Punctuation Prediction with Transition-based Parsing (2013)

Punctuations are not available in automatic speech recognition outputs, which could create barriers to many subsequent text processing tasks. This paper proposes a novel method to predict punctuation symbols for the stream of words in transcribed speech texts. Our method jointly performs parsing and punctuation prediction by integrating a rich set of syntactic features when processing words from left to right. It can exploit a global view to capture long-range dependencies for punctuation prediction with linear complexity. The experimental results on the test data sets of IWSLT and TDT4 show that our method can achieve high-level performance in punctuation prediction over the stream of words in transcribed speech text. 1
The polymerization of adenosine 5'-diphosphate-ribose moiety of NAD by nuclear enzyme. II. Properties of the reaction product. (1967)

Abstract The radioactive acid-insoluble material, Product I, which was formed by rat-liver nuclear preparation from labeled NAD or labeled ATP with nicotinamide mononucleotide, has been partially purified. It has a peak at 3 S with sucrose density-gradient centrifugation, and a density of around 1.57 with Cs 2 SO 4 equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation. Product I was converted into the acid-soluble form by snake-venom phosphodiesterase. Product I was not digested by micrococcal nuclease, spleen phosphodiesterase, potato phosphodiesterase, potato nucleotide pyrophosphatase, spleen NAD nucleosidase, or trypsin. The radioactive acid-soluble substance, Product II, which was released by venom-phosphodiesterase digestion, was isolated from a Dowex 1 formate column. Product II showed absorption maxima at 261, 259, and 258 mμ under alkaline neutral and acidic conditions, respectively. The molar ratio of adenine (as adenosine), ribose, phosphorus and periodate consumption was 1:2:2:1. All phosphates were converted to inorganic phosphate by acid-phosphatase digestion. Structures of Products I and II were proposed.
Evidence for enhancement of critical current by intergrain Ag in YBaCuO-Ag ceramics (1989)

We report the evidence for enhancement of critical current density Jc by ∼50%, which occurs when ∼10 wt. % Ag is added to Y1Ba2Cu3O7−δ ceramics. The maximal Jc (∼700 A/cm2 at T=77 K) appears simultaneously with maximum YBaCuO compactness in the samples. The silver fills the intergranular space (holes) without Cu substitution, and the critical temperature Tc is not reduced from the bulk value (∼91 K). Normal-state resistivity of Ag-YBaCuO samples is decreased by an order of magnitude, and samples exhibit improved contact resistance and resistance to water. While the critical density is improved by adding ∼10 wt. % Ag, it decreases at higher Ag concentrations.
Nanoparticles prepared by the sol–gel method and their use in the formation of nanocomposites with polypropylene (2007)

Hybrid layered aluminosilicate nanoparticles (HLNP) containing octadecylamine (ODA) as the organic part, and silica nanoparticles with spherical morphology containing ODA (HSNP) or without ODA (SNP) were prepared by the sol–gel method and used for the for
Blood flow measurement in extracorporeal circulation using self-mixing laser diode (2010)

To measure blood flow rate in ex-vivo circulation, we propose an optical Doppler flowmeter based on the self-mixing effect within a laser diode (SM-LD). Advantages in adopting SM-LD techniques derive from reduced costs, ease of implementation and limited size. Moreover, the provided contactless sensing allows sensor reuse, hence further cost reduction. Preliminary measurements performed on bovine blood are reported, thus demonstrating the applicability of the proposed measurement method.
A Self-Learning Particle Swarm Optimizer for Global Optimization Problems (2011)

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been shown as an effective tool for solving global optimization problems. So far, most PSO algorithms use a single learning pattern for all particles, which means that all particles in a swarm use the same strategy. This monotonic learning pattern may cause the lack of intelligence for a particular particle, which makes it unable to deal with different complex situations. This paper presents a novel algorithm, called self-learning particle swarm optimizer (SLPSO), for global optimization problems. In SLPSO, each particle has a set of four strategies to cope with different situations in the search space. The cooperation of the four strategies is implemented by an adaptive learning framework at the individual level, which can enable a particle to choose the optimal strategy according to its own local fitness landscape. The experimental study on a set of 45 test functions and two real-world problems show that SLPSO has a superior performance in comparison with several other peer algorithms.
The gain-of-function GLI1 transcription factor TGLI1 enhances expression of VEGF-C and TEM7 to promote glioblastoma angiogenesis (2015)

