Industry trends in fulfillment, finishing and distribution (2004)

Today's printing industry is in a state of transition. It has become an industry that no longer solely relies on print for sustainability. Thus, printers as well as print services providers are incorporating different strategies into their business models to provide the types of services that customers now require in order to achieve their own business goals. In an effort to better understand the impact of these emerging trends, a research study was undertaken through the Printing Industry Center (CIAS) at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). The primary research objectives for this project were: To clearly understand the changing business dynamics in the printing industry. To build on a previous RIT Printing Industry Center (CIAS) research study, which identified the nature and variety of services offered by digital and traditional printers (Pellow & Sorce, 2003). To identify current and future trends in finishing, fulfillment, and distribution services. To determine: a. the degree to which fulfillment is offered as a value-added service b. the types of fulfillment services that are typically offered, and c. whether companies that offer this service are realizing a profit. To add to the current base of research on the topic. The research sample consisted of databases from the Finishing Resources Inc. and the Binding Industries of America (BIA). Finishing Resources Inc. has 980 members, 74.5% commercial printers and 25.5% trade finishers. BIA has 115 members, of which 50% are trade finishers and 50% are equipment suppliers. The survey, which was administered via the Internet, consisted of five sections: 1) demographic profile, 2) industry business trends in finishing and distribution, 3) value-added services, 4) fulfillment services, and 5) comments
Antisense inhibitory effect: A comparison between 3′‐partial and full phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotides (1999)

Phosphorothioate (PS) antisense oligonucleotides are currently used to inhibit many cell functions both in vivo and in vitro. However, these modified oligos provide reasonable sequence specificity only within a narrow concentration range. To overcome such a limitation we synthesized antisense oligomers, partially phosphorothioated, targeted against the human N-myc mRNA. We utilized such modified oligomers in a human neuroblastoma cell line where the N-myc gene expression was very high, and compared them to full phosphorothioate oligonucleotides. Both full PS and partial PS antisense oligos produced a maximum reduction in target mRNA after 6 h of treatment. They were able to maintain a good level of inhibition for 20 h only at high concentration. While partial PS oligos produced a dose dependent and sequence specific inhibition of N-myc mRNA, full PS molecules suffer from some disadvantages at the highest concentration used. Our results showed that partial PS molecules were capable of reducing gene expression showing a greater sequence specificity over a far broader concentration range. For this reason we conclude that partial PS antisense oligos, with respect to full PS antisense oligos, might be particularly useful for studying gene function. J. Cell.

The challenges of transitioning from linear to high-order overlay control in advanced lithography (2007)

In the lithography section of the ITRS 2006 update, at the top of the list of difficult challenges appears the text "overlay of multiple exposures including mask image placement". This is a reflection of the fact that today overlay is becoming a major yield risk factor in semiconductor manufacturing. Historically, lithographers have achieved sufficient alignment accuracy and hence layer to layer overlay control by relying on models which define overlay as a linear function of the field and wafer coordinates. These linear terms were easily translated to correctibles in the available exposure tool degrees of freedom on the wafer and reticle stages. However, as the 45 nm half pitch node reaches production, exposure tool vendors have begun to make available, and lithographers have begun to utilize so called high order wafer and field control, in which either look up table or high order polynomial models are modified on a product by product basis. In this paper, the major challenges of this transition will be described. It will include characterization of the sources of variation which need to be controlled by these new models and the overlay and alignment sampling optimization problem which needs to be addressed, while maintaining the ever tightening demands on productivity and cost of ownership.
The influence of deflection and neck compliance on the impact dynamics of a Hybrid III headform (2009)

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of impact deflection and neck compliance on the Gadd severity index (GSI), peak linear acceleration, and peak angular acceleration during a front impact to a Hybrid III head using a pneumatic linear impactor. Impact deflection was performed by translating the headform laterally and was shown to be effective at reducing the linear and angular accelerations as well as the GSI. Neck compliance was altered using one Hybrid III 50th percentile neck and two modified Hybrid III necks. A less compliant neck increased linear acceleration but decreased angular acceleration and GSI. When compared with estimated injury thresholds, the results demonstrated that an increase in the lateral translation or a decrease in the neck compliance resulted in a significant decrease in the risk of injury as reflected by peak linear and angular accelerations and the GSI.

