A transition-encoded dynamic bus technique for high-performance interconnects (2003)

A transition-encoded dynamic bus technique enables interconnect delay reduction while maintaining the robustness and switching energy behavior of a static bus. Efficient circuits, designed for a drop-in replacement, enable significant delay and peak-current reduction even for short buses, while obtaining energy savings at aggressive delay targets. In a 180 nm 32-bit microprocessor, 79% of all global buses exhibit 10%-35% performance improvement with this technique.
Stock Price Prediction on Daily Stock Data using Deep Neural Networks (2018)

The price of a stock is volatile and complex in nature which makes its prediction a difficult task. This paper plans to predict the prices of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Madras Rubber Factory Limited (MRF) stocks on a short-term basis. In this paper, a comparative analysis of various Deep Neural Network techniques applied for a stock price prediction application is done. The networks used are pertinent to the problem include Convolutional Neural Networks, Long Short-Term Memory Networks and Conv1D-LSTM. The different neural network models are trained on daily stock price data which includes Open High, Low, and Close price values. These are used to predict the next day closing price. From the last 5 days of data, the prediction is made. Results of different models a recompared with each other. In this paper, a deep neural network Conv1D-LSTM is proposed which is based on the combining of layers of two different techniques - CNN and LSTM top redict the price of a stock. The performance of the models is evaluated using RMSE, MAE and MAPE. These errors in Conv1D-LSTM model are found to be very low compared to CNN & LSTM. For stock price prediction, Conv1DLSTMnetworkisfoundtobeeffective,depending on the nature of stock hyper-parameters may require some variations.
Photonic microwave downconverter based on an optoelectronic oscillator using a single dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (2014)

A novel and compact photonic microwave downconverter is proposed and experimentally demonstrated based on an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) using a single dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DMZM). The DMZM is used to simultaneously convert the input RF signal into an optical signal, form an OEO for RF carrier extraction, and downconvert the optical RF signal to the baseband. In the experiment, a 2-Gb/s NRZ coded 10.66-GHz RF signal is successfully downconverted to the baseband. In addition, a microwave receiver for wireless high-definition (HD) video transmission is built and verified based on the proposed downconverter. The experiment results confirm that the proposed downconverter has simple configuration, good downconversion performance and very stable operation.

Robust High-Quality HfN–&gt;tex&lt;$hbox HfO_2$&gt;/tex&lt;Gate Stack for Advanced MOS Device Applications (2004)

In this letter, a thermally stable and high-quality HfN-HfO/sub 2/ gate stack for advanced MOS applications is reported for the first time. Negligible changes in both equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) and work function of HfN-HfO/sub 2/ gate stack are demonstrated even after 1000/spl deg/C postmetal annealing (PMA), which is attributed to the superior oxygen diffusion barrier property of HfN as well as the thermal stability of the HfN-HfO/sub 2/ interface. Therefore, even without surface nitridation prior to HfO/sub 2/ deposition, the EOT of HfN-HfO/sub 2/ gate stack can be successfully scaled down to less than 10 /spl Aring/ after 1000/spl deg/C PMA with excellent leakage and long-term reliability.
The Ocular Manifestations and Functional Effects of Occupational Argyrosis (1979)

Thirty employees of an industrial plant involved in the manufacture of silver nitrate and silver oxide underwent ophthalmologic evaluation in an effort to evaluate the frequency and extent of ocular argyrosis. The most frequently noted ocular abnormality was pigmentation of the conjunctiva, present in 20 workers; corneal pigmentation occurred in 15 workers. A direct relationship existed between the levels of pigmentation and duration of employment. Ocular pigmentation was seen more frequently than cutaneous pigmentation. Ten workers noted decreased night vision, but electrophysiologic and psychophysiologic studies of seven of these ten workers demonstrated no functional deficits.
Evaluation of Sc-Bearing Aluminum Alloy C557 for Aerospace Applications (2002)

The performance of the Al-Mg-Sc alloy C557 was evaluated to assess its potential for a broad range of aerospace applications, including airframe and launch vehicle structures. Of specific interest were mechanical properties at anticipated service temperatures and thermal stability of the alloy. Performance was compared with conventional airframe aluminum alloys and with other emerging aluminum alloys developed for specific service environments. Mechanical properties and metallurgical structure were evaluated for commercially rolled sheet in the as-received H116 condition and after thermal exposures at 107 C. Metallurgical analyses were performed to de.ne grain morphology and texture, strengthening precipitates, and to assess the effect of thermal exposure.
Structure determination of Li<sub><i>x</i></sub>TiS<sub>2</sub> by neutron diffraction (1980)

