ECIS, an Energy Conservation and Interconnection Scheme between WSN and Internet Based on the 6LoWPAN (2013)

Wireless sensor network (WSN), which has broad application prospects, consists small nodes with sensing, computation and communications capabilities. Short for IPv6 over low power WPAN, 6LoWPAN is a kind of technology which makes IPv6 stack run on the Low PAN devices. In order to establish seamless connection of two heterogeneous networks, WSN and IPv6 network, this paper proposes an improved Energy Conservation and Interconnection Scheme (ECIS) based the analysis of current schemes. Detailed design of each functional component in the new scheme is proposed, and an expansion of SSCS module in NS2 802.15.4 simulator is examined. Comprehensive experiments on the simulation platform show that this newly proposed scheme is advantageous over existed similar attempts.
High-Resolution Mode-Spacing Measurement of the Blue-Violet Diode Laser Using Interference of Felds Created with Time Delays Greater than the Coherence Time (2007)

It is observed that the multi-mode cw blue-violet diode laser exhibits revival of interference when the interferometric path length difference is much greater than the coherence time of the laser and that the recurring interference peaks are separated by the same distance. We report that this unusual interference phenomenon can be used for high-resolution mode spacing measurement of the multi-mode cw blue-violet diode laser without using a high-resolution spectrometer.
Pathogenesis and treatment of bronchiolitis. (1993)

The pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical features, sequelae, and treatment of bronchiolitis are reviewed. Acute bronchiolitis is the most common severe lower-respiratory-tract infection of infancy. During epidemics, more than 80% of cases may be caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Although signs and symptoms may become severe, most infections are self-limited and improvement occurs within several days. Approximately 1-2% of infants less than one year of age require hospitalization. Generally, patients who develop severe, life-threatening RSV bronchiolitis are those with underlying cardiopulmonary disease, immunosuppression, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or a history of premature birth. In severe bronchiolitis, necrosis of the respiratory epithelium, excessive mucus production, and lymphocytic infiltration result in edema, dense plugs of debris, and subsequent bronchiolar obstruction. IgE-mediated reactions and release of inflammatory mediators may result in exacerbation of acute obstruction and may contribute to chronic obstructive pulmonary dysfunction, a common sequela of bronchiolitis. Patients hospitalized with bronchiolitis usually require supportive therapy and may require mechanical ventilation. Based on recent data, a trial of aerosolized beta 2 agonists is warranted in all patients. Systemic corticosteroids have not proved efficacious and have a limited role in the treatment of acute bronchiolitis. Inhaled corticosteroids may be useful in reducing the severity of chronic wheezing that may follow acute bronchiolitis. Ribavirin may be considered in patients with severe illness or in those at high risk for severe RSV disease. Intravenous immune globulin may have a role in the treatment of lower-respiratory-tract infections involving RSV; however, since few studies have been performed in humans, it is not possible to determine its place in the treatment of bronchiolitis. A trial of aerosolized beta 2 agonists is warranted in patients with bronchiolitis. Ribavirin may be considered in patients with severe disease or those at high risk for severe disease.

Inactivation of Measles Virus and Herpes Simplex Virus by Saikosaponin d (1992)

Saikosaponin d, isolated from the roots of Bulpleurum falcatum L. was investigated for both its inactivating effects on some viruses and its antiviral effects against the viruses in vitro. Saikosaponin d at a concentration of more than 5 microM had direct inactivating effects on both measles virus and herpes simplex virus after incubation of the viruses with the agent for more than 10 min at room temperature. In contrast, exposure of poliovirus to even 500 microM of saikosaponin d resulted in no loss of infectivity, while the same concentration of saikosaponin d induced complete loss of infectivity in both measles virus and herpes virus. In addition, saikosaponin d was ineffective against the replication of measles virus, herpes virus, and polio virus at a concentration of 0.1 microM, whereas saikosaponin d did not induce an inhibitory effect on the growth of Vero cells, when Vero cells were treated with saikosaponin d 24 h before the inoculation (pretreatment) and immediately or 24 h after the infection of the viruses (post-treatment).
A controllable predictive cross-diamond fast search algorithm for block matching motion estimation (2004)

Motion search is a key technique to motion compensated video coding standards (Jo Yew Tham et al., 1998). A novel controllable predictive cross-diamond fast search algorithm is proposed based on intense study of motion vector characteristics. The proposed algorithm takes advantage of "stop when good enough" spirit in PMVFAST (A. M. Tourapis et al., 2000) and multiple initial predictor candidates (MIPC) concept in APDZS, and new controllable search criteria are set down. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is better than other recently proposed algorithms in term of PSNR performance and required number of search points, and moreover, the proposed algorithm can control the search speed according to practical demands.

