A framework for detecting unnecessary industrial data in ETL processes (2014)

Extract transform and load (ETL) is a critical process used by industrial organisations to shift data from one database to another, such as from an operational system to a data warehouse. With the increasing amount of data stored by industrial organisations, some ETL processes can take in excess of 12 hours to complete; this can leave decision makers stranded while they wait for the data needed to support their decisions. After designing the ETL processes, inevitably data requirements can change, and much of the data that goes through the ETL process may not ever be used or needed. This paper therefore proposes a framework for dynamically detecting and predicting unnecessary data and preventing it from slowing down ETL processes - either by removing it entirely or deprioritizing it. Other advantages of the framework include being able to prioritise data cleansing tasks and determining what data should be processed first and placed into fast access memory. We show existing example algorithms that can be used for each component of the framework, and present some initial testing results as part of our research to determine whether the framework can help to reduce ETL time.
Gaussian-to-Bessel beam transformation using a split refracting system (1993)

A two-element refracting system is designed to transform a Gaussian laser beam into a diffraction-free Bessel beam. The resulting input and output surfaces are almost spherical, which makes for easy implementation of the system.

Super-long aligned TiO<sub>2</sub>/carbon nanotube arrays (2010)

5 mm long aligned titanium oxide/carbon nanotube (TiO(2)/CNT) coaxial nanowire arrays have been prepared by electrochemically coating the constituent CNTs with a uniform layer of highly crystalline anatase TiO(2) nanoparticles. While the presence of the TiO(2) coating was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction, the resultant TiO(2)/CNT coaxial arrays were demonstrated to exhibit minimized recombination of photoinduced electron-hole pairs and fast electron transfer from the long TiO(2)/CNT arrays to external circuits. This, in conjunction with the aligned macrostructure, facilitates the fabrication of TiO(2)/CNT arrays for various device applications, ranging from photodetectors to photocatalytic systems. Thus, the millimeter long TiO(2)/CNT arrays represent a significant advance in the development of new macroscopic photoelectronic nanomaterials attractive for a variety of device applications beyond those demonstrated in this study.
Prediction of shear wave velocity using empirical correlations and artificial intelligence methods (2014)

Good understanding of mechanical properties of rock formations is essential during the development and production phases of a hydrocarbon reservoir. Conventionally, these properties are estimated from the petrophysical logs with compression and shear sonic data being the main input to the correlations. This is while in many cases the shear sonic data are not acquired during well logging, which may be for cost saving purposes. In this case, shear wave velocity is estimated using available empirical correlations or artificial intelligent methods proposed during the last few decades. In this paper, petrophysical logs corresponding to a well drilled in southern part of Iran were used to estimate the shear wave velocity using empirical correlations as well as two robust artificial intelligence methods knows as Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Back-Propagation Neural Network (BPNN). Although the results obtained by SVR seem to be reliable, the estimated values are not very precise and considering the importance of shear sonic data as the input into different models, this study suggests acquiring shear sonic data during well logging. It is important to note that the benefits of having reliable shear sonic data for estimation of rock formation mechanical properties will compensate the possible additional costs for acquiring a shear log.
Ice Crystal Size Distributions in Dynamically Frozen Model Solutions and Ice Cream as Affected by Stabilizers (1999)

Ice crystal size distributions of dynamically frozen model solutions and ice cream after hardening were determined through image analysis using low temperature scanning electron microscopy. The effect of the components of ice cream were studied through a series of model solutions and compared with ice cream. The ice crystal diameter at 50% of the cumulative distribution function for different formulations showed a good linear correlation to total solids and ice content. The latter had a better correlation to account for the effect of type of sweetener on ice content. In general, higher overruns reduced ice crystal sizes, whereas lower overruns had no impact on distributions because they did not affect the microstructure of the frozen product. Stabilizers did not directly affect initial ice crystal size distribution for any of the model solutions or ice cream. Most of the differences observed were explained by the different amount of air incorporated affecting the microstructure or the reduction of ice content according to amount and type of ingredients.
Vinblastine for recurrent Hodgkin's disease following autologous bone marrow transplant. (1998)

Vinblastine provides effective palliation with low toxicity in recurrent Hodgkin's disease following transplant. These results suggest that long-term vinblastine therapy may be potentially curative and should be considered as initial therapy for such patients.
Trade unions and collective bargaining (1993)

