Development and Implementation of a Synchrophasor Estimator Capable of Measurements Under Dynamic Conditions (2008)

The classical two-parameter Fourier algorithm for computing synchrophasors is appropriate when the underlying voltage and current waveforms are sinusoids with constant amplitude and phase angle and with a frequency equal to the assumed value. Synchrophasor measurements, however, are applied in power systems to track dynamic conditions where, by definition, currents and voltages, though resembling sine-waves, exhibit changes in their magnitudes and vectorial positions. This paper presents a novel algorithm for estimating synchrophasors under such dynamic conditions. In contrast to the classical Fourier algorithm, our model is a complex Taylor expansion, yielding several parameters in the model to be estimated. Four- and six-parameter models are presented corresponding to first and second order Taylor expansions. This paper derives a compensation method for canceling the error in the classical Fourier algorithm that arises under dynamic conditions, shows comparative simulation and test results and describes an efficient implementation. Application of the error cancellation method to other phasor algorithms and extending the technique to higher order Taylor expansions, are discussed. Implementation of synchrophasor measurements on protection and control intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) is discussed, and solutions are presented that allow for secure integration.
A CRITIQUE OF COMPARTMENTAL ANALYSIS (1981)

In 10 years, fro.m 1969 thro.ugh 1978, 341 articles were indexed under compartmental analysis. There must be many times that number in which data were analyzed by compartmental analysis but are no.t retrieved by searching o.nly under that rubric. This article is no.t a review o.f tho.se reports; it is a critique of uses and underlying co.ncepts of compartmental analysis. Most of the appraisal o.f compartmental analy­ sis in this critique has been made previo.usly by o.thers; there have been co.nferences and sympo.sia (4, 49) o.n the subject, as well as many thoughtful individual studies. Despite the fact that caveats were pub­ lished-some repeatedly-Io.ng eno.ugh ago. to. be well-kno.wn, even a casual thumbing thro.ugh pages o.f current jo.urnals sho.ws that misco.n­ ceptions and misapplicatio.ns persist. This c ritique is meant to. be helpful to. autho.rs, edito.rs, and referees o.f manuscripts, but experience suggests that the aim will no.t be entirely fulfilled. There are twO. recent examples in related areas. In 1965, Do.wd & Riggs (11), after analysis of the three co.mmon methods for graphic estimate of parameters of enzyme kinetics, concluded that the Lineweaver-Burk plo.t was most likely to' mislead. Despite this publica­ tion in a widely distributed journal of biochemistry, an informal count among recent publications showed that the Lineweaver-Burk plot was still used most often. The second example is a repo.rt by Nerby et al (32) that more than 50 papers concerning nonlinear Scatchard plots, pub­ lished in 5 well-regarded journals during a 4-year period, misinterpreted the data, usually owing to incorrect graphic analysis, despite the fact that descriptions and examples of correct procedure have appeared in print repeatedly since at least 1942.
Ukrainian Bankruptcy Law (1997)

Accordingly, the Journal is relying on the author's representations regarding the accuracy of any citations to these sources.1. Postponing bankruptcy usually means continuing to subsidize an enterprise from the State budget or refraining from collecting long-overdue taxes, however, sometimes postponement takes a more direct form.For example, a member of the Supreme Arbitrazh Court recently complained publicly about a letter received from the Cabinet of Ministers, demanding the postponement of all pending bankruptcy proceedings against enterprises in the coal mining industry.
Change-Encryption: Encryption Using Spatiotemporal Information as a Function Model (2020)

Change-Encryption is a distributed layer-by-layer symmetric encryption technology combined with blockchain technology and cryptography. The approach relies on the identity information of all the nodes in the blockchain, and the time, space, and other attributes are used as encryption parameters to enable repeated encryption. In this work, the identity information of the data sender and receiver is considered as the key, and the spatial and identity information values of the node are considered as dynamic encryption parameters to increase the uncertainty of decryption, thereby solving the data security problem of the blockchain technology during communication. In addition, the self-identification principle of the data receiver, reduction principle of the data sender, and two unique countermeasures employed in the Change-Encryption are introduced in detail. The findings demonstrate the value of the proposed approach.
ELECTRONIC AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF RARE-EARTH CHALCOGENIDES AND PNICTIDES (2009)

