A new analysis/synthesis system of musical signals using Prony's method-application to heavily damped percussive sounds (2003)

A theoretical aspect of Prony's algorithm is presented, and the choice of analysis parameters and the achieved spectral resolution are briefly discussed. The analysis system itself is described, including frequency detection, component matching, and amplitude estimation. The problems connected with the analysis of complex signals are explored and some solutions proposed and developed. Three examples of musical sound analysis are then presented. It is concluded that the use of Prony's method to model musical sounds is efficient when applied to highly damped signals: its very good frequency resolution makes it possible to use small analysis windows and to follow efficiently the evolution of each sinusoidal component. The algorithm proposed for computing amplitudes avoids the problems due to biases in damping factor estimation. In the case of complex sounds, the analysis performed after presegmentation of the signal also yields good results. Future developments in this field are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Using Genetic Admixture to Explain Racial Differences in Insulin-Related Phenotypes (2003)

Documented differences in measures of insulin secretion and action between African Americans and European Americans may be due to either genetic or environmental factors. This study used genetic admixture (ADM), determined from approximately 20 ancestry informative markers, and a questionnaire designed to assess socioeconomic status (SES) to examine potential genetic and environmental contributions to minimal model-derived measures of insulin sensitivity (S(I)), fasting insulin, and the acute insulin response to glucose (AIR(g)) in 125 children residing in Birmingham, Alabama. The study was longitudinal in design and yielded multiple outcome measures on each subject. Mixed models analysis was used to determine if ADM and SES were independently related to S(I), fasting insulin, and AIR(g) after adjusting for confounding factors (pubertal status, adiposity, age) and for repeated testing of individuals. In this cohort, African ADM ranged from 0% (individuals with no markers reflecting African ancestry) to 100% (individuals with all 20 markers reflecting African ancestry). Results indicated that ADM was independently related to S(I) (P < 0.001) and fasting insulin (P < 0.01), with individuals having greater African ADM having a lower S(I) and a higher fasting insulin concentration. Both ADM (P < 0.001) and SES (P < 0.05) were independently related to AIR(g); children with greater African ADM or lower SES had a higher AIR(g), even after adjusting for S(I). These observations suggest that use of ADM can replace assignment of individuals to categorical racial groups; that lower S(I) and higher fasting insulin among African Americans compared with European Americans may have a genetic basis; and that higher AIR(g) among African Americans may be due to both genetic factors and to environmental factors that remain to be identified.
Manipulation of Entangled States for Quantum Information Processing (2005)

Entanglement manipulation, and especially Entanglement Swapping is at the heart of current work on quantum information processing, purification and quantum teleportation. We will discuss how it may be generalized to multiparticle systems and how this enables multi-user quantum cryptographic protocols to be developed. Our scheme allows us to establish multiparticle entanglement between particles which belong to distant users in a communication network through a prior distribution of Bell state singlets followed by local measurements. We compare our method for generating entanglement with existing schemes using simple quantum networks, and highlight the advantages and applications in cryptographic conferencing and in reading messages from more than one source through a single quantum measurement. We also discuss how entanglement leads to the idea of ‘telecloning’, in which a teleportation-like protocol can be found which reproduces the output of an optimal quantum cloning machine.
An interactive reference framework for modeling a dynamic immune system (2015)

Immune cells function in an interacting hierarchy that coordinates the activities of various cell types according to genetic and environmental contexts. We developed graphical approaches to construct an extensible immune reference map from mass cytometry data of cells from different organs, incorporating landmark cell populations as flags on the map to compare cells from distinct samples. The maps recapitulated canonical cellular phenotypes and revealed reproducible, tissue-specific deviations. The approach revealed influences of genetic variation and circadian rhythms on immune system structure, enabled direct comparisons of murine and human blood cell phenotypes, and even enabled archival fluorescence-based flow cytometry data to be mapped onto the reference framework. This foundational reference map provides a working definition of systemic immune organization to which new data can be integrated to reveal deviations driven by genetics, environment, or pathology.
Multi-rate transformation of directional affine recurrence equations (2002)

