Affective game engines (2009)

The tremendous advances in gaming technologies over the past decade have focused primarily on the physical realism of the game environment and game characters, and the complexity and performance of game simulations and networking. However, current games are still lacking in the affective realism of the game characters, and the social complexity and realism of their interactions. To achieve the next leap in the level of engagement and effectiveness, particularly in the arena of serious games, gaming research needs to focus on enhancing the social and affective complexity and realism of the game characters, their interaction, and the game narrative as a whole. To achieve these goals, games and game development tools will need to provide functionality to support the recognition of user and game character emotions, real-time adaptation and appropriate responses to these emotions, and more realistic expression of emotions in game characters and user avatars. To support these functionalities, the games will need to construct affective models of the players, and include computational models of emotion within the game characters. In this paper, we discuss these functionalities, and suggest a set of requirements for an affective game engine, capable of supporting the development of more affectively realistic, engaging, and effective games. The discussion is organized around the functional requirements and the computational tasks necessary to support them. We emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate semantic primitives, and discuss how existing methods and techniques in affective computing and computational affective modeling contribute to the development of affective game engines and game development tools.

Influence of humidity on refractive index of polymers for optical waveguide and its temperature dependence (1998)

Humidity dependence of the refractive index of deuterated polymethylmethacylate (d-PMMA) is examined at a wavelength of 1.3 μm using the return loss method. The refractive index of d-PMMA increases as humidity increases at room temperature, while it decreases as humidity increases at temperatures higher than 60 °C. This humidity dependence was ascribed to the counterbalance between moisture sorption and swelling. Some hydrophobic polymers, such as silicone resin and fluorinated epoxy resin were affected by humidity to a lesser degree than d-PMMA.
Light Manipulation for Organic Optoelectronics Using Bio-inspired Moth's Eye Nanostructures (2014)

Organic-based optoelectronic devices, including light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and solar cells (OSCs) hold great promise as low-cost and large-area electro-optical devices and renewable energy sources. However, further improvement in efficiency remains a daunting challenge due to limited light extraction or absorption in conventional device architectures. Here we report a universal method of optical manipulation of light by integrating a dual-side bio-inspired moth's eye nanostructure with broadband anti-reflective and quasi-omnidirectional properties. Light out-coupling efficiency of OLEDs with stacked triple emission units is over 2 times that of a conventional device, resulting in drastic increase in external quantum efficiency and current efficiency to 119.7% and 366 cd A(-1) without introducing spectral distortion and directionality. Similarly, the light in-coupling efficiency of OSCs is increased 20%, yielding an enhanced power conversion efficiency of 9.33%. We anticipate this method would offer a convenient and scalable way for inexpensive and high-efficiency organic optoelectronic designs.
Substantial DNA damage from submicromolar intracellular hydrogen peroxide detected in Hpx <sup>-</sup> mutants of <i>Escherichia coli</i> (2005)

Since the discovery of catalase, it has been postulated that aerobic organisms generate enough oxidants to threaten their own fitness and, in particular, their genetic stability. An alternative is that these enzymes exist to defend the cell against more-abundant oxidants imposed by external sources. These hypotheses were tested directly through study of Hpx- (katG katE ahpCF) mutants of Escherichia coli, which lack enzymes to scavenge hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). These strains grew well in anaerobic medium but poorly when they were aerated. The Hpx- bacteria formed filaments and exhibited high rates of mutagenesis, both indicators of DNA damage. An additional recA mutation caused Hpx- cells to die rapidly upon aeration, even though the intracellular H2O2 was <1 microM. Spin-trap experiments detected substantial hydroxyl radicals, and cell-permeable iron chelators eliminated both the phenotypic defects and hydroxyl-radical formation, confirming that the Fenton reaction was responsible. An Hpx- oxyR strain exhibited even more DNA lesions than did the Hpx- mutant, indicating that the OxyR stress response induced protein(s) that suppressed DNA damage. One critical protein was Dps, an iron-sequestration protein, because Hpx- dps mutants exhibited sensitivity similar to that of the Hpx- oxyR mutant. These results reveal that aerobic E. coli generates sufficient H2O2 to create toxic levels of DNA damage. Scavenging enzymes and controls on free iron are required to avoid that fate. The rate constant of the Fenton reaction measured at physiological pH was much higher than under the acidic conditions that were used to determine the commonly cited value.
Investigating respiratory variation using a forehead reflectance pulse oximeter to identify airway obstruction for automated remote triage (2005)

