Names, Ethnic Identity, and Community in Fifth- and Sixth-Century Burgundy (1994)

"Names, Ethnic Identity, and Community in Fifth- and Sixth-Century Burgundy." Despite much recent work emphasizing the political construction and volatility of ethnic identity at the end of the Roman Empire, some scholars continue to see polarized communities of barbarian soldiers and Roman senators in the kingdom of Burgundy (443-534). In Burgundy the division of personal names between the counts (almost all Germanic) and the bishops (almost all Greco-Latin) might seem to support a theory of ethnic division. Nevertheless, individual aristocratic men and women behaved in consistently similar ways, founding churches, debating theology, serving in the royal government, corresponding, and leaving metrical Latin epitaphs. The division of names does stem from descent: the military counts from barbarian mercenaries, the bishops from senatorial families. But none of these people defined themselves as "Roman" or "Burgundian," and their provincial late antique world contained nothing resembling traditional ideas of Germanic culture. The mentalities of the lower classes remain more elusive, but scraps of evidence show that some of them served in the regional government of the Burgundian kings, and suggest that in rural areas their identities were defined by locality, not ethnicity.

Quo vadis water distribution model calibration? (2009)

Hydraulic water distribution system (WDS) simulation models are widely used by planners, water utility personnel, consultants and many others involved in analysis, design, operation or maintenance of water distribution systems. Similarly, water quality models that work in concert with hydraulic models are now commonly used to simulate the dispersion of and changes in water quality in a water distribution network. As with all mathematical models, WDS model parameters (hydraulic and water quality) require calibration before useful results may be obtained. Nowadays, automated calibration procedures are widely available for hydraulic models, but less so for water quality models. Even when they are available as commercial software, the use of these advanced calibration tools in engineering practice has been limited. This paper provides a review of model calibration approaches and considers future challenges and directions.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with abatacept treatment for rheumatoid arthritis: A case report (2017)

Abatacept (Orencia®, Bristol-Myers Squibb Canada) is a selective T-cell co-stimulation modulator that has an emerging role in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We present a case of a patient with RA who developed severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) after exposure to abatacept therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first case describing a possible association between abatacept and the development of PAH. A causal link between abatacept and PAH is not clear, but ongoing monitoring by physicians prescribing abatacept is important to monitor for other instances of this potentially serious complication.RÉSUMÉL'abatacept (Orencia®, Bristol-Myers Squibb Canada) est un modulateur sélectif de la costimulation des cellules T qui a un rôle émergent dans le traitement de l'arthrite rhumatoïde. Nous présentons le cas d'un patient atteint d'arthrite rhumatoïde qui a commencé à souffrir d'hypertension artérielle pulmonaire grave après un traitement par abatacept. À notre connaissance, il s'agit du premier cas décrivant une association possible entre l'abatacept et la survenue de l'hypertension artérielle pulmonaire. Il n'existe pas de lien causal clair entre l'abatacept et l'hypertension artérielle pulmonaire, mais il est important que les médecins qui prescrivent de l'abatacept effectuent un suivi continu pour surveiller l'apparition d'autres cas présentant cette complication potentiellement grave.
An online visualization system for streaming log data of computing clusters (2013)

Monitoring a computing cluster requires collecting and understanding log data generated at the core, computer, and cluster levels at run time. Visualizing the log data of a computing cluster is a challenging problem due to the complexity of the underlying dataset: it is streaming, hierarchical, heterogeneous, and multi-sourced. This paper presents an integrated visualization system that employs a two-stage streaming process mode. Prior to the visual display of the multi-sourced information, the data generated from the clusters is gathered, cleaned, and modeled within a data processor. The visualization supported by a visual computing processor consists of a set of multivariate and time variant visualization techniques, including time sequence chart, treemap, and parallel coordinates. Novel techniques to illustrate the time tendency and abnormal status are also introduced. We demonstrate the effectiveness and scalability of the proposed system framework on a commodity cloud-computing platform.
Functional test generation for synchronous sequential circuits (1996)