There has been an increased attention to the synthesis of algorithmic specific pipeline arrays such as systolic arrays. Most of the existing synthesis techniques are based on a transformation of the algorithm from a class of Recurrence Equations such as Uniform Recurrence Equations (UREs). However, many algorithms cannot be transformed to a URE and the temporal locality of systolic arrays results in additional delay time. The temporal locality constraint can be removed by using the multi-rate array (MRA) structure. In MRA the variables are propagated at different rates. By allowing data transmission at different clock rates, transparent data or ones with small delays are propagated. It is shown that using MRA, a broader class of REs termed directional affine recurrence equation (DARE) can be mapped onto pipeline arrays. The authors provide the definition and a synthesis technique for mapping DAREs on multi-rate array. Conditions for mapping AREs onto MRA is given and the corresponding timing and allocation functions are derived. Applications of multi-rate arrays for signal processing algorithms is also presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
An architecture for parallel database computing (1991)

The initial management of dyspepsia is well established, but how to manage those who do not respond is a challenge. Future studies evaluating diet and altering the gut microbiome may give clinicians more therapeutic options.
All‐Solid‐State Ion Selective and All‐Solid‐State Reference Electrodes (2012)

Abstract This paper is aiming to give a brief overview of recent research in the field of all‐solid‐state, internal solution free, ion‐selective electrodes and reference electrodes, employing conducting polymers or nano‐/microstructures as solid contacts beneath the polymeric, ion‐selective or reference membranes. The emphasis is on papers published in the last five years (after 2006). According to the papers published, poly(3‐octylthiophene) conducting polymer transducers offer highly reliable sensors for various applications, involving demanding analytical approaches and miniature sensors. On the other hand, the search for alternative materials continues: the sensors obtained by placing nano‐/microstructures (conducting polymers but also other materials, like, e.g., carbon nanotubes) underneath the receptor membrane are intensively tested. The recent years have also shown how useful the application of advanced instrumental methods is for the investigation of processes occurring within all‐solid‐state ion‐selective electrodes.
Activity of a novel anthracenedione, 1,4-dihydroxy-5,8-bis(((2-[(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]ethyl)amino])-9,10-anthracenedione dihydrochloride, against experimental tumors in mice. (1979)

1,4-Dihydroxy-5,8-bis(((2[(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]ethyl)amino))-9,-10-anthracenedione dihydrochloride (CL 232315; NSC 301739D), a representative of a new chemical class of compounds with antineoplastic properties, has been evaluated for antitumor activity in experimental mouse tumor systems. The compound produced significant increases in life span (ILS) and long-term survivors when tested against the P388 and L1210 leukemias as well as the solid neoplasms, B16 melanoma and Colon Tumor 26. The optimal treatment regimens resulted in a 173 to greater than 200% ILS with 20 to 80% 60-day survivors in mice with P388 leukemia, A 205% ILS with 55% 60-day survivors in mice with L1210 leukemia, and an ILS of greater than 300% with 80% 90-day survivors in mice with B16 melanoma. In contrast to Adriamycin, CL 232315 was active against the i.v. implanted L1210 leukemia and demonstrated moderate activity against P388/Adria, a subline of P388 resistant to Adriamycin. The compound was ineffective when tested against the Lewis lung carcinoma and the Ridgway osteogenic sarcoma. CL 232315 was active i.p., s.c., and i.v., but p.o. activity was not demonstrated. Schedule dependency was not observed when the compound was administered once daily for nine days, once every four days, or as a single dose.
Normalization techniques for handprinted numerals (1970)

A family of pattern standardization techniques based on geometrical projection is applied to a file of digitized handprinted numerals obtained from sales clerks. The principle involves transforming a quadrilateral specified in terms of the convex hull of each pattern into a square. The amount of overlap within each class of characters versus the amount between classes is used to evaluate the degree of normalization achieved with respect to other published methods including size and shear normalization through moments.
<i>Deletion Process_Only you can see my history</i>: Investigating Digital Privacy, Digital Oblivion, and Control on Personal Data Through an Interactive Art Installation (2016)

