Eigentaste 5.0 (2007)

Recommender systems strive to recommend items that users will appreciate and rate highly, often presenting items in order of highest predicted ratings first. In this working paper we present Eigentaste 5.0, a constant-time recommender system that dynamically adapts the order that items are recommended by integrating user clustering with item clustering and monitoring item portfolio effects. This extends our Eigentaste 2.0 algorithm, which uses principal component analysis to cluster users offline. In preliminary experiments we backtested Eigentaste 5.0 on data collected from Jester, our online joke recommender system. Results suggest that it will perform better than Eigentaste 2.0. The new algorithm also uses item clusters to address the cold-start problem for introducing new items.

Sintering Alumina: Effect of Atmospheres (1962)

Two effects of atmosphere on the sintering of alumina powder compacts were investigated. Changing the oxidizing conditions during early‐stage sintering measurements showed that, within the range −70°F dew point oxygen to −70°F hydrogen equilibrated with alumina, there was no observable effect on sintering rate. The effect of trapped atmosphere on closure of pores was determined from apparent density limits obtained at high sintering temperatures and long sintering times. The complete elimination of porosity during sintering of alumina was possible if discontinuous grain growth was controlled and if the ambient atmosphere was hydrogen, oxygen, or vacuum. Porosity could not be completely eliminated when the ambient atmosphere was helium, argon, or nitrogen (or therefore air).
The activation‐dependent induction of APN‐(CD13) in T‐cells is controlled at different levels of gene expression (1997)

Recently, it was shown that aminopeptidase N (E.C. 3.4.11.2, CD13) is up-regulated during mitogenic stimulation of peripheral T-cells. In this study, we demonstrate that the half-life of APN mRNA was considerably prolonged in these cells leading to a 2.7-fold increase of APN transcript level. The apparent half-life time of the APN transcript was investigated by the RNA synthesis inhibitor-chase method using actinomycin D. The steady-state APN mRNA levels was determined by a competitive RT-PCR. The half-lives estimated in resting T-cells, natural killer cells and permanently growing tumour cells varied between 3.5 and 6 h. Finally, nuclear run-on assays revealed that the APN gene expression of stimulated T-cells is controlled by increased promoter activity as well. These studies suggest a control of APN gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in addition to promoter-mediated regulation.
Low-dose aspirin and risk of cataract and subtypes in a randomized trial of U.S. physicians (1998)

Overall, these randomized trial data tend to exclude a large benefit of five years of low-dose aspirin therapy on cataract development and extraction. The data are compatible with a modest benefit on cataract extraction for this duration of aspirin therapy. Subgroup analyses raise the possibility of a modest, but potentially important, protective effect of aspirin on posterior subcapsular cataract, a particularly disabling subtype.
Time and frequency response of two-arm micromachined thermal actuators (2002)

This paper examines the time and frequency response characteristics of two-arm micromachined thermal actuators. Two types of thermal actuators are considered: hot/cold arm actuators and 'V' or 'chevron' shaped actuators. A heat transfer equation governing the temperature profile along the thermal actuators is derived. Equations for the thermal time constants and the frequency responses are presented. The thermal time constants and frequency responses are measured experimentally and compared to analytical predictions.
Scaling network services using programmable network devices (2005)

The NEon system offers an integrated approach to architecting, operating, and managing network services. NEon uses policy rules defining the operation of individual network services and produces a unified set of rules that generic packet-processing engines enforce.
Pseudo-3D Video Conferencing with a Generic Webcam (2008)

When conversing with someone via video conference, you are provided with a virtual window into their space. However, this currently remains both flat and fixed, limiting its immersiveness. Previous research efforts have explored the use of 3D in telecommunication, and show that the additional realism can enrich the video conference experience. However, existing systems require complex sensor and cameras setups that make them infeasible for widespread adoption. We present a method for producing a pseudo-3D experience using only a single generic webcam at each end. This means nearly any computer currently able to video conference can use our technique, making it readily adoptable. Although using comparatively simple techniques, the 3D result is convincing.
Size-quantised semiconductor cadmium chalcogenide particles in Langmuir–Blodgett films (1992)

The generation of quantised-state (Q-state) particles of CdS, CdSe, CdTe, CdSxSe1–x, CdSxTe1–x and CdSexTe1–x in polymerized nonacosa-10, 12-diynoic acid Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films is described. The use of mixed surfactants and mixed counterions Cd2+ and Ca2+ in the LB films is shown to influence the size of the particles formed. The possible factors controlling the particles formed. The possible factors controlling the particle size obtained in LB films are discussed.