Exploring Game Performance in the National Basketball Association Using Player Tracking Data (2015)

Recent player tracking technology provides new information about basketball game performance. The aim of this study was to (i) compare the game performances of all-star and non all-star basketball players from the National Basketball Association (NBA), and (ii) describe the different basketball game performance profiles based on the different game roles. Archival data were obtained from all 2013-2014 regular season games (n = 1230). The variables analyzed included the points per game, minutes played and the game actions recorded by the player tracking system. To accomplish the first aim, the performance per minute of play was analyzed using a descriptive discriminant analysis to identify which variables best predict the all-star and non all-star playing categories. The all-star players showed slower velocities in defense and performed better in elbow touches, defensive rebounds, close touches, close points and pull-up points, possibly due to optimized attention processes that are key for perceiving the required appropriate environmental information. The second aim was addressed using a k-means cluster analysis, with the aim of creating maximal different performance profile groupings. Afterwards, a descriptive discriminant analysis identified which variables best predict the different playing clusters. The results identified different playing profile of performers, particularly related to the game roles of scoring, passing, defensive and all-round game behavior. Coaching staffs may apply this information to different players, while accounting for individual differences and functional variability, to optimize practice planning and, consequently, the game performances of individuals and teams.

Mechanical Response of Titanium Aluminide (TiAl3) (2010)

Abstract : Compression tests have been performed on TiAl3 at strain rates from 0.00003-500/s. All tests were done at room temperature and were designed to investigate the stress-strain response of the material. In addition to these tests elastic constants were calculated from ultrasound measurements. The results were used to find an approximate failure stress for the material.
One-Trip Sand-Control / Liner Hanger / Big-Bore Completion System (2006)

Abstract This paper introduces a revolutionary completion system which, by design, replaces conventional TCP perforating and gravel packing through a technique using hydraulic pressure only. This technology also eliminates formation damage caused by perforating and reduces skin values. It is a new-generation, screenless sand-control completion system. During the development of this technology, several versions were tested, leading to the system offered today. A telescoping conduit containing sand-control media comprising stainless steel beads was chosen for its durability, erosion resistance and plugging resistance. The system contains no explosives whatsoever; therefore many issues pertaining to this were eliminated. A JIP (Joint Investment Project) team consisting of three major operators, a service company and an independent tool manufacturer was formed with several criteria to meet. The team was posed with the task of developing a system whereby formation damage was eliminated and skin values were greatly reduced. Conventional perforating is the major cause of formation damage, so the primary goal was to eliminate this and still be able to achieve connectivity with virgin reservoirs and maintain full bore production and/or injection rates. Also, one-trip capability and user-friendliness was of primary concern as with all new technologies; if this system were to cost operators more throughout the completion of any given well, it would have no merit in the marketplace. Therefore the system was designed around conventional liner and cementing techniques, as these are of vital importance in the success of a quality completion.
Non‐reference image quality assessment and natural scene statistics to counter biometric sensor spoofing (2018)

Non‐reference image quality measures (IQM) as well as their associated natural scene statistics (NSS) are used to distinguish real biometric data from fake data as used in presentation/sensor spoofing attacks. An experimental study shows that a support vector machine directly trained on NSS as used in blind/referenceless image spatial quality evaluator provides highly accurate classification of real versus fake iris, fingerprint, face, and fingervein data in generic manner. This contrasts to using the IQM directly, the accuracy of which turns out to be rather data set and parameter choice‐dependent. While providing very low average classification error rate values for complete training data, generalisation to unseen attack types is difficult in open‐set scenarios and obtained accuracy varies in almost unpredictable manner. This implies that for each given sensor/attack set‐up, the ability of the introduced methods to detect unseen attacks needs to be assessed separately.
The Relationship between Negative Career Thoughts & Emotional Intelligence (2008)

