Active Learning for Decision Making (2004)

This paper addresses focused information acquisition for predictive data mining. As businesses strive to cater to the preferences of individual consumers, they often employ predictive models to customize marketing efforts. Building accurate models requires information about consumer preferences that often is costly to acquire. Prior research has introduced many “active learning ” policies for identifying information that is particularly useful for model induction, the goal being to reduce the acquisition cost necessary to induce a model with a given accuracy. However, predictive models often are used as part of a decision-making process, and costly improvements in model accuracy do not always result in better decisions. This paper develops a new approach for active information acquisition that targets decision-making specifically. The method we introduce departs from the traditional error-reducing paradigm and places emphasis on acquisitions that are more likely to affect decision-making. Empirical evaluations with direct marketing data demonstrate that for a fixed information acquisition cost the method significantly improves the targeting decisions. The method is designed to be generic—not based on a single model or induction algorithm—and we show that it can be applied effectively to various predictive modeling techniques.
Efficient tracking of eigenspaces and its application to eigenbeamforming (2004)

To achieve high performance for MIMO wireless systems with multiple transmit and receive antennas a detailed understanding of the characteristics of the eigenspace of the channel is essential. It represents the spatial characteristics of the propagation scenario in general and can be expressed by different covariance matrices of the channel coefficients. In many MIMO-algorithms the knowledge of the eigenvectors and eigenvalues is required. As typical for the wireless channel, the spatial characteristics continuously change. Therefore, an efficient method for tracking the eigenspace with moderate computational complexity is required. Tracking of the eigenspace using incremental Jacobi rotations is presented and compared to other known algorithms for subspace tracking. Eigenbeamforming serves as an example, where such a tracking algorithm can be applied.
Fast, Cheap and Out of Control: a Robot Invasion of the Solar System (1989)

Complex systems and complex missions take years of planning and force launches to become incredibly expensive. The longer the planning and the more expensive the mission, the more catastrophic if it fails. The solution has always been to plan better, add redundancy, test thoroughly and use high quality components. Based on our experience in building ground based mobile robots (legged and wheeled) we argue here for cheap, fast missions using large numbers of mass produced simple autonomous robots that are small by today&apos;s standards (1 to 2 Kg). We argue that the time between mission conception and implementation can be radically reduced, that launch mass can be slashed, that totally autonomous robots can be more reliable than ground controlled robots, and that large numbers of robots can change the tradeoff between reliability of individual components and overall mission success. Lastly, we suggest that within a few years it will be possible at modest cost to invade a planet with millions of tiny robots. 1.

eHealth and a new world online (2007)

Het internet werd interactief: de burger, de patiënt, u en ik, hebben grote invloed op de\ninhoud. Simulatietechnologie voegt er virtuele werelden aan toe. De PC - het eerste eHealth\ninstrument dat we behandelden - ondergaat een metamorfose. Er is een ‘nieuwe wereld\nonline’.\nMobiele technologie wordt gekoppeld aan dit internet. Via PDA of GSM is er\ndoorlopend verbinding. Hier komt robot technologie bij, computergestuurde gebruiksartikelen\nen nanothechnologie. De mobiele apparaatjes - het tweede eHealth instrument dat we\nbespraken - worden steeds eleganter en breder inzetbaar. Met de PC gaan ze behoren tot\n‘embedded systems’ - netwerken van geïntegreerde systemen - voor de gezondheidszorg.\nHet nieuwe internet vormt de kern, dat geldt óók voor eHealth. Het is zaak dat wij de\npotentie ervan voor de gezondheidspsychologie onderkennen, begrijpen en op verantwoorde\nwijze benutten. Die uitdaging ga ik graag aan.\nProfessionals werken hard aan de wetenschap van eHealth, aan de valkuilen van\nconsumentgedrag en het zichtbaar maken van kwaliteit en effect. Touch, trust en tech zijn daarbij even belangrijk. Zaken als anonimiteit zijn niet op voorhand negatief, al geeft dat weer\nandere problemen, met de zorgfinanciering bijvoorbeeld.\nHet staat buiten kijf dat computer en internet bruikbaar zijn voor de geneeskunde en de\npsychologische gezondheidszorg. Maar het blijft mensenwerk en wij blijven ’sociale dieren’:\nzelfs in Second Life gaat het allereerst om contact. De eisen aan een online interventie laten\nzien dat de persoonlijke benadering essentieel is. Dit zal zo blijven. Psychotherapeuten\nhoeven zich over hun werk geen zorgen te maken.
Law and Ethics in Intensive Care (2011)

