<title>Principal distance constraint error diffusion algorithm for homogeneous dot distribution</title> (1999)

The perceived quality of the halftoned image strongly depends on the spatial distribution of the binary dots. Various error diffusion algorithms have been proposed for realizing the homogeneous dot distribution in the highlight and shadow regions. However, they are computationally expensive and/or require large memory space. This paper presents a new threshold modulated error diffusion algorithm for the homogeneous dot distribution. The proposed method is applied exactly same as the Floyd-Steinberg's algorithm except the thresholding process. The threshold value is modulated based on the difference between the distance to the nearest minor pixel, `minor pixel distance', and the principal distance. To do so, calculation of the minor pixel distance is needed for every pixel. But, it is quite time consuming and requires large memory resources. In order to alleviate this problem, `the minor pixel offset array' that transforms the 2D history of minor pixels into the 1D codes is proposed. The proposed algorithm drastically reduces the computational load and memory spaces needed for calculation of the minor pixel distance.
Modified Two-Dimensional Soft Output Viterbi Algorithm for Holographic Data Storage (2010)

We propose an alternate two-dimensional soft output Viterbi algorithm (2D SOVA) for holographic data storage. The proposed 2D SOVA uses a one-dimensional (1D) SOVA for both the horizontal and vertical directions. The 1D SOVA detects each direction with extrinsic information on the other direction's 1D SOVA. This proposed 2D SOVA has a better performance than a conventional 2D SOVA in terms of output bit error rate.
Magnetic, transport and magneto-optical properties of U/sub x/Sb/sub 1-x/ amorphous films (1990)

It is shown experimentally that amorphous films of U-Sb and films with 20% Co and Mn added are all ferromagnetic with Curie temperatures as high as 135 K with magnetic moments per uranium of up to 1.4 mu /sub B/. Magnetooptical polar Faraday and Kerr rotations at 10 K and 40 kOe have values up to +2*10/sup 6/ degrees /cm and -3 degrees , respectively. The magnetooptical rotation correlates with Hall angles of up to 17 degrees . It is suggested that U-Sb magnetooptical effects and Hall effects are due to an intraband transition.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
The Unified Medical Language System: An Informatics Research Collaboration (1998)

In 1986, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) assembled a large multidisciplinary, multisite team to work on the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS), a collaborative research project aimed at reducing fundamental barriers to the application of computers to medicine. Beyond its tangible products, the UMLS Knowledge Sources, and its influence on the field of informatics, the UMLS project is an interesting case study in collaborative research and development. It illustrates the strengths and challenges of substantive collaboration among widely distributed research groups. Over the past decade, advances in computing and communications have minimized the technical difficulties associated with UMLS collaboration and also facilitated the development, dissemination, and use of the UMLS Knowledge Sources. The spread of the World Wide Web has increased the visibility of the information access problems caused by multiple vocabularies and many information sources which are the focus of UMLS work. The time is propitious for building on UMLS accomplishments and making more progress on the informatics research issues first highlighted by the UMLS project more than 10 years ago.
Medical Management of the Professional Singer: An Overview (2009)

Caring for the professional singer, whether an operatic performer or serious amateur, involves careful consideration of both physical and emotional components, as it does in other performing artists. However, because the head and neck contain representatives of other major organ systems in close proximity to the phonating larynx, singing is additionally vulnerable to a range of diseases of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems. This review provides an overview of the conditions typically encountered in singers. These include occupational disorders (muscle tension dysphonia, vocal nodules, vocal hemorrhage and polyps, chronic voice deterioration), general health issues with vocal implications (respiratory diseases, gastric reflux, endocrine problems, medication usage), as well as lifestyle considerations.

Ethanol production from materials containing cellulose: The potential of Russian research and development (2006)

Development of national research of cellulose-degrading microorganisms and enzymes is reviewed, with emphasis on the prospects of producing ethanol from cellulose materials using cellulolytic enzymes. Leading Russian research groups in this field are introduced. A section of the review analyzes problems and prospects of setting up environmentally friendly production of motor biofuels from renewable raw materials of plant origin (an approach developed in Russia).
Metastability of Oxygen Donors in AlGaN (1998)

