Multimedia Delivery Service using Multicast Technique on the Head- End-Network (2006)

Summary In this paper, we propose Multimedia Delivery Service (MDS) for providing fluent multimedia services using multicast technique on the Head-end-Network. The implemented system is not conventional server-based multicast system but provides client-based on-demand one that has been lacked in conventional multicast delivery. The scheduler generates a multicast group address and port number when a client requests a service, then it sends them to multimedia server and client who request service. And then multimedia server transmits requested streams with a multicast group address and the client joins the group automatically. The scheduler assigns the same multicast group address when other clients request an identical multimedia within the same scheduling duration. Otherwise, it assigns another multicast group address to them.
Angiopoietin-1 Promotes Cardiac and Skeletal Myocyte Survival Through Integrins (2005)

Cardiac myocyte loss, regardless of insult, can trigger compensatory myocardial remodeling leading to heart failure. Identifying mediators of cardiac myocyte survival may advance clinical efforts toward myocardial preservation. Angiopoietin-1 limits ischemia-induced cardiac injury. This benefit is ascribed to angiogenesis because the receptor, tie2, is largely endothelial-specific. We propose that direct, non-tie2 interactions of angiopoietin-1 on cardiac myocytes contribute to this cardioprotection. We found that mouse C2C12 skeletal myocytes lack tie2, yet dose-dependently adhered to angiopoietin-1 and angiopoietin-2 similarly to laminin, fibronectin, vitronectin, and more than to collagen-I, -III, and -IV. Adhesion was divalent cation-mediated (Mn2+, Ca2+, not Mg2+), blocked with EDTA/EGTA, RGD-based peptides, and select integrin subunit antibodies. Similar findings were obtained with human skeletal myocytes (HSMs) and freshly isolated rat neonatal cardiac myocytes (NCMs). Furthermore, angiopoietin-1 conferred significant survival advantage exceeding that of most cell matrices, which was not fully explained by differences in cell adhesion. Angiopoietin-1 promoted survival of serum-starved C2C12, HSM, and NCM (MTT, trypan blue) and prevented taxol-induced apoptosis (caspase-3). Immobilized and soluble angiopoietin-1 phosphorylated Akt(S473) and MAPK(p42/44), (not FAK(Y397)) in C2C12 more than in endothelial cells and more than did angiopoietin-2 or cell matrices. EDTA, RGD-based peptides, and some integrin antibodies blocked these responses. Angiopoietin-1 activated HSM and NCM Akt(S473) and MAPK(p42/44) survival pathways. We propose that this novel function contributes to developmental and cardioprotective actions of angiopoietin-1 presently attributed to vascular effects alone. Angiopoietin-1 may prove therapeutically valuable in cardiac remodeling by supporting myocyte viability and preserving pump function.

Synthesis of pure polymorph C of Beta zeolite in a fluoride-free system (2001)

Pure polymorph C (denoted ITQ-17) resulting from the intergrowth of zeolite Beta has been synthesized in the presence of Ge from a fluoride-free synthesis mixture; this shows that fluoride is not necessary to obtain structures containing D4MR units that were believed to be stabilised by fluoride; on the other hand, the presence of Ge directs the synthesis towards the formation of pure polymorph C.
Faux-floor development system for personnel detection using signal scavenging sensors (2010)

Motivated by the need to detect motion in elderly people, resulting in falls, we have developed a low cost sensor system using aluminum foil as the sensor of static electricity and electromagnetic energy. But to make this a system we need to amplify the data and use it by displaying the motion or activity of a person. We constructed a faux floor development board to provide an initial pilot test of the idea of using stray electric energy, or as we call it signal scavenging. The foils are placed on the faux floor (in this case a 1 m X 1 m wooden surface) allowing foil excitation from the motion of a test subject. The faux floor is a useful tool allowing testing of different foils, analog and digital electronics circuits and different carpeting. Importantly, even though the system supported a small number of foil sensors its performance characteristics clearly show the excellent detection capability of the system. Testing the timing characteristics resulted in reading the 4 sensors in 3.11 msec, indicating that for even a large system of a few hundred sensors we can poll the foils in sufficient time to detect the motion of people. Our data show true positive rates of 98% and false positive and false negative rates of 2%, a high detection rate. Using the development board has provided much helpful information on the use of signal scavenging for personnel detection.
Disabling of Nanoparticle Effects at Increased Temperature in Nanocomposite Solders (2012)