There is no doubt that there is a need to focus upon the ethical, legal, and practice challenges of contemporary intensive care medicine. There are few areas of medicine that regularly manage the most vulnerable patients in a state of high dependency on life-sustaining technology for such a prolonged period. This book addresses some of the key areas of law and ethics relevant to intensive care medicine: policy and practice, adults and minors, end of life, and organ donation. The substantive chapters are divided into three sections. Section A addresses issues of competence and autonomy, section B considers issues between the doctor and patient, and section C deals with management-focused issues. Together, the chapters give a comprehensive view of the broad range of issues arising within this complex clinical context. The book is aimed at critical care professionals, but, as with any book of this kind, it will appeal to a wide range of practitioners as well as students of health care law and ethics.
Interferons-α/β- and -γ-Resistant Friend Cell Variants Exhibiting Receptor Sites for Interferons but No Induction of 2-5A Synthetase and 67K Protein Kinase (1988)

A number of Friend leukemia cell variants with a interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-resistant phenotype have been isolated. They appear resistant to the antiproliferative action of IFN-gamma and to the induction of the antiviral state assessed by Friend leukemia virus release and vesicular stomatitis virus yield. Selection was performed via a prolonged exposure to increasing amounts of highly purified recombinant IFN-gamma of wild-type Friend cells or of variant clones thereof already resistant to IFN-alpha/beta (Affabris et al., 1982, Virology 120, 441-452). Only the clones derived from IFN-alpha/beta-resistant variants showed a phenotype fully resistant to IFN-gamma treatment while keeping their previously acquired resistance to IFN-alpha/beta. These cells are not deficient in high-affinity receptors for IFN-gamma so that their resistant phenotype appears to be mediated by events distal to binding of IFN-gamma to its receptors. Furthermore, analysis of IFN-induced dsRNA-dependent 2-5A synthetase and 67K protein kinase enzymatic activities, biochemical markers for cellular responses to IFN, showed that both these activities were not induced in IFN-alpha/beta and IFN-gamma-resistant clones when treated with either type of IFN. Accordingly, no increased expression of 2-5A synthetase mRNA(s) could be detected by probing poly(A)+-enriched RNA from cells exposed to IFN-alpha/beta or IFN-gamma treatment with murine or human specific cDNAs. On the other hand, no major changes in restriction patterns of 2-5A synthetase gene(s) were observed in these variant cells by restriction endonuclease digestion and Southern blotting. In addition, analysis of 2-5A synthetase mRNA induction, performed on wild-type cells, showed that the kinetic of induction due to IFN-gamma treatment is slower than that obtained with IFN-alpha/beta.
Brain4Cars: Car That Knows Before You Do via Sensory-Fusion Deep Learning Architecture (2016)

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have made driving safer over the last decade. They prepare vehicles for unsafe road conditions and alert drivers if they perform a dangerous maneuver. However, many accidents are unavoidable because by the time drivers are alerted, it is already too late. Anticipating maneuvers beforehand can alert drivers before they perform the maneuver and also give ADAS more time to avoid or prepare for the danger. In this work we propose a vehicular sensor-rich platform and learning algorithms for maneuver anticipation. For this purpose we equip a car with cameras, Global Positioning System (GPS), and a computing device to capture the driving context from both inside and outside of the car. In order to anticipate maneuvers, we propose a sensory-fusion deep learning architecture which jointly learns to anticipate and fuse multiple sensory streams. Our architecture consists of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) that use Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units to capture long temporal dependencies. We propose a novel training procedure which allows the network to predict the future given only a partial temporal context. We introduce a diverse data set with 1180 miles of natural freeway and city driving, and show that we can anticipate maneuvers 3.5 seconds before they occur in real-time with a precision and recall of 90.5\% and 87.4\% respectively.
Maximizing hospitality learning outcomes: an integrated experiential in-class approach. (2010)