A Plant Manager Surveys The Forest of Industrial Safety (1962)

The manufacture of insulating building board, acoustical tile and allied products from sugar cane bagasse in Hilo, Hawaii may, to the initiate, seem a distant field from the subject of forestry. The experienced forester and wood-utilization specialist, however, will recognize immediately the corollary in wood pulp and wood-fiber products with sugar cane fiber (bagasse) products.
Recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rH GM-CSF) regulates f Met-Leu-Phe receptors on human neutrophils. (1988)

The regulation of mature human neutrophil function by recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rH GM-CSF) was studied. Preincubation of neutrophils with this CSF did not stimulate superoxide anion directly but enhanced the subsequent release of superoxide anion in response to stimulation with the bacterial product formylmethionylleucyl-phenylalanine (f Met-Leu-Phe). Enhanced superoxide anion production was evident by 5 min and reached a plateau at 30 min. In contrast, neutrophils preincubated with rH GM-CSF exhibited reduced chemotaxis under agarose in response to a gradient of f Met-Leu-Phe. The inhibition of neutrophil migration was dependent on the dose of rH GM-CSF and exhibited a time-course similar to the effect on superoxide production. Binding studies of f Met-Leu-[3H]Phe to purified human neutrophils revealed heterogeneous binding to unstimulated cells. Two affinity components were identified. The high-affinity component consisted of approximately 2000 sites/cell and had an average Kd of 4 +/- 2 nM (n = 6). The low-affinity component consisted of approximately 40,000 sites/cell and had an average Kd of 220 +/- 130 nM (n = 6). rH GM-CSF caused conversion to a linear Scatchard plot showing no significant change in total binding sites but a single Kd of 30 +/- 10 nM. These data indicate that rH GM-CSF may influence neutrophil responses to f Met-Leu-Phe by regulating the affinity of f Met-Leu-Phe receptors.
A new technique of noise reduction for large aspect magnetoresistors (1994)

A large aspect (width to thickness ratio) magnetoresistive sensor operated with an alternating transverse biasing is characterized by high sensitivity and reduced temperature drift. However, it has little demagnetizing anisotropy to maintain a single domain state so noisy behavior often results. A constant longitudinal field can be used to reduce this noise but at the expense of reduced sensitivity. A new unipolar a.c. longitudinal biasing technique is presented which allows the full sensitivity to be achieved whilst significantly reducing magnetic noise and hysteresis.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Structured illumination fluorescence microscopy using Talbot self-imaging effect for high-throughput visualization (2018)

We report a novel extension to structured illumination (SI) microscopy that utilizes the Talbot self-imaging effect to generate a SI pattern on a sample with field-of-view (FOV) and resolution unconstrained by the numerical aperture (NA) of the microscope objective. This enables high-resolution SI pattern generation (up to the free-space propagation limit) across large FOVs, which in turn allows SI microscopy to be efficiently adapted for high-throughput imaging. We demonstrated this concept using a simple prototype microscope to image a large FOV (450 x 350 um) with a diffraction-limited fluorescence resolution limited by the microscope NA to 2 um. A custom-fabricated structured element, designed with periodic spatial features beyond the diffraction limit of the microscope imaging objective, was positioned to within an integer multiple of half the Talbot distance away from the sample. This generated a large FOV, sub-diffraction SI pattern at the sample plane via the Talbot self-imaging effect. Conventional SI super-resolution principles were then used to increase imaging resolution to 500 nm across the complete FOV, roughly a factor of 4 improvement over the microscope NA diffraction limit. This approach should also be applicable for high-throughput sub-diffraction resolution multimodal imaging.
Crystal Structure of the Xanthine Oxidase-Related Aldehyde Oxido-Reductase from <i>D. gigas</i> (1995)

The crystal structure of the aldehyde oxido-reductase (Mop) from the sulfate reducing anaerobic Gram-negative bacterium Desulfovibrio gigas has been determined at 2.25 A resolution by multiple isomorphous replacement and refined. The protein, a homodimer of 907 amino acid residues subunits, is a member of the xanthine oxidase family. The protein contains a molybdopterin cofactor (Mo-co) and two different [2Fe-2S] centers. It is folded into four domains of which the first two bind the iron sulfur centers and the last two are involved in Mo-co binding. Mo-co is a molybdenum molybdopterin cytosine dinucleotide. Molybdopterin forms a tricyclic system with the pterin bicycle annealed to a pyran ring. The molybdopterin dinucleotide is deeply buried in the protein. The cis-dithiolene group of the pyran ring binds the molybdenum, which is coordinated by three more (oxygen) ligands.
On variable ordering of binary decision diagrams for the application of multi-level logic synthesis (1991)

