FlexiWay: A cache energy saving technique using fine-grained cache reconfiguration (2013)

Recent trends of CMOS scaling and use of large last level caches (LLCs) have led to significant increase in the leakage energy consumption of LLCs and hence, managing their energy consumption has become extremely important in modern processor design. The conventional cache energy saving techniques require offline profiling or provide only coarse granularity of cache allocation. We present FlexiWay, a cache energy saving technique which uses dynamic cache reconfiguration. FlexiWay logically divides the cache sets into multiple (e.g. 16) modules and dynamically turns off suitable and possibly different number of cache ways in each module. FlexiWay has very small implementation overhead and it provides fine-grain cache allocation even with caches of typical associativity, e.g. an 8-way cache. Microarchitectural simulations have been performed using an x86-64 simulator and workloads from SPEC2006 suite. Also, FlexiWay has been compared with two conventional energy saving techniques. The results show that FlexiWay provides largest energy saving and incurs only small loss in performance. For single, dual and quad core systems, the average energy saving using FlexiWay are 26.2%, 25.7% and 22.4%, respectively.
Breakup of a liquid jet: Third perturbation Cosserat solution (1979)

The straightforward third perturbation solution is derived for a time harmonic disturbance applied at the nozzle. The problem formulation sets two boundary conditions at the nozzle and downstream radiation conditions. Numerical results are presented for parameters appropriate to ink-jet printers that show the jet radius near the breakup point. In a certain frequency range good quantitiative agreement with experiment is obtained for satellite drop behavior as regards forward or backward merging with the main drops.
A Dynamic Programming Heuristic for Optimizing Slot Sizes in a Warehouse (2014)

There exist a number of mathematical problems in the literature concerning warehouse storage optimization. However, to the best of our knowledge the problem of finding optimal slot sizes in pallet rack system minimizing the occupied storage space is not studied. More precisely, the problem is to optimally choose k of m pallet racks with pallets in a warehouse, find optimal slot sizes in pallet racks for these pallets, and reassign the pallets to the new slots in order to reduce the occupied space maximally. In this paper we suggest a dynamic programming heuristic which finds optimal slot sizes for the given number k of pallet racks in a warehouse. Our computational experiments are based on real-life data and demonstrate the efficiency of the suggested algorithm.
Isolation of Fungal Nucleic Acids (2003)

The last 10 years have witnessed a growing interest in fungal molecular biology and, in a number of systems, both DNA and RNA technologies have been applied to address various aspects of fungal biology. Consequently, considerable progress has been made in the use of molecular markers, i.e., restriction fragment length polymorphisms (1), fingerprints (2), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification profiles (3), amplified fragment length polymorphisms (4), and sequence data (5) for fungal systematics, phy-logeny, ecology, epidemiology and population dynamics (6,7). This has led to downstream applications such as the use of probes and primers for diagnosis of pathogenic and symbiotic fungi. Moreover, from a number of fungi, genes regulating development and differentiation processes have been isolated and are being characterized (8,9). Transformation—the ability to introduce the DNA of interest into a cell—has also been achieved with a number of fungi (10). These developments have opened up the possibility of genetic manipulations in fungi of agricultural and biotechnological importance.

Prognostic model for survival in patients with early stage cervical cancer (2010)

In patients with early stage cervical cancer, DSS can be predicted with a statistical model. Models, such as that presented here, should be used in clinical trials on the effects of adjuvant treatments in high-risk early cervical cancer patients, both to stratify and to include patients.
Single-Crystal-to-Single-Crystal Reactivity: Gray, Rather than Black or White (2010)

Single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) reactions are discussed as a specific case of solid-state reactions. Some shortcomings in the contemporary use of the term are revealed, and directions for research and interpretation of results are suggested.
Achiev in g power-law placement in wireless sensor netwo rks (2005)

One of the most important issues in sensor networks is to develop the technology for improved fault tolerance. From this viewpoint, the placement of sensor nodes is critical. To date, we have proposed stochastic node placements whose degrees of nodes follow a power-law ("power-law placement"). To demonstrate the effectiveness of power-law placement, we have to show that this placement has high fault tolerance and can be achieved with a reasonable degree of complexity and accuracy. In the first step of our research, we have shown that power-law placement with well-tuned parameters is more robust against failure than general stochastic node placement. In the second step to prove the effectiveness of power-law placement, we investigate ways of achieving power-law placement in this paper.

