Improvement of robot audition by interfacing sound source separation and automatic speech recognition with Missing Feature Theory (2004)

We have been developed robot audition system using the active direction-pass filter (ADPF) with the Scattering Theory, and demonstrated that the humanoid SIG could separate and recognize three simultaneous speeches originating from different directions. This is the first result that a robot can listen to several things simultaneously. However, its general applicability to other robots is not yet confirmed. Since automatic speech recognition (ASR) requires direction- and speaker-dependent acoustic models, it is difficult to adapt various kinds of environments. In addition ASR with lots of acoustic models causes slow processing. In this paper, these three problems are resolved. First, we confirmed the generality of the ADPF by applying it to two humanoids, SIG2 and Replie, under different environments. Next, we present the new interface between ADPF and ASR based on the Missing Feature Theory, which masks broken features of separated sound to make them unavailable to ASR. This new interface improved the recognition performance of three simultaneous speeches up to about 90%. Finally, since the ASR uses only a single acoustic model that is direction- and speaker-independent and created under clean environments, the processing of the whole system was made very light and fast.
Selective area growth of GaN nanocolumns by RF-MBE for light emitting devices (2008)

Periodical GaN nanocolumn arrays were grown on (111) Si substrates with AlN patterns by RF-MBE. Positional controls of nanocolumns were realized by artificial control of GaN nucleation using AlN nano-dot and AlN nano-hole patterns.

The natural history of untreated sporadic vestibular schwannomas: a comprehensive review of hearing outcomes (2009)

These data suggest that a growth rate of > 2.5 mm/year is a better predictor of hearing loss than the initial tumor size for patients undergoing observation management of VSs < 25 mm in largest diameter.
Major Complications in 213 Laparoscopic Nephrectomy Cases: The Indianapolis Experience (2002)

Our results reinforce the importance of thorough preoperative imaging, careful patient selection, surgeon experience and skill maintenance in laparoscopy as well as a low threshold for conversion to open surgery. This series provides additional evidence to support the evolution of laparoscopic nephrectomy into a standard of care.
A single photon timing instrument that covers a broad temporal range in the reversed timing configuration (1993)

A versatile single-photon timing instrument based on the reversed timing configuration has been constructed. Unlike similar instruments, the apparatus described here is capable of recording a broad range of excited-state decay times owing to a switched fiber optic delay. This allows the user to readily collect time-resolved luminescence data over a variable time window in the reversed-timing configuration. With proper adjustment of the appropriate components, one can acquire a luminescence decay over a variable time range from less than 1 ns to nearly 1 μs. The full width at half-maximum of the instrument response function is 42 ps. The utility of a switched fiber optic delay is discussed and the device’s construction is described.
Large deviations for many server networks with long range dependent and batch arrivals (2008)

A sample path large deviations principle is established for the (scaled) vector of number of customers in a Jackson network of many-server queues, in the asymptotic regime where the arrival rate at each queue and the number of servers increase to infinity in a specified fashion. This result is obtained under the assumption of (possibly time-inhomogeneous) Markovian service and routing, and a condition on the scaled sequence of cumulative arrival processes, which holds for a wide class of long-range dependent and batch arrival processes. Moreover, the explicit form of the rate function is obtained in the single-queue setting, and the most likely way in which a large number of customers build up in the system is identified by solving a variational problem.
Online Advertising: Heterogeneity and Conflation in Market Design (2010)

The past decade has seen the explosive emer gence of online advertising as a major source of revenue for Internet publishers. Analyses of this phenomenon are mostly conducted in the sway of Google's hugely successful search advertising program. In the early days of the Internet, before Google, virtually all advertising revenues were related to simple display ads. Yet by 2008 search advertising accounted for over $10.5 billion of the $23.4 billion in total online advertising, and pun dits were forecasting continued growth at rates of 12 percent per year over the next five years.1 Internet advertising markets have broken sharply from the advertising markets for tradi tional media. In the older media, every consumer that received a particular magazine, listened to a particular radio program, or watched a particu lar TV show would read, hear or see the same advertisement. An advertiser that wanted to reach an audience with particular characteris tics could do so only within narrow limits. For example, a beer company might advertise on televised football games, and a maker of fashion clothing might advertise in women's magazines. Although publications do some tailoring of their offerings, as when a newspaper has differ ent local editions, audience mix is nevertheless constrained by the audiences for each type of publication, rather than by the objectives of the advertiser or the current intentions of the viewer. The Internet changes that. When a con sumer types running shoes into a search box at Google or Yahoo or Bing, it provides direct information about the searcher's intent?what
From Sodium–Oxygen to Sodium–Air Battery: Enabled by Sodium Peroxide Dihydrate (2020)

