Mortality rates amongst mice with endogenous septicaemia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from various clinical sources (1993)

Mice that had been treated with cyclophosphamide and ampicillin were fed with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These procedures induced an endogenous septicaemia under conditions mimicking the pathophysiology of the disease in man. This model was used to compare the mortality rates in mice infected with P. aeruginosa isolates from various clinical sources. Mortality rates in mice given isolates from blood cultures had a broad range (0-100%), but the mean rate was significantly higher than with isolates from other infection sites. Moreover, blood isolates persisted in the intestines of mice after oral inoculation, whereas most isolates from other sources were gradually eliminated. Most P. aeruginosa isolates from blood culture produced significantly higher levels of exotoxin A and total proteases than isolates from other infection sites. Amongst the blood isolates, all but one of the lethal strains produced large quantities of exotoxin A or total proteases or both. Taken together, the results suggest that the ability of P. aeruginosa to adhere to the intestinal tract and to produce high levels of exo-enzymes may contribute to the development of fatal septicaemia.
Controlling the upper-frequency characteristics of velocity-feedback loudspeaker systems (1963)

A treatment already given permits velocity-feedback systems to be designed for adequate stability margin at low frequencies. At the higher frequencies allowance must be made for the modifying effects of the relatively impure blocked voice-coil "inductance." Because of the nature of this inductance, a design procedure was developed in terms of closed-loop voltage response at the voice-coil terminals. A relatively simple compensation could be provided to produce a suitable balance in the acoustic frequency response at the low, middle and upper audio frequencies. Stable operation also was obtained with no signs of parasitic oscillations. Practical examples, on testing, established the closeness of certain simplifying approximations used in the design. Results indicate how this type of feedback can suppress the fundamental resonance and extend the bass response. An important feature of the design is that it is based upon measurements of voice-coil impedance of the loudspeaker in its enclosure but without the need to block the voice-coil motion.
Exodisk--maximizing application control over storage management (1996)

This thesis presents a new disk system architecture to address the growing performance gap between CPU speed and disk access times. Based on the observation that disk access times can greatly benefit from application-specific resource management, the exodisk system separates resource protection and resource management. It safely and efficiently spacemultiplexes disk storage among applications and avoids resource management wherever possible. It exports the raw disk storage using a two-level model: On the first level, it provides applications with self-protected extents of contiguous disk sectors. On the second level, a lightweight i-node structure is supported that enables applications to efficiently combine several extents in one larger unit and to co-locate their own application-defined data with exodisk system meta-data. The overhead of storage protection is minimal (less than 10%, and often in the noise) for most operations and data organizations. The flexibility of the exodisk sys...

A multibus train communication (AMTRAC) architecture for high-speed fiber optic networks (1988)

A multibus train (ordered demand assignment) communication architecture, using the AMTRAC protocol (for efficient utilization of fiber-optic-based very-high-speed networks) is presented. Taking advantage of the emerging WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) and FDM (frequency-division multiplexing) technologies, the proposed solution introduces a coordinated multichannel control combining the performance advantages of two known approaches for high-speed communication: multichannel and train protocols. As a result an AMTRAC-based high-speed network achieves channel utilization significantly higher than previous approaches. For a network consisting of N stations, with propagation delay to packet transmission time ratio given by a, the AMTRAC architecture reaches a capacity of 1/(1+a/N/sup 2/).< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Azide–novolak resin negative photoresist for <i>i</i>-line phase-shifting lithography (1991)

A negative photoresist consisting of 4,4′-diazido-3,3′-dimethoxybiphenyl and a novolak resin, called micro resist for i-line (MRI), has been prepared and evaluated for i-line phase-shifting lithography. MRI has a high transmittance (80%/μm) and a high resist contrast (γ) at i line (365 nm). Line-and-space patterns of 0.30 μm were achieved using MRI in conjunction with an i-line phase-shifting lithography. The insolubilization mechanism of MRI is attributed to a secondary amine formed by the reaction of nitrene with novolak resin.
Wireless safety personnel radio device for collision avoidance system of autonomous vehicles (2002)

