Determining the similarity of deformable shapes (1998)

Determining the similarity of two shapes is a significant task in both machine and human vision systems that must recognize or classify objects. The exact properties of human shape similarity judgements are not well understood yet, and this task is particularly difficult in domains where the shapes are not related by rigid transformation. In this paper we identify a number of possibly desirable properties of a shape similarity method, and determine the extent to which these properties can be captured by approaches that compare local properties of the contours of the shapes, through elastic matching. Special attention is devoted to objects that possess articulations, i.e. articulated parts. Elastic matching evaluates the similarity of two shapes as the sum of local deformations needed to change one shape into another. We show that similarities of part structure can be captured by such an approach, without the explicit computation of part structure. This may be of importance, since although parts appear to play a significant role in visual recognition, it is difficult to stably determine part structure. We also show novel results about how one can evaluate smooth and polyhedral shapes with the same method. Finally, we describe shape similarity effects that cannot be handled by current approaches.
Near Neutral pH SCC Properties of Pipeline Steels of Grade X80 and X52 (2011)

Abstract In this study, the susceptibility of grade X80 pipeline steels to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) was investigated under near-neutral pH conditions and compared to that of grade X52 steel. Two grades of X80 were manufactured using the Thermo-Mechanical Controlled Process, whereas one grade of X52 was produced through Controlled Rolling. SCC properties were evaluated by cyclic loading tensile tests in NS4 solution that simulated a typical environment for SCC under cathodic protection. Grade X80 was found to have almost the same susceptibility to SCC as grade X52, when the former was tested under higher applied stress.
Lightweight Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) Profile (2023)

The goal of this document is to facilitate interoperability and
automation by profiling the Certificate Management Protocol (CMP)
version 2, the related Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF)
version 2, and the HTTP Transfer for the Certificate Management
Protocol. It specifies a subset of CMP and CRMF focusing on typical
use cases relevant for managing certificates of devices in many
industrial and IoT scenarios. To limit the overhead of certificate
management for more constrained devices only the most crucial types of
operations are specified as mandatory. To foster interoperability in
more complex scenarios, other types of operations are specified as
recommended or optional.
Self-Assembled Multicompartment Liquid Crystalline Lipid Carriers for Protein, Peptide, and Nucleic Acid Drug Delivery (2010)

Lipids and lipopolymers self-assembled into biocompatible nano- and mesostructured functional materials offer many potential applications in medicine and diagnostics. In this Account, we demonstrate how high-resolution structural investigations of bicontinuous cubic templates made from lyotropic thermosensitive liquid-crystalline (LC) materials have initiated the development of innovative lipidopolymeric self-assembled nanocarriers. Such structures have tunable nanochannel sizes, morphologies, and hierarchical inner organizations and provide potential vehicles for the predictable loading and release of therapeutic proteins, peptides, or nucleic acids. This Account shows that structural studies of swelling of bicontinuous cubic lipid/water phases are essential for overcoming the nanoscale constraints for encapsulation of large therapeutic molecules in multicompartment lipid carriers. For the systems described here, we have employed time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and high-resolution freeze-fracture electronic microscopy (FF-EM) to study the morphology and the dynamic topological transitions of these nanostructured multicomponent amphiphilic assemblies. Quasi-elastic light scattering and circular dichroism spectroscopy can provide additional information at the nanoscale about the behavior of lipid/protein self-assemblies under conditions that approximate physiological hydration. We wanted to generalize these findings to control the stability and the hydration of the water nanochannels in liquid-crystalline lipid nanovehicles and confine therapeutic biomolecules within these structures. Therefore we analyzed the influence of amphiphilic and soluble additives (e.g. poly(ethylene glycol)monooleate (MO-PEG), octyl glucoside (OG), proteins) on the nanochannels' size in a diamond (D)-type bicontinuous cubic phase of the lipid glycerol monooleate (MO). At body temperature, we can stabilize long-living swollen states, corresponding to a diamond cubic phase with large water channels. Time-resolved X-ray diffraction (XRD) scans allowed us to detect metastable intermediate and coexisting structures and monitor the temperature-induced phase sequences of mixed systems containing glycerol monooleate, a soluble protein macromolecule, and an interfacial curvature modulating agent. These observed states correspond to the stages of the growth of the nanofluidic channel network. With the application of a thermal stimulus, the system becomes progressively more ordered into a double-diamond cubic lattice formed by a bicontinuous lipid membrane. High-resolution freeze-fracture electronic microscopy indicates that nanodomains are induced by the inclusion of proteins into nanopockets of the supramolecular cubosomic assemblies. These results contribute to the understanding of the structure and dynamics of functionalized self-assembled lipid nanosystems during stimuli-triggered LC phase transformations.

