Prediction of Chronic Diseases With Multi-Label Neural Network (2020)

Chronic diseases have seriously affected human activities, especially in many developing countries and underdeveloped countries. The long duration of chronic diseases and the high cost of medical care have placed a huge economic burden on society and families. Meanwhile, chronic patients tend to have a variety of complications over time. So, it is difficult for doctors to find effective diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Machine learning techniques can integrate their heterogeneous data of various body indicators. Meanwhile, for chronic patients, multi-label learning methods can be used to help doctors identify the types of the chronic diseases. This paper proposes a novel multi-label neural network method (ML-NN) to predict the chronic diseases combining neural network and multi-label learning technology based on cross entropy lost function and backward propagation algorithm. Compared with 14 traditional multi-label learning methods on 10 chronic diseases and 19733 patients, the proposed method achieved a consistently best in 5 performance measurements. The results demonstrate the proposed method can effectively predict chronic diseases and assist doctors to diagnose and treat patients.
Code size minimization and retargetable assembly for custom EPIC and VLIW instruction formats (2000)

PICO is a fully automated system for designing the architecture and the microarchitecture of VLIW and EPIC processors. A serious concern with this class of processors, due to their very long instructions, is their code size. One focus of this paper is to describe a series of code size minimization techniques used within PICO, some of which are applied during the automatic design of the instruction format, while others are applied during program assembly. The design of a retargetable assembler to support these techniques also poses certain novel challenges, which constitute the second focus of this paper. Contrary to widely held perceptions, we demonstrate that it is entirely possible to design VLIW and EPIC processors that are capable of issuing large numbers of operational per cycle, but whose code size is only moderately larger than that for a sequential CISC processor.
A Monoclonal Antibody to a Cytoskeletal Protein Selectively Recognizing Malignant Neuroectodermal Tumors (1994)

Fusion of myeloma (P3X63-Ag 8.653) cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with human neuroblastoma (SK-N-SH) cells yielded a hybridoma clone, referred to as 3XB7, with a unique pattern of reactivity to malignant neuroectodermal tumors except gliomas of low-grade malignancy. Indirect immunofluorescence staining under different conditions and Western blot analysis indicate that the 3XB7 MAb recognizes an intracellular cytoskeletal protein of M(r) 52K. Immunohistochemical studies with cryostat and paraffin-embedded sections from tumor biopsies revealed that the 3XB7 MAb specifically recognizes malignant neuroectodermal tumors and reacts negatively with other epithelial and mesenchymal tumors, e.g., carcinomas, lymphomas, and sarcomas as well as with normal adult and fetal brain tissues. Negative reaction was also observed with other small round cell tumors of childhood. Thus the 3XB7 antigen can be used for diagnosis of all stages of neuroblastomas, and its specific expression in gliomas with high-grade malignancy (grades III and IV) confer on it additional prognostic value.
Dispersal movements of green turtle (Chelonia mydas) reared for one month after emergence (2006)

The objective of this study was to determine whether turtles reared for a period after hatching have the willingness to migrate offshore. In order to do this, the swimming behavior of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) reared for 28 to 56 days was monitored after their release from the beach. Eggs of green turtles laid on the beaches were collected and buried into an artificial beach. After their emergence, the turtles were reared for 28 to 56 days in containers. Six active and healthy looking turtles were selected and we tracked them after release from the beach. After release, the experimental turtles moved to the north, but their movements were meandering. Moreover, one turtle temporarily drifted onto the beach due to ocean current. The mean speed of movement was 0.75 ± 0.11 km/h. The distance from the beach during the experiment period was 1467 ± 460 m. Their movement speeds were significantly slower than those of frenzy turtle reported in previous studies. In conclusion, the results of the study indicated that the turtles reared for longer periods may not be able to migrate offshore as effectively as if they were released naturally from the beach.
Polysulfone-based anion exchange membranes demonstrate excellent chemical stability and performance for the all-vanadium redox flow battery (2013)

A polysulfone-based anion exchange membrane functionalized with quaternary benzyl trimethylammonium groups (PSF-TMA+) demonstrated a 40-fold reduction in vanadium(IV) permeability when compared to a Nafion® membrane. Comprehensive 2D NMR (COSY and heteronuclear quantum correlation spectroscopy) studies verified that PSF-TMA+ remained chemically stable even after exposure to a 1.5 M vanadium(V) solution for 90 days. Excellent energy efficiencies (85%) were attained and sustained over several charge–discharge cycles for a vanadium redox flow battery prepared using the PSF-TMA+ separator.
Development of a chitosan‐based nanoparticle formulation for delivery of a hydrophilic hexapeptide, dalargin (2008)