The crystal structures of the intercalation compounds of Li x TiS 2 are investigated by neutron diffraction for x = 0.12, 0.33, 0.67, and 1.0. The Li atoms are shown to preferentially occupy the octahedral sites in the van der Waals gaps of the host TiS 2 lattice for all values of x and no evidence for three-dimensional Li ordering is observed.
Data driven selection of DRX for energy efficient 5G RAN (2017)

The number of connected mobile devices is increasing rapidly with more than 10 billion expected by 2022. Their total aggregate energy consumption poses a significant concern to society. The current 3gpp (3rd Generation Partnership Project) LTE/LTE-Advanced standard incorporates an energy saving technique called discontinuous reception (DRX). It is expected that 5G will use an evolved variant of this scheme. In general, the single selection of DRX parameters per device is non trivial. This paper describes how to improve energy efficiency of mobile devices by selecting DRX based on the traffic profile per device. Our particular approach uses a two phase data-driven strategy which tunes the selection of DRX parameters based on a smart fast energy model. The first phase involves the off-line selection of viable DRX combinations for a particular traffic mix. The second phase involves an on-line selection of DRX from this viable list. The method attempts to guarantee that latency is not worse than a chosen threshold. Alternatively, longer battery life for a device can be traded against increased latency. We built a lab prototype of the system to verify that the technique works and scales on a real LTE system. We also designed a sophisticated traffic generator based on actual user data traces. Complementary method verification has been made by exhaustive off-line simulations on recorded LTE network data. Our approach shows significant device energy savings, which has the aggregated potential over billions of devices to make a real contribution to green, energy efficient networks.
Über einige neue Imidazolderivate (1967)

Abstract Bifunktionelle Derivate von Diphenylimidazolen und von Diphenyl‐[ p ‐phenylen‐diimidazolen] wurden synthetisiert. Ausgehend vom 5(4)‐Methyl‐2.4(5)‐diphenyl‐imidazol ( 1 ) wurden (via Nitrierung) p.p′ ‐disubstituierte Verbindungen erhalten ( 2‐5 ).

Die Kondensation von 1.4‐Bis‐phenylglyoxyloyl‐benzol mit Nitrobenzaldehyden in Gegenwart von Ammoniumacetat lieferte doppelt nitrophenyl‐substituierte p ‐Phenylen‐diimidazole ( 11, 13 ), die sich zu den entsprechenden Diaminen ( 12, 14 ) reduzieren ließen.
The Avoidance of Visual Discomfort and Basic Rules for Producing “Good 3D” Pictures (2012)

Stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) content is the latest and most powerful trend in the cinema, television, Blu-ray, Internet streaming, video on demand, advertising, and broadcasting markets, with an increasing potential for the next decades. This paper describes the critical aspects of 3D content creation. First, the basic rules for creating “good 3D” and avoiding visual discomfort are determined. In particular, conflicts of depth and binocular rivalry are reviewed in detail, as these cause eye fatigue, headache, and even nausea. The paper describes both the reasons for the appearance of the conflicts and the degree of intensity in the human visual system. Then, the paper compares the level of complexity involved in avoiding or fixing these visual conflicts for the various content-creation techniques: 3D live-action production with stereo camera rigs, theatrical 2D-to-3D conversion, and realtime conversion. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion about the combination of these techniques, their influence on the current and future 3D entertainment market, and the danger of “bad” 3D.
The ATM signaling network in development and disease (2013)

The DNA damage response (DDR) rapidly recognizes DNA lesions and initiates the appropriate cellular programs to maintain genome integrity. This includes the coordination of cell cycle checkpoints, transcription, translation, DNA repair, metabolism, and cell fate decisions, such as apoptosis or senescence (Jackson and Bartek, 2009). DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) represent one of the most cytotoxic DNA lesions and defects in their metabolism underlie many human hereditary diseases characterized by genomic instability (Stracker and Petrini, 2011; McKinnon, 2012). Patients with hereditary defects in the DDR display defects in development, particularly affecting the central nervous system, the immune system and the germline, as well as aberrant metabolic regulation and cancer predisposition. Central to the DDR to DSBs is the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase, a master controller of signal transduction. Understanding how ATM signaling regulates various aspects of the DDR and its roles in vivo is critical for our understanding of human disease, its diagnosis and its treatment. This review will describe the general roles of ATM signaling and highlight some recent advances that have shed light on the diverse roles of ATM and related proteins in human disease.
Synthesis and Experimental Validation of Two-Step Variable-Structure Control of a Micro-Actuated Flow Effector (2007)

