Exploration of Functionalized CdTe Nanoparticles for Latent Fingerprint Detection (2008)

The potential of using water-soluble photoluminescent nanoparticles of different sizes for latent fingerprint detection has been explored. In this pilot study, green (582nm) and red (755 nm) CdTe nanocrystals coated with thioglycolic acid were used. Latent fingerprints on aluminum and glass surfaces were successfully labeled with these nanoparticles for time periods ranging from 30 min to 24 h. The labeling is probably due to the amidation reaction between the surface carboxylic groups of the nanoparticles with the amine groups of the biomaterials present in the fingerprint residues. The 582nm emitting nanoparticles appeared to better label the fingerprint ridges than did the 755 nm emitting ones for both surfaces. However, the 755 nm emitting nanoparticles were able to target the sweat pores within the ridges of the fingerprints. Other than high quantum yield and photostability, the tunable emission wavelength, the narrow bandwidth, the customizable surface characteristics, and the relatively long fluorescence decay lifetime of these nanoparticles are useful and necessary features for the future development of ultra-sensitive, target-specific, background suppressed latent fingerprint detection for forensic applications.
Tongue and hyoid movements in feeding and speech (2002)

Feeding and speech depend on integrated movements of the jaws, tongue surface and tongue base–hyoid complex. Phylogenetically and ontogenetically, the movements of feeding antedate those required for speech. The hypothesis that speech movements would fall within the range used in feeding was tested. Lateral projection videofluorographic records were made for 10 subjects eating 8 g samples of three foods and reading a standard diagnostic speech text (Grandfather Passage). Radiopaque markers were glued to the upper and lower canines and tongue. Marker positions (Cartesian coordinates) for each video frame were plotted relative to the upper occlusal plane ( X axis) and to a perpendicular dropped from that plane at the upper canine ( Y axis). A plot of all coordinates per record gives the spatial domain (in the sagittal plane) within which a given marker moved. Tongue marker domains showed an extraordinary range of movement in feeding with extensive palatal contact. In speech, there was little palatal contact, and markers moved within a smaller sagittal domain. Although speech domains fell within the range for feeding, their centroids were highly statistically different, P < 0·001 (Hald test for differences in bivariate populations). In contrast, the hyoid domain for speech was anterior to that used in feeding and had almost no overlap with it ( P < 0·0001). Our hypothesis is confirmed for the tongue surface markers but not for the hyoid. We conclude that patterns of hyoid movement in speech are a specific adaptation for speech .

Attacking the Madry Defense Model with $L_1$-based Adversarial Examples (2017)

The Madry Lab recently hosted a competition designed to test the robustness of their adversarially trained MNIST model. Attacks were constrained to perturb each pixel of the input image by a scaled maximal $L_\infty$ distortion $ε$ = 0.3. This discourages the use of attacks which are not optimized on the $L_\infty$ distortion metric. Our experimental results demonstrate that by relaxing the $L_\infty$ constraint of the competition, the elastic-net attack to deep neural networks (EAD) can generate transferable adversarial examples which, despite their high average $L_\infty$ distortion, have minimal visual distortion. These results call into question the use of $L_\infty$ as a sole measure for visual distortion, and further demonstrate the power of EAD at generating robust adversarial examples.
Determination of the International Sensitivity Index of a New Near-Patient Testing Device to Monitor Oral Anticoagulant Therapy (1997)

Summary A key issue for the reliable use of new devices for the laboratory control of oral anticoagulant therapy with the INR is their conformity to the calibration model. In the past, their adequacy has mostly been assessed empirically without reference to the calibration model and the use of International Reference Preparations (IRP) for thromboplastin. In this study we reviewed the requirements to be fulfilled and applied them to the calibration of a new near-patient testing device (TAS, Cardiovascular Diagnostics) which uses thromboplastin-containing test cards for determination of the INR. On each of 10 working days citrat- ed whole blood and plasma samples were obtained from 2 healthy subjects and 6 patients on oral anticoagulants. PT testing on whole blood and plasma was done with the TAS and parallel testing for plasma by the manual technique with the IRP CRM 149S. Conformity to the calibration model was judged satisfactory if the following requirements were met: (i) there was a linear relationship between paired log-PTs (TAS vs CRM 149S); (ii) the regression line drawn through patients data points, passed through those of normals; (iii) the precision of the calibration expressed as the CV of the slope was <3%. A good linear relationship was observed for calibration plots for plasma and whole blood (r = 0.98). Regression lines drawn through patients data points, passed through those of normals. The CVs of the slope were in both cases 2.2% and the ISIs were 0.965 and 1.000 for whole blood and plasma. In conclusion, our study shows that near-patient testing devices can be considered reliable tools to measure INR in patients on oral anticoagulants and provides guidelines for their evaluation.
Finite element analysis of the spondylolysis in lumbar spine. (2006)

