Photoluminescence of InAs quantum dots grown on GaAs surface (2000)

InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on GaAs surface are investigated. The observed abnormal photoluminescence (PL) properties, including extremely sharp high-energy peaks, almost temperature-independent linewidth, and fast thermal quenching, are discussed in terms of the strong quantum confinement effects due to the absence of a cap layer and the lack of carrier redistribution channel caused by the small number of QDs capable of contributing to PL and the high-density surface defects.
Maintaining the Confidentiality of Interoperable Databases with a Multilevel Federated Security System (2002)

When several databases with multilevel security policies are federated to form a tightly coupled federated database management system, heterogeneities such as different accreditation ranges must be overcome. This paper describes an extended methodology to integrate policies that use different lattices as accreditation ranges. A semi-automatic process obtains the federated accreditation range and needed translation functions among accreditation ranges in order to be validated by the security administrator.

A “Scale-of-two” High-Speed Counter Using Hard Vacuum Triodes (1937)

A high-speed recording counter circuit is described which has proved very reliable. The basic circuit element employs two triodes in a symmetrical circuit which has two stable conditions. The circuit is triggered alternately from one stable state to the other by the applied impulses acting through a circuit comprising two “Westector” cuprous oxide rectifiers and an inductance. It is easily possible to make a counter operate accurately at a speed of 20,000 random impulses a minute, provided that the associated recording meter operates in less than 1/100 sec. A “watch-dog” thyratron recording circuit is also described. This is useful where the slow speed of the mechanical recording meter would introduce loss.
Functional Groups at Concave Sites: Asymmetric Alkylation of Esters with Very High Stereoselectivity and Reversal of Configuration by Change of Solvent (1981)

An excellent asymmetric induction (enantiomeric excess >90%) is achieved in the α‐alkylation of esters of carboxylic acids and the alcohols (1) or (2) (see previous contribution). A drastic solvent effect (THF or THF‐HMPT 4:1) enables each of both enantiomers of a compound to be synthesized in high optical purity.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Memory Aid System (2012)

The assistive support system was the most effective and efficient memory aid. The results suggest that assistive technology has the potential to enable older adults to remain safe and independent in their own home.
Towards a Web service composition management framework (2005)

We suggest that the composition of Web services is an activity that needs to be managed, and that Web service composition management is distinct from the management of individual Web services. We describe a set of requirements to help make this distinction. The four main groups of these requirements are: service discovery, service selection and contract formation, composition verification, composition management. Then, we discuss architectural alternatives (centralized, federated, and peer-to-peer) for a Web service composition management framework.
Thermally induced solid state polycondensation of nylon 66, nylon 6‐10 and polyethylene terephthalate (1969)

Abstract The mechanism of solid state polycondensation has been subjected to a fundamental analysis. Equations were formulated for combined diffusion and chemical reaction for two separate situations. One was for solid state polycondensation in polymer flakes or chips. The other dealt with polymer powders. The resultant solutions related molecular weight changes to rate functions. A technique for deriving the rate functions from experimental data is described. Solid state polycondensations were then studied for nylon 66, nylon 6‐10, and polyethylene terephthalate. These data which ranged from 120 to 200°C. were tested with various mechanisms. The most appropriate one was found to be that developed in the present work. Chemical reaction was found to be the rate controlling step in solid state polycondensation in nylon 66, polyethylene terephthalate, powders of nylon 6‐10 and larger particles of nylon 6‐10 at and above 160°C. Diffusion of byproduct through the solid was the rate controlling step for larger particles of nylon 6‐10 at temperatures below 160°C. Thermograms of nylon 6‐10 indicated morphological changes which possibly influenced the behavior of the larger nylon 6‐10 particles. The Arrhenius relation was fitted to the situations where chemical reaction controlled.
Age based scheduling for asymmetric multiprocessors (2009)

Asymmetric (or Heterogeneous) Multiprocessors are becoming popular in the current era of multi-cores due to their power efficiency and potential performance and energy efficiency. However, scheduling of multithreaded applications in Asymmetric Multiprocessors is still a challenging problem. Scheduling algorithms for Asymmetric Multiprocessors must not only be aware of asymmetry in processor performance, but have to consider the characteristics of application threads also.
A sealed cavity TFR process for RF bandpass filters (2002)

