Active learning for relation type extension with local and global data views (2012)

Relation extraction is the process of identifying instances of specified types of semantic relations in text; relation type extension involves extending a relation extraction system to recognize a new type of relation. We present LGCo-Testing, an active learning system for relation type extension based on local and global views of relation instances. Locally, we extract features from the sentence that contains the instance. Globally, we measure the distributional similarity between instances from a 2 billion token corpus. Evaluation on the ACE 2004 corpus shows that LGCo-Testing can reduce annotation cost by 97% while maintaining the performance level of supervised learning.

Engineering aspects of multi-valued logic systems (1974)

We live in a binary world of computers, accepting the inevitability of dealing with strings of O's and l's, simply because this is dictated by the two-valued nature of switching primitives which make up the machines. Yet there is little doubt that most of us would prefer decimal machines if they were available. Present technology is unlikely to result in such machines in the near future, at least not the kind where basic building blocks are inherently 10-valued. However, this does not mean that the binary approach must continue to be the only alternative. Considerable advantages may be gained by considering higher-radix systems, even if decimal schemes are presently out of reach.
Top Management Team Shared Leadership, Market-Oriented Culture, Innovation Capability, and Firm Performance (2019)

What drives performance of small- and medium-sized enterprises remains largely unanswered and this article is an attempt in that direction to fill in the gap and help evolve the body of knowledge. The article is designed to produce theoretical insights on how top management team (TMT) sharing leadership, market culture, and firm innovation capability, relates to firm performance. Drawing on the resource-based and the dynamic capabilities-based view, we propose that firm innovation capability mediates between the linkages of shared leadership and market-oriented culture with firm performance. In this article, we performe structural equation modeling on survey data collected from 336 small- and medium-sized enterprises in the United Arab Emirates to examine the proposed hypothesized model of the study. The results reveal that both shared leadership and market-oriented culture have positive effects on firm innovation capability. This article suggests that market-oriented culture mediates the relationships of TMT-shared leadership and firm innovation capability. Similarly, firm innovation capability mediates the influence of market-oriented culture and firm performance, and the influence of TMT-shared leadership and firm performance. This article contributes to advance theory and practices. This article also makes sound theoretical and practical contributions to the usage of the resource-based and the dynamic capabilities view in the domain of the small- and medium-sized enterprises.
Intestinal fuels: glutamine, short-chain fatty acids, and dietary fiber. (1992)

In recent years, considerable research has focused on the physiologic effects and clinical uses of three dietary constituents thought to be trophic to the intestinal tract in human beings: glutamine, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and dietary fiber. Glutamine is an important nitrogen-carrying amino acid that may be "conditionally essential" in certain disease states to support the gut barrier and immune function and overall protein use. Colonic irrigations with SCFA preparations have demonstrated enhanced healing of bowel tissue in animals and human beings. Dietary fiber supports bacterial SCFA production, normal stool output, and the gut barrier and immune function. However, optimal fiber doses for various medical conditions are not known, and the risk for gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction, diarrhea, gas, and bloating necessitates careful selection of patients and daily monitoring of fiber tolerance. A review of the current literature indicates that widespread use of glutamine and SCFA additives parenterally and enterally awaits further evidence of safety and efficacy in human beings, establishment of appropriate doses, and advances in formulation technology. Administration of dietary fiber to enhance bowel motility should be considered in long-term tube-fed patients with intact GI function and sufficient fluid tolerance to permit hydration of fiber. Industrywide agreement on fiber analysis methods and labeling standards (eg, fiber fermentability vs solubility) would facilitate selection of enteral products. To streamline studies and optimize research efforts in future clinical trials, standard criteria for evaluating GI function, diarrheagenic factors, and intestinal outcome variables should be established.
Fistulation of The Hen's Oviduct (1960)

Since the turn of the century the technique of experimental activation of the oviduct by simulated yolks has been known. Pearl and Curtis (1914) made use of this technique in the study of physiology of egg formation and evidence was presented by them that an effective stimulus for oviduct secretion is mechanical. The belief that an adaptation of this technique could be useful in studies of genetics and fertility led to the first fistulation of the hen's oviduct to the author's knowledge. Oviducts fistulated in this laboratory have proven functional in repeated “synthetic” production of eggs. SURGICAL PROCEDURE Mature females are anesthetized with Halatal* (0.05 ml. per 100 gms. body weight). The feathers are removed from the left dorsolateral thoracic region, extending ventrally to the tip of the ribs and the skin in this area is swabbed with 70 percent ethyl alcohol. A fold of skin is lifted over the …
High-Permeance Room-Temperature Ionic-Liquid-Based Membranes for CO<sub>2</sub>/N<sub>2</sub> Separation (2014)

