Resolving data duplication, inaccuracy and inconsistency issues using Master Data Management (2017)

The management of scattered datasets over multiple data sources has led to data quality issues in an organization. Master Data Management (MDM) has been used to resolve this issue by providing “a single reference of truth” to reduce data redundancy in an organization. To the best of our knowledge, there is lack of study reviewing the progress of MDM research. Therefore, this paper intends to fill in the gap by conducting a systematic literature review to summarize the progress of MDM research domain. We also synthesize the data quality issues on multiple data sources management and how MDM tends to resolve them. We strategized our literature methods through relevant keywords searching from nine (9) databases including journals, proceedings, books, book chapters and industry research. The strategy has shown seven hundred and seventy-seven (777) articles were found during the initial searching stage and three hundred and forty-seven (347) relevant articles were filtered out for the analysis. The review shows that currently, MDM research has received a slope of enlightenment hence it still relevant to be explored. MDM is not just about a technology, it is an approach through a combination of processes, data governance, and technical implementation to resolve data quality issues on multiple data sources management such as duplication, inaccuracy and inconsistency of information.

Fixed-dose combination therapy with trandolapril and verapamil SR is effective in primary hypertension (1997)

We assessed the efficacy of monotherapy with trandolapril, an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, and of verapamil slow-release (SR), a calcium antagonist, each in a range of three doses as monotherapy, and in the nine possible combinations of therapy in patients with stage I to III diastolic hypertension. After 4 weeks of single-blind placebo, 746 patients in 39 study centers were randomized to one of the 16 double-blind treatments for 6 weeks (placebo; verapamil SR monotherapy 120, 180, or 240 mg; trandolapril monotherapy 0.5, 2, or 8 mg; and trandolapril/verapamil SR combinations 0.5/120, 0.5/180, 0.5/240, 2/120, 2/180, 2/240, 8/120, 8/180, or 8/240 mg. Both mono- and combination therapies achieved the primary efficacy parameters: lowered supine diastolic blood pressure (at trough) more than placebo, P < .01 (except 0.5 mg trandolapril, 0.5/180 and 2/120 combinations, P < .05, and the 120 mg verapamil SR, P = NS). The therapies yielded a trough to peak ratio of >0.52 and had higher percentages of responders as compared with placebo (P < .01, < .05). Supine systolic blood pressures were lowered more by combination therapy than the respective monotherapies, P < .05, P < .01, except the 8/120 combination. Combination therapy was more effective than monotherapy for sitting diastolic blood pressure, P < .05. The percentage of patients with adverse reactions were similar for mono- and combination therapy. Trandolapril had a greater "apparent" incremental effect on the systolic blood pressure reductions than verapamil SR.
Termination of DNA replication forks: “Breaking up is hard to do” (2015)

To ensure duplication of the entire genome, eukaryotic DNA replication initiates from thousands of replication origins. The replication forks move through the chromatin until they encounter forks from neighboring origins. During replication fork termination forks converge, the replisomes disassemble and topoisomerase II resolves the daughter DNA molecules. If not resolved efficiently, terminating forks result in genomic instability through the formation of pathogenic structures. Our recent findings shed light onto the mechanism of replisome disassembly upon replication fork termination. We have shown that termination-specific polyubiquitylation of the replicative helicase component - Mcm7, leads to dissolution of the active helicase in a process dependent on the p97/VCP/Cdc48 segregase. The inhibition of terminating helicase disassembly resulted in a replication termination defect. In this extended view we present hypothetical models of replication fork termination and discuss remaining and emerging questions in the DNA replication termination field.

The <i>celA</i> Gene, Encoding a Glycosyl Hydrolase Family 3 β-Glucosidase in <i>Azospirillum irakense,</i> Is Required for Optimal Growth on Cellobiosides (2001)

The CelA beta-glucosidase of Azospirillum irakense, belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 3 (GHF3), preferentially hydrolyzes cellobiose and releases glucose units from the C(3), C(4), and C(5) oligosaccharides. The growth of a DeltacelA mutant on these cellobiosides was affected. In A. irakense, the GHF3 beta-glucosidases appear to be functional alternatives for the GHF1 beta-glucosidases in the assimilation of beta-glucosides by other bacteria.
Programmable Telecoil Responses (1994)

