Paradoxical Behaviour in Social Media Usage. (2020)

The Privacy Paradox is a recently emerged phenomenon. It looks at a person’s intention to disclose information and the actual disclosure of information. In this research, we look at the extent of the relationship between the social media behaviour of a student and their attitude towards privacy. With these results, we can conclude whether they show paradoxical behaviour. These results are derived from a questionnaire among information technology students (n=126) and analyzed to extract the extent of the relationships between certain variables. The data analysis showed significant relationships between several variables, none of which indicated paradoxical behaviour among the population. However, it did give way to various interesting relationships. The results indicate paradoxical behaviour to a certain extent, specifically with regards to social media use self-disclosure and information and privacy concerns and privacy settings. Additionally, the research indicates that the higher the educational background of the participant, the less likely they are to exhibit paradoxical behaviour.

Application of Electro-Osmosis to a Foundation Problem in a Norwegian Quick Clay (1967)

Synopsis The Paper describes a case where the application of electro-osmosis resulted in an increase in strength of a very soft quick clay from an initial value of less than 1 t/m 2 to an average value of 4 t/m 2 . Based on observations made during treatment and at the excavation site, an attempt is made to give a picture of the effect of electro-osmotic treatment on a soft clay. The observations include measurements of settlements and pore pressures at various depths and studies of the change in properties of the clay resulting from the treatment. On décrit une application d'électro-osmose. La résistance au cisaillement d'une argile très fluide a augmenté de 1 t/m 2 à une valeur moyenne de 4 t/m 2 . On discute les effets électro-osmotiques sur la base des observations Qu'on a fait uendant le traitement électro-osmotique et des invetigations des échantillons qu'on a prit pendant l'excavation. On a mesuré des tassements et des pressions de l'eau interstitielle aux profondeurs variés, en même temps qu'on a étudié les changements de propriété de l'argile dû au traitement électro-osmotique.
Method of detecting tissue contact for fiber-optic probes to automate data acquisition without hardware modification (2013)

We present a novel algorithm to detect contact with tissue and automate data acquisition. Contact fiber-optic probe systems are useful in noninvasive applications and real-time analysis of tissue properties. However, applications of these technologies are limited to procedures with visualization to ensure probe-tissue contact and individual user techniques can introduce variability. The software design exploits the system previously designed by our group as an optical method to automatically detect tissue contact and trigger acquisition. This method detected tissue contact with 91% accuracy, detected removal from tissue with 83% accuracy and reduced user variability by > 8%. Without the need for additional hardware, this software algorithm can easily integrate into any fiber-optic system and expands applications where visualization is difficult.
THE SHRP ASPHALT RESEARCH PROGRAM PRODUCTS (1990)

This paper describes the progress of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) Asphalt Research Program since 1987, with emphasis on the primary products of the program, viz. performance-based specifications for asphalt binders and asphalt-aggregate mixtures. Two unique features of the SHRP research program are its accelerated nature and its reliance on what may be termed just in time results. In each SHRP area, a goal is established and the results necessary to obtain it are defined. Since SHRP has a firm completion date of 31 March 1993, all the contracts in the asphalt program are planned on a tight schedule that does not allow work to be accomplished in the sequential manner often used by researchers. Rather, all the major contracts are proceeding simultaneously with continual coordination as required to assure that the results needed from each are delivered successfully and on schedule. In the period through mid-1989, three major components of the program have been established: (1) binder characterization and evaluation; (2) testing and measuring of asphalt-aggregate interactions and mixtures; and (3) asphalt modification. Although the research studies implementing these components are still in their early phases, important and useful results have already been realized and are reviewed in this paper.
Equation of state of hydrous Fo<sub>90</sub> ringwoodite to 45 GPa by synchrotron powder diffraction (2005)

Abstract The equation of state of Fo 90 hydrous ringwoodite has been measured using X-ray powder diffraction to 45 GPa at the GSECARS beam line at the Advanced Photon Source synchrotron at Argonne National Laboratory. The sample was synthesized at 1400°C and 20 GPa in the 5000 ton multi anvil press at Bayerisches Geoinstitut in Bayreuth. The sample has the formula Mg 1.70 Fe 0.19 2+ Fe 0.02 3+ H 0.13 - Si 1.00 O 4 as determined by electron microprobe, Fourier transform infrared and Mössbauer spectroscopies, and contains ~0.79% H 2 O by weight. Compression of the sample had been been measured previously to 11 GPa by single crystal X-ray diffraction. A third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state fit to all of the data gives V 0 = 530.49±0.07 Å 3 , K 0 = 174.6±2.7 GPa and K ' = 6.2±0.6. The effect of 1% H incorporation in the structure on the bulk modulus is large and roughly equivalent to an increase in the temperature of ∼600°C at low pressure. The large value of K ' indicates significant stiffening of the sample with pressure so that the effect of hydration decreases with pressure.
Cytotoxic Effects during Knock Out of Multiple Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus (PERV) Sequences in the Pig Genome by Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFN) (2015)