We have developed and fabricated thin-film composite (TFC) membranes with an active layer consisting of a room-temperature ionic liquid/polymerized (room-temperature ionic liquid) [i.e., (RTIL)/poly(RTIL)] composite material. The resulting membrane has a CO2 permeance of 6100 ± 400 GPU (where 1 GPU = 10–6 cm3/(cm2 s cmHg)) and an ideal CO2/N2 selectivity of 22 ± 2. This represents a new membrane with state-of-the-art CO2 permeance and good CO2/N2 selectivity. To our knowledge, this is the first example of a TFC gas separation membrane composed of an RTIL-containing active layer.
An ASIC supporting external clock synchronization for distributed real-time systems (2002)

Designing clock synchronization algorithms for distributed real-time systems based on packet networks requires to decide on the amount and functionality of proper hardware support. Targeting a 1 /spl mu/s precision and similar accuracy measures in case of external UTC supply from GPS-receivers, this paper describes pertinent features of a peripheral device called UTCSU manufactured as an ASIC. The most salient one is the introduction of an adder-based clock, that allows a fine grained rate adjustment, continuous amortization, and maintenance of local accuracy intervals.
A Feature-Scaling-Based <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$k$</tex-math> </inline-formula>-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm for Indoor Positioning Systems (2015)

With the increasing popularity of WLAN infrastructure, WiFi fingerprint-based indoor positioning systems have received considerable attention recently. Much existing work in this aspect adopts classification techniques that match a vector of radio signal strengths (RSSs) reported by a mobile station (MS) to pretrained reference fingerprints sampled from different access points (APs) at different reference points (RPs) with known positions. However, in the calculation of signal distances between different RSS vectors, existing techniques fail to consider the fact that equal RSS differences at different RSS levels may not mean equal differences in geometrical distances in complex indoor environment. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a feature-scaling-based k-nearest neighbor (FS-kNN) algorithm for achieving improved localization accuracy. In FS-kNN, we build a novel RSS-level-based FS model, which introduces RSS-level-based scaling weights in the computation of effective signal distances between signal vector reported by a MS and reference fingerprints in a radio map. Experimental results show that FS-kNN can achieve an average location error as low as 1.70 m, which is superior to existing work.
A broadband horizontally polarised omnidirectional antenna with stable radiation patterns (2019)

A broadband horizontally polarised omnidirectional antenna (HPOA) with stable radiation patterns is proposed. The antenna is composed of two orthogonal broadband HPOA units fed by a wideband power divider. Each HPOA consists of four modified Vivaldi antennas fed by a 1‐to‐4‐way wideband power divider. The four Vivaldi antennas are etched on a circular substrate. The proposed antenna is simulated and discussed. Simulation results demonstrate that the designed antenna obtains a bandwidth of 88.9% from 2.5 to 6.5 GHz with reflection coefficients less than −10 dB, and the antenna gains are higher than 2 dBi in the whole frequency band. The antenna shows omnidirectional radiation feature with ripples less than 4.8 dB in the horizontal plane. The proposed antenna is suitable for 4G‐LTE and 5G communication systems.

An extrachromosomal switch recombination substrate reveals kinetics and substrate requirements of switch recombination in primary murine B cells (1999)

Ig class switch recombination occurs in B lymphocytes upon activation, and is targeted to distinct switch (S) regions by cytokine-mediated induction of switch transcripts spanning the entire S region and the adjacent constant region gene segments. Using a novel type of switch recombination substrate, constructed according to the intron-exon structure of the IgH locus, but with heterologous elements, we here have tested the structural requirements for targeting and the kinetics of switch recombination in activated primary murine B cells. When transfected at various times after activation, up to 10% of the transfected B cells perform recombination of the substrate within 12 h. Switch recombination in primary B cells is restricted to the first 72 h after onset of activation, then rapidly decreases to background levels, as obtained in plasmacytoma cells or with substrates carrying no S region sequences. In terms of structural requirements, switch recombination is targeted to any transcription unit that contains an intronic S region and depends on processing of the primary transcript by splicing.
Performance Evaluation of HSDPA Mobility for Voice Over IP (2007)

