Melody line estimation in homophonic music audio signals based on temporal-variability of melodic source (2010)

Estimation of melody line in homophonic music audio signals is a challenging subject of study. Some of the difficulties are derived from presence of accompanying components. To overcome those difficulties, we propose a method to enhance melodic components in music audio signals. The enhancement algorithm uses fluctuation and shortness of melodic components, which we call temporal-variability. We also discuss a melody tracking algorithm, which can be simple thanks to the preprocessing. In this paper, we describe the enhancement method and tracking method, and show the experimental results that supports the efficiency of our methods.
A recurring pattern of chromosomal aberrations in mammary gland tumors of MMTV‐cmyc transgenic mice (1999)

Mice carrying the MMTV-cmyc transgene develop mammary tumors at 9 to 12 months of age. Little is known about karyotypic changes in this model of human breast cancer. We have developed and applied molecular cytogenetic techniques to study chromosomal aberrations that occur in these tumors, namely, comparative genomic hybridization and spectral karyotyping. Cell lines from eight tumors were established and analyzed, four of which carried a heterozygous p53 mutation. All of the tumor cell lines revealed increases in ploidy and/or multiple numerical and structural chromosomal aberrations. No consistent differences were observed between cmyc/p53+/+ and cmyc/p53+/− tumors, suggesting that cmyc induces karyotype instability independent of p53 status. Loss of whole chromosome (Chr) 4 was detected in five of the eight tumors. Parts of Chr 4 are syntenic to human 1p31–p36, a region that is also deleted in human breast carcinomas. Four tumors carried translocations involving the distal portion of Chr 11 (syntenic to human chromosome arm 17q), including two translocations T(X;11), with cytogenetically identical breakpoints. We compare the pattern of chromosomal aberrations with human breast cancers, find similarities in several syntenic regions, and discuss the potential of an interspecies cytogenetic map of chromosomal gains and losses.

Washed Mechanically Separated Pork as a Surimi‐like Meat‐product Ingredient (1993)

ABSTRACT Mechanically separated pork (MSP) was washed using water or 1.5% salt solution, each at pH 5.5 and 6.5 to produce a surimi‐like product for further processing. Composition and functionality of the washed product was evaluated and use in processed meat formulations was assessed. Washing treatments reduced fat content to less than 1% but did not reduce calcium content of MSP. The salt solution resulted in removal of heme pigments. Frankfurters manufactured with washed MSP ishowed little improvement over those with unwashed MSP for texture or water binding; therefore, applications may be limited. HOW‐ever, lipid oxidation of frankfurters containing washed MSP, as meassured by TBA, was suppressed during storage.
Positively and negatively charged water cluster ions generated via liquid chromatography/thermospray mass spectrometry (1991)

Abstract The formation of singly protonated water clusters in the positive‐ion mode and singly deprotonated water clusters as well as singly negatively charged water clusters in the negative‐ion mode with a thermospray system running on pure water and in the discharge‐on mode is described. The influence of the potential at the repeller electrode opposite to the sampling cone recalls previous mechanistic discussions on the repeller influence. Application of these water cluster ions to tuning and calibration in the thermospray mode is proposed.

Expression of uPA, uPA-R and PA I -1 is increased in HCC, and uPA and uPA-R may contribute significantly to HCC invasion and metastasis. uPA-R and PA I -1 are associated with poor prognosis.
Gradient‐IPN‐modified hydrogel beads: Their synthesis by diffusion–polycondensation and function as controlled drug delivery agents (1982)

Abstract Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) membranes and gradient–IPN polymers were synthesized by immersing crosslinked, 2‐hydroxyethylmethacrylate copolymer beads which were swollen in polyol in solutions of diisocyanates. Diffusion of reactants and polycondensation take place simultaneously, and the polymer beads are modified by a polyurethane–IPN layer whose thickness and compositional gradient are a function of reaction rate and diffusion rate. When the reaction is fast relative to diffusion, the reaction zone is narrow and the IPN boundary layer is sharp, whereas when diffusion dominates, the reaction zone and the IPN‐modified region becomes broader and more diffuse. A water‐soluble drug imbibed into such gradient‐IPN‐modified hydrogel beads is released over a prolonged time period due to the less permeable IPN barrier and because of a drug‐distribution gradient in the polymer, which follows the polyurethane gradient. Diffusion polycondensation can be considered a special case of interfacial polycondensation, one in which the interface area is expanded into and stabilized by a preformed polymer matrix, which serves as reaction medium.

