Adaptive quantization for low-density-parity-check decoders (2010)

For the implementation of low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoders, the associated error performance and the complexity are significantly affected by the number of quantization bits used. In this paper, we propose an adaptive quantization scheme, which uses different quantization schemes at different iteration numbers based on a fixed number of quantization bits. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive quantization can reduce the number of quantization bits without error performance degradation.
Changes in the expression of alpha-fodrin during embryonic development of Xenopus laevis. (1987)

Fodrin (nonerythroid spectrin) and its associated proteins have been previously implicated in the establishment of specialized membrane-cytoskeletal domains in differentiating cells. Using antiserum which is monospecific for the alpha-subunit of fodrin, we demonstrate that alpha-fodrin is present in oocytes and adult tissues of Xenopus laevis. Analyses of the de novo synthesis of alpha-fodrin during embryonic development reveal that alpha-fodrin is synthesized in oocytes, but not during early development. To investigate the level of control of alpha-fodrin expression, we isolated two cDNA clones for oocyte alpha-fodrin. The oocyte cDNA clones were identified as encoding portions of alpha-fodrin based on DNA sequence analysis and on the comparison of the predicted amino acid sequence of the cDNAs with the known sequence of human erythrocyte alpha-spectrin. The Xenopus alpha-fodrin cDNAs hybridize to a transcript of approximately 9 kb on RNA blots, and probably to a single gene type on genomic DNA blots. Both RNA blot analyses and S1 nuclease protection assays with the Xenopus alpha-fodrin cDNAs demonstrate that the observed decline in the de novo synthesis of alpha-fodrin polypeptides is controlled by a dramatic decrease in the abundance of alpha-fodrin transcripts after fertilization. In contrast, levels of actin transcripts do not decrease during this period. Inasmuch as steady-state levels of alpha-fodrin transcripts rise by the neurula stage of development, these results suggest that the synthesis of alpha-fodrin polypeptides during embryonic development of Xenopus is regulated, rather than constitutive, and that the primary level of control is the steady-state abundance of mRNA.
A New Network Anomaly Detection Method Based on Header Information Using Greedy Algorithm (2019)

Network anomaly detection is an important and rapidly growing area. In this paper, we propose a new network anomaly detection method based on the probability distributions of header information. The distances between the distributions of packet headers are calculated to reflect the main characteristics of the network. These are calculated using the Greedy algorithm which eliminates some requirements associated with Kullback-Leibler divergence such as having the same rank of the probability distributions. Then, Support Vector Machine classifier is used in the detection phase to reduce false alarm rates and to make the system adaptive for different networks. This algorithm is tested on the real data collected from Boğaziçi University network and MIT Darpa 2000 dataset.
Preferential incorporation of some 14C-labeled D-amino acids into tumor-bearing animals. (1978)

In order to acquire a fundamental knowledge for the development of better tumor-scanning agents, the in vivo incorporation pattern of three 14C-labeled D-amino acids, alanine, leucine, and tryptophan, into the tumor cells and organs of animals bearing Ehrlich mouse tumor, sarcoma-180, leukemia L-1210, or Yoshida sarcoma was investigated, and compared with that of the corresponding L-forms. The radioactivity of D-amino acids tested was most highly found in tumor cells and pancreas, and the activity in tumor cells was several times higher than that of L-forms. A large portion of the radioactivity of D-forms was found in trichloroacetic acid-soluble fraction of the cells, whereas that of L-forms was mostly in protein fraction, except L-alanine. Although the mechanisms whereby the radioactivity of D-amino acids was concentrated more than that of L-forms in the tumor cells have not yet been clearly elucidated, it was concluded that gamma-emitter-labeled D-amino acids themselves or their derivatives might be useful as tumor-detecting radiopharmaceuticals.

