Logic Design for Dynamic and Interactive Recovery (1971)

Recovery in a fault-tolerant computer means the continuation of system operation with data integrity after an error occurs. This paper delineates two parallel concepts embodied in the hardware and software functions required for recovery; detection, diagnosis, and reconfiguration for hardware, data integrity, checkpointing, and restart for the software. The hardware relies on the recovery variable set, checking circuits, and diagnostics, and the software relies on the recovery information set, audit, and reconstruct routines, to characterize the system state and assist in recovery when required. Of particular utility is a handware unit, the recovery control unit, which serves as an interface between error detection and software recovery programs in the supervisor and provides dynamic interactive recovery.
Is the Continuous Performance Task a Valuable Research Tool for use with Children with Attention‐Deficit‐Hyperactivity Disorder? (1993)

The Continuous Performance Task (CPT) has become a popular research tool used to distinguish children with Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) from their normal peers. Whether hyperactive children have a vigilance decrement remains an ongoing controversy. The theoretical basis of the CPT and variables known to influence performance are examined in order to interpret the inconsistencies evident in the research. Studies which employed the CPT in order to examine the possibility of sustained attention deficits in children with ADHD will be reviewed. The results are examined in light of group selection criteria, task variables and situational and external variables. It is concluded that there is no compelling evidence for a sustained deficit in ADHD children. An alternative theoretical model for understanding the results of CPT performance in ADHD children is provided.
A 2Gb/s 1.8pJ/b/chip inductive-coupling through-chip bus for 128-Die NAND-Flash memory stacking (2010)

128 NAND Flash memory chips and 1 controller chip are stacked using a spiral stair stacking scheme. The controller accesses a random memory chip at 2 Gb/s by inductive-coupling through-chip transmission relayed at every 8th chip. The large coils are placed diagonally over memory core with no area penalty. Energy consumption is reduced to 1.8 pJ/b/chip.
The generation of highly monodisperse droplets through the breakup of hydrodynamically focused microthread in a microfluidic device (2004)

We used a controllable three-stream laminar flow system to hydrodynamically focus a viscous stream, flowing between two inviscid streams, to cause instability and eventual breakup. The characteristics of the focusing and breakup of the viscous stream are presented here. Breakup occurred as the viscous stream was focused to a characteristic width of several micrometers. Highly monodisperse droplets with diameters smaller than the width of the junction of the three inlet channels were formed through the rapid periodic breakup of the focused microthread. Size, production rate, and patterning can be precisely controlled with this approach.
Aligning traces for performance evaluation (2006)

For many performance analysis problems, the ability to reason across traces is invaluable. However, due to non-determinism in the OS and virtual machines, even two identical runs of an application yield slightly different traces. For example, it is unlikely that two identical runs of an application will suffer context switches at exactly the same points. These sorts of variations across traces make it difficult to reason across traces. This paper describes and evaluates an algorithm, dynamic time warping (DTW) that can be used to align traces, thus enabling us to reason across traces. While DTW comes from prior work our use of DTW is novel. Also we describe and evaluate an enhancement to DTW that significantly improves the quality of its alignments. Our results show that for applications whose performance varies significantly over time, DTW does a great job at aligning the traces. For applications whose performance stays largely constant for significant periods of time, the original DTW does not perform well; however, our enhanced DTW performs much better.
The Porbandar cyclone of October 1975 (1977)

A severe cyclonic storm formed-over the east central Arabian Sea, from the remnants of an earlier depression over the Bay of Bengal, and crossed north Gujarat coast near Porbandar at 1530 IST On 22 October 1975. This cyclone showed rapid intensification during its formative stages and was singular for its track and, severity. A detailed study of the information, movement and intensity of the storm has been made m this paper on the basis of the synoptic as well as Weather satellite data. It is concluded that the thermal structure of the cyclone and the marked upper tropospheric divergence observational net- were responsible for its rapid intensification.

