using regularization penalties incorporated in the cost function. Here we propose to use a feature ranking and we ighting scheme instead, which combines statistical techniques with a weighted k-NN classifier using a modified forward selection procedure. We demonstrate that classification accuracy of our proposal outperforms existing methods on a range of public microarray gene expression datasets. The proposed method is also compared to state-of-the-art feature selection algorithms by means of the Friedman test. Although a bunch of feature selection techniques has been used for genomic data, the experimental results show the classification superiority of our method on most of the present gene expression datasets.
Monitoring of radiation therapy response of head and neck tumors by non-invasive optical blood flow measurements (2005)

The aim is to evaluate the usefulness of optical blood flow measurements for predicting early tumor response to radiation therapy in patients with head and neck tumors. The results suggest a correlation between tumor blood flow changes with clinical outcome.
Spatiotemporal Scene-Graph Embedding for Autonomous Vehicle Collision Prediction (2022)

In autonomous vehicles (AVs), early warning systems rely on collision prediction to ensure occupant safety. However, state-of-the-art methods using deep convolutional networks either fail at modeling collisions or are too expensive/slow, making them less suitable for deployment on AV edge hardware. To address these limitations, we propose SG2VEC, a spatiotemporal <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">scene-graph</i> embedding methodology that uses the graph neural network (GNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) layers to predict future collisions via visual scene perception. We demonstrate that SG2VEC predicts collisions 8.11% more accurately and 39.07% earlier than the state-of-the-art method on synthesized data sets, and 29.47% more accurately on a challenging real-world collision data set. We also show that SG2VEC is better than the state of the art at transferring knowledge from synthetic data sets to real-world driving data sets. Finally, we demonstrate that SG2VEC performs inference <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$9.3\times $ </tex-math></inline-formula> faster with an 88.0% smaller model, 32.4% less power, and 92.8% less energy than the state-of-the-art method on the industry-standard Nvidia DRIVE PX 2 platform, making it more suitable for implementation on the edge.

Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It? (Second Edition) (2017)

The purpose of this book is to help you program shared-memory parallel systems without risking your sanity. Nevertheless, you should think of the information in this book as a foundation on which to build, rather than as a completed cathedral. Your mission, if you choose to accept, is to help make further progress in the exciting field of parallel programming-progress that will in time render this book obsolete. 
Parallel programming in the 21st century is no longer focused solely on science, research, and grand-challenge projects. And this is all to the good, because it means that parallel programming is becoming an engineering discipline. Therefore, as befits an engineering discipline, this book examines specific parallel-programming tasks and describes how to approach them. In some surprisingly common cases, these tasks can be automated. 
This book is written in the hope that presenting the engineering discipline underlying successful parallel-programming projects will free a new generation of parallel hackers from the need to slowly and painstakingly reinvent old wheels, enabling them to instead focus their energy and creativity on new frontiers. However, what you get from this book will be determined by what you put into it. It is hoped that simply reading this book will be helpful, and that working the Quick Quizzes will be even more helpful. However, the best results come from applying the techniques taught in this book to real-life problems. As always, practice makes perfect. 
But no matter how you approach it, we sincerely hope that parallel programming brings you at least as much fun, excitement, and challenge that it has brought to us!
RNA Binding Protein CUGBP2/CELF2 Mediates Curcumin-Induced Mitotic Catastrophe of Pancreatic Cancer Cells (2011)

Curcumin inhibits pancreatic tumor growth through mitotic catastrophe by increasing the expression of RNA binding protein CUGBP2, thereby inhibiting the translation of COX-2 and VEGF mRNA. These data suggest that translation inhibition is a novel mechanism of action for curcumin during the therapeutic intervention of pancreatic cancers.
Description of morphological evolution of lung tumors treated by percutaneous radiofrequency ablation: long term follow-up of 100 lesions with chest CT (2021)

Follow-up after RFA showed that fibrosis, disappearance, and atelectasis remained stable over time. Nodular scars could evolve into fibrotic scars, and cavitary scars could evolve into nodular scars.
Monolithically Integrated CMOS-SMR Oscillator in 65 nm CMOS Using Custom MPW Die-Level Fabrication Process (2017)