Spondylolysis is a fracture of the bone lamina in the pars interarticularis and has a high risk of developing spondylolisthesis, as well as traction on the spinal cord and nerve root, leading to spinal disorders or low back pain when the lumbar spine is subjected to high external forces. Previous studies mostly investigated the mechanical changes of the endplate in spondylolysis. However, little attention has been focused on the entire structural changes that occur in spondylolysis. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical changes in posterior ligaments, disc, endplate, and pars interarticularis between the intact lumbar spine and spondylolysis. A total of three finite element models, namely the intact L2-L4 lumbar spine, lumbar spine with unilateral pars defect and with bilateral pars defect were established using a software ANSYS 6.0. A loading of 10 N.m in flexion, extension, left torsion, right torsion, left lateral bending, and right lateral bending respectively were imposed on the superior surface of the L2 body. The bottom of the L4 vertebral body was completely constrained. The finite element models estimated that the lumbar spine with a unilateral pars defect was able to maintain spinal stability as the intact lumbar spine, but the contralateral pars experienced greater stress. For the lumbar spine with a bilateral pars defect, the rotation angle, the vertebral body displacement, the disc stress, and the endplate stress, was increased more when compared to the intact lumbar spine under extension or torsion.
Dynamic Composition of Semantically Annotated Web Services through QoS-Aware HTN Planning Algorithms (2009)

This paper presents a dynamic composer for Web services. The services are enriched with semantic descriptions in OWL-S, based on which the composer automatically creates a combination of services reaching a specified goal. As an example, a trip planning use case is chosen where the goal ranges from booking of a single flight to planning of an entire trip including flight, hotel, transport, etc. The composition is achieved using local and global algorithms satisfying specific quality of service (QoS) constraints and requirements such as the execution time or cost of the invoked Web services. At the same time a more extended HTN planning algorithm is discussed, matching not only service outputs to inputs but also satisfying service preconditions through effects. In addition to the automatic composition, the paper also proposes a recovery mechanism in case of unavailable services. When executing the composition of flight services, unavailable services are dynamically replaced by equivalent services or a new composition achieving the needed result. The presented platform and planning algorithms are put through extensive performance and scalability tests for typical trip booking scenarios, in which basic services are composed to a complex trip planning service.
ChemInform Abstract: Electrochemical and Spectroscopic Analyses of the Thermodynamics of the Reversible Dimerization of Cyanine Radical Dications. (1988)

Abstract The results of thermodynamic and kinetic characterization of the reversible dimerization of radical dications formed by chemical (ferric chloride in MeOH/H2O) and/or electrochemical oxidation of a range of 15 thia‐ and quinodicarbocyanines (I)‐(VI) are given.
Oxytocin during labor after previous cesarean section: results of a multicenter study. (1987)

The use of oxytocin for labor induction or augmentation in patients with previous cesarean delivery is controversial. This paper presents a series of 1776 patients allowed to labor after a previous cesarean section, of whom 485 (27%) were treated with oxytocin. When the patients who received oxytocin were compared with those who did not, no significant differences were found with respect to uterine rupture, maternal morbidity, fetal morbidity, or fetal mortality. We conclude that the judicious use of oxytocin is safe in the patient with a previous low transverse cesarean section.
A Repository for Multirelational Dynamic Networks (2012)

