A pilot study of sound levels in an Australian adult general intensive care unit (2010)

High technology and activity levels in the intensive care unit (ICU) lead to elevated and disturbing sound levels. As noise has been shown to affect the ability of patients to rest and sleep, continuous sound levels are required during sleep investigations. The aim of this pilot study was to develop a robust protocol to measure continuous sound levels for a larger more substantive future study to improve sleep for the ICU patient. A review of published studies of sound levels in intensive care settings revealed sufficient information to develop a study protocol. The study protocol resulted in 10 usable recordings out of 11 attempts to collect pilot data. The mean recording time was 17.49 +/- 4.5 h. Sound levels exceeded recommendations made by the World Health Organization (WHO) for hospitals. The mean equivalent sound level (LAeq) was 56.22 +/- 1.65 dB and LA90 was 46.8 +/- 2.46 dB. The data reveal the requirement for a noise reduction program within this ICU.
Transient expression analysis of allelic variants of a VNTR in the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) (2005)

Our data suggests that this VNTR polymorphism may not have a direct effect on DAT1 expression and that the associations observed with psychiatric phenotypes may be mediated via linkage disequilibrium with other functional polymorphisms.
Über metallorganische Komplexverbindungen (1950)

Abstract Seit Entdeckung des Lithium‐aluminiumhydrids durch Schlesinger und Mitarbeiter gewinnen die konstitutionell nahestehenden metallorganischen Komplexverbindungen an Interesse. Die Vereinigung metallorganischer Verbindungen zu solchen höherer Ordnung stellt neue Probleme, die für die Natur der komplexen Bindung bedeutungsvoll sind. Gleichzeitig bahnen sich neue präparative Möglichkeiten an, da die Reaktionsfähigkeit der Addenden im Komplexbereich abgewandelt ist.
FPGA implementation of content addressable memory based information detection system (2014)

CAM (content-addressable memory) is a specialized type of high-speed memory that searches its entire contents in a single clock cycle. We are designing generalized CAM using Dual Port RAM (random access memory) structure which will perform match operation in addition to read and write operation .The design has fast search capabilities while consuming least system resources as possible. CAM provides performance advantage over other search algorithms as searching is based on content rather than address unlike RAM. The match time of our CAM structure is faster and resources are more effective. CAM is used in application where search time is very critical. content addressable memory compare input search data against stored data and return address of matched data. Thus overall function of CAM is to take search word and return matching memory location.

Mid-infrared optical frequency combs based on difference frequency generation for molecular spectroscopy (2015)

Mid-infrared femtosecond optical frequency combs were produced by difference frequency generation of the spectral components of a near-infrared comb in a 3-mm-long MgO:PPLN crystal. We observe strong pump depletion and 9.3 dB parametric gain in the 1.5 μm signal, which yields powers above 500 mW (3 μW/mode) in the idler with spectra covering 2.8 μm to 3.5 μm. Potential for broadband, high-resolution molecular spectroscopy is demonstrated by absorption spectra and interferograms obtained by heterodyning two combs.
Corneal Epitheliotrophic Capacity of Three Different Blood-Derived Preparations (2006)

Platelet releasate but not FFP may offer additional potential for the treatment of severe ocular surface disease. Platelet releasate may be suitable as a novel treatment option for ocular surface disease with a superior effect on cell growth.
The Measurement of Meaning (1957)

In this pioneering study, the authors deal with the nature and theory of meaning and present a new, objective method for its measurement which they call the semantic differential. This instrument is not a specific test, but rather a general technique of measurement that can be adapted to a wide variety of problems in such areas as clinical psychology, social psychology, linguistics, mass communications, esthetics, and political science. The core of the book is the authors' description, application, and evaluation of this important tool and its far-reaching implications for empirical research.
A multiple-resolution method for edge-centric data clustering (1999)

Recent works in spatial data clustering view the input data set in terms of inter-point edge lengths rather than the points themselves. Cluster detection in such a system is a matter of finding connected paths of edges whose weight is no greater than some user input threshold or cutoff value. The SMTIN algorithm[9] is one such system that uses Delaunay triangulation to compute the set of nearest neighbor edges quickly and efficiently. Experiments demonstrate a substantial performance and accuracy improvement using SMTIN in comparison to other clustering systems.
Acquired Hemophilia A: A Frequently Overlooked Autoimmune Hemorrhagic Disorder (2014)