Xenotransplantation has been proposed as a solution to the shortage of suitable human donors for transplantation and pigs are currently favoured as donor animals. However, xenotransplantation may be associated with the transmission of zoonotic microorganisms. Whereas most porcine microorganisms representing a risk for the human recipient may be eliminated by designated pathogen free breeding, multiple copies of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated in the genome of all pigs and cannot be eliminated this way. PERVs are released as infectious particles and infect human cells. The zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) technology allows knocking out specifically cellular genes, however it was not yet used to eliminate multiple integrated proviral sequences with a strong conservation in the target sequence. To reduce the risk of horizontal PERV transmission and to knock out as many as possible proviruses, for the first time the powerful tool of the ZFN technology was used. ZFN were designed to bind specifically to sequences conserved in all known replication-competent proviruses. Expression and transport of the ZFN into the nucleus was shown by Western blot analysis, co-localisation analysis, PLA and FRET. Survival of transfected cells was analysed using fluorescent ZFN and cell counting. After transfection a strong expression of the ZFN proteins and a co-localisation of the expressed ZFN proteins were shown. However, expression of the ZFN was found to be extremely toxic for the transfected cells. The induced cytotoxicity was likely due to the specific cutting of the high copy number of the PERV proviruses, which is also commonly observed when ZFN with low specificity cleave numerous off-target sites in a genome. This is the first attempt to knock out multiple, nearly identical, genes in a cellular genome using ZFN. The attempt failed, and other strategies should be used to prevent PERV transmission.
A Hierarchical Standard Cell Approach for Custom VLSI Design (1984)

A custom VLSI design technique, using an integrated CAD system is described. The design system features on the hierarchical design process and layout design capability by system designers (customers). As for application, high-performance LSI's for 16-bit CPU were developed. The LSI design was accomplished in a short period (three months with three designers) due to the hierarchical standard cell approach. The LSI chip contains about 20 K transistors in an 8.84 mm X 8.88 mm die area. High-speed operation (machine cycle = 200 ns) and a high density of 291 transistors/mm2 were obtained with low power consumption (1.2 W) owing to the mixed-MOS type standard cell library and this approach.
Gene therapy in allergic encephalomyelitis using myelin basic protein-specific T cells engineered to express latent transforming growth factor-β1 (1998)

A myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific BALB/c T helper 1 (Th1) clone was transduced with cDNA for murine latent transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) by coculture with fibroblasts producing a genetically engineered retrovirus. When SJL x BALB/c F1 mice, immunized 12-15 days earlier with proteolipid protein in complete Freund's adjuvant, were injected with 3 x 10(6) cells from MBP-activated untransduced cloned Th1 cells, the severity of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) was slightly increased. In contrast, MBP-activated (but not resting) latent TGF-beta1-transduced T cells significantly delayed and ameliorated EAE development. This protective effect was negated by simultaneously injected anti-TGF-beta1. The transduced cells secreted 2-4 ng/ml of latent TGF-beta1 into their culture medium, whereas control cells secreted barely detectable amounts. mRNA profiles for tumor necrosis factor, lymphotoxin, and interferon-gamma were similar before and after transduction; interleukin-4 and -10 were absent. TGF-beta1-transduced and antigen-activated BALB/c Th1 clones, specific for hemocyanin or ovalbumin, did not ameliorate EAE. Spinal cords from mice, taken 12 days after receiving TGF-beta1-transduced, antigen-activated cells, contained detectable amounts of TGF-beta1 cDNA. We conclude that latent TGF-beta1-transduced, self-reactive T cell clones may be useful in the therapy of autoimmune diseases.
Pyrenoline-A and -B, two new phytotoxins from Pyrenophora teres (1990)

Two novel isoquinoline fungal derivatives, pyrenoline-A and -B, were isolated from the culture fluid of Pyrenophora teres, a pathogen of barley, and characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction techniques.