Collaborative Enterprise Applications Based on Business and Social Artifacts (2015)

This paper discusses how to design and develop collaborative enterprise applications using business and social artifacts. Business artifacts populate the business world (associated with business process management platforms) and allow to facilitate the communication between IT and non-IT practitioners over application requirements to satisfy, for example. And social artifacts populate the social world (associated with Web~2.0 applications) and abstract the online activities that are executed over Web~2.0 applications such as tagging photos. Both worlds are connected to each other through social machines that allow business artifacts to act upon Web~2.0 applications such as creating new social artifacts and checking on the statuses of existing social artifacts. A system that demonstrates business artifact and social artifact collaboration is also presented in this paper.
Cardiovascular Disease in Women—Challenges Deserving a Comprehensive Translational Approach (2009)

Heart disease in women is associated with high levels of morbidity and mortality. Although many of the underlying causes are similar for both genders, cardiovascular disease among women has some unique features, including higher coronary heart disease mortality, higher frequency of sudden cardiac death without previous symptoms, and increased mortality among older women compared to men following a myocardial infarction. During recent years, increasing efforts have been placed on identifying preventive measures, but translation of knowledge from epidemiological studies and clinical trials remain incomplete, particularly in women. The recent launch of the National Institutes of Health's Clinical and Translational Science Award program offers opportunities to address these gaps and represent a unique opportunity to foster a new generation of researchers familiar with important issues regarding women's cardiovascular health.
Scintillator Phosphors for Medical Imaging (1998)

Scintillators are high density luminescent materials that convert X-rays to visible light. These materials have been used since the turn of the century to dramatically enhance the sensitivity of film cartridges used in medical diagnostics. Coupling scintillators to photodiodes, charge coupled devices (CCDs), and photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) is an efficient way to convert X-rays to electrical signals.
CMOS 3D Hall probe for magnetic field measurement in MRI scanner (2012)

This paper presents a 3D Hall probe integrated in a 0.35μm CMOS technology and dedicated to the measurement of the magnetic field gradients in a MRI scanner. It features a 3D Hall device and three instrumentation chains which suppress the MRI main magnetic field and amplify dedicated magnetic field gradients. The unique relationship between the space coordinates in the scanner bore and the magnetic field gradients allows determining accurately the location of the Hall probe inside the bore. First experimental results show that the proposed 3D Hall probe could be used for a MRI tracking system with a sub-millimeter spatial resolution. It is a first step towards the instrumentation of MRI-compatible minimally-invasive surgical tools.
Active plasmonics: Current status (2009)

Techniques for active modulation and control of plasmonic signals in future highly-integrated nanophotonic devices have advanced rapidly in recent years, with recent innovations extending performance limits into the technologically relevant terahertz frequency and femtojoule-per-bit switching energy domains.
Microprocessor control system for maximum power operation of PV arrays (1999)

The proposed PV system consists of four subsystems; the PV array subsystem, the power conditioning subsystem, the control subsystem, and the DC load subsystem. Experimental realization of the proposed system is carried out. The control of the switching duty cycle of the used DC–DC converter is achieved through the 180° algorithm, where a conventional PI controller is used to provide the implemented system with the suitable control action. Experimental results are found to satisfactorily track the MPP of the PV array. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Identification of sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol as a major polar lipid in<i>Marinococcus halophilus</i>and<i>Salinicoccus hispanicus</i>and substitution with phosphatidylglycerol (2006)

The sulfonolipid sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol normally associated with photosynthetic membranes was identified as a major lipid in Marinococcus halophilus, Salinicoccus hispanicus ("Marinococcus hispanicus"), and Marinococcus sp. H8 (Planococcus sp. H8). Phosphatidylglycerol and 0%-10% cardiolipin accounted for the remaining polar lipids in these moderately halophilic, Gram-positive bacteria. Negative-ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry was used to quantify these three polar lipids from cells grown in media containing 0.03 to 4 mol NaCl/L. All strains revealed dramatic shifts in the ratio of sulfonolipid to phospholipid dependent on the salinity of the growth media, when grown in media with low phosphate content. Highest sulfonolipid content occurred during best growth in 0.5-2 mol NaCl/L, approaching 80%-90% of the total polar lipids. It was demonstrated that growth of M. halophilus in the presence of elevated phosphate and low sulfate blocked the shift to decreased phospholipids most notably during growth in 0.5-2 mol NaCl/L, without significant influence on growth. The data suggest that in low-phosphate media the influence of NaCl concentration on growth rate (and resulting demand for phosphate by competing pathways) is the primary factor responsible for exchange between phospholipid and sulfonolipid. We conclude that sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol, by substitution with phospholipids, contributes to the ability of these Gram-positive cocci to adapt to changing ionic environments. A comparison of 16S rRNA established a close similarity between Planococcus sp. H8 and M. halophilus.
Modeling respiratory mechanics in the MCAT and spline-based MCAT phantoms (2001)