The dielectric description of crystal ionicity deve loped by Phillips and Van Vechten has been successfully employed in a wide range of semi-conductors and insulators. However, the applicability of this Phillips and Van Vech ten (P.V.V) dielectric analysis has been limited to only simple A N B 8-N compounds. An empirical relationship previously in troduced by the authors, relating the electronic properties of zinc blende a nd complex structured solids to their product of io nic charges, is shown to be applicable with minor modifications to the rock salt structured solids. An alternative approach to the well-known P.V.V. theory has been evolved in order to understand the electronic and optical properties such as heteropol ar gap (E c), average energy gap (E g), crystal ionicity (f i) and optical dielectric constants ( e∞) of REX (RE = rare earth metals, X = S, Se, Te, P, As and Sb). The estimation is based on the approximate inverse relationship between the electronic pro perties and the product of ionic charges of these compounds. The evaluated values are in better agreement with the mod ified P.V.V. theory.
Factor VII/VIIa: a new antigen in the anti‐phospholipid antibody syndrome (2003)

We investigated antibodies to factor VII/VIIa (FVII/VIIa) and five other common target antigens in 33 patients with a history of anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS) and 50 healthy controls using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. We found that antibody to FVII/VIIa, a previously unrecognized and common antigen in APS, was present in 67% of patients. Frequencies of antibodies to other target antigens were: anti-beta-2 glycoprotein 1 (anti-beta 2GP1), 88%; anti-cardiolipin (anti-CL), 76%; anti-phosphatidylethanolamine (anti-PE), 67%; anti-phosphatidylserine (anti-PS), 64%; and anti-phosphatidylcholine (anti-PC), 59%. Most patients had antibodies against multiple antigens, but a few were positive for only anti-beta 2GP1 (12%) or anti-CL (3%). Positivity for anti-FVII/VIIa was significantly associated with positivity for anti-PE, anti-PS and/or anti-PC (P < 0.05) but not anti-beta 2GP1. When frequencies of immunoglobulin G (IgG) versus immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies were compared, anti-beta 2GP1 IgG correlated with the lupus anticoagulant (P < 0.05) and was significantly more prevalent than IgM, but the reverse was seen for all other antigens. In arterial thrombosis, IgM was more prevalent for all antigens, and was significantly associated with FVII/VIIa, PE and PS, whereas in venous thrombosis, IgG was frequently prevalent, especially in association with FVII/VIIa, beta 2GP1 and CL. In summary, FVII/VIIa is a new and common antigen in APS. Anti-FVII/VIIa is often associated with anti-PE, anti-PS and anti-PC. The IgM class is more frequently associated with arterial thrombosis and the IgG class with venous thrombosis.
Auxiliary Loss Multimodal GRU Model in Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (2018)

Audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) utilizes both audio and video modalities for the robust automatic speech recognition. Most deep neural network (DNN) has achieved promising performances in AVSR owing to its generalized and nonlinear mapping ability. However, these DNN models have two main disadvantages: 1) the first disadvantage is that most models alleviate the AVSR problems neglecting the fact that the frames are correlated; and 2) the second disadvantage is the feature learned by the mentioned models is not credible. This is because the joint representation learned by the fusion fails to consider the specific information of categories, and the discriminative information is sparse, while the noise, reverberation, irrelevant image objection, and background are redundancy. Aiming at relieving these disadvantages, we propose the auxiliary loss multimodal GRU (alm-GRU) model including three parts: feature extraction, data augmentation, and fusion & recognition. The feature extraction and data augmentation are a complete effective solution for the processing raw complete video and training, and precondition for later core part: fusion & recognition using alm-GRU equipped with a novel loss which is an end-to-end network combining both fusion and recognition, furthermore considering the modal and temporal information. The experiments show the superiority of our model and necessity of the data augmentation and generative component in the benchmark data sets.
Benzopyrans, Biphenyls and Xanthones from the Root of<i>Garcinia linii</i>and their Activity against<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> (2006)

A new benzopyran, (S)-3-hydroxygarcibenzopyran, and three new biphenyls, garcibiphenyl C, garcibiphenyl D, garcibiphenyl E, together with thirteen known compounds have been additionally isolated from the root of Garcinia linii. The structures of these new compounds were determined through spectral analyses. Among the isolates, 1,7-dihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthone and 1,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthone showed antitubercular activities with MICs of 3.1 +/- 0.5 and 6.3 +/- 1.0 microg/mL against Mycobacterium tuberculosis 90-221,387 in vitro, respectively.
Wind Turbine Current-Source Converter Providing Reactive Power Control and Reduced Harmonics (2007)

