A Fine-grain Parallel Execution Model for Homogeneous/Heterogeneous Many-core Systems (2018)

Computing systems have undergone a fundamental transformation from single core devices to devices with homogeneous/heterogeneous many-cores connected within a single or multiple chips. However, while the core count per chip continues to increase dramatically, the available on-chip memory per core is only getting marginally bigger. How to successfully explore parallelism and deliver scalability is a major research issue and we have successfully attacked three main problems: First, it is well known that, in homogeneous shared-memory many-core systems, traditional coarse-grain multithreading models are reaching their limits. We have thus proposed and designed a fine-grain event-driven multithreading execution model that will deliver the parallelism required to efficiently operate with dependence-heavy applications in shared-memory systems. By performing finer-grained and hierarchical synchronization, even "almost embarrassingly parallel" workloads can obtain large performance improvement. Second, it has been recognized that, in heterogeneous High Performance Computing systems, the performance depends on how well the scheduler can allocate workloads to the appropriate computing devices and make communication and computation to overlap efficiently. With different types of resources integrated into one system, the complexity of the scheduler correspondingly increases. Moreover, when the applications have varying problem sizes on different heterogeneous resources, the complexity of the scheduler grows accordingly. Our proposed profile-based Iterative Dynamic Adaptive Work-Load balance scheduling approach (IDAWL) combines offline machine learning with online scheduling offers a general approach to efficiently utilize, in a dynamic fashion, available heterogeneous resources.Finally, for those applications where the computation can be naturally expressed as streams, our Stream-based fine-grain program execution model, was developed to explore parallelism of hierarchical heterogeneous resources. It can exploit two levels (coarse- and fine-grain) of parallelism, efficiently utilizing locally available heterogeneous resources to construct streaming pipeline stages and minimize data movement to enhancing data locality.
Limitations of TiSi2 as a source for dopant diffusion (1988)

The application of TiSi2 as a dopant diffusion source for boron and arsenic was studied. The TiSi2 layers were formed by the usual salicide process and doped by ion implantation. Diffusion was carried out by various furnace and rapid thermal processing steps. Using secondary ion mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction, clear evidence for compound formation between Ti and the two dopant species is found. This leads to low dopant concentrations at the silicide/silicon interface, very poor efficiency of the diffusion source, and unacceptably high contact resistivities.
Patient Clustering Improves Efficiency of Federated Machine Learning to predict mortality and hospital stay time using distributed Electronic Medical Records (2019)

Electronic medical records (EMRs) supports the development of machine learning algorithms for predicting disease incidence, patient response to treatment, and other healthcare events. But insofar most algorithms have been centralized, taking little account of the decentralized, non-identically independently distributed (non-IID), and privacy-sensitive characteristics of EMRs that can complicate data collection, sharing and learning. To address this challenge, we introduced a community-based federated machine learning (CBFL) algorithm and evaluated it on non-IID ICU EMRs. Our algorithm clustered the distributed data into clinically meaningful communities that captured similar diagnoses and geological locations, and learnt one model for each community. Throughout the learning process, the data was kept local on hospitals, while locally-computed results were aggregated on a server. Evaluation results show that CBFL outperformed the baseline FL algorithm in terms of Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC AUC), Area Under the Precision-Recall Curve (PR AUC), and communication cost between hospitals and the server. Furthermore, communities' performance difference could be explained by how dissimilar one community was to others.
Knockdown of Malic Enzyme 2 Suppresses Lung Tumor Growth, Induces Differentiation and Impacts PI3K/AKT Signaling (2014)

Mitochondrial malic enzyme 2 (ME2) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of malate to yield CO2 and pyruvate, with concomitant reduction of dinucleotide cofactor NAD(+) or NADP(+). We find that ME2 is highly expressed in many solid tumors. In the A549 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line, ME2 depletion inhibits cell proliferation and induces cell death and differentiation, accompanied by increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and NADP(+)/NADPH ratio, a drop in ATP, and increased sensitivity to cisplatin. ME2 knockdown impacts phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression, leading to AKT inhibition. Depletion of ME2 leads to malate accumulation and pyruvate decrease, and exogenous cell permeable dimethyl-malate (DMM) mimics the ME2 knockdown phenotype. Both ME2 knockdown and DMM treatment reduce A549 cell growth in vivo. Collectively, our data suggest that ME2 is a potential target for cancer therapy.
An Exceptionally Stable, Porphyrinic Zr Metal–Organic Framework Exhibiting pH-Dependent Fluorescence (2013)

A reaction between a Zr(IV) salt and a porphyrinic tetracarboxylic acid leads to a metal-organic framework (MOF) with two types of open channels, representing a MOF featuring a (4,8)-connected sqc net. The MOF remains intact in both boiling water and aqueous solutions with pH ranging from 1 to 11, a remarkably extensive pH range that a MOF can sustain. Given its exceptional stability and pH-dependent fluorescent intensity, the MOF can potentially be applied in fluorescent pH sensing.