Relationships between overall emo tional intelligence (EI) as measured by the Bar-On EQi and negative career thoughts as measured by the Career Thoughts Inventory were investigated in a population of career undecided nonstudent adults. More specifically, the factors of EI most related to negative career thinking were examined, as were the type of negative career thoughts most associated with EI. Findings re vealed a significant inverse relationship between total EI and negative career thought scores. Adaptability and Intrap ersonal factors were the subscales ac counting for most of the variation in the career thoughts/EI relationship. Deci sion making-confusion was most nega tively correlated with EI scores. The results suggest that assessment of a client’s EI levels is important in career decision-making counseling.
Cloning and characterization of the abortive infection genetic determinant abiD isolated from pBF61 of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis KR5 (1995)

A 6.3-kb fragment from pBF61 in Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis KR5 was cloned and found to confer an abortive phage infection (Abi+) phenotype exhibiting a reduction in efficiency of plating and plaque size for small isometric- and prolate-headed bacteriophages sk1 and c2, respectively, and to produce a 10-fold decrease in c2 phage burst size. Phage adsorption was not significantly reduced. An open reading frame of 1,098 bp was sequenced and designated abiD. Tn5 mutagenesis confirmed that abiD was required for the Abi+ phenotype.
Syntheses, Structures, and Magnetic Properties of Diphenoxo-Bridged Cu<sup>II</sup>Ln<sup>III</sup> and Ni<sup>II</sup>(Low-Spin)Ln<sup>III</sup> Compounds Derived from a Compartmental Ligand (Ln = Ce−Yb) (2010)

Syntheses, characterization, and magnetic properties of a series of diphenoxo-bridged discrete dinuclear MIILnIII complexes (M = Cu or Ni, Ln = Ce−Yb) derived from the compartmental Schiff base ligand, H2L, obtained on condensation of 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde with trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, are described. Single crystal X-ray structures of eight CuIILnIII compounds (Ln = Ce (1), Pr (2), Nd (3), Sm (4), Tb (7), Ho (9), Er (10), and Yb (12)) and three NiIILnIII (Ln = Ce (13), Sm (16), and Gd (18)) compounds have been determined. Considering the previously reported structure of the CuIIGdIII (6) compound (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 2005, 1500), a total of twelve structures are discussed/compared in this study. Four types of composition are observed in the CuIILnIII complexes: [CuIILLnIII (NO3)3(H2O)] (1−3: Ln = Ce−Nd), [CuIILSmIII(NO3)3]·CH3COCH3 (4), [CuII(H2O)LLnIII(NO3)3] (5: Ln = Eu; 6: Ln = Gd), and [CuIILLnIII(NO3)3] (4A: Ln = Sm; 7−12: Ln = Tb−Yb). On the other hand, the NiIILnIII complexes are characterized to have two types of composition: [NiIILLnIII(H2O)(NO3)3] (13−15: Ln = Ce−Nd) and [NiIILLnIII(NO3)3]·0.5CH3COCH3 (16−24: Ln = Sm−Yb). Among twelve X-ray structures, seven belong to three different isomorphous sets (CuIICeIII (1), CuIIPrIII (2), CuIINdIII (3), and NiIICeIII (13); CuIITbIII (7), CuIIHoIII (9), CuIIErIII (10), and CuIIYbIII (12); NiIISmIII (16) and NiIIGdIII (18)), whereas space group/unit cell parameters of two others (CuIISmIII (4) and CuIIGdIII (6)) are of different types. The lanthanide(III) centers in CuIICeIII (1), CuIIPrIII (2), CuIINdIII (3), and NiIICeIII (13) complexes are eleven-coordinated, while the lanthanide(III) centers in other compounds are ten-coordinated. As evidenced from the dihedral angle (δ) between the CuO(phenoxo)2 and LnO(phenoxo)2 planes, variation in the extent of planarity of the bridging moiety in the CuIILnIII compounds takes place; the ranges of δ values are 0.8−6.2° in the 4f1−7 analogues and 17.6−19.1° in the 4f8−13 analogues. The CuIIGdIII (6) compound exhibits ferromagnetic interaction (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 2005, 1500). The nature of the magnetic exchange interaction in the CuIILnIII complexes has been understood by utilizing the empirical approach; the NiIILnIII complexes have been used as references. The metal centers in the EuIII complex are uncorrelated, while other 4f1−6 analogues (CeIII, PrIII, NdIII, and SmIII) exhibit antiferromagnetic interaction. Among the higher analogues (4f7−13), only YbIII exhibits antiferromagnetic interaction, while interaction in other analogues (GdIII, TbIII, DyIII, HoIII, ErIII, and TmIII) is ferromagnetic. An important aspect of the present study is the measurement of the magnetic susceptibility of the unblocked samples as well as on blocking the samples with grease to avoid powder reorientation, if any. Comparison of the two sets of data reveals significant difference in some cases.
High-speed InGaAs/InAlAs MQW Mach-Zehnder-type optical modulator (1993)

