Real-time 3D rotation smoothing for video stabilization (2014)

We propose two real-time motion smoothing algorithms for video stabilization using a pure 3D rotation motion model with known camera projection parameters. Both proposed algorithms aim at smoothing 3D rotation matrix sequences in a causal way. The first algorithm smooths the 3D rotation sequences in a way similar to 1st-order IIR filtering. The second algorithm uses sequential probabilistic estimation under a constant angular velocity model. These two algorithms are generalized from classical 2D motion smoothing algorithms. We exploit the manifold structure of the rotation matrices so that the proposed algorithms directly smooth the 3D rotation sequences on the manifold. In addition, we introduce a simple projection step in order to guarantee that no black borders intrude into the stabilized video frames. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithms are able to effectively stabilize video sequences and outperform their 2D counterparts with less jitter and distortion.
Deep x-ray lithography processing for batch fabrication of thick polymer-based antenna structures (2010)

Deep x-ray lithography is applied for the first time to fabricate polymer-based antenna structures with different portions of ceramic contents. To produce successful and viable antenna structures, three different methods are proposed using positive and negative tone resists. In the first method the structures are lithographically fabricated avoiding an intermediate molding step using SU-8 as a photosensitive resist filled with fine ceramic powder with particles in the submicron range. In the second and third methods a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) mold is first fabricated by x-ray lithography, and then SU-8/MMA mixed with the high ceramic powder content is injected into the mold. In these methods a final step of crosslinking for SU-8 and polymerization for MMA is also required. Optimized fabrication parameters allow the production of high quality antenna structures as thick as 2.3 mm. X-ray lithography capabilities in fabrication of antennas and other passive microwave components with special features reinforce the idea of fabricating integrated passive microwave circuits along with active circuits using this emerging technology.
Effect of coherent strain on hydrogenic acceptor levels in In<i>y</i>Ga1−<i>y</i>As/Al<i>x</i>Ga1−<i>x</i>As quantum well structures (1990)

The biaxial strain produced in lattice-mismatched epitaxy can have a substantial effect on the valence band structure. Theoretical results are presented for a hydrogenic acceptor in a quantum well under tensile and compressive strain. The acceptor level energy is a strong function of strain and could be used as a signature for the effect of strain on the valence band structure. Experimental studies are carried out on compressively strained InyGa1−yAs/ AlxGa1−xAs quantum well structures and the acceptor level energy is determined by photoluminescence measurements. Good agreement is found with the experiments.

New Brownmillerite Solid Electrolytes (1993)

A series of new brownmillerite solid electrolytes of composition have been synthesized and incorporated into small laboratory fuel cells. Ionic conductivities for both the phases were measured and conductivities up to at 600°C were observed. An activation energy for ionic conduction of 0.35 eV was measured for the phase. This value for the activation energy is unusually low relative to a comparison with the ionic conductivity for this phase and also when compared to the activation energies of similar compounds. These observations support the premise that brownmillerite solid electrolyte phases have potential for achieving high ionic conductivity.
Optical Absorption Study of the Biotin−Avidin Interaction on Colloidal Silver and Gold Particles (1998)

The biotin−avidin reaction is well studied and is often used as a prototypical interaction in the development of immunoassays. In this paper, this reaction is studied on the surface of colloidal silver and gold particles as a first step in the development of a sol-based assay. More specifically, silver and gold colloidal particles were biotinylated by self-assembly of a biotin disulfide molecule, and the reaction of the surface-modified colloidal particles with avidin molecules was followed using optical absorption spectroscopy. The specific interaction of avidin, a tetrameric protein, with biotin leads to cross-linking of the colloidal particles (“flocculation”) and a consequent growth of a long wavelength absorption peak. The degree of flocculation was quantified using a semiempirical flocculation parameter, and the dependence of this parameter on the extent of biotinylation of the colloidal particle surface as well as the concentration of avidin in solution was studied to determine the optimum working conditions of the sol. The silver sol required electrostatic stabilization of the biotin-capped particles through the simultaneous incorporation of a charged bifunctional molecule, 4-carboxythiophenol, in the capping monolayer while the gold sol was stable with biotin capping. Both biotinylated silver and gold sols showed a visible color change on addition of avidin. However, changes in the optical absorption spectra were more marked for the silver sol.
A Power-Line Interference Canceler Based on Sliding DFT Phase Locking Scheme for ECG Signals (2014)

