Thermal Loss Becomes an Issue for Narrow-band Tunable Antennas in 4G Handsets (2014)

Antenna tuning is a very promising technique to cope with the expansion of the mobile communication frequency spectrum. Tunable antennas can address a wide range of operating frequencies, while being highly integrated. In particular, high-Q antennas (also named narrow-band antennas) are very compact, thus are good candidates to be embedded on 4G handsets. This paper focuses on high-Q tunable antennas and contributes with a characterization of their loss mechanism, which is a major parameter in link-budget calculations. The paper shows through an example, that the tuner loss is not sufficient to explain the total loss of tunable antennas. It is found that, thermal loss - due to the metal conductivity of the antenna itself - plays a major role in the loss mechanism of narrow-band tunable antennas. The investigated high-Q PIFA designs exhibit a significant thermal loss; at 1400 MHz nearly 2 dB are lost solely due to the copper conductivity. Thermal loss poses a limitation to achievable performance of tunable antennas and to antenna miniaturization.
Myeloid derived suppressor and dendritic cell subsets are related to clinical outcome in prostate cancer patients treated with prostate GVAX and ipilimumab (2014)

Our data demonstrate that DC and MDSC subsets are affected by prostate GVAX/ipilimumab therapy and that myeloid profiling may contribute to the identification of patients with possible clinical benefit of Prostate GVAX/ipilimumab treatment.
When viral oncoprotein meets tumor suppressor: a structural view (2006)

In 1898, Friedrich Loeffler and Paul Frosch reported on the identification of a filterable agent that was the cause of foot and mouth disease in livestock (Levine 2001). This was the first identification of a vertebrate virus, shortly after the isolation of the tobacco mosaic virus by Dimitrii Ivanovsky in 1892 Since these initial discoveries, we have come to appreciate how these genetic entities that lie somewhere between the living and nonliving state survive, propagate, infect, and mediate disease. We know that in the absence of a host cell, these obligate parasites exist in a latent form containing a protein or membrane coat surrounding genetic material that encodes protein products that are essential for host infection and propagation of the virus. Upon contact with its host cell, the virus injects its genetic material to exploit the host cellular machinery to assemble more virus particles that eventually go on to infect other host cells. We also know that many viruses are the causative agents for human diseases such as smallpox, influenza, the common cold, AIDS, and cervical cancer. We know considerably less about the molecular mechanisms for how viral proteins subvert the host machinery to establish the disease state. A study in this issue of Genes & Development by The study provides the first molecular insights into the mode of viral inactivation of this "guardian of the genome" and suggests avenues for the structure-based design of viral inhibitors (Weinberg 1997;
Oil mobilisation by subcritical water processing (2013)

As water approaches the critical point, the dielectric constant lowers enabling solution of heavy oil components. Simultaneously, enhanced water dissociation enhances cracking to lighter fractions. We evaluated this effect for three heavy oils concentrating on the effect of processing on feed viscosity. Reductions of up to 90 % were observed and these could be achieved in a few hours. Although more applicable to surface processing of oil sands in the short term, ultimately this technique could also be applied to immature oils for in situ processing and recovery. This may already be happening in some steam-assisted gravity drainage scenarios. In situ application would be limited to reservoirs where formation pressure is higher than the pressure required to generate these subcritical effects.
Perspectives on custom computing (2002)

Custom computing involves customising computations for one or more applications in a given implementation technology. We describe a framework for customising designs using appropriate libraries, compilers, validation facilities, application programming interfaces and front-end tools. The development of custom architectures, data formats and operations is presented. We show how circuits can be customised at run time to adapt to changes in the operating conditions. Graphics examples are used throughout the paper to illustrate our approach.
Comparison of traffic dependent wireless sensor network protocols (2010)

In this paper, we present research trends of communication protocols in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) focusing on application services' traffic condition features. We first outline the application services' traffic condition features and design challenges for communication protocols in WSNs. Focusing on these traffic condition features, synchronous and asynchronous MAC protocols, flat and hierarchical routing protocols, cross-layered protocols in WSNs are studied and their performances are evaluated. Finally, we highlight critical requirements for communication protocols design of WSNs considering these application services' traffic characteristics and discuss future research directions.

