Conflict-free motion of multiple mobile robots based on decentralized motion planning and negotiation (2002)

This article presents a novel approach to conflict-resolution for multiple mobile robots. By use of online motion planning, a framework for negotiation is developed, which permits quick decentralized and parallel decision-making. The key objective of the negotiation procedure is dynamic assignment of robot motion priorities. Thus, robots involved in a local conflict situation cooperate in planning and execution of the lowest cost motion paths without application of any centralized components. The features required for individual and cooperative motion are embedded in a hybrid control architecture. Results obtained from realistic simulation of a multirobot environment and also from experiments performed with two mobile robots demonstrate the flexibility and the efficiency of the proposed method.

Childhood OSAS is associated with a wide range of upper respiratory tract perturbations and is not limited to adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy.
Metallopanstimulin as a novel tumor marker in sera of patients with various types of common cancers: implications for prevention and therapy. (1996)

Metallopanstimulin (MPS) is a 9.5-kDal subunit "zinc finger" protein which is expressed in a wide variety of actively proliferating cells and tumor tissues (J. Biol. Chem. 268:21198-21204, 1993; Cell Growth & Diff. 5:811-825, 1994). A sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) has been developed to measure circulating levels of MPS and MPS-like proteins. The RIA was evaluated for its ability to detect accurately elevations of MPS-immunoreactive material in the blood of patients with various types of neoplastic diseases. MPS concentrations were determined in the blood of 147 healthy subjects having no evidence of neoplastic disease, in 260 patients with nonmalignant diseases, and in 225 patients diagnosed with various types of cancer such as prostate, colorectal, lung, head and neck (epithelial malignancies), neuroendocrine, central nervous system, etc. Elevated MPS levels identified patients with neoplasias with greater than 90% confidence. In patients, not having neoplastic disease the MPS levels were lower than 10 ng/mL (82% of the population). In untreated patients with cancer, the MPS level range was 20-50 ng/mL and in stage M1b (metastasis to the bones) the MPS levels were extremely high (100 to 1000 ng/mL). In M1b patients that did not respond to therapy, the MPS levels remained very high ( > 100 ng/mL). In M1b patients that went into remission after treatment, the MPS levels were reduced. The MPS test may be useful as an aid in: 1) the early detection of a wide variety of neoplastic conditions and 2) the prognosis and management of cancer patients by following the changes in the concentrations of MPS in sera. Moreover, the results suggest that the combined use of the MPS test with other currently available tumor maker tests may significantly improve the chances of identifying a large proportion of active oncogenic processes by serodiagnosis.

Losses in Flow Normal to Plane Screens (1958)

Abstract Experimental data are correlated for total-pressure losses in subsonic-compressible, real-fluid flow normal to plane round-wire screens of square mesh, including new data at very high screen Reynolds number. A theory is developed for subsonic-compressible flow normal to plane screens of sharp-edged elements of any geometry, yielding predicted total-pressure losses which compare reasonably well with experimental data. The effect of Reynolds number on loss is found to be small, except at very low Reynolds number.
Expression of type VI, IX and XI collagen genes and alternative splicing of type II collagen transcripts in fracture callus tissue in mice (1995)

The levels of six mRNAs coding for constituent alpha-chains of three minor collagens of cartilage were analyzed in an experimental fracture model in normal and transgenic Del1 mice harboring a deletion mutation of exon 7 in the type II collagen gene. Reduced and retarded chondrogenesis in Del1 mice was evident in callus samples as reduced mRNA levels for the cartilage specific type IX and XI collagens at days 7 and 9 of fracture healing. Analysis of the calluses for alternative splicing of pro alpha 1(II) collagen mRNA also suggested retarded chondrogenesis in Del1 calluses. Another developmentally regulated step in limb development, a switch between alternative promoters of the alpha 1(IX) collagen gene, was also seen during fracture healing but was less obvious in Del1 calluses. Finally, the current data suggest that the abnormality in bone remodelling in Del1 mice involves activation of the genes coding for alpha 1(XI) and alpha 2(VI) collagens.