The authors assert that changing world markets and new technologies are driving industrial restructuring. The ability of developing countries and the new transitional economies to compete in the global marketplace will depend on their ability to transform industrial relations policies involving trade unions and collective bargaining so that they promote flexibility in the workplace and encourage the formation and effective use of human resources. History has shown, they say, that there are certain key moments of transition in industrial relations systems. After that time, systems get set and are hard to modify. Often these key moments are the result of legislative changes (such as the National Labor Relations Act and the emergence of public sector unions after the burgeoning of public sector legislation in the United States). Sometimes they are the result of key historical or economic junctures (such as the postwar reconstruction in Japan and Germany, and independence movements in the developing world). Recent pressures for structural change in the developing world present an opportunity for major transitions in industrial relations. Drawing on the Japanese and German experiences, as well as experiences in the developing world, the authors focus on lessons that can be applied in guiding this transformation. Workers participation in decisionmaking, they contend, is critical for bringing about the essential popular acceptance of changes that will come with industrial restructuring. It is also important to coordinate and integrate industrial relations policy with other social, legal, economic, and educational policies. The education system, for example, should not be overproducing college graduates when there is an undersupply of unskilled and skilled workers.
Antitumor Action of a<sub>1</sub>-Adrenoceptor Blockers on Human Bladder, Prostate and Renal Cancer Cells (2012)

The present study investigated the antitumor action of α(1)-adrenoceptor blockers on human bladder, prostate and renal cancer cells. For bladder cancer cell lines used here such as 253J, 5637, KK-47, T24 and UM-UC-3 cells, prazosin, a selective α(1)-adrenoceptor blocker, reduced cell viability at concentrations more than 30 µmol/l. Likewise, naftopidil, a blocker of α(1A)- and α(1D)-adrenoceptors, reduced cell viability for all the bladder cancer cells used here in a concentration (10-100 µmol/l)-dependent manner, with a much greater advantage than prazosin. Naftopidil also reduced cell viability for human prostate cancer cell lines such as DU145, LNCap and PC-3 cells and ACHN human renal cancer cells, with a much higher potential than prazosin. Thus, the results of the present study suggest that naftopidil could be a beneficial antitumor drug for the treatment of urological cancers.
An Output Oriented Super-Efficiency Model For Considering Time Lag Effect (2015)

There exists some time lag between the consumption of<br> inputs and the production of outputs. This time lag effect should be<br> considered in calculating efficiency of decision making units (DMU).<br> Recently, a couple of DEA models were developed for considering<br> time lag effect in efficiency evaluation of research activities. However,<br> these models can’t discriminate efficient DMUs because of the nature<br> of basic DEA model in which efficiency scores are limited to ‘1’. This<br> problem can be resolved a super-efficiency model. However, a super<br> efficiency model sometimes causes infeasibility problem. This paper<br> suggests an output oriented super-efficiency model for efficiency<br> evaluation under the consideration of time lag effect. A case example<br> using a long term research project is given to compare the suggested<br> model with the MpO model.
Male sterility in maize (2005)

Gametophyte development is a highly coor- dinated process that requires interactions between sporo- phytic and gametophytic tissues in reproductive struc- tures. Male gametophyte development occurs in anthers and proceeds through a series of well-defined develop- mental stages. Disruption of normal anther development often results in male sterility (i.e., the inability to produce functional pollen). Male sterility has been widely studied in response to both its biological significance and com- mercial use in hybrid seed production. These studies have led to the identification of numerous male sterile mutants that can be classified into two groups based on their pattern of inheritance. Genic male sterility results when lesions in nuclear-encoded genes disrupt normal anther development; over 40 genic male sterility loci af- fecting nearly all stages of development have been identi- fied. Cytoplasmic male sterility (cms) is a maternally in- herited inability to produce viable pollen that is associat- ed with novel mitochondrial open reading frames (mtORFs). In maize, three major types of cms, which can be distinguished by molecular markers and the nuclear- encoded restorer genes that overcome the deleterious ef- fects of the mtORF, have been identified. Significant progress has been made in understanding the fundamen- tal basis of male sterility over the past 80 years. In this re- view recent developments in male sterility research are discussed with particular emphasis on genetic defects and molecular and cytological characterizations.
Unbalanced three-phase control using offset-voltage for H-bridge multilevel inverter with faulty power cells (2008)