A power-line interference (PLI) removal method is proposed based on a previously published sliding discrete Fourier transform (SDFT) phase locking scheme (PLL), which extracts the nonstationary sinusoids from the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The proposed PLI canceler consists of SDFT PLL as a vital element, which can track the variation in center frequency of the PLI either 50 or 60 Hz. The PLI canceler involves the adaptive sampling frequency control in which the sampling frequency of SDFT filter is adaptively adjusted according to the center frequency variation of the interference. Since the in-phase and quadrature components of SDFT filter can provide instantaneous sinusoidal and cosinusoidal interference signals, the SDFT PLL is capable of tracking amplitude, phase, and frequency of the interference. Additional resonators of different bin indices are augmented with SDFT PLL to handle the dominant odd harmonics of PLI. Furthermore, the SDFT PLL is cascaded with another SDFT bin to eliminate the baseline wander present in the real-time ECG signal. The adaptive PLI canceler based on SDFT PLL offers the tracking capability of variant PLI, attenuation of 40 dB, less acquisition time of 0.2 s for a variant PLI of ±5 Hz, removal of dominant odd harmonics, and baseline wander with expense of sampling frequency. Experimental results prove the efficacy of the proposed method in nonstationary sinusoidal interference extraction. Experimental investigation on SDFT PLL using field programmable gate array demonstrates the feasibility of digital implementation of the proposed algorithm.
Acquired type 2A von Willebrand disease in chronic myelocytic leukemia. (1996)

Acquired von Willebrand disease (vWD) has been described in a few patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML). We present here acquired type 2 vWD associated with CML and provide characterization of an inhibitor to von Willebrand factor (vWF) from this patient. His bleeding time was prolonged. Ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination was abolished whereas botrocetin-mediated aggregation was normal. Multimeric analysis of vWF from patient's plasma showed that larger sizes of multimers were reduced. His past and family histories were negative for bleeding tendency. These results suggested that acquired type 2 vWD was present during his clinical course. The inhibitor was purified by Staphylococcal protein A, suggesting an IgG antibody. Both binding of 125I-vWF to GPIb and platelet agglutination by ristocetin were inhibited by the patient IgG with the concentrations of competing substances necessary to inhibit specific binding by 50% (IC50s) of 260 micrograms/ml and 420 micrograms/ml, respectively. However, the IgG had no effect on these studies mediated by botrocetin. The IgG only reacted with intact vWF and a 39/34 kDa fragment of vWF. These results indicate that the recognition of GPIb binding site(s) on vWF by the IgG is a central pathogenesis of acquired type 2 vWD in this case.
STUDY AND DEVELOP A NEW GRAPHICAL PASSWORD SYSTEM (2008)

Graphical password have been proposed as a possible alternative solution to text-based password, motivated particularly by the fact that humans can remember pictures better than text. The main aim of this project is to study the usability features of the recognition base graphical password methods regarding to general usability features and ISO standard usability features then a comparison study between the usability features and sub features of these methods has been done and finally map all that features and sub features to the existing graphical password methods to get the new usability features can be implemented in the new usable graphical password prototype. A graphical password system framework has been built and divided into two stages, new user and existing user stage, then the system implemented as prototype and an evaluation of the prototype usability features has been conducted by questionnaire survey in the UTM (CASE) and Computer Science Faculty students (Johor), then the user's feedback about the whole system and the usability features of the graphical password prototype results collected and analyzed and all the results percentages are very good which mean that the new graphical password system is acceptable from the usability point view..
Phenolic compounds in oats (2008)