Respiratory motion can cause artifacts in myocardial SPECT and computed tomography (CT). The authors incorporate models of respiratory mechanics into the current 4D MCAT and into the next generation spline-based MCAT phantoms. In order to simulate respiratory motion in the current MCAT phantom, the geometric solids for the diaphragm, heart, ribs, and lungs were altered through manipulation of parameters defining them. Affine transformations were applied to the control points defining the same respiratory structures in the spline-based MCAT phantom to simulate respiratory motion. The Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) surfaces for the lungs and body outline were constructed in such a way as to be linked to the surrounding ribs. Expansion and contraction of the thoracic cage then coincided with expansion and contraction of the lungs and body. The changes both phantoms underwent were spline-interpolated over time to create time continuous 4D respiratory models. The authors then used the geometry-based and spline-based MCAT phantoms in an initial simulation study of the effects of respiratory motion on myocardial SPECT. The simulated reconstructed images demonstrated distinct artifacts in the inferior region of the myocardium. It is concluded that both respiratory models can be effective tools for researching effects of respiratory motion.
A Generic Binary Tree-Based Progressive Demosaicking Method for Multispectral Filter Array (2006)

The technique of multispectral filter array (MSFA) is a multispectral extension of the widely deployed color filter array (CFA), which uses single chip sensors and subsequent interpolation strategies to produce full color images. However, multispectral demosaicking presents unique challenges to traditional CFA demosaicking algorithms which cannot be directly extended to deal with various filter arrays with different numbers of spectral bands or different spatial patterns within each band. In addition, the more spectral bands involved, the more sparse each band samples the image plane, and the less information we can utilize when performing the interpolation. In this paper, we study a generic MSFA demosaicking method, which follows a binary tree structure to determine the order according to which different spectral bands and different pixel locations within each band are progressively interpolated, making the edge information utilized more effectively. The proposed method is demonstrated to outperform three traditional interpolation techniques as well as three advanced CFA demosaicking methods using two performance measures, the root mean square error (RMSE) for reconstruction fidelity and the classification accuracy for target recognition performance.
Rheology of Hydrate Forming Emulsions (2010)

Results are reported on an experimental study of the rheology of hydrate-forming water-in-oil emulsions. Density-matched concentrated emulsions were quenched by reducing the temperature and an irreversible transition was observed where the viscosity increased dramatically. The hydrate-forming emulsions have characteristic times for abrupt viscosity change dependent only on the temperature, reflecting the importance of the effect of subcooling. Mechanical transition of hydrate-free water-in-oil emulsions may require longer times and depends on the shear rate, occurring more rapidly at higher rates but with significant scatter which is characterized through a probabilistic analysis. This rate dependence together with dependence on subcooling reflects the importance of hydrodynamic forces to bring drops or particles together.
Intra-articular dissociation of the rheumatoid factor. (1962)

Abstract It has been shown that the macroglobulins of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia and cold agglutinin hemolytic anemia can be dissociated in vivo by the administration of penicillamine. The rheumatoid factor is a macroglobulin. The results of in vitro dissociation of the rheumatoid factor by sulfhydryl compounds are presented. While penicillamine was effective in achieving in vitro dissociation, oral administration of this thiol to rheumatoid patients for 14 days failed to produce in vivo dissociation. When sulfhydryl compounds were introduced directly into the joint space, however, dissociation of the rheumatoid macroglobulin was consistently produced. Immunologic reactivity was lost and the latex test became negative for short periods. The feasibility of in vivo dissociation of the rheumatoid factor has thus been established and lends encouragement to the possibility that this substance may be reduced in the serum with more potent sulfhydryl compounds.
Distributed Control Techniques in Microgrids (2014)