Effect of Farmyard Manure and Blended Fertilizer Rates on Yield and Yield Components of Hot Pepper (&lt;i&gt;Capsicum annuum&lt;/i&gt; L.) in East Wollega Zone, Ethiopia (2022)

Hot Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important spice and vegetable crop in Ethiopia. However, soil fertility depletion (nutrient deficiency) is one of the vital yield limiting factors in production. This experiment was conducted with the objective of determining the effects of combined use of different levels of Farmyard manure and blended fertilizer (NPSZnB) rate on yield and yield components of hot pepper and to identify the optimum combination of two fertilizers levels that give a higher yield of hot pepper. Mareko Fana variety was used for experiment. The treatments consisted of three levels of farmyard manure (0, 2, and 4 t/ha) and five levels of bended fertilizers (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg/ha) combined factorially and arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Analysis of the results showed that the interaction of farmyard manure and blended fertilizer significantly (p<0.05) affect most of the parameters studied. Application of 4t/ha farm yard manure and 100kg/ha blended fertilizers results showed that higher plant height 67.05cm, number of primary branches (7.82), number of leaf (331.72), number of fruit per plant (29.61), fruit length (10.49cm), total fresh fruit yield (5.60 t/ha), marketable yield (2.34 t/ha), total dry fruit yield (2.46 t/ha), biomass yield (4.96 t/ha) and harvest index (0.39) whereas lowest marketable yield (1.13 t/ha) and total dry fruit yield (1.25 t/ha), were recorded from unfertilized treatment. Therefore, the result of this study has showed that levels of farmyard manure and blended fertilizer in the study areas could be significantly enhances yield and yield components of hot pepper if 4 t/ha of Farmyard manure and 100 kg/ha of blended fertilizer are integrated and applied to hot pepper. Moreover, farmers in the study area should be encouraged to use integrated nutrient management system rather than inorganic fertilizer alone since such system helps not only supply nutrients but also improves physicochemical properties of the soil, thereby significantly enhances yield and yield component of hot pepper. Furthermore, as the study was conducted only at one location for a single season, it is also recommended to repeat the study across representative locations of the district both under rain fed and irrigated conditions.
Message Submission for Mail (2011)

This memo splits message submission from message relay, allowing each

UV‐excitable fluorescent poly(lactic acid) fibers (2016)

The UV‐excitable fluorescent poly(lactic acid) (PLA) fibers were spun by the traditional melt spinning process, and the effects of the fluorescent powder content ( w (FP)) and draw ratio (DR) on the structure and properties of the fluorescent PLA fibers were investigated, respectively. The results showed that the emission spectra of fluorescent PLA fibers were peaked at 530 nm after UV excitation, indicating the PLA fibers would emit green light under UV light. With the increasing of w (FP), the relative fluorescence intensity of PLA fibers increased gradually, whereas more and larger protrusions were formed on the fiber surface due to the agglomeration of fluorescent powder, both the crystallinity and mechanical properties of fluorescent PLA fiber showed the decreasing trend with the increase of w (FP). With the increase of DR, the tensile strength of fluorescent PLA fibers increased gradually, whereas the relative fluorescence intensity of PLA fibers increased firstly and then decreased, and the highest fluorescence intensity was obtained when the DR was 3.6. In addition, the confocal laser scanning microscope can be used well to simulate the 3D distribution of fluorescent powder among the PLA fibers. POLYM. ENG.

Two-stage opening switch for inductive energy storage systems (1998)

A two-stage opening switch comprising of a vacuum switch as the first stage and a high voltage fuse in series with a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) as the second stage is presented. The switch offers low resistance of 20 /spl mu//spl Omega/ during charge intervals of several hundred milliseconds, controlled time to opening, minimal fuse size, and a relatively fast opening of 0.25-0.7 ms. It serves as a closing switch as well. In a series of experiments, the current of 30-40 kA was commutated routinely from a 0.13 mH inductor into a resistive load at a voltage of 3000 V. Various quenching media were examined. The liquids were found to yield maximum inductively generated voltage and transfer efficiency. A strong correlation exists between the fuse performance and the pressure generated in the fuse. This dependence is used as a guideline in fuse design. It was found that a 2-3 ms fuse conduction time suffices for the recovery of the vacuum switch. A PSpice circuit simulation using an action-dependent fuse model is in good agreement with experimental results. A semi-empirical fuse model based on electron-ion recombination mechanism of the fuse resistance change is proposed. This model is integrated into PSpice circuit simulation. The calculations are in fairly good agreement with experimental results.
Test and Diagnosis of Automotive Embedded Processors via High-Speed Standard Interfaces (2017)

In state-of-the-art automotive controllers, functional tests are used to check their integrity in the field. Features dedicated to production test of integrated circuits such as scan chains are not applied in the embedded system. However, such test structures enable a more effective and diagnostic test, which improves the fault analysis in case of a system failure and even increases system reliability. To achieve this, an access to the integrated test logic is required. This paper describes a concept of a test access to embedded systems via high-speed standard interfaces. The extended test logic as well as an appropriate test routine is presented.
Human peripheral blood B lymphocyte subpopulations: functional and phenotypic analysis of surface IgD positive and negative subsets. (1986)