The use of nanoparticles to control grain size and mechanical properties of solder alloys at high homologous temperature is explored. It is found that silica nanoparticles in the 100 nm range coated with 2 nm to 3 nm of gold can be dispersed within solders during the normal reflow soldering process, and that these particles are effective in hardening the solder and restricting dynamic grain growth during compression testing at low homologous temperature. As the homologous temperature increases towards 0.75, the effects of the nanoparticles on both mechanical properties and dynamical grain growth reduce, and by homologous temperatures of 0.86 the effects have completely disappeared. This behavior is explained by introducing the concept of an effective volume fraction of pinning nanoparticles, and the practical implications for using nanoparticles to control solder properties via Zener pinning at high homologous temperatures are discussed.
Imaging Mass Spectrometry in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma for the Identification and Validation of Biomarker Proteins (2014)

Direct tissue imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization and time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry has become increasingly important in biology and medicine, because this technology can detect the relative abundance and spatial distribution of interesting proteins in tissues. Five thyroid cancer samples, along with normal tissue, were sliced and transferred onto conductive glass slides. After laser scanning by MALDI-TOF equipped with a smart beam laser, images were created for individual masses and proteins were classified at 200-µm spatial resolution. Based on the spatial distribution, region-specific proteins on a tumor lesion could be identified by protein extraction from tumor tissue and analysis using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Using all the spectral data at each spot, various intensities of a specific peak were detected in the tumor and normal regions of the thyroid. Differences in the molecular weights of expressed proteins between tumor and normal regions were analyzed using unsupervised and supervised clustering. To verify the presence of discovered proteins through IMS, we identified ribosomal protein P2, which is specific for cancer. We have demonstrated the feasibility of IMS as a useful tool for the analysis of tissue sections, and identified the tumor-specific protein ribosomal protein P2.
An Investigation of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in Quantitative Fault Diagnosis for Turbofan Engine (2000)

This paper is aimed at investigating two kinds of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) applied to quantitative fault diagnosis of turbofan engine gas path components. Among them, one is Back Propagation neural Network (BPN) and the other is Adaptive Probabilistic Neural Network (APNN). Using BPN in order to achieve quantitative fault diagnosis, number of training samples will increase greatly which may lead to the difficulty of iteration convergence. A new learning rule named hybrid rule is introduced to avoid the algorithm falling into static areas and expedite convergence. Recently, a new method to improve the adaptability of multi-layer feed-forward neural network has been developed by the application of Radial Basis Function (RBF). In this paper, the APNN is put forward based on the theory of radial basis function, Bayesian estimation and normal distribution hypothesis of information. It is proposed that the adaptability of APNN can be obtained by applying maximum-likelihood estimation of the output of test case based on a posteriori probability of its input. The investigation shows that BPN and APNN have their own advantages and disadvantages. BPN has faster diagnostic speed and fits the requirement of quantitative diagnosis for single fault. APNN is more adaptive and fit better to quantitative diagnosis for multiple faults.
Secure Smart Card Signing with Time-based Digital Signature (2018)

People use their personal computers, laptops, tablets and smart phones to digitally sign documents in company's websites and other online electronic applications, and one of the main cybersecurity challenges in this process is trusted digital signature. While the majority of systems use password-based authentication to secure electronic signature, some more critical systems use USB token and smart card to prevent identity theft and implement the trusted digital signing process. Even though smart card provides stronger security, any weakness in the terminal itself can compromise the security of smart card. In this paper, we investigate current smart card digital signature, and illustrate well-known basic vulnerabilities of smart card terminal with the real implementation of two possible attacks including PIN sniffing and message alteration just before signing. As we focus on second attack in this paper, we propose a novel mechanism using time-based digital signing by smart card to defend against message alteration attack. Our prototype implementation and performance analysis illustrate that our proposed mechanism is feasible and provides stronger security. Our method uses popular timestamping protocol packets and does not require any new key distribution and certificate issuance.
Fudan-Huawei at MediaEval 2015: Detecting Violent Scenes and Affective Impact in Movies with Deep Learning (2015)