Human cytomegalovirus infection inhibits cell cycle progression at multiple points, including the transition from G1 to S (1996)

Human cytomegalovirus inhibits the growth of human foreskin fibroblast cells by 12 h after infection. Analysis of the cellular DNA content of infected cells by flow cytometry demonstrated that cytomegalovirus does not arrest cell cycle progression at a single point. At least two blockages occur, one of which is in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The G1 arrest introduced by cytomegalovirus infection blocks S-phase entry after serum stimulation.
Knowledge discovery in telecommunication services data using Bayesian network models (1995)

Fraud and uncollectible debt are multi-billion dollar problems in the telecommunications industry. Because it is difficult to know which accounts will go bad, we are faced with the difficult knowledge-discovery task of characterizing a rare binary outcome using large amounts of noisy, high-dimensional data. Binary characterizations may be of interest but will not be especially useful in this domain. Instead, proposing an action requires an estimate of the probability that a customer or a call is uncollectible. This paper addresses the discovery of predictive knowledge bearing on fraud and uncollectible debt using a supervised machine learning method that constructs Bayesian network models. The new method is able to predict rare event outcomes and cope with the quirks and copious amounts of input data. The Bayesian network models it produces serve as an input module to a normative decision-support system and suggest ways to reinforce or redirect existing efforts in the problem area. We compare the performance of several conditionally independent models with the conditionally dependent models discovered by the new learning system using real-world datasets of 4-6 million records and 600-800 million bytes.
C. G. Jung y la psicología moderna (1961)

Nos encontrabamos precisamente en el estudio de la obra de Jung e ibamos a reunirnos en nuestra hebdomadaria sesion del Seminario de Psicologia Profunda, cuando fuimos sorprendidos por la tranquila muerte de este maestro de la psicologia moderna, a quien el gran misterio encontro en pleno sueno. Y no podia ser de otro modo siendo la muerte mas un acto de significacion personal, que termino de vivir. Tuvimos ocasion feliz de conocerlo durante el segundo congreso mundial de psiquiatria reunido en Zurich, en 1957, del cual fue presidente honorario.
Turbulence (1937)

When I received the invitation to deliver this Memorial Lecture, and “Turbulence” was chosen as the subject, I remembered that my good friend, G. I. Taylor, gave a very stimulating talk on the same subject ten years ago. It was his G. I. Symons Memorial Lecture before the Royal Meteorological Society. He succeeded in fulfilling his job without using one mathematical symbol, the President of the Society, Sir Gilbert Walker, insisting very definitely that “turbulence without tears” was what he wanted. I do not think that I can duplicate Taylor's achievement completely; however, I shall try to reduce the mathematics to a minimum.
The<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>Quorum-Sensing Molecule<i>N</i>-(3-Oxododecanoyl)Homoserine Lactone Contributes to Virulence and Induces Inflammation In Vivo (2002)

Pseudomonas aeruginosa has two well-characterized quorum-sensing systems, Las and Rhl. These systems are composed of LuxR-type proteins, LasR and RhlR, and two acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) synthases, LasI and RhlI. LasI catalyzes the synthesis of N-(3-oxododecanoyl)homoserine lactone (3O-C12-HSL), whereas RhlI catalyzes the synthesis of N-butyryl-homoserine lactone. There is little known about the importance of AHLs in vivo and what effects these molecules have on eukaryotic cells. In order to understand the role of AHLs in vivo, we first tested the effects that deletions of the synthase genes in P. aeruginosa had on colonization of the lung. We demonstrate that in an adult mouse acute-pneumonia model, deletion of the lasI gene or both the lasI and rhlI genes greatly diminished the ability of P. aeruginosa to colonize the lung. To determine whether AHLs have a direct effect on the host, we examined the effects of 3O-C12-HSL injected into the skin of mice. In this model, 3O-C(12)-HSL stimulated a significant induction of mRNAs for the cytokines interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha) and IL-6 and the chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP-2), monocyte chemotactic protein 1, MIP-1beta, inducible protein 10, and T-cell activation gene 3. Additionally, dermal injections of 3O-C12-HSL also induced cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2) expression. The Cox-2 enzyme is important for the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins and is associated with edema, inflammatory infiltrate, fever, and pain. We also demonstrate that 3O-C12-HSL activates T cells to produce the inflammatory cytokine gamma interferon and therefore potentially promotes a Th1 environment. Induction of these inflammatory mediators in vivo is potentially responsible for the significant influx of white blood cells and subsequent tissue destruction associated with 3O-C12-HSL dermal injections. Therefore, the quorum-sensing systems of P. aeruginosa contribute to its pathogenesis both by regulating expression of virulence factors (exoenzymes and toxins) and by inducing inflammation.
Real-Time Collaborative Design With Heterogeneous CAD Systems Based on Neutral Modeling Commands (2006)