In this paper, unbalanced three-phase control method is proposed to increase the fault tolerance for H-bridge multilevel inverter under the conditions of faulty power cells. It is possible to generate a balanced three-phase line-to-line voltage by phase-shifting and bypassing faulty power cells with a minimum voltage drop. In this method, the concept of voltage modulation by using offset voltage is applied to an unbalanced three-phase control method. Especially, it is possible to use the maximum output voltage of inverter by adopting the real time unbalanced control method of phase voltage irrespective of the fault location and the number of disabled power cells. Also, the feasibility of the proposed method is proved by the H-bridge multilevel inverter test composed of 7-level.
Multiple Non-reducing Chain Termini Isolated from Bovine Corneal Keratan Sulfates (1996)

Keratan sulfate-containing proteoglycans were isolated from bovine cornea (15-month-old to 3-year-old animals) and digested with the enzyme, keratanase II. The released oligosaccharides, which included non-reducing termini and repeat region oligosaccharides but not linkage regions, were reduced with alkaline borohydride and fractionated on a Spherisorb column. These oligosaccharides were examined by 600-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy using one- and two-dimensional methods and, in addition to some oligosaccharide alditols previously recovered from skeletal keratan sulfate, the following new capping structures were identified: NeuAcalpha2-6Galbeta1-4GlcNAc(S)-ol, NeuAcalpha2-3Gal(S)beta1-4GlcNAc(S)beta1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc(S )-ol, NeuGcalpha2-6Galbeta1-4GlcNAc(S)beta1-3Galbeta1-4Gl cNA c(S)-ol, NeuGcalpha2-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc(S)beta1-3Galbeta1-4Gl cNA c(S)-ol, NeuGcalpha2-3Gal(S)beta1-4GlcNAc(S)beta1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc(S )-ol, NeuGcalpha2-3Gal(S)beta1-4GlcNAc(S)beta1-3Gal(S)beta1-4GlcNAc(S)-o l, Galalpha1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc(S)beta1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc( S)-ol, Galalpha1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc(S)beta1-3Gal(S)beta1-4GlcNAc(S)- ol, GlcNAc(S)beta1-3Gal(S)beta1-4GlcNAc(S)-ol, and GalNAc(S)beta1-3Gal(S)beta1-4GlcNAc(S)-ol. These structures represent seven families of capping residues, whose relative molar proportions are given in parentheses: NeuAcalpha(2-3)- (12%), NeuAcalpha(2-6)- (41%), NeuGcalpha(2-3)- and NeuGcalpha(2-6)- families (12%), Galalpha(1-3)- (26%), GalNAc(S)beta(1-3)- (5%), and GlcNAc(S)beta(1-3)- (4%). It is not clear, at present, where each of these structures occurs on the bi-antennary N-linked corneal keratan sulfate chains, which themselves occur within three keratan sulfate proteoglycan species. However, examination of the relative proportions of the capping to the repeat structures and knowledge of the average molecular size suggests that the sum of these non-reducing termini represents the caps of two antennae.

SDDR: light-weight, secure mobile encounters (2014)

Emerging mobile social apps use short-range radios to dis-cover nearby devices and users. The device discovery proto-col used by these apps must be highly energy-efficient since it runs frequently in the background. Also, a good protocol must enable secure communication (both during and after a period of device co-location), preserve user privacy (users must not be tracked by unauthorized third parties), while providing se-lective linkability (users can recognize friends when strangers cannot) and efficient silent revocation (users can permanently or temporarily cloak themselves from certain friends, unilater-ally and without re-keying their entire friend set). We introduce SDDR (Secure Device Discovery and Recog-nition), a protocol that provides secure encounters and satisfies all of the privacy requirements while remaining highly energy-efficient. We formally prove the correctness of SDDR, present a prototype implementation over Bluetooth, and show how ex-isting frameworks, such as Haggle, can directly use SDDR. Our results show that the SDDR implementation, run continuously over a day, uses only ∼10 % of the battery capacity of a typical smartphone. This level of energy consumption is four orders of magnitude more efficient than prior cryptographic protocols with proven security, and one order of magnitude more effi-cient than prior (unproven) protocols designed specifically for energy-constrained devices. 1
Renal effect of aqueous extract from Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix in normal rats. (1987)

