Electro-mechanical properties of friction spun conductive hybrid yarns made of carbon filaments for composites (2011)

Textile-reinforced composites are a leading trend in lightweight structure design. The demand for additional function integration in lightweight structures made from textile-reinforced composites is growing rapidly. This article reports on the production of functional yarns made with friction spinning using carbon filament yarn as the core component and polypropylene fibres as the sheath component. The suitability of these yarns was tested with regards to mechanical properties for use in textile-reinforced thermoplastic composites. Their ability to perform additional functions such as structural health monitoring and signal transfer was also tested. Differences in the electro-mechanical and mechanical properties of hybrid yarns made from different types of carbon filament yarn core and polypropylene sheath were investigated with respect to different spinning parameters used to produce the yarns. Optimum processing parameters have been suggested that improve the functional properties of these yarns.
Detecting Missing Annotation Disagreement using Eye Gaze Information (2013)

This paper discusses the detection of miss-ing annotation disagreements (MADs), in which an annotator misses annotating an annotation instance while her counterpart correctly annotates it. We employ anno-tator eye gaze as a clue for detecting this type of disagreement together with lin-guistic information. More precisely, we extract highly frequent gaze patterns from the pre-extracted gaze sequences related to the annotation target, and then use the gaze patterns as features for detecting the MADs. Through the empirical evaluation using the data set collected in our previ-ous study, we investigated the effective-ness of each type of information. The re-sults showed that both eye gaze and lin-guistic information contributed to improv-ing performance of our MAD detection model compared with the baseline model. Furthermore, our additional investigation revealed that some specific gaze patterns could be a good indicator for detecting the MADs. 1

Transient Hsp90 suppression promotes a heritable change in protein translation (2018)

The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) chaperone functions as a protein-folding buffer and plays a unique role promoting the evolution of new heritable traits. To investigate the role of Hsp90 in modulating protein synthesis, we screened more than 1200 proteins involved in mRNA regulation for physical interactions with Hsp90 in human cells. Among the top hits was CPEB2, which strongly binds Hsp90 via its prion domain, reminiscent of the prion-like regulation of translation of Aplysia CPEB. In a yeast model of CPEB prion-dependent translation regulation, transient inhibition of Hsp90 amplified CPEB2 prion activity and resulted in persistent translation of the CPEB reporter. Remarkably, inhibition of Hsp90 was sufficient to induce a heritable change in protein translation that persisted for 30 generations, even in the absence of exogenous CPEB. Although we identified a variety of perturbations that enhanced translation of the reporter, only Hsp90 inhibition led to persistent activation. Thus, transient loss of Hsp90 function leads to the non-genetic inheritance of a novel translational state. We propose that, in addition to sculpting the conformational landscape of the proteome, Hsp90 promotes phenotypic variation by modulating protein synthesis.
Hexane dissolved in dioleoyllecithin bilayers has a partial molar volume of approximately zero (1985)

Neutron diffraction has been used to measure the amount and distribution of hexane incorporated from the vapor phase into oriented dioleoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers at 66% relative humidity. We reported earlier that hexane at low concentrations is located largely in a zone 10 A wide at the center of the bilayer [White, S. H., King, G. I., & Cain, J. E. (1981) Nature (London) 290, 161-163]. Extending these studies to high hexane concentrations, we find no readily apparent change in the volume of the hydrocarbon region of the bilayer even though more than one hexane molecule per lipid enters the region. The hexane partial molar volume in the bilayer hydrocarbon region is thus approximately zero. Within our statistical confidence limits, the partial molar volume is certainly no greater than one-third the molecular volume of the hexane. Further, analysis of the data suggests that the mass density of the bilayer is considerably less than 1 in the absence of hexane. These findings are in conflict with the assumptions usually made about lipid bilayers and their interaction with nonpolar hydrophobic molecules. In the course of these experiments, we found that standard methods of interpreting diffraction results were not suitable for our purposes. We thus developed several new methods which are summarized in the text and two appendixes. One of these methods allows us to define with precision the width of the hydrocarbon core of the bilayer. The other provides a means of calculating the effects of changes in the absolute scaling of the bilayers with changes in composition without placing the structures on an absolute scattering length density scale.
Letter: association between moderate alcohol consumption and non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease – authors’ reply (2015)

