Light scanning versus mammography in breast cancer detection. (1987)

Transillumination light scanning of the breast was compared with screen-film mammography in a prospective study of 1,110 women referred to an outpatient imaging department. Each method was interpreted independently of the other but with knowledge of physical examination findings. Of 24 biopsy-proved cancers, 14 (58%) were detected with light scanning and 21 (88%) with mammography. The 77 false-positive light scan examinations were attributed to technical factors and the inability of light scanning to distinguish malignant from benign conditions on the basis of imaging features. Of the ten false-negative light scan examinations, two were retrospectively reclassified as positive, but light scans in the other eight cases remained normal in appearance. The authors conclude that transillumination light scanning is not competitive with mammography as a screening method for breast cancer detection. furthermore, they were unable to identify a select subpopulation of women who might benefit from light scanning as an adjunct to mammography.
Boosted Decision Trees and Applications (2013)

Decision trees are a machine learning technique more and more commonly used in high energy physics, while it has been widely used in the social sciences. After introducing the concepts of decision trees, this article focuses on its application in particle physics.
Screening study on hemolysis suppression effect of an alternative plasticizer for the development of a novel blood container made of polyvinyl chloride (2013)

The aim of this study is to identify a plasticizer that is effective in the suppression of the autohemolysis of the stored blood and can be used to replace di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in blood containers. The results of hemolysis test using mannitol-adenine-phosphate/red cell concentrates (MAP/RCC) spiked with plasticizers included phthalate, phthalate-like, trimeliate, citrate, and adipate derivatives revealed that di-isononyl-cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (Hexamoll(®) DINCH), di(2-ethylhexyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-phthalate (DOTP), and diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) exhibited a hemolysis suppression effect almost equal to that of DEHP, but not other plasticizers. This finding suggested that the presence of 2 carboxy-ester groups at the ortho position on a 6-membered ring of carbon atoms may be required to exhibit such an effect. The hemolytic ratios of MAP/RCC-soaked polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheets containing DEHP or different amounts of DINCH or DOTP were reduced to 10.9%, 9.2-12.4%, and 5.2-7.8%, respectively (MAP/RCC alone, 28.2%) after 10 weeks of incubation. The amount of plasticizer eluted from the PVC sheet was 53.1, 26.1-36.5, and 78.4-150 µg/mL for DEHP, DINCH, and DOTP, respectively. PVC sheets spiked with DIDP did not suppress the hemolysis induced by MAP/RCC because of low leachability (4.8-6.0 µg/mL). These results suggested that a specific structure of the plasticizer and the concentrations of least more than ∼10 µg/mL were required to suppress hemolysis due to MAP/RCC.
The Relative Importance of Reliance on Intraword Characteristics and Interword Constraints for Beginning Reading Achievement (1981)

This study investigated the relative importance of use of intraword characteristics and interword relationships for beginning reading achievement. The model for statistical analysis was multivariate multiple regression. Vocabulary and comprehension achievement were dependent variables; IQ was a control variable; using oral reading error analysis, reliance on intraword characteristics was represented by a Graphic Similarity Index and a Sound Similarity Index, and reliance on interword relationships was represented by a Grammatical Relationships Index. The results support the contention that dependence on within-word characteristics is more important for beginning reading success than is reliance on between-word analysis. The findings are related to two contrasting theories of reading instruction.
Subsolubilizing Effects of Alkyl Sulfates on Liposomes Modeling the Stratum Corneum Lipid Composition (1996)

The subsolubilizing interactions of three alkyl sulfates (chain lengths C10, C12, and C14), with liposomes modeling the stratum corneum lipid composition, were investigated. Liposomes were formed from a lipid mixture containing by weight 40% ceramides, 25% cholesterol, 25% palmitic acid and 10% cholesteryl sulfate. The surfactant/lipid molar ratios (Re) and the bilayer/aqueous phase partition coefficients (K) were determined by monitoring the increase in the fluorescence intensity of liposomes due to the 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (CF) released from the interior of vesicles. The free surfactant concentration was always lower than the critical micelle concentration. At the two interaction levels studied (50% and 100% CF release) the tetradecyl sulfate showed the highest ability to release the CF trapped in the liposomes (lowest Re values) and the highest degree of partitioning into the bilayers (highest K values). Whereas stratum corneum liposomes were more resistant to the action of alkyl sulfates than were phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes, the degree of partitioning of these surfactants into stratum corneum bilayers was always greater than that reported for PC ones.
Ultrasonic Spectral Analysis for Beef Sensory Attributes (1994)

