The Measurement of Heart Rate Variability Spectra with the Help of a Personal Computer (1982)

The analysis of fluctuations in heart rate or heart rate variability (HRV) has found applications in, among others, the study of the neural cardiovascular system and ergonomic psychology. In particular, the study of the frequency components of HRV is becoming increasingly important. A method for the computation of HRV spectra directly from the heart beat event series as derived from the electrocardiogram has been developed. Because of the computational efficiency achieved, this method is implemented on a personal computer. Apart from an external QRS detector, a completely stand-alone system is realized. User interaction takes place on a menu card display basis. The system can operate at both real time and up to eightfold increased speed. The resultant spectra are displayed as histograms. Different ways of smoothing and segment averaging are possible.
Fracture Characteristics of RC Beams Reinforced with GFSP (2007)

This paper is experimental investigation for failure characteristics and performance of a RC beams strengthened with GFSP which were developed for improvement of the early debonding problems in the externally bonded FRP systems. To represent damages and load conditions of the existing beam, pre-cracks and repeating loads are adopted for experimental parameters. In this experiment, it is confirmed that strengthening with GFSP is a very effective strengthening method for an increase in strength, a decrease in deflection, a control of the crack. But it shown that the design of the beams to be strengthened with GFSP should be consider a brittle behavior of the grass fiber on the flexural capacity.
Human cytomegalovirus UL23 inhibits transcription of interferon-γ stimulated genes and blocks antiviral interferon-γ responses by interacting with human N-myc interactor protein (2018)

Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) represents one of the most important innate immunity responses in a host to combat infections of many human viruses including human herpesviruses. Human N-myc interactor (Nmi) protein, which has been shown to interact with signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins including STAT1, is important for the activation of IFN-γ induced STAT1-dependent transcription of many genes responsible for IFN-γ immune responses. However, no proteins encoded by herpesviruses have been reported to interact with Nmi and inhibit Nmi-mediated activation of IFN-γ immune responses to achieve immune evasion from IFN-γ responses. In this study, we show strong evidence that the UL23 protein of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a human herpesvirus, specifically interacts with Nmi. This interaction was identified through a yeast two-hybrid screen and co-immunoprecipitation in human cells. We observed that Nmi, when bound to UL23, was not associated with STAT1, suggesting that UL23 binding of Nmi disrupts the interaction of Nmi with STAT1. In cells overexpressing UL23, we observed (a) significantly reduced levels of Nmi and STAT1 in the nuclei, the sites where these proteins act to induce transcription of IFN-γ stimulated genes, and (b) decreased levels of the induction of the transcription of IFN-γ stimulated genes. UL23-deficient HCMV mutants induced higher transcription of IFN-γ stimulated genes and exhibited lower titers than parental and control revertant viruses expressing functional UL23 in IFN-γ treated cells. Thus, UL23 appears to interact directly with Nmi and inhibit nuclear translocation of Nmi and its associated protein STAT1, leading to a decrease of IFN-γ induced responses and an increase of viral resistance to IFN-γ. Our results further highlight the roles of UL23-Nmi interactions in facilitating viral immune escape from IFN-γ responses and enhancing viral resistance to IFN antiviral effects.
Fast Fingerprint Classification with Deep Neural Networks (2017)

Reducing the number of comparisons in automated fingerprint identification systems is essential when dealing with a large database. Fingerprint classification allows to achieve this goal by dividing fingerprints into several categories, but it presents still some challenges due to the large intra-class variations and the small inter-class variations. The vast majority of the previous methods uses global characteristics, in particular the orientation image, as features of a classifier. This makes the feature extraction stage highly dependent on preprocessing techniques and usually computationally expensive. In this work we evaluate the performance of two pre-trained convolutional neural networks fine-tuned on the NIST SD4 benchmark database. The obtained results show that this approach is comparable with other results in the literature, with the advantage of a fast feature extraction stage.
NMR Imaging of Pore Structures in Limestones (1993)

