Stanfordâ€™s Multi-Pass Sieve Coreference Resolution System at the CoNLL-2011 Shared Task (2011)

This paper details the coreference resolution system submitted by Stanford at the CoNLL-2011 shared task. Our system is a collection of deterministic coreference resolution models that incorporate lexical, syntactic, semantic, and discourse information. All these models use global document-level information by sharing mention attributes, such as gender and number, across mentions in the same cluster. We participated in both the open and closed tracks and submitted results using both predicted and gold mentions. Our system was ranked first in both tracks, with a score of 57.8 in the closed track and 58.3 in the open track.
Spectral data mining for rapid measurement of organic matter in unsieved moist compost (2013)

Fifty-five compost samples were collected and scanned as received by visible and near-IR (VisNIR, 350-2500 nm) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The raw reflectance and first-derivative spectra were used to predict log(10)-transformed organic matter (OM) using partial least squares (PLS) regression, penalized spline regression (PSR), and boosted regression trees (BRTs). Incorporating compost pH, moisture percentage, and electrical conductivity as auxiliary predictors along with reflectance, both PLS and PSR models showed comparable cross-validation r(2) and validation root-mean-square deviation (RMSD). The BRT-reflectance model exhibited best predictability (residual prediction deviation=1.61, cross-validation r(2)=0.65, and RMSD=0.09 log(10)%). These results proved that the VisNIR-BRT model, along with easy-to-measure auxiliary variables, has the potential to quantify compost OM with reasonable accuracy.
Simple 3D validation experiments for PRESAGE<sup>TM</sup>/optical-CT dosimetry (2006)

Detailed studies of the basic dosimetric properties of small volumes of PRESAGETM have confirmed its promise as a new material with enhanced properties for 3D dosimetry. PRESAGETM is a transparent polyurethane material containing a radiochromic leucodye. Principle advantages include a relative insensitivity of the dose response to atmospheric exposure, and a radiochromic optical contrast which is light absorbing rather than light-scattering (peak optical density change is at ~633 nm). The absorptive nature of the contrast is more amenable to accurate dose read-out by optical-computed-tomography. This work represents our first feasibility tests of large volumes of PRESAGETM for dosimetric validation of radiation treatments.
Three dimensional simulation and measurement of sound pressure distribution generated by 120 ch plane loudspeaker array (2007)

This paper describes the three-dimensional simulation and measurement of the sound pressure distribution generated by 120 ch plane loudspeaker array. The authors research the local high sound pressure distribution generated by loudspeaker array. We develop the 120 ch plane loudspeaker array. The 120 plane loudspeakers are arranged at the 120 ch plane loudspeaker array. The authors simulate the three dimensional sound pressure distribution generated by the 120 ch plane loudspeaker array. From the result of the simulation, the 120 ch plane loudspeaker array can generate three dimensional sound pressure distribution. The 120 ch plane loudspeaker array is developed based on the simulation result. Actual measurement of sound pressure distribution is performed with 64 ch microphones measurement system. We confirm that the 120 ch plane loudspeaker array can generate three dimensional local high sound pressure area from result of measurement. In addition, result of simulation is compared with result of measurement. The simulation is available for the simulation of the 120 ch plane loudspeaker array from result of comparison.
<title>Role of the scanning laser ophthalmoscope in photodynamic therapy of macular disease</title> (2000)

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new treatment modality for exudative forms of age-related maculopathy. It can be combined with others types of selective or conventional laser therapy. Imaging and functional testing with the scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) are important for detailed diagnostic information as well as for the interpretation of the long term outcome of different treatment strategies. For example, infrared imaging in a confocal mode superbly outlines areas of minimal edema due to slow leakage and switching of wavelengths enables simultaneous and repeated angiographic studies of the retina with the same instrument. Visual acuities are strongly influenced by background illuminance and binocular fixation patterns, and absolute but not incremental microperimetric thresholds measure correctly the functional status of the photoreceptor-pigment epithelium complex. The scanning laser ophthalmoscope has been adapted for use as a delivery system in microphotocoagulation and photodynamic therapy. A non- scanning external therapeutic laser source uses the same Maxwellian view entrance location into the eye as the SLO. Advantages include a non-contact delivery, fixation control, registration of treatment locations, and the possibility to spatially modulate the area being treated.