Ten experienced hearing aid users were tested to evaluate an assistive listening device inductively coupled to three different hearing aids-their own BTE hearing aid and associated telecoil, a programmable hearing aid with the telecoil programmed using the manufacturer's algorithm, and the same programmable hearing aid with the telecoil programmed so that the real-ear gain obtained with the hearing aid-assistive listening device combination matched a prescriptive target. Results indicated that modifying the telecoil response to match a prescriptive target can result in enhanced speech understanding and higher preference rankings.
Treatment of bullous pemphigoid with a leukotriene receptor antagonist (2003)

The effects of leukotriene receptor antagonists are complementary to those of inhaled corticosteroids, and they can be tapered in patients with bronchial asthma. We describe a case of blister healing with bullous pemphigoid by the use of a leukotriene receptor antagonst. A beneficial role in reducing the dosage of glucocorticoid? A 59-year-old woman with bronchial asthma was admitted to the University Hospital for systemic blisters. Blister formation was remarkable, particularly in the oral cavity. A diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid was made after skin biopsy, and the patient was given predonisolone at 90 mg/day. Once remission was obtained, predonisolone was gradually tapered to 12.5 mg/day. However, recurrence of blisters and asthma excerbation occurred at this dose, at which point the dosage of predonisolone was raised to 15 mg/day. Although complete remission of bullous pemphigoid was obtained on predonisolone at 15 mg/day, her asthma worsened. She received oral leukotriene receptor antagonst pranlukast 450 mg/day for asthma treatment. Given that her asthma was well controlled and predonisolone was reduced to 7.5 mg/day without further recurrence of blisters, it was suggested that pranlukast might have an inhibitory effect on blister formation. To investigate the effect of pranlukast on bullous pemphigoid, the administration of pranlukast was discontinued from the morning, while the patient continued to receive predonisolone at 7.5 mg/day. Blister formation with bleeding occurred again in the evening of the same day in the oral cavity, and readministration of pranlukast was found to completely suppress it. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the efficacy of leukotriene receptor antagonists for treatment of bullous pemphigoid. Bullous pemphigoid is a systemic disease affecting the subepidermis of the skin and mucosa, and autoimmune reaction is believed to lead to blister formation in the basal layer (1). Although glucocorticoids are the most effective agents for controlling the disease, a variety of adverse effects make its long-term use difficult. Immunosuppressive drugs used for treatment of bullous pemphigoid also have adverse effects. Peptide-leukotrienes are thought to be important mediators involved in the etiology of asthma. However, peptide-leukotrienes are also reported to be involved in blister formation, based on their ability to increase plasma leakage from vessels (2) and the significant levels of leukotriene C4 observed in the blister fluids of pemphigoid patients (3). Findings in this patient suggest that leukotriene receptor antagonists may have a beneficial role in reducing the dosage of glucocorticoid to control bullous pemphigoid.

The use of white noise is recommended as a method for masking environmental noises, improving sleep, and maintaining sleep in the coronary care unit.
Bayesian class-based language models (2011)

By capturing the intuition of "similar words appear in similar context", the Class-based Language Model (CLM) has found success from research projects to business products. How ever, most CLMs make a simplifying assumption that one word belongs to one class, which models poorly the fact that many words have multiple senses thus should belong to multiple classes. We propose a Bayesian formulation of the CLM, where a many-to-many mapping between words and classes, i.e., soft clustering, are naturally supported. A simple collapsed Gibbs sampler is provided to carry out the inference. Not only did we achieve a 22% relative reduction in perplexity on a Wall Street Journal corpus, but also reduced the word error rate of a state-of-the-art conversational telephony speech recognizer by 6% relative.
试试老一套的办法——费城的费特勒学校进行“恢复”试验 (1985)

Defects in Mitochondrial Dynamics and Metabolomic Signatures of Evolving Energetic Stress in Mouse Models of Familial Alzheimer's Disease (2012)

Mutation-specific alterations in mitochondrial dynamics, morphology and function in FAD mice occurred prior to the onset of memory and neurological phenotype and before the formation of amyloid deposits. Metabolomic signatures of mitochondrial stress and altered energy metabolism indicated alterations in nucleotide, Krebs cycle, energy transfer, carbohydrate, neurotransmitter, and amino acid metabolic pathways. Mitochondrial dysfunction, therefore, is an underlying event in AD progression, and FAD mouse models provide valuable tools to study early molecular mechanisms implicated in AD.
The network structure of corneal fibroblasts in the rat as revealed by scanning electron microscopy. (1988)