Summary Nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) imaging was used to examine pore structures and liquid flow paths in rocks nonde-structively. Various pore types were recognized in a spectrum of limestones, including growth-framework, moldic, vuggy, between-particle, and within-particle porosities. Pore connectivity was examined by fluid displacement and flow-weighted and 3D imaging.
Modellazione delle non linearità in acustica musicale ed elettroacustica mediante Kernel di Volterra (2016)

La modellazione di apparati elettroacustici e strumenti musicali considera da\nnumerosi anni il comportamento della cassa armonica fondamentale per la\ndeterminazione delle caratteristiche sonore di tali apparati. La determinazione delle\ncarattieristiche non lineari della produzione e propagazione del suono consente di\ndefinire acusticamente differenze non riproducibili con metodi basati sulla risposta\nall’impulso lineare. In questo lavoro viene presentato un metodo che consente di\nmodellizzare le distorsioni non lineari degli strumenti musicali mediante\napprossimazione in serie di Volterra, e di ricreare sinteticamente tali carattestistiche non\nlineari su un segnale “pulito
Anonymization of set-valued data via top-down, local generalization (2009)

Set-valued data, in which a set of values are associated with an individual, is common in databases ranging from market basket data, to medical databases of patients' symptoms and behaviors, to query engine search logs. Anonymizing this data is important if we are to reconcile the conflicting demands arising from the desire to release the data for study and the desire to protect the privacy of individuals represented in the data. Unfortunately, the bulk of existing anonymization techniques, which were developed for scenarios in which each individual is associated with only one sensitive value, are not well-suited for set-valued data. In this paper we propose a top-down, partition-based approach to anonymizing set-valued data that scales linearly with the input size and scores well on an information-loss data quality metric. We further note that our technique can be applied to anonymize the infamous AOL query logs, and discuss the merits and challenges in anonymizing query logs using our approach.

The imaging continuum: bench to biomarkers to diagnostics (2007)

Abstract Innovation in basic and applied science has brought radiotracers to fruition as diagnostics. Non‐invasive, longitudinal, and quantifiable molecular imaging is the key to diagnosing and monitoring numerous illnesses, with more to come from characterization of the clinical relevance of findings from genomics research. Radiotracers enable real‐time in vivo studies of the effects of drug candidates on receptors, pathways, pharmacodynamics, and clinically relevant endpoints, thereby providing both early detection of pathophysiology to enable early intervention, and then monitoring of treatment responses to enable individualization of treatment regimens. We review developments which have translated imaging from ‘bench to bedside’, or ‘biomarkers to diagnostics’. Notable developments include (1) synthesis methods for rapid 11 C labeling of biomolecules to high specific radioactivity; (2) ligand‐binding assays for screening molecular imaging agents rather than drugs; (3) in vivo imaging of radiotracers in animals; (4) discovering the imaging advantages of 99m Tc, 11 C, and 18 F; (5) co‐registration and automated quantitative assessment of high spatial resolution CT and MR images with molecular images from PET for longitudinal studies of treatment effect.

Assessing the Infectivity of Commercial Mycorrhizal Inoculants in Plant Nursery Conditions (2004)

Abstract The infectivity of ten commercial mycorrhizal inoculants was examined in nursery conditions. Corn plants were grown in a soil-based medium and in two different soilless substrates, a potting mix prepared with redwood bark, pine sawdust, calcined clay and sand, and the commercial Sunshine #5 mix, mainly composed of Canadian sphagnum peat moss. The percentage of mycorrhizal colonization obtained with the different mycorrhizal inoculants ranged from 0 to 50%. This variation might reflect the presence or absence of viable propagules, the difference in the recommended rates applied as well as the difference in the content and type of infective propagules of each product. However, the infectivity of each mycorrhizal inoculant was also influenced by the growing media. Two products promoted higher values of mycorrhizal colonization in the Sunshine mix, three in the nursery mix and one in the soil-based medium. Mycorrhizal colonization did not enhance plant growth. Only the plants inoculated with the products that did not promote mycorrhizal colonization increased their growth relative to the non-inoculated controls, suggesting the presence of other growth promoters in the inoculum products. Based on these results, nurseries should conduct preliminary tests to determine which inoculants will perform in their potting mixes to assure the best fit of inoculum with their particular conditions.
An ontology-driven approach to model SIEM information and operations using the SWRL formalism (2012)