Nowadays, WWW contains a number of social media sites, which are growing rapidly. One of the main features of social media sites is to allow to its users creation and modification of contents of the site utilizing the offered WWW interfaces. Such contents are referred to as user generated contents and their type varies from site to site. Social media sites can be modeled as constantly evolving multirelational directed graphs. In this paper we discuss persistent data structures for such graphs, and present and analyze queries performed against the structures. We also estimate the space requirements of the proposed data structures, and compare them with the naive "store each complete snapshot of the graph separately". We also investigate query performance against our data structure. We present analytical estimation results, simulation results, and discuss its performance when it is used to store entire contents of Live journal.
Intrinsic brain surface conformal mapping using a variational method (2004)

We developed a general method for global conformal parameterizations based on the structure of the cohomology group of holomorphic one-forms with or without boundaries. For genus zero surfaces, our algorithm can find a unique mapping between any two genus zero manifolds by minimizing the harmonic energy of the map. In this paper, we apply the algorithm to the cortical surface matching problem. We use a mesh structure to represent the brain surface. Further constraints are added to ensure that the conformal map is unique. Empirical tests on MRI data show that the mappings preserve angular relationships, are stable in MRIs acquired at different times, and are robust to differences in data triangulation, and resolution. Compared with other brain surface conformal mapping algorithms, our algorithm is more stable and has good extensibility.

Type VI collagen microfibrils: evidence for a structural association with hyaluronan. (1992)

Type VI collagen, a widespread structural component of connective tissues, has been isolated in abundance from fetal bovine skin by a procedure involving bacterial collagenase digestion under nonreducing, nondenaturing conditions and gel filtration chromatography. Rotary shadowing electron microscopic analysis revealed that the collagen VI was predominantly in the form of extensive intact microfibrillar arrays. These microfibrils were seen in association with hyaluronan, which was identified by its ability to bind the G1 fragment of cartilage proteoglycan. Treatment with highly purified hyaluronidase largely disrupted the collagen VI microfibrils into component tetramers, double tetramers, and short microfibrillar sections. Subsequent incubation of disrupted collagen VI in the presence of hyaluronan facilitated a partial repolymerization of the microfibrils. In vitro binding studies have also demonstrated that type VI collagen binds hyaluronan with a relatively high affinity. These studies demonstrate that a specific structural relationship exists between type VI collagen and hyaluronan. This association is likely to be of primary importance in the growth and remodeling processes of connective tissues.
Comparative Performance of Bayesian and AIC-Based Measures of Phylogenetic Model Uncertainty (2006)

Reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJ-MCMC) is a technique for simultaneously evaluating multiple related (but not necessarily nested) statistical models that has recently been applied to the problem of phylogenetic model selection. Here we use a simulation approach to assess the performance of this method and compare it to Akaike weights, a measure of model uncertainty that is based on the Akaike information criterion. Under conditions where the assumptions of the candidate models matched the generating conditions, both Bayesian and AIC-based methods perform well. The 95% credible interval contained the generating model close to 95% of the time. However, the size of the credible interval differed with the Bayesian credible set containing approximately 25% to 50% fewer models than an AIC-based credible interval. The posterior probability was a better indicator of the correct model than the Akaike weight when all assumptions were met but both measures performed similarly when some model assumptions were violated. Models in the Bayesian posterior distribution were also more similar to the generating model in their number of parameters and were less biased in their complexity. In contrast, Akaike-weighted models were more distant from the generating model and biased towards slightly greater complexity. The AIC-based credible interval appeared to be more robust to the violation of the rate homogeneity assumption. Both AIC and Bayesian approaches suggest that substantial uncertainty can accompany the choice of model for phylogenetic analyses, suggesting that alternative candidate models should be examined in analysis of phylogenetic data.

<title>Photodeposition of molecular contaminants with a vacuum ultraviolet solar illumination lamp</title> (1992)

Several molecular species (hydrocarbons) outgassed from spacecraft materials adhere and darken on satellite optical surfaces when exposed to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This absorbing molecular film of photolyzed contamination can severely degrade spacecraft optical system performance. In the Optical Scatter and Contamination Effects Facility (OSCEF) at TRW outgassed molecular species can be photo-deposited onto witness optics and an adjacent quartz crystal microbalance with vacuum ultraviolet radiation, simulating a spacecraft UV illuminated environment. Measurement of outgassing rates and concomitant photodeposition efficiencies provides useful data required in the selection of present and new spacecraft materials and accurate predictions of platform operating lifetimes. This paper will describe the methods used to measure the molecular outgassing and photodeposition rates of species from several spacecraft materials in which the samples are used in their operational configurations (no heating or grinding of the sample as in the ASTM E595 test), thus providing data highly representative of on-orbit photodeposition conditions.