Fructan and fructan‐metabolizing enzymes in the growth zone of barley leaves (1997)

SUMMARY To study the role of fructan in leaf development of barley seedlings, fructan contents and the activities of enzymes involved in fructan metabolism were measured in segments of the third leaf at the stage of maximal growth. Fructans amounted to more than 10% of the d. wt in the growth zone at the base of the developing leaf and decreased sharply in the zone above. The specific activities of sucrose: sucrose 1‐fructosyltransferase (1‐SST) and sucrose: fructan 6‐fructosyltransferase (6‐SFT), two key enzymes in fructan synthesis, also peaked in the growth zone but decreased more slowly in the zone above. By contrast, the specific activities of invertase and fructan exohydrolase (FEH) were low in the growth zone at the leaf base and had their peak just above it. The specific activity of fructan: fructan 1‐fructosyltransferase (1‐FFT) was approx. constant over the whole leaf. These results indicate that transitory accumulation of fructans in the growth zone plays a key role in the development of barley leaves.
A risk model for privacy in trajectory data (2015)

Time sequence data relating to users, such as medical histories and mobility data, are good candidates for data mining, but often contain highly sensitive information. Different methods in privacy-preserving data publishing are utilised to release such private data so that individual records in the released data cannot be re-linked to specific users with a high degree of certainty. These methods provide theoretical worst-case privacy risks as measures of the privacy protection that they offer. However, often with many real-world data the worst-case scenario is too pessimistic and does not provide a realistic view of the privacy risks: the real probability of re-identification is often much lower than the theoretical worst-case risk. In this paper, we propose a novel empirical risk model for privacy which, in relation to the cost of privacy attacks, demonstrates better the practical risks associated with a privacy preserving data release. We show detailed evaluation of the proposed risk model by using k-anonymised real-world mobility data and then, we show how the empirical evaluation of the privacy risk has a different trend in synthetic data describing random movements.

Connection-level analysis and modeling of network traffic (2001)

Most network traffic analysis and modeling studies lump all connections together into a single flow. Such aggregate traffic typically exhibits long-range-dependent (LRD) correlations and non-Gaussian marginal distributions. Importantly, in a typical aggregate traffic model, traffic bursts arise from many connections being active simultaneously. In this paper, we develop a new framework for analyzing and modeling network traffic that moves beyond aggregation by incorporating connection-level information. A careful study of many traffic traces acquired in different networking situations reveals (in opposition to the aggregate modeling ideal) that traffic bursts typically arise from just a few high-volume connections that dominate all others. We term such dominating connections alpha traffic. Alpha traffic is caused by large file transmissions over high bandwidth links and is extremely bursty (non-Gaussian). Stripping the alpha traffic from an aggregate trace leaves a beta traffic residual that is Gaussian, LRD, and shares the same fractal scaling exponent as the aggregate traffic. Beta traffic is caused by both small and large file transmissions over low bandwidth links. In our alpha/beta traffic model, the heterogeneity of the network resources give rise to burstiness and heavy-tailed connection durations give rise to LRD. Queuing experiments suggest that the alpha component dictates the tail queue behavior for large queue sizes, whereas the beta component controls the tail queue behavior for small queue sizes.
Diurnal suppression of EGFR signalling by glucocorticoids and implications for tumour progression and treatment (2014)

Signal transduction by receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and nuclear receptors for steroid hormones is essential for body homeostasis, but the cross-talk between these receptor families is poorly understood. We observed that glucocorticoids inhibit signalling downstream of EGFR, an RTK. The underlying mechanism entails suppression of EGFR's positive feedback loops and simultaneous triggering of negative feedback loops that normally restrain EGFR. Our studies in mice reveal that the regulation of EGFR's feedback loops by glucocorticoids translates to circadian control of EGFR signalling: EGFR signals are suppressed by high glucocorticoids during the active phase (night-time in rodents), while EGFR signals are enhanced during the resting phase. Consistent with this pattern, treatment of animals bearing EGFR-driven tumours with a specific kinase inhibitor was more effective if administered during the resting phase of the day, when glucocorticoids are low. These findings support a circadian clock-based paradigm in cancer therapy.
Correction and calculation of T1 and T2 maps based on IR balanced SSFP using an analytical expression of the transient SSFP response (2003)

A correction method to calculate T1 and T2 relaxation times from inversion prepared (IR) balanced SSFP is proposed. The method is based on an analytical description of the initial or transient phase of IR-prepared balanced SSFP, which is a function of T1, T2, TR, and flip angle α.
Establishment of a Joint Governmental Differential GPS Service for Marine Use in the Baltic Sea (1991)