Highly purified human peripheral blood B cells stimulated with Cowan I Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and mitogen-activated T cell supernatants (T supt) generated large numbers of immunoglobulin (Ig)-secreting cells (ISC), whereas fewer ISC developed in cultures containing T supt in the absence of SA. To determine whether surface Ig isotype expression defined responsive B cell subsets, IgD+ and IgD- B cells were prepared with the fluorescence-activated cell sorter. Whereas both the IgD+ and IgD- B cells responded to SA + T supt, only the IgD- subset generated substantial numbers of ISC in response to T supt alone. Analysis of secreted Ig revealed that IgG and IgA were the predominant isotypes secreted by IgD- B cells in response to T supt or SA + T supt. By contrast, the IgD+ cells secreted predominantly IgM in response to SA + T supt but not to T supt alone. When responsiveness to pokeweed mitogen (PWM) was examined in the presence of supplemental T cells, the IgD- subset was found to be greatly enriched for responsive cells, and again, IgG and IgA were the predominant isotypes secreted, although these cells were also capable of secreting some IgM. The magnitude of the response induced by PWM from IgD- B cells was usually greater than that induced by SA + T supt. Although IgD+ B cells responded poorly to PWM, the differentiation of a small number of IgM-secreting cells was routinely stimulated by this polyclonal activator in the presence of T cells. The magnitude of the PWM response by IgD+ B cells was always greatly diminished compared with that stimulated by SA + T supt. Cell cycle analysis after acridine orange staining, cell volume measurement, and staining for expression of activation antigens (transferrin receptor and 4F2) indicated that the IgD- B cells were largely resting, but did contain a population of activated cells. Removal of activated 4F2+ cells from the IgD- subset diminished but did not abolish their capacity to generate ISC in response to SA + T supt or PWM in the presence of T cells. These results suggest that the IgD- population contains both an activated 4F2+ and a resting 4F2- subset. The data emphasize that multiple subpopulations of peripheral blood B cells contain precursors of ISC. Moreover, the responsiveness of the subsets to various stimuli and the Ig isotype subsequently secreted appear to be intrinsic features of each subset.

3D-Printable PP/SEBS Thermoplastic Elastomeric Blends: Preparation and Properties (2019)

Currently, material extrusion 3D printing (ME3DP) based on fused deposition modeling (FDM) is considered a highly adaptable and efficient additive manufacturing technique to develop components with complex geometries using computer-aided design. While the 3D printing process for a number of thermoplastic materials using FDM technology has been well demonstrated, there still exists a significant challenge to develop new polymeric materials compatible with ME3DP. The present work reports the development of ME3DP compatible thermoplastic elastomeric (TPE) materials from polypropylene (PP) and styrene-(ethylene-butylene)-styrene (SEBS) block copolymers using a straightforward blending approach, which enables the creation of tailorable materials. Properties of the 3D printed TPEs were compared with traditional injection molded samples. The tensile strength and Young's modulus of the 3D printed sample were lower than the injection molded samples. However, no significant differences could be found in the melt rheological properties at higher frequency ranges or in the dynamic mechanical behavior. The phase morphologies of the 3D printed and injection molded TPEs were correlated with their respective properties. Reinforcing carbon black was used to increase the mechanical performance of the 3D printed TPE, and the balancing of thermoplastic elastomeric and mechanical properties were achieved at a lower carbon black loading. The preferential location of carbon black in the blend phases was theoretically predicted from wetting parameters. This study was made in order to get an insight to the relationship between morphology and properties of the ME3DP compatible PP/SEBS blends.
A Comparative Analysis of the Three Versions of A Psalm Of Life (2010)