MEDSLIK-II, a Lagrangian marine surface oil spill model for short-term forecasting – Part 1: Theory (2013)

Abstract. The processes of transport, diffusion and transformation of surface oil in seawater can be simulated using a Lagrangian model formalism coupled with Eulerian circulation models. This paper describes the formalism and the conceptual assumptions of a Lagrangian marine surface oil slick numerical model and rewrites the constitutive equations in a modern mathematical framework. The Lagrangian numerical representation of the oil slick requires three different state variables: the slick, the particle and the structural state variables. Transformation processes (evaporation, spreading, dispersion and coastal adhesion) act on the slick state variables, while particle variables are used to model the transport and diffusion processes. The slick and particle variables are recombined together to compute the oil concentration in water, a structural state variable. The mathematical and numerical formulation of oil transport, diffusion and transformation processes described in this paper, together with the many simplifying hypothesis and parameterizations, form the basis of a new, open source Lagrangian surface oil spill model, the so-called MEDSLIK-II, based on its precursor MEDSLIK (Lardner et al., 1998, 2006; Zodiatis et al., 2008a). Part 2 of this paper describes the applications of the model to oil spill simulations that allow the validation of the model results and the study of the sensitivity of the simulated oil slick to different model numerical parameterizations.
Moisture and temperature requirements for germination of three annual species of <i>Medicago</i> (1965)

Moisture and temperature requirements for germination were determined for Medicago polymorpha L. var. vulgaris (Benth.) Shin., M. minima (L.) Bart., and M. truncatula Gaertn. Water absorption by seeds of all species was very rapid during the first two hours after which relatively little additional water was taken up until radicles emerged. Initial rate of imbibition was fastest in M. minima and slowest in seeds of M. polymorpha. Under favourable conditions radicles emerged in about twelve hours when seeds had imbibed from about two to three times their original weight of water. Over the range of 0-12 atmospheres of osmotic pressure, increasing the tension had depressed germination of M. pobmorpha whereas an increase from 0 to 3 atmospheres stimulated germination of M. minima. From temperatures of 15¦ to 30¦C, M. polymorpha germinated best in the lower, M. truncatula in the intermediate, and M. minima in the higher range.
Optical Indoor Positioning Systems (2011)

Recent advances in CCD technologies, processing speed and image understanding have been driving the development of the camera-based positioning systems. An improved performance of optical systems has triggered image based positioning methods to become an attractive alternative for applications in industrial metrology as well as for robot- and pedestrian navigation. This paper provides a survey of current optical indoor positioning approaches. Different systems are briefly described and categorized based on how the images are referenced to the environment.
Intelligent derating for reliability (2003)

An approach to design for reliability based on the formulation of derating criteria, the determination of levels of criticality for derating analysis, and production rule derating is presented. The approach utilizes Prolog procedures to generate a user-definable hierarchy of parts classifications whose working parameters follow user-definable guidelines and constraints. The specific focus is on the Maryland Computer-Aided Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) derating program, which can be used for many different derating guidelines. Instead of a specific and rigid derating classification of part types, the CALCE derating program allows the user to define and change the derating criteria as needed for the specific derating application. By providing this custom-editing facility, the program can be used to derate electronic components on an electronics circuit board as well as treads on a tank. To do this, the user defines what is being derated and the derating test (rule) criteria.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Is There an Epidemic of HIV Infection in the US ESRD Program? (2004)

Surveys revealed increases in the prevalence of HIV-infected patients in the US end-stage renal disease (ESRD) program in the 1980s and early 1990s, with clustering in young black men 25 to 44 yr old. Since the availability of highly active antiretroviral therapy in 1996, the prognosis of HIV-infected patients has improved, and therapy has been shown to change the course of classic HIV-associated nephropathy. We used the United States Renal Data System database to determine if the incidence and prevalence of HIV-infected patients with renal disease has increased in the ESRD program, by means of principal diagnoses and comorbid AIDS-defining diagnoses. As the number of US patients living with AIDS increased 57% from 214,711 in 1995 to 337,017 in 2000, and the number of incident ESRD patients increased 29.9% from 72,827 to 94,602, the number of incident HIV-infected patients increased only by 3.5%, from 1133 to 1171. Over this time, the percentage of incident ESRD patients with HIV infection fell from 1.56% to 1.24%. Among black men 25 to 44 yr of age, HIV infection as a proportion of incident ESRD cases fell from 8.5% to 6.2% from 1995 to 2000. The incident rate per million of AIDS or HIV infection in black men aged 25 to 44 fell from 107 in 1995 to 78 per million in 2000. The incidence rate for HIV-infected women in the ESRD program rose 14% while it declined 7% in men. Almost 2000 HIV-infected women, or 28.8% of the population, have initiated therapy for ESRD with hemodialysis. The number of prevalent cases increased in absolute numbers 81.3% from 2687 to 4871 (0.90% to 1.16% of the ESRD program). One-year survival rates for HIV-infected incident ESRD patients increased from 53.1% to 67.1% from 1995 to 2000. Although these values may be underestimates because of underreporting due to confidentiality concerns and lack of biopsy confirmation, we conclude that although the prevalence of HIV infection is increasing in the US ESRD population, the increase as a proportion of the program is minimal and is due to better survival after development of renal failure. The incidence of HIV infection in the US ESRD program is stable. Highly active antiretroviral therapy may be responsible for the change in epidemiology of HIV infection in the US ESRD program.
A computational approach for detecting peptidases and their specific inhibitors at the genome level (2007)

