Moving to the cloud: Workload migration techniques and approaches (2012)

The paper presents an important aspect of cloud computing technology, namely migrating enterprise level workloads to a cloud environment, without re-architecting or re-engineering the existing applications. How readily an application can be lifted and shifted onto a cloud platform depends on factors like nature of the application, the type of cloud etc. In this respect, the paper explores the methodology of migrations along with the challenges and issues that usually acts as a barrier for organizations trying to pursue this goal. An effort is also made to see how the cloud migration framework maps to the cloud Computing Reference Architecture model. Finally, a set of migration patterns which span the continuum from legacy IT environment to the cloud are included as a common framework for aligning the various migration approaches developed in support of using cloud as a delivery paradigm.
Resistin-like molecule-β is a human airway remodelling mediator (2011)

Though implicated in vascular remodelling, a role for the resistin-like molecule (RELM)-β in human airway remodelling remains unexplored. We hypothesised that RELM-β expression is increased in the airways of asthmatics and regulates airways epithelial cell function. Expression of RELM-β in the bronchial mucosa and its concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from asthmatics and controls were measured by immunohistochemistry and ELISA, respectively. Proliferation assays, Western blotting, ELISA and real-time PCR were employed to detect effects of RELM-β on airways epithelial cells. RELM-β expression was increased in the bronchial mucosa and BAL fluid of asthmatics compared with controls. In the asthmatics, the numbers of mucosal RELM-β+ cells correlated inversely with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (r=-0.531, p=0.016), while the numbers of epithelial RELM-β+ cells correlated positively with those of mucin (MUC)5AC+ cells. In vitro, interleukin-13 enhanced RELM-β expression by primary human airways epithelial cells, while RELM-β itself acted on these cells to induce proliferation, expression of MUC5AC, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt phosphorylation and elevated expression of transforming growth factor-β2, epidermal growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor. RELM-β has the potential to contribute to airway remodelling in diseases such as asthma by acting on epithelial cells to increase proliferation, mucin and growth factor production, at least partly via ERK/MAPK-PI3K/Akt signalling pathways.
Flexible Text Matching for Information Retrieval (1990)

Environmental gradient mainly shaped the population differentiation of P. macroptera. Marginal populations may be at high risk of extinction, and thus proactive management measures, such as assisted gene flow, are required to ensure the survival of these populations.
Effects of different infection forms of cytomegalovirus in pregnant women on the immune state of mothers and their infants (2007)

Objective To explore the effects of different infection forms of cytomegalovirus(CMV) in pregnant women on the immune state of mothers and their infants.Methods Vein blood was collected in pregnant women with positive IgG and/or IgM of CMV before delivery and CMV IgM antibody was detected.The pregnant women were separated into congenital infection group,recurrent infection group and control group according to examination results.CMV IgM antibody was detected in their infants.IL-2,IFN-γand IL-4 in serum were examined both pregnant women and their infants.Resuls Compared with control group,the level of IL-2,IL-4 of pregnant women decreased and the level of IL-2 of infants decreased in congenital infection group.The level of IL-2,IFN-γand IL-4 of infants with intrauterine CMV infection were significantly lower than those of control group(P0.05).Conclusion Immune ability was decreased by CMV congenital infection in pregnant women and immune state was inhibited in infants with intrauterine infection and their mothers with congenital infection.
Succinate Receptors in the Kidney (2011)

The G protein-coupled succinate and α-ketoglutarate receptors are closely related to the family of P2Y purinoreceptors. Although the α-ketoglutarate receptor is almost exclusively expressed in the kidney, its function is unknown. In contrast, the succinate receptor, SUCRN1, is expressed in a variety of tissues, including blood cells, adipose tissue, liver, retina, and the kidney. Recent evidence suggests SUCRN1 and its succinate ligand are novel detectors of local stress, including ischemia, hypoxia, toxicity, and hyperglycemia. Local levels of succinate in the kidney also activate the renin-angiotensin system and together with SUCRN1 may play a key role in the development of hypertension and the complications of diabetes mellitus, metabolic disease, and liver damage. This makes the succinate receptor a promising drug target to counteract an expanding number of interrelated disorders.
A new method for precipitating bacterial exopolysaccharides (1996)