An automated triage system called ARTEMIS has been developed in an effort to improve combat and multicasualty care within the battlefield or disaster zone. The status of airway, breathing, and circulation is critical in these types of situations. This preliminary study uses sleep apnea patients to determine whether certain features can be extracted from the photoplethysmograph of a Nonin/spl reg/ forehead reflectance pulse oximeter, which might be indicative of airway obstruction.
Novel Evidence Suggesting <i>Clostridium difficile</i> Is Present in Human Gut Microbiota More Frequently than Previously Suspected (2004)

Prevalence rate of Clostridium difficile in healthy human adults is believed to be very low. Our RT-PCR system using glass powder, which can eliminate PCR inhibitors, detected C. difficile toxin B mRNA in 16 of 30 fecal samples (53.3%) from healthy human adults. In contrast, we failed to detect toxin B in the same fecal samples by PCR using DNA templates extracted with phenol-chloroform. Our results suggest that PCR inhibitors in feces carried through phenol-chloroform extraction procedure might suppress the sensitivity of PCR and that C. difficile is actually present in human gut microbiota more frequently than previously suspected.

Frequency dependence of modal noise in multimode optical fibers (1980)

Under certain conditions a changing speckle pattern exists at the output plane of a multimode fiber, resulting in modal noise which can degrade the error performance of a fiber data link. Fiber motion is the usual cause of such speckle change, and Daino et al. have studied the first-order statistics of such modal noise, assuming a single frequency source. But source frequency variation can also cause modal noise; and source frequency diversity has been shown effective in its reduction. In this paper we use a speckle theory approach to study the frequency dependence of modal noise. We have measured and analyzed the correlation of two speckle patterns as a function of source frequency difference, and the speckle spatial frequency distribution as a function of fiber parameters. We have also measured the speckle contrast as a function of fiber length for several sources and fiber types. Such information permits the prediction of the modal noise statistics, from which corresponding changes in error rates can be derived.

Seating Orthosis Design fop Prevention of Decubitus Ulcers (1995)

Decubitus ulcers can lead to very serious medical consequences for nonambulatory people who have impaired sensation. Associated medical treatment can be extremely expensive. Factors contributing to the formation of ulcers are discussed. Seating orthosis design characteristics that can reduce ulcer-generating factors are presented. Particular attention is given to design features and custom fabrication techniques related to redistributing pressure away from at-risk locations and to minimizing shear.

ERKs and p38 Kinase Phosphorylate p53 Protein at Serine 15 in Response to UV Radiation (2000)

Phosphorylation of the p53 tumor suppressor protein is likely to play an important role in regulating its activity. Serine 15 phosphorylation of p53 leads to a stabilization of p53 by reducing its interaction with murine double minute 2, a negative regulatory partner. Recently, p53 was reported to be activated and phosphorylated at serine 15 following UV radiation. However, the signaling pathway that mediates UV-induced phosphorylation is less well characterized. Here, we provide evidence that UVB-induced phosphorylation of p53 at serine 15 is mediated directly by ERKs and p38 kinase. We find that in a mouse JB6 epidermal cell line, ERKs and p38 kinase form a complex with p53 following UVB radiation. Inhibition of ERKs or p38 kinase activity by the use of a dominant negative mutant of ERK2 or p38 kinase or their respective specific inhibitor, PD98059 or SB202190, results in abrogation of UVB-induced phosphorylation of p53 at serine 15. Strikingly, incubation of UVB-activated ERKs or p38 kinase immunoprecipitated complex with exogenous p53 shows serine 15 phosphorylation of both exogenous and co-precipitated endogenous p53 protein. Additionally, active recombinant ERK1/2 and p38 kinase but not JNKs are also able to phosphorylate p53 at serine 15 in vitro. Furthermore, pretreatment of cells with PD98059 or SB202190 blocks p53-dependent transcription activity but increases the level of p53 co-precipitated murine double minute. These results strongly suggest that both ERKs and p38 kinase have a direct role in UVB-induced phosphorylation of p53 at serine 15 in vivo.

The renal lesion in angiokeratoma corporis diffusum (Fabry's disease). (1963)

Electron microscopic details of the glomerular and tubular lesions in a 26-year-old man with angiokeratoma corporis diffusum are presented. Though unable to concentrate urine above a specific gravity of 1.012, this patient showed preservation of the ability to acidify and alkalinize the urine following oral loads of ammonium chloride (150 mEq./day) and sodium bicarbonate (158 mEq./day) for several days. This observation is in contrast to previously reported findings and suggests that the regularly observed hyposthenuria in this disease does not depend on defects in ion transfer in the distal tubule system.
MIC and fungicidal activity of terbinafine against clinical isolates of Aspergillus spp (1988)

Terbinafine and amphotericin B MICs for 90% of strains tested were 1.6 and 0.4 micrograms/ml against Aspergillus fumigatus (16 strains), 0.8 and 3.2 micrograms/ml against Aspergillus flavus (10 strains), and 0.4 and 1.6 micrograms/ml against Aspergillus niger (10 strains), respectively. For all species tested, the minimal inhibitory and fungicidal concentrations for 90% of strains of both drugs were identical and the inoculum size did not have a major effect on the results.