This paper attempts to establish that there is an operational requirement for a very accurate radio navigation system in Fimrish and Swedish waters. This is done by describing the specific climatic and geographical conditions in Scandinavia that mnkes Differential GPS the
only feasible choice for general marine radionavigation use. The idea about DGPS hadattracted the authors for quite some time but put 011 hold until a sufficient number of satellites was available. Only the specific requirement from a numberof majorshipowners. toget a more precise radionavigation system for their new ferries, initiated a more rapid development.
The authors from Sweden and Finland are also members of the IALA Radionavigation Committee ch‘arged with the task of producing a World Differential GPS standard. Hence it was decided to do the project as a
joint effort, ie. on one hand produce the level of radionavigation service the ferry companies desired and on the other hand perform real life testing to support the efforts of the IALA Radionavigation Committee. Parallel to this development also ship transponder (for ship-to-ship as well as ship-to-shore traffic) and integrated navigation systems developments are pursued, on the icebreaker fleets of respective
governments, both based upon the use of DGPS.
The task of producing a system with two DGPS-stations and monitoring stations was aw‘arded to Magnavox Ltd. Conventional marine radiobeacons are used as data links. The system design is presented in the
paper by Magnavox Ltd.
Section 7 predicts the annual availability of the DGPS/ radiobeacon broadcasts as a function of location. It also comments on some signal field and noise field measurements which have been taken during the sum-
mer of 1991. However, a full evaluation of DGPS/radiobeacon coverage requires data collected over all the seasons of the year, and will not be available for some time.
The system covers the ship routes between the Finnish and Swedish capitals, Helsinki and Stockholm. The calculations regarding anticipated coverage and network planning wnsdone by Prof. PerEnge. Analysis of the Radioheacon Broadcast is presented in the paper.
The DGPS-system in Finland became operative 3-16199 1 with onereferencestation,andan identical Swedish station shortly thereafter. Tests ‘are made with varying bit rates and so far without error detection and correction. Preliminary results are presented in the paper.
If the system works as anticipated and a worldwide standard is accepted a network a DGPS-station is going to be rapidly extended to cover all Finnish and Swedish ship routes, both at the coast and in the inland system.
A Prescriptive Stock Market Investment Strategy for the Restaurant Industry using an Artificial Neural Network Methodology (2016)

Stock price forecasting is a classic problem facing analysts. Forecasting models have been developed for predicting individual stocks and stock indices around the world and in numerous industries. According to a literature review, these models have yet to be applied to the restaurant industry. Strategies for forecasting typically include fundamental and technical variables. In this research, fundamental and technical inputs were combined into an artificial neural network (ANN) stock prediction model for the restaurant industry. Models were designed to forecast 1 week, 4 weeks, and 13 weeks into the future. The model performed better than the benchmark methods, which included, an analyst prediction, multiple linear regression, trading, and Buy and Hold trading strategies. The prediction accuracy of the ANN methodology presented reached accuracy performance measures as high as 60%. The model also shown resiliency over the housing crisis in 2008.
Advection of a Passive Scalar over a Finite-Amplitude Ridge in a Stratified Rotating Atmosphere (1987)

A basic uniform current flows over a two-dimensional finite-amplitude ridge of characteristic male L and amplitude ε. The disturbance field is constrained by the geostrophic momentum approximation, by uniform potential vorticity (uniform Brunt-Väisälä frequency N) and by the constant Coriolis parameter f. Solutions are represented as the sum of a steady disturbance, recently found by Blumen and Gross, and a relatively weak translating disturbance. The translating disturbance is a passive scalar that is advected by the steady mountain circulation. The propagation speed over a ridge in an unbounded atmosphere is shown to increase with the parameter ε/D, where D=fL/N is the deformation depth. The steady mountain circulation produces frontolysis in the disturbance field on the windward slope and frontogenesis on the leeward slope. These frontogenetical features are primarily controlled by the steady horizontal velocity, which is divergent on the windward side and convergent in the Ice. The steady mountain circulation also disrupts the initial state of thermal wind balance imposed on the disturbance potential temperature and cross-stream velocity fields. An approximate evaluation of the ageostrophic circulation required to restore thermal wind balance is provided. This circulation, which may be direct or indirect, is related to the spatial structure of the initial disturbance and to its relative position on the ridge. Comparison with a related study by Bannon, and an evaluation of the principal limitations of both models complete the study.
The Global Economic Cost of Osteoarthritis: How the UK Compares (2012)