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare hemorrhagic disease in which autoantibodies against coagulation factor VIII- (FVIII-) neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) impair the intrinsic coagulation system. As the inhibitors developed in AHA are autoantibodies, the disease may have an autoimmune cause and is often associated with autoimmune disease. Although acute hemorrhage associated with AHA may be fatal and is costly to treat, AHA is often unrecognized or misdiagnosed. AHA should thus be considered in the differential diagnosis particularly in postpartum women and the elderly with bleeding tendency or prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time. Cross-mixing tests and measurement of FVIII-binding antibodies are useful to confirm AHA diagnosis. For treatment of acute hemorrhage, hemostatic therapy with bypassing agents should be provided. Unlike in congenital hemophilia A with inhibitors, in which immune tolerance induction therapy using repetitive infusions of high-dose FVIII concentrates is effective for inhibitor eradication, immune tolerance induction therapy has shown poor efficacy in treating AHA. Immunosuppressive treatment should thus be initiated to eradicate inhibitors as soon as the diagnosis of AHA is confirmed.
Effects of CO2, He, and N2 on the Lifetimes of the 00°1 and 10°0 CO2 Laser Levels and on Pulsed Gain at 10.6 μ (1967)

Relaxation times of the 00°1 and 10°0 CO2 vibrational levels and the afterglow gain at 10.6 μ were studied by a pulsed-gain technique, for pure CO2, CO2:He, and CO2:N2 gas mixtures in 22-mm- and 34-mm-bore nonflowing laser amplifiers. Measurements of the exponential rise, τr, and decay, γd, times of the afterglow gain pulse were made using a cw 10.6-μ CO2 laser as the amplifier input radiation source. Evidence is presented to support the interpretation of τr and τd as measures of the effective lifetimes of the 10°0 and 00°1 CO2 laser levels, respectively. For the case of a pure CO2 gas in the pressure range from 1 to 8 Torr, the measured τr and τd values vary from 50 to 250 μsec and 0.3 to 2.5 msec, respectively. Both 1/τ00°1 and 1/τ10°0 increase almost linearly with increasing CO2 pressure for P&gt;4 Torr. Collision cross sections for volume quenching in pure CO2 are computed to be σ00°1=2.86×10−19 cm2 and σ10°0=1.62×10−18 cm2, assuming Tgas=300°K. Addition of helium to CO2 causes essentially no change in τ00°1 but results in a substantial decrease in τ10°0. The measured collision cross section for quenching of the 10°0 level population by He is (σ10°0)He=1.04×10−18 cm2, about two-thirds of that obtained for CO2−CO2 collisions. Nitrogen, on the other hand, causes an increase in both τ00°1 and τ10°0 by much as a factor of two at P&gt;5 Torr. The peak values of amplifier gain in the afterglow, Gp, in general, are higher and depend more critically on tube bore than those obtained for cw discharges. The relative values of optimum Gp for CO2, CO2:He, and CO2:N2 are consistent with those obtained from cw gain measurements.
Die Flüssigkeitsdichte im Sättigungszustand. Untersuchungen über eine Erweiterung des Theorems der übereinstimmenden Zustände. Teil II (1954)

Abstract Wenn man die Meßwerte für die reduzierte (d. h. auf den kritischen Zustand bezogene) Dichte aesättigter Flüssigkeiten in Abhängigkeit von der reduzierten Temperatur aufträgt, so erhält man, ähnlich wie beim Dampfdruck, keine einheitliche Kurve, wie es das Theorem der übereinstimmenden Zustände in der üblichen Fassung verlangt, sondern eine einparametrige Kurvenschar. Für diese wird eine der Erfahrung angepaßte Gleichung aufgestellt, die den auch für die Dampfdruckkurve maßgebenden „kritischen Parameter”︁ enthält. Durch Einführung der Nullpunktsdichte statt der kritischen Dichte ergibt sich eine vom kritischen Parameter weitgehend unabhängige Funktion, die tabellarisch wiedergegeben wird und deren Anwendungsmöglichkeiten diskutiert und an Hand von Zahlenbeispielen erläutert werden. Das auf den absoluten Nullpunkt extrapolierte Molvolumen zeigt bei Kohlenwasserstoffen präzise Zusammenhänge mit der Struktur der Molekeln. Zur Abschätzung des kritischen Volumens organischer Verbindungen wird eine Zusammenstellung der Meßwerte und ein System von Substitutionsinkrementen angegeben.
A large field CCD system for quantitative imaging of microarrays (2006)

