Consciousness as Integrated Information: a Provisional Manifesto (2008)

The integrated information theory (IIT) starts from phenomenology and makes use of thought experiments to claim that consciousness is integrated information. Specifically: (i) the quantity of consciousness corresponds to the amount of integrated information generated by a complex of elements; (ii) the quality of experience is specified by the set of informational relationships generated within that complex. Integrated information (Phi) is defined as the amount of information generated by a complex of elements, above and beyond the information generated by its parts. Qualia space (Q) is a space where each axis represents a possible state of the complex, each point is a probability distribution of its states, and arrows between points represent the informational relationships among its elements generated by causal mechanisms (connections). Together, the set of informational relationships within a complex constitute a shape in Q that completely and univocally specifies a particular experience. Several observations concerning the neural substrate of consciousness fall naturally into place within the IIT framework. Among them are the association of consciousness with certain neural systems rather than with others; the fact that neural processes underlying consciousness can influence or be influenced by neural processes that remain unconscious; the reduction of consciousness during dreamless sleep and generalized seizures; and the distinct role of different cortical architectures in affecting the quality of experience. Equating consciousness with integrated information carries several implications for our view of nature.
A New Approach for Advertising CTR Prediction Based on Deep Neural Network via Attention Mechanism (2018)

Click-through rate prediction is critical in Internet advertising and affects web publisher's profits and advertiser's payment. The traditional method of obtaining features using feature extraction did not consider the sparseness of advertising data and the highly nonlinear association between features. To reduce the sparseness of data and to mine the hidden features in advertising data, a method that learns the sparse features is proposed. Our method exploits dimension reduction based on decomposition, takes advantage of the attention mechanism in neural network modelling, and improves FM to make feature interactions contribute differently to the prediction. We utilize stack autoencoder to explore high-order feature interactions and use improved FM for low-order feature interactions to portray the nonlinear associated relationship of features. The experiment shows that our method improves the effect of CTR prediction and produces economic benefits in Internet advertising.
Creep Analysis of Laminates (1975)

Results are presented for an analytical investigation of the creep response of laminated composites. This analysis relates the creep response of the composite to the fiber-matrix creep properties. First, the method of predicting the biaxial creep response of a unidirectional composite is described and some qualitative results given. Some interesting effects are the time dependence of the coefficients of thermal expansion of the composite and the pseudo-primary creep stage in a composite whose constituents only exhibit secondary creep. The analysis is then extended to symmetric laminates and the creep response of boron-epoxy and boron-aluminum composites are investigated.

Serologic Classification of Feline Caliciviruses by Plaque-Reduction Neutralization and Immunodiffusion (1975)

SUMMARY Serologic classification of 14 isolates of feline caliciviruses was carried out, using plaque-reduction neutralization tests. Sixty to 200 plaque-forming units of virus were employed against 20 antibody units of hyperimmune goat antiserums prepared to individual isolates. The results established that these viruses were related in various degrees, but no 2 were identical. Arrangements in order of the greatest intergroup reactions yielded essentially 1 serotype with the exception of 1 virus showing 1-way neutralization reactions with heterologous isolates. The geographic origin, the site of viral isolation, or the plaque size had no relationship with the neutralization pattern. The F-9 isolate that showed the greatest intergroup reactions was proposed as the possible reference virus. The viruses were indistinguishable by using gel-diffusion analysis against cat antiserums.
Stimulus-Induced Changes of Reflectivity Detected by Optical Coherence Tomography in Macaque Retina (2013)

The fOCT signals in the macaque retina consist of at least three components: light-scattering changes from the photoreceptor inner segment ellipsoids, light-scattering changes from the outer segments, and slow light-scattering changes from the blood vessels in the inner retina. This technique has the potential of mapping local neuronal activity three-dimensionally and may help in the diagnosis of retinal disorders of different retinal origins.
Electrical transport properties and magnetic cluster glass behavior of Nd0.7Sr0.3MnO3 nanoparticles (2006)