Several methods for exopolysaccharide precipitation are compared and a new method is proposed which uses nitron (3,5,6-triphenyl-2,3,5,6-tetraaza[2.1.1]bicyclo-1-hexene) as the precipitating agent and gives recoveries of about 99%, using only 0.1 vol.. The highest recovery obtained with the usual methods was around 75%, using 3 vol. propanol, but this makes the final recovery more difficult.

Neutrophil-mediated injury to endothelial cells. Enhancement by endotoxin and essential role of neutrophil elastase. (1986)

The neutrophil has been implicated as an important mediator of vascular injury, especially after endotoxemia. This study examines neutrophil-mediated injury to human microvascular endothelial cells in vitro. We found that neutrophils stimulated by formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), the complement fragment C5a, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1-1,000 ng/ml) alone produced minimal endothelial injury over a 4-h assay. In contrast, neutrophils incubated with endothelial cells in the presence of low concentrations of LPS (1-10 ng/ml) could then be stimulated by FMLP or C5a to produce marked endothelial injury. Injury was maximal at concentrations of 100 ng/ml LPS and 10(-7) M FMLP. Pretreatment of neutrophils with LPS resulted in a similar degree of injury, suggesting that LPS effects were largely on the neutrophil. Endothelial cell injury produced by LPS-exposed, FMLP-stimulated neutrophils had a time course similar to that induced by the addition of purified human neutrophil elastase, and different from that induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Further, neutrophil-mediated injury was not inhibited by scavengers of a variety of oxygen radical species, and occurred with neutrophils from a patient with chronic granulomatous disease, which produced no H2O2. In contrast, the specific serine elastase inhibitor methoxy-succinyl-alanyl-alanyl-prolyl-valyl-chloromethyl ketone inhibited 63% of the neutrophil-mediated injury and 64% of the neutrophil elastase-induced injury. However, neutrophil-mediated injury was not inhibited significantly by 50% serum, 50% plasma, or purified alpha 1 proteinase inhibitor. These results suggest that, in this system, chemotactic factor-stimulated human neutrophil injury of microvascular endothelial cells is enhanced by small amounts of LPS and may be mediated in large part by the action of neutrophil elastase.
Open Logo Detection Challenge (2018)

Existing logo detection benchmarks consider artificial deployment scenarios by assuming that large training data with fine-grained bounding box annotations for each class are available for model training. Such assumptions are often invalid in realistic logo detection scenarios where new logo classes come progressively and require to be detected with little or none budget for exhaustively labelling fine-grained training data for every new class. Existing benchmarks are thus unable to evaluate the true performance of a logo detection method in realistic and open deployments. In this work, we introduce a more realistic and challenging logo detection setting, called Open Logo Detection. Specifically, this new setting assumes fine-grained labelling only on a small proportion of logo classes whilst the remaining classes have no labelled training data to simulate the open deployment. We further create an open logo detection benchmark, called OpenLogo,to promote the investigation of this new challenge. OpenLogo contains 27,083 images from 352 logo classes, built by aggregating/refining 7 existing datasets and establishing an open logo detection evaluation protocol. To address this challenge, we propose a Context Adversarial Learning (CAL) approach to synthesising training data with coherent logo instance appearance against diverse background context for enabling more effective optimisation of contemporary deep learning detection models. Experiments show the performance advantage of CAL over existing state-of-the-art alternative methods on the more realistic and challenging OpenLogo benchmark.