The management of security events, from the risk analysis to the selection of appropriate countermeasures, has become a major concern for security analysts and IT administrators. Furthermore, the fact that network and system devices are heterogeneous, increases the difficulty of these administrative tasks. This paper introduces an ontology-driven approach to address the aforementioned problems. The proposed model takes into account two aspects: the information and the operations that are manipulated by SIEM environments in order to reach the desired goals. The model uses ontologies to provide simplicity on the description of concepts, relationships and instances of the security domain. The semantics web rule languages are used to describe the logic rules needed to infer relationships among individuals and classes. A case study on Botnets is presented at the end of this paper to illustrate a concrete utilisation of our model.
Oxidative Cleavage Reaction of 3-Substituted Indoles Catalyzed by CuCl–Pyridine Complex under Oxygen (1981)

Abstract Oxidative cleavage of 3-methylindole using a catalytic amount of copper(II) salts with added pyridine under an oxygen atmosphere was studied. Smooth cleavage of 3-methylindole took place to give 2-formamidoacetophenone in 73–80% yield, whereas exclusive formation of a hydrate compound derived from 3,3′-dimethyl-3,3′-bi-3H-indole resulted under anaerobic conditions. Clean oxidative cleavage of N-acetyltryptamine, methyl 3-indolylacetate, and methyl 2-acetamido-3-(3-indolyl)propionate was also achieved, constituting a mimic of tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase.
Sodium <i>N</i>-Chlorobenzenesulfonamide as a Selective Oxidant for Hexosamines in Alkaline Medium:  A Kinetic and Mechanistic Study (1998)

Oxidation of D-mannosamine (1), D-glucosamine (2), and D-galctosamine (3) by sodium N-chlorobenzenesulfonamide or chloramine-B (CAB) at 313 K is followed by a shortening of carbon chain and obeys the rate law, rate = k[CAB][sugar][HO(-)](x)(), where x is less than unity. The products are arabinonic acid, ribonic acid, and erythronic acid for 1 and 2 with smaller amounts of glyceric and hexonic acids, while lyxonic and threonic acids are predominant in the oxidation of 3 with smaller amounts of glyceric and hexonic acids. Proton inventory studies made in a H(2)O-D(2)O mixture point toward a single transition state. In the proposed mechanism the alkoxy anion (S(-)) of the hexosamine formed in a base-catalyzed reaction at C-1 carbon is subjected to an electrophilic rate-limiting attack by Cl(+) of the oxidant. The hexonic acid formed is decarboxylated with loss of ammonia to form the respective pentose, which is further converted into the corresponding pentonic acid. The breaking of the bond between C-1 and C-2 carbons in pentose yields tetronic acids. The thermodynamic parameters for sugar alkoxy anion formation and activation parameters for the rate-limiting step have been evaluated.
A POTENT INHIBITOR OF NEURITE OUTGROWTH THAT PREDOMINATES IN THE EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX OF REACTIVE ASTROCYTES (1996)

In a model of astrogliosis in vitro, cultured cortical astrocytes were triggered into a functionally reactive state by an immobilized fragment of the beta-amyloid peptide. Induced astrocytes produced an extracellular matrix that inhibited the outgrowth of embryonic CNS axons. Within the extracellular matrix deposited by reactive astrocytes, we found an overall increase in the deposition of chondroitin sulphate that accounted for the inhibition. Specifically, we have detected an increased biosynthesis of a small chondroitin/heparan sulphate proteoglycan that is a potent inhibitor of axon outgrowth. We further suggest that this proteoglycan, or related molecules yet to be discovered, may play a role in gliosis-mediated regenerative failure of CNS axons.