The transport and magnetic properties have been investigated in Nd0.7Sr0.3MnO3 nanoparticles prepared by the sol-gel method. The resistivity (ρ) increases with the decrease of the particle size due to the enhancement of the grain boundary effect. ρ(T) shows two distinct transitions for all the samples such as metal-insulator transition and transition due to the barrier caused by the grain boundary effect. The thermopower (S) is found to be negative and at high temperature S follows the adiabatic small polaron hopping theory. In the metallic region the spin wave contribution is found to be dominant in the temperature dependence of the thermopower. The magnetoresistance (MR) of the ultrafine particles increases with the decrease of particle size indicating substantial contribution from the grain boundaries. Spin polarized intergrain tunneling effect plays an important role in the MR of a smaller size particle, whereas in the case of samples of higher dimension spin fluctuation contributes predominantly. The field cooled (FC) and zero field cooled (ZFC) magnetizations display a paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition at TC with a large magnetic irreversibility. The ZFC peak temperature TB and the irreversibility temperature (Tirr) are field dependent and decrease with the decrease of the particle dimension. Magnetic measurement indicates that particles are single domain with the particles of highest dimension lying in the multidomain region. A cluster glasslike behavior of the particles is revealed from the analysis of the dc and ac magnetization data.
Ophrynon (Hymenoptera: Orussidae) in California: diversity, distribution and phylogeny (2010)

Abstract Three new species of Ophrynon Middlekauff, 1983, O. dominiqueae, O. martini and O. patricki, are added to the only species known previously, O. levigatus Middlekauff, 1983. All species are described, illustrated and keyed. Cladistic analyses under different weighting conditions retrieved Ophrynon as monophyletic, but the topologies produced for the higher ophrynopine taxa are quite variable. The possible closest relatives of Ophrynon are Argentophrynopus Vilhelmsen & D.R. Smith, 2002 and Kulcania Benson, 1935. The internal phylogeny of Ophrynon is O. martini + (O. levigatus + (O. dominiqueae + O. patricki)). The distribution of Ophrynon is restricted to central and southern California. Supposedly, the species belong to the californo-eremial distribution type and are the result of a comparatively recent speciation process.
Association of toxic shock toxin-1 determinant with a heterologous insertion at multiple loci in the Staphylococcus aureus chromosome (1988)

Most Staphylococcus aureus strains associated with toxic shock syndrome and producing toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) require tryptophan because of a genetic defect in tryptophan biosynthesis. The association between TSST-1 production and tryptophan auxotrophy was not correlated with the phage type, the colonization site, or the disease status of the patient from whom the isolate came. Protoplast fusion and transformation mapping located the genetic determinant of TSST-1 production (tst) very close to the trp operon in such strains and very close to tyrB in a Trp+ TSST-1+ strain. Southern blot hybridization of ClaI-restricted chromosomal DNA with a tst-specific probe revealed a common homologous segment in all of the Trp+ strains with tst linked to tyrB. These results confirmed that the tst determinant in Trp- strains is located at one site, whereas in Trp+ TSST-1+ strains the determinant is located elsewhere on the S. aureus chromosome. It is suggested that the TSST-1 determinant is associated with the insertion of a transposonlike segment into several sites on the S. aureus chromosome.
OPTICAL SURFACE ANALYSIS OF THE HEAD DISK INTERFACE OF THIN FILM DISKS (1994)

This paper describes the design, operation, theory, and data interpretation of an Optical Surface Analyzer (OSA). The OSA can measure carbon wear, lubricant depletion/accumulation, surface roughness, and lubricant alteration on carbon coated thin film disks. This device can measure an Angstrom of carbon wear or lubricant deplction/accumulation. The OSA can also measure debris generation and lubricant degradation through a measurement of optical index change. The lateral resolution of the OSA is approximately 5 by 10 microns and the bandwidth of the device is 2 MHz. The small device size allows it to be used within a test stand environment.
Measurement of the de Broglie Wavelength of a Multiphoton Wave Packet (1999)

A fourth-order Young interference experiment was done to demonstrate a practical way to measure the de Broglie wavelength of a two-photon wave packet. A two-photon collinear beam is generated by type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion. By modifying the transverse field profile of the pump laser beam that generates the two-photon beam we demonstrate that it is possible to measure the de Broglie wavelength of the single-photon constituents of the two-photon wave packet, the de Broglie wavelength of the two-photon wave packet as a whole and an ill defined intermediate de Broglie wavelength between the two cases.
Construction of tomato genomic DNA libraries in a binary‐BAC (BIBAC) vector (1999)