Integrating robotic assembly planning and scheduling: a two-dimensional view (2002)

A unified framework is proposed for constructing embedded robotic assembly systems that integrate plan generation and plan execution (scheduling). The salient feature of this framework is that robotic assembly planning and scheduling are organized into two orthogonal problem-solving processes that can be carried out in two distinctive modes: an interleaved or a temporarily separated manner. The utility and advantages of this two-dimensional framework are demonstrated in the context of a fully integrated planning and scheduling system which has been implemented and tested in the domain of robotic assembly.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Influence of Rapid Correction of Metabolic Acidosis on Serum Osteocalcin Level in Chronic Renal Failure (1994)

Metabolic acidosis induces a combination of inhibited osteoblastic and stimulated osteoclastic activity. To determine the role of alkali therapy in osteoblast function in chronic renal failure, serum bone isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and osteocalcin were assessed before and after bicarbonate infusion. Eighteen patients with mild to moderate metabolic acidosis, none of whom had received dialysis therapy, were enrolled in this study. Metabolic acidosis was corrected by continuous bicarbonate infusion while plasma ionized calcium was monitored at 5 min intervals and held at the preinfusion level by calcium solution infusion during the entire procedure. The end-point of the study was reached when the plasma bicarbonate was approximately 24 mmol/l or pH was approximately 7.4 and plasma ionized calcium was clamped at the preinfusion level with only a 0.01 mmol/l fluctuation. The plasma pH (7.31 +/- 0.04 vs. 7.40 +/- 0.03, P < 0.001), bicarbonate (18.46 +/- 2.49 vs. 23.66 +/- 2.72 mmol/l, P < 0.001), serum total calcium, and osteocalcin (15.61 +/- 6.45 vs. 18.79 +/- 6.71 mg/l, P < 0.05) levels were significantly increased, whereas serum concentrations of alkaline phosphatase and albumin levels were significantly decreased after bicarbonate infusion. The serum BAP (1.85 +/- 1.29 vs. 1.79 +/- 1.18 mukat/l, P = 0.252), and inorganic phosphorus levels showed no significant differences before and after bicarbonate infusion. These results demonstrate that rapid correction of metabolic acidosis improves osteoblast function and may underline the importance of maintaining normal acid-base homeostasis in chronic renal failure.

O fatty acids in major depressive disorder A preliminary double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (2003)

Patients with depression have been extensively reported to be associated with the abnormality of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including significantly low eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in cell tissue contents (red blood cell membrane, plasma, etc.) and dietary intake. However, more evidence is needed to support its relation. In this study, we conducted an 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, comparing omega-3 PUFAs (9.6 g / day) with placebo, on the top of the usual treatment, in 28 patients with major depressive disorder. Patients in the omega-3 PUFA group had a significantly decreased score on the 21-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression than those in the placebo group (P,0.001). From the preliminary findings in this study, omega-3 PUFAs could improve the short-term course of illness and were well tolerated in patients with major depressive disorder.

Show me the invisible (2014)

Content on computer screens is often inaccessible to users because it is hidden, e.g., occluded by other windows, outside the viewport, or overlooked. In search tasks, the efficient retrieval of sought content is important. Current software, however, only provides limited support to visualize hidden occurrences and rarely supports search synchronization crossing application boundaries. To remedy this situation, we introduce two novel visualization methods to guide users to hidden content. Our first method generates awareness for occluded or out-of-viewport content using see-through visualization. For content that is either outside the screen's viewport or for data sources not opened at all, our second method shows off-screen indicators and an on-demand smart preview. To reduce the chances of overlooking content, we use visual links, i.e., visible edges, to connect the visible content or the visible representations of the hidden content. We show the validity of our methods in a user study, which demonstrates that our technique enables a faster localization of hidden content compared to traditional search functionality and thereby assists users in information retrieval tasks.
A Passengers Matching Problem in Ridesharing Systems by Considering User Preference (2015)

