THE CONSISTENCY OF ORTHODONTIC DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLANNING (2012)

Introduction: The cephalometric radiograph has been a staple in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning since its introduction by Broadbent in 1931. Many analyses have been created by which to compare skeletal and dental relationships. Little research has been performed evaluating how valuable a cephalometric radiograph is in diagnosing and treatment planning orthodontic patients with consistency. Purpose: The aim of this study was to focus on the value that orthodontists place on cephalometric radiographs when diagnosis and treatment planning on two separate occasions. Materials and Methods: Ten faculty members from SLU CADE were chosen at random to evaluate 65 sets of orthodontic records excluding the cephalometric radiograph. Each participant evaluated 11 of the 65 total records, of which 6 had been treated by that doctor, and the remaining 5 by none of the participants. A questionnaire of various skeletal questions and treatment plan options was applied to each case. The responses to each case treated by the participants (named “internal data”) were analyzed separate from the 5 universal cases (named “external data”) providing two sets of data. Skeletal relationships were calculated for external data only in order to compare evenly between the participants. Consistency of questionnaire responses was based on Kappa agreement measures and rates >0.60 were deemed statistically significant. Results: All internal data with regards to planning the use of auxiliary appliances, the decision to extract, and if surgical treatment was indicated came back at least substantially consistent to the original treatment plans. Estimating the patients’ skeletal classification, planning the use of an auxiliary appliance, and whether surgical treatment was indicated were consistently 35 significant for the external data. Conclusions: Based on these findings it can be concluded that orthodontists are confident in diagnosing and treatment planning without the use of a cephalometric radiograph and are consistent in their treatment plan decisions for cases they have treated in the past. However, there is little consistency of treatment plan decisions between doctors for cases treated by an unknown orthodontist. Finally, skeletal-dental relationships cannot be determined without access to a cephalometric
Posterior Displacement of the Tibia Increases in Deep Flexion of the Knee (2009)

Cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction surgery should aim to achieve stability on the medial side and a few millimeters of laxity at the lateral side at 90 degrees flexion with increasing laxity only on the lateral side in deep flexion.
Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (2008)

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) continues to limit the long-term success of cardiac transplantation. Recent insights have underscored the fact that innate and adaptive immune responses are involved in the pathogenesis of CAV. Vascular lesions are the result of cumulative endothelial injuries induced both by alloimmune responses and by nonspecific insults (including ischemia-reperfusion injury, viral infections, and metabolic disorders) in the context of impaired repair mechanisms. Intravascular ultrasound is the most sensitive method for detection of CAV, and progressive intimal thickening in the first posttransplant year identifies patients at high risk for future cardiovascular events. Encouraging results with regard to the detection of CAV by noninvasive methods should be an incentive to apply routine noninvasive imaging during mid- to long-term follow-up. Improved immunosuppressive drugs, including mycophenolate mofetil and proliferation signal inhibitors, as well as statins (in part via immunomodulation), have beneficial effects on CAV progression, although there is still a need to confirm the impact of vasodilators in improving outcome after heart transplantation. Coronary revascularization for CAV is only palliative, with no long-term survival benefit. Three main strategies for CAV prevention are currently under investigation: inhibition of growth factors and cytokines, cell therapy, and tolerance induction. However, because individual responses to an allograft change over time, assays to monitor the recipient's immune response and individualized methods for therapeutic immune modulation are clearly needed.

Synthesis and Mechanism of Particle- and Flower-Shaped ZnSe Nanocrystals: Green Chemical Approaches toward Green Nanoproducts (2008)