The decision-tree can reliably classify protein sequences as peptidases or inhibitors, belonging to a certain class, and can provide a comprehensive list of possible interacting pairs of peptidase/inhibitor. This information can help the design of experiments to detect interacting peptidase/inhibitor complexes and can speed up the selection of possible interacting candidates, without searching for them separately and manually combining the obtained results. A web server specifically developed for annotating peptidases and their inhibitors (HIPPIE) is available at http://gpcr.biocomp.unibo.it/cgi/predictors/hippie/pred_hippie.cgi.
A framework for personalization of computational models of the human atria (2011)

A framework for step-by-step personalization of a computational model of human atria is presented. Beginning with anatomical modeling based on CT or MRI data, next fiber structure is superimposed using a rule-based method. If available, late-enhancement-MRI images can be considered in order to mark fibrotic tissue. A first estimate of individual electrophysiology is gained from BSPM data solving the inverse problem of ECG. A final adjustment of electrophysiology is realized using intracardiac measurements. The framework is applied using several patient data. First clinical application will be computer assisted planning of RF-ablation for treatment of atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation.
Monitoring of the Мain Рarameters of Еnvironmental Safety Industrial Production (2021)

A critical analysis of the existing approaches to monitoring the main parameters of the environmental safety of industrial production is presented, a number of shortcomings are revealed associated with the limited compliance methods for assessing the compliance of environmental indicators with current standards, or the degree of information transparency of companies; the lack of consideration of the impact of dividend and investment policies of companies on the environmental safety of industrial production; lack of comparability of environmental performance in public reports. The scientific novelty of the proposed monitoring lies in the use of a systematic approach to the formation of the main parameters of environmental safety and the expansion of monitoring directions by including trends in the relationship between economic and environmental indicators calculated from the data of public reports of companies. The study was carried out on the example of the metallurgical industry in Russia, which made it possible to assess the representativeness of environmental reports and trends in the environmental safety of the industry.
Protein and Older Adults (2004)

Body composition changes as people get older. One of the noteworthy alterations is the reduction in total body protein. A decrease in skeletal muscle is the most noticeable manifestation of this change but there is also a reduction in other physiologic proteins such as organ tissue, blood components, and immune bodies as well as declines in total body potassium and water. This contributes to impaired wound healing, loss of skin elasticity, and an inability to fight infection. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for adults for protein is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. Protein tissue accounts for 30% of whole-body protein turnover but that rate declines to 20% or less by age 70. The result of this phenomenon is that older adults require more protein/kilogram body weight than do younger adults. Recently, it has become clear that the requirement for exogenous protein is at least 1.0 gram/kilogram body weight. Adequate dietary intake of protein may be more difficult for older adults to obtain. Dietary animal protein is the primary source of high biological value protein, iron, vitamin B(12), folic acid, biotin and other essential nutrients. In fact, egg protein is the standard against which all other proteins are compared. Compared to other high-quality protein sources like meat, poultry and seafood, eggs are the least expensive. The importance of dietary protein cannot be underestimated in the diets of older adults; inadequate protein intake contributes to a decrease in reserve capacity, increased skin fragility, decreased immune function, poorer healing, and longer recuperation from illness.