Summary This is the first report of large insert genomic DNA libraries constructed in a binary‐BAC (BIBAC) vector. Genomic DNA libraries containing approximately 4.6 haploid nuclear genomic equivalents were constructed for Lycopersicon esculentum (cv. Mogeor) and Lycopersicon pennellii (LA716) in the BIBAC2 vector. The L. esculentum library has an average insert size of 125 kb and is comprised of 42 272 individual colonies stored as frozen cultures in a 384‐well format (108 plates). The L. pennellii library has an average insert size of 90 kb and is comprised of 53 760 individual clones (140 384‐well plates). In each of the libraries, it is estimated that 90% of the colonies contain genomic DNA inserts. The composition of the L. esculentum and L. pennellii libraries was determined by analyzing a series of randomly selected clones. The L. esculentum library was surveyed for clones containing chloroplast DNA (1.4%), mitochondrial DNA (0.012%) and repetitive DNA motifs. BIBAC clones that may contain a gene of interest can be identified from these libraries by colony hybridization with homologous or heterologous probes or by PCR pooling techniques. Once identified, BIBAC genomic DNA library clones are immediately suitable for Agrobacterium tumefaciens ‐mediated plant transformation.
Experimental and Analytical Transonic Flutter Characteristics of a .Geared-Elevator Configuration (1980)

The flutter model represented the aft fuselage and empennage of a proposed supersonic transport airplane and had an all movable horizontal tail with a geared elevator. It was tested mounted from a sting in the transonic dynamics tunnel. Symmetric flutter boundaries were determined experimentally at Mach numbers from 0.7 to 1.14 for a geared elevator configuration (gear ratio of 2.8 to 1.0) and an ungeared elevator configuration (gear ratio of 1.0 to 1.0). Gearing the elevator increased the experimental flutter dynamic pressures about 20 percent. Flutter calculations were made for the geared elevator configuration by using two analytical methods based on subsonic lifting surface theory. Both methods analyzed the stabilizer and elevator as a single, deforming surface, but one method also allowed the elevator to be analyzed as hinged from the stabilizer. All analyses predicted lower flutter dynamic pressures than experiment with best agreement (within 12 percent) for the hinged elevator method. Considering the model as mounted from a flexible rather than rigid sting in the analyses, had only a slight effect on the flutter results but was significant in that a sting related vibration mode was identified as a potentially flutter critical mode.
Gene Therapy for Thyroid Cancer: Current Status and Future Prospects (2004)

Despite multimodality treatment for thyroid cancer, including surgical resection, radioiodine therapy, thyrotropin (TSH)-suppressive thyroxine treatment, and chemotherapy/radiotherapy, survival rates have not improved over the last decades. Therefore, development and evaluation of novel treatment strategies, including gene therapy, are urgently needed. A variety of gene therapy approaches have been evaluated for the treatment of follicular cell-derived and medullary thyroid cancer, including corrective gene therapy (p53 restoration, expression of a dominant negative RET mutant), cytoreductive gene therapy (suicide gene/prodrug strategy herpes simplex virus-thymidine kinase [HSV-tk]/ganciclovir, antiangiogenic therapy with endostatin) and immunomodulatory gene therapy (expression of interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-12). Furthermore, cloning of the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) gene has paved the way for the development of a novel cytoreductive gene therapy strategy based on NIS gene transfer followed by the application of radioiodine therapy ((131)I). NIS gene delivery into medullary and follicular cell-derived thyroid cancer cells has been shown to be capable of establishing or restoring radioiodine accumulation and might therefore represent an effective therapy for medullary and dedifferentiated thyroid tumors that lack iodide accumulating activity. The data summarized in this review article clearly demonstrate that the currently available strategies represent potentially curative novel therapeutic approaches for future gene therapy of thyroid cancer. The combination of different therapeutic genes has been demonstrated to be very useful to enhance therapeutic efficacy and seems to have a promising role at least as part of a multimodality approach for advanced thyroid cancer.
A prospective analysis of the Ab response to <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> before and after a malaria season by protein microarray (2010)