Nanoparticle based delivery systems can offer opportunities for targeting, controlled release, and enhanced stability of their drug, protein, or gene therapy payload. This study investigated the use of chitosan in combination with the ionic additives sulfobutyl-ether-7-beta-cyclodextrin (SB-CD) or SB-CD/dextran sulfate (SB-CD/DS) mixture in comparison with chitosan: DS in the formulation of nanoparticles incorporating the hexapeptide dalargin. The physical characteristics (particle size, zeta potential), entrapment and loading efficiency, and release of dalargin were quantified. It was demonstrated that anionic cyclodextrin, SB-CD, can be used in complex coacervation with chitosan, with and without the presence of DS, to form nanoparticles. The presence of SB-CD or DS in the nanoparticle formulation and the weight ratio of chitosan to anionic additive(s) influenced the physical properties of the nanoparticles and their ability to carry dalargin. In addition, the particle size of nanoparticles was also affected by the molecular weight of chitosan and DS. The use of either DS or SB-CD/DS mixture produced chitosan nanoparticles with small particle size, high dalargin entrapment efficiency, enhanced peptide stability, and sustained release characteristics.
Detection of K-ras Point Mutations in Sputum from Patients with Adenocarcinoma of the Lung by Point-EXACCT (2003)

Lung cancer is a disease with high incidence and mortality (1). The prognosis for patients with lung cancer is most favorable when tumors are detected early in a surgically resectable stage of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods that can increase the percentage of cases of lung cancer detected in early stage may theoretically lead to a decrease in mortality. However, in the past, screening programs for early detection of lung cancer that used chest X-ray of the thorax with or without sputum cytology have not been successful in reducing the high numbers of lung cancer deaths (2–5). Therefore, new approaches that use genetic alterations as potential biomarkers may be beneficial for early detection.

Ecological and Agricultural Significance of Bacterial Polyhydroxyalkanoates (2005)

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a group of carbon andenergy storage compounds that are accumulated during suboptimal growth by many bacteria, and intracellularly deposited in the form of inclusion bodies. Accumulation of PHAs is thought to be used by bacteria to increase survival and stress tolerance in changing environments, and in competitive settings where carbon and energy sources may be limited, such as those encountered in the soil and the rhizosphere. Understanding the role that PHAs play as internal storage polymers is of fundamental importance in microbial ecology, and holds great potential for the improvement of bacterial inoculants for plants and soils. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the ecological function of PHAs, and their strategic role as survival factors in microorganisms under varying environmental stress is emphasized. It also explores the phylogeny of the PHA cycle enzymes, PHA synthase, and PHA depolymerase, suggesting that PHA accumulation was earlier acquired and maintained during evolution, thus contributing to microbial survival in the environment.
Fast Robot Motion Planning with Collision Avoidance and Temporal Optimization (2018)

Considering the growing demand of real-time motion planning in robot applications, this paper proposes a fast robot motion planner (FRMP) to plan collision-free and time-optimal trajectories, which applies the convex feasible set algorithm (CFS) to solve both the trajectory planning problem and the temporal optimization problem. The performance of CFS in trajectory planning is compared to the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) in simulation, which shows a significant decrease in iteration numbers and computation time to converge a solution. The effectiveness of temporal optimization is shown on the operational time reduction in the experiment on FANUC LR Mate 200iD/7L.
Ground Thermal Inertia for Energy Efficient Building Design: A Case Study on Food Industry (2012)

The search for energy efficient construction solutions is still pending in the agro-food industry, in which a large amount of energy is often consumed unnecessarily when storing products. The main objective of this research is to promote high energy efficiency built environments, which aim to reduce energy consumption in this sector. We analyze the suitability of using the thermal inertia of the ground to provide an adequate environment for the storage and conservation of agro-food products. This research compares different construction solutions based on the use of ground thermal properties, analyzing their effectiveness to decrease annual outdoor variations and provide adequate indoor conditions. The analysis undertaken is based on over five million pieces of data, obtained from an uninterrupted four year monitoring process of various constructions with different levels of thermal mass, ranging from high volume constructions to others lacking this resource. It has been proven that constructive solutions based on the use of ground thermal inertia are more effective than other solutions when reducing the effects of outdoor conditions, even when these have air conditioning systems. It is possible to reach optimal conditions to preserve agro-food products such as wine, with a good design and an adequate amount of terrain, without having to use air conditioning systems. The results of this investigation could be of great use to the agro-food industry, becoming a reference when it comes to the design of energy efficient constructions.