ABSTRACT Ultrasonic spectral feature analysis was conducted for measuring beef sensory attributes noninvasively. Spectral features were compared with instrumental texture, chemical and sensory evaluation measures. The most significant (P <0.05) ultrasonic parameter was the number of local maxima for juiciness (ρ=0.49), connective tissue amount (ρ=0.52), flavor intensity (ρ=0.39), percent total collagen (ρ=0.34), and shear force (ρ=0.51). However, the central (resonant) frequency was the most dominant parameter for tenderness (ρ=0.45; P <0.05). Multivariate linear regression models were developed for predicting each palatability attribute. Standard errors of calibration for models were 0.253 for juiciness, 0.745 for muscle fiber tenderness, 0.244 for connective tissue amount, 0.754 for overall tenderness, and 0.224 for flavor intensity. Accuracy of prediction models was not adequate for use as a tool but this approach has potential for nondestructive sensory attribute measurement.
On-line calculation of synchronizing and damping torque coefficients of a synchronous generator (1991)

A method to calculate the synchronizing and damping torque coefficients was implemented on a personal computer and the experimental investigation was conducted on a laboratory system to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results show that the performances of the proposed method are reasonably good. It is confirmed that the method can be used for monitoring the power system dynamic and steady-state stabilities on-line, only by using the data easily obtained from the generator and without knowing any information about the whole system. The calculated data could help the system planner to predict the stability for a future system.
Enhancement of the grafting efficiency of transplanted marrow cells by preincubation with interleukin-3 and granulocyte-macrophage colony- stimulating factor (1991)

To improve the grafting efficiency of transplanted murine hematopoietic progenitors, we briefly preincubated mouse bone marrow cells with interleukin-3 (IL-3) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) ex vivo before their transplantation into irradiated recipients. This treatment was translated into an increase in the seeding efficiency of colony-forming unit-spleen (CFU-S) and CFU-GM after transplantation. Not only was the concentration of CFU-S in the tibia increased 2 and 24 hours after transplantation, but the total cell number and CFU-S and CFU-GM concentrations were persistently higher in IL-3- and GM-CSF-treated groups 1 to 3 weeks after transplantation. In addition, the survival of animals as a function of transplanted cell number was persistently higher in IL-3- and GM-CSF- treated groups compared with controls. The data indicate that the pretreatment of marrow cells with IL-3 and GM-CSF before transplantation increases the seeding efficiency of hematopoietic stem cells and probably other progenitor cells after transplantation. This increased efficiency may be mediated by upward modulation of homing receptors. Therefore, ex vivo preincubation of donor marrow cells with IL-3 and GM-CSF may be a useful tactic in bone marrow transplantation.
Automatic Contour Generation of 4D CT by Deformable Registration (2008)

The purpose of this work is to develop a method of automatic contour generation by deformable registration on four-dimensional CT data. Firstly, a region of interest was manually delineated by a physician on a reference phase. Then deformable registration was implemented to acquire the spatial relationship between different phases. The contour on the reference phase was mapped into all other phases by the output transformation of registration. The improved demons algorithm adds symmetric gradient to the calculation of original deformable force and has smaller registration error. The accuracy of registration plays an important role to the transforming image contours. Application of this approach to 4D CT images shows that displacements of geometrical center of delineated and generated contour are within 2mm and the maximum volume difference is just 1.5ml. The level of accuracy is acceptable for most radiotherapy applications. The robustness and accuracy of this approach show that it is a valuable tool for 4D radiation treatment planning.
Effect of Biofeedback‐Assisted Relaxation on Migraine Headache and Changes in Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity in the Middle Cerebral Artery (1994)

Twenty-three patients with diagnosed migraine headaches were randomly assigned to a biofeedback-assisted relaxation therapy group or to a group who relaxed on their own. The biofeedback trained group decreased pain and medication more than the self relax group. Cerebral blood flow velocity was measured in the middle cerebral artery with transcranial doppler (TCD). The trained group significantly reduced systolic and mean cerebral blood flow velocity on the side with the highest velocity.

We have achieved stable Fourier transform limited single axial mode operation of an unstable resonator Nd:YAG oscillator by injection seeding of an external signal. A detailed theoretical and experimental treatment of axial mode selection via injection seeding is presented. Our study shows that the axial mode selection process in <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Q</tex> -switched lasers via injection seeding is quite different from the frequency locking in CW lasers via injection locking.
Superconducting Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Thin Films Grown by Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition at Different Temperatures (1989)

Superconducting Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O thin films have been prepared on MgO substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition using triphenylbismuth and β-diketonates of Sr, Ca and Cu as source materials. Superconducting properties, surface morphology and crystallinity of the as-deposited films are largely dependent on growth temperature. When the substrate temperature is at 800°C and over, as-deposited films show high c -axis orientation and zero resistance over 70 K. The best results to date, obtained from a film grown at 800°C show the T c onset at 110 K and zero resistance at about 80 K. On the other hand, as the substrate temperature decreases below 800°C, the temperature exhibiting zero resistance and X-ray diffraction intensity are rapidly reduced.