We thank Kim and Kim for their interest in our work.1 They highlighted the differential effects of alcohol on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) depending on the amount of consumption. Although modest drinking has been shown to be protective against NAFLD and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis,2, 3 excessive alcohol consumption is certainly harmful to the liver. We would like to clarify that in our cohort, 718 (78.0%) subjects were nondrinkers, 148 (16.1%) drank <70 g of alcohol per week, and only 54 (5.9%) drank ≥70 g per week.4, 5 Thus, most of the subjects should be classified as nondrinkers or modest drinkers. Their second point is about stratified analysis according to drinking status. By stratification, the lipopolysaccharide-binding protein remained increased in NAFLD patients, both in drinkers and nondrinkers (Table 1). Despite some overlap, nondrinkers with NAFLD also tended to have higher EndoCab immunoglobulin G and fetuin-A level, but the difference was not apparent in drinkers. The authors’ declarations of personal and financial interests are unchanged from those in the original article.4
Hierarchical Clustering Multi-Task Learning for Joint Human Action Grouping and Recognition (2016)

This paper proposes a hierarchical clustering multi-task learning (HC-MTL) method for joint human action grouping and recognition. Specifically, we formulate the objective function into the group-wise least square loss regularized by low rank and sparsity with respect to two latent variables, model parameters and grouping information, for joint optimization. To handle this non-convex optimization, we decompose it into two sub-tasks, multi-task learning and task relatedness discovery. First, we convert this non-convex objective function into the convex formulation by fixing the latent grouping information. This new objective function focuses on multi-task learning by strengthening the shared-action relationship and action-specific feature learning. Second, we leverage the learned model parameters for the task relatedness measure and clustering. In this way, HC-MTL can attain both optimal action models and group discovery by alternating iteratively. The proposed method is validated on three kinds of challenging datasets, including six realistic action datasets (Hollywood2, YouTube, UCF Sports, UCF50, HMDB51 & UCF101), two constrained datasets (KTH & TJU), and two multi-view datasets (MV-TJU & IXMAS). The extensive experimental results show that: 1) HC-MTL can produce competing performances to the state of the arts for action recognition and grouping; 2) HC-MTL can overcome the difficulty in heuristic action grouping simply based on human knowledge; 3) HC-MTL can avoid the possible inconsistency between the subjective action grouping depending on human knowledge and objective action grouping based on the feature subspace distributions of multiple actions. Comparison with the popular clustered multi-task learning further reveals that the discovered latent relatedness by HC-MTL aids inducing the group-wise multi-task learning and boosts the performance. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first work that breaks the assumption that all actions are either independent for individual learning or correlated for joint modeling and proposes HC-MTL for automated, joint action grouping and modeling.

Collision Avoidance and Liveness of Multi-agent Systems with CBF-based Controllers (2021)

In this paper we consider multi-agent collision avoidance using Control Barrier Functions (CBF). One contribution is a comparison of several CBF-based control policies proposed in the literature and a new one proposed here for completeness. We study tradeoffs between a level of safety guarantee and liveness – the ability to reach a destination in short time without large detours or gridlock – using the centralized controller as the benchmark. The new policy (CCS2) straddles the space between policies with only local control available and a more complex Predictor-Corrector for Collision Avoidance (PCCA) policy and tries to answer how much performance might be lost if the policy does not use estimates or measurements of other agents’ control actions. Another contribution of the paper is that it establishes feasibility for the centralized, PCCA and CCS2 policies. Monte Carlo simulations show that decentralized, host-only control policies lack liveness compared to the ones that use everyone’s control inputs in the calculations (whether they are local copies or not) and that the PCCA policy, which runs with incomplete information, performs equally as well as the centralized.