This study explored the influence of an experiential, in-class approach to the hospitality curriculum as a means of increasing its efficiency and effectiveness. Specifically, the study provides an example of how hospitality faculty might utilize an experiential, in-class approach to integrate additional hospitality-specific content along with process and content issues for working in teams and team decision-making. The results of this study support the efficient and effective use of an experiential inclass teaching method. The value of this study is twofold: (1) it provides an initial test of this approach’s usefulness and (2) it provides a forum for continued conversations of how experiential approaches can be utilized to enhance and reinforce other hospitality content and managerial skills and to bridge the gap between vocational and liberal education outcomes.

A Digital Microfluidics Platform for Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Detection (2017)

Digital microfluidics (DMF) arises as the next step in the fast-evolving field of operation platforms for molecular diagnostics. Moreover, isothermal schemes, such as loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), allow for further simplification of amplification protocols. Integrating DMF with LAMP will be at the core of a new generation of detection devices for effective molecular diagnostics at point-of-care (POC), providing simple, fast, and automated nucleic acid amplification with exceptional integration capabilities. Here, we demonstrate for the first time the role of coupling DMF and LAMP, in a dedicated device that allows straightforward mixing of LAMP reagents and target DNA, as well as optimum temperature control (reaction droplets undergo a temperature variation of just 0.3 °C, for 65 °C at the bottom plate). This device is produced using low-temperature and low-cost production processes, adaptable to disposable and flexible substrates. DMF-LAMP is performed with enhanced sensitivity without compromising reaction efficacy or losing reliability and efficiency, by LAMP-amplifying 0.5 ng/µL of target DNA in just 45 min. Moreover, on-chip LAMP was performed in 1.5 µL, a considerably lower volume than standard bench-top reactions.
Cognitive Effects of Bilingualism: How Linguistic Experience Leads to Cognitive Change (2007)

Bilinguals must have a mechanism for controlling attention to their two language systems in order to achieve fluent performance in each language without intrusions from the other. This paper examines the evidence that the experience of controlling attention to two languages boosts the development of executive control processes in childhood for bilinguals, sustains cognitive control advantages for bilinguals through adulthood and protects bilingual older adults from the decline of these processes with ageing. Future research with bilingualism should explore these effects in a broader and more multidisciplinary context in order to provide a more detailed understanding of the functioning of the bilingual mind.
Fabrication of Superhydrophobic Surfaces from Binary Colloidal Assembly (2005)

In this work, superhydrophobic surfaces were derived from binary colloidal assemblies. CaCO(3)-loaded hydrogel spheres and silica or polystyrene ones were consecutively dip-coated on silicon wafers. The former assemblies were recruited as templates for the latter self-assembly. Due to the hydrophilicity difference between silicon wafers and CaCO(3)-loaded hydrogel spheres, the region selective localization of silica or polystyrene spheres leads to irregular binary structures with a hierarchical roughness. The subsequent modification with low surface energy molecules yields a superhydrophobic surface. The heating treatment may largely enhance the mechanical stability of the resulting binary structures, which allows regeneration of the surface superhydrophobicity, providing a good durability in practice.

Finding Near-Replicas of Documents on the Web (1998)

. We consider how to efficiently compute the overlap between all pairs of web documents. This information can be used to improve web crawlers, web archivers and in the presentation of search results, among others. We report statistics on how common replication is on the web, and on the cost of computing the above information for a relatively large subset of the web -- about 24 million web pages which corresponds to about 150 Gigabytes of textual information. 1 Introduction Many documents are being replicated across the world wide web. For instance, there are several copies of JAVA FAQs and Linux manuals on the net. Many of these copies are exactly the same, while in some cases the documents are &quot;near&quot; copies. For instance, documents may be older versions of some popular document, or may be in different formats (e.g., HTML, or Postscript), or may have additional buttons, links and inlined images that make them slightly different from other versions of the document.