In light of recent controversies surrounding massive data collection by corporations and government agencies, digital privacy, the right to oblivion, and data ownership have become increasingly important concerns. This paper describes the author’s artwork, Deletion Process_Only you can see my history, an interactive art installation based on her eight-year personal search history in the Google search engine. While the personal search history maintains a sense of privacy, according to the company’s own declaration, the author reveals this archive to viewers in order to raise awareness and provoke reflection on the aforementioned subjects. The author discusses her motivation, describes the making process and the decisions made at each step of designing the installation, while integrating at the same time a deeper discussion on the place of digital privacy and oblivion within the contemporary approach to art and technology.
Transcriptional Control of the Yeast <i>PDR5</i> Gene by the <i>PDR3</i> Gene Product (1994)

Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells possess the ability to simultaneously acquire resistance to an array of drugs with different cytotoxic activities. The genes involved in this acquisition are referred to as pleiotropic drug resistant (PDR) genes. Several semidominant, drug resistance-encoding PDR mutations have been found that map near the centromere on chromosome II, including PDR3-1 and PDR4-1. DNA sequencing of chromosome II identified a potential open reading frame, designated YBL03-23, that has the potential to encode a protein with strong sequence similarity to the product of the PDR1 gene, a zinc finger-containing transcription factor. Here we show that YBL03-23 is allelic with PDR3. The presence of a functional copy of either PDR1 or PDR3 is essential for drug resistance and expression of a putative membrane transporter-encoding gene, PDR5. Deletion mapping of the PDR5 promoter identified a region from -360 to -112 that is essential for expression of this gene. DNase I footprinting analysis using bacterially expressed Pdr3p showed specific recognition by this protein of at least one site in the -360/-112 interval in the PDR5 promoter. A high-copy-number plasmid carrying the PDR3 gene elevated resistance to both oligomycin and cycloheximide. Increasing the number of PDR3 gene copies in a delta pdr5 strain increased oligomycin resistance but was not able to correct the cycloheximide hypersensitivity that results from loss of PDR5. These data are consistent with the notion that PDR3 acts to increase cycloheximide resistance by elevating the level of PDR5 transcription, while PDR3-mediated oligomycin resistance acts through some other target gene.
Multilevel Language and Vision Integration for Text-to-Clip Retrieval (2018)

We address the problem of text-based activity retrieval in video. Given a sentence describing an activity, our task is to retrieve matching clips from an untrimmed video. To capture the inherent structures present in both text and video, we introduce a multilevel model that integrates vision and language features earlier and more tightly than prior work. First, we inject text features early on when generating clip proposals, to help eliminate unlikely clips and thus speed up processing and boost performance. Second, to learn a fine-grained similarity metric for retrieval, we use visual features to modulate the processing of query sentences at the word level in a recurrent neural network. A multi-task loss is also employed by adding query re-generation as an auxiliary task. Our approach significantly outperforms prior work on two challenging benchmarks: Charades-STA and ActivityNet Captions.
Sequential Testing in Product Development (2001)

A fundamental problem in managing product development is the optimal timing, frequency, and fidelity of sequential testing activities that are carried out to evaluate novel product concepts and designs. In this paper, we develop a mathematical model that treats testing as an activity that generates information about technical and customer-need related problems. An analysis of the model results in several important findings. First, optimal testing strategies need to balance the tension between several variables, including the increasing cost of redesign, the cost of a test as function of fidelity, and the correlation between sequential tests. Second, a simple form of our model results in an EOQ-like result: The optimal number of tests (called the Economic Testing Frequency or ETF) is the square root of the ratio of avoidable cost and the cost of a test. Third, the relationship between sequential tests can have an impact on optimal testing strategies. If sequential tests are increasing refinements of one another, managers should invest their budgets in a few high-fidelity tests, whereas if the tests identify problems independently of one another it may be more effective if developers carry out a higher number of lower-fidelity tests. Using examples, the implications for managerial practice are discussed and suggestions for further research undertakings are provided.
Transformerless reactive series compensators with voltage source inverters (2002)

The behavior of transmission lines and power flow control with reactive series compensators are described. After presentation of the circuits and configurations, their mode of operation is shown in more detail using an example which is representative for practical applications.
The role of lactic acid production by probiotic Lactobacillus species in vaginal health (2017)