We present a novel, highly efficient functional test generation methodology for synchronous sequential circuits. We generate test vectors for the growth (G) and disappearance (D) faults using a cube description of the finite state machine (FSM). Theoretical results establish that these tests guarantee a complete coverage of stuck faults in combinational and sequential circuits, synthesized through algebraic transformations. The truth table of the combinational logic of the circuit is modeled in the form known as personality matrix (PM) and vectors are obtained using highly efficient cube-based test generation method of programmable logic arrays (PLA). Sequential circuits are modeled as arrays of time-frames and new algorithms for state justification and fault propagation through faulty PLAs are derived. We also give a fault simulation procedure for G and D faults. Experiments show that test generation can be orders of magnitude faster and achieves a coverage of gate-level stuck faults that is higher than a gate-level sequential-circuit test generator. Results on a broad class of small to large synthesis benchmark PSM's from MCNC support our claim that functional test generation based on G and D faults is a viable and economical alternative to gate level ATPG, especially in a logic synthesis environment. The generated test sequences are implementation-independent and can be obtained even when details of specific implementation are unavailable. For the ISCAS'89 benchmarks, available only in multilevel netlist form, we extract the PM and generate functional tests. Experimental results show that a proper resynthesis improves the stuck fault coverage of these tests.
Directionality and Regulation of Cassette Substitution in Yeast (1984)

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is able to switch efficiently between two complex cell types, mating-types a and α, by genetic rearrangement. This process of mating-type interconversion is regulated in many different ways. In particular, it occurs only in specific cell types, only in certain cells in a clone of cells undergoing interconversion, and only at particular times in a given cell cycle. Similarly, the genetic rearrangement itself is a transposition and substitution event with a high degree of specificity.
The synthesis of highly active thiophene ring-containing chromophore components for photonic polymers based on a newly designed route (1999)

2-Aminothiophene derivatives are the key intermediates for the present synthesis. It is known that the synthesis of 2-aminothiophene is troublesome although it is a rather simple heterocycle. In this work, an early report was newly developed as a basis for the efficient synthesis of thiophene-ring-containing chromophore components for photonic polymers. 2-Amino-5-nitrothiophene and 2-amino-3,5-dinitrothiophene were synthesized in excellent yield. After diazotization, the 2-aminothiophene derivatives were directly treated with N-phenyldiethanolamine to afford two-electron push–pull compounds. A similar styryl compound was also prepared. All of these chromophore molecules have further polymerizable hydroxy groups on one end of the molecule. These compounds are currently showing interesting potential in making highly sensitive, nonlinear optical polymeric materials.
COVID‐19 Airway Management Isolation Chamber (2020)

The CAMIC system appears to provide a barrier that actively removes particles from within the chamber and limits egress. Further studies are necessary to determine clinical applicability. The CAMIC may serve as an adjunct to improve health care worker safety and patient outcomes.
The intrinsic electrical equivalent circuit of a laser diode (1981)

The basic electrical equivalent circuit of a laser diode is derived. The effects of spontaneous emission and self-pulsations are included. It is found that self-pulsations are represented by a negative resistance in the model. Application of this model suggests purely electronic methods of suppressing relaxation oscillations in laser diodes.
Experimental results from a pilot plant for converting acid whey to potentially useful food products (1978)

The pilot plant used a fluidized bed with lactase immobilized on aluminia as well as ultrafiltration and demineralization equipment. Conversion of lactose to its consitiuent monosaccharides was up to 84%, vs. 65% on a bench scale. Advantages of the fluidized bed reactor are its freedom from plugging, its lower pressure loss, and its adaptability to frequent cleaning, compared to a fixed bed.
Effects of enzymatic treatments on the depth-dependent viscoelastic shear properties of articular cartilage (2014)

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that involves the erosion and structural weakening of articular cartilage. OA is characterized by the degradation of collagen and proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix (ECM), particularly at the articular surface by proteinases including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTSs).(1) Degradation of collagen and proteoglycans is known to alter shear mechanical properties of cartilage, but study of this phenomenon has been focused on bulk tissue properties. The purpose of this study was to assess microscale cartilage damage induced by trypsin or collagenase using a technique to measure the local shear viscoelastic properties. Safranin-O histology revealed a decrease in proteoglycans near the articular surface after collagenase and trypsin digestions, with proteoglycan depletion increasing in time. Similarly, confocal reflectance micrographs showed increasing collagen degradation in collagenase treated samples, although the collagen network remained intact after trypsin treatment. Both treatments induced changes in shear modulus that were confined to a narrow range (∼400µm) near tissue surface. In addition, collagenase altered the total energy dissipation distribution by up to a factor of 100, with longer digestion times corresponding to higher energy dissipation. The ability to detect local mechanical signatures in tissue composition and mechanics is an important tool for understanding the spatially non-uniform changes that occur in articular cartilage diseases such as OA.
FPGA-based peak detection of ECG signal using histogram approach (2017)