We have developed multi-level logic minimization programs using Binary Decision Diagram (BDD). Here we present variable ordering methods of BDD. The variable ordering algorithm for two-level circuits is based on cover patterns and selects most binate variables first, and the one for multi-level circutis is based on depth first traverse of circuits. In both cases, the acquired variable orderings are optimized by exchanging a variable with its neighbor in the ordering.
High impedance fault detection in distribution networks using support vector machines based on wavelet transform (2008)

In this paper a new pattern recognition based algorithm is presented to detect high impedance fault (HIF) in distribution networks. In this method, using wavelet transform (WT), the time-frequency based features of the current waveform up to 6.25 kHz are calculated. To extract the best feature set of the generated time frequency features, two methods including principle component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) are used and then support vector machines (SVM) is used as a classifier to distinguish the HIFs considering with and without broken conductor from other similar phenomena such as capacitor banks switching, no load transformer switching, load switching and harmonic loads considering induction motors, arc furnaces. The results show high accuracy of the proposed method in the detection task.
Peak Non-Gaussian Wind Effects for Database-Assisted Low-Rise Building Design (2002)

Current procedures for estimating the peaks of the stochastic response of tall buildings to wind are based on the assumption that the response is Gaussian. Those procedures are therefore inapplicable to low-rise buildings, in which time histories of wind-induced internal forces are generally non-Gaussian. In this paper, an automated procedure is developed for obtaining from such time histories sample statistics of internal force peaks for low-rise building design and codification. The procedure is designed for use in software for calculating internal force time series by the database-assisted design approach. A preliminary step in the development of the procedure is the identification of the appropriate marginal probability distribution of the time series using the probability plot correlation coefficient method. The result obtained is that the gamma distribution and a normal distribution are appropriate for estimating the peaks corresponding, respectively, to the longer and shorter tail of the time series’ histograms. The distribution of the peaks is then estimated by using the standard translation processes approach. It is found that the peak distribution can be represented by the Extreme Value Type I (Gumbel) distribution. Because estimates obtained from this approach are based on the entire information contained in the time series, they are more stable than estimates based on observed peaks. The procedure can be used to establish minimum acceptable requirements with respect to the duration and sampling rate of the time series of interest, so that the software used for database-assisted design will be both efficient and accurate.
Hardware Support for MPI in DIMMnet-2 Network Interface (2006)

In this paper, hardware support for MPI on the DIMMnet-2 network interface plugged into a DDR DIMM slot is presented. This hardware support realize effective eager protocol and effective derived datatype communication of MPI. As a preliminary evaluation, the evaluation results on the real prototype concerning the bandwidth of elements constituting MPI are shown. IPUSH, which is remote indirect writing, showed almost the same performance as RDMA, which is remote direct writing. IPUSH can reduce memory space required for a receiver buffer sharply. The memory space reduction effect of IPUSH on a system with more nodes is higher. Compared with a method that starts the burst vector loading many times, VLS, which performs a regular-interval vector loading, sharply accelerated access to the data arranged at regular intervals. The above-mentioned results indicate that the improvement in the speed of MPI by the proposed method is promising

Collocation of receivers and high-power broadcast transmitters (1988)

Receiving antennas and receivers can be collocated with the transmitting antennas and transmitters, if appropriate interference suppression is effected. Since the time-varying characteristics of the interference from adjacent transmitters may not be known a priori, and since the propagation path characteristics may change with time, interference needs to be suppressed by adaptive means. Operational characteristics of the adaptive control system in a shortwave broadcast station and expected degree of cancellation of the unwanted interference are discussed. Some recent tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the adaptive control in the relay station of Voice of America at Delano, California are outlined. Both laboratory and field tests show that adaptive interference-suppression systems can be designed and built for real-life environments expected in broadcast and relay stations.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Electronic Effects Steer the Mechanism of Asymmetric Hydrogenations of Unfunctionalized Aryl-Substituted Alkenes (2004)