In this paper we evaluate the performance of the serving HS-DSCH cell change procedure for delay sensitive services, like voice over IP (VoIP). The impact of the signaling procedure delay on the user plane performance is studied by means of dynamic system simulations. The simulation results show that within the studied range, the duration of the signaling procedure starts to impact performance only for terminals moving 50 km/h, or faster. Parameter tuning and combining the procedures for active set update and change of best HS cell can considerably improve the performance, so that even at 120 km/h, less than 2% of the handovers suffer interruptions longer than 100 ms. Thus, the HSDPA handover procedure in Rel-6 can be made fast enough to accommodate VoIP users traveling at 120 km/h with acceptable conversation quality.
LOCST: A Built-In Self-Test Technique (1984)

A built-in self-test technique utilizing on-chip pseudorandom-pattern generation, on-chip signature analysis, a ``boundary scan'' feature, and an on-chip monitor test controller has been implemented on three VLSI chips by the IBM Federal Systems Division. This method (designated LSSD on-chip self-test, or LOCST) uses existing level-sensitive scan design strings to serially scan random test patterns to the chip's combinational logic and to collect test results. On-chip pseudorandom-pattern generation and signature analysis compression are provided via existing latches, which are configured into linear-feedback shift registers during the self-test operation. The LOCST technique is controlled through the on-chip monitor, IBM FSD's standard VLSI test interface/controller. Boundary scan latches are provided on all primary inputs and primary outputs to maximize self-test effectiveness and to facilitate chip I/O testing. Stuck-fault simulation using statistical fault analysis was used to evaluate test coverage effectiveness. Total test coverage values of 81.5, 85.3, and 88.6 percent were achieved for the three chips with less than 5000 random-pattern sequences. Outstanding test coverage (≫97%) was achieved for the interior logic of the chips. The advantages of this technique, namely very low hardware overhead cost (≪2%), design-independent implementation, and effective static testing, make LOCST an attractive and powerful technique.
Enzyme Electrodes (1973)

From the discussion of electrodes and enzymes herein, and from the accounts of enzyme electrodes that have appeared in the literature, clinical determinations of certain metabolites and soluble enzymes by means of enzyme electrodes seem quite feasible. Such devices may be made highly specific by the use of appropriate enzymes and a high degree of accuracy can be obtained. Instantaneous and continuous determinations can be made from physiological fluids, and undesirable physiologic responses can theoretically be minimized, thus making long-term clinical monitoring a possibility. Enzyme electrodes may also have a useful lifetime and meet other practical requirements.
11.6 GHz 1:4 demultiplexer with bit-rotation control and 6.1 GHz auto-latching phase-aligner ICs (2003)

A 1:4 demultiplexer is reported which includes the following features: (1) output data unstaggered in time; (2) input clock with frequency equal to the input data bit rate; (3) bit pattern alignment capability; and (4) only the phases of input data and input clock aligned externally. The device uses a simple bit alignment scheme requiring only one external control signal. The demux and phase aligner use AlGaAs/GaAs HBT (heterojunction bipolar transistor) technology featuring emitter-up/single-heterojunction bipolar transistors, monolithically integrated Schottky diodes, NiCr thin-film resistors, MIM capacitors, and up to three levels of metal interconnect.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Density Clustering Based On Radius Of Data (Dcbrd) (2008)

Clustering algorithms are attractive for the task of class identification in spatial databases. However, the application to large spatial databases rises the following requirements for clustering algorithms: minimal requirements of domain knowledge to determine the input parameters, discovery of clusters with arbitrary shape and good efficiency on large databases. The well-known clustering algorithms offer no solution to the combination of these requirements. In this paper, a density based clustering algorithm (DCBRD) is presented, relying on a knowledge acquired from the data by dividing the data space into overlapped regions. The proposed algorithm discovers arbitrary shaped clusters, requires no input parameters and uses the same definitions of DBSCAN algorithm. We performed an experimental evaluation of the effectiveness and efficiency of it, and compared this results with that of DBSCAN. The results of our experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is significantly efficient in discovering clusters of arbitrary shape and size.

