Dynamic Integrated Transmission Control (DITRAC) over inter-vehicle communications in ITS (2003)

The inter-vehicle communications (IVC) is one of the most important technologies to realize advanced intelligent transport systems (ITS). Conventional IVC is vehicle-to-vehicle communication through line of sight communication by millimeter wave in a narrow area. Here, we deal with more progressive IVC in a wide area. In this paper, we propose Dynamic Integrated Transmission Control (DITRAC) for IVC. DITRAC optimizes transmission power and transmission interval of vehicles according to the fluctuation of the communications circumstance of the ad-hoc vehicular communications network. In order to estimate the fluctuation of the neighboring communications, we present an effective and simple method, the road-weight with receiving history (WH) method. The simulations are conducted to show the validity of DITRAC for IVC.
Robot Path Planning Based on Artificial Potential Field Approach with Simulated Annealing (2006)

The artificial potential field (APF) approach provides a simple and effective motion planning method for practical purpose. However, artificial potential field approach has a major problem, which is that the robot is easy to be trapped at a local minimum before reaching its goal. The avoidance of local minimum has been an active research topic in path planning by potential field. In this paper, we introduce several methods to solve this problem, emphatically, introduce and evaluate the artificial potential field approach with simulated annealing (SA). As one of the powerful techniques for escaping local minimum, simulated annealing has been applied to local and global path planning
Dynamics of DNA polymerase III holoenzyme of Escherichia coli in replication of a multiprimed template. (1985)

Movements of DNA polymerase III holoenzyme (holoenzyme) in replicating a template multiprimed with synthetic pentadecadeoxynucleotides (15-mers) annealed at known positions on a single-stranded circular or linear DNA have been analyzed. After extension of one 15-mer on a multiprimed template, holoenzyme moves downstream in the direction of chain elongation to the next primer. Holoenzyme readily traverses a duplex, even 400 base pairs long, to exploit its 3'-hydroxyl end as the next available primer. This downstream polarity likely results from an inability to diffuse upstream along single-stranded DNA. These holoenzyme movements, unlike formation of the initial complex with a primer, do not require ATP. Time elapsed between completion of a chain and initiation on the next downstream primer is rapid (1 s or less); dissociation of holoenzyme to form a complex with another primed template is slow (1-2 min). Thus, holoenzyme diffuses rapidly only on duplex DNA, probably in both directions, and forms an initiation complex with the first primer encountered. Based on these findings, schemes can be considered for holoenzyme action at the replication fork of a duplex chromosome.
Tumor-Specific Hsp70 Plasma Membrane Localization Is Enabled by the Glycosphingolipid Gb3 (2008)

These data indicate that the presence of Gb3 enables anchorage of Hsp70 in the plasma membrane of tumors and thus they might explain tumor-specific membrane localization of Hsp70.
Effect of DMSO on Protein Structure and Interactions Assessed by Collision-Induced Dissociation and Unfolding (2017)

Given the frequent use of DMSO in biochemical and biophysical assays, it is desirable to understand the influence of DMSO concentration on the dissociation or unfolding behavior of proteins. In this study, the effects of DMSO on the structure and interactions of avidin and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) CYP142A1 were assessed through collision-induced dissociation (CID) and collision-induced unfolding (CIU) as monitored by nanoelectrospray ionization-ion mobility-mass spectrometry (nESI-IM-MS). DMSO concentrations higher than 4% (v/v) destabilize the avidin tetramer toward dissociation and unfolding, via both its effects on charge state distribution (CSD) as well as at the level of individual charge states. In contrast, DMSO both protects against heme loss and increases the stability of CYP142A1 toward unfolding even up to 40% DMSO. Tandem MS/MS experiments showed that DMSO could modify the dissociation pathway of CYP142A1, while CIU revealed the protective effect of the heme group on the structure of CYP142A1.
Multiple Classes of Prostaglandin F2α Binding Sites in Subpopulations of Ovine Luteal Cells1 (1989)