In Vivo Deformation of the Human Abdominal Aorta and Common Iliac Arteries With Hip and Knee Flexion:Implications for the Design of Stent-Grafts (2009)

Although this study was limited to a few healthy young adults, musculoskeletal motion, specifically hip flexion, caused significant in vivo morphological changes (shortening, twisting, and bending) of the arteries. Predominant superior translation of the CIAs was observed, which suggests that preclinical testing of cyclic superior-inferior translational motion may aid in predicting stent-graft fractures. In turn, stent-graft design could be improved, decreasing overall stent-graft-related complications.
UV-adVISor: Attention-Based Recurrent Neural Networks to Predict UV-Vis Spectra (2021)

Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectra are routinely collected as part of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis systems and can be used to identify chemical reaction products by comparison to reference spectra. Here, we present UV-adVISor as a new computational tool for predicting UV-Vis spectra from a molecule’s structure alone. UV-Vis prediction was approached as a sequence-to-sequence problem. We utilized Long-Short Term Memory and attention-based neural networks with Extended Connectivity Fingerprint diameter 6 or molecule SMILES to generate predictive models for UV-spectra. We have produced two spectrum datasets (Dataset I, N = 949 and Dataset II, N = 2222) using different compound collections and spectrum acquisition methods to train, validate, and test our models. We evaluated the prediction accuracy of the complete spectra by the correspondence of wavelengths of absorbance maxima and with a series of statistical measures (the best test set median model parameters are in parentheses for Model II), including RMSE (0.064), R2 (0.71), and dynamic time warping (DTW, 0.194) of the entire spectrum curve. Scrambling molecule structures with experimental spectra during training resulted in a degraded R2, confirming the utility of the approaches for prediction. UV-adVISor is able to provide fast and accurate predictions for libraries of compounds.

A theoretical model of nonlinear standing waves in an oscillating cavity (1997)

A theoretical investigation of nonlinear standing waves in an acoustical resonator is presented. The motivation for this research stems from the new technology of resonant macrosonic synthesis (RMS) developed at MacroSonix. RMS creates high amplitude standing waves, e.g., overpressures in excess of 300% of ambient pressure. The analysis is based on a one-dimensional model equation for the velocity potential that is derived from the fundamental gas dynamics equations for an ideal gas. Nonlinearity, gas viscosity, and entire resonator driving are included. The resonator is assumed to be of an axisymmetric, but otherwise arbitrary, shape. Nonlinear spectral equations are integrated numerically for a two-point boundary-value problem. The harmonic amplitudes and phases of the velocity potential wave are obtained directly from the solution of the frequency-domain equations. The pressure wave shape, the harmonic amplitudes of the pressure wave, and harmonic amplitude distribution along the resonator axis are then calculated. Results are presented for three resonator geometries: a cylinder, a cone, and a bulb. Both hardening and softening behaviors are observed and shown to be geometry dependent. At high amplitude, hysteresis effects are present in the frequency-response curves. Comparisons between measured and calculated waveforms show good agreement.

Building Handwriting Recognizers by Leveraging Skeletons of Both Offline and Online Samples (2015)

We present an approach to leveraging both offline and online handwriting samples to build a single recognizer for recognizing both offline and online handwritings. Given a training set of offline handwriting samples and another set of online handwriting samples, a skeleton is derived first from each offline handwriting sample via vectorization. Then both the skeleton samples and online handwriting samples are normalized and rendered by using the same method to generate a combined training set of skeleton images. Finally a handwriting recognizer based on Deep Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (DBLSTM) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is built from the skeleton images. In recognition, a preprocessing step consistent with that in training is applied to an unknown offline or online handwriting sample to derive a skeleton image, which is recognized by the hybrid DBLSTM-HMM handwriting recognition system accordingly. We have built such a recognizer by using IAM benchmark databases of offline and online English handwritings plus an internal online handwriting corpus, which outperforms the recognizers built from either offline or online handwriting samples only.
Combined Analysis of all Three Phases of Solar Neutrino Data from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (2012)