Abs are central to malaria immunity, which is only acquired after years of exposure to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf). Despite the enormous worldwide burden of malaria, the targets of protective Abs and the basis of their inefficient acquisition are unknown. Addressing these knowledge gaps could accelerate malaria vaccine development. To this end, we developed a protein microarray containing approximately 23% of the Pf 5,400-protein proteome and used this array to probe plasma from 220 individuals between the ages of 2-10 years and 18-25 years in Mali before and after the 6-month malaria season. Episodes of malaria were detected by passive surveillance over the 8-month study period. Ab reactivity to Pf proteins rose dramatically in children during the malaria season; however, most of this response appeared to be short-lived based on cross-sectional analysis before the malaria season, which revealed only modest incremental increases in Ab reactivity with age. Ab reactivities to 49 Pf proteins measured before the malaria season were significantly higher in 8-10-year-old children who were infected with Pf during the malaria season but did not experience malaria (n = 12) vs. those who experienced malaria (n = 29). This analysis also provided insight into patterns of Ab reactivity against Pf proteins based on the life cycle stage at which proteins are expressed, subcellular location, and other proteomic features. This approach, if validated in larger studies and in other epidemiological settings, could prove to be a useful strategy for better understanding fundamental properties of the human immune response to Pf and for identifying previously undescribed vaccine targets.

Output Vibration Measurements of Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids (2006)

The BAHA processors differ in the output acceleration they can achieve with differing loads. The volume control setting has little impact on accelerations produced for most processors. The live-head responses are similar to the dry skull in frequencies of more than 500 Hz.
Cheletrope Reaktion vinyloger Enollactone (1975)

Abstract Gasphase thermolysis above 220° of 2(3H)‐oxepinones 2 and 2(3H)‐furanones 5 gives carbon monoxide and the corresponding unsaturated carbonyl compounds 3, 4 and 6. The preparative value of these cheletropic processes is demonstrated.
Crowd Analysis for Congestion Control Early Warning System on Foot Over Bridge (2019)

Crowds occur in a variety of situations like concerts, rallies, marathons, stadiums, railway stations, etc. Crowd analysis is essential from the point of view of safety and surveillance, abnormal behavior detection and thereby reducing the chance of a mishap. Generally, congestion in the crowd can lead to severe problems like a stampede. This congestion is due to increasing crowd count; thereby increasing the crowd density in regions and abnormal crowd motion. Most of the congestion control approaches follow a hardware-oriented approach. This paper proposes a software-oriented approach, Congestion Control Early Warning System (CCEWS), for congestion control with the help of object detection and object tracking technique. Object detection is performed by following the faster R-CNN architecture in which Google inception model is used as a pre-trained CNN model and with the help of proposed object tracking technique the crowd abnormality is analyzed. The proposed congestion control technique exhibits quite significant results on the proposed dataset made from the virtual simulation of FOB (foot over bridge) scenario.

State of South Dakota's child: 1995. (1996)

The total number of births in South Dakota declined again in 1994 to 10,504 with a .6% decrease in white babies and a 11% decrease in American Indian babies. The percent of low birth weight (LBW) newborns in South Dakota is lower than that observed nationally yet, increased in 1994 to 5.9%, the highest percent reported since 1974. These LBW newborns contributed to 79% of South Dakota's 1994 neonatal (less than 28 day mortality). Although there was a decrease in the total number of infant deaths in South Dakota, the infant mortality rate remained at 9.5 compared to the US rate of 7.9. The neonatal mortality rate was also higher than the US rate (5.4 versus 5.0) as was the post neonatal rate (4.1 versus 2.9). The post neonatal mortality rate in 1994 for infants of color (8.1) was the lowest ever recorded. In recent years the state's perinatal mortality rate that combines the fetal and neonatal mortality rates has shown a decline, possibly reflecting advances in care available during pregnancy. Recognizing the importance of prenatal care to perinatal outcome, the prevention of alcohol-related birth defects is considered in this year's report. Several screening instruments are presented with a discussion of the complex inter and intrapersonal dynamics that must be considered when women with drinking problems are identified and helped during pregnancy.