Experimental and theoretical evidence is presented for the metastability of oxygen donors in ${\mathrm{Al}}_{x}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}\mathrm{N}$. As the aluminum content increases, Hall effect measurements reveal an increase in the electron activation energy, consistent with the emergence of a deep $\mathrm{DX}$ level from the conduction band. Persistent photoconductivity is observed in ${\mathrm{Al}}_{0.39}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{0.61}\mathrm{N}:\mathrm{O}$ at temperatures below 150 K after exposure to light, with an optical threshold energy of 1.3 eV. A configuration coordinate diagram is obtained from first-principles calculations and yields values for the capture barrier, emission barrier, and optical threshold which are in good agreement with the experimental results.
[Epidemiology of childhood asthma in the department of Calvados]. (1999)

A survey was conducted in 1707 sixth grade school children in the Calvados department of France. A self-administered questionnaire was filled out by the children in the presence of a school nurse. The cumulative prevalence of asthma was 14.9%. There was no significant difference between children living in urban or rural areas. There was however a significant difference by sex: 18% of the boys had asthma and 11% of the girls. The cumulative prevalence of wheezing was 25.4% (current prevalence 12.9%). The current prevalence of dry nocturnal cough, respiratory infections excluded, was 33.3%; that of exercise-induced asthma, 27%. Severity was evaluated on the basis of the number of wheezing episodes since the beginning of the school year (> 3 episodes: 4.5%), the number of awakenings at night per week (several per week: 2.2%), and aggravations severe enough to bother speech (4.3%). The rate of missed school days was 18.5% and that of asthma-related hospitalization 1.8%. One asthmatic child out of 4 had undergone pulmonary function tests and 1 out of 2 had a specific treatment for asthma. The high prevalence of childhood asthma in Calvados, with high morbidity, a significant number of missed school days, the exceptional nature of satisfactory pulmonary function testing, and the inconsistency of specific treatments, emphasizes the need for educational programs for parents and their family and improved physician training.
HomSPICE: simulator with homotopy algorithms for finding DC and steady-state solutions of nonlinear circuits (2002)

We describe the use of homotopy (also called parameter embedding and continuation) methods for finding DC operating points and steady-state solutions of BJT and MOS transistor circuits. Past implementation of homotopy algorithms in proprietary industrial circuit simulators proved that they were viable options to resolving convergence difficulties for finding circuits' DC operating points. In this paper we describe a software implementation of publicly available homotopy algorithms (from the software package called HOMPACK) in the UCB SPICE circuit simulator. The new simulator, called HomSPICE, provides options for finding a circuit's DC operating points and steady-state solutions via three homotopy algorithms. We illustrate the performance of HomSPICE on several simulation examples.

PCR-GGI recapitulates in an accurate and reproducible manner the performances of the GGI using frozen and FFPE samples.
Identification of Genes Induced in Peripheral Nerve after Injury (2001)

Peripheral nerve injury results in axonal degeneration and in phenotypic changes of the surrounding Schwann cells, whose presence is critical for nerve regeneration. To identify genes induced after nerve injury in Schwann cells, we developed a strategy that included differential screening of a subtractive library enriched for cDNAs expressed in injured nerve, sequence analysis, and expression profiling. By using real time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, we found that injury-induced genes could be categorized into four temporal expression patterns. Among the clones we identified were a number that were homologous only to expressed sequence tags in the data base. These were stratified based on their expression profile, presence of identifiable sequence motifs, homologies to other proteins, and evolutionary conservation. We chose one representative gene, nin283, to analyze in detail. The nin283 gene encodes a 227-residue protein containing both a zinc finger and a RING finger motif. nin283 is highly expressed in the central nervous system, particularly in the developing cortical plate in embryos. It is also expressed in peripheral ganglia and is induced by nerve growth factor in PC12 cells. Subcellular localization analysis demonstrated that Nin283 is located in the endosome/lysosome compartment, suggesting that it may participate in ubiquitin-mediated protein modification.
Hysteretic sorption of light gases by a porous metal–organic framework containing tris(para-carboxylated) triphenylphosphine oxide (2008)

The porous metal-organic framework (MOF) PCM-4, based on tris(para-carboxylated) triphenylphosphine oxide, contains atypical, polar organic substituents; the material exhibits a hysteretic sorption of Ar, N2 and O2, and demonstrates the advantage of ligands of this type.
Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrosilylation of Ketones with Triethoxysilane Using a Chiral Binaphthol-Titanium Complex (1996)