Recent progress in optical amplifiers has eliminated the loss limitation in optical-transmission systems. Therefore the maximum transmission length is mainly limited by the waveform deterioration due to the chirping in the modulated light. Semiconductor MQW external modulators are expected to overcome this problem because of their potential for low chirp and high-speed modulation and for optoelectronic integration.1,2 The Mach-Zehnder-type (MZ) modulator has been proposed as one of the most promising since it achieves zero or negative chirping, which maximizes the transmission distance.5

To obtain the fast address access time and low power consumption, an improved ECL buffer and two-stage sensing scheme were adopted. The SRAM was fabricated with a 0.8-mm double-poly-Si double-metal BiCMOS technology. The RAM has an ECL 10 K interface and operates at a supply voltage of -5.2 V. An access time of 7 ns has been obtained. Active 680 mW for t4 mode. The cell size is 5.4 mmt7.2 mm (38.88 mm2); the die size is 5.46 mmt16.16 mm (88.24 mm2)
Product Length, Dye Choice, and Detection Chemistry in the Bead-Emulsion Amplification of Millions of Single DNA Molecules in Parallel (2009)

The amplification of millions of single molecules in parallel can be performed on microscopic magnetic beads that are contained in aqueous compartments of an oil-buffer emulsion. These bead-emulsion amplification (BEA) reactions result in beads that are covered by almost-identical copies derived from a single template. The post-amplification analysis is performed using different fluorophore-labeled probes. We have identified BEA reaction conditions that efficiently produce longer amplicons of up to 450 base pairs. These conditions include the use of a Titanium Taq amplification system. Second, we explored alternate fluorophores coupled to probes for post-PCR DNA analysis. We demonstrate that four different Alexa fluorophores can be used simultaneously with extremely low crosstalk. Finally, we developed an allele-specific extension chemistry that is based on Alexa dyes to query individual nucleotides of the amplified material that is both highly efficient and specific.

It should be emphasized that The Annals will always strive to remain at the forefront of pharmacotherapy. The success of the journal, however, will continue to depend directly on the support of authors, referees, and subscribers. I have been fortunate in having had opportunities to work with many authors and readers in the past, and I look forward to working with you again in my new capacity as editor.
Multiresolution approach to automatic detection of spherical particles from electron cryomicroscopy images (2002)

Describes an approach for automatic detection and extraction of spherical virus particle projection images from electron cryomicroscopy images. High resolution virus structural studies require combination of thousands of low contrast projection images to generate the resulting three-dimensional reconstruction. Thus, effective and efficient automatic methods are needed for the detection of the numerous low contrast particles. The authors' detection approach combines a Fuzzy C-Mean classification preprocessing step to identify and correct spatial image variation with multiresolution image decomposition to increase image contrast. Following preprocessing, particles are detected using template matching.
The Evolutionary History of the P Family of Transposable Elements (1994)

Similar to other transposable genetic elements, P elements occasionally exhibit non-Mendelian inheritance because of their ability to move, from one genomic site in their host species to another, during certain phases of their life cycle. The biological range of this capacity for transposition is almost always restricted to new sites within the same nuclear genome, but exceptionally It appears that interspecific horizontal transfer of P elements can occur. Although the P family appears to have had an ancient origin, its present natural distribution appears to be patchy and phylogenetically restricted to a limited number of Dipteran species. The most likely explanation of the observed restriction is the requirement of transposition for a host-encoded factor whose range is itself similarly restricted. Occasional horizontal transfer of P elements into a new host species, together with the normal mode of vertical transfer, may be the mechanism that ensures the survival of this, and other transposable element families, over long periods of evolutionary time.