A cryostorage procedure was developed to provide ovine luteal cells throughout the period of seasonal anestrus. Corpora lutea obtained from midluteal phase, superovulated ewes were dispersed enzymatically. Some dispersed cells were fractionated into subpopulations by elutriation. Dimethylsulfoxide (7.5% final concentration) in Hanks' buffered saline was added to cells at 4 degrees C, and dispersed cell preparations were frozen in a programmable cell freezer and stored at -196 degrees C. After recovery from cryopreservation, cell viability and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) binding characteristics of thawed cells were not different from those of corresponding fresh cells. Additionally, thawed cells retained the capacity to attach to culture dishes and retained responsiveness of progesterone secretion to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and ovine luteinizing hormone (LH), although rates of progesterone secretion were attenuated in thawed compared with fresh cells. The cryopreservation procedure will prove useful to relieve constraints in utilization of ovine luteal cells arising from reproductive seasonality in sheep. Cells retrieved from cryostorage were evaluated by studying PGF2 alpha binding characteristics. From saturation analyses (increasing amounts of radiolabeled PGF2 alpha) of PGF2 alpha binding to unfractionated cells, we detected a single class of high affinity binding sites (Kd = 17.4 +/- 2.3 nM) in addition to the nonspecific binding component. Using displacement analyses (constant radiolabeled PGF2 alpha and increasing amounts of unlabeled PGF2 alpha) and unfractionated cells, we detected additional binding sites of lower affinity (Kd = 409 +/- 166 nM) as well as the nonspecific binding component. Small luteal cells obtained by elutriation, which were essentially devoid of large cell contamination, had only low affinity binding sites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Comprehending monads (1990)

Category theorists invented monads in the 1960's to concisely express certain aspects of universal algebra. Functional programmers invented list comprehensions in the 1970's to concisely express certain programs involving lists. This paper shows how list comprehensions may be generalised to an arbitrary monad, and how the resulting programming feature can concisely express in a pure functional language some programs that manipulate state, handle exceptions, parse text, or invoke continuations. A new solution to the old problem of destructive array update is also presented. No knowledge of category theory is assumed.
Segmenting Ultrasound Images of the Prostate Using Neural Networks (1992)

This paper describes a method for segmenting transrectal ultrasound images of the prostate using feedforward neural networks. Segmenting two-dimensional images of the prostate into prostate and nonprostate regions is required when forming a three-dimensional image of the prostate from a set of parallel two-dimensional images. Three neural network architectures are presented as examples and discussed. Each of these networks was trained using a small portion of a training image segmented by an expert sonographer. The results of applying the trained networks to the entire training image and to adjacent images in the two-dimensional image set are presented and discussed. The final network architecture was also trained with additional data from two other images in the set. The results of applying this retrained network to each of the images in the set are presented and discussed.
Co-Z Addition Formulæ and Binary Ladders on Elliptic Curves (2010)

Abstract. Meloni recently introduced a new type of arithmetic on elliptic curves when adding projective points sharing the same Z-coordinate. This paper presents further co-Z addition formulæ (and register allocations) for various point additions on Weierstraß elliptic curves. It explains how the use of conjugate point addition and other implementation tricks allow one to develop efficient scalar multiplication algorithms making use of co-Z arithmetic. Specifically, this paper describes efficient co-Z based versions of Montgomery ladder and Joye’s double-add algorithm. Further, the resulting implementations are protected against a large variety of implementation attacks.
Efficient 3-D frequency-domain mono-parameter full-waveform inversion of ocean-bottom cable data: application to Valhall in the visco-acoustic vertical transverse isotropic approximation (2015)

Computationally efficient 3-D frequency-domain full waveform inversion (FWI) is applied to ocean-bottom cable data from the Valhall oil field in the visco-acoustic vertical transverse isotropic (VTI) approximation. Frequency-domain seismic modelling is performed with a parallel sparse direct solver on a limited number of computer nodes. A multiscale imaging is performed by successive inversions of single frequencies in the 3.5-10 Hz frequency band. The vertical wave speed is updated during FWI while density, quality factor Q P and anisotropic Thomsen's parameters and are kept fixed to their initial values. The final FWI model shows the resolution improvement that was achieved compared to the initial model that was built by reflection traveltime tomography. This FWI model shows a glacial channel system at 175 m depth, the footprint of drifting icebergs on the palaeo-seafloor at 500 m depth, a detailed view of a gas cloud at 1 km depth and the base cretaceous reflector at 3.5 km depth. The relevance of the FWI model is assessed by frequency-domain and time-domain seismic modelling and source wavelet estimation. The agreement between the modelled and recorded data in the frequency domain is excellent up to 10 Hz although amplitudes of modelled wavefields propagating across the gas cloud are overestimated. This might highlight the footprint of attenuation, whose absorption effects are underestimated by the homogeneous background Q P model (Q P = 200). The match between recorded and modelled time-domain seismograms suggests that the inversion was not significantly hampered by cycle skipping. However, late arrivals in the synthetic seismograms, computed without attenuation and with a source wavelet estimated from short-offset early arrivals, arrive 40 ms earlier than the recorded seismograms. This might result from dispersion effects related to attenuation. The repeatability of the source wavelets inferred from data that are weighted by a linear gain with offset is dramatically improved when they are estimated in the FWI model rather than in the smooth initial model. The two source wavelets, estimated in the FWI model from data with and without offset gain, show a 40 ms time-shift, which is consistent with the previous analysis of the time-domain seismograms. The computational efficiency of our frequency-domain approach is assessed against a recent time-domain FWI case study performed in a similar geological environment. This analysis highlights the efficiency of the frequency-domain approach to process a large number of sources and receivers with limited computational resources, thanks to the efficiency of the substitution step performed by the direct solver. This efficiency can be further improved by using a block-low rank version of the multifrontal solver and by exploiting the sparsity of the source vectors during the substitution step. Future work will aim to update attenuation and density at the same time of the vertical wave speed.