Metal-air batteries have attracted extensive research interests due to their high theoretical energy density. However, most of the previous studies were limited by applying pure oxygen in the cathode, sacrificing the gravimetric and volumetric energy density. Here, we develop a real sodium-"air" battery, in which the rechargeability of the battery relies on the reversible reaction of the formation of sodium peroxide dihydrate (Na<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>·2H<sub>2</sub>O). After an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst is applied, the charge overpotential is largely reduced to achieve a high energy efficiency. The sodium-air batteries deliver high areal capacity of 4.2 mAh·cm<sup>-2</sup> and have a decent cycle life of 100 cycles. The oxygen crossover effect is largely suppressed by replacing the oxygen with air, whereas the dense solid electrolyte interphase formed on the sodium anode further prolongs the cycle life.
Functionalized xenon as a biosensor (2001)

The detection of biological molecules and their interactions is a significant component of modern biomedical research. In current biosensor technologies, simultaneous detection is limited to a small number of analytes by the spectral overlap of their signals. We have developed an NMR-based xenon biosensor that capitalizes on the enhanced signal-to-noise, spectral simplicity, and chemical-shift sensitivity of laser-polarized xenon to detect specific biomolecules at the level of tens of nanomoles. We present results using xenon "functionalized" by a biotin-modified supramolecular cage to detect biotin-avidin binding. This biosensor methodology can be extended to a multiplexing assay for multiple analytes.
24‐4: Investigation of Effect of Triplet‐Triplet Annihilation and Molecular Orientation on External Quantum Efficiency of Ultrahigh‐Efficiency Blue Fluorescent Device (2016)

The effects of triplet‐triplet annihilation (TTA) and molecular orientation were quantitatively investigated for a high‐efficiency blue fluorescent organic light‐emitting diode. Both the efficient TTA generation by improving carrier balance and the horizontal orientation of the transition dipole moment of the blue dopant realized ultrahigh external quantum efficiency (approximately 12%).
A seed coat bedding assay shows that RGL2-dependent release of abscisic acid by the endosperm controls embryo growth in Arabidopsis dormant seeds (2010)

Seed dormancy is an ecologically important adaptive trait in plants whereby germination is repressed even under favorable germination conditions such as imbibition with water. In Arabidopsis and most plant species, dormancy absolutely requires an unidentified seed coat germination-repressive activity and constitutively higher abscisic acid (ABA) levels upon seed imbibition. The mechanisms underlying these processes and their possible relationship are incompletely understood. We developed a "seed coat bedding" assay monitoring the growth of dissected embryos cultured on a layer of seed coats, allowing combinatorial experiments using dormant, nondormant, and various genetically modified seed coat and embryonic materials. This assay, combined with direct ABA measurements, revealed that, upon imbibition, dormant coats, unlike nondormant coats, actively produce and release ABA to repress embryo germination, whatever the embryo origin, i.e., from dormant, nondormant, or never dormant aba seeds, unable to synthesize ABA. The persistent high ABA levels in imbibed dormant seeds requires the permanent expression of the DELLA gene RGL2, where it remains insensitive to gibberellins (GA) unlike in nondormant seeds. These findings present the seed coat as an organ actively controlling germination upon seed imbibition and provide a framework to investigate how environmental factors break seed dormancy.

DYSSS: A Dynamic and Context-Aware Security System for Shared Sensor Networks (2015)

In recent years, we have witnessed the emergence of Shared Sensor Networks (SSNs) as a core component of cyber-physical systems for diverse applications. As Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs) design starts shifting from application-specific platforms to shared system infrastructures, a pressing research challenge is security. In scenarios involving unprotected hostile outdoor areas, SSNs are prone to different types of attacks that can compromise reliability, integrity, and availability of the sensor data traffic and sensor lifetime as well. In this work we propose a Dynamic Security System to be applied in the shared sensor network context. Its basic feature is the nodes neighborhood monitoring and collaboration (through the use of the Byzantine algorithm) to identify an attack and enhance security. The proposed security system is dynamic since it is able to manage the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of multiple applications according to the current execution context. It is also resilient, since it is able to support the continuous network operation even in the presence of malicious or faulty nodes. Its resilience is achieved for the capacity of gathering information from several nodes, thus inferring the countermeasures using context information.
ASP<i>n</i>P: An Accurate and Scalable Solution to the Perspective-<i>n</i>-Point Problem (2013)

