Thermal conductivity of pristine and brominated P-100 fibers (1986)

Thermal conductivity of brominated and pristine Union Carbide P-100 graphite fibers in the 30 to 160 C temperature range was determined by measuring thermal conductivities of graphite fiber epoxy composite samples and then excluding the epoxy contribution. A comparative thermal conductivity instrument was used to measure the thermal conductivity of the samples containing fibers. Results showed that the thermal conductivity values were 225 to 370 w/m-K and 215 to 340 w/m-K for pristine and brominated fibers, respectively. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity ratio of brominated to pristine P-100 fibers was 0.89, 0.91, and 0.92 at 55 to 80 C; 108 and 130 C, respectively. Such decrease in thermal conductivity results almost entirely from the 10 percent increase in fiber cross sectional area due to bromination. This result suggests that bromination effects on P-100 fiber structure is small, and that some structural changes, presumably the sharp-angled domain wall becomes less sharp, occurring in the 80 to 108 C temperature range.
On Approximately Searching for Similar Word Embeddings (2016)

We discuss an approximate similarity search for word embeddings, which is an operation to approximately find embeddings close to a given vector. We compared several metric-based search algorithms with hash-, tree-, and graphbased indexing from different aspects. Our experimental results showed that a graph-based indexing exhibits robust performance and additionally provided useful information, e.g., vector normalization achieves an efficient search with cosine similarity.
Lung cancer detected during a screening program using four-month chest radiographs. (1983)

Ninety-two lung cancers were detected in the Mayo Lung Project in patients undergoing chest radiography every four months for screening. Fifty patients had a peripheral nodule, 16 had a perihilar nodule, 20 had hilar or mediastinal enlargement, and six had pneumonitis. The peripheral cancers grew slowly. Ninety per cent were visible in retrospect for months or even years. Despite this, 70% of the peripheral cancers were classified as postsurgical American Joint Committee (AJC) Stage 1. The central cancers grew rapidly, usually presenting as hilar or mediastinal enlargements after normal findings on the previous radiograph obtained four months earlier. Most were classified as AJC Stage 3 tumors.

Networks of Waiting Lines (1957)

One of the least understood classes of operations problems is that concerned with the design, loading, and, especially, the scheduling of discrete, statistically varying flows through complex networks. The present paper abstracts what is perhaps the simplest theoretical question related to this class of problems, and derives expressions for certain steady-state parameters.
DNA content in prostatic adenocarcinoma. A flow cytometry study of the predictive value of aneuploidy for tumor volume, percentage gleason grade 4 and 5, and lymph node metastases (1990)

DNA content of prostatic adenocarcinoma was determined by flow cytometry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue from 57 radical prostatectomies. This was done to define the relationship of aneuploidy to prostatic adenocarcinoma grade, volume, and pathologic stage and to examine its utility in candidates for surgical treatment. Aneuploidy was found in 26 (46%) cases. With one exception, all of the aneuploid cases were found in tumors larger than 4 cc. The percentage of aneuploid cases increased with advancing pathologic stage, and it was highest in those cases with lymph node metastases. This percentage was also higher among more poorly differentiated tumors. However, diploid tumors were also found among these groups, and the relationship between aneuploidy versus pathologic stage and grade did not achieve statistical significance. Except for a 91% specificity for tumor volume greater than 4 cc, the sensitivity and specificity of DNA content analysis to predict these groups was low (50% to 72%). It is concluded that aneuploidy is a later event linked to tumor progression, but it is not a requirement for progression to occur. The overlap in aneuploid and diploid tumor behavior precludes the use of DNA content analysis as an independent predictor to direct preoperative treatment of prostatic carcinoma.
A novel query expansion method for military news retrieval service (2014)