We describe a charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging system for microarrays capable of acquiring quantitative, high dynamic range images of very large fields. Illumination is supplied by an arc lamp, and filters are used to define excitation and emission bands. The system is linear down to fluorochrome densities <<1 molecule/microm2. The ratios of the illumination intensity distributions for all excitation wavelengths have a maximum deviation approximately +/-4% over the object field, so that images can be analyzed without computational corrections for the illumination pattern unless higher accuracy is desired. Custom designed detection optics produce achromatic images of the spectral region from approximately 450 to approximately 750 nm. Acquisition of a series of images of multiple fluorochromes from multiple arrays occurs under computer control. The version of the system described in detail provides images of 20 mm square areas using a 27 mm square, 2K x 2K pixel, cooled CCD chip with a well depth of approximately 10(5) electrons, and provides ratio measurements accurate to a few percent over a dynamic range in intensity >1000. Resolution referred to the sample is 10 microm, sufficient for obtaining quantitative multicolor images from >30,000 array elements in an 18 mm x 18 mm square.
Study of Low-Efficiency Droop in Semipolar ( <formula formulatype="inline"> <tex Notation="TeX">$20\bar{2}\bar{1}$</tex> </formula>) InGaN Light-Emitting Diodes by Time-Resolved Photoluminescence (2016)

The superior low-efficiency droop performance of semipolar ( <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$20\bar{2}\bar{1}$</tex></formula> ) InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) makes it a hot candidate for efficient solid-state lighting and full-color displays. To unveil the mystery of this low droop and high efficiency, the emission dynamics of semipolar ( <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$20\bar{2}\bar{1}$</tex></formula> ) LEDs is investigated by time-resolved and steady-state photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Much smaller carrier lifetimes (radiative and nonradiative lifetime) were obtained from semipolar ( <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$20\bar{2}\bar{1}$</tex></formula> ) InGaN QWs compared with those on the <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$c$</tex> </formula> -plane samples, possibly due to the reduced quantum-confined Stark effects and smaller indium fluctuation on semipolar InGaN samples. The experimental findings indicate a much reduced excess carrier density in semipolar ( <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$20\bar{2}\bar{1}$</tex> </formula> ) InGaN LEDs, which will impact the device performance.

Personality Prediction with Hybrid Genetic Programming using Portable EEG Device (2022)

This work suggests a method to identify personality traits regarding the targeted film clips in real-time. Such film clips elicit feelings in people while capturing their brain impulses using the electroencephalogram (EEG) devices and examining personality traits. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) paradigm for determining personality is employed in this study. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) approach is used for feature extraction, and we have used hybrid genetic programming (HGP) for EEG data classification. We used a single-channel NeuroSky MindWave 2 dry electrode unit to obtain the EEG data. In order to collect the data, thirty Hindi and English video clips were placed in a conventional database. Fifty people volunteered to participate in this study and willingly provided brain signals. Using this dataset, we have generated four two-class HGP classifiers (HGP1, HGP2, HGP3, and HGP4), one for each group of MBTI traits overall classification accuracy of the HGP classifier as 82.25% for 10-fold cross-validation partition.
Efficient and Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generation (Extended Abstract) (1984)

Cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generators known so far suffer from the handicap of being inefficient; the most efficient ones can generate only one bit on each modular multiplication (n 2 steps). Blum, Blum and Shub ask the open problem of outputting even two bits securely. We state a simple condition, the XOR-Condition, and show that any generator satisfying this condition can output logn bits on each multiplication. We also show that the logn least significant bits of RSA, Rabin’s Scheme, and the x 2 mod N generator satisfy this condition. As a corollary, we prove that all boolean predicates of these bits are secure. Furthermore, we strengthen the security of the x 2 mod N generator, which being a Trapdoor Generator, has several applications, by proving it as hard as Factoring.
Activated Carbon: Ion Exchange and Adsorption Properties (2004)