Cancer Stem Cells in Breast Cancer (2011)

The cancer stem cell (CSC) theory is generally acknowledged as an important field of cancer research, not only as an academic matter but also as a crucial aspect of clinical practice. CSCs share a variety of biological properties with normal somatic stem cells in self-renewal, the propagation of differentiated progeny, the expression of specific cell markers and stem cell genes, and the utilization of common signaling pathways and the stem cell niche. However, CSCs differ from normal stem cells in their chemoresistance and their tumorigenic and metastatic activities. In this review, we focus on recent reports regarding the identification of CSC markers and the molecular mechanism of CSC phenotypes to understand the basic properties and molecular target of CSCs. In addition, we especially focus on the CSCs of breast cancer since the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy can lead to the enrichment of CSCs in patients with that disease. The identification of CSC markers and an improved understanding of the molecular mechanism of CSC phenotypes should lead to progress in cancer therapy and improved prognoses for patients with cancer.
A Work-Centered Visual Analytics Model to Support Engineering Design with Interactive Visualization and Data-Mining (2012)

To support the knowledge discovery and decision making from large-scale, multi-dimensional, continuous data sets, novel systems of visual analytics need the capability to identify hidden patterns in data that are critical for in-depth analysis. In this paper, we present a work-centered approach to support visual analytics of complex data sets by combining user-centered interactive visualization and data-oriented computational algorithms. We design and implement a specific system prototype, Learning-based Interactive Visualization for Engineering design (LIVE), for engineering designers to handle overwhelming information such as numerous design alternatives generated from automatic simulating software. During the exploration within a "trade space" consisting of possible designs and potential solutions, engineering designers want to analyze the data, discover hidden patterns, and identify preferable solutions. The proposed system allows designers to interactively examine large design data sets through visualization and interactively construct data models from automatic data mining algorithms. We expect that our approach can help designers efficiently and effectively make sense of large-scale design data sets and generate decisions. We also report a preliminary evaluation on our system by analyzing a real engineering design problem related to aircraft wing sizing.
Noninvasive Positive-Pressure Ventilation for Respiratory Failure after Extubation (2004)

Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation does not prevent the need for reintubation or reduce mortality in unselected patients who have respiratory failure after extubation.
Real‐time business process monitoring using formal concept analysis (2011)

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to help industrial managers monitor and analyze critical performance indicators in real time during the execution of business processes by proposing a visualization technique using an extended formal concept analysis (FCA). The proposed approach monitors the current progress of ongoing processes and periodically predicts their probable routes and performances. Design/methodology/approach FCA is utilized to analyze relations among patterns of events in historical process logs, and this method of data analysis visualizes the relations in a concept lattice. To apply FCA to real‐time business process monitoring, the authors extended the conventional concept lattice into a reachability lattice, which enables managers to recognize reachable patterns of events in specific instances of business processes. Findings By using a reachability lattice, expected values of a target key performance indicator are predicted and traced along with probable outcomes. Analysis is conducted periodically as the monitoring time elapses over the course of business processes. Practical implications The proposed approach focuses on the visualization of probable event occurrences on the basis of historical data. Such visualization can be utilized by industrial managers to evaluate the status of any given instance during business processes and to easily predict possible subsequent states for purposes of effective and efficient decision making. The proposed method was developed in a prototype system for proof of concept and has been illustrated using a simplified real‐world example of a business process in a telecommunications company. Originality/value The main contribution of this paper lies in the development of a real‐time monitoring approach of ongoing processes. The authors have provided a new data structure, namely a reachability lattice, which visualizes real‐time progress of ongoing business processes. As a result, current and probable next states can be predicted graphically using periodically conducted analysis during the processes.
Aerosol delivery of chemotherapy in an orthotopic model of lung cancer (2005)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect on tumour growth of gemcitabine delivered by aerosol in an orthotopic model of lung carcinoma. Large cell carcinoma (NCI-H460) cells were implanted intrabronchially in 24 male BALB/c nude mice on day (d) 0. Aerosols were delivered once a week from d1 to d29 using an endotracheal sprayer. Altogether, 16 animals received gemcitabine at 8 (n=8) and 12 mg.kg-1 (n=8), and eight received a vehicle aerosol. Animals were sacrificed on d36 for histological examination. All animals in the vehicle group developed a large infiltrating carcinoma. Comparatively, four of 13 (31%) animals treated with gemcitabine had no visible tumour and nine of 13 (69%) had a smaller carcinoma with a mean+/-sem largest tumour diameter of 2.05+/-0.7 versus 5+/-0.3 mm in the vehicle group. Gemcitabine was well tolerated at 8 mg.kg-1. At 12 mg.kg-1, three cases of fatal pulmonary oedema were observed, prompting a dose reduction to 8 mg.kg-1 in the remaining animals. A dose effect was observed, with more marked tumour growth inhibition in the animals treated at 12 mg.kg-1 on d1 and d8. In conclusion, in this study, an animal model of aerosolised chemotherapy in lung cancer was developed and demonstrated inhibition of orthotopic tumour growth by aerosol delivery of gemcitabine.
Analysis of High-Speed Cylindrical Roller Bearing With Flexible Rings Mounted in a Squeeze Film Damper (2007)