To achieve fast and agile missile flight, carefully designed micro-actuated flow effectors relying on smart structures is a promising technology thanks to their compactness and lightweight properties. Indeed, micro-actuated flow effectors are ideal candidates to carry out active flow control. Such effectors can be mounted on a compliant mechanism and be actuated by means of antagonistic shape memory alloy (SMA) wires. This paper proposes a variable-structure control law for such micro-actuated flow effectors which is designed with the objective of controlling flow effector positions over a range of 1 mm and within a bandwidth of [0.1 Hz, 1 Hz]. A bang-bang controller is used to guarantee fast decaying transients and performance robustness with respect to modeling uncertainties. When the tracking error is less than a prescribed threshold, stabilization without chattering is achieved by switching from the bang-bang control law to a linear digital control law, whose design is based on the parametric identification of the entire mechanical device composed of the antagonistic actuation, of the compliant mechanism, and of the micro-actuated flow effector. The rate independent hysteresis, which is typical of SMA, is represented as an input-output phase lag and is thus taken into account in the control design. Experimental results show that the control law is capable of providing effective control up to 1.0 Hz.
Using server side XML to create individualized Web pages (2002)

XML allows one to define tagging languages that can be used to add explicit structure to information. Adding explicit structure to information allows one to process that information with software. One of the most useful applications of this ability is to deliver individualized Web pages by processing XML-tagged data on the fly when a customer requests information. Such individualized pages can deliver just the information the customer needs in exactly the form they desire.
The Structural Characterization of Amavadin (1999)

Fly agaric accumulate vanadium in the form of amavadin, whose structure has been elucidated (see picture for the crystal structure). Amavadin contains one V<sup>IV</sup> center coordinated to two (S,S)-hidpa<sup>3-</sup> ligands (H<sub>3</sub> hidpa=2,2'-(hydroxyimino)dipropionic acid) through one η<sup>2</sup> -NO<sup>-</sup> group and two unidentate carboxylato groups from each ligand. The arrangement of the two η<sup>2</sup> -NO<sup>-</sup> groups leads to a chiral vanadium center, which has been characterized in both the Λ and Δ forms. The carboxylato groups of the amavadin anions bind cations, for example, Ca<sup>2+</sup> ions, and/or become involved in hydrogen bonding.
Drivers for software development method usage (2000)

In this research, the authors examine factors affecting the use of product development methods. Based on established behavioral theories, they develop and test a model that can explain, and hence predict, the extent of use of development methods. Although their model can be adapted to any development process, they apply it to software development. To test their model, they examine the combined effects of a number of important usage factors that contribute to the depth and breadth of use of two software development approaches: the waterfall model and prototyping. Two main constructs, process quality and facilitating conditions, are found to be the drivers of method usage. The dominating "facilitating conditions" and "process quality" indicators vary from one method to another product quality was not found to be a statistically significant factor in explaining usage. The authors' results are consistent with the view taken by the software process improvement movement, i.e., that a quality process will result in a quality product.
Experimental aortic intimal thickening. I. Morphology and source of intimal cells. (1974)

Repair to injury of the rabbit aorta was studied with special attention to the source of new intimal cells. Two types of injury, suture placement and electrocautery, were used to ascertain whether the type of injury significantly modifies the reparative response of the artery. Cell morphology and DNA synthesis, as determined by autoradiographic localization of tritiated thymidine uptake, were studied sequentially during the course of the repair reaction. Suture injury was the more reliable model for these studies because the magnitude of injury was quite comparable between animals, while with cauterization there was considerable variation in the magnitude of injury. The overall reparative response with the two types of injury was, however, similar. Cell division was first seen in the media adjacent to the injured focus and was followed by migration of medial cells into the intima. In the intima, medial cells continued to divide for a few days and then gradually matured from undifferentiated ovoid cells resembling monocytes to morphologically differentiated smooth muscle cells. Medial cells exhibiting DNA synthesis were both differentiated and undifferentiated smooth muscle cells, supporting previous reports that mature as well as undifferentiated smooth muscle cells are capable of mitosis. However, with injury and repair, the migrating cells appeared to be mainly undifferentiated since there was a predominance of these cells early in the repair reaction in the intima.
Glyphosate Inhibition of 5-Enolpyruvylshikimate 3-Phosphate Synthase from Suspension-Cultured Cells of <i>Nicotiana silvestris</i> (1984)

