Modeling and Performance Evaluation for Intelligent Internet of Intelligence Things (2023)

Existing open-source components can be combined with new ones to create new systems, or new components can be developed from scratch. Next-generation Web technologies are supported by FIWARE, a collection of software modules for developing and disseminating new applications. The Internet of Things (IoT) devices and Orion-Context Broker technologies specified in FIWARE’s IoT Applications Enablement Framework are evaluated in this article. The northbound interface’s domain query throughput, computing resource use, and latency were all taken into account in this performance study. Our performance studies also took into account the various options for scaling the elements of the system and its overall functionality in the cloud, in order to accommodate the rapidly expanding number of devices in the IoT.
In vitro and in vivo properties of CD133 expressing cells from human lung cancer cell lines (2013)

Our data do not show a difference in tumorigenic potential of CD133high and CD133dim cells with respect to any of the parameters analyzed in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that CD133 expression is not restricted to cancer-initiating cells in the human lung cancer cell line LC-42.
Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) histogram biomarkers for prediction of neoadjuvant treatment response in breast cancer patients (2017)

D<sub>p</sub> metrics showed prognostic capabilities; slow and heterogeneous pseudodiffusion offer poor prognosis. Baseline ADC/D<sub>t</sub> parameters were not significant predictors of response. This work suggests that IVIM mean values and heterogeneity metrics may have prognostic value in the setting of breast cancer NAT.
Preventing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms on Indwelling Catheters by Surface-Bound Enzymes (2021)

Implanted medical devices such as central venous catheters are highly susceptible to microbial colonization and biofilm formation and are a major risk factor for nosocomial infections. The opportunistic pathogen <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> uses exopolysaccharides, such as Psl, for both initial surface attachment and biofilm formation. We have previously shown that chemically immobilizing the Psl-specific glycoside hydrolase, PslG<sub>h</sub>, to a material surface can inhibit <i>P. aeruginosa</i> biofilm formation. Herein, we show that PslG<sub>h</sub> can be uniformly immobilized on the lumen surface of medical-grade, commercial polyethylene, polyurethane, and polydimethylsiloxane (silicone) catheter tubing. We confirmed that the surface-bound PslG<sub>h</sub> was uniformly distributed along the catheter length and remained active even after storage for 30 days at 4 °C. <i>P. aeruginosa</i> colonization and biofilm formation under dynamic flow culture conditions <i>in vitro</i> showed a 3-log reduction in the number of bacteria during the first 11 days, and a 2-log reduction by day 14 for PslG<sub>h</sub>-modified PE-100 catheters, compared to untreated catheter controls. In an <i>in vivo</i> rat infection model, PslG<sub>h</sub>-modified PE-100 catheters showed a ∼1.5-log reduction in the colonization of the clinical <i>P. aeruginosa</i> ATCC 27853 strain after 24 h. These results demonstrate the robust ability of surface-bound glycoside hydrolase enzymes to inhibit biofilm formation and their potential to reduce rates of device-associated infections.
A multiple imaging system using holographic optical elements for excimer laser machining (1997)

We propose a novel excimer laser machining using a multiple imaging system employing a holographic optical element (HOE). The multiple imaging system can generate many images from one mask pattern. The HOEs that we used were com-puter generated phase holograms.We calculated the HOE by with the following three-step optimization using a direct binary search algorithm, 1) high efficiency enhancement step, 2) uniforming step and 3) noise reduction step. By this optimization procedure, a diffraction efficiency over 60% was obtained, the uniformity errors were less than 2%, and noise peak was less than 5% of signal peaks. The optimized HOE pattern was 4-level, and the matrix size was 1024×1024 with 1 micron pixels. To obtain a large HOE area, we tiled the optimized HOE pattern, and manufactured 30×30mm HOEs on a quartz substrate by dry etching.With the use of this HOE, the 95 holes whose diameter was 0.1mm were drilled in a 10×10mm area. The energy avalil-ability was 19.4%. When a conventional mask-projection system is used, the energy availability is usually less than 1% owing to the small rate of the mask open area, A multiple imaging system using HOE can machine small holes at an efficiency up to 20 times that of conventional mask-projection system.
Bragg gratings written in multimode borosilicate fibres using ultrafast infrared radiation and phase mask (2008)

Inscription of Bragg grating structures is reported for the first time in multimode borosilicate fibres using femtosecond pulse duration 800 nm infrared radiation and a phase mask. Thermal annealing of the gratings up to 700°C reveals a behaviour similar to type I-IR gratings made in silica fibre with ultrafast infrared radiation.
Polyphase Induction Motor Noise (1971)