Thin film bulk acoustic wave resonators (TFRs) show considerable promise as a silicon compatible integrated solution for RF bandpass filters with center frequencies in the 1-2 GHz range. This paper presents a VLSI compatible sealed cavity TFR process using reactively sputtered AlN as the piezoelectric film. The devices are free-standing and have a fundamental longitudinal resonance at 1.36 GHz with an insertion loss of 3.5 dB, a K/sub eff//sup 2/ of .4 %, and a Q/sub series/ of 210.
A Nonpolar<i>a</i>-Plane GaN Grown on a Hemispherical Patterned<i>r</i>-Plane Sapphire Substrate (2011)

A high-quality a-plane GaN layer with a pit-free, mirror-like surface was grown on a hemispherical patterned r-plane sapphire substrate (PSS) by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition. The use of the r-plane PSS reduced the density of defects such as basal plane staking faults and threading dislocations of the a-plane GaN. The low-temperature-photoluminescence intensity of the emissions at 3.25 and 3.39 eV related with the defects increased along with the near-band-edge emission at 3.46 eV. The intensity of yellow emission at 2.2 eV on the PSS was remarkably decreased, which indicates the improvement of the crystal quality because of the defect reduction. The InGaN light emitting diode grown on the PSS showed an output power of 7.4 mW at 100 mA, which was about 7 times higher than that on the planar substrate.
Genetic variation in soluble epoxide hydrolase: association with outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (2014)

Genetic polymorphisms of sEH are associated with neurological and vital outcomes after aneurysmal SAH.
Carboxymethyl starch: Chitosan monolithic matrices containing diamine oxidase and catalase for intestinal delivery (2012)

The capacity of carboxymethyl starch (CMS):Chitosan monolithic tablets to protect diamine oxidase and/or catalase therapeutic enzymes against simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and to control their delivery in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) was investigated. Enzyme formulations loaded with grass pea seedlings diamine oxidase (PSDAO) vegetal extract, catalase, or PSDAO associated to catalase, were obtained by direct compression. The CMS:Chitosan (1:1) matrix afforded a good gastric protection to PSDAO and to catalase, when each enzyme was formulated separately. Variable amounts of DAO were delivered in the SIF containing pancreatin, with maximal release reached at about 8h, a time convenient for tablets to attain the colon. Up to 50% of the initial enzymatic activity of catalase formulated with CMS:Chitosan was found after 8 h in SIF. For the CMS:Chitosan tablets of bi-enzymatic formulations containing PSDAO:Catalase, the releases of DAO and of catalase were synchronized. The hydrogen peroxide (product of DAO activity) was decomposed by the catalase liberated in the same SIF environment. The proposed formulations could allow novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases, intestinal cancers or pseudo-allergic reactions.
Rendering patterns for enterprise applications (2015)

Graphical User Interface (GUI) coding represents a significant amount of effort in Enterprise applications development. Due to the coupling between GUI screens and domain entities, GUI code is hard to reuse and has lots of duplicated chunks. We propose five rendering patterns to organize GUI artifacts based on domain model meta data of Enterprise applications. We have validated our approach by using evolution scenarios to compare the use of the proposed patterns with existing solutions, such as Scaffolding frameworks and AOM Rendering patterns.
Cardiac function and metabolism in Type 2 diabetic mice after treatment with BM 17.0744, a novel PPAR-α activator (2002)