Complexes between urokinase-type plasminogen activator and its receptor in blood as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (1998)

Complexes between urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR) were assessed in plasma and serum from 39 breast cancer patients and from 20 healthy individuals, applying a recently developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the analysis of these complexes in tumor tissue extracts. The assay is based on a combination of rabbit polyclonal anti-uPA antibodies for catching and a mouse anti-uPAR monoclonal antibody (MAb) for detection. The specificity of the assessment of uPA:uPAR complexes was verified by simultaneous analysis of the individual blood samples in corresponding non-sense ELISA formats, in which either the anti-uPA catching antibody or the anti-uPAR detecting antibody was substituted with an irrelevant antibody. Assessment of native uPA:uPAR complexes was ascertained by demonstrating the absence of any de novo formation of uPA:uPAR complexes in plasma and serum during the sample incubation step in the ELISA, as verified by the use of a peptide antagonist for uPAR. Plasma and serum samples contained almost identical levels of uPA:uPAR complexes. The levels of uPA:uPAR complexes were found to be significantly lower in serum from breast cancer patients compared to the serum of healthy donors, while the levels of (total) uPAR in plasma from breast cancer patients were significantly higher than in plasma from the healthy controls. In addition, the free, uncomplexed uPAR levels, estimated by subtraction of uPA:uPAR complex levels from (total) uPAR levels, were significantly elevated in plasma as well as in serum from breast cancer patients compared to healthy individuals. The uPA:uPAR complex levels were highly comparable to the uPA levels analyzed in the same plasma and serum samples, indicating that most if not all of the uPA present in these samples is complexed with uPAR.
Alagille syndrome associated with a paracentric inversion 20p12.2p13 disrupting theJAG1 gene (2001)

Mutations in the human gene Jagged1 (JAG1) localized in 20p12 have been recently identified as causal for the anomalies found in patients with Alagille syndrome (AGS). This gene encodes a ligand for the Notch1 transmembrane receptor, which plays a key role in cell-to-cell signaling during differentiation and is conserved from C. elegans to human. We report a paracentric inversion (PAI) of chromosome 20p12.2p13 in an individual with AGS who also had alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency. To our knowledge, this is the first published case of PAI involving the short arm of chromosome 20. Using FISH, fiberFISH, and molecular studies with a approximately 40 kb cosmid clone encompassing the entire 36 kb JAG1 gene, we demonstrate that the gene was disrupted by the inversion breakpoint between exons 5 and 6. An unusual association between two most common causes of chronic liver disease in childhood, AGS and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, as well as their influence on the proband's abnormal phenotype are discussed.
Channelization problem in large scale data dissemination (2005)

In many large scale data dissemination systems, a large number of information flows must be delivered to a large number of information receivers. However, because of differences in interests among receivers, not all receivers are interested in all of the information flows. Multicasting provides the opportunity to deliver a subset of the information flows to a subset of the receivers. With a limited number of multicast groups available, the channelization problem is to find an optimal mapping of information flows to a fixed number of multicast groups, and a subscription mapping of receivers to multicast groups so as to minimize a function of the total bandwidth consumed and the amount of unwanted information received by receivers. We formally define two versions of the channelization problem and subscription problem (a subcomponent of the channelization problem). We analyze the complexity of each version of the channelization problem and show that they are both NP-complete. We also find that the subscription problem is NP-complete when one flow can be assigned to multiple multicast groups. We also study and compare different approximation algorithms to solve the channelization problem, finding that one particular heuristic, flow-based-merge, finds good solutions over a range of problem configurations.
Advanced Machine Learning Approach to Handle Code Injection Attacks in Cloud Computing (2021)

Cloud computing is one significant paradigm in business oriented applications; it is an emerging technology to believe clients to store their in secured format to resource provisioning with other users. There are different types of enhanced security mechanisms on earlier users present in distributed environment. Aggregated Key Management and Cryptosystem (AKM&C) is one of the approaches to provide security in multi file sharing with single aggregate key in distributed environment. In web oriented distributed environment, code injection related attacks were appeared to access information stored in web data server developed in HTML and CSS for the implementation of different out sourced data in cloud. So that in this paper, we propose Machine Learning with Cross Script Code  based approach (MLCSCA) to handle and detect code injection related attacks on cloud computing. In this approach, detection of XSS, code injection related attacks is performed based on URLs, web page and cloud resource data. Data set is prepared based on web data available in storage server with different parameters. Evaluate the efficiency of the proposed approach to compare with existing approaches like AKM&C and others. Evaluation results show effective performance with respect to accuracy and other parameter results in distributed environment
Disappearance of cyclin A correlates with permanent withdrawal of cardiomyocytes from the cell cycle in human and rat hearts. (1995)

