Additive light field displays (2016)

We propose a see-through additive light field display as a novel type of compressive light field display. We utilize holographic optical elements (HOEs) as transparent additive layers. The HOE layers are almost free from diffraction unlike spatial light modulator layers, which makes this additive light field display more advantageous when modifying the number of layers, thickness, and pixel density compared with conventional compressive displays. Meanwhile, the additive light field display maintains advantages of compressive light field displays. The proposed additive light field display shows bright and full-color volumetric images in high definition. In addition, users can view real-world scenes beyond the displays. Hence, we expect that our method can contribute to the realization of augmented reality. Here, we describe implementation of a prototype additive light field display with two additive layers, evaluate the performance of transparent HOE layers, describe several results of display experiments, discuss the diffraction effect of spatial light modulators, and analyze the ability of the additive light field display to express uncorrelated light fields.
A Probabilistic and RIPless Theory of Compressed Sensing (2011)

This paper introduces a simple and very general theory of compressive sensing. In this theory, the sensing mechanism simply selects sensing vectors independently at random from a probability distribution <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">F</i> ; it includes all standard models-e.g., Gaussian, frequency measurements-discussed in the literature, but also provides a framework for new measurement strategies as well. We prove that if the probability distribution <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">F</i> obeys a simple incoherence property and an isotropy property, one can faithfully recover approximately sparse signals from a minimal number of noisy measurements. The novelty is that our recovery results do not require the restricted isometry property (RIP) to hold near the sparsity level in question, nor a random model for the signal. As an example, the paper shows that a signal with <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</i> nonzero entries can be faithfully recovered from about <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</i> log <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">n</i> Fourier coefficients that are contaminated with noise.
A Switched-Capacitor Single-ended to Differential stage for A/D conversion of IRFPA ROIC (2012)

This paper presents a Switched-Capacitor Single-ended to Differential (SC-STD) stage for A/D conversion of an Infrared Focal Plane Array (IRFPA) Readout Integration Circuit(ROIC). The SC-STD stage converts the output of the Capacitive Trans-Impedance Amplifier (CTIA) into differential signals, which can be used as the input of the subsequent A/D conversion. A novel Switched-Capacitor Common-Mode Feedback (SC-CMFB) technique with only two capacitors and single phase clock is proposed. Performances of the SC-STD stage are verified by a 14-bit column-paralleled Successive-Approximation A/D converter which is fabricated in a 0.35um CMOS-based process technology. The SFDR of the A/D converter is up to 93dB at a sampling clock of 31.25 KHz with an input signal of 1.009 KHz. The THD of the SC-STD circuit is up to -94dB at a 1V Vpp input of 1.009 KHz.
The pharmacologic basis of high dose chemotherapy with haematopoietic stem cell support for solid tumours (2001)

The theoretical basis of high dose chemotherapy with haematopoietic stem cell support (HDT) for solid tumours is the presumption of a linear, steep dose-response relationship for chemotherapy conditioning agents. We review preclinical pharmacologic studies evaluating steep dose-response relationships for different chemotherapeutic agents, identified through a MED-LINE and CANCER-LIT search of the English medical literature from January 1966 to December 1999. Only BCNU, melphalan, nitrogen mustard, and the combination of thiotepa and cyclophosphamide demonstrated steep dose-response relationships over a wide dose-range. The pharmacologic evidence for the use of other antineoplastic agents for HDT in solid tumours is non-existent. More preclinical studies are needed for a rational development of this therapeutic approach for solid tumours.
Nitridation-Driven Conductive Li<sub>4</sub>Ti<sub>5</sub>O<sub>12</sub> for Lithium Ion Batteries (2008)

To modify oxide structure and introduce a thin conductive film on Li4Ti5O12, thermal nitridation was adopted for the first time. NH3 decomposes surface Li4Ti5O12 to conductive TiN at high temperature, and surprisingly, it also modifies the surface structure in a way to accommodate the single phase Li insertion and extraction. The electrochemically induced Li4+deltaTi5O12 with a TiN coating layer shows great electrochemical properties at high current densities.
MOSFET gate open failure analysis in power electronics (2013)