The heart is the most vital organ of the human body. Its diagnosis is done by a very old-school method called Electrocardiogram (ECG). This paper proposes a simple method to detect and identify the R peak, P peak and the T peaks from a noise free ECG signal. This is achieved with the help of histogram based algorithm, which has been applied on MIT-BIH noise stress test database obtained from physio.net. The method has been chosen as it does not involve any complex mathematical model. The algorithm has been implemented and tested in MATLAB for initial testing. It has been further implemented in Field-programmable gate array (FPGA), VIRTEX-5 device as hardware platform. Xilinx 14.7 ISE design suite with VHDL RTL coding has been used for peak detection and identification purpose. The performance of the proposed technique has been evaluated and compared against previous implementations.
Vital tooth bleaching: the White and Brite technique. (1990)

A new system of vital and nonvital teeth bleaching is a cosmetic and conservative method of treating dentition discolored by ingested substances, trauma, or other causes. The system also allows individuals with normal range dentition to whiten their teeth to meet cosmetic demands. This article reviews the literature, examines the effects of conventional teeth bleaching techniques, presents a new method for bleaching vital and nonvital teeth, and discusses the impact of new methods on the science of teeth whitening.
Combinatorial effects of environmental parameters on transcriptional regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: A quantitative analysis of a compendium of chemostat-based transcriptome data (2009)

Modeling the combinatorial effects of environmental parameters on the transcriptome is crucial for understanding transcriptional regulation. Chemostat cultivation offers a powerful tool for such an approach.
Association of canine hypothyroidism with a common major histocompatibility complex DLA class II allele (2006)

Dogs exhibit a range of immune-mediated conditions including a lymphocytic thyroiditis which has many similarities to Hashimoto's thyroiditis in man. We have recently reported an association in Doberman Pinschers between canine hypothyroidism and a rare DLA class II haplotype that contains the DLA-DQA1*00101 allele. We now report a further series of 173 hypothyroid dogs in a range of breeds where a significant association with DLA-DQA1*00101 is shown.
Analysis of genomic sequences by Chaos Game Representation (2001)

The distribution of positions in the CGR plane were shown to be a generalization of Markov chain probability tables that accommodates non-integer orders. Therefore, Markov models are particular cases of CGR models rather than the reverse, as currently accepted. In addition, the CGR generalization has both practical (computational efficiency) and fundamental (scale independence) advantages. These results are illustrated by using Escherichia coli K-12 as a test data-set, in particular, the genes thrA, thrB and thrC of the threonine operon.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from patients with cystic fibrosis: a class of serum-sensitive, nontypable strains deficient in lipopolysaccharide O side chains (1983)

Twenty-six Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from patients with cystic fibrosis were typed by the Fisher immunotyping scheme. Only 6 strains were agglutinated by a single typing serum, whereas 15 strains were agglutinated with more than one serum and 5 were not agglutinated by any serum. Neither the polyagglutinable nor the nonagglutinable strains were typable by hemagglutination inhibition or immunodiffusion, suggesting that these polyagglutinable strains did not express multiple serotype antigens, but were instead being agglutinated by antibody to nonserotype determinants. Four typable isolates were resistant to pooled normal human serum, whereas the 12 polyagglutinable and nonagglutinable isolates studied were very sensitive to normal human serum. The outer membranes of 16 strains were isolated and characterized. The data suggested, in general, strong conservation of outer membrane protein patterns. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were purified by a new technique which allowed isolation of both rough and smooth LPS in high yields. Three of four typable, serum-resistant strains examined had amounts of smooth, O-antigen-containing LPS equivalent to our laboratory wild type, P. aeruginosa PAO1 strain H103. In contrast, 10 of 12 polyagglutinable or nonagglutinable, serum-sensitive strains had very little or no smooth, O-antigen-containing LPS, and the other two contained less smooth LPS than our wild-type strain H103. In agreement with this data, five independent, rough, LPS O-antigen-deficient mutants of strain H103 were nontypable and serum sensitive. We suggest that the LPS defects described here represent a significant new property of many P. aeruginosa strains associated with cystic fibrosis.
Distributing a Private Key Generator in Ad Hoc Networks (2010)

