<title>PCI-based WILDFIRE reconfigurable computing engines</title> (1996)

WILDFORCE is the first PCI-based custom reconfigurable computer that is based on the Splash 2 technology transferred from the National Security Agency and the Institute for Defense Analyses, Supercomputing Research Center (SRC). The WILDFORCE architecture has many of the features of the WILDFIRE computer, such as field- programmable gate array (FPGA) based processing elements, linear array and crossbar interconnection, and high- performance memory and I/O subsystems. New features introduced in the PCI-based WILDFIRE systems include memory/processor options that can be added to any processing element. These options include static and dynamic memory, digital signal processors (DSPs), FPGAs, and microprocessors. In addition to memory/processor options, many different application specific connectors can be used to extend the I/O capabilities of the system, including systolic I/O, camera input and video display output. This paper also discusses how this new PCI-based reconfigurable computing engine is used for rapid-prototyping, real-time video processing and other DSP applications.
Voronoi-based region approximation for geographical information retrieval with gazetteers (2001)

Gazeteers and geographical thesauri can be regarded as parsimonious spatial models that associate geographical location with place names and encode some semantic relations between the names. They are of particular value in processing information retrieval requests in which the user employs place names to specify geographical context. Typically the geometric locational data in a gazetteer are con ned to a simple footprint in the form of a centroid or a minimum bounding rectangle, both of which can be used to link to a map but are of limited value in determining spatial relationships. Here we describe a Voronoi diagram method for generating approximate regional extents from sets of centroids that are respectively inside and external to a region. The resulting approximations provide measures of areal extent and can be used to assist in answering geographical queries by evaluating spatial relationships such as distance, direction and common boundary length. Preliminary experimental evaluations of the method have been performed in the context of a semantic modelling system that combines the centroid data with hierarchical and adjacency relations between the associated place names.
Toward an integrated CAD assembly sequence planning solution (2014)

Assembly sequence planning has drawn the attention of many researchers over the last years. Despite, the great development of CAD software in many aspects (simulation algorithms, interfaces, and ergonomics), automatic generation of assembly sequence planning from CAD assembly remains an issue to improve especially with the increasing complexity of industrial products. In this paper, an approach of assembly sequence planning generation from a CAD assembly model is presented. In order to generate feasible assembly sequence planning, the developed approach begins with the exploration of CAD assembly. Then, a collision analysis is performed to identify all possible obstacles during the components’ motion. An example of CAD assembly is presented in all sections of this paper in order to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.
Fine estimators of two-dimensional parameters and application to spatial shift estimation (1999)

This paper presents a fast technique for fine estimation of two-dimensional (2-D) parameters, based on a parabolic interpolation of the same ambiguity function samples, and aimed at block-oriented estimation of the spatial shift between pairs of images in video sequences. Expressions for the bias and variance of the position error and the prediction error are derived. The method is tested using a synthetically generated autocorrelation function, varying the directionality and the eccentricity factor, in order to compare the performance of the proposed 2-D estimator to the case of two separate one-dimensional (1-D) estimators. The method has also been applied in vision systems, evidencing encouraging results for estimating the parameters of sophisticated global motion models from real images.
Sensible and latent heat flux predictions using conditional sampling methods (1994)

The conditional sampling formulation typically used in eddy accumulation flux measurements was tested at two sites using velocity, temperature, and specific humidity time series measurements. The first site was at Owen's Lake in southern California, and the second site was an irrigated bare soil field at the Campbell Tract facility in Davis, California. The constant β relating the turbulent flux to the accumulated concentration difference between updrafts and downdrafts was related to the statistics of the vertical velocity. It was found that this formulation for β reproduces the extreme fluxes (both sensible and latent heat) better than previous β formulations. The overall comparison between eddy correlation measured fluxes and conditional sampling predicted fluxes for a wide range of atmospheric stability conditions was excellent ( R 2 = 0.97). On average, the mean β obtained from our experiments for temperature and water vapor is in good agreement (±4%) with other reported β values for carbon dioxide, water vapor, ozone, and temperature. These results suggest that the conditional sampling formulation used in eddy accumulation methods is useful for routine flux measurements of passive greenhouse gases.
The perindopril in elderly people with chronic heart failure (PEP-CHF) study (2006)

Uncertainty remains about the effects of perindopril on long-term morbidity and mortality in this clinical setting since this study had insufficient power for its primary endpoint. However, improved symptoms and exercise capacity and fewer hospitalizations for heart failure in the first year were observed on perindopril, during which most patients were on assigned therapy, suggesting that it may be of benefit in this patient population.
Newly cleaned physician uniforms and infrequently washed white coats have similar rates of bacterial contamination after an 8‐hour workday: A randomized controlled trial (2011)

Bacterial contamination occurs within hours after donning newly laundered short-sleeved uniforms. After 8 hours of wear, no difference was observed in the degree of contamination of uniforms versus infrequently laundered white coats. Our data do not support discarding long-sleeved white coats for short-sleeved uniforms that are changed on a daily basis.