Military, commercial and agricultural autonomous/non-autonomous vehicles are designed to operate in the vicinity of people. The wireless personal safety radio device (WPSRD) described in this paper is worn by personnel and installed on the autonomous vehicle. It can initiate various actions in response to the information about the location or moving direction of personnel or vehicles. Such actions include shutting the vehicle down or warning personnel in the field via visual and audio alarm signals from the WPSRD. When an individual perceives danger to persons or property, the stop button on the WPSRD device may be pressed, issuing an immediate command to slow/stop the vehicle. The relative distance is estimated from the relative amplitude strength from the priori known unit locations.
The Aestheticization of Public Administration (1999)

In this article the authors contend that the application of aesthetic theory to the field of public administration can enhance and encourage creative human activity for more effective problem-solving. Shared values and understandings, which are the basis for collective action or inaction, are uncovered through the aesthetic examination and appreciation of societal and organizational images. Aesthetic theorizing is presented as a way to dialectically synthesize socially created and encountered artifacts that more authentically reflect our experiences, perceptions and visions for the future while yielding richer, more democratic interpretations of social phenomena toward meaningful praxis in everyday organizational life.
Responses of Primate Visual Cortical Neurons to Stimuli Presented by Flash, Saccade, Blink, and External Darkening (2002)

Our visual experience constitutes an unending chain of transient events, including those caused by saccadic eye movements, by blinks, and by localized or global changes in the external world. The categorical perception of objects is maintained across different classes of transient events, suggesting that the neural circuitry underlying visual perception responds to different transient events in a similar manner. However, different sorts of transients do have different perceptual impacts: for example, the sudden changes in a scene due to a saccade or a blink do not disturb our perceptual continuity of a visual scene as much as an external change does. We recorded the responses of 103 single visual cortical neurons in two rhesus monkeys (V1: n = 38, V2: n = 19, V3V/VP: n = 30, V4V: n = 16) to the onset and offset of a visual stimulus that was elicited by four different conditions: 1) stimulus flashed on and off while the eyes remain fixed; 2) stimulus turned on and off along with the entire scene (external darkening); 3) stimulus constant, onset and offset induced by rapid saccadic eye movements; and 4) offset induced by an eyeblink. For most neurons the onset and offset of a visual stimulus elicited qualitatively similar responses regardless of condition. We found no systematic effect of different conditions across the neuronal population. Previously we have shown that when the visual scene is occluded by a blink V1 neuronal firing declines in a similar manner as when the external scene is darkened and the eyes left open. Here we show that this is also the case in V2, V3V/VP, and V4V. However, for a substantial minority of neurons, the response varied strongly as a function of the transient event. This overall pattern was the same in all four cortical areas studied here. We hypothesize that most neurons in visual cortex constitute a passive "filter bank", analyzing the scene for specific details regardless of condition. However, there are neurons that respond in a qualitatively different manner depending on how a stimulus is presented, and we hypothesize that these signals may be important for determining the perceptual salience of a visual event.
Strong Control, Conservative Point Estimation and Simultaneous Conservative Consistency of False Discovery Rates: A Unified Approach (2003)

Summary The false discovery rate (FDR) is a multiple hypothesis testing quantity that describes the expected proportion of false positive results among all rejected null hypotheses. Benjamini and Hochberg introduced this quantity and proved that a particular step-up p-value method controls the FDR. Storey introduced a point estimate of the FDR for fixed significance regions. The former approach conservatively controls the FDR at a fixed predetermined level, and the latter provides a conservatively biased estimate of the FDR for a fixed predetermined significance region. In this work, we show in both finite sample and asymptotic settings that the goals of the two approaches are essentially equivalent. In particular, the FDR point estimates can be used to define valid FDR controlling procedures. In the asymptotic setting, we also show that the point estimates can be used to estimate the FDR conservatively over all significance regions simultaneously, which is equivalent to controlling the FDR at all levels simultaneously. The main tool that we use is to translate existing FDR methods into procedures involving empirical processes. This simplifies finite sample proofs, provides a framework for asymptotic results and proves that these procedures are valid even under certain forms of dependence.
Rainfall modeling for integrating radar information into hydrological model (2005)

Abstract A spatial rainfall model was applied to radar data of air mass thunderstorms to yield a rainstorm representation as a set of convective rain cells. The modeled rainfall was used as input into hydrological model, instead of the standard radar‐grid data. This approach allows a comprehensive linkage between runoff responses and rainfall structures.