The regulated expression of cyclins controls the cell cycle. Because cardiomyocytes in adult mammals withdraw permanently from the cell cycle and thus cannot regenerate after injury, we examined cyclin expression during development by comparing cyclin A-E mRNA levels in fetal and adult human hearts. Cyclin B mRNA was detectable in adult hearts, although at a level markedly lower than that in fetal hearts. Levels of cyclin C, D1, D2, D3, and E mRNA were essentially identical in the two groups. In contrast, cyclin A mRNA was undetectable in adult hearts whereas cyclin A mRNA and protein were readily detectable in fetal hearts and cardiomyocytes, respectively. We then measured cyclin A mRNA and protein levels in rat hearts at four stages of development (fetal and 2, 14, and 28 d). Cyclin A mRNA and protein levels decreased quickly after birth (to 37% at day 2) and became undetectable within 14 d, an observation consistent with reports that cardiomyocytes stop replicating in rats by the second to third postnatal week. This disappearance of cyclin A gene expression in human and rat hearts at the time cardiomyocytes become terminally differentiated suggests that cyclin A downregulation is important in the permanent withdrawal of cardiomyocytes from the cell cycle.
Usage of tilt-in-space, recline, and elevation seating functions in natural environment of wheelchair users (2008)

This study examined the usage of powered seating functions, including tilt-in-space, backrest recline, and seat elevation, among a group of wheelchair users during their typical daily activities. Twelve individuals who used a power wheelchair with seating functions participated in the study. They drove their own wheelchair and used the seating functions as needed in their community environment for about 2 weeks while the seating function usage was recorded with a portable device. We found that subjects occupied their wheelchair for 11.8 +/- 3.4 hours a day (all data shown as mean +/- standard deviation). While occupying their wheelchairs, they accessed tilt-in-space, backrest recline, and seat elevation 19 +/- 14 times a day for 64.1% +/- 36.8%, 12 +/- 8 times for 76.0% +/- 29.8%, and 4 +/- 4 times for 22.5% +/- 34.9%, respectively. Subjects chose to stay in tilted and reclined positions in their wheelchair for 39.3% +/- 36.5% of their time each day. They spent little time in a fully upright position. Subjects changed their seating positions every 53.6 +/- 47.0 minutes. Time spent in positions of different seating pressures varied among subjects. The information collected could enhance clinical practice of wheelchair provision, resulting in better compliance with clinical instructions and appropriate use of seating functions among wheelchair users.

Yeast DEL Assay Detects Protection against Radiation-Induced Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity: Adaptation of a Microtiter Plate Version (2010)

The DEL assay in yeast detects DNA deletions that are inducible by many carcinogens. Here we use the colorimetric agent MTS to adapt the yeast DEL assay for microwell plate measurement of ionizing radiation-induced cell killing and DNA deletions. Using the microwell-based DEL assay, cell killing and genotoxic DNA deletions both increased with radiation dose between 0 and 2000 Gy. We used the microwell-based DEL assay to assess the effectiveness of varying concentrations of five different radioprotectors, N-acetyl-l-cysteine, l-ascorbic acid, DMSO, Tempol and Amifostine, and one radiosensitizer, 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine. The microwell format of the DEL assay was able to successfully detect protection against and sensitization to both radiation-induced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. Such radioprotection and sensitization detected by the microwell-based DEL assay was validated and compared with similar measurements made using the traditional agar-based assay format. The yeast DEL assay in microwell format is an effective tool for rapidly detecting chemical protectors and sensitizers to ionizing radiation and is automatable for chemical high-throughput screening purposes.
Map cube model - a model for multi-scale data (1998)

In this paper, we develop a model for the structure of multi-scale data derived from a map series. First we present a model of a map. We give an ontology of map elements and assign them to the objects of the model.. Then we derive a model for a series of maps, connecting several of the map models with the help of tree structures. This model is called the map cube model, the horizontal axes denoting 2D space and the vertical axis denoting level of detail. A formal model of the map model and of the map cube model is given in Gofer.

A class of self-healing ring architectures for SONET network applications (2002)

Synchronous optical network (SONET) technology has made high-speed self-healing ring (SHR) architectures practical and economical. The SHR architectures can be divided into two basic classes: bidirectional SHR (B-SHR) and unidirectional SHR (U-SHR). The cost and capacity tradeoffs between B-SHRs and U-SHRs depend strongly on the application, the network size, and the demand pattern. B-SHRs with four fibers can be operated under today's operations environment without a significant change. However, U-SHRs using a path protection switching method may ease intervendor compatibility problems and can be implemented on a timely basis without changing the well-defined SONET APS protocol. The selection of appropriate SONET SHR architectures will depend on the operating telephone companies' economic analysis, emphasis on a multivendor environment, SHR implementation time frame, and standards progress on making change to support a bidirectional ring architecture.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Heterotypic breast cancer model based on a silk fibroin scaffold to study the tumor microenvironment (2017)