Acoustic resonators, such as thin-film solidly mounted resonators (SMRs) and silicon microelectromechanical systems have been used widely in commercial and research RF communication circuits to implement high-Q oscillators and highly selective filters. Monolithic integration is a promising solution to address the growing demand for such components while continuing the aggressive miniaturization of radios. In this paper, we demonstrate successful monolithic SMR-CMOS co-integration by building a high-Q SMR atop a standard 65-nm CMOS substrate using a custom die-level fabrication process. The approach takes advantage of features in the back-end-of-line to deliver the surface smoothness required for fully supported mechanical resonators, which was not possible using traditional process approaches. This paper marks the first demonstration of SMR integration on 65-nm CMOS. The CMOS die used is more than 400% smaller in area than those in the previous die-level demonstrations of monolithically integrated piezoelectric resonators on CMOS.
A historical perspective and recent advances in prostamide research and therapeutics. (2007)

In recent years antiglaucoma drugs have been brought to market that were discovered as a result of structure-activity relationship studies of the known ocular hypotensive prostaglandin F2alpha. One such ocular hypotensive agent is bimatoprost, the C1-ethylamide analog of 17-phenyl prostaglandin F2alpha. The in vitro pharmacology of bimatoprost, however, is strikingly different from prostanoid FP-receptor agonists. Another agent, the endocannabinoid anandamide has been demonstrated to be effectively converted by cyclooxygenase COX-2 into prostamide, a new class of fatty acid amide, in which the C1-terminus is an ethanolamide. Prostamides possess their own unique biological activity and have longer half-lives in plasma than prostaglandins, indicating that they may exert actions systemically either as prostaglandin precursors or as unique signal mediators. The independent discoveries of bimatoprost and prostamides from anandamide have potentially opened up a new and intriguing area of research. The purposes of this article are to review the biosynthetic evolution of prostamides, the discovery of bimatoprost and its unique pharmacology along with that of prostamide F2alpha and, finally, data on recently discovered agonists and antagonists.
Proteomic analysis of mammalian gametes and sperm-oocyte interactions. (2009)

Proteomic analysis occupies an increasingly important place in gamete and embryo biology as an independent tool of discovery and as a means of follow-up to transcriptional profiling. Proteomics have been and will be increasingly helpful in many areas of reproductive biology, including applied science and technology development. Areas likely to be impacted most rapidly by proteomic knowledge include fertility evaluation in male farm animals, male infertility diagnostics in humans, assessment and optimization of oocyte and embryo culture protocols, selection of fittest oocytes for assisted fertilization and selection of most competent embryos for embryo transfer. Oocyte proteomics will help us understand the process of oogenesis and oocyte maturation, and to discover non-invasive markers of oocyte quality. Sperm proteomics correlate with normal sperm structure and function and can be applied to discover novel biomarkers of farm animal fertility and diagnostic markers of human male infertility. Putative receptors participating in fertilization, as well as proteins acquired onto sperm surface from epididymal fluid and seminal plasma, have been discovered by proteomic analysis. An added level of information is provided by advanced proteomic approaches, capable of identifying posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation, glycosylation and ubiquitination which play important functions in gametogenesis, fertilization and embryo development. By no means exhaustive, the present paper reviews some of the most interesting proteomic studies of mammalian gametes and embryos published in the last decade.

FTIR Measurement of the Hydrogenated Si(100) Surface: The Structure-Vibrational Interpretation by Means of Periodic DFT Calculation (2021)

The periodic density functional theory (periodic DFT) method was employed for the interpretation of infrared radiation spectra (IR spectra) measured for the hydrogen-covered H/Si(100) surface after the standard step of native oxide removal by brief etching in 40% NH4F. The IR employed the attenuated total reflectance (ATR) method. The periodic DFT calculations of IR spectra focused on reconstructions of H/Si(100) that involved combinations of surface-terminating Si–H groups including the double-occupied dimer (DOD), dihydride (DH), and trihydride (TH). The IR spectra calculated with periodic DFT for H/Si(100) surfaces were compared with the IR spectra calculated by means of DFT in Si–H clusters. The periodic DFT provided considerably better and more reliable theoretical description of the IR spectra by keeping the periodicity of the silicon material that guaranteed proper spatial distribution of the Si–H species within H/Si(100). The calculated IR spectrum for H/Si(100) that involved a combination of two DOD and three DH groups (7 × 1 reconstruction) was in good agreement with the measured IR spectrum. Moreover, a combination of the calculated IR spectra for DH in 1 × 1 reconstruction and the spectra for adjacent DH and DOD in 3 × 1 reconstruction (no long-range ordering) also agreed with the experiment. The periodic DFT further indicated that the IR peaks measured above 2120 cm–1 can originate in mutual steric interactions of adjacent DH species within H/Si(100). Accordingly, we hypothesize that the H/Si(100) surface prepared by the standard treatment likely involves combinations of DOD and DH but not TH.
Identification of four compounds from the Pharmakon library with antifungal activity against Candida auris and species of Cryptococcus (2022)

