Design and implementation of a fully reconfigurable all-optical crossconnect for high capacity multiwavelength transport networks (1996)

The motivations and application framework for the introduction of all-optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission and routing techniques in the transport network are presented. The requirements and functionalities of all-optical transparent routing nodes are discussed, and the physical architecture of a crossconnection node is proposed, to meet these requirements. Optical devices suitable for the node implementation are compared, and first demonstrations of crossconnection function at data rates up to 10 Gb/s are given. These results bring experimental evidence of the high potential of all-optical routing nodes for actual implementation of multiwavelength transport networks.

El totemismo en durkheim y freud (2001)

espanolEl totemismo ha sido senalado tanto por Durkheim como por Freud, como la expresion primaria de las religiones, las cuales contienen a su vez el modelo de la vida social. Por ello realizamos un analisis comparativo entre ambos autores para explicitar sus coincidencias y divergencias, poniendo especial atencion en el rol que brindan al totemismo en la relacion individuo – sociedad. EnglishAs much Durkheim as Freud the totem has been pointed out like the primary expression of religions, which contain the pattern of the social life. For this reason we carry out it between both a comparative analysis to explain their coincidences and divergences. We pay special attention on the role that the authors bring to the totem in the relationship individual – society.

Fire Detection Algorithm Based on Improved YOLOv5 (2021)

Aiming at the problems of low accuracy and slow speeding of manual and sensor detection in existing farm fire detection. This paper proposed a real-time fire detection algorithm based on improved yolov5s. The algorithm based on YOLOv5s network. First, the SE channel attention mechanism was improved by fusing maximum pooling and average pooling to enhance the receptive field, and improved the detection accuracy of small targets and blurred smoke boundaries. Secondly, Ghost model was used to reduce the dimension of the volume layer of the target recognition network, in order to reduce the number of model parameters and convolution computation, thus improve the detection rate.Experiments showed that the improved yolov5s real-time fire detection model can automatically identify and detect flames, smoke in different stages and forms. Finally, Automatic smoke, flame recognition and detection were realized. The detection results of average mAP@0.5 value was 80.6%, which improved 3.2% compared with the original model. And the targets detection results of speeding was 31FPS. The test results showed that the real-time fire detection models of different combustion stages and different forms were improved. Improved model had higher detection accuracy, the calculation speed was faster, and the timeliness was stronger, which improved the efficiency of fire detection, and reduced the loss caused by insufficient manpower and the detection effect of sensors, improved work efficiency.

High molecular weight poly(vinylene carbonate) and derivatives (1962)

Abstract The preparation, structure and physical properties of poly(vinylene carbonate), polyhydroxymethylene, and polyacetoxymethylene are discussed. Vinylene carbonate was prepared by chlorinating ethylene carbonate in carbon tetrachloride solution, dehydrohalogenating the product, and refluxing the bulk monomer with small weight percentages of sodium borohydride. Monomer prepared and purified in this way gave very high molecular weight polymer by free‐radical initiation. Poly(vinylene carbonate) films were converted to polyhydroxymethylene films by hydrolysis with sodium methylate in methanol. Drawn polyhydroxymethylene films were crystalline and oriented and had good tensile properties. Polyacetoxymethylene was prepared by treatment of polyhydroxymethylene with acetic anhydride in molten urea.
Mutation at minisatellite locus DYF155S1: Allele length mutation rate is affected by age of progenitor (2002)

A father/son material consisting of 1071 pairs was screened for de novo allele length mutation in locus DYF155S1. Six hundred of these pairs were also analyzed in locus DYF155S1 to detect de novo mutations in the minisatellite variant repeat (MVR)-code not resulting in a length change ("boundary switch" mutations). A modified MVR-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was used for this purpose. Twenty-seven de novo allele length mutations and eight "boundary switch" mutations were detected indicating mutation frequencies of approximately 2.5% and 1.3%, respectively. The combined mutation rate for MVR-code mutation is approximately 3.8%. There is a significant increase in mutation rate with paternal age (p = 0.049) in allele length mutations. In the present material, the mutation rate in the oldest age group is three times that of the youngest age group. A similar age relationship is not observed in "boundary switch" mutations. A comparison between progenitors and the other fathers in the material revealed no obvious association between mutation rate and allele length or modular structure (variation in repeat sequence). More than 75% of the length mutations involved the gain or loss of one repeat only. This finding as well as the observed paternal age influence on mutation rate, suggests replication slippage to be the major mutation mechanism in length mutations. However, in one particular case, an allele length mutant revealed rearrangements with direct duplication of repeats at distant sites within the repeat array, and with both loss and gain of repeats. Such complex structural changes could indicate that some of the mutants might arise from sister chromatide exchange. The mutation rate of "boundary switch" mutations is by far higher than would be expected if these mutations are two independent one-step allele length mutations. A different age distribution of "boundary switch" mutations than of allele length mutations also argue against such a hypothesis. Together this could indicate that "boundary switches" are products of another mutation mechanism than the one-step allele length mutations.