얼굴 찾기와 소명의 역설: C. S. 루이스의 『우리가 얼굴을 가질 때까지』 (2003)

C. S. Lewis`s novel, Till We Have Faces (1956), a retelling of the myth of Psyche in the form of confessional narrative, deals with an individuation process in connection with the theme of personal vocation. Set in a barbarian kingdom at the edge of Greek civilization in the pre-Christian period, Orual, the first-person narrator, recounts the story of her relationship with her sister Psyche as she experienced it. Thus it exemplifies the author`s historical imagination while presenting a thorough study of kinds of love. This paper focuses on the psycho-spiritual transformation of the protagonist, which is equivalent to individuation process explicated in Jungian analytical psychology. Lewis once noted that this work deals with human response to unique personal vocation. In resentment to Psyche`s vocation to be the sacrificial offering to the god, Orual intervenes to force Psyche to disobey the divine injunction not to look at him, which results in Psyche`s exile and multiple trials. In the process, Orual herself hears a voice saying that she shall also be Psyche, which constitutes her own vocation. Ignoring this call, Orual veils herself as she succeeds her father to be the ruling queen of the domain at the same time as she represses her grief at the loss of her beloved sister, Psyche. Orual`s veil becomes a symbol for her adoption of a persona required to be an effective ruler of her society, which also involves her repression of shadows, the undesirable aspects of her existence. Later in her life, the crisis caused by Orual`s encounter with the myth of Istra[Psyche], which doesn`t fit her own perception of Psyche story, leads her to write an autobiographical confession to accuse the gods and to justify her actions. The writing process enables her to examine her own motives in the key decisions of her life, thus leading her to discover her true self as seen by others. The transformation brought about through writing and encounters with other people constitutes for her an individuation process, a journey of self-discovery and self-actualization which culminates in her death.
Major Lessons from the MTA in Treatment of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (2010)

Objectives ： The current review aimed to describe the major findings of the NIMH Collaborative Multisite Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (MTA) with regard to the treatment of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods ： We performed a general review of the literature regarding the efficacy of the MTA's proposed treatments. Results ： There is a large and still increasing body of evidence regarding the MTA's treatment outcomes. We present and discuss details of the findings at each follow-up point. Conclusion ： Currently, findings regarding the MTA's treatments suggest children with combined-type ADHD exhibit significant impairment in adolescence, despite their initial symptom improvement. Further studies, using innovative treatment approaches and targeting specific areas of adolescent impairment, are needed in order to enhance ADHD treatment outcomes.
New classified vector quantization of images (2002)

In this work, a new coding scheme called predictive classified address vector quantization (PCAVQ) is proposed for image compression. In this scheme, a new two-stage classification method based on the three-level block truncation coding technique is first developed to efficient classify blocks of an image into different classes having similar characteristics. The predictive mean removal VQ technique is applied to reduce the blocking effect in decoded images. On the other hand, a new simplified address VQ method is also developed to increase the compression ratio of the overall system. Simulations using real images show that the proposed PCAVQ scheme has about 1.7 to 4 dB improvement in peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) over the JPEG baseline system.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Highly Efficient P-Modified HZSM-5 Catalyst for the Coupling Transformation of Methanol and 1-Butene to Propene (2009)