Hearts from diabetic db/db mice, a model of Type 2 diabetes, exhibit left ventricular failure and altered metabolism of exogenous substrates. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) ligands reduce plasma lipid and glucose concentrations and improve insulin sensitivity in db/db mice. Consequently, the effect of 4- to 5-wk treatment of db/db mice with a novel PPAR-alpha ligand (BM 17.0744; 25-38 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1)), commencing at 8 wk of age, on ex vivo cardiac function and metabolism was determined. Elevated plasma concentrations of glucose, fatty acids, and triacylglycerol (34.0 +/- 3.6, 2.0 +/- 0.4, and 0.9 +/- 0.1 mM, respectively) were reduced to normal after treatment with BM 17.0744 (10.8 +/- 0.6, 1.1 +/- 0.1, and 0.6 +/- 0.1 mM). Plasma insulin was also reduced significantly in treated compared with untreated db/db mice. Chronic treatment of db/db mice with the PPAR-alpha agonist resulted in a 50% reduction in rates of fatty acid oxidation, with a concomitant increase in glycolysis (1.7-fold) and glucose oxidation (2.3- fold). Correction of the diabetes-induced abnormalities in systemic and cardiac metabolism after BM 17.0744 treatment did not, however, improve left ventricular contractile function.
hKCNMB3 and hKCNMB4, cloning and characterization of two members of the large‐conductance calcium‐activated potassium channel β subunit family (2000)

We cloned two beta subunits of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels, hKCNMB3 (BKbeta1) and hKCNMB4 (BKbeta4). Profiling mRNA expression showed that hKCNMB3 expression is enriched in testis and hKCNMB4 expression is very prominent in brain. We coexpressed BK channel alpha (BKalpha) and BKbeta4 subunits in vitro in CHO cells. We compared BKalpha/beta4 mediated currents with those of smooth muscle BKalpha/beta1 channels. BKbeta4 slowed activation kinetics more significantly, led to a steeper apparent calcium sensitivity, and shifted the voltage range of BK current activation to more negative potentials than BKbeta1. BKalpha/beta4 channels were not blocked by 100 nM charybdotoxin or iberiotoxin, and were activated by 17beta-estradiol.
Estimation of the intravascular half-lives of normal rhesus monkey IgG, IgA and IgM. (1979)

Rhesus monkey IgG, IgA and IgM were purified from pooled normal serum and labelled with 125I. Four monkeys were injected intravenously with approximately 50 microgram of each purified immunoglobulin containing between 25 muCi and 50 muCi of 125I. Iodination was approximately 1 atom per 14 molecules of IgG and IgA and per 2.5 molecules of IgM. Samples of serum were taken for up to 22 days after injection and radioactivity compared with that in a sample taken within 30 min of injection. Sucrose density ultracentrifugation of serum samples revealed that in animals given IgG or IgA, radioactivity was associated with 7S protein peaks, and in animals given IgM radioactivity was associated predominantly with a 19S protein peak. Most of the radioactivity could be precipitated from serum samples with the appropriate monospecific antiserum. The mean half-life of rhesus monkey IgG was estimated as 8.3 days, IgA as 4.5 days and IgM as 4.7 days.
OFERTA DE SERVIÇOS NA ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA À SAÚDE EM UM MUNICÍPIO DA BAHIA (2008)

A organizacao da rede e a oferta de servicos na Atencao Primaria a Saude (APS) sao condicoes para que qualquer sistema de saude estruture-se de forma hierarquizada e integral, o que implica em ofertar acoes que atendam as demandas/necessidades da populacao. Este trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar a oferta de servicos de Feira de Santana-BA (1998-2005), considerando as atividades desenvolvidas por profissionais de nivel medio e superior (enfermeiro e medico). Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo. Utilizou-se de dados secundarios atraves das Bases de Dados do Sistema de Informacoes Ambulatoriais do Sistema Unico de Saude (SUS), sendo os resultados apresentados em forma de tabelas e graficos, articulando a discussao com a producao teorica da area. O municipio dispoe de 78 estabelecimentos de saude que compoem a APS, no ano de 2005, com 53,8 % de Unidades de Saude
da Familia. Observa-se que a oferta de consultas de enfermagem nos anos de 2001 para 2002 apresenta um aumento superior a 50%; e as consultas medicas clinicas entre os anos de 1998 e 1999 foram ampliadas com uma elevacao superior a 50%. Ja nos anos de 2001 e 2002, apesar
da implantacao do Programa Saude da Familia (PSF), no referido municipio nao houve acrescimo significativo. Conclui-se que houve um aumento consideravel da rede e da oferta de servicos na APS com a implantacao do PSF no municipio, a partir de 2002.
<title>New Media Development At Burroughs: Material And Coating</title> (1983)