Synchronization by Nonlinear Frequency Pulling (2004)

We analyze a model for the synchronization of nonlinear oscillators due to reactive coupling and nonlinear frequency pulling motivated by the physics of arrays of nanoscale oscillators. We study the model for the mean field case of all-to-all coupling, deriving results for the onset of synchronization as the coupling or nonlinearity increase, and the fully locked state when all the oscillators evolve with the same frequency.

Room-temperature type-I GaSb-based lasers in the 3.0 - 3.7 μm wavelength range (2012)

GaSb-based type-I quantum-well lasers, emitting in the spectral range from 2 to 4 μm are promising light sources for various trace gas sensing systems by means of tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS). Excellent device performance has been achieved so far in the spectral range from 2 to 3 μm, however, room-temperature operation above 3 μm is much more difficult to achieve. In this work we demonstrate the extension of room-temperature operation wavelength of GaSb-based type-I lasers up to 3.73 μm by implementation of high-quality quinternary AlGaInAsSb heterostructures.
Automatic Control of Horizontal-moving Stereoscopic Camera by Disparity Compensation (2002)

Horizontally-moving method (HMM) stereoscopic camera has a liner relationship between ver-gence and focus control. We introduced the automatic control method for a stereoscopic camera system that uses the relationship between vergence and focus of an HMM stereoscopic camera. the Automatic control method uses disparity compensation of the acquired image pair from the stereoscopic camera. For faster extraction of disparity information, the proposed binocular dispar-ity estimation method by the one-dimensional cepstral filter algorithm would be investigated. The suggested system in this study substantially reduced the controlling time and error-ratio so as to make it possible to achieve natural and clear images.
Cell-free formation of misfolded prion protein with authentic prion infectivity (2006)

Prion propagation has been modeled in vitro; however, the low infectious titer of PrP(Sc) thus generated has cast doubt on the "protein-only" hypothesis. Here we show that prion delivery on suitable nitrocellulose carrier particles abrogates the apparent dissociation of PrP(Sc) and infectivity. Misfolded prion protein generated by protein misfolding cyclic amplification is as infectious as authentic brain-derived PrP(Sc) provided that confounding effects related to differences in the size distribution of prion protein aggregates generated in vitro and consecutive differences in regard to biological clearance are abolished.
Evaluation of two different intermittent pneumatic compression cycle settings in the healing of venous ulcers: a randomized trial. (2005)

Treatment with rapid IPC healed venous ulcers more rapidly and in more patients than slow IPC. Both IPC treatments were well tolerated and accepted by the patients. These data suggest that the rapid IPC used in this study is more effective than slow IPC in venous ulcer healing.
<i>N</i>-Acylethanolamines: Formation and Molecular Composition of a New Class of Plant Lipids1 (1998)

Recently, the biosynthesis of an unusual membrane phospholipid, N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE), was found to increase in elicitor-treated tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cells (K.D. Chapman, A. Conyers-Hackson, R.A. Moreau, S. Tripathy [1995] Physiol Plant 95: 120-126). Here we report that before induction of NAPE biosynthesis, N-acylethanolamine (NAE) is released from NAPE in cultured tobacco cells 10 min after treatment with the fungal elicitor xylanase. In radiolabeling experiments [14C]NAE (labeled on the ethanolamine carbons) increased approximately 6-fold in the culture medium, whereas [14C]NAPE associated with cells decreased approximately 5-fold. Two predominant NAE molecular species, N-lauroylethanolamine and N-myristoylethanolamine, were specifically identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in lipids extracted from culture medium, and both increased in concentration after elicitor treatment. NAEs were found to accumulate extracellularly only. A microsomal phospholipase D activity was discovered that formed NAE from NAPE; its activity in vitro was stimulated about 20-fold by mastoparan, suggesting that NAPE hydrolysis is highly regulated, perhaps by G-proteins. Furthermore, an NAE amidohydrolase activity that catalyzed the hydrolysis of NAE in vitro was detected in homogenates of tobacco cells. Collectively, these results characterize structurally a new class of plant lipids and identify the enzymatic machinery involved in its formation and inactivation in elicitor-treated tobacco cells. Recent evidence indicating a signaling role for NAPE metabolism in mammalian cells (H.H.O. Schmid, P.C. Schmid, V. Natarajan [1996] Chem Phys Lipids 80: 133-142) raises the possibility that a similar mechanism may operate in plant cells.
