Hiding Location Information from Location-Based Services (2007)

In many existing location-based services, a service provider becomes aware of the location of its customers and can, maybe inadvertently, leak this information to unauthorized entities. To avoid this information leak, the provider should be able to offer its services such that the provider does not learn any information about its customers' location. We present an architecture that provides this property and show that the architecture is powerful enough to support existing location- based services. Our architecture exploits trusted computing and private information retrieval. With the help of trusted computing, we ensure that a location-based service operates as expected by a customer and that information about the customer's location becomes inaccessible to a location-based service upon a compromise of the service. With the help of private information retrieval, we avoid that a service provider learns a customer's location by observing which of its location-specific information is being accessed.
Allergic contact dermatitis to propyl gallate (1987)

The antioxidant propyl gallate in a moisturizing cream caused an allergic contact dermatitis in a patient previously sensitized to gallates while working in a bakery.
Predictive bandwidth control for GEO satellite networks (2004)

The paper presents a novel approach for dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) in GEO satellite networks based on adaptive predictive control. In the proposed DBA scheme each satellite gateway (SG) uses an adaptive predictor to forecast the future input traffic flow along with a predictive bandwidth controller to generate a bandwidth request to the network control center (NCC) according to a receding-horizon policy, via solution of an optimal control problem. A multi-service traffic scenario is considered with a careful eye to guarantee differentiated quality of service requirements. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the DBA technique proposed in this work outperforms fixed allocation as well as existing DBA methods.
THE STRUCTURES OF SESQUITERPENE GLYCOSIDES FROM <i>Pittosporum tobira</i> Ait (1986)

Abstract The structures of two new sesquiterpene glycosides, pittosporanoside A1, and A2, isolated from the title plant were determined on the basis of chemical and spectral evidence and X-ray crystal structure analysis.
A complex of nuclear pore proteins required for pore function. (1991)

A family of proteins bearing novel N-acetylglucosamine residues has previously been found to be required to form functional nuclear pores. To begin to determine which of the proteins in this family are essential for pore function, antisera were raised to each of three members of the family, p62, p58, and p54. With these antisera, it was possible to deplete nuclear reconstitution extracts of the proteins and to test the depleted nuclei for nuclear transport. In the course of the experiments, it was found that the three proteins exist as a complex; antisera to any one, while specific on a protein blot, coimmunoprecipitated all three proteins. This complex of pore proteins is stable to 2 M salt, 2 M urea, and the detergent Mega 10, indicating the presence of specific and tight protein-protein interactions. By gel filtration, the complex has a molecular mass of 550-600 kD. Nuclei containing pores depleted of the complex are found to be defective for nuclear transport; moreover, we observe a strict linear correlation between the amount of complex present in nuclei and the amount of nuclear transport of which those nuclei are capable. Thus, the p62-p58-p54 complex defines a group of proteins with strong protein-protein interactions that form a unit of pore structure essential for pore function.
Involvement of Inflammation, Degradation, and Apoptosis in a Mouse Model of Glaucoma (2005)

Glaucoma is a common cause of blindness affecting at least 66 million people worldwide. Pigmentary glaucoma is one of the most common forms of secondary glaucoma, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is an important regulator of innate and acquired immune responses and plays an important role in inflammatory/autoimmunity diseases. Using the DBA/2J mouse as an animal model of human pigmentary glaucoma, we demonstrated for the first time that the expression of the IL-18 protein and gene in the iris/ciliary body and level of IL-18 protein in the aqueous humor of DBA/2J mice are dramatically increased with age. This increase precedes the onset of clinical evidence of pigmentary glaucoma, implying a pathogenic role of inflammation/immunity in this disease. We also observed that activated NF-kappaB and phosphorylated MAPK are increased in the iris/ciliary body of DBA/2J mice, suggesting that both signaling pathways may be involved in IL-18 mediated pathogenesis of pigmentary glaucoma in the eyes of DBA/2J mice. In addition, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) expression in the iris/ciliary body and the activity of MMP-2 in the aqueous humor are increased whereas tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) expression in the iris/ciliary body is decreased, indicating that the degradation process is involved in this mouse model of pigmentary glaucoma. Furthermore, the expressions of apoptosis-related genes, caspase-8, Fas, FADD, FAP, and FAF, and the activity of caspase-3 are increased in the iris/ciliary body of DBA/2J mice. Elucidation of biochemical and molecular mechanisms of IL-18 participation in the pathogenesis of pigmentary glaucoma should provide approaches for developing improved and targeted treatments to ameliorate this blinding disease. The possibility that altered IL-18 expression in the eye of DBA/2J mice initiates and/or amplifies the pathogenesis of pigmentary glaucoma requires further investigation.
Generalized Preisach model of hysteresis (1988)