Since most search engines retrieve documents strictly based on keywords, they cannot obtain other content that is similar in idea but different in keywords. Therefore, semantic query expansion is very important and ontology is a critical foundation for supporting semantic query expansion. Ontology has been used in Information Retrieval, Data Category, Library Sciences and Medical Sciences; however, its use is rare in the Military Domain. There are two purposes for this research. The first is to use a “Military Dictionary” database as a fundamental and combine it with the procedure of formal concept analysis to automatically construct the relationship between military ontology and vocabulary concepts. The second is to use military news from the “Defense Technology Military Database” as a training data resource, to design a novel query expansion with the Keyword to Formal Concept Query Expansion (K2FCQE) algorithm and then to proceed query mode verification. The results of this research verify that the K2FCQE is more efficient than other query expansions.
A conjugate of doxorubicin with lactosaminated albumin enhances the drug concentrations in all the forms of rat hepatocellular carcinomas independently of their differentiation grade (2006)

The conjugate L-HSA-DOXO could improve the potential of DOXO in the treatment of all HCCs, including the poorly differentiated tumors that are the common forms in the advanced disease for which an effective chemotherapy is particularly needed.
Control of circulating current in parallel three-phase boost rectifiers (2002)

In this paper, an averaged model predicting the dynamics of a zero-sequence current in parallel three-phase converters is developed. Based on the model, a new control variable associated with space-vector modulation is introduced. A strong zero-sequence current loop is designed to control and suppress the circulating current. Simulation and experimental results validate the developed model and the proposed control scheme.
A novel extinction screen in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> identifies mutant plants defective in early microsporangial development (2002)

Few Arabidopsis mutants defective in early male or female germline development have been reported. A novel extinction screen has been devised which permits the identification of mutants deficient in the earliest stages of anther development. Using mutagenized plants carrying GUS reporter constructs driven by tapetal-specific promoters originally derived from Brassica genes, a wide spectrum of mutants have been identified in Arabidopsis, ranging from those defective in archesporial cell differentiation to others expressed later in development. Crosses between these lines and known anther development mutants have enabled the identification of lines carrying mutations in genes expressed during very early anther formation. Initial characterization reveals these early mutants fall into two classes, gne (GUS-negative) 1-like, and gne2-like. Members of the gne1 mutant class initiate all four layers of the anther wall and an appropriate number of sporogenous cells; however, as development proceeds the tapetal and middle-layer cells enlarge, eventually crushing the sporogenous cells. The gne2 class anthers are disrupted at an earlier stage, with the middle and tapetal layers failing to form, and an excess of sporogenous cells developing until the germline aborts late in meiosis II. Analysis of these mutants has already raised questions about the accuracy of current models of angiosperm anther development.
Transient Angle Stability of Virtual Synchronous Generators Using Lyapunov’s Direct Method (2018)

With an increasing number of distributed energy resources integrated into the power system, inverters need to take on the corresponding responsibility for the security and stability of the system. Virtual synchronous generators (VSGs) are proposed to mimic dynamic characteristics of traditional rotational synchronous generators (RSGs) to compensate for the loss of inertia and reserve capacity. Similar to RSGs, VSGs will experience transient angle instability under certain conditions, which likely threatens the system security. In this paper, transient angle stability of a VSG is investigated by Lyapunov's direct method. The deteriorative effect of reactive power control loop on transient angle stability is first analyzed and then voltage variation is incorporated into an approximate Lyapunov's direct method. In this method, the inverter internal voltage is treated as a parameter rather than a state variable. Moreover, the influence of different parameters on transient angle stability is studied. Finally, an enhanced control strategy is presented to improve the transient angle stability by adjusting the reference power. Numerical simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the enhanced control.
A DFT Study of Diels−Alder Reactions of <i>o</i>-Quinone Methides and Various Substituted Ethenes:  Selectivity and Reaction Mechanism (2005)

The Diels-Alder (DA) reactions of various substituted ethenes (methyl vinyl ether (MVE), styrene, and methyl vinyl ketone (MVK)) with o-quinone methides (o-QM) are studied by means of density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. On the basis of analysis for frontier molecular orbital and comparison of the activation energies for different reaction pathways, the ortho attack modes present transition structures more stable than the meta ones. The reactivity, ortho selectivity, and asynchronicity are enhanced with the increase of the electron-releasing character of the substitute on ethene fragment. The discussions for the charge distribution and charge transfer on different transition states indicate that there are different molecular mechanisms for the different substituted ethenes. The calculations show that the effect of solvent decreases the activation energy and increases the asynchronicity. The results also indicate that the hydrogen-bond formation between chloroform and the carbonyl oxygen of the o-QM lowers the activation energies and increases the asynchronicity.
Effects of PCR cycle number and DNA polymerase type on the 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing analysis of bacterial communities (2012)