Microwave rf SQUID integrated into a planar YBa2Cu3O7 resonator (1992)

We fabricated and characterized microwave rf SQUIDs integrated into a planar, S-shaped λ/2 microstrip resonator. This 3 GHz resonator was fabricated from a pulsed-laser-deposited YBa2Cu3O7 epitaxial film. The SQUID structures incorporated double step-edge junctions and had a loop inductance of 120 pH. Such unoptimized SQUIDs operated between 4.2 and 85 K with dV/dΦ=18–20 μV/Φ0 at 77 K. At that temperature, the energy resolution of (8±2)×10−29 J/Hz above 0.1 Hz (in the best samples) was limited by the white noise, SΦ1/2=(7±1)×10−5 Φ0/Hz1/2. Optimization may increase dV/dΦ and improve the energy resolution by up to an order of magnitude.
Context-controlled flow visualization in augmented reality (2008)

\n A major challenge of novel scientific visualization using Augmented\n Reality is the accuracy of the user/camera position tracking. Many\n alternative techniques have been proposed, but still there is no\n general solution. Therefore, this paper presents a system that copes\n with different conditions and makes use of context information, e.g.\n available tracking quality, to select adequate Augmented Reality\n visualization methods. This way, users will automatically benefit\n from highquality visualizations if the system can estimate the pose\n of the realworld camera accurately enough. Otherwise,\n specially-designed alternative visualization techniques which\n require a less accurate positioning are used for the augmentation of\n real-world views. The proposed system makes use of multiple tracking\n systems and a simple estimation of the currently available overall\n accuracy of the pose estimation, used as context information to\n control the resulting visualization. Results of a prototypical\n implementation for visualization of 3D scientific flow data are\n presented to show the practicality.\n
Shepard: A fast exact match short read aligner (2012)

The mapping of many short sequences of DNA, called reads, to a long reference genome is an common task in molecular biology. The task amounts to a simple string search, allowing for a few mismatches due to mutations and inexact read quality. While existing solutions attempt to align a high percentage of the reads using small memory footprints, Shepard is concerned with only exact matches and speed. Using the human genome, Shepard is on the order of hundreds of thousands of times faster than current software implementations such as SOAP2 or Bowtie, and about 60 times faster than GPU implementations such as SOAP3. Shepard contains two components: a software program to preprocess a reference genome into a hash table, and a hardware pipeline for performing fast lookups. The hash table has one entry for each unique 100 base pair sequence that occurs in the reference genome, and contains the index of last occurrence and the number of occurrences. To reduce the hash table size, a minimal perfect hash table is used. The hardware pipeline was designed to perform hash table lookups very quickly, on the order of 600 million lookups per second, and was implemented on a Convey HC-1 high performance reconfigurable computing system. Shepard streams all of the short reads through a custom hardware pipeline and writes the alignment data (index of last occurrence and number of occurrences) to a binary results array.
Phased array 1-to-N-way resonator with a convex mirror for phase conjugation (2005)

Phased array 1-to-N-way resonators can be relevant in the realization of high output powers from semiconductor laser arrays and have significant advantages over Talbot resonators. However, depending on the number of array elements, the intracavity power density on the output facet can be high, resulting in catastrophic optical mirror damage. We present a variant of the original design that overcomes these power density problems while maintaining the desirable phase-locking and power-combining properties.
A new method for hierarchical compaction (VLSI) (1993)

A framework for the compaction of hierarchically specified layout sketches is proposed. The main advantage of the method is that it maintains the layout hierarchy. Thus, the produced output has the same efficient representation as the input and further efficient processing of the layout becomes possible.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

A 0.8 μm CMOS, Double Polysilicon EEPROM Technology Module Optimized for Minimum Wafer Cost (1994)