Vaginal eubiosis is characterised by beneficial lactobacillus-dominated microbiota. In contrast, vaginal dysbiosis (e.g. bacterial vaginosis, BV), characterised by an overgrowth of multiple anaerobes, is associated with an increased risk of adverse urogenital and reproductive health outcomes. A major distinguishing feature between the vaginal environment in states of eubiosis and dysbiosis is a high concentration of lactic acid, produced by lactobacilli, that acidifies the vagina in eubiosis versus a sharp drop in lactic acid and an increase in pH in dysbiosis. Here we review the antimicrobial, antiviral and immunomodulatory properties of lactic acid and the use of lactic acid and lactobacilli probiotics in preventing or treating BV.
Venous blood effects in spin-echo fMRI of human brain (1999)

The spin-echo response to visual activation was studied as a function of spatial resolution at a field of 1.5 T. The results showed that the increase in absolute T(2) upon activation was as large as 22.8 +/- 3.1% (P < 0.05) at the highest resolution (5.3 mm(3)), while it was as small as 3.5 +/- 0.2% (P < 0.05) at the lowest resolution (42.2 mm(3)). In addition, upon increasing resolution, the spin-echo signal decay as a function of echo time changed from monoexponential to nonexponential. These data indicate that, when using the standard resolution for fMRI studies at 1.5 T, the effects of spin-echo changes in the draining veins are of major contribution to the total blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal changes measured in voxels encompassing the activated brain areas. The data can be quantitatively accounted for using a model based on the intravascular origin of the spin-echo effect including both macrovascular and microvascular effects. Existing theories for the spin-echo BOLD effect based on diffusion through field gradients predict negligible spin-echo effects inside the large vessels and are therefore incompatible with the data.

LGBT young people's lives:Challenging but improving (2018)

When putting together this special issue, it was important to remember that we know less about lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) young people’s (YP) lives than we do about other populations. We do have some knowledge, however. We know that their experience has specific and significant challenges, but that studying them is challenging. We also know that the situation globally is improving, but discrimination and oppression of LGBT people is still an issue in many parts of the world. For example, British schools are less homophobic than they used to be, but LGBT YP are still significantly more likely to be bullied than their peers (Bradlow et al, 2017). These challenges present with significant differences depending on the social, cultural and political contexts. There are several concepts that can be helpfully used to understand LGBT YP’s lives, and are often used in research and conceptual work about LGBT individuals. Heteronormativity is the idea that all sexuality in social and cultural life is heterosexual, and it makes ‘heterosexual experience… synonymous with human experience’ (Yep, 2002, p. 167).
Extraction of Lipids from Salmon Roe with Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (2003)

Freeze-dried salmon roe was extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide at a pressure range of 9.8-31.4MPa and temperature range 40-80°C. The lipid yield and fatty acid profiles of the extracted lipids were affected by the extracting conditions. From the results affect of carbon dioxide density is estimated. At 80°C the extracts were mostly affected by the extracting pressure. While at 17.7MPa the extracts were affected by the extracting temperature. The lipids obtained, contained triacylglycerides and their derivatives while the lipids not extracted contained triacylglycerides and phospholipids. In other words, two groups of triacylglycerides extracted from the freeze-dried salmon roe were found to be present in the salmon roe. In the first group is triacylglyceride to be extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide. In the other group is triacylglyceride not to be extracted. Less than 30% of astaxanthin, a functional pigment in the salmon roe was extracted. The loss of astaxanthin was less than 10% of the total involved in the process.
Mycoplasmas: Sophisticated, Reemerging, and Burdened by Their Notoriety (1997)

Mycoplasmas are most unusual self-replicating bacteria, possessing very small genomes, lacking cell wall components, requiring cholesterol for membrane function and growth, using UGA codon for tryptophan, passing through "bacterial-retaining" filters, and displaying genetic economy that requires a strict dependence on the host for nutrients and refuge. In addition, many of the mycoplasmas pathogenic for humans and animals possess extraordinary specialized tip organelles that mediate their intimate interaction with eucaryotic cells. This host-adapted survival is achieved through surface parasitism of target cells, acquisition of essential biosynthetic precursors, and in some cases, subsequent entry and survival intracellularly. Misconceptions concerning the role of mycoplasmas in disease pathogenesis can be directly attributed to their biological subtleties and to fundamental deficits in understanding their virulence capabilities. In this review, we highlight the biology and pathogenesis of these procaryotes and provide new evidence that may lead to increased appreciation of their role as human pathogens.