Synthesis and Reactivity of <i>N</i>-Alkyl Carbamoylimidazoles: Development of <i>N</i>-Methyl Carbamoylimidazole as a Methyl Isocyanate Equivalent (2012)

A high-yielding synthesis of N-methyl carbamoylimidazole from 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) and MeNH(3)Cl is described. The product is a crystalline, readily storable, water-stable compound that reacts as a methyl isocyanate (MIC) substitute. Reaction of N-methyl carbamoylimidazole in the presence of a base such as triethylamine occurs with nucleophiles such as amines, protected and unprotected amino acids, thiols and alcohols. The product N-methylureas, carbamates and thiocarbamates are obtained in good to excellent yields, with reactions occurring in either organic solvents or water. The protocol for the synthesis of N-methyl carbamoylimidazole is both scalable and general, occurring in quantitative yield at scales ranging from 300 mg to 20 g. The success of this method relies upon the reaction of CDI with the ammonium salt rather than the free amine, resulting in a significant improvement in the yield of N-methyl carbamoylimidazole. The reaction presumably involves a proton transfer from MeNH(3)Cl to the CDI, which results in the release of MeNH(2) with simultaneous activation of the CDI as its protonated form. Other primary ammonium hydrochloride salts, including protected α-amino acid salts, give excellent yields of the corresponding N-alkyl carbamoylimidazoles and serve as alkyl isocyanate surrogates. The resultant N-alkyl carbamoylimidazoles can be converted to ureas in high yields without the formation of intermediary isocyanates.

Sparse training procedure for kernel neuron (2003)

The kernel neuron is the generalization of classical McCulloch-Pitts neuron using Mercer kernels. In order to control generalization ability and prune structure of kernel neuron, we construct a regularized risk functional including both empirical risk functional and Laplace regularization term in this paper. Based on the gradient descent method, a novel training algorithm is designed, which is referred to as the sparse training procedure for kernel neuron. Such a procedure can realize three main ideas: kernel, regularization (or large margin) and sparseness in the kernel machines (e.g. support vector machines, kernel Fisher discriminant analysis, etc.), and can deal with the nonlinear classification and regression problems effectively.
THE EXPRESSION OF c-met AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH TUMOR ANGIOGENESIS IN COLORECTAL CANCER (2010)

Objective To explore the expression of c-met protein and its relation with microvessel density(MVD) in colorectal carcinoma and assess their clinical significance. Methods Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of c-met protein and MVD marked by CD105 in 50 cases of colorectal carcinoma,20 of adenoma and 50 of normal tissue. ResultsThe positive rate of c-met in colorectal carcinoma was significantly higher than that in adenoma and normal tissue(χ2=31.929,P0.01).The MVD in colorectal carcinoma was significantly higher than that in adenoma and normal tissue(H=92.435,P0.01).c-met and MVD had no correlation with tumor site and histology staging,but were closely related to Dukes staging,depth of invasion,lymph node and distant metastasis(χ2=4.000-9.018;t=2.605-4.024;P0.05,0.01).The MVD in c-met-positive rectal cancer was higher than that in c-met-negative(t=2.752,P0.01). Conclusion c-met possibly play an important role in invasion and metastasis of colorectal carcinoma.Co-detection of c-met and MVD might be conducive to prediction of the prognosis of this malignancy.
Adaptive Frequency Sweep Linearization based on Phase Accumulator Principle (2007)

A novel approach to in-system monitoring of frequency sweep linearity is presented. Phase error measurement is carried out using a phase accumulator such as known from direct digital synthesizers (DDS). The successful application of this monitoring concept in an adaptive frequency sweep linearization system is shown by measurements of a 77-GHz linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFMCW) radar transmitter.

The Arabidopsis Mutant sleepy1gar2-1 Protein Promotes Plant Growth by Increasing the Affinity of the SCFSLY1 E3 Ubiquitin Ligase for DELLA Protein Substrates[W] (2004)