1009 Influence of Damage Density and Biaxial Load on Leakage Properties of CFRP Cross-ply Laminates (2006)

In this study, [0/0/90/90]_s and [0/90/0/90]_s laminates were used as stacking sequences of the CFRP cross-ply laminates. At first, these CFRP cross-ply laminates were subjected to biaxial loading with fixedd load ratio (1:1 or 1:1.5), and matrix crack developments were observed using ultrasonic C-scan. After that, leakage at each initial damage level was measured under low biaxial loading by helium leak detector. Through the test results, the influence of stacking sequences, load ratio and damage density with increase of initial damage level on leakage properties was studied.
Wavelet packets with uniform time-frequency localization (2002)

Directional-Coupled Optical Switch between Stacked Waveguide Layers Using Electro-Optic Polymer (1992)

A vertical optical switch consisting of an electro-optic polymer is described. Two-layer stacked slab waveguides were fabricated with para-nitroaniline-bonded epoxy polymer as the core layer and polyvinylalcohol as the cladding layer. After poling treatment, a He-Ne laser beam was coupled to the waveguides, and guided-wave switching was observed between the two waveguide layers with application of voltage to the electrodes.
Orientation Tuning and Contrast Dependence of Continuous Flash Suppression in Amblyopia and Normal Vision (2018)

Our data revealed that orientation specificity in CFS was very broad or absent in some patients with amblyopia, which could not be predicted by clinical measures. Suppression was unbalanced across the entire contrast range for most patients. This suggests that abnormal early visual experience disrupts the development of interocular suppression mechanisms.
Health of the foreign-born population: United States, 1989-90. (1994)

The health status of immigrants is of vital interest to health policy planners as the number of immigrants in the United States increases. This report has shown that, overall, foreign-born persons had better health than the U.S.-born population, although this health advantage varied by length of residence in the United States. In virtually every measure of health status, and with regard to almost every sociodemographic characteristic, the most recent immigrants were healthier than foreign-born persons who have lived in the United States 10 years or more as well as healthier than the U.S.-born population. Immigrants who had lived in the United States 10 years or longer were generally healthier than U.S.-born adults, although the differences were not as striking as between recent immigrants and the native-born population. These findings may be explained in several ways. First, recent cohorts of immigrants may have been healthier than earlier cohorts of immigrants at the time of immigration. If so, as their duration of residence in the United States increases, they will continue to be significantly healthier than native-born persons. Second, earlier cohorts of immigrants may have been as healthy as recent cohorts at the time of immigration, but their health has deteriorated with increased duration of residence in the United States. This suggests that immigrants had or acquired physical conditions or behaviors that put them at risk in their new environment or that access to health care has been limited. It also suggests that more recent cohorts of immigrants could experience a similar deterioration of health as their duration of residence in the United States increases. Finally, these findings may reflect a combination of these influences or other factors not considered. To understand these patterns will require additional research, including comparative studies of the health of immigrants in the United States with the health of nonmigrants (stayers) in the countries of immigrant origin.
Systems and methods for autonomously controlling agricultural machinery (2023)

Systems and methods for autonomously controlling agricultural machinery such as a grain combine. The operation components of a combine that function to harvest the grain have characteristics that are measured by sensors. For example, the combine speed, the fan speed, and the like can be measured. An important sensor is the grain loss sensor, which may be used to quantify the amount of grain expelled out of the combine. The grain loss sensor utilizes the fluorescence properties of the grain kernels and the plant residue to identify when the expelled plant material contains grain kernels. The sensor data, in combination with historical and current data stored in a database, is used to identify optimum operating conditions that will result in increased crop yield. After the optimum operating conditions are identified, an on-board computer can generate control signals that will adjust the operation of the components identified in the optimum operating conditions. The changes result in less grain loss and improved grain yield. Also, because new data is continually generated by the sensor, the system has the ability to continually learn such that the efficiency of the agricultural machinery is continually improved.

Fabrication of a Waterborne Durable Superhydrophobic Material Functioning in Air and under Oil (2018)

Abstract A fundamental challenge in artificially structured/ chemically modified superhydrophobic surfaces is their poor chemical, mechanical, and structural robustness toward different mechanical abrasions. This limits their application potential in different fields of science and technology. Herein, a waterborne superhydrophobic material composed of clay particles is developed through a one‐pot chemical modification in ambient conditions, forming durable micro‐nano dual‐structured coatings over a range of substrates, without adhesive. This chemical modification inverts the inherent hydrophilic nature of clay particles and provides an excellent superhydrophobic surface having a water contact angle &gt;170° (±2°) and contact angle hysteresis &lt;5° (±2°). The coating shows excellent durability against various induced damages and works efficiently both in air and within oils. The observed property is due to the controlled surface energy obtained by the incorporated chemical functionalities and enhanced surface roughness facilitated by the hydrophobic effect during slow evaporation of water from the coating material. Being a stable water dispersion, it enables large area coatings, thereby minimizing safety and environmental concerns. Use of this material to develop rugged waterproof‐paper for paper‐based technologies is also demonstrated. As clay is commercially available and economical, it is believed, this scalable organic‐solvent‐free superhydrophobic material will have a positive impact on various industries.

