Thiopeptin and Roughage Level for Feedlot Steers (1979)

Thiopeptin, an acidosis-preventive antibiotic, was fed with a high-concentrate rolled corn diet in a factorial experiment with two roughage levels (15 and 5% cottonseed hulls) and two diet adaptation schemes to 111 growing steers. Thiopeptin supplementation at 11 ppm increased rate of gain by 5.3% (P<.10) and feed efficiency by 7.8% (P<.01) over the 129-day trial. Carcass characteristics remained unaffected. The higher roughage level increased feed intake (8.7%), but decreased feed efficiency (6.8%) indicating that the added hulls were poorly utilized. Incidence and severity of liver abscesses tended to be lower with the higher roughage level and the more rapid diet adjustment scheme.
WindowScape (2006)

We propose WindowScape, a window manager that uses a photograph metaphor for lightweight, post hoc task management. This is the first task management windowing model to provide intuitive accessibility while allowing windows to exist simultaneously in multiple tasks. WindowScape exploits users' spatial and visual memories by providing a stable thumbnail layout in which to search for windows. A function is provided to let users search the window space while maintaining a largely consistent screen image to minimize distractions. A novel keyboard interaction technique is also presented.
A Framework for Automating Physical Database Design (1991)

We propose a two-pha.se algorithm for physical database design. In phase one the algorithm, for each logical query, loses rules to determine characteristics of a physical design (such as indexes) that would be beneficial to the query, and selects a physical design that yields a low cost estimate for that query. In phase two we use a notion of compromase between physical database designs. St,arting from the physical designs selected in phase one, the algorit,hm looks for a compromise physical design that. minimizes the queries’ aggregate frequencyweighted cost. This method is envisioned as a cornerstone in the efficient implementation of a Turing-complete, very-high-level progra.mming language for dat,abase applica.tions, but it is also suitable for more conventional relational and -1NF database management. systems.
Liquid Transport in Fabric Structures (1995)

Liquid movement in any porous medium is driven by capillary action, which is governed by the liquid's properties, liquid-medium surface interaction, and geometric configurations of the pore structure in the medium. Pore structures of media, partic ularly fibrous materials, are complex and difficult to quantify. This paper discusses wetting and capillary theories and applications of these principles to the analysis of liquid wetting and transport in capillaries and fibrous materials. The derivations for external wetting contact angle and internal liquid transport are confirmed by micro balance measurements of glass capillaries and woven fabrics. The pore area responsible for liquid transport can be derived from mass transport data. This paper reports on the contribution of fiber surface properties and fabric pore structure to liquid transport and retention phenomena in 100% cotton and polyester fabrics.
A Fully Size-Resolved Perspective on the Crystallization of Water Clusters (2012)

The number of water molecules needed to form the smallest ice crystals has proven challenging to pinpoint experimentally. This information would help to better understand the hydrogen-bonding interactions that account for the macroscopic properties of water. Here, we report infrared (IR) spectra of precisely size-selected (H(2)O)(n) clusters, with n ranging from 85 to 475; sodium doping and associated IR excitation-modulated photoionization spectroscopy allowed the study of this previously intractable size domain. Spectral features indicating the onset of crystallization are first observed for n = 275 ± 25; for n = 475 ± 25, the well-known band of crystalline ice around 3200 cm(-1) dominates the OH-stretching region. The applied method has the potential to push size-resolved IR spectroscopy of neutral clusters more broadly to the 100- to 1000-molecule range, in which many solvents start to manifest condensed phase properties.
RTL implementation of Viterbi Decoder (2006)

The clinical spectrum of congenital disorders of glycosylation is becoming increasingly broad. A demonstration of mutations in glycosyltransferases will further help to design diagnostic tools and therapeutic approaches. Recent findings which show that molecular recognition by LARGE is essential for expression of functional dystroglycan and LARGE can functionally bypass alpha-dystroglycan glycosylation defects in distinct congenital muscular dystrophies, indicate a new therapeutic strategy.
Using Deep Learning and Google Street View to Estimate the Demographic Makeup of the US (2017)