Method for retinal vessel detection and diameter measurement (2004)

Since retinal vessel detection and measurement plays an important role in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, a lot of efforts have been made in recent years. In this paper, we propose an efficient method for vessel detection and diameter measurement which incorporates with edge detection, path searching, and matched filtering. Firstly, Gaussian- Laplacian filter and zero crossing detection are applied to retinal image to get an initial edge-map. Then, for any vessel of interest, its centerline and diameter can be accurately obtained by using region growing, thinning, path searching, and matched filter. The robustness and efficiency of the proposed method have been demonstrated by our extensive experiments. Another advantage is that it can process retinal image in real-time speed. The detection and measurement results lead us to determine more parameters for further study of vascular diseases.
Millimeter-wave and terahertz integrated circuit antennas (1992)

A comprehensive review of integrated circuit antennas suitable for millimeter and terahertz applications is presented. A great deal of research was done on integrated circuit antennas in the last decade, and many of the problems associated with electrically thick dielectric substrates, such as substrate modes and poor radiation patterns, have been understood and solved. Several antennas, such as the integrated horn antenna, the dielectric-filled parabola, the Fresnel plate antenna, the dual-slot antenna, and the log-periodic and spiral antennas on extended hemispherical lenses, which have resulted in excellent performance at millimeter-wave frequencies, are covered in detail. A review of the efficiency definitions used with planar antennas is included.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Disposal of Radioactive Waste in Deep Silicate Rock (1972)

A method for disposing of nuclear-reactor wastes by in-situ incorporation in molten silicate rock is presented. In this method, liquid wastes are injected into a deep underground chimney and allowed to self-boil. The resulting steam is processed at the ground surface and recycled into a closed system. When waste addition is terminated, the chimney is allowed to boil dry, thereby solidifying the waste. The heat generated by the radioactive waste then melts the surrounding rock, which dissolves the waste. Finally, the rock refreezes, trapping the radioactivity in an insoluble rock matrix deep underground. This method has significant environmental and economic advantages over previously proposed methods.
Identification and characterization of a novel insertion sequence, IS<i>1106</i>, downstream of the <i>porA</i> gene in B15 <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> (1992)

Examination of Neisseria meningitidis strains associated with endemic meningococcal disease demonstrated differences in the number of copies of a repetitive sequence. Characterization of a copy of this repetitive sequence present in B15 strains has revealed the presence of a novel insertion sequence (IS1106) located within a complex repetitive region downstream of the gene for the major surface antigen (porA). IS1106 has a length of 1137 bp and is flanked by 36bp inverted repeats. Two open reading frames (ORF1 and ORF2) are present in opposite strands in codon-codon register with ORF2 entirely located within ORF1. The predicted protein from ORF1 demonstrates homology with the 5A protein of IS5 (Kroger and Hobom, 1982). Strains from two independent outbreaks of B15 meningococcal disease in the UK were found to contain the same genomic deletion removing a copy of IS1106 downstream of the porA gene.

Robust multiple estimator systems for the analysis of biophysical parameters from remotely sensed data (2005)

An approach based on multiple estimator systems (MESs) for the estimation of biophysical parameters from remotely sensed data is proposed. The rationale behind the proposed approach is to exploit the peculiarities of an ensemble of different estimators in order to improve the robustness (and in some cases the accuracy) of the estimation process. The proposed MESs can be implemented in two conceptually different ways. One extends the use of an approach previously proposed in the regression literature to the estimation of biophysical parameters from remote sensing data. This approach integrates the estimates obtained from the different regression algorithms making up the ensemble by a direct linear combination (combination-based approach). The other consists of a novel approach that provides as output the estimate obtained by the regression algorithm (included in the ensemble) characterized by the highest expected accuracy in the region of the feature space associated with the considered pattern (selection-based approach). This estimator is identified based on a proper partition of the feature space. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been assessed on the problem of estimating water quality parameters from multispectral remote sensing data. In particular, the presented MES-based approach has been evaluated by considering different operational conditions where the single estimators included in the ensemble are: 1) based on the same or on different regression methods; 2) characterized by different tradeoffs between correlated errors and accuracy of the estimates; 3) trained on samples affected or not by measurement errors. In the definition of the ensemble particular attention is devoted to support vector machines (SVMs), which are a promising approach to the solution of regression problems. In particular, a detailed experimental analysis on the effectiveness of SVMs for solving the considered estimation problem is presented. The experimental results point out that the SVM method is effective and that the proposed MES approach is capable of increasing both the robustness and accuracy of the estimation process.
[Intra-operative imaging of the ureter with sodium fluorescein]. (1988)

Surgical interventions on the abdominal, pelvic and retroperitoneal organs are frequently complicated by damage or alteration of the ureter. To prevent intraoperative damage of the ureter the authors suggest a method of visual identification of the ureter by luminescence analysis. A 10% solution of natrium fluorescein (14-20 mg/kg) was used as the fluorochrome. After experimental validation the method was used successfully in 12 patients.
Genetic optimization of hybrid clustering algorithm in mobile wireless sensor networks (2018)