This paper presents a current-source inverter topology that is suitable for multi-megawatt wind turbines. The proposed scheme utilizes two series-connected three-phase inverters that employ fully controllable switches and a proper interconnection transformer with the mains. In order to improve the efficiency and to allow the use of high-power devices, the inverters are switched at the mains frequency. The axial-flux permanent-magnet (PM) generator is directly coupled to the turbine (gearless solution), and its design reduces the dependence of the output voltage on the load current. The overall control technique allows to independently impose two desired quantities that can be selected out of the set of three composed of: 1) the total average voltage at the dc side of the inverters, which is directly related to the turbine speed; 2) the fundamental power factor at the mains interconnection point, which can be chosen unitary, leading, or lagging; and 3) the amplitude of one desired component of the spectrum of the mains line currents. The two chosen quantities univocally determine the third one. At specific operating points of the turbine, a significant reduction of the fifth and seventh harmonics can already be achieved without additional filters and/or active harmonic compensation. Nevertheless, the introduction of an active harmonic compensator is necessary to provide the required harmonic reduction (also up to higher orders) more independently and on a wider range of operating conditions. The almost independent regulation of the dc-link current allows further control of the average generator torque. Experimental results that are obtained from a 10-kW prototype with an axial-flux PM generator are presented.

Acteoside of Callicarpa dichotoma Attenuates Scopolamine-Induced Memory Impairments (2006)

We previously reported that ten phenylethanoid glycosides including acteoside isolated from the leaves and twigs of Callicarpa dichotoma significantly attenuated glutamate-induced neurotoxicity. In the present study, we examined anti-amnesic activity of acteoside using scopolamine-induced (1 mg/kg body weight, s.c.) amnesic mice with both passive avoidance and Morris water maze tests. Acute oral treatment (single administration prior to scopolamine treatment) of mice with acteoside (1.0, 2.5 mg/kg body weight) significantly mitigated scopolamine-induced memory deficits in the passive avoidance test. It is interesting to note that prolonged oral daily treatment of mice with much lower amount (0.1 mg/kg body weight) of acteoside for 10 d reversed the scopolamine-induced memory deficits. In the Morris water maze, prolonged oral treatment with acteoside (prolonged daily administration of 1.0 mg/kg body weight for 10 d) significantly ameliorated scopolamine-induced memory deficits showing the formation of long-term and/or short-term spatial memory. We suggest, therefore, that acteoside has anti-amnesic activity that may ultimately hold significant therapeutic value in alleviating certain memory impairment observed in Alzheimer's disease.
On the repeatability of the local reference frame for partial shape matching (2011)

We investigate on local reference frames (LRF) deployed with 3D descriptors to achieve invariance to objects' pose. We address the task of matching together partial views of surfaces and propose an experimental study on a large corpus of real data which allows for clearly ranking existing LRF proposals based on their repeatability. Then, drawing inspiration from analysis of the experimental findings, we formulate a new proposal which, in particular, peculiarly includes a procedure aimed at estimating a repeatable LRF also at border features, which is very important when matching partial views of surfaces. Experiments show that the new proposal neatly outperforms existing methods in terms of repeatability, is computationally very efficient and provide relevant benefits in practical applications
Identification of a common variant at the NOS1AP locus strongly associated to QT-interval duration (2008)

QT-interval prolongation is an electrophysiologic phenomenon associated with sudden cardiac death. The QT-interval in the general population is approximately 35% heritable. In genome-wide association studies, a common variant (rs10494366T > G) within the nitric oxide synthase 1 adaptor protein (NOS1AP) gene was identified and consistently associated with QT-interval duration. Yet, the causal variant remains unclear. Therefore, we performed fine mapping of the association of the NOS1AP locus with QT-interval within the Rotterdam Study, a population-based, prospective cohort study of individuals of > or =55 years of age. First, we tested the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in or within +/-100 kb of the NOS1AP gene with QT-interval duration, using sex-specific unstandardized residuals after regression on age and RR-interval, in 385 individuals using the combined set of SNPs present in the Affymetrix 500k and Illumina 550k chip arrays. Subsequently, we examined correspondence of the association signals in 4606 individuals using the Illumina 550k array. A C-to-T SNP at chromosome 1 position 160300514 (rs12143842, T-allele frequency = 24%) was associated with a QT-interval duration increase of 4.4 ms per additional T-allele (P = 4.4 x 10(-28)). For comparison, the most strongly associated variant to date, rs10494366T > G, was associated with a 3.5 ms increase (P = 1.6 x 10(-23)) per additional G-allele. None of the inferred haplotypes showed a stronger effect than the individual rs12143842C > T SNP. In conclusion, we found rs12143842 6 kb upstream distance of NOS1AP to be more strongly associated to QT-interval duration than rs10494366T > G. Functional analysis of this marker is warranted.
Tissue‐Engineered Calcium Alginate Patches in the Repair of Chronic Chinchilla Tympanic Membrane Perforations (2006)

Calcium alginate tympanic membrane perforation patches offer a significant advantage in the repair of chronic perforations over traditional techniques in the chinchilla perforation model and may offer attractive opportunities in the clinical setting.
Sentence-Level Multilingual Multi-modal Embedding for Natural Language Processing (2017)