The compliance to the fault tolerant operation requirement for power electronics is commonly assessed with reference to fault models applicable at component level. For switching MOSFET, the fault models include the short-circuit and open-circuit failures, implicitly assuming that the Gate open failure is equivalent to a switch open or short failure. MOSFET Gate open failure, also called floating Gate failure, may however entail a Drain to Source channel conduction with non-zero impedance and the subsequent power dissipation in the failed device may prove critical because of the thermal failure propagation risk. The present paper is dedicated to that question. It is shown that a power MOSFET with floating Gate is driven by leakage current from whatever initial conduction status either into a steady-state dissipative status or into run-away due to thermal instability. The analysis is confirmed by practical tests. As a conclusion, provisions to mitigate the MOSFET Gate open failure are proposed to be implemented at MOSFET level and/or at converter design level.
Formation Mechanism and Size Control in One-Pot Synthesis of Mercapto-Silica Colloidal Spheres (2011)

Mercapto-silica spheres with controllable size from ∼150 nm to ∼3.5 μm and narrow size distribution have been prepared in water using a one-pot synthesis, in which 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) was used as the sole silica source and ammonia as the base catalyst. The hydrolysis of MPS at the early stage of the reaction produces amphiphilic silicate species which initiate the self-emulsification of the system and lead to the formation of oil-in-water emulsion droplets. Further hydrolysis and condensation promote the nucleation and growth of the mercapto-silica spheres inside the emulsion droplets. These mercapto-silica spheres are both structurally and functionally different from typical silica particles prepared from silicon alkoxides. Understanding the formation mechanism allows systematic tuning of the size of mercapto-silica spheres in a wide range by changing the amount of precursor, the concentration of ammonia, the amount of additional surfactants, and the reaction time. We find that Ostwald ripening may occur quickly if the spheres are kept in the reaction solution, resulting in significant broadening of the particle size distribution. In order to obtain uniform and stable samples, it is important to quench the growth of the mercapto-silica spheres by separating them from the original reaction mixture and then storing them in solvents that can prevent further ripening.
On the impact of 802.11n frame aggregation on end-to-end available bandwidth estimation (2014)

We consider for the first time available bandwidth estimation (ABE) in the context of 802.11n, which is fast replacing the legacy 802.11a/b/g networks. We experimentally show that the frame aggregation (FA) feature of 802.11n is the dominant one among 802.11n features affecting the ABE. Using an indoor 802.11n wireless testbed, we compare three ABE tools (WBest, DietTopp and pathChirp) in various cross-traffic scenarios. We find that FA significantly hurts the accuracy of all ABE tools; DietTopp and pathChirp are relatively more robust than WBest. Because faster available bandwidth estimation and less intrusiveness are desirable properties of any ABE tool and WBest satisfies them relatively better than the other two tools, we conduct an in-depth investigation into the harmful effect of FA on ABE using WBest. This in turn led us to come up with two key design principles to counter FA effects: (1) treating aggregated probes as one jumbo probe; and (2) generating a larger number of probes. We then develop an enhanced version of WBest termed WBest+ that incorporates these principles. Our evaluation shows that the new version is effective in achieving accurate ABE in the presence of FA.

TAK1 MAPK Kinase Kinase Mediates Transforming Growth Factor-β Signaling by Targeting SnoN Oncoprotein for Degradation (2007)

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) regulates a variety of physiologic processes through essential intracellular mediators Smads. The SnoN oncoprotein is an inhibitor of TGF-beta signaling. SnoN recruits transcriptional repressor complex to block Smad-dependent transcriptional activation of TGF-beta-responsive genes. Following TGF-beta stimulation, SnoN is rapidly degraded, thereby allowing the activation of TGF-beta target genes. Here, we report the role of TAK1 as a SnoN protein kinase. TAK1 interacted with and phosphorylated SnoN, and this phosphorylation regulated the stability of SnoN. Inactivation of TAK1 prevented TGF-beta-induced SnoN degradation and impaired induction of the TGF-beta-responsive genes. These data suggest that TAK1 modulates TGF-beta-dependent cellular responses by targeting SnoN for degradation.
Regularizing Long Short Term Memory with 3D Human-Skeleton Sequences for Action Recognition (2016)

This paper argues that large-scale action recognition in video can be greatly improved by providing an additional modality in training data - namely, 3D human-skeleton sequences - aimed at complementing poorly represented or missing features of human actions in the training videos. For recognition, we use Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) grounded via a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) onto the video. Training of LSTM is regularized using the output of another encoder LSTM (eLSTM) grounded on 3D human-skeleton training data. For such regularized training of LSTM, we modify the standard backpropagation through time (BPTT) in order to address the wellknown issues with gradient descent in constraint optimization. Our evaluation on three benchmark datasets - Sports-1M, HMDB-51, and UCF101 - shows accuracy improvements from 1.7% up to 14.8% relative to the state of the art.