Purpose This paper aims to provide a prolonging network lifetime and optimizing energy consumption in mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs). MWSNs have characteristics of dynamic topology due to the factors such as energy consumption and node movement that lead to create a problem in lifetime of the sensor network. Node clustering in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) helps in extending the network life time by reducing the nodes’ communication energy and balancing their remaining energy. It is necessary to have an effective clustering algorithm for adapting the topology changes and improve the network lifetime. Design/methodology/approach This work consists of two centralized dynamic genetic algorithm-constructed algorithms for achieving the objective in MWSNs. The first algorithm is based on improved Unequal Clustering-Genetic Algorithm, and the second algorithm is Hybrid K-means Clustering-Genetic Algorithm. Findings Simulation results show that improved genetic centralized clustering algorithm helps to find the good cluster configuration and number of cluster heads to limit the node energy consumption and enhance network lifetime. Research limitations/implications In this work, each node transmits and receives packets at the same energy level throughout the solution. The proposed approach was implemented in centralized clustering only. Practical implications The main reason for the research efforts and rapid development of MWSNs occupies a broad range of circumstances in military operations. Social implications The research highly gains impacts toward mobile-based applications. Originality/value A new fitness function is proposed to improve the network lifetime, energy consumption and packet transmissions of MWSNs.
The Effects of Unanimity on Behavior Conformity (2010)

Some scholars have suggested that the Supreme Court may wield greater influence when the justices are more united in their rulings. The Court may be most powerful when it issues unanimous rulings and least powerful when the Court is sharply divided. This expectation is inconsistent with my theory of Supreme Court power because the divisions on the Court are unrelated to the institutional context of the ruling and the popularity of the ruling. Nonetheless, in this appendix I test the relationship between unanimity on the Court and behavior conformity to the Court's rulings in order to test this alternate theory.
ADHD, lead exposure and prevention: how much lead or how much evidence is needed? (2008)

. Under this per-spective, genes can be used to gauge thetrue strength of environmental influencesmore accurately, by showing how strongthese effects are in the portion of the pop-ulation that is genetically liable to the dis-order. A third influence is the recognitionthat disorders like ADHD are sufficientlycostly to society and difficult to treatonce they bloom that investments in pre-vention are well justified if only an effec-tive and ethically acceptable preventivestrategy can be identified. This confluence of concerns has begunto move identification of environmentaleffects up the research agenda forADHD. Identifying such preventionopportunities relies as much on targetingthe relevant environments as the relevantgenes. It opens up important areas ofinquiry, such as toxicogenomics, toexamine how toxins affect the genome tocreate disease.With regard to prevention strategies,such environmental targets fall into atleast two major classes. In the first classare those injurious experiences under thecontrol of individual parents, oftenalready known to be harmful. Examplesin this class are prenatal cigarette andalcohol exposure (in the case of ADHDand related conditions
Management of adnexal mass. (2006)

All diagnostic modalities showed trade-offs between sensitivity and specificity, but the available literature does not provide sufficient detail on relevant characteristics of study populations to allow confident estimation of the results of alternative diagnostic strategies. Although modeling studies may prove useful in evaluating diagnostic algorithms, further work is needed to explore the implications of uncertainty about the natural history of ovarian cancer.
A new technology for crystalline silicon thin film solar cells on glass based on laser crystallization (2002)

A technology is proposed to prepare crystalline silicon thin film solar cells on glass as a superstrate. In a first step an a-Si:H layer is deposited by PECVD onto borosilicate glass. By scanning an Ar/sup +/-laser beam, this layer is crystallized with grains several 10 /spl mu/m in size and is at the same time p/sup +/-doped by boron from the glass so that a transparent electrode layer is formed. In the next step further a-Si is deposited and repeatedly irradiated by an excimer laser during deposition. In this way, a p-absorber layer is grown epitaxially from the underlying electrode which is acting as a seed layer. Finally, by excimer laser doping, a n/sup +/-emitter is fabricated to result in a p/sup +/-p-n/sup +/-layer sequence. Onto the silicon, a metal is deposited as the second electrode acting as a back reflector. Results on the characterization of the different layers are presented with the emphasis on crystallographic and chemical properties. Challenges in preparing the proposed layer sequence are discussed.

In this paper, the posture and tracking control with obstacle avoidance is presented for autonomous overhead crane with rotary motion. At first, a rotating mechanics is proposed and formularized. The next, an optimal controller is designed for each axis to avoid between the obstacles by rotating and traveling. The preview control is implemented in order to synchronize the rotation axis with traveling axis. Furthermore, the improvement of control performance is achieved by time-varying controller to minimize the superficial error between the reference path and actual path. The effectiveness of proposed method is shown through experiments and simulation.