The model has the following advantages over the classical Preisach (1935) model. First, it relaxes the congruency property of the classical model, which results in a broader area of applicability. For example, the hysteresis loops exhibited by the Stoner-Wohlfarth (1948) magnetic particles can be described by the nonlinear model, while they are not covered by the classical model. Second, the nonlinear model allows one to fit first- and second-order transition curves, while the classical model allows only for fitting of first-order transition curves. As a consequence, the nonlinear model is more accurate.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
DESTINY: a tool for modeling emerging 3D NVM and eDRAM caches (2015)

The continuous drive for performance has pushed the researchers to explore novel memory technologies (e.g. non-volatile memory) and novel fabrication approaches (e.g. 3D stacking) in the design of caches. However, a comprehensive tool which models both conventional and emerging memory technologies for both 2D and 3D designs has been lacking. We present DESTINY, a microarchitecture-level tool for modeling 3D (and 2D) cache designs using SRAM, embedded DRAM (eDRAM), spin transfer torque RAM (STT-RAM), resistive RAM (ReRAM) and phase change RAM (PCM). DESTINY facilitates design-space exploration across several dimensions, such as optimizing for a target (e.g. latency or area) for a given memory technology, choosing the suitable memory technology or fabrication method (i.e. 2D v/s 3D) for a desired optimization target etc. DESTINY has been validated against industrial cache prototypes. We believe that DESTINY will drive architecture and system-level studies and will be useful for researchers and designers.
Construction of recombinant myxoma viruses expressing foreign genes from different intergenic sites without associated attenuation (1996)

Two myxoma virus transient dominant selection vectors were constructed and used to generate recombinant viruses expressing single and double foreign gene insertions from intergenic sites. The intergenic insertion sites were located between the myxoma virus genes MJ2 (thymidine kinase) and MJ2a, and MA24 (beta-subunit RNA polymerase) and MA27 (fusion protein) located approximately 60 and 113 kb from the left-end of the viral genome, respectively. Recombinant myxoma viruses expressing the lacZ gene from either intergenic insertion site retained wild-type virulence. However, expression of the gus gene reduced the virulence of the recombinant viruses in vivo. Northern blot analysis indicated that the major late mRNAs encoding the viral RNA polymerase subunit and fusion protein are both of discrete size. Insertion of a foreign gene under the control of a synthetic late promoter between the MA24 and MA27 genes results in a specific-sized major late transcript for the inserted foreign gene. The MA27 gene transcripts directed by these recombinant viruses are heterogeneous in size, implying the typical pattern of poxvirus late transcription by random 3'-termination prior to polyadenylation. The transcription studies suggest signals located downstream of the insertion site direct 3'-processing of late transcripts irrespective of the gene immediately upstream.
Research on alternative positioning navigation and timing in Europe (2018)

The development of multi-constellation, multi-frequency GNSS is ongoing, with the aim to enable a robust and reliable navigation and approach service to airspace users. While this will greatly reduce vulnerability to space weather, unintentional interference and constellation weakness, some residual vulnerabilities will remain. In the current, predominantly GPS L1 GNSS environment, aviation has accepted that alternate positioning, navigation and timing capabilities based on terrestrial systems remain necessary. These reversionary area navigation capabilities are based primarily on DME/DME, while still providing some residual VOR/DME services. However, this reversionary capability has not been demonstrated to support the stringent RNP requirements that GNSS can support. Also, DME is criticized as being spectrum inefficient, and aviation-internal and aviation-external pressures to share the DME band with other services are increasing significantly. A key question for the future evolution of Communication, Navigation and Surveillance systems is what type of a reversionary capability will be needed in the future (terrestrial or space based), and what performance levels it needs to provide. To answer this question, supported by specific technology options, a project under the SESAR Horizon 2020 Framework (PJ14-03-04) is working on this topic under the title “Alternative Positioning, Navigation and Timing, A-PNT”. A-PNT is a complex, multi-disciplinary topic, with technical and operational aspects going across the CNS domains, and spectrum concerns being an underlying driver. The research activities in PJ14-03-04 are covering a selected set of potential technical solutions: take full advantage of the actual DME performance, DME enhancements (ensuring compatibility with legacy systems), LDACS NAV function and eLORAN. This paper will focus the discussion on the performance levels achievable by each of these technologies and their major advantages and drawbacks. The concept of a modular approach will be introduced as well (which allows the computation of a position solution with integrity based on inputs from various types of sensors). The paper includes contributions from the following SESAR partners: EUROCONTROL, DLR, Thales Avionics, Thales Air Systems and Honeywell Aerospace.
Online Collage CAPTCHA (2007)