We have used gold with non-ablative hole formation mechanism for our recording media and have developed a process for optimization. The materials are highly sensitive, with long archival life and are overcoat compatible. The optical efficiency of the multiple layer recording structure can be optimized by simple optical monitoring. Uniformity of 14" planar disk coating can be achieved with proper masking technique.
Dynamic use of multiple parameter sets in sequence alignment (2006)

The level of conservation between two homologous sequences often varies among sequence regions; functionally important domains are more conserved than the remaining regions. Thus, multiple parameter sets should be used in alignment of homologous sequences with a stringent parameter set for highly conserved regions and a moderate parameter set for weakly conserved regions. We describe an alignment algorithm to allow dynamic use of multiple parameter sets with different levels of stringency in computation of an optimal alignment of two sequences. The algorithm dynamically considers various candidate alignments, partitions each candidate alignment into sections, and determines the most appropriate set of parameter values for each section of the alignment. The algorithm and its local alignment version are implemented in a computer program named GAP4. The local alignment algorithm in GAP4, that in its predecessor GAP3, and an ordinary local alignment program SIM were evaluated on 257,716 pairs of homologous sequences from 100 protein families. On 168,475 of the 257,716 pairs (a rate of 65.4%), alignments from GAP4 were more statistically significant than alignments from GAP3 and SIM.
Increased Serum Levels of Endogenous Protectant Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients (2002)

Our results suggest that SLPI takes part in the anti-inflammatory reaction after ischemic stroke. Endogenous SLPI may have a neuroprotective effect, and could be a prototype therapeutic approach for ischemic stroke.
Adversary Resistant Deep Neural Networks with an Application to Malware Detection (2017)

Outside the highly publicized victories in the game of Go, there have been numerous successful applications of deep learning in the fields of information retrieval, computer vision, and speech recognition. In cybersecurity, an increasing number of companies have begun exploring the use of deep learning (DL) in a variety of security tasks with malware detection among the more popular. These companies claim that deep neural networks (DNNs) could help turn the tide in the war against malware infection. However, DNNs are vulnerable to adversarial samples, a shortcoming that plagues most, if not all, statistical and machine learning models. Recent research has demonstrated that those with malicious intent can easily circumvent deep learning-powered malware detection by exploiting this weakness.
Serological classification and virulence determination of Dichelobacter nodosus isolated from Alberta and British Columbia sheep. (1998)

Ovine footrot is a contagious disease of sheep that occurs in temperature climates. It is caused by the strict anaerobe, Dichelobacter nodosus. Benign and virulent organisms are differentiated according to serotype and protease production. This study was conducted to identify the presence of virulent serotypes of D. nodosus in sheep flocks in Alberta and British Columbia. Dichelobacter nodosus was detected in lame sheep from 11 of 15 (73%) flocks in Alberta and in 4 of 5 (80%) British Columbia flocks. It was recovered from 57 of 107 (53%) lame sheep. In Alberta, 4 distinct serotypes were isolated from the 11 positive flocks while in British Columbia a total of 6 different serotypes were isolated. One British Columbia isolate could not be classified into existing serotypes. Of the 19 field strains tested, all but 3 were defined as virulent based upon the rapid rise in protease activity in vitro which was maintained between 3 and 5 d. The knowledge of the serotype and virulence of the D. nodosus isolated from affected animals can assist in the control and prevention of ovine footrot.
The effect of myasthenic syndrome antibody on presynaptic calcium channels in the mouse. (1987)