We recently discovered that truncated glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (TGLI1) is highly expressed in glioblastoma (GBM) and linked to increased GBM vascularity. The mechanisms underlying TGLI1-mediated angiogenesis are unclear. In this study, we compared TGLI1- with GLI1-expressing GBM xenografts for the expression profile of 84 angiogenesis-associated genes. The results showed that expression of six genes were upregulated and five were down-regulated in TGLI1-carrying tumors compared to those with GLI1. Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and tumor endothelial marker 7 (TEM7) were selected for further investigations because of their significant correlations with high vascularity in 135 patient GBMs. TGLI1 bound to both VEGF-C and TEM7 gene promoters. Conditioned medium from TGLI1-expressing GBM cells strongly induced tubule formation of brain microvascular endothelial cells, and the induction was prevented by VEGF-C/TEM7 knockdown. Immunohistochemical analysis of 122 gliomas showed that TGLI1 expression was positively correlated with VEGF-C, TEM7 and microvessel density. Analysis of NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus datasets with 161 malignant gliomas showed an inverse relationship between tumoral VEGF-C, TEM7 or microvessel density and patient survival. Together, our findings support an important role that TGLI1 plays in GBM angiogenesis and identify VEGF-C and TEM7 as novel TGLI1 target genes of importance to GBM vascularity.
Early Recognition and Prediction of Gestures (2006)

This paper is concerned with an early recognition and prediction algorithm of gestures. Early recognition is the algorithm to provide recognition results before input gestures are completed. Motion prediction is the algorithm to predict the subsequent posture of the performer by using early recognition. In addition to them, this paper considers a gesture network for improving the performance of these algorithms. The performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated by experiments of real-time control of a humanoid by gestures
Parallel On-Chip Analysis of Single Vesicle Neurotransmitter Release (2013)

Real-time investigations of neurotransmitter release provide a direct insight on the mechanisms involved in synaptic communication. Carbon fiber microelectrodes are state-of-the-art tools for electrochemical measurements of single vesicle neurotransmitter release. Yet, they lack high-throughput capabilities that are required for collecting robust statistically significant data across multiple samples. Here, we present a chip-based recording system enabling parallel in vitro measurements of individual neurotransmitter release events from cells, cultured directly on planar multielectrode arrays. The applicability of this cell-based platform to pharmacological screening is demonstrated by resolving minute concentration-dependent effects of the dopamine reuptake inhibitor nomifensine on recorded single-vesicle release events from PC12 cells. The experimental results, showing an increased half-time of the recorded events, are complemented by an analytical model for the verification of drug action.
Calculation of radiation loss in integrated-optic tapers and Y-junctions (1982)

Mode conversion and radiation loss in integrated-optic tapers and Y-junctions are calculated by means of the beam propagation method combined with the effective refractive-index method. Simple design rules for the tapers and Y-junctions are derived from the obtained results.
CORONARY HEART DISEASE MORTALITY AND ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION IN FRAMINGHAM (1986)

The relationship between ethanol consumption and coronary heart disease was examined in the original Framingham Heart Study cohort (1948) with a 24-year follow-up from exam 2 (2,106 males and 2,639 females). Ethanol consumption shows a strong U-shaped relationship with coronary heart disease mortality for male nonsmokers and heavy smokers both in the raw age-adjusted data and in the Cox regression analyses, where ethanol consumption is modeled quadratically. No ethanol effects were found for female nonsmokers. The age-adjusted data suggest a U-shape curve for female smokers, although this was not confirmed by the Cox analysis. Separate analyses relating alcohol consumption to mortality from all causes showed similar effects except that the reduction in mortality for males was much less. For male coronary heart disease mortality, ethanol consumption was subdivided into beer, wine, and spirits consumption. These beverages were also modeled quadratically in the Cox analyses, and all showed strong U-shaped curves for both nonsmokers and heavy smokers. In nonsmokers, beer and wine show greater reductions in coronary heart disease mortality than spirits.
Concentration Dependent Scattering Coefficients of Intralipid Measured with OCT (2010)

The contribution of dependent and multiple scattering effects to the OCT-measured scattering coefficient was investigated at 800, 1300 and 1600 nm. The former plays a thus far overlooked role in quantitative μs measurements by OCT.
Interaction of thyroid hormone and hemoglobin. I. Nature of the interaction and effect of hemoglobin on thyroid hormone radioimmunoassay. (1980)