Shedding light on an old mystery: Thalidomide suppresses survival pathways to induce limb defects (2008)

Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the molecular mechanism of thalidomide teratogenicity, in particular regarding to limb defects. Most experimental evidence in vivo has been provided for a model that suggests the generation of oxidative stress by thalidomide with subsequent downregulation of Wnt and Akt survival pathways. As a consequence apoptosis is induced during early embryonic limb development resulting in limb truncations. Here we summarize and discuss the relevant data supporting this hypothesis. We extend this model by presenting new data demonstrating an involvement of the transcription factors Tbx5 and Sall4 in thalidomide-induced molecular pathology. Finally, we discuss a possible participation of other stress-responsive and/or pro-apoptotic transcription factors in the mechanism of thalidomide teratogenicity.
EXTRACTION OF ASTAXANTHIN ESTERS FROM SHRIMP WASTE BY CHEMICAL AND MICROBIAL METHODS (2007)

The carotenoid pigments specifically astaxanthin has many significant applications in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The goal of this research was the extraction of Astaxanthin from a certain Persian Gulf shrimp species waste (Penaeus semisulcatus), purification and identification of the pigment by chemical and microbial methods. Microbial fermentation was obtained by inoculation of two Lactobacillus species Lb. plantarum and Lb. acidophilus in the medium culture containing shrimp waste powder by the intervention of lactose sugar, yeast extract, the composition of Both and the coolage (-20°C). The carotenoids were extracted by an organic solvent system. After purification of astaxanthin with the thin layer chromatography method by spectrophotometer, NMR and IR analysis the presence of astaxanthin esters was recognized in this specific species of Persian Gulf shrimp. Results obtained from this study showed that the coolage at –20 °C not only does not have an amplifying effect on the production of astaxanthin but also slightly reduces this effect. Also the effect of intervention of lactose sugar showed more effectiveness in producing astaxanthin than yeast extract or more than with the presence of both. The results also indicated that there is not much difference in the ability of producing the pigment by comparing both Lb. plantarum and Lb. acidophillus. Also results showed the microbial method of extraction of astaxanthin is more effective than chemical method. The pigment extracted from certain amount of shrimp powder, 23.128 mg/g, was calculated.
Propranolol for Severe Hemangiomas of Infancy (2008)

Lithium Treatment and Risk of Suicidal Behavior in Bipolar Disorder Patients (1998)

Lithium maintenance was associated with marked reduction of life-threatening suicidal acts, the number of which sharply increased after discontinuing lithium. Suicidal behavior was strongly associated with prior suicide attempts, more time depressed, and younger age or recent onset. Greater attention to suicidal risk in patients with bipolar depression and assessment of all proposed mood-stabilizing agents for antisuicidal effects are strongly encouraged.
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-like protein in plasmalemmal caveolae is linked to actin filaments (1995)

We reported that a plasmalemmal inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-like protein (PM InsP3R-L) is localized in caveolae of various non-neuronal cells in vivo (Fujimoto et al. (1992) J. Cell Biol. 119, 1507-1513). In the present study, we investigated the distribution of PM InsP3R-L in cultured cells. In mouse epidermal keratinocytes (Pam 212) cultured in standard Ca2+ (1.8 mM), PM InsP3R-L was distributed densely in the vicinity of cell-to-cell contacts. In contrast, when Pam cells were cultured in low Ca2+ (0.06 mM) without making cell-to-cell contacts, PM InsP3R-L was observed randomly; by restoring the Ca2+ concentration, the circumferential actin filaments became obvious and the density of PM InsP3R-L increased in the contact region. Treatment of Pam cells with cytochalasin D caused aggregation of caveolae where PM InsP3R-L as well as F-actin and fodrin were localized. In bovine aortic endothelial cells, PM InsP3R-L was aligned along actin filaments crossing the cytoplasm in various directions. PM InsP3R-L of Pam cells was hardly extracted by treatment with 0.5% Triton X-100 or 60 mM octyl-glucoside in a cytoskeleton-stabilizing buffer for 15 minutes at 4 degrees C. The results show that the distribution of caveolae bearing PM InsP3R-L changes when the actin cytoskeleton is modified. They also indicate that the association of PM InsP3R-L with actin filaments may mediate the redistribution of caveolae. Since caveolae are thought to be related to signal transduction, their location defined by the actin cytoskeleton may affect the site where cellular reaction is to occur in response to various stimuli.