Techniques for violent scene detection and aective impact prediction in videos can be deployed in many applications. In MediaEval 2015, we explore deep learning methods to tackle this challenging problem. Our system consists of several deep learning features. First, we train a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model with a subset of ImageNet classes selected particularly for violence detection. Second, we adopt a specially designed two-stream CNN framework [1] to extract features on both static frames and motion optical ows. Third, Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) models are applied on top of the two-stream CNN features, which can capture the longer-term temporal dynamics. In addition, several conventional motion and audio features are also extracted as complementary information to the deep learning features. By fusing all the advanced features, we achieve a mean average precision of 0.296 in the violence detection subtask, and an accuracy of 0.418 and 0.488 for arousal and valence respectively in the induced aect detection subtask.
Gender-specific relationship between serum free and total IGF-I and bone mineral density in elderly men and women (1998)

In elderly men free and total IGF-I were positively related to lumbar BMD, while (free and total) IGF-I was borderline positively related to trochanter BMD. As these relationships were not observed in elderly women, we suggest a weak gender-specific anabolic effect of IGF-I on BMD on trabecular bone.
Eclipse: heterogeneous multiprocessor architecture for flexible media processing (2002)

Eclipse is a heterogeneous multiprocessor architecture for high-performance media processing, including highdefinition MPEG encoding/decoding. The scalable architecture framework concurrently executes media processing kernels in function-specific multi-tasking coprocessors and a media processor, communicating via on-chip memory. Eclipse instances combine application configuration flexibility with the efficiency of function-specific hardware.
CD5 is a potential selecting ligand for B cell surface immunoglobulin framework region sequences. (1996)

In rabbits nearly all B lymphocytes express the glycoprotein CD5, in contrast to mice and humans, where only a small proportion of B cells express this molecule (Raman, C., and K.L. Knight. 1992. J. Immunol. 149:3858-3864). CD5+ B cells appear to develop early in ontogeny and be maintained throughout life by self-renewal. The function of CD5 on B cells is still unknown. We showed earlier that "positive" selection occurs during B lymphocyte development in the rabbit appendix. This selection favors B cell expressing surface immunoglobulins with VHa2 structures in the first and third framework regions (Pospisil, R., G.O. Young-Cooper, and R.G. Mage. 1995. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 92:6961-6965). Here we report that F(ab')2 fragments, especially those bearing VHa2 framework region determinants, specifically interact with the B cell-surface glycoprotein CD5. This interaction can be inhibited by anti-CD5 antibodies. Furthermore, immobilized F(ab')2 fragments selectively bind CD5 molecules in appendix cell lysates. Interactions of VH framework region structures with CD5 may affect maintenance and selective expansion of particular B cells and thus contribute to autostimulatory growth of autoimmune or transformed cells.
Recent oceanographic work by the Hydrographic Office of the United States Navy (1941)

While the work of the Hydrographic Office and the United States Navy has been vastly increased, due to the present national emergency, the oceanographic activities have necessarily been severely curtailed. You may be interested to know that the production of our nautical charts has increased 500 per cent over normal times, due not only to the large number of additional naval vessels, but also to the ever‐increasing dependence of the maritime world upon the Hydrographic Office for charts and publications heretofore obtainable from foreign sources. My report is therefore short and general in scope.
Mechanisms of RIG-I-Like Receptor Activation and Manipulation by Viral Pathogens (2014)

RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) play important roles in the host defense to numerous viral pathogens. Since they were discovered, much light has been shed on the molecular details of how these cytoplasmic viral RNA receptors sense viral infection and orchestrate antiviral innate immunity. Intriguingly, in addition to viral RNA binding, a series of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) is required for the rapid activation of RLRs and, inversely, for the prevention of aberrant innate immune signaling. Recent discoveries have shown that viruses manipulate the PTMs of RLRs to escape innate immune detection. This article highlights some of these recent findings in this fast-evolving field.
Suppression of Virulence of Porphyromonas gingivalis by Potent Inhibitors Specific for Gingipains (2003)