We propose an accurate and scalable solution to the perspective-n-point problem, referred to as ASPnP. Our main idea is to estimate the orientation and position parameters by directly minimizing a properly defined algebraic error. By using a novel quaternion representation of the rotation, our solution is immune to any parametrization degeneracy. To obtain the global optimum, we use the Gröbner basis technique to solve the polynomial system derived from the first-order optimality condition. The main advantages of our proposed solution lie in accuracy and scalability. Extensive experiment results, with both synthetic and real data, demonstrate that our proposed solution has better accuracy than the state-of-the-art noniterative solutions. More importantly, by exploiting vectorization operations, the computational cost of our ASPnP solution is almost constant, independent of the number of point correspondences n in the wide range from 4 to 1000. In our experiment settings, the ASPnP solution takes about 4 milliseconds, thus best suited for real-time applications with a drastically varying number of 3D-to-2D point correspondences.
The Current State of Peptide Drug Discovery: Back to the Future? (2017)

Over the past decade, peptide drug discovery has experienced a revival of interest and scientific momentum, as the pharmaceutical industry has come to appreciate the role that peptide therapeutics can play in addressing unmet medical needs and how this class of compounds can be an excellent complement or even preferable alternative to small molecule and biological therapeutics. In this Perspective, we give a concise description of the recent progress in peptide drug discovery in a holistic manner, highlighting enabling technological advances affecting nearly every aspect of this field: from lead discovery, to synthesis and optimization, to peptide drug delivery. An emphasis is placed on describing research efforts to overcome the inherent weaknesses of peptide drugs, in particular their poor pharmacokinetic properties, and how these efforts have been critical to the discovery, design, and subsequent development of novel therapeutics.
Wheat ms5 male‐sterility is induced by recessive homoeologous A and D genome non‐specific lipid transfer proteins (2019)

Nuclear male-sterile mutants with non-conditional, recessive and strictly monogenic inheritance are useful for both hybrid and conventional breeding systems, and have long been a research focus for many crops. In allohexaploid wheat, however, genic redundancy results in rarity of such mutants, with the ethyl methanesulfonate-induced mutant ms5 among the few reported to date. Here, we identify TaMs5 as a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored lipid transfer protein required for normal pollen exine development, and by transgenic complementation demonstrate that TaMs5-A restores fertility to ms5. We show ms5 locates to a centromere-proximal interval and has a sterility inheritance pattern modulated by TaMs5-D but not TaMs5-B. We describe two allelic forms of TaMs5-D, one of which is non-functional and confers mono-factorial inheritance of sterility. The second form is functional but shows incomplete dominance. Consistent with reduced functionality, transcript abundance in developing anthers was found to be lower for TaMs5-D than TaMs5-A. At the 3B homoeolocus, we found only non-functional alleles among 178 diverse hexaploid and tetraploid wheats that include landraces and Triticum dicoccoides. Apparent ubiquity of non-functional TaMs5-B alleles suggests loss-of-function arose early in wheat evolution and, therefore, at most knockout of two homoeoloci is required for sterility. This work provides genetic information, resources and tools required for successful implementation of ms5 sterility in breeding systems for bread and durum wheats.
A design of high optical efficiency wedge type light guide plate adopting twin inclined cylindrical surface (2017)

Abstract We propose wedge type light guide plate (LGP) adopting twin inclined cylindrical surfaces (TICS) at the incident part of a LGP. It has higher optical efficiency than conventional wedge type LGP. In dimension of LGP which the thickness of incident part is 1.5 mm and that of luminance part is 0.7 mm, the optical efficiency of wedge type LGP adopting TICS is expected to be 96% in comparison with a normal flat LGP. In addition, there is an advantage to reduce the non‐uniformity of vicinity of light emitted diodes (LEDs) by TICS reflecting light laterally. However, it is necessary that the LED centers are aligned with the intersections of TICS. The misalignment of LED causes non‐uniformity of optical profile that is slightly larger than a normal LGP.
Plasma Immunoreactive Calcitonin in Lung Cancer* (1980)