Abstract Several techniques have been developed and used to remove and/or recover a wide range of micropollutants from water and a variety of industrial effluents. Adsorption using activated carbon is well established for the removal of organic molecules from aqueous solution, but to a much lesser extent for the removal of toxic heavy metals. Here, the preparation, properties, and metal sorption performance of a range of as‐received and oxidized samples of granular activated carbon that were either prepared or modified in the author's laboratory are discussed. Samples were evaluated for the removal of trace toxic metal ions from aqueous solutions. Batch and column experiments have been performed to elucidate the relationship between sorptive performance and the physical and chemical structure of these materials.
A sparse sampling planner for sensor resource management (2006)

The goal of sensor resource management (SRM) is to allocate resources appropriately in order to gain as much information as possible about a system. We introduce a centralized non-myopic planning algorithm, C-SPLAN, that uses sparse sampling to estimate the value of resource assignments. Sparse sampling is related to Monte Carlo simulation. In the SRM problem we consider, our network of sensors observes a set of tracks; each sensor can be set to operate in one of several modes and/or viewing geometries. Each mode incurs a different cost and provides different information about the tracks. Each track has a kinematic state and is of a certain class; the sensors can observe either or both of these, depending on their mode of operation. The goal in this problem is to maximize the overall rate of information gain, i.e. rate of improvement in kinematic tracking and classification accuracy of all tracks in the Area of Interest. The rate is defined by several metrics with the cost of the sensor mode being the primary factor. We compare C-SPLAN's performance on several tracking and target identification problems to that of other algorithms.
On Deep Multi-View Representation Learning (2015)

We consider learning representations (features) in the setting in which we have access to mul-tiple unlabeled views of the data for representa-tion learning while only one view is available at test time. Previous work on this problem has pro-posed several techniques based on deep neural networks, typically involving either autoencoder-like networks with a reconstruction objective or paired feedforward networks with a correlation-based objective. We analyze several techniques based on prior work, as well as new variants, and compare them experimentally on visual, speech, and language domains. To our knowledge this is the first head-to-head comparison of a vari-ety of such techniques on multiple tasks. We find an advantage for correlation-based represen-tation learning, while the best results on most tasks are obtained with our new variant, deep canonically correlated autoencoders (DCCAE). 1.
한미동맹에 대한 이해 - 전략적 소통의 재구축 및 활용에 대한 필요성 - (2019)

북한의 장기적인 의도 및 목표를 둘러싼 불확실성이 증대되고 중국과 러시아의 호전성이 증폭되는 가운데 한미 동맹의 안정성에 대한 우려가 늘어나고 있다. 직접적으로 언급하자면 한미 연합사령부, 유엔군사령부 및 주한미군사령부를 포함한 다양한 한국 주재 타국 사령부의 근본적인 문제가 붉어지고 있다. 다시 말해 상기 언급한 타국 사령부 및 병력의 한국 주둔의 필요성 및 임무에 대한 근본적인 궁금증이 있으며 과연 이들 사령부가 한반도 및 동북아지역에 평화를 방해하는 요소로 작용하는 지에 대한 답변이 필요하다. 마지막으로 상기 사령부의 국내 주둔이 한국의 주권 침해로 이어지는지에 대한 성찰도 필요하다.
본 논문의 목표는 한미동맹 및 상기 언급된 사령부의 현안 또는 잠정적인 역활과 기능을 단순히 식별하는 것이 아니다. 또한 본 논문은 현재 북한과의 장기적사회분쟁(Protracted Social Conflict: PSC) 또는 비핵화 및 평화 가능성에 대한 연구가 아니다. 본 논문을 통한 본 저자의 입장은 한국과 북한, 중국, 러시아 및 타국과의 관계와는 별도로 한미군사동맹과 동맹군 사령부의 국내 주둔이 미치는 긍정적인 영향이 여전히 유효하다는 것이다. 본 논문은 이러한 한미동맹의 효용성 대한 재해석과 동맹군 사령부 목적의 구체화 및 한국 및 동북아 지역내 한미동맹의 긍정적인 효과에 대한 함구가 필요하다는 점을 시사하고 있다. 추가적으로 이러한 한미동맹에 대한 새로운 이해를 효과적으로 알릴 필요가 있다. 이를 위해서는 한미동맹의 모든 주체가 소통방법에 대한 방법을 다시 검토할 필요가 있으며 “전략적 소통”이 어떻게 지속적으로 이루어 질 수 있는지에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 전략적 소통을 위해서는 소통대상에게 소통주체의 의도된 목표를 이해시키기 위한 통합적인 노력이 필요하며 성공적인 소통을 위해 적절한 소통 양식 및 측정가능한 결과를 인지하는 것이 필수적이다. 전략적 소통은 전달하는 메시지에 대한 이해뿐만 아니라 메시지를 전달받는 이의 아이덴티티, 문화, 입장 및 힘의 관계에 대한 이해가 구축된 가운데 이루어 질 수 있다.
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-3 Activity Is Modulated by Its Association with Caveolin-1 on Endothelial Membrane (2007)