The Biologic Behavior of Hydroxyapatite Implanted into the Maxillofacial Skeleton (1990)

Eleven patients who previously had undergone elective facial osteotomy and in whom blocks of porous hydroxyapatite were implanted into osteotomy gaps later consented to open biopsy of the implant material. A total of 24 biopsies were harvested at a mean time of 10.2 months following implantation. Gross anatomic findings were recorded at the time of biopsy. Specimens were harvested from the zygomatic buttress of the maxilla (12), the piriform buttress of the maxilla (4), the maxillary interdental premolar region (2), and the anterior mandible (6). Histologic sections were examined undecalcified using a modified trichrome stain. Eight of the 11 patients were followed radiographically for a minimum of 24 months. In the absence of infection, there was rapid fibrovascular ingrowth and, provided there was contact with host bone, bone ingrowth. This was observed in 21 of 24 biopsy specimens. The extent of bone ingrowth, as judged qualitatively, was highly variable and did not correlate with the time interval from implantation, anatomic site, or surface area of bone-implant interface. A healing process involving an osteoid phase of bone maturation and suggestive of continued net bone production was consistently found. The gross anatomic, radiographic, and histologic findings are discussed and provide further insight into the biologic behavior of porous block hydroxyapatite implanted into the maxillofacial skeleton.

Hybrid mesoporous silicates: A distinct aspect to synthesis and application for decontamination of phenols (2015)

Water pollution due to organic compounds is of great concern and efforts are being made to develop efficient adsorbents for remediation of toxic pollutants. The development of new functionalized materials with increased performance is growing to meet the regulatory standards in response to public concerns for environment. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the influence of synthesis parameters like the reaction temperature, the surfactant-to-silica ratio and reaction time on the structural and textural properties of novel ordered mesoporous silica hybrids. In order to understand the effect of different synthesis parameters, all the prepared materials were systematically characterized by various analytical, spectroscopic and imaging techniques such as XRD, BET, TG etc. It was deduced from these studies that the synthesis temperature influence greatly the structural order whereas both the P104/Na<sub>2</sub>SiO<sub>3</sub> molar ratio and reaction time found to influence textural properties significantly. However, under optimized experimental condition, we could achieve the functionalized silica hybrids that offers successful incorporation of -Amino, -Glucidoxy, -Methacrylate, -Vinyl and -Phenyl moieties indicated by FTIR peaks at 793 cm<sup>-1</sup>, 2870 cm<sup>-1</sup>, 796 cm<sup>-1</sup>, 1630 cm<sup>-1</sup> and 954 cm<sup>-1</sup>. XRD studies reveal orthorhombic and tetragonal symmetry for the hybrids and these materials were found to be thermally stable due to incorporation of organic moiety in silica matrix. Functionalized silica hybrids then applied as adsorbents demonstrated efficient and comparable removal of 4-aminophenol and p-nitrophenol in 20 min facilitated through organic moiety. Detailed modeling of the sorption using equilibrium and kinetic isotherms has been carried out to get an insight into the transport process. The adsorption isotherms of phenol derivatives are well-fitted with the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin Isotherms and the adsorption kinetics follows the pseudo second order model. The modeling confirms that the uptake is a chemisorption process.
동아시아에서 한류의 확산과 문제점: 문화와 민족주의를 중심으로 (2007)

본 연구는 최근 동아시아 국가들 사이에서 확산된 한류 현상을 문화와 민족주의 관점에서 재조명하고, 한류가 지니는 정치경제적 한계와 사회문화적 문제점들을 심층적으로 분석함으로써 한류에 관한 인식의 지평을 넓히는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 한류 현상을 정치적으로 어떻게 이해할 것이며, 한류의 실체는 무엇인지, 그리고 한류 현상이 갖는 정치경제적 의미는 무엇이며, 그 한계와 문제점은 무엇인지에 대해 포괄적으로 고찰하였다. 연구 결과, 한국인들에게 있어서 한류 현상은 문화 그 자체로 인식되지 못하고, 일종의 정치경제적 수단으로 활용되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 일부 기업과 정부에 의해 주도된 지나친 상업주의와 자문화 중심주의, 그리고 민족주의가 가미된 국가개입주의 등이 한류에 내재되면서 일부 동아시아 국가들의 배타적 민족주의를 자극하게 되었으며, 정책적 견제와 저항을 유발하였고, 나아가 문화적 확산과 융합을 어렵게 만드는 요인으로 작용하였다. 따라서 한류 현상의 지속적인 발전과 확산을 위해서는 정치경제적인 색채를 배제하고, 한류가 가진 문화적 순수성을 되살릴 수 있는 방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
Conditions for the start and spread of crown fire (1977)