Synthesis, characterization, and application of composite alginate microspheres with magnetic and fluorescent functionalities (2009)

Abstract Composite alginate microspheres were synthesized via a modified emulsification technique and characterized by inverted optical microscope, transmission electron microscope, ζ‐potential analyzer, UV–vis spectrophotometer, luminescence spectrometer, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results show that the synthetic parameters including the weight ratio of maghemite nanoparticles to alginate, hydrophile‐lipophile balance (HLB) value, stirring speed, and CaCl 2 dripping rate play important roles in the synthesis of microspheres. Furthermore, the composite alginate microspheres exhibit good superparamagnetism and fluorescence, which can serve both as magnetic resonance contrast agents and optical probes for biological imaging. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cloning, characterization and expression of complete coding sequences of three IgE binding <i>Malassezia furfur</i> allergens, Mal f 7, Mal f 8 and Mal f 9 (2000)

Malassezia furfur, formerly known as Pityrosporum orbiculare or P. ovale, is a yeast that colonizes human skin. Normally, this yeast is nonpathogenic but under the influence of predisposing factors it may induce IgE reactivity in patients with atopic dermatitis. Approximately 40-65% of atopic dermatitis patients have IgE antibodies and/or skin reactivity against M. furfur and a higher T-cell response against this yeast is found in atopic dermatitis patients than in healthy individuals. By making a cDNA library displayed on a phage surface, we previously cloned five different IgE-binding proteins, Mal f 5, Mal f 6, MF 7, MF 8 and MF 9, from this yeast. The cDNAs encoding these allergens were sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli. The sequences of MF 7, MF 8 and MF 9 were not full length (missing their 5'-ends) giving only partial gene products. To obtain complete cDNA sequences, we performed RACE-PCR to amplify the 5'-ends of each cDNA. These PCR products were sequenced and analyzed. The coding sequences of Mal f 7, Mal f 8 and Mal f 9 encode proteins with ORFs of 141 (16.2 kDa), 179 (19.2 kDa) and 126 (14.0 kDa) amino-acid residues, respectively. None of the putative proteins showed significant sequence homology with other known proteins in the searched database. The proteins encoded by the complete cDNA sequences were expressed in E. coli as recombinant proteins. Immunoblotting and radioallergosorbant test data showed that all of the expressed recombinant proteins have the ability to bind serum IgE from atopic dermatitis patients and furthermore, the M. furfur extract could specifically inhibit this IgE binding.

Isolation and Characterization of <i>rpoS</i> from a Pathogenic Bacterium, <i>Vibrio vulnificus</i> : Role of σ <sup>S</sup> in Survival of Exponential-Phase Cells under Oxidative Stress (2004)

A gene homologous to rpoS was cloned from a fatal human pathogen, Vibrio vulnificus. The functional role of rpoS in V. vulnificus was accessed by using an rpoS knockout mutant strain. This mutant was impaired in terms of the ability to survive under oxidative stress, nutrient starvation, UV irradiation, or acidic conditions. The increased susceptibility of the V. vulnificus mutant in the exponential phase to H2O2 was attributed to the reduced activity of hydroperoxidase I (HPI). Although sigmaS synthesis was induced and HPI activity reached the maximal level in the stationary phase, the mutant in the stationary phase showed the same susceptibility to H2O2 as the wild-type strain in the stationary phase. In addition, HPII activity, which is known to be controlled by sigmaS in Escherichia coli, was not detectable in V. vulnificus strains under the conditions tested. The mutant in the exponential phase complemented with multiple copies of either the rpoS or katG gene of V. vulnificus recovered both resistance to H2O2 and HPI activity compared with the control strain. Expression of the katG gene encoding HPI in V. vulnificus was monitored by using a katG::luxAB transcriptional fusion. The expression of this gene was significantly reduced by deletion of sigmaS in both the early exponential and late stationary phases. Thus, sigmaS is necessary for increased synthesis and activity of HPI, and sigmaS is required for exponentially growing V. vulnificus to develop the ability to survive in the presence of H2O2.
台湾的企业家、国家与跨国公司(续) (1986)

虽然当前的趋势是独资子公司,但大多数日本在台投资,特别是其产品以台湾为市场的,都是和本地企业家联合经营的。日本合伙人的资本参与可能较低,但他们一般都在契约中保留对自己资本的控制权,并通过从设在日本的母公司进口设备和原料来作为新投资,鉴于日台间的紧张关系,拥有本地的合伙人在政治上也是明智的。大商号有能力引进他们的资本,而小企业只得在各方面依靠庞大的日本贸易总公司(综合商社)。