Gel filtration of human RBC lysate incubated with labeled T4 or T3 revealed co-elution of a major iodothyronine-binding fraction (R-2) and hemoglobin. Solutions of purified human hemoglobin and T3 also showed co-elution of hormone and hemoglobin. Because hematin and protoporphyrin were shown to bind labeled T3, the oxygen-binding site on hemoglobin was excluded as the site of iodothyronine-hemoglobin interaction. Analysis of hormone binding by heme and globin moieties showed T3 binding to be limited to the heme fraction. Addition of excess unlabeled T3 to hemoglobin or heme incubated with labeled T3 indicated 75% to 90% of hormone binding was poorly dissociable. These observations suggested that the presence of hemoglobin in RBC lysate or in serum could influence the measurement of T4 and T3 by specific RIA. Subsequent studies of the addition to serum of human hemoglobin revealed a significant reduction in T3 and T4 detectable by RIA in the presence of this protein. The effect was influenced by the concentration of hemoglobin and by duration and temperature of incubations of hemoglobin and serum prior to RIA. Incubated for 5 days at 4 degrees C, 14 sera containing 10 gm/dl hemoglobin showed a mean decrease in T3 concentration of 40% compared to sera incubated in the absence of hemoglobin (160.1 to 93.9 ng/dl, p less than 0.001); detectable serum T4 fell by 50% in 13 sera incubated under the same conditions (5.40 micrograms/dl without hemoglobin to 2.55 micrograms/dl in the presence of hemoglobin, p less than 0.001). Hemoglobin concentrations in serum as low as 0.1 and 0.5 gm/dl affected the RIAs significantly. Thus a major fraction of thyroid hormone binding in human RBC cytoplasm is accounted for by an interaction with hemoglobin. This interaction in serum or RBC lysates is a significant variable affecting iodothyronine determinations.
Voltage source converters in distributed generation systems (2008)

A large number of distributed generation (DG) units are being integrated into power systems at distribution level. Many of the DG units may be connected into power systems with power electronic interfaces, in particular, voltage source converters. Consequently, the operation and control modes of the voltage source converters determine the performance of the generation systems and play an essential role in affecting the security of the connected power systems. This paper discusses the operation and control of the power converter and investigates the behaviors of various types of DG units under power system fault conditions, including an induction generator, a synchronous generator and a voltage controlled voltage source converter.
Ensembling Local Learners Through Multimodal Perturbation (2005)

Ensemble learning algorithms train multiple component learners and then combine their predictions. In order to generate a strong ensemble, the component learners should be with high accuracy as well as high diversity. A popularly used scheme in generating accurate but diverse component learners is to perturb the training data with resampling methods, such as the bootstrap sampling used in bagging. However, such a scheme is not very effective on local learners such as nearest-neighbor classifiers because a slight change in training data can hardly result in local learners with big differences. In this paper, a new ensemble algorithm named Filtered Attribute Subspace based Bagging with Injected Randomness (FASBIR) is proposed for building ensembles of local learners, which utilizes multimodal perturbation to help generate accurate but diverse component learners. In detail, FASBIR employs the perturbation on the training data with bootstrap sampling, the perturbation on the input attributes with attribute filtering and attribute subspace selection, and the perturbation on the learning parameters with randomly configured distance metrics. A large empirical study shows that FASBIR is effective in building ensembles of nearest-neighbor classifiers, whose performance is better than that of many other ensemble algorithms.
Neutrophil Serine Proteinases Cleave Bacterial Flagellin, Abrogating Its Host Response-Inducing Activity (2004)

After bacterial infection, neutrophils dominate the cellular infiltrate. Their main function is assumed to be killing invading pathogens and resolving the inflammation they cause. Activated neutrophils are also known to release a variety of molecules, including the neutrophil serine proteinases, extracellularly. The release of these proteinases during inflammation creates a proteolytic environment where degradation of different molecules modulates the inflammatory response. Flagellin, the structural component of flagella on many bacterial species, is a virulence factor with a strong proinflammatory activity on epithelial cells and other cell types. In this study we show that both human and mouse neutrophil serine proteinases cleave flagellin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other bacterial species. More important, cleavage of P. aeruginosa flagellin by the neutrophil serine proteinases neutrophil elastase and cathepsin G resulted in loss of the biological activity of this virulence factor, as evidenced by the lack of innate host defense gene expression in human epithelial cells. The finding that flagellin is susceptible to cleavage by neutrophil serine proteinases suggests a novel role for these enzymes in the inflammatory response to infection. Not only can these enzymes kill bacteria, but they also degrade their virulence factors to halt the inflammatory response they trigger.
An efficient implementation of floating point multiplier (2011)

In this paper we describe an efficient implementation of an IEEE 754 single precision floating point multiplier targeted for Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA. VHDL is used to implement a technology-independent pipelined design. The multiplier implementation handles the overflow and underflow cases. Rounding is not implemented to give more precision when using the multiplier in a Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) unit. With latency of three clock cycles the design achieves 301 MFLOPs. The multiplier was verified against Xilinx floating point multiplier core.
Parthenogenetic Activation of Mouse Oocytes by Exposure to Strontium as a Source of Cytoplasts for Nuclear Transfer (1999)