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a wireless network that does not\nrely on a fixed infrastructure. These characteristics make algorithms\nthat route network traffic particularly vulnerable to\nattack. Mechanisms used to protect against such attacks often depend\non cryptographic keys.\n\nSince the nodes in a MANET have limited resources, designing\nmethods for cryptographic key management is particularly challenging.\nBecause the network infrastructure is unstable, assuming that\nauthorities used in key management are implemented using any single\nnode is not realistic. Threshold cryptography can be used to\ndistribute an authority, such that it is implemented by multiple\nnodes. This makes the authority more robust against network failures\nand harder to compromise.\n\nHowever, the bandwidth limitations in a MANET result in that public\nkey distribution becomes very challenging. Identity-based cryptography\n(IBC), where any identity may serve as a public key, makes public\nkeys and their certificates superfluous. The authority issuing private\nkeys corresponding to an identity is called a Private Key Generator (PKG).\n\nThis thesis considers the issue of distributing a PKG to the nodes\nin a MANET. It gives a description of a generic distributed PKG,\nincluding a definition of security. An example of a distributed PKG\nis also given. This distributed PKG is compatible with some of the\nmost prevalent IBC systems. It is shown that the security\nproperties of the base IBC systems are preserved when this\ndistributed PKG is used instead of the original one.\n\nThreshold cryptography and identity-based cryptography are found to\nresult in very efficient key management systems, compared to other\nmethods. It is however important to consider which security properties\na distributed authority has, especially with respect to any leakage of\ninformation on the authority's secret key. However, the main challenge\nin connection with key management in a MANET is to authenticate\nnodes without requiring preestablished trust.
Thrombin enhances the production of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 in cultured rat glomerular epithelial cells (2008)

We demonstrated a novel role of thrombin: it stimulates the production of MCP-1 and MIP-2 by GECs. It is clinically important that the inhibition of these chemokines leads to the improvement of crescentic glomerulonephritis. Anti-thrombin drugs and prednisolone may be useful in treating crescentic glomerulonephritis.
Traffic accidents in rural area and assistance system for traffic safety (2001)

An investigation based on human visual search functions was conducted into the causative factors of traffic accidents at clear intersections in rural areas. The results indicated that it is difficult for drivers to detect a vehicle traveling on a collision course because the vehicle remains in the same position in the driver's visual field. Two systems are introduced to assist drivers' visual searches. One system uses an image processing technique, and the other utilizes DGPS (differential global positioning system) and IVC (inter-vehicle communications) techniques. This paper presents the development of the assistance system.
Efficient speaker verification system using speaker model clustering for T and Z normalizations (2008)

In speaker verification (SV) systems based on Gaussian mixture model-universal background model (GMM-UBM), normalization is an important component in the decision stage. Many normalization methods including the T- and Z-norms, have been proposed and investigated and these have contributed to state-of-the-art SV systems which have extremely low equal-error rates (EERs). In this paper, we consider application of both T- and Z-norms to a carefully selected subset of speakers using a data driven approach which can significantly reduce computation resulting in faster SV decisions and lower EER. Unfortunately, selection of the subset is critical and must be representative of the entire speaker model space otherwise error rates will increase. In order to properly select the subset of speakers for the normalizations, we propose a novel method which first clusters the speaker models using the K-means algorithm and the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence and then selects a set of speakers within the cluster. We evaluate the approach using both the TIMIT, NTIMIT and NIST-2002 corpora and compare against standard T- and Z-normalizations.

Equilibrium of the CO2-NH3-Urea-H2O System under High Temperature and Pressure. III. Effect of Water Added on Liquid-Vapor Equilibrium (1953)

Abstract (1) The effect of water added to ammonium carbamate on liquid-vapor equilibrium of the CO2-NH3-Urea-H2O system was investigated at 160 °C. and a loading density of ammonium carbamate 0.60 g./cc. and over the range of mole ratio from 0.20 to 1.00 of water added to ammonium carbamate. (2) The equilibrium pressure is approximately constant independent of the amount of water added within the range of the experimental conditions. Both the vapor- and the liquid-compositions become richer in carbon dioxide, and the equilibrium yield of urea decreases with an increase of the amount of water added. (3) The results of calculation of the compositions and densities of the liquid- and the vapor-phases in the equilibrium state when water ranging from 0.20 to 1.00 mole was added to one mole of ammonium carbamate have been shown.