Asymptotic average redundancy of adaptive block codes (2003)

Sample-based (or adaptive) block codes represent a transitional case: while the exact parameters of a source are not known, one can obtain finite length sequences of symbols (or samples) produced by this source in the past. It turns out, that using such samples it is possible to construct codes that are more efficient in encoding this particular source than pure universal codes. In order to be able to compare adaptive codes and codes for a known source more precisely one clearly needs to know the exact expression of an O (1/n). Obtaining the exact expression for this and subsequent terms describing the average behavior of adaptive block codes is the main goal of this paper.
Bacterial colonization of zirconia ceramic surfaces: an in vitro and in vivo study. (2003)

The microbial colonization of new ceramic materials developed for abutment manufacturing was assessed.The materials used in these experiments were disks of 'as-fired' and 'rectified' ceramic material made of tetragonal zirconia polycrystals stabilized with yttrium (Y-TZP) and commercially pure grade 2 titanium (Ti) with corresponding eluates. They were tested in vitro with the following bacteria: Streptococcus mutans, S. sanguis, Actinomyces viscosus, A. naeslundii, and Porphyromonas gingivalis. Proliferation was evaluated on plates by inhibitory halos around pits, previously inoculated with eluates obtained from the materials. Bacterial adhesion on materials was quantified by spectrophotometric evaluation of the slime production by the same bacteria. Moreover, early bacterial adhesion was evaluated in human volunteers and observed with SEM.No inhibition of bacterial proliferation using eluates was observed. In vitro as-fired and rectified Y-TZP showed significantly more adherent S. mutans than did Ti disks, while S. sanguis seemed to adhere easily to Ti specimens. No differences were noted for Actinomyces spp and P. gingivalis. In vivo Y-TZP accumulated fewer bacteria than Ti in terms of the total number of bacteria and presence of potential putative pathogens such as rods. No differences were observed between rectified and as-fired Y-TZP.Overall, Y-TZP accumulates fewer bacteria than Ti.Y-TZP may be considered as a promising material for abutment manufacturing.
Passive Temporal Offset Estimation of Multichannel Recordings of an Ad-Hoc Microphone Array (2013)

In recent years ad-hoc microphone arrays have become ubiquitous, and the capture hardware and quality is increasingly more sophisticated. Ad-hoc arrays hold a vast potential for audio applications, but they are inherently asynchronous, i.e., temporal offset exists in each channel, and furthermore the device locations are generally unknown. Therefore, the data is not directly suitable for traditional microphone array applications such as source localization and beamforming. This work presents a least squares method for temporal offset estimation of a static ad-hoc microphone array. The method utilizes the captured audio content without the need to emit calibration signals, provided that during the recording a sufficient amount of sound sources surround the array. The Cramer-Rao lower bound of the estimator is given and the effect of limited number of surrounding sources on the solution accuracy is investigated. A practical implementation is then presented using non-linear filtering with automatic parameter adjustment. Simulations over a range of reverberation and noise levels demonstrate the algorithm's robustness. Using smartphones an average RMS error of 3.5 samples (at 48 kHz) was reached when the algorithm's assumptions were met.
Micro-Doppler Ambiguity Resolution Based on Short-Time Compressed Sensing (2015)

When using a long range radar (LRR) to track a target with micromotion, the micro-Doppler embodied in the radar echoes may suffer from ambiguity problem. In this paper, we propose a novel method based on compressed sensing (CS) to solve micro-Doppler ambiguity. According to the RIP requirement, a sparse probing pulse train with its transmitting time random is designed. After matched filtering, the slow-time echo signals of the micromotion target can be viewed as randomly sparse sampling of Doppler spectrum. Select several successive pulses to form a short-time window and the CS sensing matrix can be built according to the time stamps of these pulses. Then performing Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP), the unambiguous micro-Doppler spectrum can be obtained. The proposed algorithm is verified using the echo signals generated according to the theoretical model and the signals with micro-Doppler signature produced using the commercial electromagnetic simulation software FEKO.
Unified Analysis of Switched-Resonator Converters (2010)

A mechanism for power processing is presented, in which a certain amount of energy is transferred from the source to the output in each cycle. The result is establishing a family of resonant converters so-called switched-resonator converters. The basic nonisolated formation presented in this paper exhibits a collection of 23 simple dc-dc converters. All topologies are inherently soft switched and systematically synthesized. A plenary analysis of the proposed converters is presented.
The Limits of European Integration (1996)