A Psalm of Life, the representative work of the famous American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, is taken as the first English poem translated into Chinese. It was in the year 1865 that Thomas Francis Wade first translated it into Chinese and after that various versions with distinctive features have been turning up. This thesis endeavors to analyze three typical versions from three aspects, namely, the “form beauty”, the “sound beauty” and the “sense beauty”, according to the “three-beauty” principle of poem translation proposed by Professor Xu Yuanchong. The basic principles and methods of poem translation are concluded on the basis of the comparative analysis and the “Dynamic Equivalence” theory proposed by Eugene A. Nida. Key Words: poem translation, spiritual resemblance, formal resemblance, “three-beauty” principle, dynamic equivalence Resume: Le Psaume de la vie, oeuvre reputee du poete americain Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, est considere comme le premier poeme anglais traduit en chinois. Depuis que Thomas Francis Wade l’a traduit la premiere fois en chinois en 1865, de nouvelles versions ne cessent d’apparaitre dont chacune a son originalite. L’article present, en vertu du principe de « trois beautes » dans la traduction du poeme preconise par le professeur Xu Yuanchong, entreprent une analyse comparative de ses trois versions les plus representatives sur les plans de « beaute de forme », « beaute de son» et « beaute de signification ».A partir du resultlat d’analyse, se referant a la theorie de l’ « equivalence dynamique » du theoricien de traduction tres connu Eugene A. Nida, l’auteur propose les principes fondamentaux de la traduction de la poesie. Mots-Cles: traduction de la poesie, similitude d’esprit, similitude de forme

Bioavailability of Fluoride Added to Baby Formula and Milk (1982)

The aim of the present study was to examine the bioavailability of fluoride (F) from some infant food products containing considerable amounts of F. Three different solutions containing 5 mg F were administered on three separate occasions to 4 young volunteers. They consisted of 500 ml of a 10 ppm F water solution, 500 ml milk containing 10 ppm F and 500 ml of a baby formula prepared with a 10 ppm F solution. Plasma F and urinary F levels were subsequently monitored for 15 h. Pharmacokinetic analysis of the data was performed and F bioavailability calculated. The results show that 72% of all F in the milk- and 65% of all F in the water-diluted baby formula were absorbed. Results from in vitro recovery studies demonstrated a 100% F recovery from milk and a 90% F recovery from baby formula. An explanation for the contradictory findings in the in vivo experiments is discussed.
Virtual Reality: The Game Changer for Residential Real Estate Staging through Increased Presence (2017)

This study proposes a series of 3 experiments to explore how different types of staging, pictures versus virtual reality, impacts potential buyers’ likelihood of wanting to visit a home. Moreover, this study seeks to address how the type of market, hot versus cold, and type of home, luxury versus non-luxury, connects with staging and its impact on wanting to visit a home. In Experiment 1, participants will view 10 total homes, 5 randomly selected with staged pictures first followed by the remaining 5 with virtual reality, either within the hot or cold market. If VR increases presence, then people should be more likely to want to visit a house especially in a hot market given that there is a high demand for a constrained supply. Experiment 2 addressed the contrast effect limitation given that virtual reality staging always came after the pictures of staging within Experiment 1. Experiment 2 should replicate the results of Experiment 1 by removing the contrast effect. Finally, Experiment 3 will explore the impact of type of home, luxury versus non-luxury, and type of staging on wanting to visit a home. Researchers are expected to find that participants who viewed properties in virtual reality are more likely to want to visit the home compared to those that saw staged images because of increased presence, which will make them feel more connected to the home compared to viewing staged pictures. Ultimately, this study is important because it aims to identify the utility of VR in home sales.
Treatment of PTLD with Rituximab or Chemotherapy (2006)

Information regarding treatment of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) beyond reduction in immunosuppression (RI) is limited. We retrospectively evaluated patients receiving rituximab and/or chemotherapy for PTLD for response, time to treatment failure (TTF) and overall survival (OS). Thirty-five patients met inclusion criteria. Twenty-two underwent rituximab treatment, with overall response rate (ORR) 68%. Median TTF was not reached at 19 months and estimated OS was 31 months. In univariable analysis, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positivity predicted response and TTF. LDH elevation predicted shorter OS. No patient died of rituximab toxicity and all patients who progressed underwent further treatment with chemotherapy. Twenty-three patients received chemotherapy. ORR was 74%, median TTF was 10.5 months and estimated OS was 42 months. Prognostic factors for response included stage, LDH and allograft involvement by tumor. These factors and lack of complete response (CR) predicted poor survival. Twenty-six percent of the patients receiving chemotherapy died of toxicity. Rituximab and chemotherapy are effective in patients with PTLD who fail or do not tolerate RI. While rituximab is well tolerated, toxicity of chemotherapy is marked. PTLD patients requiring therapy beyond RI should be considered for rituximab, especially with EBV-positive disease. Chemotherapy should be reserved for patients who fail rituximab, have EBV-negative tumors or need a rapid response.