The asymmetric catalytic hydrosilylation of prochiral ketones with HSi(OEt)3 using (R)-BINOL-Ti(O-i-Pr)2 as a precatalyst is shown to proceed in excellent yields. Although the observed levels of enantioselectivity were moderate (up to 55% ee), an interesting phenomenon of ”enantioselective autoinduction” was observed.
Skin Disease Analysis using Digital Image processing (2019)

This research study is focused on the detection and classification of skin diseases with the use of the Improved Bag of Features Algorithm. The training dataset were gathered from different sources such as Medical Websites, derma clinic, and captured image through Android mobile device. The needed data for this study are the sample images of Acne and Boil both as training dataset and test data. Training and test data will be used in the process of skin disease detection and classification using the Bag of Features Algorithm. This study used the combined Speed-Up Robust Features (SURF) algorithm for features extraction. These extracted features from the training dataset will be use to compare to the features of the test data coming from the actual captured image. K-Means clustering to cluster the extracted features that will be used to create a visual dictionary and LIBSVM for classifying kind of skin disease that the person has to avoid self-diagnosing and misunderstanding the early stage symptoms of the disease, which is common here in Philippines. This study offers a high speed prediction. The expected output from this study is the predicted type of skin disease does the person has. It will also produce a confidence result in percentage. With the use of improved BOF algorithm, this study can classify the type of skin disease accurately.
Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment is associated with decreases in cell proliferation and histone modifications (2011)

These results suggest the negative consequences of chemotherapy on brain function and that anti-cancer drugs can adversely affect the self-renewal potential of neural progenitor cells and also chromatin remodeling in the hippocampus. The significance of our findings lie on the possible usefulness of animal models in addressing the clinical phenomenon of 'chemobrain.'
Hydrogenation of aromatic compounds catalyzed by sulfided CoO-MoO/sub 3//. gamma. -Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ (1982)

Hydrogenation of aromatic compounds catalyzed by sulfided CoO-MoO/sub 3//..gamma..-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ was investigated with batch and flow reactors at 275 to 350/sup 0/C and pressures near 100 atm. The reactants included benzene, biphenyl, dibenzothiophene, naphthalene, 2-phenylnaphthalene, and benzo(b)naphtho(2,3-d)thiophene. The reactivity for ring saturation was about an order of magnitude greater for the latter three ((substituted) naphthalenes) than for the others ((substituted) benzenes). Sulfur in a reactant molecule slightly increased the reactivity of a neighboring ring for hydrogenation. Dibenzothiophene hydrogenation was not inhibited by H/sub 2/S, but biphenyl hydrogenation was moderately inhibited by H/sub 2/S, and dibenzothiophene hydrogenolysis was strongly inhibited by H/sub 2/S. These and other results suggest that the reactant to be hydrogenated is ..pi..-bonded at exposed Mo cations, where H/sub 2/S undergoes weak competitive adsorption and bases like acridine undergo strong competitive adsorption. 22 references, 2 figures, 1 table.
Identification and characterization of the tolQRA genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1996)

The tolQ, tolR, and tolA genes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO were cloned using degenerate oligonucleotide PCR primers designed based on conserved transmembrane regions of Escherichia coli TolQ and TolR and E. coli and Pseudomonas putida ExbB and ExbD. The resulting PCR product was used as a probe to isolate a 6.5-kb DNA fragment containing P. aeruginosa tolQ, tolR, and tolA. The nucleotide sequence of a 2.9-kb DNA fragment containing the tolQ, tolR, and tolA genes was determined. The DNA sequence predicts TolQ to be a 25,250-Da protein exhibiting 53% identity to E. coli TolQ. TolR is predicted to be a 15,788-Da protein, sharing 38% identity with the E. coli TolR protein. The P. aeruginosa tolA sequence predicts a 37,813-Da protein with 27% identity to the E. coli TolA. The P. aeruginosa TolQRA proteins were expressed in E. coli minicells. Analysis of plasmid-encoded tolQ::lacZ and tolA::lacZ promoter fusions in E. coli indicated that these genes are expressed at different levels, suggesting transcription from different promoters. Transcriptional analysis of the tol genes in P. aeruginosa revealed that the tolQ and tolR genes are cotranscribed as an approximately 1.5-kb transcript and that tolA is transcribed from its own promoter as an approximately 1.2-kb transcript. The P. aeruginosa Tol proteins were functionally unable to complement E. coli tol mutants, although P. aeruginosa TolQ was able to complement the iron-limited growth of an E. coli exbB mutant. Introduction of the tolQRA genes in the tol-like mutant PAO 1652 restored pyocin AR41 killing, indicating that the Tol proteins are involved in the uptake of pyocin AR41 in P. aeruginosa. Attempts to inactivate the chromosomal copy of the tolA or tolQ gene in the parent strain PAO proved to be unsuccessful, and we propose that inactivation of these genes in P. aeruginosa results in a lethal phenotype.
Autoimmune hearing loss. (1989)