The effects of PCR cycle number and DNA polymerase type on 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing analysis were investigated using an artificially prepared bacterial community (mock community). The bacterial richness was overestimated at increased PCR cycle number mostly due to the occurence of chimeric sequences, and this was more serious with a DNA polymerase having proofreading activity than with Taq DNA polymerase. These results suggest that PCR cycle number must be kept as low as possible for accurate estimation of bacterial richness and that particular care must be taken when a DNA polymerase having proofreading activity is used.

Conservation of RNA-protein interactions among picornaviruses (1992)

Picornavirus genomes encode unique 5' noncoding regions (5' NCRs) which are approximately 600 to 1,300 nucleotides in length, contain multiple upstream AUG codons, and display the ability to form extensive secondary structures. A number of recent reports have shown that picornavirus 5' NCRs are able to facilitate cap-independent internal initiation of translation. This mechanism of translation occurs in the absence of viral gene products, suggesting that the host cell contains the necessary components for the cap-independent internal initiation of translation of picornavirus RNAs as well as cellular mRNAs. In an attempt to identify some of the perhaps novel cellular proteins involved in this newly discovered mechanism of translation, we utilized RNA mobility shifts assays to identify and characterize interactions that occur between the 5'NCR of poliovirus type 1 (PV1) and cellular proteins. In this report, we describe two separate interactions between RNA structures from the 5' NCR of PV1 and proteins present in extracts from HeLa cells as well as other cell types. We describe the interaction between nucleotides 186 to 220 (stem-loop D) and a cellular protein(s) present in HeLa cell extracts. Mutational analysis of this stem-loop structure suggests that maintenance of a base-paired structure in the lower stem is necessary to present the sequences which directly interact with the protein(s). We also describe the interaction between nucleotides 220 to 460 (stem-loop E) and a cellular protein present in HeLa cell extracts. This RNA binding activity fractionates to a specific ammonium sulfate fraction (A cut) of a ribosomal salt wash. Mutational analysis of the stem-loop E structure suggests that the preservation of an extensive RNA structure is necessary for a strong interaction with the cellular protein(s), although smaller RNAs derived from this region of the 5' NCR can interact to lesser extents. Finally, we show that both of these RNA-protein interactions are conserved among the closely related enteroviruses PV1 and coxsackievirus type B3, human rhinovirus type 14, and the more distantly related cardiovirus Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus, suggesting that such RNA-protein interactions serve basic functions which are conserved and utilized by each of these picornaviruses.
Solution of inverse problems in image processing by wavelet expansion (1993)

A wavelet approach to linear inverse problems in image processing is described. The images and the operator to be inverted are expanded by wavelets and various constraints for a regularized solution are enforced through wavelet coefficients. The approach also provides a solution to an important problem in multigrid/multiresolution processing: representing an operator in different resolutions. The application of the proposed approach is demonstrated through image restoration. Good results are obtained.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
DNA topology of the ordered chromatin domain 5′ to the human<i>c-myc</i>gene (1989)

DNA restriction fragments located 5' to the human c-myc gene display anomalous electrophoretic mobility on polyacrylamide gels. Computer modeling of the c-myc flanking DNA suggests that the slow-moving DNA fragments spanning nucleotides -1690 to -1054 (relative to c-myc promoter P1) and -718 to -452 form large left handed superhelices or curved structures while the fast-moving DNA fragment spanning nucleotides -407 to +78 has an unusually straight structure. These analyses also predict a periodic array of localized regions of bending through the superhelical domains. Micrococcal nuclease digestion of isolated nuclei reveals that the slow-moving DNA fragments exist in an ordered chromatin structure stable to nuclease, whereas the digestion pattern of the fast-moving DNA fragment suggests a less ordered array of nucleosomes or a non-nucleosomal chromatin structure.