Cell-cycle phase of the donor and recipient cells at the moment of nuclear transfer influences subsequent development of the reconstituted embryo. In order to study this effect, the precise cell-cycle phase of the recipient oocyte at the time of fusion must be known and this depends on reliable activation of oocytes in a protocol that has a low incidence of spontaneous activation. Mouse oocytes recovered before (8-10 hours post-human chorionic gonadotropin [hCG]) and after ovulation (14 and 18 hours post-hCG) were exposed to strontium ions in calcium magnesium-free M16 culture medium. The effect on development of haploid parthenotes of post-hCG age of the oocyte, the duration of exposure, and strontium concentration in the medium was determined. These experiments established a reliable method of parthogenetic activation of recently ovulated mouse oocytes, involving the culture of oocytes for 60 minutes in 25 mM strontium in a calcium magnesium-free M16 medium. This method of activation was also able to induce activation of preovulatory oocytes after a preincubation period in vitro. Only a low incidence of spontaneous activation was observed if oocytes were recovered before or immediately after ovulation (14 hours after hCG).
A 200 nV offset 6.5 nV/√Hz noise PSD 5.6 kHz chopper instrumentation amplifier in 1 μm digital CMOS (2002)

The simplest and most effective way of minimizing the influence of charge injection, is illustrated. Unlike in sampled data circuits, where charge injection is inseparable from the sampling instant, in a chopper amplifier, a tiny time gap can be provided for the error charge pulses created by the input switches to die away before the signal is allowed to proceed to the output stage. Staggering the clock edges of the demodulator slightly behind those of the modulator provides such a guard time. A fully-integrated CMOS chopper amplifier in a single-poly, 1/spl mu/m CMOS technology, demonstrates the potential of the chopper scheme described.
<title>Thermal and mechanical evaluation of micromachined planar spiral inductors</title> (2001)

Micromachined planar spiral inductors and transformers have been largely proposed for RF applications, using MEMS processes. Q-factors and self-resonant frequencies have been significantly increased by suspending such structures. However, thermal and mechanical properties are somewhat compromised. In this paper, a complete analysis of such parameters is presented through extensive finite element method (FEM) simulations. Partially released structure is proposed to avoid these troubles.
Biological Habit of Vespa Bicolor (2004)

Vespa bicolor is a kind of social insect in vespidae.Its biological habit research in northeastern Fujian Province shows:the female Vespa bicolor finishes its hibernation in the mist of May,and then finds a place to nidificate.Its haplometrosis takes 36 days to finish a 34-comb nest and the female wasp plays both roles of the worker wasp and the queen wasp.Its ova period lasts 3.5～5.5 d;its larva period lasts 10～12 d;its pupa period takes 10.5～12.5 d;its development period needs 24～30 d (it is closely related to temperature).Daily outing frequency of the female wasp has close relation with the local weather:its maximum can reach 42 times,per time is 6～22 min;worker wasps begin their field work when they are out of dormancy for three days;and the female wasp stops going out and invests all its energy in laying eggs (it only has a generation per year,they abandon their nests to hibernate in the mist of December).Parental generation living in groups and cooperating together contribute to Vespa bicolor′s existence and reproduction.
OSMDeepOD - Object Detection on Orthophotos with and for VGI (2017)

A great deal of the interesting information captured by aerial imagery is as yet unused, even though it could help to enrich maps and improve navigation. For this information to be made available, objects such as buildings or roads need to be recognized on images. This is laborious to do entirely manually, but non-trivial to perform computationally. In this paper, we present an automated method for detecting objects of a chosen class (pedestrian crosswalks) on orthophotos, a method which can be adapted for various classes of objects. The method uses a supervised machine-learning approach with a deep convolutional neural network. We re-trained the final layer of a pre-trained neural network using specific imagery and crowdsourced geographic information from the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. The result is an easily enhanceable and scalable application which is able to search for objects in aerial imagery. We achieved an accuracy of well over 95% for crosswalks and promising preliminary results for roundabouts.

A high capacity silicon–graphite composite as anode for lithium-ion batteries using low content amorphous silicon and compatible binders (2013)

In this study, silicon–graphite composites were prepared and investigated as anode materials for Li-ion batteries with small amounts of silicon and different binders. The silicon powders were prepared by ball-milling crystalline silicon for 100 h and 200 h. After 200 h, an average silicon particle size of 0.73 μm was obtained and XRD measurements confirmed the formation of an amorphous powder embedded within nanocrystalline regions. XPS analysis of the silicon samples showed that silicon particles were covered with a native silicon oxide layer that grows during ball-milling. Battery cycling of the silicon powders in half cells showed that the powder ball milled for 200 h gave the lowest first-cycle irreversible capacity and the highest reversible capacity reaching over 500 mA h g−1 after 50 cycles at C/12. Composites were made using graphite and only 5 wt% silicon powders. The silicon was found to be uniformly dispersed into the composites as evidenced by X-ray mapping and SEM. When tested in half cells using different binders, it was found that the polyetherimide binder showed the highest capacity reaching 514 mA h g−1 after 350 cycles at C/12, which is 1.6 times greater than commercial graphite anode. High rate cycling showed good capacity retention reaching half the capacity at 5 C.