AGENTS AFFECTING LIPID METABOLISM: XIII. THE SYNTHESIS OF 1,4-DISUBSTITUTED BICYCLO[2.2.2]OCTANE DERIVATIVES (1964)

Several routes to the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted bicyclo[2.2.2]octanes have been explored and the syntheses of several such derivatives are reported. The 1,4-disubstituted bicyclo[2.2.2]-octane nucleus could not be prepared through an elimination reaction on a corresponding 2,5-disubstituted derivative or by the Diels–Alder reaction of various dienophiles with dimethyl 1,3-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dicarboxylate.Unusual products are obtained from the reaction of tetracyanoethylene with dimethyl terephthalate and with 1,3-cyclohexadienes containing electron-attracting groups in the 1,4-positions. Some spectral properties of these compounds are described.
Composition of Essential Oil of<i>Brassica juncea</i>(L.) Coss. from China (1999)

Abstract The hydrolytic conditions of thioglucosides (TGD), which are the precursors of the essential oil of Brassica juncea(L.) Coss., and the effects of time, temperature, pH and ascorbic acid added on the hydrolysis of TGD were determinated. The optimum hydrolytic conditions for the essential oil production from TGD in B. juncea are time, 120 min; temperature, 70°C; pH, 4.5; and ascorbic acid, 0.02 mg/g. The oil was analyzed by GG/MS. Fourteen components were identified, representing 85.9% of the oil. The main components found in the oil were allyl isothiocyanate (43.8%), 3-methylthiopropyl isothiocyanate (9.4%), 3-butenyl isothiocyanate (4.8%), butyl isothiocyanate (4.7%), phenyl isothiocyanate (3.7%) and 2-phenylethyl isothiocyanate (3.7%).
High performance synchronous DRAMs controller in H.264 HDTV (2005)

This paper proposes a high efficiency memory controller for an H.264 HDTV decoder with synchronous DRAMs. As H.264 adopts tree structured (supports small block size) motion compensation, the bandwidth requirement of an H.264 HDTV decoder is higher than previous video processing algorithms. This requires to be optimized. Based on H.264 decoding data access behavior analysis, an SDRAM controller with new memory mapping method has been designed to reduce the overhead cycles of page-activation. Experiment results indicate that the new controller has improved by one-third the performance of the bus cycles. In addition, the architecture of the controller has also given low power consumption and less complexity in the VLSI design.
Spatio-Temporal approaches to computation of optical flow (1997)

Spatio-temporal extensions to the classical optical flow technique are presented. A novel optical flow estimator is derived capable of incorporating spatio-temporal motion models by iteratively refining initial motion estimates. These initial estimates may be derived from motion in previous frames using a spatio-temporal processing architecture, or from block matching or feature matching techniques. By incorporating spatio-temporal motion models with explicit temporal components, a single set of motion parameters can describe potentially curved pixel trajectories over a sequence of frames. In addition, given approximate initial estimates, the method can handle arbitrarily large visual velocities without recourse to multi-resolution techniques. Results are given showing that the latter method can recover complex motions that purely spatial methods cannot. Finally, an outline is given of applications of the spatio-temporal motion model in the fields of cinematography and video compressio...
Halothane Anesthetic Requirements Are Not Affected by Aminophylline Treatment in Rats and Dogs (1986)

The authors determined the effects of aminophylline on the anesthetic requirements for halothane in rats and dogs. MAC for halothane was determined in rats (n = 24) before and after aminophylline, 100 mg X kg-1 ip, or an equal volume of saline. Because changes in central noradrenergic neurotransmission have been linked to drug-induced changes in the depth of the anesthetic state, we investigated the effect of aminophylline on the turnover of norepinephrine in discrete brain regions of halothane-anesthetized rats. To facilitate testing at steady-state aminophylline conditions and to permit frequent blood sampling, halothane MAC was determined in dogs (n = 7) before and after a therapeutic level of aminophylline (15 +/- 2 micrograms X ml-1) was obtained. Neither in the rats (1.0 vs. 1.0%) nor in the dogs (1.04 +/- 0.14 vs. 1.01 +/- 0.14%) was halothane MAC affected by aminophylline treatment. Commensurate with the lack of change of anesthetic depth, aminophylline treatment did not affect noradrenergic neurotransmission in the brain of halothane-anesthetized rats. Furthermore, the anticipated increase in circulating catecholamines following aminophylline treatment in dogs did not materialize. The authors conclude that halothane anesthetic requirements are not altered by aminophylline treatment, possibly because of the attenuation of the putative sympathomimetic effects of aminophylline by halothane.