Increasing awareness of industrial noise pollution and the sparsity of published literature on noise control of electric motors indicate the need for a comprehensive review of the problem as well as its solutions. Fundamental concepts of noise generation, propagation, and measurement are presented and historic limits are referred to. Specific electrical and mechanical noise sources are discussed as are source and transmission control measures. Several illustrative numerical samples are used. Definite electric motor noise classifications are proposed.
Increasing the molecular weight of conjugated polyelectrolytes improves the electrochemical stability of their pseudocapacitor gels (2022)

Increasing the molecular weight of conjugated polyelectrolytes leads to improvements in capacitance and cycling stability, to the point where it is possible to retain 76% of the original performance after 100 000 charge–discharge cycles.
Scattering features for lung cancer detection in fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy images (2013)

Fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy (FCFM) imaging technique is a novel medical imaging technique which interest is yet to be establish for diagnosis problem. This paper addresses the problem of lung cancer detection using FCFM images and as a first contribution, assesses the feasibility of computer aided diagnosis through these images. For doing so, we have built a pattern recognition scheme which involves a feature extraction and a classification stages. The second contribution relies on the used features for discrimination. Indeed, we have employed the so-called \emph{scattering transform} for extracting discriminative features robust to small deformations in the images. We have shown that these features yield to better recognition performances than classical yet powerful features like \emph{Local Binary Patterns} (LBP) for our FCFM image classification problems and are competitive to LBP on other medical imaging classification problems. Another of our findings is that LBP and scattering-based features provides complementary discriminative informations and in some situations, we have empirically established that enhanced performances can be obtained when jointly using LBP and scattering features.
Development of brain-penetrable antibody radioligands for in vivo PET imaging of amyloid-β and tau (2023)

We successfully labeled four novel and specifically engineered bispecific antibodies with [<sup>18</sup>F]SFB under mild conditions with a high RCY and purities. This study provides strategies to create brain-penetrable F-18 radiolabeled antibody probes for the selective detection of tau and Aβ aggregates in the brain of transgenic AD mice via <i>in vivo</i> PET imaging.
Self-Assembled Organometallic Nickel Complexes as Catalysts for Selective Dimerization of Ethylene into 1-Butene (2015)

Sulfonamido-phosphorus and aminophosphine ligands self-assemble to readily form active and stable nickel catalysts that are highly selective for the dimerization of ethylene to 1-butene. The self-assembled allyl-nickel complexes are zwitterionic and are stabilized by hydrogen bond interactions between the two ligands. These organometallic cis-diphosphine complexes rearrange under an ethylene atmosphere to give trans-diphosphine catalysts, with one monoanionic P,O METAMORPhos ligand and an aminophosphine.
Lithium battery electrodes with ultra-thin alumina coatings (2023)

Electrodes for lithium batteries are coated via an atomic layer deposition process. The coatings can be applied to the assembled electrodes, or in some cases to particles of electrode material prior to assembling the particles into an electrode. The coatings can be as thin as 2 .ANG.ngstroms thick. The coating provides for a stable electrode. Batteries containing the electrodes tend to exhibit high cycling capacities.

On IP traceback (2003)

In this article we present the current state of the art in IP traceback. The rising threat of cyber attacks, especially DDoS, makes the IP traceback problem very relevant to today's Internet security. Each approach is evaluated in terms of its pros and cons. We also relate each approach to practical deployment issues on the existing Internet infrastructure. The functionality of each approach is discussed in detail and then evaluated. We conclude with a discussion on some legal implications of IP traceback.
Effect of Bredinin on the Primary Culture of Fetal Mouse Cells and Adult Mouse Lung Cells. (1992)

The effects of bredinin on the primary culture of fetal mouse cells (fetal cells) and adult mouse lung cells (lung cells) were compared. Bredinin inhibited the growth of both cells, and this inhibition was found to be caused, at least in part, by the inhibition of the S phase and/or the transition from the G1 to S phase of the cell cycle. Bredinin inhibited both DNA and RNA synthesis without affecting protein synthesis. However, the inhibitory effect of bredinin differed between the two cell lines; the fetal cells were more sensitive than the lung cells, and bredinin inhibited DNA synthesis 100 times more potently in the fetal cells. The inhibition of DNA synthesis by bredinin in the fetal cells was gradually lowered by in vitro aging of the fetal cells to a level similar to that in the lung cells. There was no difference in the rate of incorporation of bredinin into the cells between the fetal cells and the lung cells. When fetal tissue was used as an enzyme source, bredinin was converted to bredinin 5'-monophosphate (BMP), but when lung tissue was used, bredinin was not converted. This is in agreement with the finding that bredinin has selective toxicity on fetuses in vivo but is hardly toxic to adult cells, which suggests the involvement of BMP in the selective toxicity of bredinin on the fetus.
Scoping security issues for interactive grids (2004)