We propose a novel discriminative ranking model that learns embeddings from multilingual and multi-modal data, meaning that our model can take advantage of images and descriptions in multiple languages to improve embedding quality. To that end, we introduce an objective function that uses pairwise ranking adapted to the case of three or more input sources. We compare our model against different baselines, and evaluate the robustness of our embeddings on image-sentence ranking (ISR), semantic textual similarity (STS), and neural machine translation (NMT). We find that the additional multilingual signals lead to improvements on all three tasks, and we highlight that our model can be used to consistently improve the adequacy of translations generated with NMT models when re-ranking n-best lists.
Visual detection of particulates in x‐ray images of processed meat products (1996)

A study was conducted to test the efficacy of detecting particulate contaminants in processed meat samples by visual observation of line-scanned x-ray images. Six hundred field-collected processedproduct samples were scanned at 230 cm2/s using 0.5 X 0.5-mm resolution and 50 kV, 13 mA excitation. The x-ray images were image corrected, digitally stored, and inspected off-line, using interactive image enhancement. Forty percent of the samples were spiked with added contaminants to establish the visual recognition of contaminants as a function of sample thickness (1 to 10 cm), texture of the x-ray image (smooth/ textured), spike composition (wood/bone/glass), size (0.1 to 0.4 cm), and shape (splinter/round). The results were analyzed using a maximum likelihood logistic regression method. In packages less than 6 cm thick, 0.2-cm-thick bone chips were easily recognized, 0.1-cm glass splinters were recognized with some difficulty, while 0.4-cm-thick wood was generally missed. Operational feasibility in a time-constrained setting was confirmed. One half percent of the samples arriving from the field contained bone slivers >1 cm long, 1/2% contained metallic material, while 4% contained particulates exceeding 0.3 cm in size. All of the latter appeared to be bone fragments.
Protein‐free culture medium containing polyvinylalcohol, vitamins, and amino acids supports development of eight‐cell hamster embryos to hatching blastocysts (1988)

In vitro development of eight-cell hamster embryos to hatching blastocysts requires the presence of amino acids and a group of water-soluble vitamins in the culture medium. The present studies investigated the effect of type of macromolecule on blastocyst hatching and on the requirement for vitamins. Embryos were cultured for 3 days in the presence of the synthetic macromolecule polyvinylalcohol (PVA) and of different types of bovine serum albumin (BSA), both with and without vitamins. The results showed th at eight-cell embryos develop to hatching blastocysts in the presence of vitamins and amino acids with PVA as the only macromolecule in the medium. The presence of certain types of BSA reduced but did not eliminate the need for vitamins. Glutamine alone was as efficient as a complete amino acid supplement in supporting blastocyst hatching. These results demonstrate for the first time that eight-cell hamster embryos can be cultured to hatching blastocysts in a chemically defined medium.

CA/TG sequence at the 5' end of oligo(A)-tracts strongly modulates DNA curvature. (1994)

An analysis of the base pair doublet geometries in available crystal structures indicates that the often reported intrinsic curvature of DNA containing oligo-(d(A).d(T)) tracts may also depend on the nature of the flanking sequences. The presence of CA/TG doublet in particular at the 5' end of these tracts is expected to enhance their intrinsic bending property. To test this proposition, three oligonucleotides, d(GAAAAAC-CCCCC), d(CCCCCCAAAAAG), d(GAAAAATTTTTC), and their complementary sequences were synthesized to study the effect of various flanking sequences, at the 5' and 3' ends of the A-tracts, on the curvature of DNA in solution. An analysis of the polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic mobilities of these sequences under different conditions of salts and temperatures (below their melting points) clearly showed that the oligomer with CA/TG sequence in the center was always more retarded than the oligomer with AC/GT sequence, as well as the oligomer with AT/AT sequence. Hydroxyl radical probing of the sequences with AC/GT and CA/TG doublet junctions gives a similar cutting pattern in the A-tracts, which is quite different from that in the C-tracts, indicating that the oligo(A)-tracts have similar structures in the two oligomers. KMnO4 probing shows that the oligomer with a CA/TG doublet junction forms a kink that is responsible for its inherent curvature and unusual electrophoretic mobility. UV melting shows a reduced thermal stability of the duplex with CA/TG doublet junction, and circular dichroism (CD) studies indicate that a premelting transition occurs in the oligomer with CA/TG doublet step before global melting but not in the oligomer with AC/GT doublet step, which may correspond to thermally induced unbending of the oligomer. These observations indicate that the CA/TG doublet junction at the 5' end of the oligo(A)-tract has a crucial role in modulating the overall curvature in DNA.