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) is constitutively expressed in lymphatic vessels and transiently in endothelial cells of blood vessels during angiogenesis. Here we report that VEGFR-3 localizes in the caveolae membrane of endothelial cells and co-immunoprecipitates with caveolin-1. Caveolin-1 silencing or its depletion from the cell membrane by cholesterol increases VEGFR-3 autophosphorylation, suggesting that caveolin acts as a negative regulator of VEGFR-3 activity. Receptor activation induces caveolin-1 phosphorylation on tyrosine residues including tyrosine 14. Cell treatment with Src or Abl inhibitors PP2 or STI571, prior to receptor stimulation, affects caveolin-1 phosphorylation without affecting receptor autophosphorylation, suggesting that both Src and Abl are involved in VEGFR-3-dependent caveolin-1 phosphorylation. Caveolin-1 phosphorylation in Src/Fyn/Yes knockout cells demonstrated that Abl phosphorylates caveolin-1 independently from Src family members. These results suggest a functional interaction between VEGFR-3 and caveolin-1 to modulate endothelial cell activation during angiogenesis.
Extracting High Level Semantics by Means of Speech, Audio, and Image Primitives in Surveillance Applications (2006)

Traditional surveillance systems are usually based on visual information only. With the emerging multimedia analysis techniques, interests are changing towards systems that incorporate multiple sensors and different modalities, which leads to new ways of analyzing this multimedia data and more sophisticated applications. This paper shortly reviews the ideas of traditional surveillance systems and explains actual research interests in this domain. Then, it focuses on the typical structure, goals, and applications of multimedia surveillance systems. These issues are supported by short descriptions of selected analysis steps of such a system currently under development. Some experimental results are given to illustrate the extracted semantics and to assess the performance of the individual steps.
In silico design and adaptive evolution of <i>Escherichia coli</i> for production of lactic acid (2005)

The development and validation of new methods to help direct rational strain design for metabolite overproduction remains an important problem in metabolic engineering. Here we show that computationally predicted E. coli strain designs, calculated from a genome-scale metabolic model, can lead to successful production strains and that adaptive evolution of the engineered strains can lead to improved production capabilities. Three strain designs for lactate production were implemented yielding a total of 11 evolved production strains that were used to demonstrate the utility of this integrated approach. Strains grown on 2 g/L glucose at 37 degrees C showed lactate titers ranging from 0.87 to 1.75 g/L and secretion rates that were directly coupled to growth rates.
Projecting web services using presence communication protocols for pervasive computing (2006)

This paper presents an approach for the integration of Web Services with presence-based communication services for the purpose of facilitating pervasive computing. A principal goal for pervasive computing is to be able to have easy and secure access to services based on the context of the situation. Service discovery protocols are a key component in achieving this goal but the ability to successfully discover the appropriate services using service discovery is minimal. For many communication and collaborative sessions pushing of services to participants of the sessions is more effective. The approach presented integrates Web services description language (WSDL) with presence-based communications in order to advertise services connected a communication session.