Grid computing allows flexible resource sharing among geographically distributed computing resources in multiple administrative domains. Virtualization of resources allows jobs to be run on remote resources participating in a grid. While this computing paradigm has been used primarily for batch jobs, we study interactive grid applications rich in graphics and multimedia such as scientific visualization and digital content creation. A host of security issues need to be addressed for such interactive grids to gain acceptance, particularly in industry. The purpose of this paper is to study these security issues. The grid security infrastructure (GSI), a component of the Globus Toolkit (I. Foster et al., 1997), creates grid credentials for every user and resource. We describe how this may be extended to securely set up an interactive session on a remote host, and the additional security issues associated with interactive session management. We propose controlled shell and controlled desktop mechanisms that restrict the user to execute only authorized commands and applications, and controlled user and super-user accounts that customize the shell and desktop using policy files. We also propose a new approach to scoping the security needs of grid systems by defining three generic scenarios: mutual trust, partial trust and mutual distrust. New security issues arise when the user may not be trusted, or the user and the host computer's owner are mutually suspicious.
Stable DRIE-patterned SiO<inf>2</inf>/Si<inf>3</inf>N<inf>4</inf> electrets (2013)

This paper presents a new manufacturing process aimed at making stable patterned electrets. Based on a preliminary DRIE step, these electrets have shown an excellent stability up to 4mC/m <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ; no charge decay has been observed in 450 days. The patterning pace has almost no effect on the electret stability down to 25μm and probably less. Stability tests have been performed at elevated temperatures (250°C during 2 hours), under X-rays and strong magnetic fields (Magnetic Resonance Imaging); again, no charge decay has been observed, validating their compatibility with medical implants and in particular with heartbeats vibration energy harvesters. A multi-point corona charger has also been manufactured to uniformly charge 200mm wafers at one time.
Analysis of Failure Rate by Column Distribution in Magnetically Aligned Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive (2011)

Characteristics of <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">z</i> -axis interconnects using magnetically aligned anisotropic conductive adhesives (ACAs) are analyzed for their applicability for small pad sizes. In order to evaluate the performance of ACAs, a statistical estimation of the failure rate of interconnects was carried out using top-view images of assembled samples. Through a column mapping process, the failure rate is calculated as a function of pad size. The calculated and measured results indicate that the location of the formed columns is the predominant effect determining interconnect failure. The developed failure estimation approach is effective in demonstrating the effects of scaling to smaller particles in ACAs.
Modifiable and nonmodifiable factors associated with patient satisfaction in spine surgery and other orthopaedic subspecialties: A retrospective survey analysis (2019)

Background: The Press Ganey (PG) satisfaction survey is the most common measure to assess ambulatory patient satisfaction. Understanding how factors affecting spine patient satisfaction compare with other orthopedic subspecialties may allow for interventions to increase satisfaction. This study aimed to determine if patient satisfaction predictors differ between spine and nonspine orthopaedic subspecialties. Methods: PG surveys from 2013-2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Correlation analysis was performed between each survey question, and overall experience as measured by Likelihood of Recommending the provider (LTR) and Provider Rating (PR). Regression modeling was utilized to identify differences between ambulatory patients in spine and other nonspine orthopaedic subspecialties. Results: Overall, 16,175 orthopaedic patient surveys were analyzed, of which 1,400 surveys were from spine patients. The mean age for respondents was 55.4 yr, and 41.2% were female. Poor ratings were predicted by higher education level in both groups. Female physicians (PR OR=1.320 P =0.07, LTR OR=1.529 P =0.04) and a high school education (PR OR=1.488 P =0.05, LTR OR=1.968 P =0.01) were significant predictors of satisfaction in nonspine orthopaedic subspecialties, but not in spine patients. Provider communication, staff communication, concordant ethnicity, and age bias were predictors for PR (Spine R 2 =0.735, Orthopedics R 2 =0.665) and LTR (Spine R 2 :0.642, Orthopedics R 2 =0.599) in both groups. Provider communication was the strongest independent predictor of high satisfaction for spine (PR R 2 =0.728, LTR R 2 =0.627) and nonspine orthopaedic patients (R 2 =0.662, R 2 =0.583) followed by staff communication, ethnicity, and age. Conclusions: Satisfaction for both spine and nonspine orthopaedic patients is driven by provider communication, followed by staff communication, ethnicity, and age. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
Deep learning (2014)