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium that is implicated as a major etiologic agent of adult periodontal disease. This bacterium is asaccharolytic and possesses strong potency for proteolysis. It produces a novel class of cysteine proteinases, termed gingipains, in the cell-associated and secretory forms. Gingipains consist of arginine-X-specific cysteine proteinases (Arg-gingipains, Rgps) and lysine-X-specific cysteine proteinase (Lys-gingipain, Kgp). Previous studies using various P. gingivalis mutants deficient in Rgp- and/or Kgp-encoding genes have revealed that both enzymes are important for the bacterium both to exhibit its virulence and to survive in periodontal pockets. Mammalian internal proteinase inhibitors such as cystatins, a1-antichymotrypsin, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) have little or no effects on the proteolytic activities of these enzymes, suggesting the evasion of the bacterium from host defense mechanisms. Recent epidemiological reports have shown a significant relation between periodontal diseases and systemic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Thus, the development of potent inhibitors specific for gingipains provides new therapeutic approaches to treat periodontal diseases and the related systemic diseases. More recently, we have developed novel synthetic inhibitors specific for Rgp and Kgp, based on the specificity and efficacy of cleavage of histatins by each enzyme. We have also isolated a novel and potent inhibitor of Rgp from the culture supernatant of Streptomyces species strain FA-70, now designated as FA-70C1. Here we summarized the usefulness of these new inhibitors in providing a broader application in studies of this important class of enzymes.

Electron-Beam-Induced Substitutional Carbon Doping of Boron Nitride Nanosheets, Nanoribbons, and Nanotubes (2011)

Substitutional carbon doping of the honeycomb-like boron nitride (BN) lattices in two-dimensional (nanosheets) and one-dimensional (nanoribbons and nanotubes) nanostructures was achieved via in situ electron beam irradiation in an energy-filtering 300 kV high-resolution transmission electron microscope using a C atoms feedstock intentionally introduced into the microscope. The C substitutions for B and N atoms in the honeycomb lattices were demonstrated through electron energy loss spectroscopy, spatially resolved energy-filtered elemental mapping, and in situ electrical measurements. The preferential doping was found to occur at the sites more vulnerable to electron beam irradiation. This transformed BN nanostructures from electrical insulators to conductors. It was shown that B and N atoms in a BN nanotube could be nearly completely replaced with C atoms via electron-beam-induced doping. The doping mechanism was proposed to rely on the knockout ejections of B and N atoms and subsequent healing of vacancies with supplying C atoms.
The major cysteine proteinase (cruzipain) from Trypanosoma cruzi is antigenic in human infections (1991)

Antibodies against the major cysteine proteinase (cruzipain) from Trypanosoma cruzi were detected in human sera obtained from patients with chronic Chagas' disease. Not only the intact 60-kDa enzyme but also its 25-kDa self-proteolysis fragment are antigenic in vivo. Although T. cruzi antigens 13 and 36 also reacted with the apparently monospecific antiproteinase serum, the antigenicity of cruzipain to human patients is genuine, since its reactivity was not modified by the adsorption of human sera with the recombinant proteins 13 and 36.
Self-tuning dynamic vibration absorber for machine tool chatter suppression (2013)

The current trend in machine tool design aims at stiffer machines with lower influence of friction, leading to faster and more precise machines. However, this is at the expense of reducing the machine damping, which is mainly produced by friction, and thus increasing the risk of suffering from a self-excited vibration named chatter, which limits the productivity of the process. Dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) offer a relatively simple and low cost solution to reduce chatter appearance risk by adding damping to the critical vibration modes. The proper tuning of the dynamic characteristics of the damper to the machine/process dynamics is the key for successful implementation.

A new semi-active tuned mass damper concept is presented here, which combines three novelties:
 Automatic in-process chatter detection and optimal tuning frequency calculation by means of dedicated hard/software and embedded accelerometers.
 Automatic in-process tuning of the resonance frequency of the damper to the chatter frequency by means of a variable stiffness spring controlled by a motor.
 Damping is produced by eddy current effect, generated by the vibration of conductor plates within a magnetic field.

Such a damper prototype has been designed and built, with performance, robustness, low cost and compactness as main goals, in order to achieve a system that can be used in real industrial applications. This damper has been designed to fit the requirements of a SORALUCE milling machine at IK4-IDEKO's facilities, which has been used for experimental validation.

The main design and working principles of this damper and the improvement of the machining conditions allowed by the damper will be demonstrated by real milling experiments.