Optimal Pricing and Carbon Emission Abatement Allocation Decisions in Supply Chains With Option Contract (2020)

With the continuous increase of carbon emissions and the deterioration of environment, governments have passed various laws and regulations to force enterprises to take carbon emission abatement measures. As one of the regulations, carbon tax plays an important and positive role in environmental protection. For enterprises, the allocation of carbon emission abatement is a common means to promote emission reduction. In this paper, under the uncertain market demand, the option contract is adopted to study the retailer's optimal retail price and order quantity, as well as the manufacturer's optimal ratio of total carbon emission abatement and production quantity under the carbon tax. In addition, We analyze the optimal decisions and expected profits of supply chain members with respect to the carbon tax, total carbon emission abatement and option prices by analytical and numerical study, and find that (1) when the carbon tax increases, the optimal ratio of total carbon emission abatement and the optimal retail price increase, while the optimal order and production quantity decrease, which is contrary to the situation of the total carbon emission abatement; (2) when the option prices increase, the optimal retail price increases while the ratio of total carbon emission abatement and the optimal order and production quantity decrease; (3) the expected profits of the manufacturer and retailer show the same trend with the increase of carbon tax and total carbon emission abatement, while have the opposite trend with the increase of option prices.
Gesture Control Using Single Camera for PC (2016)

In the past decade, more stress has been given to user interface since technology is made available to every human being. This includes advancement of touch technology over buttons and many more gesture control mechanisms. These technologies enable even a laymen to better use the day-to-day technologies like cell phone and personal computer easily with navigation. This work focuses on one such technology that can be implemented on a PC (Personal Computer). We use single web camera as input device to recognize gestures of hand. Some of these gestures include controlling the mouse cursor, the clicking actions, and few shortcuts for opening specific applications. This work includes Face Recognition model as an replacement for default lock screen. The Face Recognition model uses Viola and Jones method for detection of face and PCA (Principal Component Analysis) for recognition and identification of algorithms.
Optical true time delay for phased-array antennas: demonstration of a quadratic White cell (2002)

We have demonstrated a proof-of-concept optical device that can produce true time delays for a phased-array radar. This device combines White cells of differing lengths with a spatial light modulator to select between the paths on multiple bounces of a given beam. The approach can handle thousands of light beams and produce hundreds of different delays. The number of delays is proportional to the square of the number of bounces.

Absolute external luminescence quantum efficiency of zinc oxide (2008)

We report on the measurement of the absolute external luminescence quantum efficiency of various ZnO samples using a miniature integrating sphere fitted into a cryostat. Even the absolute luminescence quantum efficiencies per spectral interval are directly accessible. Measurements have been carried out on high quality bulk samples and different commercially available ZnO powders from 8K up to room temperature. Activated processes lead to an overall decrease in the efficiency with temperature. All efficiencies are considerably below unity, making the identification of the luminescence decay time with the radiative life time very questionable.

Multiple Reflection Raman Tubes for Gases (1951)

The efficiency of a Raman tube for gases can be increased by multiple reflections from concave mirrors. With a four-mirror arrangement, the intensity of the scattered light entering the spectrograph is increased by the factor 1/(1−R), where R is the reflectivity of the mirrors. A two-mirror Raman tube is described, which gave a nearly fourfold increase in intensity in the ultraviolet.

Versatile high-level synthesis of self-checking datapaths using an on-line testability metric (2003)

There have been several recent attempts to include duplication-based on-line testability in behaviourally synthesized designs. In this paper, on-line testability is considered within the optimisation process of iterative, cost function-driven high-level synthesis, such that on-line testing resources are inserted automatically without any modification of the source HDL code. This involves the introduction of a metric for on-line testability. A variation of duplication testing (namely inversion testing) is also used, providing the system with an additional degree of freedom towards minimising hardware overheads associated with test resource insertion. Considering on-line testability within the synthesis process facilitates fast and efficient design space exploration, resulting in a versatile high-level synthesis process, capable of producing alternative realisations according to the designer's directions.
Dynamic Mobility with Single-Wheel Configuration (1999)

This paper presents a novel concept of mobility that provides dynamic stability and rapid locomotion. The concept, called Gyrover, is a single-wheel, gyroscopically stabilized robot that can be considered as a single wheel actuated by a spinning flywheel attached to a two-link manipulator at the wheel bearing and drive motor. The spinning flywheel acts as a gyroscope to stabilize the robot, and it can be tilted to achieve steering. This configuration conveys significant advantages over multiwheel, statically stable vehicles, including good dynamic stability and insensitivity to attitude disturbances, high maneuverability, low rolling resistance, ability to recover from falls, and amphibious capability. In this paper, the authors present the robot concept, three prototypes of the design, and system implementation. The authors study the robot’s nonholonomic constraints and the stabilizing effect of the flywheel on the system through simulation and experiments.