Some theory and observations are presented on the factors governing the start and spread of crown fire in conifer forests. Crown fires are classified in three ways according to the degree of dependence of the crown phase of the fire on the ground surface phase. The crown fuel is pictured as a layer of uniform bulk density and height above ground. Simple criteria are presented for the initiation of crown combustion and for the minimum rates of spread and heat transfer into the crown combustion zone at which the crown fire will spread. The theory is partially supported by some observations in four kinds of conifer forest.
The Design of a Reliable Remote Procedure Call Mechanism (1982)

In this correspondence we describe the design of a reliable Remote Procedure Call mechanism intended for use in local area networks. Starting from the hardware level that provides primitive facilities for data transmission, we describe how such a mechanism can be constructed. We discuss various design issues involved, including the choice of a message passing system over which the remote call mechanism is to be constructed and the treatment of various abnormal situations such as lost messages and node crashes. We also investigate what the reliability requirements of the Remote Procedure Call mechanism should be with respect to both the application programs using it and the message passing system on which it itself is based.
The renal channelopathies (2014)

Specific channels permit movement of selected ions through cellular membranes, and are of vital importance in a number of physiological processes, particularly in excitable tissues such as nerve and muscle, but also in endocrine organs and in epithelial biology. Disorders of channel proteins are termed channelopathies, and their importance is increasingly recognised within medicine. In the kidney, ion channels have critical roles enabling sodium and potassium reuptake or excretion along the nephron, in magnesium homeostasis, in the control of water reabsorption in the collecting duct, and in determining glomerular permeability. In this review, we assess the channelopathies encountered in each nephron segment, and see how their molecular and genetic characterisation in the past 20-30 years has furthered our understanding of normal kidney physiology and disease processes, aids correct diagnosis and promises future therapeutic opportunities.

Adaptive Masked Proxies for Few-Shot Segmentation (2019)

Deep learning has thrived by training on large-scale datasets. However, in robotics applications sample efficiency is critical. We propose a novel adaptive masked proxies method that constructs the final segmentation layer weights from few labelled samples. It utilizes multi-resolution average pooling on base embeddings masked with the label to act as a positive proxy for the new class, while fusing it with the previously learned class signatures. Our method is evaluated on PASCAL-$5^i$ dataset and outperforms the state-of-the-art in the few-shot semantic segmentation. Unlike previous methods, our approach does not require a second branch to estimate parameters or prototypes, which enables it to be used with 2-stream motion and appearance based segmentation networks. We further propose a novel setup for evaluating continual learning of object segmentation which we name incremental PASCAL (iPASCAL) where our method outperforms the baseline method. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/MSiam/AdaptiveMaskedProxies.
Exposure Fusion: A Simple and Practical Alternative to High Dynamic Range Photography (2008)

Abstract We propose a technique for fusing a bracketed exposure sequence into a high quality image, without converting to High dynamic range (HDR) first. Skipping the physically based HDR assembly step simplifies the acquisition pipeline. This avoids camera response curve calibration and is computationally efficient. It also allows for including flash images in the sequence. Our technique blends multiple exposures, guided by simple quality measures like saturation and contrast. This is done in a multiresolution fashion to account for the brightness variation in the sequence. The resulting image quality is comparable to existing tone mapping operators.
Late-emerging reading disabilities. (2003)

Literacy, language, and cognitive skills were compared for 35 4th5th graders with early-identified reading disabilities (RD), 31 with late-identified RD (first seen after 3rd grade), and 95 normally achieving students. Late-identified reading deficits were heterogeneous; some children were weak in both comprehension and word-level processing, whereas others had deficiencies in 1 component of reading but were unimpaired in the other. Although most reading skill deficits were about as severe for late- as for early-identified RD, and profiles of associated characteristics were similar, few of the former had yet been identified by their schools. Third-grade achievement, retrospectively examined, had been higher for the group with late-identified RD, suggesting that their reading difficulties were not just late identified but actually late emerging. A great deal of knowledge and understanding about children’s reading disabilities has been amassed over the past few decades. The focus of most research has been early-emerging difficulties that are identified prior to the fourth grade. As noted by Chall (1983), however, there also occurs a smaller “second wave” of students who appear to undergo a “fourth-grade slump” in reading achievement. There has been almost no investigation of the nature and severity of these less typical reading disabilities (RD) that emerge after the primary grades. In this study, we compared the reading and spelling abilities and literacy-related skills of children with early- versus late-emerging RD. In practice, during the elementary and middle school years, there is typically an increasing emphasis on reading comprehension in curricula, instruction, and assessments (Anderson, Hiebert,
Cell cycle arrest and apoptosis responses of human breast epithelial cells to the synthetic organosulfur compound p-methoxyphenyl p-toluenesulfonate. (2008)

These results suggest that p-methoxyphenyl p-toluenesulfonate acts on multiple signaling pathways leading to growth inhibition and activation of mechanisms of cell death selectively affecting survival of breast cancer cells. Thus, p-methoxyphenyl p-toluenesulfonate is the first member of a new class of tumor-specific chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of breast cancer.