Density functional theory (PBE and B3LYP) was used to study asymmetric hydrogenations of alkenes catalyzed by an iridium imidazolylidine oxazoline complex. The calculation predicts that the alkene preferentially coordinates to the site trans to the carbene. The coordinated alkene then reacts first with the H2 ligand, then with the hydride to form alkane. Finally, the alkane is released by equilibrating with extrinsic H2 and alkene. Enantioface selectivities for hydrogenations of trisubstituted alkenes seem to be driven primarily by steric interactions with the adamantyl part of the ligand; only the smallest substituents can adopt a site close to it. Application of this theoretical model leads to correct predictions regarding the experimentally observed sense and magnitude of the enantioselectivities.
Influence of application technique on microstructure and strength of acrylic restorations (1976)

An investigation was made of the influence of application techniques on the microstructure and properties of an acrylic tooth restorative. Mixtures of acrylic powder and monomer ("Sevriton Simplified") were applied by the brush technique of Nealon (J. Prosth. Dent., 2, 513, 1952) and by two bulk flow techniques. While similar porosities (about 4%) were observed, the brush technique resulted in a greater quantity of grains from the acrylic powder. Despite this, there was little difference in values of compression modulus, compressive yield stress, and diametral compressive strength. The mechanical strength of the materials studied was less than one-half that of high molecular weight poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Crack propagation studies established that the interface between the grains and matrix was not a source of weakness. However, as the matrix was crosslinked this could not be checked by solution methods of polymer characterization.
Developments in Methods of Sample Injection and Atomization in Atomic Spectrometry (1974)

VII. CONCULSION Although conventional flame emission and atomic absorption continue to serve as reliable and convenient methods of analysis at low concentrations, considerable research efforts, notably the development of non-flame atomizers, have extended atomic spectrometry into the range of trace and ultratrace analysis. Relatively few other analytical techniques are useful at concentration levels of 1 ppb or less, and none is as inexpensive, rapid, and readily available to most laboratories as atomic spectrometry.
Charge accumulation at a threading edge dislocation in gallium nitride (1999)

We have performed Monte Carlo calculations to determine the charge accumulation on threading edge dislocations in GaN as a function of the dislocation density and background dopant density. Four possible core structures have been examined, each of which produces defect levels in the gap and may therefore act as electron or hole traps. Our results indicate that charge accumulation, and the resulting electrostatic interactions, can change the relative stabilities of the different core structures. Structures having Ga and N vacancies at the dislocation core are predicted to be stable under nitrogen-rich and gallium-rich growth conditions, respectively. Due to dopant depletion at high dislocation density and the multitude of charge states, the line charge exhibits complex crossover behavior as the dopant and dislocation densities vary.
Distributed Intent: Android Framework for Networked Devices Operation (2013)

We propose a distributed framework extending Intent in Android systems to improve collaboration with embedded devices. In the proposed framework, Android applications collaborate with embedded devices by sending serialized Intent messages to networked embedded devices. The applications can collaborate with embedded devices without proxy hardware. We indicate the framework's effectiveness by evaluating its execution times and memory usage.
Frequency shifting using magnetoplasma medium: flash ionization (1993)

The main effect of switching a magnetoplasma medium is the splitting of the original wave (incident wave) into new waves whose frequencies are different from the frequency of the incident wave. The strength and the direction of the static magnetic field influence the shift ratio and the efficiency of the frequency-shifting operation. Frequency-shifting characteristics of the various waves generated in the switched magnetoplasma medium are examined.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Mechanism of Brefeldin A-Induced Growth Inhibition and Cell Death in Human Prostatic Carcinoma Cells. (1999)

The mechanism of growth inhibition and triggering of cell death by the antibiotic brefeldin A (BFA) was investigated in human prostatic cancer DU-145 cells. After cells were cultured with various concentrations of BFA, cell number and viability were determined at specified times. Compared with untreated cells, a drastic growth reduction (>80%) with approximately 50% cell death was observed in the cells cultured with BFA (30 ng/mL) for 72 h. Cell-cycle analysis using flow cytometry revealed that such growth inhibition was associated with approximately 85% reduction in the S-phase population, indicating the inhibition of the G(1)-S phase progression. Western blots further showed that cell-cycle-dependent kinases (cdk2 and cdk4), cyclin D(1), and p53 were all downregulated, whereas WAF1 (p21) was upregulated with BFA treatment. Possible induction of apoptosis by BFA was also assessed by TUNEL assay and by DNA analysis using agarose gel electrophoresis. The TUNEL assay demonstrated the positive staining of BFA-treated cells, and gel electrophoresis confirmed nucleosomal DNA ladder formation. Thus, these results suggest that growth inhibition of DU-145 cells by BFA is attributable mainly to a G1 cell-cycle arrest through the modulation of specific cell-cycle regulators. The accompanying cell death may follow a p53-independent apoptotic pathway.