<title>Multimedia wireless networking</title> (1996)

Current wireless network systems (e.g. metropolitan cellular) are constrained by fixed bandwidth allocations and support only a narrow range of services (voice and low bit-rate data). To overcome these constraints and advance the state of the art in wireless multimedia communications, we are developing variable-rate video and speech compression algorithms, and wireless node architectures that will enable peer-to-peer multimedia networking even with very low bandwidth. To support this objective, each wireless node must support new applications (for multimedia), advances in networking and source coding to support multimedia under limited bandwidth conditions (wireless), advances in physical layer design to support robust, low power, high packet throughput links, low power DSP for multimedia compression, and an architectural strategy to integrate these components into an efficient node. The algorithms and architectures to support this functionality are presented here, together with some preliminary results on network performance.
Percutaneous Absorption of LHRH Through Porcine Skin: Effect of N-Methyl 2-Pyrrolidone and Isopropyl Myristate (1997)

The effect of penetration enhancer (PE) on the in vitro permeability of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) through porcine epidermis was investigated. The permeability coefficient of LHRH significantly increased (p < 0.05) through PE-(e.g., n-methyl 2-pyrrolidone [NMP], and isopropyl myristate [IPM]) treated epidermis in comparison to the control (without PE-pretreated epidermis). The higher permeability coefficient was observed with NMP followed by IPM. This shows that PE such as NMP and IPM can enhance the percutaneous absorption of peptides such as LHRH.
Prediction of intramuscular fat percentage in live swine using real-time ultrasound1 (2002)

Purebred Durocs (n = 207) were used to develop a model to predict loin intramuscular fat percentage (PIMF) of the longissimus muscle in live pigs. A minimum of four longitudinal, real-time ultrasound images were collected 7 cm off-midline across the 10th to the 13th ribs on the live animal. A trained technician used texture analysis software to interpret the images and produce 10 image parameters. Backfat and loin muscle area were measured from a cross-sectional image at the 10th rib. After harvest, a slice from the 10th to the 11h rib loin interface was used to determine carcass loin intramuscular fat percentage (CIMF). The model to predict loin intramuscular fat percentage was developed using linear regression analysis with CIMF as the dependent variable. Initial independent variables were off-test weight, live animal ultrasonic 10th rib backfat and loin muscle area, and the 10 image parameters. Independent variables were removed individually until all variables remaining were significant (P < 0.05). The final prediction model included live animal ultrasound backfat and five image parameters. The multiple coefficient of determination and root mean square error for the prediction model were 0.32 and 1.02%, respectively. An independent data set of Duroc (n = 331) and Yorkshire (n = 288) pigs from two replications of the National Pork Board's Genetics of Lean Efficiency Project were used for model validation. Results showed the Duroc pigs provided the beat validation of the model. The product moment correlation and rank correlation coefficients between PIMF and CIMF were 0.60 and 0.56, respectively, in the Duroc population. Results show real-time ultrasound image analysis can be used to predict intramuscular fat percentage in live swine.
Approximate embedding-based subsequence matching of time series (2008)

A method for approximate subsequence matching is introduced, that significantly improves the efficiency of subsequence matching in large time series data sets under the dynamic time warping (DTW) distance measure. Our method is called EBSM, shorthand for Embedding-Based Subsequence Matching. The key idea is to convert subsequence matching to vector matching using an embedding. This embedding maps each database time series into a sequence of vectors, so that every step of every time series in the database is mapped to a vector. The embedding is computed by applying full dynamic time warping between reference objects and each database time series. At runtime, given a query object, an embedding of that object is computed in the same manner, by running dynamic time warping between the reference objects and the query. Comparing the embedding of the query with the database vectors is used to efficiently identify relatively few areas of interest in the database sequences. Those areas of interest are then fully explored using the exact DTW-based subsequence matching algorithm. Experiments on a large, public time series data set produce speedups of over one order of magnitude compared to brute-force search, with very small losses (< 1%) in retrieval accuracy.