The renal effect of Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix extract was examined in normal rats. A single intraperitoneal administration of the extract led to appreciable increments of urine volume, and urinary excretion of urea and creatinine. The extract also induced natriuretic, kaliuretic, and phosphaturic responses. Furthermore, treatment with Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix significantly increased glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow, and renal blood flow.
Competitive Genomic Screens of Barcoded Yeast Libraries (2011)

By virtue of advances in next generation sequencing technologies, we have access to new genome sequences almost daily. The tempo of these advances is accelerating, promising greater depth and breadth. In light of these extraordinary advances, the need for fast, parallel methods to define gene function becomes ever more important. Collections of genome-wide deletion mutants in yeasts and E. coli have served as workhorses for functional characterization of gene function, but this approach is not scalable, current gene-deletion approaches require each of the thousands of genes that comprise a genome to be deleted and verified. Only after this work is complete can we pursue high-throughput phenotyping. Over the past decade, our laboratory has refined a portfolio of competitive, miniaturized, high-throughput genome-wide assays that can be performed in parallel. This parallelization is possible because of the inclusion of DNA 'tags', or 'barcodes,' into each mutant, with the barcode serving as a proxy for the mutation and one can measure the barcode abundance to assess mutant fitness. In this study, we seek to fill the gap between DNA sequence and barcoded mutant collections. To accomplish this we introduce a combined transposon disruption-barcoding approach that opens up parallel barcode assays to newly sequenced, but poorly characterized microbes. To illustrate this approach we present a new Candida albicans barcoded disruption collection and describe how both microarray-based and next generation sequencing-based platforms can be used to collect 10,000-1,000,000 gene-gene and drug-gene interactions in a single experiment.

A polymer-based interface restores light sensitivity in rat blind retinas (2013)

Purpose: Sight restoration is one of the new frontiers for prosthetic devices that enable the electrical stimulation of neurons. In particular, diseases that affect the retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptors but preserve the inner retinal layers are preferential targets for implantation of visual prostheses. We recently discovered that primary neurons can be successfully grown onto a transparent photovoltaic organic polymer and electrically stimulated by light. This result encouraged us to test the efficacy of this method in retinas explanted from albino rats with reproducibly induced photoreceptor degeneration due to light damage. Methods: We investigated the ability of the polymer layer to restore light sensitivity in retinas explanted from albino rats with a light-induced degeneration of the photoreceptor layer. Acutely dissected retinas were placed on the organic polymer in a sub-retinal configuration (i.e., external layers in contact with the polymer). Light stimulation of the degenerate retina was observed by monitoring multi-unit activity and field potentials with an extracellular electrode positioned in the retinal ganglion cell layer. Results: Multi-unit activity recordings showed that a light stimulus 16-fold lower than the safe limit for pulsed illumination elicited intense spiking activity in degenerate retinas placed on polymer-coated substrates to levels indistinguishable from those recorded in control retinas. Moreover, to evaluate the efficiency of the interface, a dose-response analysis of spiking activity versus light intensity were performed in degenerate retinas. Spiking activity was observed in degenerate retinas over the polymer with a response threshold below 0.3 Î¼W/mm2, a linear increase in a range corresponding to daylight irradiance, and a response saturation above 100 Î¼W/mm2 (considered the safe limit for chronic illumination). A 4-fold increase in the amplitude of the light response at saturation and a significant left shift of the dose-response curves were obtained in retinas placed over the polymer-coated interface respect to degenerate retinas on glass substrates. Conclusions: Our finding indicate that the interface fully mimicks functional photoreceptors in activating the processing of the inner retina and is able to rescue normal light sensitivity. These results broaden the possibility of developing a new generation of fully organic prosthetic devices for sub-retinal implants.
Nonlinear optical properties of silicon nanocrystals grown by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (2002)

The real and imaginary parts of third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) have been measured for silicon nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 matrix, formed by high temperature annealing of SiOx films prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Measurements have been performed using a femtosecond Ti–sapphire laser at 813 nm using the Z-scan technique with maximum peak intensities up to 2×1010 W/cm2. The real part of χ(3) shows positive nonlinearity for all samples. Intensity-dependent nonlinear absorption is observed and attributed to two-photon absorption processes. The absolute value of χ(3) is on the order of 10−9 esu and shows a systematic increase as the silicon nanocrystalline size decreases. This is due to quantum confinement effects.