This research project examined how to treat raw oat material for oat-based food products in order to sustain or increase the levels of phenolic compounds. The focus was mainly on the avenanthramides, which are potentially health beneficial bioactive components found exclusively in oats. A proposed enzymatic decrease in avenanthramide levels when non heat-treated milled oats are steeped in water was investigated. The decrease was strongly suggested to be caused by a polyphenol oxidase. Although the avenanthramides are only found in oats, the polyphenol oxidase enzyme that acted on avenanthramides was also found to be present in wheat, barley and rye. The effects of a highly controlled steeping and germination process on levels of phenolic compounds and related enzyme activities in oats were studied. The process resulted in increased levels of avenanthramides and some unknown compounds to various extents depending on cultivar. This increase was suggested to be partly due to enzymatically catalysed de novo biosynthesis. Whether germination was the reason behind elevated levels of avenanthramides in one harvest year compared with another, in the same oat genotypes, were investigated. The differences in avenanthramide levels between the two years could not be explained by preharvest sprouting of the oat grains in the field. The content and location of tricin was studied in various oat samples. Tricin was found to be localised to oat hulls and was detected and quantified in a minority of all oat samples analysed. The overall conclusion was that germination of oats can be a good method to sustain or increase avenanthramides and other potentially health beneficial phenolic compounds. It is important to inactivate the polyphenol oxidase present in oats and other cereal grain ingredients included in oat-based food products, since it may otherwise decrease the levels of avenanthramides in these products. Oat hulls may be a good source of tricin if high-tricin cultivars are chosen.
Stress-Corrosion Cracking Properties of 17-4 PH Steel (1976)

Recent unexpected occurrences of stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) with 17-4 PH structural components indicated a need for improved characterization of the alloy and application of more advanced analytical procedures for reliably predicting structural performance. Accordingly, the purpose of the present studies was to establish systematically the SCC properties of 17-4 PH steel over a wide range of yield strengths and applied cathodic potentials. Six different heat treatments were selected for the SCC studies. The data, when analyzed in terms of ratio analysis procedures, are immediately useful for predictions of service reliability of the steel in marine structures. The results show that 17-4 PH steel is moderately sensitive to SCC at high-strength levels, less sensitive to SCC at intermediate strength levels, and relatively insensitive to SCC in the metallurgically overaged, low yield strength condition. Increased applied cathodic potentials increase the SCC susceptibility of the alloy significantly which strongly suggests the involvement of hydrogen in the SCC mechanism. The minimum specimen thickness required for determining a thickness-independent KIscc for steels by the cantilever method appears to be considerably less than for a standard KIc test.

Echo-planar pediatric imager. (1988)

Practical constraints make it difficult to build large-aperture echo-planar magnetic resonance (MR) imagers. The implementation of a pediatric imager and its performance are described. Spatial resolution and signal-to-noise levels comparable to those of 1982 state-of-the-art MR imagers have been achieved in imaging times of 0.05-0.15 seconds. T1 and T2 information are obtainable in the echo-planar mode. A major issue is that of chemical-shift displacements.
Screw dislocations in GaN: The Ga-filled core model (2001)

First-principles total energy calculations performed for [0001] screw dislocations in GaN with |b|=c indicate that a model with a helical Ga-filled core is more stable than the hollow core model in Ga-rich conditions. This model gives rise to electronic states dispersed throughout the band gap. Such a dislocation is therefore expected to be a very strong center for nonradiative recombination and a pathway for current leakage.
Epilepsy surgery in bifrontal injury from prior craniopharyngioma resections (2013)

Epilepsy surgery in frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) has less favorable seizure-free outcomes than temporal lobe epilepsies. Possible contributing factors include fast propagation patterns and large clinically silent areas which are characteristics of the frontal lobes. Bilateral frontal lobe abnormalities on MRI are another relative contraindication to epilepsy surgery. For example, bilateral encephalomalacia may be a presupposition to bilateral or multifocal epilepsy. The possibility of potential disinhibition with already poor reserves may be another deterrent to consideration for resective epilepsy surgery. As such, conventional surgical approaches to intractable epilepsy with bilateral frontal injury may be limited to palliative procedures like vagus nerve stimulation and corpus callosotomy. We present a case in which the epileptogenic zone was a subset of the acquired, bilateral, cystic encephalomalacia. This iatrogenic injury resulted from two prior craniotomies for excision of craniopharyngioma and its recurrence. Following the initial bilateral and subsequent unilateral, subdural grid- and depth electrode-based localization and resection, our patient has remained seizure-free 2 years after epilepsy surgery with marked improvement in her quality of life, as corroborated by her neuropsychological test scores. Our patient's clinical course is testament to the potential role for resective strategies in selected cases of intractable epilepsy associated with bifrontal injury. Reversal of behavioral deficits with frontal lobe epilepsy surgery such as in this patient provides a unique opportunity to further our understanding of the complex nature of frontal lobe function.
Mechanical Conversion for High-Throughput TEM Sample Preparation (2006)