A novel process technology has been developed for smart analog and mixed-signal products requiring embedded EEPROM. The technology is a modular addition to a 0.8 μm, single polysilicon, double metal baseline CMOS process. The EEPROM process architecture is defined with the primary goal of minimizing the number of additional process steps driven by wafer cost considerations. A double polysilicon architecture is chosen to allow for the formation of an integral, linear interpoly capacitor and to reduce the EEPROM cell size. The module requires 3 additional masks beyond those of the baseline CMOS and adds 20% to the wafer cost. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) chip with a 64 byte EEPROM core has been designed and fabricated to demonstrate the technology.
Cloning, functional expression, and regulation of two K+ channels in human T lymphocytes. (1992)

Low stringency screening of a Jurkat cDNA library with a rat brain K+ channel (RCK1) probe has resulted in the isolation of HLK3, a voltage-gated K+ channel. In Xenopus oocytes, the HLK3 clone directs the expression of a rapidly activating transient outward K+ current similar to the type n K+ current recorded in Jurkat T cells. The HLK3 gene is located on the short arm of human chromosome 1 (p13.3). Polymerase chain reaction was used to clone HIsK from Jurkat cDNA. The HIsK clone shares the same sequence with a previously described genomic clone (Murai, T., Kazikuka, A., Takumi, T., Ohkubo, H., and Nakanishi, S. (1989) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 161, 176-181). In Xenopus oocytes, it encodes a slowly activating, noninactivating K+ channel which cannot be recorded in Jurkat cells by conventional patch-clamp techniques. Transcripts of both clones are present at a similar level before and after activation of purified human T lymphocytes and Jurkat cells, reflecting a constitutive expression of K+ channel messages. This finding is in good agreement with the electrophysiological results for type n K+ current density on the same cells. HLK3 current is very sensitive to the scorpion toxin charybdotoxin (IC50 = 0.8 nM). HIsK current is totally insensitive to this toxin but is blocked by the antiarrhythmic clofilium (IC50 = 80 microM). While charybdotoxin has no effect on interleukin 2 mRNA induction, clofilium potently inhibits interleukin 2 mRNA expression upon mitogen-induced T cell activation. It is concluded that the HLK3 channel is not an important component of the T cell mitogenic response. Other targets for K+ channel blockers, such as the HIsK protein, could be involved in the activation process.
Aqueous Scrubbing of Nitrogen Oxides from Stack Gases (1974)

A screening program compared various aqueous solvents for removing NOx from flue gases. Slurries of CA(OH)2, Mg(OH)2, and Zn(OH)2 were inefficient for removing NO and NO2 from a flue gas containing NOx but no SO2. NaOH solution was also inefficient whereas concentrated amine solutions were very effective. Concentrated aqueous ammonia and 2-aminoethanol absorbed 74 and 48%, respectively, of the NO. Sulfite solutions are excellent NO2 absorbants but poor NO absorbants. Alkaline hydroxide slurries and solutions are effective NO2 absorbers if SO2 is present in the flue gas. The sulfite formed during SO2 absorption enhances NO2 removal. Mg(OH)2 slurry absorbed 58% of the NO2 and 100% of the SO2 from a flue gas containing 830 ppm NO2 and 2460 ppm SO2. NO2 removal is enhanced by adding an anti-oxidant such as hydroquinone to the scrubber. Combined NOx-SOx absorption is possible provided the NO in flue gases can be oxidized to NO2 upstream from the scrubber.
Role of sympathetic nerve activity in the process of fainting (2014)

Syncope is defined as a transient loss of consciousness and postural tone, characterized by rapid onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery, and the process of syncope progression is here described with two types of sympathetic change. Simultaneous recordings of microneurographically-recorded muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and continuous and noninvasive blood pressure measurement has disclosed what is going on during the course of syncope progression. For vasovagal or neurally mediated syncope, three stages are identified in the course of syncope onset, oscillation, imbalance, and catastrophe phases. Vasovagal syncope is characterized by sympathoexcitation, followed by vagal overcoming via the Bezold-Jarisch reflex. Orthostatic syncope is caused by response failure or a lack of sympathetic nerve activity to the orthostatic challenge, followed by fluid shift and subsequent low cerebral perfusion. Four causes are considered for the compensatory failure that triggers orthostatic syncope: hypovolemia, increased pooling in the lower body, failure to activate sympathetic activity, and failure of vasoconstriction against sympathetic vasoconstrictive stimulation. Many pathophysiological conditions have been described from the perspectives of (1) exaggerated sympathoexcitation and (2) failure to activate the sympathetic nerve. We conclude that the sympathetic nervous system can control cardiovascular function, and its failure results in syncope; however, responses of the system obtained by microneurographically-recorded MSNA would determine the pathophysiology of the onset and progression of syncope, explaining the treatment effect that could be achieved by the analysis of this mechanism.