The objective of this paper is to provide a review of distributed control and management strategies for the next generation power system in the context of microgrids. This paper also identifies future research directions. The next generation power system, also referred to as the smart grid, is distinct from the existing power system due to its extensive use of integrated communication, advanced components such as power electronics, sensing, and measurement, and advanced control technologies. At the same time, the need for increased number of small distributed and renewable energy resources can exceed the capabilities of an available computational resource. Therefore, the recent literature has seen a significant research effort on dividing the control task among different units, which gives rise to the development of several distributed techniques. This paper discusses features and characteristics of these techniques, and identifies challenges and opportunities ahead. The paper also discusses the relationship between distributed control and hierarchical control.
Firing patterns in the adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire model (2008)

For simulations of large spiking neuron networks, an accurate, simple and versatile single-neuron modeling framework is required. Here we explore the versatility of a simple two-equation model: the adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire neuron. We show that this model generates multiple firing patterns depending on the choice of parameter values, and present a phase diagram describing the transition from one firing type to another. We give an analytical criterion to distinguish between continuous adaption, initial bursting, regular bursting and two types of tonic spiking. Also, we report that the deterministic model is capable of producing irregular spiking when stimulated with constant current, indicating low-dimensional chaos. Lastly, the simple model is fitted to real experiments of cortical neurons under step current stimulation. The results provide support for the suitability of simple models such as the adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire neuron for large network simulations.
Highly elastic binders integrating polyrotaxanes for silicon microparticle anodes in lithium ion batteries (2017)

Lithium-ion batteries with ever-increasing energy densities are needed for batteries for advanced devices and all-electric vehicles. Silicon has been highlighted as a promising anode material because of its superior specific capacity. During repeated charge-discharge cycles, silicon undergoes huge volume changes. This limits cycle life via particle pulverization and an unstable electrode-electrolyte interface, especially when the particle sizes are in the micrometer range. We show that the incorporation of 5 weight % polyrotaxane to conventional polyacrylic acid binder imparts extraordinary elasticity to the polymer network originating from the ring sliding motion of polyrotaxane. This binder combination keeps even pulverized silicon particles coalesced without disintegration, enabling stable cycle life for silicon microparticle anodes at commercial-level areal capacities.
Cytokine mRNA Expression in Human Epidermis After Patch Treatment With Rhus and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (1999)

Background: Cytokines have been shown to play a pivotal role in the development and elicitation of contact hypersensitivity reactions. The sources of these cytokines in the skin include T cells, keratinocytes, and Langerhans cells. Objective: In an effort to characterize the cytokines involved in the elicitation phase of a contact allergic response, we examined mRNA expression in human epidermis following patch testing with a known allergen and vehicle. Methods: Allergic subjects were patch tested with poison ivy allergen (rhus), irritant (sodium lauryl sulfate [SLS]) and vehicle controls for 24 hours. Epidermal samples were obtained from the patch sites by a suction blister technique. Total RNA was isolated from the epidermis and the level of cytokine gene expression was determined using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). PCR products for the various cytokines were confirmed and semiquantitated by liquid hybridization with 32P-labeled product-specific probes. Results: Results of liquid hybridization confirmed the presence of message for interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4 and IL-10 in rhus, SLS, and vehicle treated sites. Generally, in rhus treated sites, the steady state level of message for IL-2 was highest, followed by IL-4 and IL-10, in decreasing levels. In contrast, only minimal expression of mRNA for these cytokines was observed in irritant and vehicle treated sites. Interestingly, interferon (IFN)-γ mRNA was not detected at 24 hours in rhus, SLS, or vehicle treated sites. Conclusion: These preliminary results indicate differences in the steady state levels of cytokine mRNA in allergen versus vehicle and irritant treated sites at 24 hours after treatment.
An Aspect-Oriented Development Method for Embedded Control Systems with Time-Triggered and Event-Triggered Processing (2005)

The paper presents a design method for embedded control systems based on the mixed architecture that consists of both time-triggered processing and event-triggered processing. We divide a design process into functional design and behavioral design. We also apply aspect-oriented programming to realize the separated design. In the functional design, we identify objects and define classes to realize functions of the target system. In the behavioral design, we determine triggering methods of objects to meet real-time requirements and define them as aspects. The aspects defined in the behavioral design are woven into the classes defined in the functional design. By using our method, we can design triggering methods independently of the functional design. Our method also improves the reusability of a model and source code of the system. It is possible to reuse classes designed in the functional design for both time-triggered systems and event-triggered systems.