Tissue nonspecific antibodies may give an idea about the etiopathogenesis of the inner ear disease. They are of some prognostic and therapeutic value. They are routinely tested in most inner ear patients. On the other hand, inner ear specific autoantibodies do exist. Their diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic significance are still unclear. Cellular immunity is tested only in selected cases based upon the clinical picture and the results of humoral immunity testing. It needs whole fresh blood as well as facilities not available in all laboratories. Their main role seems to be in providing solid basis for cortisone therapy justification. Our therapeutic concept proved to be promising in some cases. Immune-mediated inner ear disorders do not form a separate clinical entity. We would rather add immune mediation to the different causes postulated for the various inner ear disorders, as a plausible explanation for a certain percentage of the group categorized as idiopathic of unknown etiology.
A 5-bit 1 Gsample/s two-stage ADC with a new flash folded architecture (2007)

A 5-bit 1 GSample/s two-stage ADC is designed and simulated in TSMC 0.18-μm CMOS technology. The new architecture combines the characteristics of flash, subranging and folding ADC. The analog front-end of this work is the same as that of a typical flash ADC. By replacing folding amplifier with the current-mode multiplexer (MUX), cyclic thermometer code, the digital output of folding ADC, is obtained and frequency multiplication effect is avoided. Besides, the slow switching of the reference voltage range is also avoided. The number of the comparators is reduced to 16, and it is 32 typically. Operating at 1 GSample/s, the ENOB is 4.92 and 4.71 bit at input frequency 10 and 500 MHz, respectively. This ADC consumes 63mW from a 1.8 V supply, achieving FOMs of 2.4 pJ/conversion-step at 1 GSample/s.
SWEAT RESPONSES IN THE AGED (1976)

The sweating responses to thermal stimulation and to the intradermal injection of acetyl choline or methacholine were measured in 28 men and 18 women aged 70 and over and were compared with the responses in young control subjects of both sexes. There was found to be a marked reduction in the sweating activity of the majority of aged men in comparison with the younger age groups and the body temperature threshold for the onset of sweating was increased. The reduced response and elevated threshold were even more pronounced in aged females. There is considerable variability in response in different subjects and at different bodily sites. Impairment of thermoregulatory function due to diminished or absent sweating is thought to be one of the factors responsible for increased mortality in the elderly population during heat-waves.
DC and AC scanning thermal microscopy using micro-thermoelectric probe (2014)

A scanning thermal microscope working in passive mode is described. This tool uses a thermocouple probe and is presented as a thermal imaging system. The surface temperature distribution of a thermal micro-component is presented. We point out the capacity of our system to perform surface temperature images under conditions for which most of usual techniques cannot operate. The thermal microscope is insensitive to optical surface parameters, can operate from ambient to 1000K and allow measuring DC and AC temperature components.
Nonvolatiles of Commercial Lime and Grapefruit Oils Separated by High-Speed Countercurrent Chromatography (2006)

The nonvolatile fractions of cold-pressed peel oils of Key and Persian lime as well as grapefruit were separated by high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HS-CCC). In addition to the isolation of the main coumarins, psoralens and polymethoxyflavones, a number of minor constituents were enriched and successfully characterized by GC-MS and HPLC-UV. 5,7,8-Trimethoxycoumarin and the cyclical acetals of oxypeucedanin hydrate with citral were determined as new nonvolatile trace constituents of lime oils and confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. The citral oxypeucedaninyl acetals were found particularly in Key lime oil type A, which as a result of the juice-oil contact, is exposed to acidic conditions during industrial processing. Some of the confirmed minor constituents, such as pabulenol, isooxypeucedanin, and oxypeucedanin methanolate in lime as well as auraptenol in grapefruit, may have been generated by hydrolysis-sensitive precursors during CCC separation or their respective industrial processing techniques.