An intensive investigation of the development of <i>in vitro</i> models to study tumor biology has led to the generation of various three-dimensional (3D) culture methods that better mimic <i>in vivo</i> conditions. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is shaped by direct interactions among cancer cells, cancer-associated cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). Recognizing the need to incorporate both tissue dimensionality and the heterogeneity of cells, we have developed a 3D breast cancer model. NIH3T3 fibroblasts and EMT6 breast cancer cell lines were seeded in various ratios onto a silk fibroin scaffold. The porosity of the silk scaffold was optimized to facilitate the growth of cancer cells. EMT6 and NIH3T3 cells were modified to express GFP and turboFP635, respectively, which enabled the direct analysis of the cell morphology and colonization of the scaffold and for the separation of the cells after their co-culture. Use of 3D mono-culture and 3D co-culture methods resulted in the modification of cell morphology and in a significant increase in ECM production. These culture methods also induced cellular changes related to EMT (epithelial-mesenchymal transition) and CAF (cancer-associated fibroblast) markers. The presented model is an easy to manufacture, well-characterized tool that can be used to study processes of the TME.
On the Reaction of (Vinylimino)phosphoranes. Part 17. Preparation of <i>N</i>-Vinylcarbodiimides and Their [4+2] Cycloaddition with Several Dienophiles to Give Pyridine Ring System (1991)

Abstract The aza-Wittig reaction of (vinylimino)triphenylphosphorane and its several derivatives was examined to give N-phenyl-N′-vinylcarbodiimide and its derivatives, all of which underwent a [4+2] cycloaddition reaction with electron-rich dienophiles (enamines) and/or electron-deficient dienophiles (activated acetylenes), resulting in the formation of a pyridine ring system. The regioselectivity of the cycloaddition reaction could be rationalized on the basis of a frontier orbital consideration.
Ultrasensitive Cross-species Measurement of Cardiac Troponin-I Using the Erenna Immunoassay System (2008)

Serum cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) has been validated as a biomarker for cardiotoxicity in numerous animal models; however, owing to sensitivity issues cTnI concentrations in healthy, resting animals used in toxicology studies have not been established. Serum from healthy and isoproterenol hydrochloride (iso)-treated rats, dogs, and monkeys were assayed using the Erenna system. The Erenna cTnI assay provided sensitivity < 1 ng/L across human, rat, dog, and monkey cTnI. Linear responses (R(2)= 0.99) were observed for all species. Precision studies yielded interassay CVs of curve fit quantification from 2% to 4% between 1.6 and 5000 ng/L, and 23% at 0.78 ng/L. Strong correlation (R(2)= 0.99) was obtained between Erenna and Beckman Access cTnI. Concentrations of cTnI in healthy animals ranged from 1 to 9 ng/L. In longitudinal studies of iso-treated animals, the concentrations of cTnI in the control vehicle-treated groups were 10-20 ng/L for rats (N = 10) and predose values of 2-3 ng/L for dogs (N = 3). Measured with the Erenna assay system, cTnI was quantifiable at all time intervals tested in all animals treated with iso. The Erenna system provides sensitive measurement of cTnI in rats, dogs, and monkeys, makes it possible to determine small changes from normal concentrations, and provides cTnI values from small volumes of serum.
Speed and Accuracy in Shallow and Deep Stochastic Parsing (2004)

This paper reports some experiments that compare the accuracy and performance of two stochastic parsing systems. The currently popular Collins parser is a shallow parser whose output contains more detailed semanticallyrelevant information than other such parsers. The XLE parser is a deep-parsing system that couples a Lexical Functional Grammar to a loglinear disambiguation component and provides much richer representations. We measured the accuracy of both systems against a gold standard of the PARC 700 dependency bank, and also measured their processing times. We found the deep-parsing system to be more accurate than the Collins parser with only a slight reduction in parsing speed. 1 1
Improvement of actinic blank inspection and phase defect analysis (2010)

We have developed an actinic full-field inspection system to detect multilayer phase defect with dark field imaging. A new CCD camera was installed onto the system with an objective of throughput and inspection sensitivity improvement. As the result, the throughput was improved from 14.25 to 4.75 hours per plate, and the detection probability for 1.2 nmhigh 40 nm-wide defect was found to be 95.7 %. This means that the system has a potential of its extendibility to beyond 22 nm HP inspection.
Effect of Lactoferrin on Iron Solubility under Neutral Conditions (1993)

The solubility of ferric iron with lactoferrin (Lf) was investigated in the presence of bicarbonate and phosphate salts. Lf and Lf digested with pepsin and trypsin could solubilize over a 70-fold molar equivalent of iron, which is much higher than the specific iron-binding ability of Lf. Lf appears promising as an ingredient for dietetic foods as it protects against iron-deficient anemia.