For high-precision mechanical systems such as gas-turbine engines, which operate under extreme conditions, it is particularly important to accurately predict the behavior of the mainshaft rolling bearings. This prediction includes, among others, the load distribution, stiffness and power dissipation. Although shaft speeds tend to increase, rings and shaft walls are becoming thinner due to size and weight constraints. Thus, bearing behavior is no longer independent of the housing and ring stiffness. Furthermore, since forty years, the use of squeeze film damper is largely widespread in gas-turbine engines to significantly reduce the vibratory levels. Due to the flexibility of the ring providing the interface between the roller bearing and the fluid film, it appears an elastic coupling which modifies the behavior of the bearing-squeeze film damper system. This paper presents first a squeeze film damper model with a flexible inner ring (i.e. outer ring of the roller bearing). An analytical stop model is introduced to reproduce the interference between the inner ring of the squeeze film damper and its housing. In a second part, an elastic coupling between the presented squeeze film damper model and an existing roller bearing model is proposed. Finally, the results presented show that this coupling has a first order influence on the behavior of the bearing-squeeze film damper system. It is also shown that the coupling between a roller bearing and a squeeze film damper when linked by a flexible ring introduces a dissymmetry of the load distribution with respect to the applied load direction. Moreover, in certain cases, the position of the bearing in its housing can reach eccentricities larger than the radial clearance of the squeeze film damper.
Far-Field Automatic Speech Recognition (2020)

The machine recognition of speech spoken at a distance from the microphones, known as far-field automatic speech recognition (ASR), has received a significant increase in attention in science and industry, which caused or was caused by an equally significant improvement in recognition accuracy. Meanwhile, it has entered the consumer market with digital home assistants with a spoken language interface being its most prominent application. Speech recorded at a distance is affected by various acoustic distortions, and consequently, quite different processing pipelines have emerged compared with ASR for close-talk speech. A signal enhancement front end for dereverberation, source separation, and acoustic beamforming is employed to clean up the speech, and the back-end ASR engine is robustified by multicondition training and adaptation. We will also describe the so-called end-to-end approach to ASR, which is a new promising architecture that has recently been extended to the far-field scenario. This tutorial article gives an account of the algorithms used to enable accurate speech recognition from a distance, and it will be seen that, although deep learning has a significant share in the technological breakthroughs, a clever combination with traditional signal processing can lead to surprisingly effective solutions.
A Model Attention and Selection Framework for Estimation of Many Variables, with Applications to Estimating Object States in Large Spatial Environments (2014)

Robots performing service tasks such as cooking and cleaning in human-centric environments require knowledge of certain environmental states in order to complete tasks successfully. While much effort has gone into developing various estimators for deriving distributions on values of unknown states, less attention has been placed on why the particular estimation problem arises. In this work, I argue that state estimation should no longer be treated as a black box. Estimating large sets of variables is computationally costly; just because a technique exists to estimate the values of certain variables does not justify its application. For robots whose ultimate mission is to complete tasks, only variables that are relevant to successful completion should be estimated. I propose to initially only track a minimal set of directly-relevant variables (attention), and gradually increase the sophistication of models on-demand (refinement), in a local fashion. This estimator refinement process is triggered by violations in expectations of task success (mismatch). This model selection framework is demonstrated through a proof-of-concept case study.
Towards Good Practices for Action Video Encoding (2014)

High dimensional representations such as VLAD or FV have shown excellent accuracy in action recognition. This paper shows that a proper encoding built upon VLAD can achieve further accuracy boost with only negligible computational cost. We empirically evaluated various VLAD improvement technologies to determine good practices in VLAD-based video encoding. Furthermore, we propose an interpretation that VLAD is a maximum entropy linear feature learning process. Combining this new perspective with observed VLAD data distribution properties, we propose a simple, lightweight, but powerful bimodal encoding method. Evaluated on 3 benchmark action recognition datasets (UCF101, HMDB51 and Youtube), the bimodal encoding improves VLAD by large margins in action recognition.