Building intelligent systems that are capable of extracting high-level representations from high-dimensional data lies at the core of solving many AI related tasks, including visual object or pattern recognition, speech perception, and language understanding. Theoretical and biological arguments strongly suggest that building such systems requires deep architectures that involve many layers of nonlinear processing. Many existing learning algorithms use shallow architectures, including neural networks with only one hidden layer, support vector machines, kernel logistic regression, and many others. The internal representations learned by such systems are necessarily simple and are incapable of extracting some types of complex structure from high-dimensional input. In the past few years, researchers across many different communities, from applied statistics to engineering, computer science, and neuroscience, have proposed several deep (hierarchical) models that are capable of extracting meaningful, high-level representations. An important property of these models is that they can extract complex statistical dependencies from data and efficiently learn high-level representations by re-using and combining intermediate concepts, allowing these models to generalize well across a wide variety of tasks. The learned high-level representations have been shown to give state-of-the-art results in many challenging learning problems and have been successfully applied in a wide variety of application domains, including visual object recognition, information retrieval, natural language processing, and speech perception. A few notable examples of such models include Deep Belief Networks, Deep Boltzmann Machines, Deep Autoencoders, and sparse coding-based methods. The goal of the tutorial is to introduce the recent developments of various deep learning methods to the KDD community. The core focus will be placed on algorithms that can learn multi-layer hierarchies of representations, emphasizing their applications in information retrieval, object recognition, and speech perception.

Potentiation of antitumor activity of irinotecan by chemically modified oligonucleotides (2001)

Co-administration of synthetic chemically modified oligonucleotides with irinotecan, a selective topoisomerase I inhibitor, provided a significant enhancement in the antitumor activity of irinotecan. The enhancement of antitumor activity of irinotecan with co-administration of chemically modified oligonucleotides was observed in several tumor models--pancreatic cancer (Panc-1), colon cancer (HCT-116) and melanoma (A375). Inhibition of tumor growth in all three models required the co-administration of irinotecan and chemically modified oligonucleotides, but was independent of the nucleotide sequence of the oligonucleotides. The potentiation of antitumor activity was dependent on the dose of irinotecan and chemically modified oligonucleotides administered. The enhancement of antitumor activity of irinotecan was also observed by co-administration of a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide, however, to a lesser extent than did chemically modified oligonucleotides, suggesting that metabolic stability of the oligonucleotide contributes to the enhancement of antitumor activity seen with irinotecan. The co-administration of dextran sulfate sodium with irinotecan showed insignificant potentiation of antitumor activity of irinotecan, suggesting that the enhancement of antitumor activity of irinotecan observed was not a result of polyanionic characteristic of oligonucleotides. Co-administration of irinotecan and chemically modified oligonucleotides did not result in increased toxicity in the tumor models studied. Potentiation of antitumor activity of irinotecan observed with co-administration of oligonucleotides suggests that the oligonucleotides affect the pharmacokinetics and/or metabolism of irinotecan. The use of chemically modified oligonucleotides together with irinotecan may increase the therapeutic index of irinotecan in cancer patients and continued development of such agents should be considered.
Role of Re-entry Tears on the Dynamics of Type B Dissection Flap (2017)

Mortality during follow-up after acute Type B aortic dissection is substantial with aortic expansion observed in over 59% of the patients. Lumen pressure differential is considered a prime contributing factor for aortic dilation after propagation. The objective of the study was to evaluate the relationship between changes in vessel geometry with and without lumen pressure differential post propagation in an ex vivo porcine model with comparison with patient clinical data. A pulse duplicator system was utilized to propagate the dissection within descending thoracic porcine aortic vessels for set proximal (%circumference of the entry tear: 40%, axial length: 2 cm) and re-entry (50% of distal vessel circumference) tear geometry. Measurements of lumen pressure differential were made along with quantification of vessel geometry (n = 16). The magnitude of mean lumen pressure difference measured after propagation was low (~ 5 mmHg) with higher pressures measured in false lumen and as anticipated the pressure difference approached zero after the creation of distal re-entry tear. False lumen Dissection Ratio (FDR) defined as arc length of dissected wall divided by arc length of dissection flap, had mean value of 1.59 ± 0.01 at pressure of 120/80 mmHg post propagation with increasing values with increase in pulse pressure that was not rescued with the creation of distal re-entry tear (p < 0.01). An average FDR of 1.87 ± 0.27 was measured in patients with acute Type B dissection. Higher FDR value (FDR = 1 implies zero dissection) in the presence of distal re-entry tear demonstrates an acute change in vessel morphology in response to the dissection independent of local pressure changes challenges the re-apposition of the aortic wall.