EMCE: a multimodal environment augmenting conferencing experiences (2002)

To illustrate research regarding how to augment people's experiences in office meetings of different types, we have developed EMCE (Enhanced Multimodal Conferencing Environment), a prototypical conference room. EMCE assists meeting participants in performing a host of functions, including (but not limited to) passing private messages, taking electronic notes, accessing personal files, writing both public and private annotations on projected objects, automatically creating meeting minutes, and remote conferencing. Our multimodal approach allows people to interact with the conference room through spoken or handwritten commands and drawn information. The room reacts in a multimedia fashion, outputting sound, video, text, etc. To make EMCE's use as intuitive as possible, our interface consists of a virtual view of the conference room that users can access either with screens embedded in a conference table or on their personal laptops. Our goal is to create an augmented environment that is as natural and easy to use as existing, nonaugmented meeting environments.
Photochemical Synthesis of a Water Oxidation Catalyst Based on Cobalt Nanostructures (2011)

New cobalt-based nanocomposites have been prepared by photoreduction of Co(2+) salts to generate cobalt nanoparticles deposited on carbon-based materials such as nanocyrstalline diamond and carbon felt. Spontaneous air oxidation converts the metal to Co(2)O(3) which has been tested as a water oxidation catalyst. This work demonstrates that the cobalt oxide nanostructures can be deposited on various carbon surfaces and can catalyze the four-electron oxidation of water to oxygen under anodic bias.
Quantitative Interpretation of Diffusion‐Ordered NMR Spectra: Can We Rationalize Small Molecule Diffusion Coefficients? (2013)

Appealingly simple: A new method is described that allows the diffusion coefficient of a small molecule to be estimated given only the molecular weight and the viscosity of the solvent used. This method makes possible the quantitative interpretation of the diffusion domain of diffusion-ordered NMR spectra (see picture).

Finding authoritative people from the web (2004)

Today's web is so huge and diverse that it arguably reflects the real world. For this reason, searching the web is a promising approach to find things in the real world. This paper presents NEXAS, an extension to web search engines that attempts to find real-worldentities relevant to a topic. Its basic idea is to extract proper names from the web pages retrieved for the topic. A main advantage of this approach is that users can query any topic and learn about relevant real-world entities without dedicated databases for the topic. In particular, we focus on an application for finding authoritative people from the web. This application is practically important because once personal names are obtained, they can lead users from the web to managed information stored in digital libraries. To explore effective ways of finding people, we first examine the distribution of Japanese personal names by analyzing about 50 million Japanese web pages. We observe that personal names appear frequently on the web, but the distribution is highly influenced by automatically generated texts. To remedy the bias and find widely acknowledged people accurately, we utilize the number of web servers containing a name instead of the number of web pages. We show its effectiveness by an experiment covering a wide range oftopics. Finally, we demonstrate several examples and suggest possible applications.
TLR9/MyD88 signaling is required for class switching to pathogenic IgG2a and 2b autoantibodies in SLE (2006)

Loss of tolerance in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) leads to the generation of autoantibodies, which accumulate in end-organs where they induce disease. Here we show that immunoglobulin (Ig)G2a and 2b autoantibodies are the pathogenic isotypes by recruiting FcgammaRIV expressing macrophages. Class switching, but not development, of IgM anti-self B cells to these pathogenic subclasses requires the innate immune receptor Toll-like receptor (TLR)9 and MyD88 signaling. In their absence, switching of autoreactive B cells to the IgG2a and 2b subclasses is blocked, resulting in reduced pathology and mortality. In contrast, switching of anti-self B cells to IgG1 is not perturbed and generation of nonautoreactive IgG2a and 2b antibodies is not impaired in TLR9-deficient mice. Thus, the TLR9 pathway is a potential target for therapeutic intervention in SLE.
The 6q22.33 Locus and Breast Cancer Susceptibility (2009)