A series of HZSM-5 zeolites modified by different amounts of phosphorus (P/HZSM-5) were prepared, and their catalytic performances for the coupling reaction of methanol and C4 hydrocarbons to light olefins were investigated. The results indicated that P/HZSM-5 is a highly efficient catalyst for the transformation of methanol and 1-butene to propene with low-energy consumption. At the temperature of 550 °C, the maximum yield of propene was achieved at 44.0%, which was 7.4 and 4.5% higher than those on 1-butene catalytic cracking and methanol to olefins (MTO), respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization on the catalyst showed that P bonds to the HZSM-5 zeolite framework through oxygen. The enhanced coupling performances can be correlated to the combined effects of matching of the co-feedings and the suitability of the P/HZSM-5 catalyst.
Multi-wavelength photoplethysmography for simultaneous recording of skin blood pulsations at different vascular depths (2007)

Parallel recording of reflection photoplethysmography (PPG) signals in broad spectral band has been performed, and potential of this approach for assessment of blood microcirculation at various vascular depths is discussed. PPG signals have been simultaneously detected at cw laser wavelengths sets comprising 405 nm, 532 nm, 645 nm, 807 nm and 1064 nm. Different signal baseline responses to breath holding at different wavelengths have been observed, as well as different shapes of the PPG pulses originated from the same heartbeat.

Analytical Modeling of Traffic Flow in the Substation Communication Network (2014)

A custom-designed and well-monitored substation communication network (SCN) can maintain fast and reliable information transmission and lead to improved operation and management of a substation automation system (SAS). In order to achieve this goal, a traffic-flow model, including a port connection model, a traffic-flow source model, and a traffic-flow service model of an SCN is developed in this paper. Based on the traffic-flow model, a traffic-flow calculation algorithm is designed to obtain the distribution of traffic load and maximum message delay. In order to verify the accuracy of the proposed method, the SCN of a simplified substation is established in the laboratory. And the distribution of traffic load and maximum message delay calculated using the proposed method are compared to that measured by a network analyzer. Furthermore, possible applications, such as network device selection, network performance analysis, and sensitivity analysis of the proposed method are demonstrated based on a typical 220-kV substation.
Use of Binary Solvent Systems in the MALDI-TOF Analysis of Poly(methyl methacrylate) (1997)

Two of the main problems associated with matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) analysis of polymers are mass discrimination and poor reproducibility. This paper shows that the use of binary solvent systems is one of the causes of these problems. It was observed that the presence of a second solvent such as water in the PMMA solution could cause significant mass discrimination and varying polymer distributions, which can be varied by over 50% when PMMA 4K was used as the polymer sample. In general, a small amount of a second solvent tends to result in less severe mass discrimination but varying distributions, while large amounts of a second solvent are more likely to cause more systematic and severe mass discrimination. Except for a few cases, mass discrimination was observed to be against larger oligomers. Moreover, it was observed that this effect varies with the matrix, main solvent, and sample preparation used. The importance of this work is that it provides guidance for one to develop a better sample preparation protocol to minimize the mass discrimination and poor reproducibility problems. Several potential sources leading to water contamination were identified. Finally, a simple method to verify if amounts of a second solvent are sufficiently high to cause mass discrimination is also discussed.
Wavelet Based Transmitter Identification (1996)

This work addresses the use of wavelets for automatic identification of radio transmitters. The magnitudes and the relative positions of the extrema from several wavelet scales are used to identify the transmitter. Even at reduced signal to noise (SNR) ratios good identification is obtained. The procedure lends itself to be automated, minimizing human interaction.
Piecewise polynomial phase approximation approach for the analysis of reconstructed interference fields in digital holographic interferometry (2009)

This paper proposes a new approach for the analysis of reconstructed interference fields in digital holographic interferometry. In the proposed approach the interference phase to be estimated is conceived as a piecewise polynomial signal; consequently, each segment of the reconstructed interference field is modeled as a polynomial phase signal (PPS) with constant or slowly varying amplitude. The unwrapped phase distribution is then directly computed using the maximum likelihood estimation. Salient features of the proposed approach are: it provides accurate phase estimation from a single record of the interference field; it avoids cumbersome and error- prone filtering and 2D unwrapping procedures; and it paves the way to adapt well-established PPS analysis tools available in signal processing literature for the phase estimation in holographic interferometry.