Extracting transistor changes from device simulations by gradient fitting (1989)

The results of small-signal or transient analyses from a conventional device simulator (or measured data) can be combined with gradient-fitting techniques to produce smooth spline-based MOSFET charge models for circuit simulation. These techniques are also applicable to shape-from-shading problems. Results based on simulations of some small devices are presented. The comparative efficiencies of the small-signal and transient approach are discussed as well as the relation between the so-called small- and large-signal charges. The role of spline-based table models as against compact analytical models is considered.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Crust‐mantle whispering gallery phases: A deterministic model of teleseismic P<sub>n</sub> wave propagation (1980)

Teleseismic P n waves are modeled as a sum of whispering galley waves, which propagate in a waveguide composed of a simple high velocity mantle lid underlain by a low velocity zone. This model is able to account for those P n wave propagation properties that are not dominated by scattering, i.e., their apparent velocity and lack of long period energy. P n apparent velocity data constrain the P wave velocity gradient in the upper 100 km of mantle to be low; dv p /dz<0.001 s −1 . The whispering gallery rays are shown to have significant amplitude (when compared to the direct P wave) and to have spectra that rapidly fall off at long periods. Yet this model cannot account for certain details of the observed P n amplitude spectra. Most important among these is the spectral ratio of P n to P, which the model underestimates by a factor of 10. Nevertheless, the model presents a useful framework for understanding some characteristics of P n wave propagation and provides an estimate of the distribution of energy with depth in the P n waves.
Catalysis in Diesel engine NO<sub><i>x</i></sub>aftertreatment: a review (2015)

The catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) under lean-burn conditions represents an important target in catalysis research. The most relevant catalytic NO x abatement systems for Diesel engine vehicles are summarized in this short review, with focus on the main catalytic aspects and materials. Five aftertreatment technologies for Diesel NO x are reviewed: (i) direct catalytic decomposition; (ii) catalytic reduction; (iii) NO x traps; (iv) plasma-assisted abatement; and (v) NO x reduction combined with soot combustion. The different factors that can affect catalytic activity are addressed for each approach (e.g. promoting or poisoning elements, operating conditions, etc.). In the field of catalytic strategies, the simultaneous removal of soot and NO x using multifunctional catalysts, is at present one of the most interesting challenges for the automotive industry.
Native and baculovirus‐expressed forms of the immunoprotective protein BM86 from <i>Boophilus microplus</i> are anchored to the cell membrane by a glycosylphosphatidyl inositol linkage (1993)

A glycoprotein (BM86) from the gut cells of the cattle tick Boophilus microplus, when used to vaccinate cattle, has been shown to protect cattle from tick infestation. A recombinant BM86 protein is the principal component of a novel tick vaccine currently under development. The nature of the anchorage of BM86 to tick gut epithelial cells has been investigated using BM86 from B. microplus and recombinant BM86 proteins expressed in insect cells using the baculovirus expression system. BM86 from B. microplus and a full length recombinant BM86 are shown to be anchored to the extracellular surface of tick gut epithelial cells and baculovirus-infected insect cells, respectively by a glycosyl-phosphatidyl inositol membrane anchor. A recombinant BM86 truncated by the removal of a hydrophobic region coding for thirty amino acids at the carboxy-terminal end was secreted from baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells. This secreted form of recombinant BM86 showed strong protective activity against ticks in cattle vaccinated with this protein.