DELLA proteins restrain the cell proliferation and enlargement that characterizes the growth of plant organs. Gibberellin stimulates growth via 26S proteasome-dependent destruction of DELLAs, thus relieving DELLA-mediated growth restraint. Here, we show that the Arabidopsis thaliana sleepy1gar2-1 (sly1gar2-1) mutant allele encodes a mutant subunit (sly1gar2-1) of an SCF(SLY1) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. SLY1 (the wild-type form) and sly1gar2-1 both confer substrate specificity on this complex via specific binding to the DELLA proteins. However, sly1gar2-1 interacts more strongly with the DELLA target than does SLY1. In addition, the strength of the SCFSLY1-DELLA interaction is increased by target phosphorylation. Growth-promoting DELLA destruction is dependent on SLY1 availability, on the strength of the interaction between SLY1 and the DELLA target, and on promotion of the SCFSLY1-DELLA interaction by DELLA phosphorylation.
Optically stimulated luminescence in Gd-doped fluoroperovskites for color center lasers (1993)

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of gamma-irradiated undoped KMgF<SUB>3</SUB> showed emission bands at 464 and 534 nm. Incorporation of Gd resulted in new emission bands around 275 and 310 nm. In RbMgF<SUB>3</SUB> four emission bands at 302, 400, 465, 800 and shoulders at 525, and 770 nm are observed, respectively. The strong emission band of Gd at 311 nm is suppressed significantly in OSL process of RbMgF<SUB>3</SUB>. The presence of Gadolinium in CsMgF<SUB>3</SUB> suppressed the 300 nm band seen in CsMgF<SUB>3</SUB> and resulted in a strong emission around 312 nm. The OSL emission spectra of LiBaF<SUB>3</SUB> consists of three emission bands and a shoulder at 385, 470, 535, and 415 nm, respectively. Doping of Europium in LiBaF<SUB>3</SUB> suppressed the OSL emission of LiBaF<SUB>3</SUB> and resulted in the characteristic emission of Eu<SUP>2+</SUP> at 360 and 414 nm. The OSL spectra of these samples have been compared with their thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) spectra and the results are discussed in terms of the formation of F and V<SUB>k</SUB>-centers. The disappearance of certain bands has been attributed to the energy transfer processes between the activator and host.
Risks, Health Consequences, and Response Challenges for Small-Island-Based Populations: Observations From the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season (2018)

ABSTRACTThe intensely active 2017 Atlantic basin hurricane season provided an opportunity to examine how climate drivers, including warming oceans and rising seas, exacerbated tropical cyclone hazards. The season also highlighted the unique vulnerabilities of populations residing on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to the catastrophic potential of these storms. During 2017, 22 of the 29 Caribbean SIDS were affected by at least one named storm, and multiple SIDS experienced extreme damage. This paper aims to review the multiplicity of storm impacts on Caribbean SIDS throughout the 2017 season, to explicate the influences of climate drivers on storm formation and intensity, to explore the propensity of SIDS to sustain severe damage and prolonged disruption of essential services, to document the spectrum of public health consequences, and to delineate the daunting hurdles that challenged emergency response and recovery operations for island-based, disaster-affected populations.

Droplet-Based Microfluidic Platform for High-Throughput, Multi-Parameter Screening of Photosensitizer Activity (2013)

We present a fully integrated droplet-based microfluidic platform for the high-throughput assessment of photodynamic therapy photosensitizer (PDT) efficacy on Escherichia coli. The described platform is able to controllably encapsulate cells and photosensitizer within pL-volume droplets, incubate the droplets over the course of several days, add predetermined concentrations of viability assay agents, expose droplets to varying doses of electromagnetic radiation, and detect both live and dead cells online to score cell viability. The viability of cells after encapsulation and incubation is assessed in a direct fashion, and the viability scoring method is compared to model live/dead systems for calibration. Final results are validated against conventional colony forming unit assays. In addition, we show that the platform can be used to perform concurrent measurements of light and dark toxicity of the PDT agents and that the platform allows simultaneous measurement of experimental parameters that include dark toxicity, photosensitizer concentration, light dose, and oxygenation levels for the development and testing of PDT agents.
Minimizing Cost of Virtual Machines for Deadline-Constrained MapReduce Applications in the Cloud (2012)

As Cloud computing provides Anything as a Service (XaaS), many applications can be developed and run on the Cloud without concerns of platforms. Data-incentive applications are also easily developed on virtual machines provided by the Cloud. In this work, we investigate cost-effective resource provisioning for MapReduce applications with deadline constraints, as the MapReduce programming model is useful and powerful in developing data-incentive applications. When users want to run MapReduce applications, they submit jobs to a Cloud resource broker which allocates appropriate virtual machines with consideration of SLAs (Service-Level Agreements). The goal of resource provisioning in this paper is to minimize the cost of virtual machines for executing MapReduce applications without violating their deadlines to be finished by. We propose two resource provisioning approaches: one based on listed pricing policies and the other based on deadline-aware tasks packing. Throughout simulations, we evaluate and analyze them in various ways.
A grammar compiler for connected speech recognition (1991)