In some websites it is necessary to tell apart human users from computer programs which is known as CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Human Apart). CAPTCHA methods are mainly based on the weak points of OCR systems while using them are undesirable to human users. In this paper a method has been presented for telling the human users and computer softwares apart on the basis of choice of an object shown on the screen. In this method some objects are chosen randomly and the pictures about these topics are downloaded from Internet. Then after effecting some changes such as rotating, all of the pictures are shown on the screen. Then we ask the user to choose a specific object. If the user chooses the right object we can guess that the user has been a human being and not a computer software. The main advantage of this method is its simplicity because the user does not have to type anything.
<i>Francisella tularensis</i>Enters Macrophages via a Novel Process Involving Pseudopod Loops (2005)

Intracellular bacterial pathogens employ a variety of strategies to invade their eukaryotic host cells. From an ultrastructural standpoint, the processes that bacteria employ to invade their host cells include conventional phagocytosis, coiling phagocytosis, and ruffling/triggered macropinocytosis. In this paper, we describe a novel process by which Francisella tularensis, the agent of tularemia, enters host macrophages. F. tularensis is a remarkably infectious facultative intracellular bacterial parasite--as few as 10 bacteria can cause life-threatening disease in humans. However, the ultrastructure of its uptake and the receptor mechanisms that mediate its uptake have not been reported previously. We have used fluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy to examine the adherence and uptake of a virulent recent clinical isolate of F. tularensis, subspecies tularensis, and the live vaccine strain (LVS), subspecies holarctica, by human macrophages. We show here that both strains of F. tularensis enter human macrophages by a novel process of engulfment within asymmetric, spacious pseudopod loops, a process that differs ultrastructurally from all previously described uptake mechanisms. We demonstrate also that adherence and uptake of F. tularensis by macrophages is strongly dependent upon complement receptors and upon serum with intact complement factor C3 and that uptake requires actin microfilaments. These findings have significant implications for understanding the intracellular biology and virulence of this extremely infectious pathogen.

These results suggest that MK is expressed in the majority of HCC tissues and rarely in surrounding tissues in chronic liver diseases.
A Submarine Photometer for Studying the Distribution of Daylight in the Sea (1938)

This paper describes the construction of a photometer which is designed to measure narrow spectral bands of submarine daylight. The photometer is capable of making rather rapid and nearly simultaneous measurements of spectral bands of both transmitted and scattered light. The design permits operation from a boat which is not provided with special electrical equipment.
Crystal and magnetic structure of the perovskites La<sub>2</sub>MTiO<sub>6</sub>(M = Co, Ni) (2002)

The crystal structures of the perovskites La2MTiO6 (M = Co and Ni) were determined on the basis of powder neutron diffraction data collected at room temperature. Refinements of the data showed that these compounds have monoclinic symmetry, space group P21/n, and the common structure is a perovskite-type with a partially ordered arrangement of M(II) and Ti(IV) cations on the 6-coordination sites.
Subtyping binge eating‐disordered women along dieting and negative affect dimensions (2001)

Results suggest that moderate dieting is a central feature of BED and that affective disturbances occur in only a subset of cases. However, the confluence of dieting and negative affect signals a more severe variant of the disorder marked by elevated psychopathology, impaired social functioning, and a poorer treatment response.
Child prosthetic hand design: no small challenge (2002)

Our objective in this project is to develop an improved body-powered hand for toddlers from one to four years of age. The primary design goals are for a hand of acceptable cosmesis to provide useful grasp for children in their play activities while requiring minimal harness force and motion inputs. Guiding constraints for this endeavor are that the hand be safe, simple, rugged, lightweight and low-cost. The hand must be affordable and easy to maintain as well as a functional and attractive device that children will want to use and parents will not be reluctant to show. Observation of toddlers suggests a focus on achieving stable spherical and cylindrical grasp patterns, with some fine-tip prehension. Grasping tests confirm the effectiveness of various combinations of grasp geometries, foams and skins. Modifications of a CAPP II gripper for bidirectional control reduces input cable excursion requirement by 50% while doubling the force output. A cable-free device provides easy object insertion for grasp, while a hand equipped with a nonbinding clutch mechanism provides secure capture.
Infrared Emission Spectroscopy: A Theoretical and Experimental Review (1991)