The legal integration of Europe is limited, and it is limited for the same reasons as the European constitution is, as we have just seen, also limited. The very term ‘integration’ seems to imply progress towards some given end. And yet, in today’s Europe there is no such given end. If there is progress, it is uncertain and not defined by any clear direction or impetus. There is no direction because there is no ultimate destination which the member states, in a corporate sense, are prepared to admit. The mythology of European integration is, at once, also the limitation of European integration. The experience of legal integration, like the experience of political integration, has been no more confused and confusing than in the UK. This chapter takes a particular look at this experience so that the extent of these limitations, or constitutional margins, can be more clearly defined.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Major Depressive Disorder (2009)

Patients with major depressive disorder have high rates of cardiovascular disease and other medical comorbidity. Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly those found in fish and seafood, have cardiovascular health benefits and may play an adjunctive role in the treatment of mood disorders. However, existing studies on omega-3 fatty acids in depression have limitations such as small sample sizes and a wide variance in study design, and results regarding efficacy are mixed. The preponderance of data from placebo-controlled treatment studies suggests that omega-3 fatty acids are a reasonable augmentation strategy for the treatment of major depressive disorder. More research is necessary before omega-3 supplements can be recommended as monotherapy for the treatment of depression. For many individuals with major depressive disorder, augmentation with omega-3 fatty acids should be considered, as general health benefits are well established and adjunctive use is low risk.
Selective Tumor Targeting by the Hypoxia-Activated Prodrug AQ4N Blocks Tumor Growth and Metastasis in Preclinical Models of Pancreatic Cancer (2007)

The application of soy isoflavones for subjective symptoms and objective signs of vaginal atrophy in menopause: A systematic review of randomised controlled trials (2015)

Vaginal atrophy is a common complaint among many women in their menopause, presenting with a cluster of symptoms including dryness, itching, burning/soreness, discharge, irritation and painful intercourse. We searched for existing pertinent data in three chief registries. Specified time brackets included 1996-2013 for Medline, 1990-2013 for Scopus and 2013 for Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (issue 1). Of 110 potentially relevant publications, 17 and 9 trials (7 on maturation value and 2 on vaginal dryness) were selected for qualitative and quantitative analysis, respectively. In general, soy isoflavones seem to improve vaginal symptoms as opposed to control arms. Soy isoflavones were also shown to be more efficacious in quantitative analysis, though this was statistically non-significant. Standardised difference in means of maturation value change was 0.072 (95% confidence interval [CI]: - 0.42 to 0.57), p = 0.777; heterogeneity P = 0.00; I(2) = 85.15%. Difference in means of vaginal dryness was - 0.204 (95% CI: - 0.28 to - 0.126), p < 0.001; heterogeneity P = 0.423; I(2) = 0.00. Soy isoflavones may relieve vaginal symptoms during menopause; nevertheless beneficial effects still remain uncertain due to possible publication bias or vast heterogeneity of the selected studies. Further studies with consistency in design as well as statistics are warranted.
Ensuring security and privacy in a personalized mobile environment (2010)

Services in a mobile environment are based on the locations of mobile users. Personalization, based on the profiles of mobile users, significantly increases the value of such services. However, they pose significant security and privacy challenges; ensuring security and privacy for a personalized mobile environment in an efficient manner is the primary objective of this dissertation. Often, access control requirements in a mobile environment are based on the spatiotemporal attributes of mobile users, resources to be protected, profiles of users, or all of these. Evaluating an access request incurs significant overhead as it requires searching for the relevant moving objects that satisfy the query as well as the applicable security policies. In this dissertation, we have developed a unified index structure capable of indexing mobile objects, security policies and profiles, in a single index. This enables the efficient enforcement of access control. Another contribution is to extend the enforcement of access control to the case where instead of the exact location, only the approximate location of moving objects is maintained. To this end, the dissertation proposes an authorization model that takes the uncertainty of location measures into consideration for specifying and evaluating access control policies. Another pressing issue in delivering mobile services is protecting the privacy of users. In this dissertation, we have proposed a comprehensive family of anonymity models, based on k-anonymity, that incorporates location, direction, as well as profile information. We have also developed anonymization algorithms that can constrain both the generalization of the location as well as that of profiles and direction, while meeting the quality of service requirements. In addition, we have proposed a partitioning method that can limit tracking of the service requestor while continuously receiving a service, thus achieving enhanced level of both privacy and quality of service.