This paper presents an integration-based solution for developing a real-time collaborative design (co-design) platform on heterogeneous computer-aided design (CAD) systems. Different from the visualization-based approaches, the product models are allowed to be constructed and modified from various sites together in the proposed collaborative design platform. Our approach is based on a mechanism for the translation between system modeling operations (SMOs) and neutral modeling commands (NMCs). Every operation given by a user on one site is translated into a NMC and transmitted to all the other sites through the network, and then the received NMC is converted into corresponding SMOs on every other site, instantaneously. Since only the commands but not the product data are transferred, the data size under transmission is greatly reduced, so that a real-time synchronization can be achieved with a standard network bandwidth. In addition, by developing system-dependent SMO↔NMC translators on different client CAD systems, users on different sites could join the collaboration by using their familiar CAD systems; this is the benefit that cannot be offered by the homogeneous co-design systems. The prototype implementation proves that our approach works well for integrating various current popular commercial CAD systems into a real-time collaborative design platform.
The interaction between alphaA- and alphaB-crystallin is sequence-specific. (2006)

This study establishes for the first time that proper orientation of residues contributing to RS-1 and RS-2 sites in alphaB-crystallin is important for homooligomerization and optimal subunit interaction with alphaA-crystallin.

Integrated Nanocavity Plasmon Light Sources for On-Chip Optical Interconnects (2016)

Next generation on-chip light sources require high modulation bandwidth, compact footprint, and efficient power consumption. Plasmon-based sources are able to address the footprint challenge set by both the diffraction limited of light and internal laser physics such as plasmon utilization. However, the high losses, large plasmonic-momentum of these sources hinder efficient light coupling to on-chip waveguides, thus, questioning their usefulness. Here we show that plasmon light sources can be useful devices; they can deliver efficient outcoupling power to on-chip waveguides and are able to surpass modulation speeds set by gain-compression. We find that waveguide-integrated plasmon nanocavity sources allow to transfer about ∼60% of their emission into planar on-chip waveguides, while sustaining a physical small footprint of ∼0.06 μm2. These sources are able to provide output powers of tens of microwatts for microamp-low injection currents and reach milliwatts for higher pump rates. Moreover, the direct modulation bandwidth exceeds that of classical, gain compression-limited on-chip sources by more than 200%. Furthermore, these novel sources feature high power efficiencies (∼1 fJ/bit) enabled by both minuscule electrical capacitance and efficient internal photon utilization. Such strong light–matter interaction devices might allow redesigning photonic circuits that only demand microwatts of signal power in the future.
Deep Learning for Answer Sentence Selection (2014)

Answer sentence selection is the task of identifying sentences that contain the answer to a given question. This is an important problem in its own right as well as in the larger context of open domain question answering. We propose a novel approach to solving this task via means of distributed representations, and learn to match questions with answers by considering their semantic encoding. This contrasts prior work on this task, which typically relies on classifiers with large numbers of hand-crafted syntactic and semantic features and various external resources. Our approach does not require any feature engineering nor does it involve specialist linguistic data, making this model easily applicable to a wide range of domains and languages. Experimental results on a standard benchmark dataset from TREC demonstrate that---despite its simplicity---our model matches state of the art performance on the answer sentence selection task.
The delayed-emesis syndrome from cisplatin: phase III evaluation of ondansetron versus placebo. (1992)

Cisplatin may evoke both an acute emetic response during the first 24 hours following treatment and a less well-recognized syndrome of delayed emesis. While delayed emesis is usually less severe in terms of frequency of vomiting episodes, the problem continues to result in significant morbidity. In comparison with acute emesis, the exact pathogenesis of the delayed emesis syndrome remains unclear. Although a combination of oral metoclopramide and dexamethasone is effective in many patients in preventing delayed emesis, almost 50% continue to experience at least one emetic episode when treated with this regimen. A phase III multicenter study has evaluated oral ondansetron versus placebo in the prevention of the delayed-emesis syndrome in 50 patients during days 2 through 5 following high-dose cisplatin administration. Although the daily rates of complete emetic control, failure, and control of nausea favor ondansetron, this trial is statistically inconclusive in establishing efficacy of ondansetron as a single agent in the prevention of delayed emesis. Ondansetron was well tolerated in the dose and schedule used.
miR-375 Targets 3′-Phosphoinositide–Dependent Protein Kinase-1 and Regulates Glucose-Induced Biological Responses in Pancreatic β-Cells (2008)