Bristle-sensors—low-cost flexible passive dry EEG electrodes for neurofeedback and BCI applications (2011)

In this paper, we present a new, low-cost dry electrode for EEG that is made of flexible metal-coated polymer bristles. We examine various standard EEG paradigms, such as capturing occipital alpha rhythms, testing for event-related potentials in an auditory oddball paradigm and performing a sensory motor rhythm-based event-related (de-) synchronization paradigm to validate the performance of the novel electrodes in terms of signal quality. Our findings suggest that the dry electrodes that we developed result in high-quality EEG recordings and are thus suitable for a wide range of EEG studies and BCI applications. Furthermore, due to the flexibility of the novel electrodes, greater comfort is achieved in some subjects, this being essential for long-term use.
Silicon MEMS tunable capacitors operating in dielectric fluid (2004)

Theoretical and experimental results of a dielectric fluid application for electrostatic, micromachined tunable capacitors are presented. Tunable comb-drive based capacitors were tested and characterized in both air and transformer oil with a dielectric constant (/spl epsi//sub r/) of 2.29. In oil the capacitors exhibit a factor of /spl epsi//sub r/ increase in capacitance as well as tuning range. The dielectric fluid also provides significantly higher breakdown voltage and increased, tunable mechanical damping.

Use of <i>Oxygent™</i> , A Perfluorochemical-Based Oxygen Carrier, as An Alternative to Intraoperative Blood Transfusion (1995)

Oxygent is a stable concentrated perfluorochemical (PFC) emulsion being developed for use as a temporary oxygen carrier. In this application, PFC emulsions can be used to augment oxygen delivery during acute blood loss and thereby provide a margin of safety during hemodilution and surgical anemia. PFCs simply dissolve oxygen in direct proportion to its partial pressure. The oxygen transported by a PFC emulsion is present in the plasma compartment and is therefore easily extracted and consumed by the tissues. Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that a relatively low dose (1.35 g PFC/kg) of Oxygent can support oxygen delivery despite ongoing blood loss. Clinical safety studies in 57 healthy, conscious volunteers and in 30 anesthetized surgical patients have been completed. In these studies, there were no hemodynamic changes or vasoconstriction and cardiac output increased normally in response to hemodilution. Two transient side effects were observed, but only in the high dose (1.8 g PFC/kg) group: a 1-1.5 degrees C increase in body temperature (at 4-6 hours), and a moderate decrease in platelet count (mean nadir approximately 130,000/microL by 2-3 days) without any bleeding complications. Oxygent is presently being evaluated as an alternative to allogeneic blood transfusion in patients undergoing medium- to high-blood-loss surgical procedures.
Bright, dark, and gray spatial soliton states in photorefractive media (1995)

A theory based on the Kukhtarev–Vinetskii model is developed that provides the evolution equation of one-dimensional optical spatial solitons in photorefractive media. In the steady-state regime and under appropriate external bias conditions, our analysis indicates that the underlying wave equation can exhibit bright and dark as well as gray spatial soliton states. The characteristics of these self-trapped optical beams are discussed in detail.
Nutrient intake and blood pressure: families of adult identical twins. (1988)

To investigate the relationship of dietary intake to blood pressure, 198 adults and 53 children who were members of 92 nuclear families completed a 3-day diet diary prior to an outpatient clinic examination for cardiovascular disease risk factors. Nutrient intake was significantly related to age and anthropometric variables in adults. Sodium and potassium intake were related to blood pressure in adults, but this relationship was no longer significant after adjustment for caloric intake. The diet and blood pressure relationships in children were less clear. Multiple linear regression techniques using age, anthropometric variables, and nutrient intake demonstrated that in adults age and skinfold were the principal determinants of blood pressure, but in children age and saturated fat intake were most likely to enter the equations. In comparisons of normotensive and hypertensive adults, there were no differences in the dietary intakes of these electrolytes. The results of this investigation underscore the complex interaction of nutrient intake with body size and age. Investigators who focus only on a few nutrients and fail to account for other sources of variation can be misled.