A nontoxic, simple, cheap, and reproducible strategy, which meets the standard of green chemistry, is introduced for the synthesis of ZnSe nanoparticles and nanoflowers. The production of these green nanomaterials can be readily scaled up and performed directly at ambient condition without affecting their qualities. The experimental results show that the as-synthesized ZnSe nanoparticles and nanoflowers with a zinc blende structure have a narrow size distribution without resorting to any postsynthetic size-selective procedure. A systematic study of the nanocrystal formation process indicates the following properties. (i) The amount of precursors plays a greater role in the determination of the nanoparticle size than other reaction parameters. Variation of this parameter allows us to tune the nanoparticle size in the high-temperature annealing process. This tunability is interpreted well by the growth kinetics. (ii) The limited ligand protection mechanism cannot be employed to explain the formation of our nanoflowers. Instead, a new growth mechanism is proposed. Upon heating at high temperature, a mononuclear Zn complex converts to a polynuclear Zn complex with multiple Zn atoms. Each Zn atom grows into one ZnSe nanoparticle after the injection of Se solution. These nanoparticles closely connect and thus look like nanoflowers.
Using Ontology and Sequence Information for Extracting Behavior Patterns from Web Navigation Logs (2010)

Many e-commerce web sites such as online book retailers or specialized information hubs such as online movie databases make use of recommendation systems where users are directed to items of interests based on past user interactions. While keyword based approaches are naive and do not take content or context into account, collaborative filtering and content-based techniques suffer from biased ratings, first item and first-rater problems. Recent approaches try to incorporate underlying semantic properties of data by employing ontology based usage mining. This work aims to design a Web navigation behavior extraction approach that makes use of page semantics and navigation sequence information where web pages are seen as objects and sessions as sequence of objects. Instead of relying on users' content ratings, user sessions are clustered on a semantic level to capture different behavioral groups. Since semantic information and sequence are used for the clustering distance function, each cluster represents a behavior group instead of simple data groups. In this work, we use the recommendation results as a means for measuring the effectiveness of the clusters we have generated. The effect of integrating semantic information and page access sequence into the patterns are evaluated with a set of experiments.
Killer cells: a functional comparison between natural, immune T-cell and antibody-dependent in vitro systems. (1976)

Previous reports have shown that spleen cells from nonimmune adult mice of certain strains do regularly kill Moloney leukemia virus-induced lymphomas in short-term 51Cr release assays. This naturally occuring killer (NK) cell had low adherent properties and had the morphological appearance of a lymphocyte. Still it lacked surface characteristics of mature T or B lymphocytes. In the present report a functional study was carried out, comparing in parallel the NK system, the T-cell killing across an H-2 barrier (anti-P815), and the antibody-dependent cell-mediated chicken red blood cell (CRBC) system. In contrast to the effector cells in the CRBC system, the NK cells were insensitive to erythrocyte antibody complement (EAC) rosette depletion and would pass through nylon wool columns. NK activity was not inhibited by the presence of heat-aggregated human or mouse gamma globulin, in contrast to the strong inhibition noted in the CRBC system. Sensitivity to trypsin pretreatment was noted in the NK system as well as in the immune P815 system, whereas the CRBC system was relatively trypsin resistant. Antitheta plus complement eliminated the anti-P815 activity, but did not touch the NK activity. The present results thus further distinguish the NK cell from cytotoxic T lymphocytes or from antibody-dependent killer cells.
Towards Social Semantic Suggestive Tagging. (2007)

Abstract. The organization of the knowledge on the web is increasingly becoming a social task performed by online communities whose members share a common interest in classifying different types of information for a later retrieval. Collaborative tagging systems allow people to organize a set of resources of interest through unconstrained annotations based on free keywords commonly named tags. Suggestive tagging techniques support users in this organization process and have shown to be helpful also in fostering a quick convergence to a shared tag vocabulary. In this paper, we propose a tag recommender which relies on the content analysis of the resource to be tagged, as well as on the personal and collective tagging history. The main contribution of this work is a model which combines semantic content analysis methods with existing suggestive tagging techniques. The expected benefit is the improvement of the user experience in social bookmarking systems, and more generally in collaborative tagging systems.