A compiler for constructing optimized syntactic digraphs from easily written grammar specifications is described. These are written in a language called grammar specification language (GSL). The compiler has a preprocessing (macroexpansion) phase, a parse phase, graph code generation and compilation phases, and three optimization phases. Digraphs can also be linked together by a graph linker to form larger digraphs. Language complexity is analyzed in a statistics phase. It is demonstrated that the optimization phase yields graphs with even greater efficiency than previously achieved by hand. Some preliminary speech recognition results of applying these techniques to intermediate and large graphs are discussed. With the introduction of these tools it is now possible to provide a speech recognition user with the ability to define new task grammars in the field. GSL has been used by several untutored users with good results. Experience with GSL indicates that it is a viable medium for quickly and accurately defining grammars for use in connected speech recognition systems.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A blind watermarking algorithm for 3D mesh models based on vertex curvature (2014)

We propose a robust blind watermarking algorithm for three-dimensional (3D) mesh models based on vertex curvature to maintain good robustness and improve visual masking in 3D mesh models. In the embedding process, by using the local window of vertex, the root mean square curvature is calculated for every vertex of the 3D mesh model and an ordered set of fluctuation values is obtained. According to the ordered fluctuation values, the vertices are separated into bins. In each bin the fluctuation values are normalized. Finally, the mean of the root mean square curvature fluctuation values of the vertices in each bin is modulated to embed watermark information. In watermark detection, the algorithm uses a blind watermark extraction technique to extract the watermark information. The experimental results show that the algorithm has a very good performance for visual masking of the embedded model and that it can resist a variety of common attacks such as vertex rearrangement, rotation, translating, uniform scaling, noise, smoothing, quantization, and simplification.

Reliability of Measured Popliteal Angle by Traditional and Stabilized Active-Knee-Extension Test (2009)

1) The active-knee-extension (AKE) test has been used to measure hamstring muscle length. The tradi-tional AKE test measures the popliteal angle to the point of resistance with a 90-degree flexion of the hip fixed by straps, while the stabilized AKE test measures the popliteal angle to the point of resistance with a 90-degree flexion of the hip stabilized using a pressure biofeedback unit providing lumbopelvic stabilization. The purpose of this study was to determine test-retest reliability of the traditional AKE test and stabilized AKE test. Twenty healthy adults participated in the study. The popliteal angles were measured with a digital inclinometer during each test. To assess the test-retest reliability between the 2 test sessions, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated. The intrasubject coefficient of var-iation (CV intra) was also calculated. To compare the traditional and stabilized AKE tests for changes in pressure, paired t-tests were applied. The results of this study were as follows: 1) ICCs(3,1) value for test-retest reliability was.96 in the traditional AKE test, and was.98 in the stabilized AKE test. 2) The maximal CV
Primary Murine Small Intestinal Epithelial Cells, Maintained in Long-Term Culture, Are Susceptible to Rotavirus Infection (2000)

ABSTRACT We describe a method for long-term culture of primary small intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) from suckling mice. IEC were digested from intestinal fragments as small intact units of epithelium (organoids) by using collagenase and dispase. IEC proliferated from organoids on a basement-membrane-coated culture surface and remained viable for 3 weeks. Cultured IEC had the morphologic and functional characteristics of immature enterocytes, notably sustained expression of cytokeratin and alkaline phosphatase. Few mesenchymal cells were present in the IEC cultures. IEC were also cultured from adult BALB/c mice and expressed major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens for at least 48 h in vitro. Primary IEC supported the growth of rhesus rotavirus (RRV) to a greater extent than a murine small intestinal cell line, m-IC cl2 . Cell-culture-adapted murine rotavirus strain EDIM infected primary IEC and m-IC cl2 cells to a lesser extent than RRV. Wild-type EDIM did not infect either cell type. Long-term culture of primary murine small intestinal epithelial cells provides a method to study (i) virus-cell interactions, (ii) the capacity of IEC to act as antigen-presenting cells using a wide variety of MHC haplotypes, and (iii) IEC biology.