Thermally Activated, Single Component Epoxy Systems (2011)

A single component epoxy system in which the resin and hardener components found in many two-component epoxies are combined onto the same molecule is described. The single molecule precursor to the epoxy resin contains both multiple epoxide moieties and a diamine held latent by thermally degradable carbamate linkages. These bis-carbamate “single molecule epoxies” have an essentially infinite shelf life and access a significant range in curing temperatures related to the structure of the carbamate linkages used.

Protein co-expression network analysis (ProCoNA) (2019)

Abstract Background Biological networks are important for elucidating disease etiology due to their ability to model complex high dimensional data and biological systems. Proteomics provides a critical data source for such models, but currently lacks robust de novo methods for network construction, which could bring important insights in systems biology. Results We have evaluated the construction of network models using methods derived from weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). We show that approximately scale-free peptide networks, composed of statistically significant modules, are feasible and biologically meaningful using two mouse lung experiments and one human plasma experiment. Within each network, peptides derived from the same protein are shown to have a statistically higher topological overlap and concordance in abundance, which is potentially important for inferring protein abundance. The module representatives, called eigenpeptides, correlate significantly with biological phenotypes. Furthermore, within modules, we find significant enrichment for biological function and known interactions (gene ontology and protein-protein interactions). Conclusions Biological networks are important tools in the analysis of complex systems. In this paper we evaluate the application of weighted co-expression network analysis to quantitative proteomics data. Protein co-expression networks allow novel approaches for biological interpretation, quality control, inference of protein abundance, a framework for potentially resolving degenerate peptide-protein mappings, and a biomarker signature discovery.

Effects of chronic ozone exposure on gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes and in Thellungiella halophila (2005)

Arabidopsis thaliana (At) ecotypes Columbia-0 (Col-0), Wassilewskija (WS), Cape Verde Islands (Cvi-0) and a relative, Thellungiella halophila (Th), were exposed to 20-25% over ambient ozone [O3] in a free air concentration enrichment (FACE) experiment (http://www.soyFACE. uiuc.edu), mirroring increases expected in the near future. Col-0 and WS accelerated development and developed lesions within 10 d under increased ozone, while Cvi-0 and Th grew slowly. RNAs were used in microarray hybridizations (Col-0-based 26 000 elements, 70-mer oligonucleotides). A two-step analysis of variance (ANOVA) model, including comparison with values obtained under [O3], was used for analyses. WS showed the greatest number of changes in gene expression in response to ozone. Th showed the least changes, suggesting that its expression state at [O3] was sufficient for resistance at increased ozone. Patterns observed in ambient air controls for Cvi-0 and Col-0 were most similar, while Th showed the greatest number of differences compared with the other controls. Compared with Col-0, however, Cvi-0 showed higher levels of expression of chaperones, receptor kinase-like and photosynthesis-related genes in ambient air. Cvi-0 exhibited ozone-mediated changes in a pathway involving AtSR, a homologue of the mammalian NF kappa B family of redox-sensitive transcription factors, changes in chaperones, WRKY and C2H2 proteins and antioxidants. WS displayed ozone-mediated decreases in the expression of two AtSR/NF kappa B family members, C2-domain proteins and genes associated with cell wall growth and changes in the expression of marker genes for programmed cell death (PCD), among them RCD1, a key regulator in this pathway. Microarray data were verified by reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR. We relate O3-response diversity across the four lines to different responses among signaling and transcriptional response networks and differences in gene expression at [O3] levels.
Efficient Decomposition of Image and Mesh Graphs by Lifted Multicuts (2015)

Formulations of the Image Decomposition Problem as a Multicut Problem (MP) w.r.t. a superpixel graph have received considerable attention. In contrast, instances of the MP w.r.t. a pixel grid graph have received little attention, firstly, because the MP is NP-hard and instances w.r.t. a pixel grid graph are hard to solve in practice, and, secondly, due to the lack of long-range terms in the objective function of the MP. We propose a generalization of the MP with long-range terms (LMP). We design and implement two efficient algorithms (primal feasible heuristics) for the MP and LMP which allow us to study instances of both problems w.r.t. the pixel grid graphs of the images in the BSDS-500 benchmark. The decompositions we obtain do not differ significantly from the state of the art, suggesting that the LMP is a competitive formulation of the Image Decomposition Problem. To demonstrate the generality of the LMP, we apply it also to the Mesh Decomposition Problem posed by the Princeton benchmark, obtaining state-of-the-art decompositions.