RBCD: redundant binary coded decimal adder (1989)

The major advantage of the binary coded decimal (BCD) system is in providing rapid binary-decimal conversion. The shortcoming of the BCD system is that BCD arithmetic operations are often slow and require complex hardware. The performance of BCD operations can be improved through a redundant binary coded decimal (RBCD) representation which leads to carry-free operations. This paper introduces the VLSI design of an RBCD adder. The design consists of two small PLA's and two 4-bit binary adders for one digit of the RBCD adder. The addition delay is constant for n-digit RBCD addition (no carry propagation delay). The VLSI time and space complexities of the design as well as its layout are presented. In addition, we show that BCD to RBCD conversion can be carried out in a constant time. However, RBCD to BCD conversion requires a carry-ripple operation which can be accomplished with a complexity equivalent to that of the carry-look-ahead circuitry.

Propagation effect on field waveforms in relation to time‐of‐arrival technique in lightning location (1998)

The propagation effect on electromagnetic pulses associated with negative return strokes is evaluated from data observed by direction finders for lightning location equipped with GPS clocks. Nine direction finders constitute a network in the northern part of the Honshu Island of Japan, which locates lightning by a method combining the direction finding and the time‐of‐arrival (TOA) technique. The delay of the peak of an electromagnetic pulse was evaluated to be negligible in propagation over seawater for distances less than 300 km, and its average was about 1.8 μs in the east‐west propagation over land for the distance of about 130 km. The timing error of 1.8 μs may cause maximum location error of about 0.5 km within a TOA lightning‐location network, and larger error is anticipated outside of the network. The evaluated propagation delay in this area corresponds to the average ground conductivity of about 0.003 S/m, except for the southwest part with slightly lower conductivity of about 0.002 S/m. These findings were confirmed by an analysis based on ground‐truth data obtained by still cameras equipped with precise clocks. The measured delay in the north‐south propagation corresponded to the average ground conductivity of about 0.003 S/m. The estimated arrival time of an electromagnetic pulse, based on the arrival time of the peak and the trigger time, gives smaller delay than the simple arrival time of the peak, but the difference is not significant. It would be better to compensate the peak time by evaluating the propagation effect in obtaining an estimate of the arrival time, to improve the accuracy of lightning location by using the TOA technique.
Revascularization of the Heart (1952)

A free graft of vein was placed between the aorta and coronary sinus. Three weeks later the sinus was partially occluded at its ostium in the right auricle. Blood from the aorta was made available to the myocardium by way of the venous system. After these procedures were done a histologic study of the venous and arterial channels was carried out. The coronary sinus and its tributaries showed hyperplasia of the intima. The anterior cardiac veins showed dilatation with little or no hyperplasia of intima. None of the veins became occluded. Complete occlusion of major coronary arteries was done. These arteries distal to the occlusion showed medial sclerosis and atrophy. They did not show thrombosis. The myocardium distal to an occluded artery showed many vascular channels.

Secondary Flow Loss Reduction Through Blowing for a High-Lift Front-Loaded Low Pressure Turbine Cascade (2012)

Efforts to increase individual blade loading in the low pressure turbine have resulted in blade geometries optimized for midspan performance. Many researchers have shown that increased blade loading and a front-loaded pressure distribution each separately contribute to increased losses in the endwall region. A detailed investigation of the baseline endwall flow of the L2F profile, which is a high-lift front loaded profile, is performed. In-plane velocity vectors and total pressure loss maps are obtained in five planes oriented normal to the blade surface for three Reynolds numbers. A row of pitched and skewed jets are introduced near the endwall on the suction surface of the blade. The flow control method is evaluated for four momentum coefficients at the high Reynolds number, with a maximum reduction of 42% in the area averaged total pressure loss coefficient. The same blade is also fitted with midspan vortex-generator jets and is tested at a Reynolds number of 20,000, resulting in a 21% reduction in the area averaged total pressure loss.
Enhancement of resonant tunneling current at room temperature (1997)

Enhancement of the resonant peak current through the ground quantum-well state at room temperature is observed at a low voltage by adding the second quantum-well structure to the AlAs/GaAs (001) double-barrier single quantum-well heterostructure. The peak to valley current ratio increases slightly with the increasing temperature up to room temperature, and shows stable characteristics up to high temperature in this AlAs/GaAs (001) triple barrier heterostructure. The results indicate that the optimum alignment of the Fermi level with the lined-up quantum-well states can greatly improve the resonant peak current in the low voltage range, and therefore device characteristics.