The United States spends more than $1B each year on initiatives such as the American Community Survey (ACS), a labor-intensive door-to-door study that measures statistics relating to race, gender, education, occupation, unemployment, and other demographic factors. Although a comprehensive source of data, the lag between demographic changes and their appearance in the ACS can exceed half a decade. As digital imagery becomes ubiquitous and machine vision techniques improve, automated data analysis may provide a cheaper and faster alternative. Here, we present a method that determines socioeconomic trends from 50 million images of street scenes, gathered in 200 American cities by Google Street View cars. Using deep learning-based computer vision techniques, we determined the make, model, and year of all motor vehicles encountered in particular neighborhoods. Data from this census of motor vehicles, which enumerated 22M automobiles in total (8% of all automobiles in the US), was used to accurately estimate income, race, education, and voting patterns, with single-precinct resolution. (The average US precinct contains approximately 1000 people.) The resulting associations are surprisingly simple and powerful. For instance, if the number of sedans encountered during a 15-minute drive through a city is higher than the number of pickup trucks, the city is likely to vote for a Democrat during the next Presidential election (88% chance); otherwise, it is likely to vote Republican (82%). Our results suggest that automated systems for monitoring demographic trends may effectively complement labor-intensive approaches, with the potential to detect trends with fine spatial resolution, in close to real time.

Level 3 basic linear algebra subprograms for sparse matrices (1997)

This article proposes a set of Level 3 Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms and associated kernels for sparse matrices. A major goal is to design and develop a common framework to enable efficient, and portable, implementations of iterative algorithms for sparse matrices on high-performance computers. We have designed the routines to shield the developer of mathematical software from most of the complexities of the various data structures used for sparse matrices. We have kept the interface and suite of codes as simple as possible while at the same time including sufficient functionality to cover most of the requirements of iterative solvers and sufficient flexibility to cover most sparse matrix data structures. An important aspect of our framework is that it can be easily extended to incorporate new kernels if the need arises. We discuss the design, implementation, and use of subprograms for the multiplication of a fully matrix by a sparse one and for the solution of sparse triangular systems with one or more (full) right-hand sides. We include a routine for checking the input data, generating a new sparse data structure from the input, and scaling a sparse matrix. The new data structure for the transformation can be specified by the user or can be chosen automatically by vendors to be efficient on their machines. We also include a routine for permuting the columns of a sparse matrix and one for permuting the rows of a full matrix.
A Loop Antenna for Wlan Application (2006)

With low cost requirement for wireless LAN application, lots of communication manufacturer build the wireless LAN devices into a notebook. It will be a difficult job to design an antenna on the limited notebook space. Recently, the usual wireless LAN antenna design is an inverted-F planar antenna (PIFA) [Wong, 2003 and Su et al., 2004], which can be easily embedded in communication product as compared with the monopole antenna that is extremely good for the appearance of product. However, the antenna gain of the FIPA is about 2 dBi, will reduced the distance for transmitting and receiving. For solve the problem above, we propose a novel loop antenna design to use a narrower width loop conductor, which can improve the radiation performance at horizontal plane and can be implemented simplified. In addition, choose the proper dimension of the feeding metal strip can obtain a good impedance matching, and can reduce the distance from the conducting plate effectively. Details of the designs with the loop antenna and experimental results are presented and discussed.
The reaction mechanism of catalytic oxidation with hydrogen peroxide and ozone in aqueous solution (2003)

The sorption and catalytic oxidation of model compounds (pCBA and phenanthrene) and NOM on FeOOH were investigated using hydrogen peroxide and ozone, respectively. After oxidation with ozone, the hydrophobic, transphilic, and hydrophilic NOM fractions were isolated using XAD-8 and -4 resins to analyze the reaction characteristics. The sorption of pCBA was strongly dependent upon the pH, but phenanthrene exhibited a sorption behavior that was independent of the pH. In the case of NOM, the hydrophobic portion showed higher sorption affinity than hydrophilic and transphilic at pH 7.2. The concentrations of model compounds and oxidants were measured during the oxidations and the efficiency was compared for tests done with ozone alone and those using catalytic ozonation. Through the comparison of the sorption and decomposition of the model compounds, along with the effects of bicarbonate addition, mechanisms for catalytic oxidation with hydrogen peroxide or ozone were proposed, respectively.
Design of diffraction gratings for multipetawatt laser compressors (2005)

A multipetawatt laser is in construction in France with a compressor scheme using diffraction gratings. With an original code which takes into account the imprecision range of the geometrical parameters during the fabrication process, we numerically optimize the mirror stack and study different groove profiles in order to reduce the electric field inside the solid materials. It is shown that among all the profiles which lead to good diffraction performances, the profiles with the highest groove depth and width values lead to the smallest enhancement of the electric field inside the solid materials with a decrease by a factor slightly higher than 2.5. Moreover, in view to reduce the mechanical constraints in the stack, an original setup using a metal insert between the substrate and the dielectric mirror is studied.
A Phenomenlogical Study of Particulates in Plasma Tools and Processes (1993)