We have measured plasma calcitonin (CT) in 135 untreated eucalcemic men with lung cancer and a control/ smoker population. CT levels were determined by RIA and validated by immunoextraction. Plasma immunoreactive CT moieties were purified by immunoadsorbent chromatography, treated with mercaptoethanol and urea, and characterized by gel filtration. Artifacts in human CT RIAs of cancer patient plasmas were detected by parallel plasma incubations in a salmon CT RIA system, which does not detect human CT, and by imrau-noprecipitation of tracer at the end of RIA incubations. Heating fresh plasmas to 65 C for 1.5 h reduced RIA artifacts without loss of CT moieties. Such characterization of hypercalcitonine-mia in each of the histopathological types of lung cancer has raised some important questions about the interpretation of plasma CT RIA measurements in lung cancer. Based on inhibition of tracer-antibody binding, plasma CT seemed to be elevated in 18‥ (14 of 80 samples) of the basal plasma samples obtained from patients with epidermoid or an-aplastic lung cancer. Unequivocal hypercalcitoninemia (heat stable, causin;. no inhibition of antibody-tracer binding in the salmon CT P As, and immunoextractable with human CT antibodies) was not found in any of the apparently hypercalciton-inemic plasmas from persons with epidermoid or anaplastic lung cancer. By contrast, unequivocal hypercalcitoninemia was found i n 27‥(15 of 55 samples) of the plasma samples from patients with small cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma. Most of the im-munoreactive CT recovered from small cell and adenocarcinoma lung cancer plasmas with unequivocally elevated CT levels is much larger than the CT monomer.
Electrical properties of iron-sand columns: Implications for induced polarization investigation and performance monitoring of iron-wall barriers (2005)

Abstract We investigate the electrical response (0.1–1000 Hz) of reactive iron barriers by making measurements on zero valent iron (Fe0)-sand columns under the following conditions: (1) variable Fe0 surface area (0.1–100% by volume Fe0) under constant electrolyte chemistry; (2) variable electrolyte activity (0.01–1 mol/liter), valence (mono trivalent), and pH under constant Fe0-sand composition; and (3) forced precipitation of iron hydroxides and iron carbonates on the Fe0 surface. We model the measurements in terms of conduction magnitude, polarization magnitude, and polarization relaxation time. Our key findings are: Polarization magnitude exhibits a linear relation to the surface area of Fe0, whereas conduction magnitude is only weakly dependent on the Fe0 concentration below 30% by volume Fe0.Polarization magnitude shows a power law relation to electrolyte activity, with exponents decreasing from 0.9 for monovalent solutions to 0.7 for trivalent solutions.The relaxation time parameter depends on activity and valence in a manner that is partly consistent with the variation in double layer thickness predicted from theory.pH exerts minor control on the electrical parameters.Polarization magnitude and relaxation time both increase as a result of precipitation induced on the surface of Fe0. Our results show that induced polarization parameters systematically change in response to changes in the Fe0-electrolyte interfacial chemistry.
Performance and Cost Considerations for Providing Geo-Elasticity in Database Clouds (2017)

Online applications that serve global workload have become a norm and those applications are experiencing not only temporal but also spatial workload variations. In addition, more applications are hosting their backend tiers separately for benefits such as ease of management. To provision for such applications, traditional elasticity approaches that only consider temporal workload dynamics and assume well-provisioned backends are insufficient. Instead, in this article, we propose a new type of provisioning mechanisms—geo-elasticity, by utilizing distributed clouds with different locations. Centered on this idea, we build a system called DBScale that tracks geographic variations in the workload to dynamically provision database replicas at different cloud locations across the globe. Our geo-elastic provisioning approach comprises a regression-based model that infers database query workload from spatially distributed front-end workload, a two-node open queueing network model that estimates the capacity of databases serving both CPU and I/O-intensive query workloads and greedy algorithms for selecting best cloud locations based on latency and cost. We implement a prototype of our DBScale system on Amazon EC2’s distributed cloud. Our experiments with our prototype show up to a 66% improvement in response time when compared to local elasticity approaches.
EOMM (2017)

Matchmaking connects multiple players to participate in online player-versus-player games. Current matchmaking systems depend on a single core strategy: create fair games at all times. These systems pair similarly skilled players on the assumption that a fair game is best player experience. We will demonstrate, however, that this intuitive assumption sometimes fails and that matchmaking based on fairness is not optimal for engagement.