1. The action of immunoglobulin G obtained from patients with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS IgG) was investigated by injecting mice, followed by intracellular recordings from the mouse diaphragm. 2. End-plate potential quantal content was studied over a range of Ca2+ concentrations. Curves of log quantal content versus log Ca2+ concentration were shifted to the right by LEMS IgG. For low Ca2+ concentrations, release continued to follow Poisson statistics after LEMS IgG treatment. 3. Miniature end-plate potential (m.e.p.p.) frequency was measured in solutions containing high K+ concentrations. LEMS IgG significantly reduced m.e.p.p. frequency at each K+ concentration studied. 4. M.e.p.p. frequency was measured at fixed high-K+ concentration (15.9 mM) for a range of Ca2+ concentrations. The log-log plot of m.e.p.p. frequency versus Ca2+ concentration was shifted downwards throughout by LEMS IgG. 5. M.e.p.p. frequency was not affected by LEMS IgG in Ca2+-free solutions (K+ concentration 15.9 mM) or in solutions of low Ca2+ concentration (K+ concentration 5.9 mM). 6. At each Ca2+ concentration studied, m.e.p.p. amplitudes were not affected by LEMS IgG. 7. The data suggest that LEMS IgG acts on presynaptic voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels to cause their loss of function, probably by down-regulation.
Mobile Video Crawler : Implementing a video streaming Quality of Experience measurement system (2014)

The usage of mobile video streaming services is growing at a tremendous rate. Given the proliferation of Internet video streaming sites, there is growing interest in understanding the Quality of Experience (QoE) of using these services and the roles of the many factors that contribute to the QoE. QoE has a direct impact on customer retention, which means that poor QoE means loss of revenue for video service providers. The quality of experience of a video streaming service may be objectively evaluated with the use of metrics such as, the amount of buffering during video playback and the time before the video actually starts playing. Collecting this data for analysis on a large scale is quite challenging. In this thesis work we discuss the work done on developing a system for collection and analysis of these metrics. The major part of this work is the development of an mobile application that automates the process of playing a list of videos at configurable intervals and during playback of each video records events of interest such as system statistics, video player events and traffic traces. The application has been published and may be used from different locations to collect a rich data set for detailed analysis and modeling of QoE in mobile Internet video streaming.
Enhanced Thermoelectricity in High-Temperature β-Phase Copper(I) Selenides Embedded with Cu<sub>2</sub>Te Nanoclusters (2016)

We report remarkably enhanced thermoelectric performance of Te doped Cu2Se in midtemperature range. Through ball-milling process followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS), nanoscale Cu2Te clusters were embeded in the matrix of Cu2Se, inducing a drastic enhancement of thermoelectric performance by reducing the thermal conductivity without degrading the power factor. A large ZT value of 1.9 was achieved at 873 K for Cu2Se1.9Te0.1, which is about 2 times larger than that of the pure Cu2Se. The nanoscale heat management by Cu2Te nanoclusters in superionic conductors opens up an avenue for thermoelectric materials research.
<i><scp>RELN</scp></i> and <i><scp>VLDLR</scp></i> mutations underlie two distinguishable clinico‐radiological phenotypes (2016)

Pontocerebellar hypoplasias (PCH) are characterized by lack of development and/or early neurodegeneration of cerebellum and brainstem. We report five patients referred for PCH, showing atypical clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features suggestive of defects in the Reelin pathway. We screened for mutations in RELN or VLDLR and compared the phenotype of these patients with that of previously reported patients. All patients had profound cerebellar hypoplasia on MRI with peculiar cerebellar morphology, associated with flattened pons and neocortical abnormalities. Patient 1 had profound motor and intellectual disability with moderate lissencephaly suggestive of RELN mutations and was shown to harbor a splicing homozygous RELN mutation. The four other patients had a milder phenotype consistent with CARMQ1 (cerebellar ataxia and mental retardation with or without quadrupedal locomotion). These patients showed mild simplification or thickening of cortical gyration and had VLDLR mutations. Reelin signaling regulates neuronal migration in the developing mammalian brain. VLDLR is a key component of the Reelin pathway. Our patients had a very small and dysplatic cerebellar vermis that should suggest the involvement of these genes. Moreover, differences in clinical severity, involvement of the cerebellar hemispheres, together with the severity of the neocortical defect, enables RELN-mutated patients to be distinguished from VLDLR-mutated patients.
Diffuse axonal injury in mild traumatic brain injury: a diffusion tensor imaging study (2005)

Although mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy abnormalities in these patients with TBI were too subtle to be detected with the whole-brain histogram analysis, they are present in brain areas that are frequent sites of DAI. Because diffusion tensor imaging changes are present at both early and late time points following injury, they may represent an early indicator and a prognostic measure of subsequent brain damage.