The role of inhibitory phosphorylation of CDC2 following DNA replication block and radiation-induced damage in human cells. (1997)

It has been suggested that the survival response of p53 defective tumor cells to agents that inhibit DNA replication or damage DNA may be largely dependent on cell cycle checkpoints that regulate the onset of mitosis. In human cells, the mitosis-inducing kinase CDC2/cyclin B is inhibited by phosphorylation of threonine-14 and tyrosine-15, but the roles of these phosphorylations in enforcing checkpoints is not known. We have investigated the situation in a human cervical carcinoma cell line (HeLa cells) and found that low level expression of a mutant nonphosphorylatable form of CDC2 abrogates regulation of the endogenous CDC2/cyclin B. Disruption of this pathway is toxic and renders cells highly sensitive to killing by DNA damage or by inhibition of DNA replication. These findings establish the importance of inhibitory phosphorylation of CDC2 in the survival mechanism used by human cells when exposed to some of the most common forms of anticancer therapy.
Trellis codes, receptive fields, and fault tolerant, self-repairing neural networks (1990)

Relationships between locally interconnected neural networks that use receptive field representations and trellis or convolutional codes are explored. A fault tolerant neural network is described. It is patterned after the trellis graph description of convolutional codes and is able to tolerate errors in its inputs and failures of constituent neurons. This network incorporates learning, which adds failure tolerance; the network is able to modify its connection weights an internal representation so that spare neurons can replace neurons which fail. A brief review of trellis-coding concepts is included.
Activation of the GLP-1 Receptor by Liraglutide Increases ACE2 Expression, Reversing Right Ventricle Hypertrophy, and Improving the Production of SP-A and SP-B in the Lungs of Type 1 Diabetes Rats (2015)

Diabetes alters microvascular function in the vascular beds of organs, including the lungs. Cardiovascular complications of pulmonary vascular affectation may be a consequence of the overactivation of the vasoconstrictive and proliferative components of the renin-angiotensin system. We previously reported that pulmonary physiology and surfactant production is improved by the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist liraglutide (LIR) in a rat model of lung hypoplasia. Because we hypothesized that streptozotocin-induced diabetes rats would show deficiencies in lung function, including surfactant proteins, and develop an imbalance of the renin-angiotensin system in the lungs. This effect would in turn be prevented by long-acting agonists of the GLP-1R, such as LIR. The induction of diabetes reduced the surfactant protein A and B in the lungs and caused the vasoconstrictor component of the renin-angiotensin system to predominate, which in turn increased angiotensin II levels, and ultimately being associated with right ventricle hypertrophy. LIR restored surfactant protein levels and reversed the imbalance in the renin-angiotensin system in this type 1 diabetes mellitus rat model. Moreover, LIR provoked a strong increase in angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 expression in the lungs of both diabetic and control rats, and in the circulating angiotensin(1-7) in diabetic animals. These effects prompted complete reversion of right ventricle hypertrophy. The consequences of LIR administration were independent of glycemic control and of glucocorticoids, and they involved NK2 homeobox 1 signaling. This study demonstrates by first time that GLP-1R agonists, such as LIR, might improve the cardiopulmonary complications associated with diabetes.
Guanabenz and methyldopa on hypertension and cardiac performance (1977)

In previous placebo-controlled studies, guanabenz was shown to be a safe and effective antihypertensive drug without acute effects on cardiac function. In view of its therapeutic advantages, a double-blind comparison of guanabenz with methyldopa was performed in a group of 36 patients over 6 mo. Both drugs produced statistically and clinically significant decreases in blood pressure with similar side effects. No laboratory or electrocardiographic abnormalities were found other than positive Coombs' tests which developed in 3 patients during methyldopa therapy. Cardiac performance in 26 of the patients, as measured by noninvasive techniques, showed no significant changes from either drug except for a progressive and statistically significant increase in systolic time interval (QS2) and the ratio of the pre-ejection period to left ventricular ejection time (PEP/LVET) during methyldopa therapy. For an additional 6 mo, continued efficacy and safety were shown under open conditions in those patients who had received guanabenz. The study suggests that guanabenz may be an important new antihypertensive drug because of effectiveness, absence of adverse cardiac effects, and paucity of side effects.

Design of Observers for Positive Systems With Delayed Input and Output Information (2019)

This brief is concerned with a new problem of synthesizing linear functional observers for positive systems subject to input and output delays. Without instantaneous information, the synthesized functional observers exclusively use delayed input and output measurements to estimate the functional state vector. The designed observers of the same order as the functional state vector are guaranteed nonnegative and stable. Furthermore, conditions for the establishment of the linear positive functional observers are formulated in terms of convex programming. Numerical examples are carried out to demonstrate the proposed design method.

An Automated Procedure for the Simultaneous Determination of Calcium and Phosphorus (1964)

Abstract A completely automated method for the simultaneous or individual determination of calcium and phosphorus in serum and urine without preliminary sample treatment is reported. Separation of calcium and phosphorus from interfering materials is achieved by dialysis under acid conditions. The dialyzed calcium is determined colorimetrically using a metal complexing dye (cresolphthalein complexone) in an alkaline medium. Magnesium, phosphate, citrate, sulfate, etc., did not introduce significant errors under the test conditions. Inorganic phosphorus is determined by a modified Fiske-SubbaRow procedure. Reproducibility and recovery data as well as comparisons with manual methods are presented.