Treatment of isogenic suspension-cultured cells of Nicotiana silvestris Speg. et Comes with glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl]glycine) led to elevated levels of intracellular shikimate (364-fold increase by 1.0 millimolar glyphosate). In the presence of glyphosate, it is likely that most molecules of shikimate originate from the action of 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase-Mn since this isozyme, in contrast to the DAHP synthase-Co isozyme, is insensitive to inhibition by glyphosate. 5-Enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase (EC 2.5.1.19) from N. silvestris was sensitive to micromolar concentrations of glyphosate and possessed a single inhibitor binding site. Rigorous kinetic studies of EPSP synthase required resolution from the multiple phosphatase activities present in crude extracts, a result achieved by ion-exchange column chromatography. Although EPSP synthase exhibited a broad pH profile (50% of maximal activity between pH 6.2 and 8.5), sensitivity to glyphosate increased dramatically with increasing pH within this range. In accordance with these data and the pK(a) values of glyphosate, it is likely that the ionic form of glyphosate inhibiting EPSP synthase is COO(-)CH(2)NH(2) (+)CH(2)PO(3) (2-), and that a completely ionized phosphono group is essential for inhibition. At pH 7.0, inhibition was competitive with respect to phosphoenolpyruvate (K(i) = 1.25 micromolar) and uncompetitive with respect to shikimate-3-P (K(i)' = 18.3 micromolar). All data were consistent with a mechanism of inhibition in which glyphosate competes with PEP for binding to an [enzyme:shikimate-3-P] complex and ultimately forms the dead-end complex of [enzyme:shikimate-3-P:glyphosate].

Growth inhibition of Lewis lung carcinoma by an inorganic dye, Ruthenium Red. (1980)

The growth of subcutaneously transplanted Lewis lung carcinoma in BDF1 mice was inhibited by an inorganic dye, Ruthenium Red. The mean volume of the tumors of the mice which were given Ruthenium Red by daily ip injection of 5 mg/kg on days 1 approximately 10 was 28 and 39% of that of the controls at days 18 and 23 after transplantation, respectively. The median survival time (MST) of the treated mice was 27.8 days while that of the control was 23.0 days. The higher MST (32.5 days) was obtained when the dye was given at 2.5 mg/kg for 1 approximately 20 days, although the tumor volume in this group of mice was 51% of that of the control at day 18.
Dapsone in lichen planus. (1994)

To elucidate the mechanisms that are involved in the decrease of ceramide levels in atopic dry skin and in aged skin, we examined both the activities of beta-glucocerebrosidase, which is a major enzyme in ceramide production, and of ceramidase, which is an essential enzyme in ceramide degradation, in the stratum corneum of atopic dry skin and aged skin. The specimens of the stratum corneum of forearm skin were obtained by tape-stripping from 61 healthy volunteers and 23 patients with atopic uninvolved skin. The beta-glucocerebrosidase activity in the stratum corneum extracts was estimated using fluorescent 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside as the substrate. Ceramidase activity was determined using 14C-palmitoylsphingosine as the substrate. Among the atopic skin samples, neither beta-glucocerebrosidase nor ceramidase activities were different from those of age-matched healthy controls. Nor was the beta-glucocerebrosidase activity deficient in the aged skin samples as compared to that seen in samples from the young, healthy group. In contrast, there was an age-related upregulation in ceramidase activity. The results indicate that the decrease of ceramides in atopic dry skin may not be accompanied by reduced synthesis or by enhanced degradation, each of which is primarily attributable to the above two enzymes, respectively. The pathogenesis of aged dry skin can be explained, at least partially, in terms of elevated ceramidase activity, which results in a disturbance of the lamellar structure of the stratum corneum lipids.
Valuation of Guaranteed Annuity Options (2006)

This paper analyzes the problem of guaranteed annuity options (GAOs) attached to pension policies issued by life insurance companies in Britain. GAOs offer policyholders the right to convert the sum assured at normal retirement age into a life annuity at the better market rate (MAR) prevailing at the time of conversion and a guaranteed rate (GAR). The insurer provides the interest-rate options for the policyholder. In this paper, we attempt to value the GAO and extend the existing literature by considering surrender in pricing GAO. The valuation framework is built on the one-factor Cox-Ingersoll-Ross framework. We make use of the Least Squares Monte Carlo approach proposed by Longstaff and Schwartz (2001) to model policyholders' surrender behaviors. Our results show that the insurer might overestimate the price of GAO when ignoring the surrender behaviors. In addition, the option values are very sensitive to guaranteed annuity rates, long-term mean of interest rates, diffusion factors of interest-rate models, correlation coefficient between equity fund values and interest rates, and diffusion factors of equity fund value.
Gut microbiota composition and development of atopic manifestations in infancy: the KOALA Birth Cohort Study (2006)

This study demonstrates that differences in gut microbiota composition precede the development of atopy. Since E coli was only associated with eczema and C difficile was associated with all atopic outcomes, the underlying mechanisms explaining these association may be different.