Particle contamination in a variety of plasma processes and tools has been studied using a real-time, in-situ detection technique, rastered laser light scattering. In agreement with previous studies, particles were suspended in the plasma. The distribution of particles, however, is highly ordered and predictable, in contrast to the randomness which typifies particulate behavior in uncharged environments, such as cleanrooms. The importance of electrostatic particle trapping is seen, as a means of understanding this ordered distribution of particles, for predictive performance of process tools in manufacturing, and for contamination control in processing tools. The implications of these results on future plasma processing is briefly discussed.
Communication Channel Analysis and Real Time Compressed Sensing for High Density Neural Recording Devices (2016)

Next generation neural recording and brain-machine interface (BMI) devices call for high density or distributed systems with more than 1000 recording sites. As the recording site density grows, the device generates data on the scale of several hundred megabits per second (Mbps). Transmitting such large amounts of data induces significant power consumption and heat dissipation for the implanted electronics. Facing these constraints, efficient on-chip compression techniques become essential to the reduction of implanted systems power consumption. This paper analyzes the communication channel constraints for high density neural recording devices. This paper then quantifies the improvement on communication channel using efficient on-chip compression methods. Finally, This paper describes a Compressed Sensing (CS) based system that can reduce the data rate by > 10× times while using power on the order of a few hundred nW per recording channel.
Biochemical and Functional Study of Antithrombin III in Newborn Infants (1982)

Antithrombin III (AT-III) was isolated by heparin affinity chromatography from adult venous and newborn term and preterm umbilical cord blood. The purified proteins were compared by SDS-PAGE, rocket immuno-electrophoresis, protein concentration by microbiuret relative to optical density at 280 nm, heparin cofactor specific activity, progressive neutralization of thrombin and factor Xa at 37 degree C and pH related antithrombin kinetics. The structural evaluations revealed a fetal AT-III of molecular weight, charge and electrophoretic migration indistinguishable from adult AT-III. The functional studies showed that, on an equimolar basis, the rates of thrombin and Xa interactions with fetal AT-III were as rapid as those with adult AT-III. The catalytic rates of various concentrations of heparin were also equal. The newborn infant, therefore, displays a quantitative but not quantitative deficiency of AT-III.
Credentialing results from IMRT irradiations of an anthropomorphic head and neck phantom (2013)

The head and neck phantom is a useful credentialing tool for multi-institutional IMRT clinical trials. The most commonly represented linear accelerator-planning system combinations can all pass the phantom, though some combinations had higher passing percentages than others. Tightening the criteria would significantly reduce the number of institutions passing the credentialing criteria. Causes for failures include incorrect data entered into the TPS, inexact beam modeling, and software and hardware failures.
Identification of<i>trans</i>-dominant HIV-1 rev protein mutants by direct transfer of bacterially produced proteins into human cells (1990)

A synthetic rev gene containing substitutions which introduced unique restriction sites but did not alter the deduced amino acid sequence was used as a vehicle to construct mutations in rev. Insertion or substitution mutations within a domain of Rev resulted in proteins able to inhibit the function of Rev protein in trans. Rev function was monitored in a cell line, HLfB, which contained a rev- mutant provirus. HLfB cells require the presence of rev for virus production, which was conveniently monitored by immunoblot detection of p24gag. Trans-dominant mutants were identified after expression in bacteria and delivery into HLfB cells by protoplast fusion. In addition, the trans-dominant phenotype was verified by expression of the mutant proteins in HLfB cells after cotransfection. These studies define a region between amino acid residues 81 and 88 of rev, in which different mutations result in proteins capable of inhibiting Rev function.
Controlled Release and Assembly of Drug Nanoparticles via pH-Responsive Polymeric Micelles: A Theoretical Study (2012)

Tumor tissues often have a pH value lower than normal tissues, and this difference suggests a promising way of targeted cancer therapy by using pH-controlled drug delivery systems. On the basis of the mean-field theory, we present a theoretical methodology to predict the self-assembly and disassembly of pH-responsive polymers and nanoparticles in an ionic solution. It is found that vesicles, cylindrical, and spherical micelles can rapidly disassemble and release contained nanoparticles in a narrow pH range. The model is further used to study the controlled assembly of pH-sensitive drug with significantly improved encapsulation efficiency. This method is also applicable for the design of controlled delivery nanodevices for various biomedical applications.
Bimane fluorescent labels: labeling of normal human red cells under physiological conditions. (1979)

The bimane fluorescent labels, monobromobimane, dibromobimane, and monobromotrimethylammoniobimane, are derivatives of syn-9,10-dioxabimane:1,5-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octa-3,6-diene-2,8-dione. They efficiently label hemoglobin (reactive thiol groups), membrane proteins, and glutathione of normal human red cells under physiological conditions. Monobromobimane and dibromobimane are effective on intact cells while red cell membranes may be impermeable to the positively charged monobromotrimethylammoniobimane, the latter being effective only on lysed cells. These bimane labels provide a class of labeling agents that may have wide applicability in biological materials.