This paper presents a novel method of direct mechanical conversion from lift-out sample to TEM sample holder. The lift-out sample is prepared in the FIB using the in-situ liftout Total Release™ method. The mechanical conversion is conducted using a mechanical press and one of a variety of TEM coupons, including coupons for both top-side and back-side thinning. The press joins a probe tip point with attached TEM sample to the sample coupon and separates the complete assembly as a 3mm diameter TEM grid, compatible with commercially available TEM sample holder rods. This mechanical conversion process lends itself well to the high through-put requirements of in-line process control and to materials characterization labs where instrument utilization and sample security are critically important.
TREATMENT FOR VARICOSE VEINS (1953)

<h3>To the Editor:—</h3> A recent paper by Biegeleisen in the April 15, 1953, issue of the<i>New York State Journal of Medicine</i>describes that author's experience in the treatment of varicose veins. This report was abstracted in the Aug. 15, 1953, issue ofThe Journal. The author states that "in the absence of proved permanency of cure by surgical means, injection treatment remains the treatment of choice in most cases." This statement is in direct conflict with the reports from leading medical centers throughout the country and, therefore, deserves careful analysis. Recent experimental and clinical investigations have demonstrated that injection therapy is not an effective method of treatment for varicose veins. It is impossible to localize accurately the effects of a sclerosing solution. Even in expert hands, injections may produce allergic reactions, skin sloughs, and deep phlebitis. Kinmonth and Boyd state that histological studies of veins injected with sclerosants indicate
A permanent high speed store for use with digital computers (1954)

A new type of high speed store is proposed for an electronic digital computer using interpretive program techniques. The store is based on the flying spot technique used in television signal generation. The information in the store may be read rapidly but is nonerasable. This store has the advantages of high storage density, good reliability and nonvolatility of information.
The fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) mutation is a strong indicator of superficial bladder cancer with low recurrence rate. (2001)

We analyzed the possible prognostic value of the recently discovered fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) mutations in bladder cancer. A FGFR3 mutation was found in 34 of 53 pTaG1-2 bladder cancers, whereas none of the 19 higher-staged tumors had a mutation (P < 0.0001). In 57 patients with superficial disease followed prospectively by cystoscopy for 12 months, 14 of 23 patients in the wild-type FGFR3 group developed recurrent bladder cancer compared with only 7 of 34 patients in the mutant group (P = 0.004). The recurrence rate per year was 0.24 for the FGFR3 mutant tumors and 1.12 for tumors with a wild-type FGFR3 gene. In addition, FGFR3 mutation status was the strongest predictor of recurrence when compared with stage and grade (P = 0.008). This is the first mutation in bladder cancer that selectively identifies patients with favorable disease characteristics. Our results suggest that the frequency of cystoscopic examinations can be reduced considerably in patients with FGFR3-positive tumors.

Remarkable Magneto-Optical Properties of Europium Selenide Nanoparticles with Wide Energy Gaps (2008)

The enhanced magneto-optical properties of nanoscaled lanthanide chalogenide semiconductors which have a wide energy gap were observed at around 500 nm for the first time. The nanoscaled semiconductors, Eu(1-x)Se nanoparticles 1 (cubic shapes) and 2 (spherical shapes), were synthesized by the thermal reduction of Eu(III) ion with organic ligands containing Se atoms. The resulting Eu(1-x)Se nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, superconducting quantum interference devices magnetometer, and microwave induced plasma atomic emission spectroscopy measurements. The particle grain sizes of 1 and 2 were estimated to be 11 and 20 nm, respectively. The concentration-normalized Veldet constants (the magnitude of the Faraday effect) of Eu(1-x)Se nanoparticles were much larger than those of corresponding bulk EuSe and EuS nanoparticles.
Rotation robust detection of copy-move forgery (2010)

Copy-move tampering is a common type of image synthesizing, where a part of an image is copied and pasted to another place to add or remove an object. In this paper, an efficient algorithm based on the Fourier-Mellin Transform is proposed with features extracted along radius direction. Also, to reduce computational cost, a link processing is introduced instead of hash value counting in the counting bloom filters. Moreover, a vector erosion filter is designed to cluster distance vectors, which is usually achieved through vector counters in existed copy-move detection algorithms. Our experimental results show that the improved algorithm can detect duplicated regions efficiently. Especially, the improved algorithm is robust to duplicated regions of large rotation angle, whereas existed algorithms can only treat slight rotation.