We report results from a combined analysis of solar neutrino data from all phases of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory.By exploiting particle identification information obtained from the proportional counters installed during the third phase, this analysis improved background rejection in that phase of the experiment.The combined analysis resulted in a total flux of active neutrino flavors from 8 B decays in the Sun of (5.25 ± 0.16(stat.)+0.11 -0.13 (syst.))× 10 6 cm -2 s -1 .A two-flavor neutrino oscillation analysis yielded ∆m 2 21 = (5.6 +1.9 -1.4 ) × 10 -5 eV 2 and tan 2 θ12 = 0.427 +0.033 -0.029 .A three-flavor neutrino oscillation analysis combining this result with results of all other solar neutrino experiments and the KamLAND experiment yielded ∆m 2 21 = (7.41+0.21 -0.19 ) × 10 -5 eV 2 , tan 2 θ12 = 0.446 +0.030 -0.029 , and sin 2 θ13 = (2.5 +1.8 -1.5 ) × 10 -2 .This implied an upper bound of sin 2 θ13 < 0.053 at the 95% confidence level (C.L.).
Development of Measurement Method for Shape and Dimension of Micro-Components (2004)

In order to facilitate the advancement of micromachine technology and to encourage its use across a wider range of industrial fields, a measuring technology appears to be essential. For the development of micromachines and microfabrication technologies, it is necessary to devise a technique to measure both shape and dimensions of micro-components. Some researchs on measurement methods for micro-boreholes in the micrometer range have been reported. However, general-purpose coordinate measuring machine for both shape and dimensional metrology on micro-system components has not been realized yet. To this end, one of the authors attempted to develop a small three-dimensional shape measuring apparatus which has non-contact probe detecting proximity to the object being measured through the tunneling effect, and the results has already been reported. In this study, measurement of not only shape but also of dimensions of micro-components are attempted. A modified device and the calibration technique for micro-probes are explained in detail, and then several measurement results are shown.

Cultura política e desigualdade: o caso dos conselhos municipais de Curitiba (2003)

Este artigo estuda os membros dos principais conselhos gestores de políticas públicas no município de Curitiba (Conselho de Saúde, Conselho de Assistência Social, Conselho do Trabalho e Conselho da Criança e do Adolescente), no estado do Paraná. Observamos que os grupos analisados possuem, em relação à população brasileira em geral, maior quantidade de recursos de cultura política e, portanto, de incentivos ao ativismo político. Em seguida, discutimos duas questões teóricas relativas à "cultura política": primeiramente, analisamos o problema da relação de causalidade existente entre essas instituições e a cultura política dos seus membros: quanto a esse ponto, reconhecemos a importância dos efeitos institucionais sobre a cultura política dos indivíduos e, ao mesmo tempo, o papel ativo que fatores externos às instituições analisadas exercem sobre a intensidade desses efeitos. Em segundo lugar, seguindo uma direção alternativa àquela que predomina na literatura consagrada, analisamos a cultura política como um recurso desigualmente distribuído entre os grupos que compõem as instituições analisadas e que, portanto, pode ser pensada como uma das bases da desigualdade política.

Verbal Communication using Intracortical Signals in a Completely Locked In-Patient (2020)

Abstract Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can lose all muscle-based routes of communication as motor neuron degeneration progresses, and ultimately, they may be left without any means of communication. While others have evaluated communication in people with remaining muscle control, to the best of our knowledge, it is not known whether neural-based communication remains possible in a completely locked-in state (CLIS). With consent and approval of the participant, family, and legal authority for this study, two 64 microelectrode arrays were implanted in the supplementary and primary motor cortex of a CLIS patient with ALS. The patient modulated neural firing rates based on auditory feedback, and he used this strategy to select letters one at a time to form words and phrases to communicate his needs and experiences. This case study provides novel evidence that brain-based volitional communication is possible even in a completely locked-in state.
Percutaneous Endocardial and Epicardial Ablation of Hypotensive Ventricular Tachycardia with Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist in the Electrophysiology Laboratory (2006)

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) in the setting of structural heart disease is challenging to treat with percutaneous catheter ablation due to the presence of complex substrate, multiple morphologies, hemodynamic instability, and epicardial circuits. When substrate-based approaches fail, however, it may be impossible to map and ablate hemodynamically unstable arrhythmias. We describe a novel approach to endocardial and epicardial mapping and ablation of hypotensive VT using a percutaneous left ventricular assist device in the electrophysiology laboratory, permitting near-surgical access to cardiac structures.