The overall morphology of corneal fibroblasts in the rat was examined by scanning electron microscopy after removal of stromal connective tissue elements by tryptic digestion and HCl hydrolysis. Fibroblasts thus exposed were flattened and stellate cells with a diameter of about 10 micron and had a number of ramified cytoplasmic processes. The processes of neighboring fibroblasts contacted with each other to form an extensive and continuous network structure parallel to the plane of collagenous lamellae. The cellular network appears to constitute an integrated system which may be involved in the synchronized regulation of the metabolic and physiologic homeostasis for the maintenance of corneal transparency.
Fecal Excretion of Calprotectin in Colorectal Cancer Relationship to Tumor Characteristics (2001)

The majority of patients with colorectal cancer have increased fecal concentration of calprotectin. One single fecal spot seems to be sufficient for determination of the calprotectin level. Measurement of fecal calprotectin may possibly become of value as a marker for colorectal cancer, although calprotectin, similar to fecal occult blood (FOB) tests, is a non-specific test for colorectal pathology, also being elevated in inflammatory bowel diseases. Further investigation of its specificity is therefore needed.
Active control of asymmetric vortex effects (1980)

Abstract : Active control of asymmetric vortex effects on a pointed, slender body at high angles of attack has been achieved by rotating portions of the body about the axis. The lee side asymmetric vortex patterns and their associated yaw-plane forces and moments have been varied in cyclic, repeatable fashion at rates up to 100 cycles per second. The variations occurred to rapidly that the average yaw-plane quantities were brought to small, steady values, or nulled out. The effect was obtained by rotating the nose, the nosetip and a band of the body surface just aft of the nose. (Author)
The Hybrid HVDC Breaker An innovation breakthrough enabling reliable HVDC grids (2012)

SUMMARY Existing mechanical HVDC breakers are capable of interrupting HVDC currents within several tens of milliseconds, but this is too slow to fulfill the requirements of a reliable HVDC grid. HVDC breakers based on semiconductors can easily overcome the limitations of operating speed, but generate large transfer losses, typically in the range of 30 percent of the losses of a voltage source converter station. To overcome these obstacles, ABB has developed a hybrid HVDC breaker. The hybrid design has negligible conduction losses, while preserving ultra-fast current interruption capability. This paper will present a detailed description of the hybrid HVDC breaker, its design principles and test results. The modular design of the hybrid breaker for HVDC applications is described. Furthermore, the application of the hybrid breaker associated with the design of a HVDC switchyard will be discussed.
A modified gradient descent bit flipping decoding scheme for LDPC codes (2017)

It is known that the Gradient descent bit flipping (GDBF) algorithm is an effective hard-decision decoding algorithm for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. However, trapping in a local maximum limits its error-rate performance. This paper presents a modified GDBF scheme that can mitigate the trapping problem and hence can improve the error-rate performance. Compared to the conventional GDBF algorithm, the proposed method is able to improve the decoding performance of 0.3dB for an (18582, 16626) code. The (18582, 16626) LDPC decoder integrates 636k logic gates and achieves a throughput of 12.4 Gbps at a clock frequency of 200 MHz in a 90nm process.
Compact Broadband Microstrip Crossover With Isolation Improvement and Phase Compensation (2014)

In this letter, we present a broadband microstrip crossover structure in two different configurations. Both structures have compact size, i.e., less than 10 mm × 10 mm. Across the measured band from dc to 10 GHz, the structure 1 has less than 1 dB insertion loss, more than 20 dB return loss and at least 23.3 dB isolation. Within the same band, the structure 2 has less than 1 dB insertion loss, more than 22 dB return loss and at least 18.9 dB isolation. Phase difference between two paths in both structures is kept in less than 5 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">°</sup> .
The speech synthesis system for an unlimited Japanese vocabulary (2005)

This paper describes the speech synthesis system for an unlimited Japanese word. In the system, we adopt a new time domain synthesis method using symmetric waveforms for improvement of synthetic speech quality; featuring that the pitch is well controlled, the synthetic speech is very clear, and the synthetic algorithm is simple. In addition, owing to the information-compression processing such as waveform symmetrizing and ADPCM encoding, the required speech data capacity is relatively low, namely, 60k bytes. This is fully in practical range. As the result of performing the evaluation test on the synthetic speech with the system, the following data are obtained: The sound articulation score of CV-syllables: 77% The intelligibility score of words: 99.5%
High CD46 Receptor Density Determines Preferential Killing of Tumor Cells by Oncolytic Measles Virus (2004)