Recently, we identified a novel breast cancer susceptibility locus at 6q22.33 following a genome-wide association study in the Ashkenazi Jewish genetic isolate. To replicate these findings, we did a case-control association analysis on 6q22.33 (rs2180341) in an additional 487 Ashkenazi Jewish breast cancer cases and in an independent non-Jewish, predominantly European American, population of 1,466 breast cancer cases and 1,467 controls. We confirmed the 6q22.33 association with breast cancer risk in the replication cohorts [per-allele odds ratio (OR), 1.18; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.04-1.33; P = 0.0083], with the strongest effect in the aggregate meta-analysis of 3,039 breast cancer cases and 2,616 Ashkenazi Jewish and non-Jewish controls (per-allele OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.13-1.36; P = 3.85 x 10(-7)). We also showed that the association was slightly stronger with estrogen receptor-positive tumors (per-allele OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.20-1.51; P = 2.2 x 10(-5)) compared with estrogen receptor-negative tumors (per-allele OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.97-1.47; P = 0.1). Furthermore, this study provides a novel insight into the functional significance of 6q22.33 in breast cancer susceptibility. Due to the stronger association of 6q22.33 with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, we examined the effect of candidate genes on estrogen receptor response elements. Upon transfection of overexpressed RNF146 in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, we observed diminished expression of an estrogen receptor response element reporter construct. This study confirms the association of 6q22.33 with breast cancer, with slightly stronger effect in estrogen receptor-positive tumors. Further functional studies of candidate genes are in progress, and a large replication analysis is being completed as part of an international consortium.
Coordinating Inventory Control and Pricing Strategies with Random Demand and Fixed Ordering Cost: The Finite Horizon Case (2004)

We analyze a finite horizon, single product, periodic review model in which pricing and production/inventory decisions are made simultaneously. Demands in different periods are random variables that are independent of each other and their distributions depend on the product price. Pricing and ordering decisions are made at the beginning of each period and all shortages are backlogged. Ordering cost includes both a fixed cost and a variable cost proportional to the amount ordered. The objective is to find an inventory policy and a pricing strategy maximizing expected profit over the finite horizon. We show that when the demand model is additive, the profit-to-go functions are k-concave and hence an (s, S, p) policy is optimal. In such a policy, the period inventory is managed based on the classical (s, S) policy and price is determined based on the inventory position at the beginning of each period. For more general demand functions, i.e., multiplicative plus additive functions, we demonstrate that the profit-to-go function is not necessarily k-concave and an (s, S, p) policy is not necessarily optimal. We introduce a new concept, the symmetric k-concave functions, and apply it to provide a characterization of the optimal policy.
Academic Procrastination: Psychological Antecedents Revisited (2016)

ObjectiveTaking Beswick, Rothblum, and Mann's seminal paper on academic procrastination as a starting point, we provide an updated review of academic procrastination and consolidate this knowledge with a procrastination typology. The goal of our study was to show that while the degree of procrastination is largely contingent on the trait of conscientiousness, the other four major personality traits determine how procrastination manifests. According to implications of need theory, we operationalised these four traits by the reasons students gave and the activities students pursued while procrastinating.MethodParticipants were 167 students of an undergraduate introductory psychology course. It was designed as a self‐directed computerised course enabled considerable amounts of procrastination. Students filled out a Big Five Inventory and wrote a short essay detailing: (a) what reason they saw as causing them to procrastinate, and (b) what activities they pursued while procrastinating. The reasons and activities were coded according to their fit to the personality traits.ResultsConscientiousness and its facets were the strongest correlates with procrastination. Moreover, in regression analyses, the other personality traits did not incrementally predict procrastination. However, the reasons ascribed to procrastination and the off‐task activities pursued reflected the other personality traits.ConclusionWhile conscientiousness is the core for all procrastination types, the other personality traits determine its phenomenology. Thus, the prominent understanding of a neurotic procrastinator might be misleading for research and practice. In fact, counsellors need to first address the conscientiousness core of procrastination and then match the subsequent interventions to the specific procrastination type.