Diffusion-weighted MR Imaging of the Liver (2009)

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging plays an increasingly important role in the evaluation of patients with liver disease because of its high contrast resolution, lack of ionizing radiation, and the possibility of performing functional imaging sequences. With advances in hardware and coil systems, diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging can now be applied to liver imaging with improved image quality. DW MR imaging enables qualitative and quantitative assessment of tissue diffusivity (apparent diffusion coefficient) without the use of gadolinium chelates, which makes it a highly attractive technique, particularly in patients with severe renal dysfunction at risk for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. In this review, acquisition parameters, postprocessing, and quantification methods applied to liver DW MR imaging will be discussed. The current clinical uses of DW MR imaging (liver lesion detection and characterization, compared and combined with conventional sequences) and the emerging applications of DW MR imaging (tumor treatment response and diagnosis of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis) will be reviewed. Also, limitations, mainly image quality and reproducibility of diffusion parameters, and future directions of liver DW MR imaging will be discussed.
Molecular approaches to therapy for Duchenne and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. (2001)

The muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of heritable disorders in which progressive muscle degeneration leads to regional or generalized weakness. Recent advances in molecular genetics, cell biology and vector discovery have improved the outlook for therapeutic intervention. This review focuses on novel approaches to the study of disease pathogenesis and refinements in gene- and cell-based strategies for protein restoration in Duchenne and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, and concludes with a brief discussion of priorities for future clinical investigation.
Developmental Change in Spatial Cognitive Processing: Complexity Effects and Block Construction Performance in Preschool Children (2001)

Abstract Developmental change in spatial analytic processing was examined in normally developing preschool-aged children. In Studies 1a and 1b, children between 24 and 48 months of age copied a series of simple and complex block constructions. Analyses of construction products demonstrated age-related change in children's abilities to accurately produce complex constructions. Process analyses showed that spatial strategy varied both with age and with the complexity of the model construction. In Study 2, a more detailed examination of performance with complex constructions permitted a further examination of the construct of complexity. The findings suggest that analysis of a spatial array depends on a matrix of factors, including the complexity of the array and the strategies used by the child.
Rateless Coding and Perfect Rate-Compatible Codes for Gaussian Channels (2006)

A rateless code, or a rate-compatible family of codes, has the property that the higher rate codes have codewords that are prefixes of those of the lower rate ones. A perfect family of such codes is one in which each of the codes in the family is capacity-achieving. We show by construction that perfect rateless codes with low-complexity decoding algorithms exist for additive white Gaussian noise channels. As an illustration of our framework, we design a practical three-rate code family. We further demonstrate that a rich set of perfect or near-perfect rateless codes may be found via numerical optimization
Towards Piezoresistive CMOS Sensors for Out-of-Plane Stress (2009)

This paper presents a novel piezoresistive sensor detecting a temperature compensated sum of the three mechanical normal stress components including the Out-of-plane stress iquest <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">zz</sub> . The sensor is based on CMOS-compatible diffusions designed to exploit vertical currents. We show that the temperature compensated stress sum can be extracted via two different sensor designs and even with a single device exploiting the strong influence of the junction field effect in the sensor. For this purpose, an experimental setup that induces homogenous vertical normal stress sigma <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">zz</sub> by applying a vertical force via a gold bump to the sensor is presented. For the characterization, the resulting mechanical stress at the sensor location was evaluated using finite element simulations. Sensitivities, depending on gold bump shape and bias current, were experimentally determined and vertical forces were successfully extracted between 10degC and 60degC, independent of temperature.