Our findings provide evidence for a role of a pancreatic-specific microRNA, miR-375, in the regulation of PDK1, a key molecule in PI 3-kinase signaling in pancreatic beta-cells. The effects of glucose on miR-375 are compatible with the idea that miR-375 is involved in glucose regulation of insulin gene expression and beta-cell growth.
Susceptibilities of <i>Yersinia pestis</i> Strains to 12 Antimicrobial Agents (2000)

Ninety-two strains of Yersinia pestis recovered over a 21-year period were evaluated for susceptibility to traditional and newer antimicrobial agents. In vitro resistance was noted only against rifampin and imipenem (approximately 20% of strains). The most active compounds (MIC at which 90% of the isolates tested are inhibited) against Y. pestis were cefixime, ceftriaxone, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and trovafloxacin.
멀리온을 레일로 활용한 커튼월의 시공에 따른 경제성 평가 (2016)

Today, many kind of buildings are higher than those of previous generations, and Curtain Wall is adapted broadly as an outer wall material. But weather and environmental condition could cause problems in curtain wall construction in most construction projects. High wind speed and unplanned lifting equipment`s allocation could cause construction delay and cost increase. To solve these problems, we suggest using a curtain wall mullion as a rail to lift curtain wall which is less affected wind speed. And we would like to show a preliminary data of its economic advantage evaluation.
Ontogeny of humoral heart rate regulation in the embryonic mouse (2001)

Catecholamines, acetylcholine, and adenosine are known to influence cardiac function, yet the effects of these agents on mammalian embryonic myocardium are largely unknown. To address this issue, we compared the chronotrophic effects of adenosinergic, adrenergic, and muscarinic agents on cultured murine embryos from postcoital day (PC) 8.0, when the fusing heart tubes first begin to beat, to PC 14, when cardiogenesis is essentially complete. At PC 8.0 and older, A(1)-adenosine receptor (A(1)AR) activation significantly decreased heart rates. Adrenergic stimulation caused modest increases in heart rates (145-155% of baseline) beginning at PC 9.0. Muscarinic activation decreased heart rates only after PC 13. When receptor gene expression was examined, A(1)ARs and beta(1)ARs were expressed in isolated hearts as early as PC 9.0, and beta(2)ARs and m(2)-muscarinic receptor genes were expressed at PC 11.0. These results identify the adenosinergic system as the earliest and most potent regulator of embryonic cardiac function and show that prenatal responsiveness to catecholamines and acetylcholine develops at later embryonic stages.
Multi-scale locally low-rank noise reduction for high-resolution dynamic quantitative cardiac MRI (2017)

Evaluation of myocardial T <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sub> times is conventionally limited to a single temporal snapshot of the cardiac cycle, leaving the dependence between functional and tissue characterization unexplored. We recently proposed a technique that alleviates this limitation by acquiring dynamic quantitative myocardial T <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sub> maps. However, tradeoffs between temporal resolution, scan duration and SNR limit the spatial resolution. In this work, we propose a multi-scale locally low rank noise reduction approach without parameter-tuning to enable high acceleration rates in the acquisition, facilitating superior spatial and temporal resolutions in dynamic myocardial T <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sub> mapping.
Simultaneous Spatial and Spectral Transparency in Ultralong Fiber Lasers (2008)

We demonstrate that ultralong Raman lasers can be used to generate a transmission medium with simultaneous transparency over the spatial and the spectral domains. Numerical calculations show this cross-domain transparency to be preserved when the medium is used for transmitting high-intensity signals, which makes ultralong lasers an ideal experimental test bed for the study of multifrequency nonlinear interactions in optical fiber waveguides. Full spatiospectral transparency is experimentally obtained over a 20 nm x 20 km window.