Thermal-induced infrared emission spectroscopy is reviewed, with emphasis on developments in theory and experiment. The theory associated with obtaining thermal-induced infrared emittance spectra as a function of sampling optics is discussed. The FT-IR configuration and data reduction methods needed to properly obtain high-quality spectra, close to room temperature, are also considered. Optical and experimental parameters which affect the spectrum are demonstrated by example, with a discussion of methods which optimize the signal-to-noise ratio. The applications shown range from polymer films on both metal and semiconductor surfaces to a single filament analyzed by micro-emission spectroscopy.
[French epidemiological bases for the treatment of dementia syndromes and cognitive impairment in the elderly]. (1994)

Epidemiological studies of Dementia have major methodological problems, particularly in France: selection of the studied sample, difficulties for contact with elderly people, heterogeneity of place of residence, inaccuracy of the diagnostic procedures. In spite of these problems, the Paquid Research program allowed to give estimations of prevalence and incidence rate of dementia in the French population. On the basis of these results, one can estimate that there are actually about 360,000 prevalent cases of dementia in France, of whom 270,000 are of Alzheimer type. There were also 150,000 annual-incident cases of dementia. However, many of these cases were not considered as demented by the medical system because of the absence of cognitive complaints.
Extended Inter-View Direct mode for Multiview Video Coding (2011)

This paper presents a novel compression tool that improves compression performance of Multiview Video Coding when depth information is available for the reference view. This tool is proposed as a new Extended Inter-View Direct mode of macroblock coding and exploits improved inter-view prediction of motion information. For this prediction, the idea is to use depth information in order to predict motion vectors more accurately, as it is possible in the classic Multiview Video Coding. The Extended Inter-View Direct mode is designed especially for the purpose of joint video and depth coding, where depth information for coded view is not available. Extensive experiments show the potential of the new mode to reduce bitstream by 2% to 11% depending on test sequence, compression scenario and variant of the state-of-the-art multiview compression reference technique used.
Mediating Electron Transfer from Bacteria to a Gold Electrode via a Self-Assembled Monolayer (2006)

Numerous bacterial genera are known to respire anaerobically using macroscopic electrodes as electron acceptors. Typically, inexpensive graphite electrodes, which are readily colonized, are used to monitor electrogenic bacterial metabolism for microbial fuel cell and bioelectronics studies. We compare current production by electrogenic bacteria on gold electrodes coated with various alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers to current production on glassy carbon electrodes. Current production is correlated to chain length and headgroup of the monolayer molecules as expected. Relative to graphite, the coated gold electrodes achieve more reproducible experimental conditions and certain headgroups enhance electronic coupling to the bacteria.
How (not) to Regulate Mediation. The Effects of The Strict Hungarian Provisions on Online Mediation (2009)

Since the mediation is a more or less informal procedure, the first question is whether (legal) regulation of mediation is needed at all, or the framework of the civillaw is suitable for mediation. The second issue is the subject matter of the regulation: which elements (principles, the process of the mediation, the legal effect of thesettlement agreement, etc.) of the mediation procedure should be regulated. The third question is the flexibility of regulation. Should the law allow the parties to depart from the provisions by using special contract terms or the law should prescribedetailed and strict rules for the parties? Finally, I’m going to analyse the provisionsof the Hungarian Mediation Act, and compare it with some other mediation acts and recommendations concerning mediation. Finally, I’m going to show the (negative) effect of the strict and detailed regulation on online mediation.
A survey on NB-IoT downlink scheduling: Issues and potential solutions (2017)

The NarrowBand Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is one of the most promising technologies that fits the requirements of the low-power wide area networks (LPWAN). NB-IoT targets on supporting communications for small amount of data during a relatively long period of time (i.e., delay tolerant), which is one of the key features of IoT applications. Several studies have been conducted by some standard working groups to define the standards for NB-IoT. For example, the working group 3GPP aims to provide communication protocols with low energy consumption, good coverage penetration, and so on. Compared with the existing wireless communication protocols, less spectrum is allocated for NB-IoT. Thus, how to more efficiently use the resource/spectrum (i.e., resource allocation and scheduling) is one of the key issues. In this paper, we first describe the design of the physical layer for the downlink communication, especially the scheduling process. Secondly, we discuss the issues for resource allocation in NB-IoT while the delay requirement in the physical layer is satisfied. Thirdly, we discuss the open questions and possible solutions.