On‐column capture of a specific protein in capillary electrophoresis using magnetic beads (2006)

A method for capturing specific molecules separated by CE has been explored. To demonstrate on-column capture of migrating analyte molecules, two detection windows were fabricated on a capillary. Magnetic beads containing immobilized molecules that react with the specific molecules under study were placed between the detection windows in the capillary using magnets. Molecules in a sample solution injected into the capillary were separated and detected at the first detection window. After passing through the first detection window, the separated molecules encountered the magnetic beads, where the specific analyte was captured. As a result, the peak area for those analyte molecules decreased or disappeared completely at the second detection window. Rabbit IgG and carbonic anhydrase were employed to demonstrate on-column capture of a specific molecule. For rabbit IgG, magnetic beads containing the immobilized antibody (anti-rabbit IgG) were used. Rabbit IgG molecules were captured on the magnetic beads during CE migration. Furthermore, the capture of carbonic anhydrase was demonstrated by the reaction between magnetic beads (containing immobilized anti-rabbit IgG) and anti-carbonic anhydrase (rabbit IgG), before the beads were packed in the capillary. After packing the magnetic beads in the capillary, a mixture of two proteins was injected into the capillary. Two proteins were detected at the first detection window, while the peak corresponding to carbonic anhydrase disappeared at the second detection window. The results show that using an appropriate antibody, the present technique would be applicable to any proteins.
PRECISION OF THE RELATIVE COMPACTION TEST USING MUCLEAR GAGES (1976)

Precision statements for the relative compaction test under varying conditions are given. The precision of the in situ density determination is based on application of Test Method No. Calif. 231-F utilizing nuclear gages and a sampling technique called the area concept. Maximum wet density precision is based on ASTM-D1557-70. A model for nuclear gage repeatability is established and the adequacy of current calibration procedures is evaluated. The precision of ASTM-D1557-70 using California operators is reported. A number of pertinent variance components are isolated with respect to the overall relative compaction variance. Also, the variation of density determinations within a relatively uniform area is given for treated and untreated soils. Precision statements for a number of California concrete and aggregate test methods are also summarized.
A new hybrid methodology for power estimation (1996)

In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach for estimating the switching activities of the internal nodes in logic circuits. The new approach combines the advantages of the simulation-based t e chniques and the probability-based t e chniques. We use the user-specied control sequence for simulation and treat the weakly correlated data inputs using the probabilistic model. The new approach, on one hand, is more a c curate than the probabilistic approaches because the strong temporal and spatial correlations among control inputs are well taken into consideration. On the other hand, the new approach is much more ecient than the simulation-based approaches because the weakly correlated data inputs are not explicitly simulated. In addition, we also propose a heuristic that builds BDDs in terms of internal nodes such that large circuits can be handled. Extensive experimental results are p r esented to show the eectiveness and eciency of our algorithms.
Z-pinch fusion (2020)

The Z-pinch configuration offers the promise of a compact fusion device owing to its simple geometry, unity beta, and absence of external magnetic field coils. Increasing the axial current compresses the plasma, resulting in a rapid rise of the fusion reaction rate. Historically, the Z pinch has been plagued by fast growing instabilities that limit plasma lifetimes. Recent progress has resulted from investigating approaches that provide stability. One approach exploits sheared-flow stabilization to produce an equilibrium Z pinch, which sustains the compressed plasma state for durations much longer than other plasma timescales. Recent experimental and simulation results encourage pursuit of the stabilized Z pinch to explore its fusion performance limits.
VMCTune: A Load Balancing Scheme for Virtual Machine Cluster Using Dynamic Resource Allocation (2010)

This paper designs and implements a load balancing scheme based on dynamic resource allocation policy for virtual machine cluster, which are running under para-virtualization mode on a cluster of physical machines (PM) in shared storage architecture. It monitors the real-time resources utilization of VMs and PMs, including CPU, memory and network, then uses instant resource reallocation for virtual machines (VM) running on same PM to achieve local VMs' load balancing, while uses live migration of VMs among PMs to achieve global VMs' load balancing. It optimize the resource allocation of VMs to achieve global load balancing of virtual machine cluster. The resource utilization of physical machines will be improved as well. Compared to traditional load balancing schemes based on task scheduling, it is application independent and works seamless on VMs hosting different kinds of applications.