Growth-stimulating effect of pharmacological doses of estrogen on androgen-dependent Shionogi carcinoma 115 in vivo but not in cell culture. (1987)

Shionogi carcinoma 115 (SC115) had been accepted for 20 years as an androgen-dependent mouse mammary tumor, the growth of which is stimulated only by androgen. However, we very recently found that the growth of SC115 tumors in vivo is stimulated not only by physiological doses of androgen but also by pharmacological doses of estrogen through the estrogen receptor system. In the present study, the growth-stimulative effect of estrogen on an androgen-dependent cloned cell line (SC-3) derived from SC115 cells, which showed androgen- and estrogen-dependent growth in vivo, was examined in vitro. In serum-supplemented medium (Eagle's minimum essential medium containing 2% steroid-free fetal calf serum), testosterone or 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (10(-9)-10(-6) M) significantly stimulated the growth of SC-3 cells (3.2-fold increase in cell number at day 10 in culture containing 10(-8) M androgens) and changed the shape of SC-3 cells from epithelial to spindle (fibroblast-like), whereas 17 beta-estradiol (10(-12)-10(-6) M) even in high concentrations had no such effects on SC-3 cells. Contrary to the effect of 17 beta-estradiol in vivo, 17 beta-estradiol as well as cyproterone acetate (10(-8)-10(-6) M) inhibited the growth-stimulative effect of testosterone (10(-8) M) on SC-3 cells in a dose-dependent manner in the serum-supplemented medium. The anti-androgen and 17 beta-estradiol also showed comparable competitive effects on [3H]testosterone binding to androgen receptor in SC-3 cells. In serum-free medium [Ham's F-12:Eagle's minimum essential medium (1:1, v/v) containing 0.2% bovine serum albumin], testosterone [10(-8) M] also markedly stimulated the growth of spindle-shaped SC-3 cells, and epidermal growth factor (1 ng/ml) enhanced the growth-stimulative effect of testosterone, whereas 17 beta-estradiol (10(-8)-10(-6) M) in the absence or presence of epidermal growth factor had no growth-stimulative effect on SC-3 cells. We conclude that the growth of SC115 cells is stimulated by either physiological doses of androgen or pharmacological doses of estrogen in vivo but only by androgen in cell culture.
The Effect of EGR on Low-Speed Pre-Ignition in Boosted SI Engines (2011)

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The spark ignition (SI) engine has been known to exhibit several different abnormal combustion phenomena, such as knock or pre-ignition, which have been addressed with improved engine design or control schemes. However, in highly boosted SI engines - where the engine displacement is reduced and turbocharging is employed to increase specific power - a new combustion phenomenon, described as Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI), has been exhibited. LSPI is characterized as a pre-ignition event typically followed by heavy knock, which has the potential to cause degradation of the engine. However, because LSPI events occur only sporadically and in an uncontrolled fashion, it is difficult to identify the causes for this phenomenon and to develop solutions to suppress it. Some countermeasures exist that OEMs can use to avoid LSPI, such as load limiting, but these have drawbacks. As an alternative measure to suppress LSPI, the benefits of operating the engine with various levels of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) have been explored. Besides a reduction in general engine knock tendencies, recent engine tests indicate that light to moderate levels of EGR (5 - 10%) reduce the incidence of LSPI dramatically. Additionally it was recognized that the addition of about 6% EGR allows an increase in fueling amount of 5-10% and an increase in engine torque of 10-13% (when operating with knock limited spark advance) without increasing the frequency and severity of LSPI. By operating the engine with 10% EGR an increase in fueling rates of 15% and engine torque of 17% was possible while reducing LSPI frequency by roughly 80% and LSPI intensity by approximately 30% over non-EGR conditions.</div></div>
Local wall motion classification of stress echocardiography using a Hidden Markov Model approach (2008)

In this paper, we present a new approach to regional heart functional analysis employing a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) approach for cardiac disease classification. We examine the use of an HMM for local wall motion classification based on stress echocardiography. A wall segment model is developed for a normal and an abnormal heart and the experiments are performed on rest and stress sequences. We achieve a good accuracy of classification, particularly for the normal data but with also promising results for the abnormal case.