Fault Detection in Rotary Blood Pumps Using Motor Speed Response (2013)

Clinical acceptance of ventricular assist devices (VADs) as long-term heart failure therapy requires safe and effective circulatory support for a minimum of 5 years. Yet, VAD failure beyond 2 years of support is still a concern. Currently, device controllers cannot consistently predict VAD failure modes, and undetected VAD faults may lead to catastrophic device failure. To minimize this risk, a model-based algorithm for reliable VAD fault detection that only requires VAD revolutions per minute (rpm) was developed. The algorithm was tested using computer models of the human cardiovascular system simulating heart failure and axial flow (AF) or centrifugal flow (CF) VADs. Ventricular assist device rpm was monitored after a step down of motor current for normal and simulated fault conditions (>750 faults). The ability to detect fault conditions with 1%, 5%, and 10% rpm measurement noise was evaluated. All failure modes affected the VAD rpm responses to the motor current step down. Fault detection rates were >95% for AF and >89% for CF VADs, even with 10% rpm measurement noise. The VAD rpm responses were significantly altered by blood viscosity (3.5-6.2 cP), which should be accounted for in clinical application. The proposed VAD fault detection algorithm may deliver a convenient and nonintrusive way to minimize catastrophic device failures.
Identification of the sites in myelin basic protein that are phosphorylated by meiosis‐activated protein kinase p44<sup><i>mpk</i></sup> (1990)

Myelin basic protein serves as a convenient substrate for detection of a 44 kDa protein-serine/threonine kinase (p44mpk) that is activated near the time of germinal vesicle breakdown in maturing echinoderm and amphibian oocytes. In vitro phosphorylation by purified p44mpk from sea star oocytes was primarily on threonine residues on a single tryptic peptide of bovine brain myelin basic protein. Amino acid composition analysis of the isolated posphopeptide revealed that it was rich in proline residues. Automated solid-phase sequencing by Edman degradation identified the major site as Thr-97 in the sequence NIVTPRTPPPSQGK, which corresponds to residues 91-104 in bovine brain myelin basic protein. Thr-94 was also phosphorylated by p44mpk to a very minor extent.
Experimental Demonstration of a 10 Gb/s Subcarrier Multiplexed WDM PON (2013)

We experimentally demonstrate a 10 Gb/s bidirectional subcarrier multiplexed (SCM) wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) passive optical network (PON). We use digital signal processing and square-root raised cosine pulse shaping techniques to generate M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation electrical signals for the downlink and uplink transmissions using simple intensity modulation and direct detection optoelectronics, and 10 GHz transceivers. The design includes spectral preemphasis and offset optical filtering to increase the effective bandwidth of a commercial 2.2 GHz reflective semiconductor optical amplifier based optical network unit. We realize symmetric 10 Gb/s transmission over a 20 km single feeder PON with optical line terminal launch powers from 1 to 9 dBm. We also demonstrate the ability of these SCM WDM PONs to withstand the effects of upstream impairments.

Polarisation-insensitive coherent lightwave system using wide-deviation FSK and data-induced polarisation switching (1988)

We present a technique wherein polarisation-insensitive heterodyne detection is achieved through data-induced polarisation switching. The polarisation switching is brought about by inserting a passive, birefringent optical device in the path of the transmitted FSK signal. The experimental results show that this technique suffers a power penalty of 3–4 dB when compared with a conventional FSK system with perfectly matched polarisations. This compares well with the expected penalty of 3 dB. This approach uses a single optical receiver and no additional receiver electronics, which could be a significant advantage for local area networks.
Short Silencing RNA: The Dark Matter of Genetics? (2006)

Plants and animals have single-stranded silencing RNAs (sRNAs) of 21-25 nucleotides in length that are derived from a double-stranded (ds)RNA precursor by Dicer (DCL) processing. These RNAs are the guide RNA for nucleases of the AGO class that cleave targeted RNA in a nucleotide sequence-specific manner. The cleaved RNAs are then degraded further or they are the template for an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RDR) that generates a dsRNA. In this paper, I discuss the possibility that this RDR-generated dsRNA initiates a cascade in which there are multiple rounds of secondary sRNA production. I propose that these secondary sRNAs feature in mechanisms that can either buffer mRNA populations against change or, in certain circumstances, mediate extensive changes in mRNA populations. The RNA cascades may also have RNA-mediated epigenetic characteristics in addition to the DNA and chromatin transcriptional silencing potential that has been previously linked with RNA silencing.