Ridesharing system has been recognized as an efficient transport mode to solve the environment, energy, traffic congestion issues. In recent researches, user preference was revealed as an important factor to enhance the performance and reliability of ridesharing systems. With the development in information and communication technologies (ICT), internet-enabled devices and social network enable us to obtain real-time travel information and users' personality. Therefore, user preference based on their personality is considered in this study. The aims of this study are to formulate a matching model between passengers by considering user preference and to investigate how user preference affects ridesharing system's performance. The algorithm for solving stable roommates problem is modified for one-on-one passengers matching problem. The factors of user preference are personality and steadiness of user personality. The results of numerical experiments showed that steadiness of user personality affected to both individual and system success rate, while personality only affected to system success rate.
17.3 A 60GHz on-chip linear radiator with single-element 27.9dBm P<inf>sat</inf> and 33.1dBm peak EIRP using multifeed antenna for direct on-antenna power combining (2017)

A major challenge for low-cost silicon-based mm-wave wireless links, e.g., for the 5G communication, is to provide large transmitter (Tx) output power (P <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">out</sub> ) with high energy efficiency and linearity from a limited supply voltage, so that the high path loss and limited link budget at mm-wave can be compensated. Power combining is often required for high-power mm-wave Tx. The existing power-combining techniques are mainly in two categories. Passive on-chip/on-package networks can combine P <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">out</sub> from multiple power amplifiers (PAs) and feed a single antenna port [1-4]. However, lossy power combiners and large impedance transformation ratios degrade the total P <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">out</sub> delivered to the antenna and lower the Tx efficiency. Alternatively, spatial power combining using antenna array increases the total EIRP but at the expense of a large array-panel size. Moreover, a large antenna array often presents an exceedingly narrow (or even pencil-sharp) beamwidth; this complicates the Tx/Rx alignment and is challenging for dynamic and mobile mm-wave applications, such as 5G links. In addition, adding silicon lens enhances EIRP but increases cost and packaging complexity.
Automated closed-loop resuscitation of multiple hemorrhages: a comparison between fuzzy logic and decision table controllers in a sheep model (2017)

ALS diagnostic criteria of El Escorial Revisited: do they meet the needs of clinicians as well as researchers? (2000)

The El Escorial criteria for diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have been in use for almost a decade. A revised set of criteria, meant to supersede the original set, was developed at a 1998 World Federation of Neurology (WFN) ALS meeting at Airlie House in Warrenton, Virginia, USA. This revised document, nicknamed El Escorial Revisited, has been published on the WFN-ALS website. El Escorial has proven useful in standardizing diagnostic criteria for entry into research trials and it is expected that El Escorial Revisited will help to liberalize such entry requirements. However, general neurologists and neuromuscular clinicians have found El Escorial to be unwieldy and generally unhelpful in achieving an earlier, accurate diagnosis of ALS. The El Escorial Revisited document is a step toward lessening these problems, but more 'user-friendly' criteria may be necessary for clinicians and those not conducting research. Such ALS criteria would improve categorization of ALS patients, would allow clinicians more latitude in beginning ALS treatment, and would educate practitioners to differentiate ALS from other motor neuron and non-motor neuron diseases. Intensive education of physicians will help improve earlier patient referral and accurate ALS diagnosis. There remains a group of 'difficult cases' that will continue to challenge the neuromuscular specialist. Earlier diagnosis in this latter group will require significant advances in the fields of electrodiagnosis, neuroimaging, immunobiochemistry, and neurogenetics.
Eosinophil‐derived proteins in nasal lavage fluid of neonates of allergic parents and the development of respiratory symptoms during the first 6 months of life (2000)

Increased nasal ECP and EPX in the first 4 weeks of life are associated with wheezing in 6-month-old infants at increased risk of atopic disease. We suggest that this might be related to a general tendency for a Th2 cytokine pattern in these young infants and subsequent trafficking of eosinophils into the nasal mucosa, or it might be a consequence of intrauterine allergen exposure.