Improving the performance of trace-based systems by false loop filtering (2011)

Trace-based compilation is a promising technique for language compilers and binary translators. It offers the potential to expand the compilation scopes that have traditionally been limited by method boundaries. Detecting repeating cyclic execution paths and capturing the detected repetitions into traces is a key requirement for trace selection algorithms to achieve good optimization and performance with small amounts of code. One important class of repetition detection is cyclic-path-based repetition detection, where a cyclic execution path (a path that starts and ends at the same instruction address) is detected as a repeating cyclic execution path. However, we found many cyclic paths that are not repeating cyclic execution paths, which we call false loops. A common class of false loops occurs when a method is invoked from multiple call-sites. A cycle is formed between two invocations of the method from different call-sites, but which does not represent loops or recursion. False loops can result in shorter traces and smaller compilation scopes, and degrade the performance. We propose false loop filtering, an approach to reject false loops in the repetition detection step of trace selection, and a technique called false loop filtering by call-stack-comparison, which rejects a cyclic path as a false loop if the call stacks at the beginning and the end of the cycle are different. We applied false loop filtering to our trace-based Java™ JIT compiler that is based on IBM's J9 JVM. We found that false loop filtering achieved an average improvement of 16% and 10% for the DaCapo benchmark when applied to two baseline trace selection algorithms, respectively, with up to 37% improvement for individual benchmarks. In the end, with false loop filtering, our trace-based JIT achieves a performance comparable to that of the method-based J9 JVM/JIT using the corresponding optimization level.

Flex-Sphere: An FPGA Configurable Sort-Free Sphere Detector For Multi-user MIMO Wireless Systems (2008)

Spatial division multiplexing (SDM) in MIMO technology significantly increases the spectral efficiency, and hence capacity, of a wireless communication system: it is a core component of the next generation wireless systems, e.g. WiMAX, 3GPP LTE and other OFDM-based communication schemes. Moreover, spatial division multiple access (SDMA) is one of the widely used techniques for sharing the wireless medium between different mobile devices. Sphere detection is a prominent method of simplifying the detection complexity in both SDM and SDMA systems while maintaining BER performance comparable with the optimum maximum-likelihood (ML) detection. There are several approaches for realizing sphere detectors, and the algorithmic landscape is rich with methods that enable the designer to make various tradeoffs between performance, e.g. throughput of the wireless channel, BER, and implementation complexity,\ne.g. silicon area for an ASIC implementation or FPGA resource envelope for an FPGA implementation. This paper describes the FPGA realization of a configurable and flexible sort-free sphere detector, Flex-Sphere, that supports 4;16;64-QAM modulations as well as a combination of 2;3 and 4 antenna/user configuration for uplink transmission. The detector provides a data rate of\nup to 849:9 Mbps. The algorithmic optimizations employed to produce an FPGA friendly realization are discussed.
Resolution enhancement by extrapolation of the optically measured spectrum of surface profiles (1997)

Surface features are measured by the analysis of the diffracted field intensity distribution generated by a scanning Gaussian beam. The measured data are shown to represent the amplitude of the Gabor expansion coefficients of the complex function embossed by the surface onto the reflected wave front. The surface is reconstructed by use of a custom-designed algorithm based on generalized projections, with a resolution exceeding the classical diffraction limit.
Synthesis of Multiacyl Poly(ethylene glycol) for the Conjugation of Cytochrome <i>c</i> to Phospholipid Vesicle (2000)

To conjugate water-soluble macromolecules on the surface of phospholipid vesicles, we synthesized a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-lipid having four acyl chains using a lysine (Lys)-type monodendron structure. One end of the diamino-PEG was amidified with Lys, and then two amino groups of the Lys moiety were amidified with two Lys derivatives which had been acylated with two stearoyl groups. The other end of the PEG was activated with a triazine group or a pyridyldithio group. The hydrate of the lipid mixture of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol, and the PEG-lipid at a molar ratio of 5/5/1/0.3 was extruded in order to prepare the phospholipid vesicles with the average diameter of 270 +/- 20 nm. The coupling ratio of cytochrome c with the PEG-lipid was monitored by HPLC, detecting the pyridyl 2-thione liberated from the pyridyldithio group and determining it to be 26% on the basis of the incorporated PEG-lipid.