Dynamic Memories with Fast Random and Sequential Access (1975)

This paper treats two dynamic memories, one proposed by Aho and Ullman and the other proposed by Stone. The first memory has the property that every item is accessible in 0 (log2 N) steps, and that after access to the first two items of a block of contiguous items, each successive item can be accessed in unit time. In this paper we give a new derivation of the properties, and indicate minor variations and improvements of the memory-access algorithm.
Introduction (2005)

Upon joining a cult, the story goes, one dies to everything one knows. One leaves family and friends and embarks on a new life which is completely incomprehensible from the outside. The member follows the cult blindly, or at least it seems so to outside observers. Images of Jonestown, Waco and the Solar Temple deaths still loom large and inform much of the discourse that surrounds modern day movements. Yet the stories that surround ‘cults’ often obscure rather than reveal the processes within them. Allegations abound of abuse and brainwashing, financial corruption and deception, deprivation of will and loss of autonomy. Indeed, these myths inform popular definitions of ‘cults’. It is in this way that we come to understand and rationalise ‘cults’ as a radical difference in our society. This rationalisation also influences legislative and regulatory bodies in so far as the activities of ‘cults’ are restricted and sometimes forbidden. Because of this, an examination of the bases of views about ‘cults’ and how they operate is timely.
Cytosolic clearance of replication-deficient mutants reveals<i><i>Francisella tularensis</i></i>interactions with the autophagic pathway (2012)

Cytosolic bacterial pathogens must evade intracellular innate immune recognition and clearance systems such as autophagy to ensure their survival and proliferation. The intracellular cycle of the bacterium Francisella tularensis is characterized by rapid phagosomal escape followed by extensive proliferation in the macrophage cytoplasm. Cytosolic replication, but not phagosomal escape, requires the locus FTT0369c, which encodes the dipA gene (deficient in intracellular replication A). Here, we show that a replication-deficient, ∆dipA mutant of the prototypical SchuS4 strain is eventually captured from the cytosol of murine and human macrophages into double-membrane vacuoles displaying the late endosomal marker, LAMP1, and the autophagy-associated protein, LC3, coinciding with a reduction in viable intracellular bacteria. Capture of SchuS4ΔdipA was not dipA-specific as other replication-deficient bacteria, such as chloramphenicol-treated SchuS4 and a purine auxotroph mutant SchuS4ΔpurMCD, were similarly targeted to autophagic vacuoles. Vacuoles containing replication-deficient bacteria were labeled with ubiquitin and the autophagy receptors SQSTM1/p62 and NBR1, and their formation was decreased in macrophages from either ATG5-, LC3B- or SQSTM1-deficient mice, indicating recognition by the ubiquitin-SQSTM1-LC3 pathway. While a fraction of both the wild-type and the replication-impaired strains were ubiquitinated and recruited SQSTM1, only the replication-defective strains progressed to autophagic capture, suggesting that wild-type Francisella interferes with the autophagic cascade. Survival of replication-deficient strains was not restored in autophagy-deficient macrophages, as these bacteria died in the cytosol prior to autophagic capture. Collectively, our results demonstrate that replication-impaired strains of Francisella are cleared by autophagy, while replication-competent bacteria seem to interfere with autophagic recognition, therefore ensuring survival and proliferation.

A New Position Location System Using DTV Transmitter Identification Watermark Signals (2006)

A new position location technique using the transmitter identification (TxID) RF watermark in the digital TV (DTV) signals is proposed in this paper. Conventional global positioning system (GPS) usually does not work well inside buildings due to the high frequency and weak field strength of the signal. In contrast to the GPS, the DTV signals are received from transmitters at relatively short distance, while the broadcast transmitters operate at levels up to the megawatts effective radiated power (ERP). Also the RF frequency of the DTV signal is much lower than the GPS, which makes it easier for the signal to penetrate buildings and other objects. The proposed position location system based on DTV TxID signal is presented in this paper. Practical receiver implementation issues including nonideal correlation and synchronization are analyzed and discussed. Performance of the proposed technique is evaluated through Monte Carlo simulations and compared with other existing position location systems. Possible ways to improve the accuracy of the new position location system is discussed.