Live attenuated Edmonston B strain of measles virus (MV-Edm) is a potent and specific oncolytic agent, but the mechanism underlying its tumor selectivity is unknown. The virus causes cytopathic effects (CPEs) of extensive syncytial formation in tumor cells but minimal damage or cell killing in normal cells. The CPE is dependent on expression of viral proteins and the presence of CD46, the major cellular receptor of MV-Edm. Using a virally encoded soluble marker peptide to provide a quantitative readout of the level of viral gene expression, we determined that tumor cells and normal cells expressed comparable levels of viral proteins. CD46 mediates virus attachment, entry, and virus-induced cell-to-cell fusion. Using engineered cells expressing a range of CD46 densities, we determined that whereas virus entry increased progressively with CD46 density, cell fusion was minimal at low receptor densities but increased dramatically above a threshold density of CD46 receptors. It is well established that tumor cells express abundant CD46 receptors on their surfaces compared with their normal counterparts. Thus, at low CD46 densities typical of normal cells, infection occurs, but intercellular fusion is negligible. At higher densities typical of tumor cells, infection leads to extensive cell fusion. Intercellular fusion also results in enhancement of viral gene expression through recruitment of neighboring uninfected cells into the syncytium, further amplifying the CPE. Discrimination between high and low CD46 receptor density provides a compelling basis for the oncolytic specificity of MV-Edm and establishes MV-Edm as a promising CD46-targeted cancer therapeutic agent.
Stability of Oxidases Immobilized in Silica Gels (1998)

The gain or loss of stability of three flavoprotein oxidases, glucose oxidase, lactate oxidase, and glycolate oxidase, upon immobilization in a hydrated silica gel by a sol−gel process was quantified. Glucose oxidase (isoelectric point, IP, pH 3.8) retained most or all of its initial activity, while lactate oxidase and glycolate lost most of theirs. The half-life of glucose oxidase at 63 °C increased upon immobilization 200-fold; the half-lives of lactate oxidase and of glycolate oxidase were not extended beyond those of the water-dissolved enzymes. After lactate oxidase (IP pH 4.6) was electrostatically complexed with the weak base poly(N-vinylimidazole) prior to its immobilization, most of its activity was retained and its half-life at 63° C increased 150-fold. Lactate oxidase was also stabilized when electrostatically complexed with the stronger base poly(ethyleneimine) prior to immobilization. Glycolate oxidase (IP pH 9.6) was not stabilized by poly(N-vinylimidazole) but was stabilized by poly(ethyleneimine) complexing prior to immobilization. The complexed enzyme retained its initial activity upon immobilization, and its half-life at 60 °C also increased 100-fold. The results show that encaging an oxidase in a silica gel can lead either to gain in stability or to loss of activity and that electrostatic complexing is required for stabilization by encapsulation of some, but not all, flavoprotein oxidases.
A cotton ascorbate peroxidase is involved in hydrogen peroxide homeostasis during fibre cell development (2007)

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in multiple physiological processes such as cellular signalling and stress responses, whereas, the hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) scavenging enzyme ascorbate peroxidase (APX) participates in the regulation of intracellular ROS levels. Here, a cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cytosolic APX1 (GhAPX1) was identified to be highly accumulated during cotton fibre elongation by proteomic analysis. GhAPX1 cDNA contained an open reading frame of 753-bp encoding a protein of 250 amino acid residues. When GhAPX1 was expressed in Escherichia coli, the purified GhAPX1 was a dimer consisting of two identical subunits with a molecular mass of 28 kDa. GhAPX1 showed the highest substrate specificity for ascorbate. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses showed that GhAPX1 was highly expressed in wild-type 5-d postanthesis fibres with much lower transcript levels in the fuzzless-lintless mutant ovules. Treating in vitro cultured wild-type cotton ovules with exogenous H(2)O(2) or ethylene induced the expression of GhAPX1 and hence increased total APX activity proportionally, followed by extended fibre cell elongation. These data suggest that GhAPX1 expression is upregulated in response to an increase in cellular H(2)O(2) and ethylene. GhAPX1 encodes a functional enzyme that is involved in hydrogen peroxide homeostasis during cotton fibre development.