Fungal infections can be lethal and the options to fight them are scarce. We tested 1600 molecules for their ability to control the growth of two important fungal pathogens, namely Candida auris and species of Cryptococcus. Four of these compounds showed promising antifungal activities.
Towards Predicting the Onset of Elastic Turbulence in Complex Geometries (2022)

Abstract Flow of complex fluids in porous structures is pertinent in many biological and industrial processes. For these applications, elastic turbulence, a viscoelastic instability occurring at low Re—arising from a non-trivial coupling of fluid rheology and flow geometry—is a common and relevant effect because of significant over-proportional increase in pressure drop and spatio-temporal distortion of the flow field. Therefore, significant efforts have been made to predict the onset of elastic turbulence in flow geometries with constrictions. The onset of flow perturbations to fluid streamlines is not adequately captured by Deborah and Weissenberg numbers. The introduction of more complex dimensionless numbers such as the M-criterion, which was meant as a simple and pragmatic method to predict the onset of elastic instabilities as an order-of-magnitude estimate, has been successful for simpler geometries. However, for more complex geometries which are encountered in many relevant applications, sometimes discrepancies between experimental observation and M-criteria prediction have been encountered. So far these discrepancies have been mainly attributed to the emergence from disorder. In this experimental study, we employ a single channel with multiple constrictions at varying distance and aspect ratios. We show that adjacent constrictions can interact via non-laminar flow field instabilities caused by a combination of individual geometry and viscoelastic rheology depending (besides other factors) explicitly on the distance between adjacent constrictions. This provides intuitive insight on a more conceptual level why the M-criteria predictions are not more precise. Our findings suggest that coupling of rheological effects and fluid geometry is more complex and implicit and controlled by more length scales than are currently employed. For translating bulk fluid, rheology determined by classical rheometry into the effective behaviour in complex porous geometries requires consideration of more than only one repeat element. Our findings open the path towards more accurate prediction of the onset of elastic turbulence, which many applications will benefit. Article Highlights We demonstrate that adjacent constrictions “interact” via the non-laminar flow fields caused by individual constrictions, implying that the coupling of rheological effects and fluid geometry is more complex and implicit. The concept of characterizing fluid rheology independent of flow geometry and later coupling back to the geometry of interest via dimensionless numbers may fall short of relevant length scales, such as the separation of constrictions which control the overlap of flow fields. By providing direct experimental evidence illustrating the cause of the shortcoming of the status-quo, the expected impact of this work is to challenge and augment existing concepts that will ultimately lead to the correct prediction of the onset of elastic turbulence.
Wireless Metal Detection and Surface Coverage Sensing for All-Surface Induction Heating (2016)

All-surface induction heating systems, typically comprising small-area coils, face a major challenge in detecting the presence of a metallic vessel and identifying its partial surface coverage over the coils to determine which of the coils to power up. The difficulty arises due to the fact that the user can heat vessels made of a wide variety of metals (and their alloys). To address this problem, we propose and demonstrate a new wireless detection methodology that allows for detecting the presence of metallic vessels together with uniquely sensing their surface coverages while also identifying their effective material type in all-surface induction heating systems. The proposed method is based on telemetrically measuring simultaneously inductance and resistance of the induction coil coupled with the vessel in the heating system. Here, variations in the inductance and resistance values for an all-surface heating coil loaded by vessels (made of stainless steel and aluminum) at different positions were systematically investigated at different frequencies. Results show that, independent of the metal material type, unique identification of the surface coverage is possible at all freqeuncies. Additionally, using the magnitude and phase information extracted from the coupled coil impedance, unique identification of the vessel effective material is also achievable, this time independent of its surface coverage.