Aims . To examine all relevant literature on the economic costs of osteoarthritis in the UK, and to compare such costs globally. Methods . A search of MEDLINE was performed. The search was expanded beyond peer-reviewed journals into publications by the department of health, national orthopaedic associations, national authorities and registries, and arthritis charities. Results . No UK studies were identified in the literature search. 3 European, 6 North American, and 2 Asian studies were reviewed. Significant variation in direct and indirect costs were seen in these studies. Costs for topical and oral NSAIDs were estimated to be £ 19.2 million and £ 25.65 million, respectively. Cost of hip and knee replacements was estimated to exceed £ 850 million, arthroscopic surgery for osteoarthritis was estimated to be £ 1.34 million. Indirect costs from OA caused a loss of economic production over £ 3.2 billion, £ 43 million was spent on community services and £ 215 million on social services for osteoarthritis. Conclusions . While estimates of economic costs can be made using information from non-published data, there remains a lack of original research looking at the direct or indirect costs of osteoarthritis in the UK. Differing methodology in calculating costs from overseas studies makes direct comparison with the UK difficult.
Radiation-induced Chromosome Aberrations Analysed by Fluorescencein SituHybridization with a Triple Combination of Composite Whole Chromosome-specific DNA Probes (1992)

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a combination of three composite whole chromosome-specific DNA probes for human chromosomes 1, 4 and 12 was used to analyse in vitro radiation-induced dicentrics and symmetrical translocations in peripheral lymphocytes. Translocations could be rapidly and efficiently detected by FISH. Their frequencies were 1.8-fold higher than the frequencies for dicentrics at a given dose. The dose-response curves for translocations and dicentrics were linear quadratic with a significant higher quadratic component for translocations. The application of FISH for scoring stable translocations for biological dosimetry of radiation exposures is discussed.
Point-to-Multipoint Delivery in 5G-Advanced Networks Using Dual-Mode Multicast (2022)

3GPP is currently working on finalizing Release-18 specifications to add new capabilities to 5G that will address new services and verticals, specifically in the context of support for multicast traffic. One of the key enhancements currently being done relates to the support for multicast transmissions, with a key focus on support for reception by UEs in inactive mode. In this work, we present a concept called dual-mode multicast, which enables possible improvements to physical layer procedures for multicast traffic delivery with near-unicast level of reliability for connected mode UEs, as well as support for inactive UEs. We also present some performance results which evaluate the impact on spectral efficiency and packet loss rate with the use of dual mode multicast, in comparison to the currently defined multicast for connected mode UEs.
Strengthening cooperation on vectorborne diseases in Europe (2010)

In 2007 a new European network was established to improve the coordination of research on three midgeborne viral diseases that are expanding their range in Europe. Writing on behalf of the members of Med_Reo_Net, Catherine Cêtre‐Sossah, the coordinator of this project, explains the aims of the initiative.
A polymer microdevice for tensiometry of insoluble components (2014)

A semi-flexible SU-8 polymer microdevice was designed to deflect in response to a change in surface tension at an air-water interface. The suspended microtensiometer encloses a clean water-air interface, while externally the device is surrounded by an interface containing an insoluble component. The difference in surface tension between the inside and outside of the device, called the surface pressure, causes the device to deflect. Finite element simulations were performed to predict device behavior prior to fabrication. Finished devices were tested in a Langmuir trough during multiple compression and expansion cycles, using a platinum Wilhelmy plate for an independent surface pressure measurement. A resolution of 0.16 mN/m was achieved.
<title>Fuzzy controlled neural network for sensor fusion with adaptability to sensor failure</title> (1997)

Artificial neural networks have proven to be powerful tools for sensor fusion, but they are not adaptable to sensor failure in a sensor suite. Physical Optics Corporation (POC) presents a new sensor fusion algorithm, applying fuzzy logic to give a neural network real-time adaptability to compensate for faulty sensors. Identifying data that originates from malfunctioning sensors, and excluding it from sensor fusion, allows the fuzzy neural network to achieve better results. A fuzzy logic-based functionality evaluator detects malfunctioning sensors in real time. A separate neural network is trained for each potential sensor failure situation. Since the number of possible sensor failure situations is large, the large number of neural networks is then fuzzified into a small number of fuzzy neural networks. Experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed approach -- the system correctly recognized airplane models in a computer simulation.
