Robust High-Speed Triangulation-Based Ranging With Orthonormal Data Projections (1988)

This paper describes improvements to the triangulation range-sensing technique. The improvements greatly increase the range-data collection rate, while simultaneously providing for improved data in-tegrity and a low-cost implementation. These benefits are achieved by using some unique abilities of the Charge Injection Device (CID) image sensor. A laser-based investigation system has been built around a personal computer and used to evaluate the effectiveness of the improvements. Range data results are shown for the proposed application of printed-circuit board inspection.
Direct fabrication of rigid microstructures on a metallic roller using a dry film resist (2007)

This paper presents a novel method to fabricate a metallic roller mold with microstructures on its surface using a dry film resist (DFR). The DFR is laminated uniformly onto the curvy surface of a copper roller. After that, the micro-scale photoresist on the surface of the roller can be patterned by non-planar lithography using a flexible film photomask, followed by ferric chloride wet etching to obtain the desired microstructures. This method overcomes the uniformity issue of photoresist coating on rollers, and solves the molds sliding problem during the embossing process because the microstructures are fabricated directly on the roller surface. Furthermore, the rigid metallic roller mold has excellent strength durability and temperature endurance, which can be used in roller hot embossing with a high embossing pressure. The fabricated microstructure roller mold is used as a mold in the hybrid extrusion roller embossing process and successfully fabricates uniform micro-scale prominent line arrays on PC films. This result proves that the roller fabricated by this method can be successfully used in roller embossing for microstructure mass production. The excellent flatness of dry film resist laminating is the key in this fabrication process. The flexible film photomask can be easily designed using CAD software; this roller fabrication method enhances the design flexibility and reduces the cost and time.
DEVELOPMENT OF AGNOSTIC MOBILE APPLICATIONS WITH CROSS- PLATFORM CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORMS (2014)

Smart phones became part and parcel of our life, where mobility provides a freedom of not being bounded by time and space. In addition, number of smartphones produced each year is skyrocketing. However, this also created discrepancies or fragmentation among devices and OSes, which in turn made an exceeding hard for developers to deliver hundreds of similar featured applications with various versions for the market consumption. \nThis thesis is an attempt to investigate whether cloud based mobile development platforms can mitigate and eventually eliminate fragmentation challenges. During this research, we have selected and analyzed the most popular cloud based development platforms and tested integrated cloud features.\nThis research showed that cloud based mobile development platforms may able to reduce mobile fragmentation and enable to utilize single codebase to deliver a mobile application for different platforms.
SPIDER -- A CAD System for Modeling VLSI Metallization Patterns (1987)

A system of CAD programs, called SPIDER, for ensuring adequate current-carrying capacity in VLSI circuits has been developed. The approach is hierarchical, and it automates and simplifies many of the tasks previously performed by the circuit designer. The system converts transient current waveforms into dc electromigration equivalent values, and includes an algorithm for determining the line width adjustments necessary for meeting specified median-time-to-failure (MTF) requirements. SPIDER also computes voltage drops with respect to a reference node and calls upon an optimization algorithm for correcting violations of a voltage drop specification.
Of Mice and Humans: Are They the Same?—Implications in Cancer Translational Research: TABLE 1 (2010)

Animal models have been instrumental in elucidating key biochemical and physiologic processes of cancer onset and propagation in a living organism. Most importantly, they have served as a surrogate for patients in the evaluation of novel diagnostic and therapeutic anticancer drugs, including radiopharmaceuticals. Experimental tumors raised in rodents constitute the major preclinical tool of new-agent screening before clinical testing. Such models for oncologic applications today include solid tumors raised in syngeneic fully immunocompetent hosts and human xenografts induced in immunodeficient mouse strains, and tumors spontaneously growing in genetically engineered mice represent the newest front-line experimental modality. The power of these models to predict clinical efficacy is a matter of dispute, as each model presents inherent strengths and weaknesses in faithfully mirroring the extremely complex process of human carcinogenesis. Differences in size and physiology, as well as variations in the homology of targets between mice and humans, may lead to translational limitations. Other factors affecting the predictive power of preclinical models may be animal handling during experimentation and suboptimal compilation and interpretation of preclinical data. However, animal models will remain a unique source of in vivo information and the irreplaceable link between in vitro studies and our patients.
MOLECULAR SIEVES ADSORB IODINE-131 FROM AIR (1957)

Consideration has been given to the problem of separating and estimating U, Po, nnd alpha (in order to provide analytical methods for their routine determination in conformity with the draft agreement on the Harwell effluent). Uranium may be ether extracted from solutions of NH/sub 4/NO/sub 3/ as salting out agent at pH1 with an efficiency of 98 to 99%. The deposition of Po on Ag foil is a specific method for this element and under prescribed conditions similar extraction efficiencies may be obtained. An adequate separation from all other alpha emitters is obtained and methods for the estimation of these are discussed. A comprehensive scheme involving a preliminary activity concentration step has been elaborated. U, Po, and the majority of the other alpha emitters are precipitated as their tannin complexes at pH8 using Ca(OH)/sub 2/, the calcium-tannin complex acting as a carrier. That part of the activity remaining in solution is determined as in the total activity method, previously described. From the solution of the precipitate, Po is first separated by electrodeposition, and then U by ether extraction in the presence of NH/sub 4/NO/sub 3/. The majority of the other alpha emitters still in the aqueous NH/sub 4/NO/submore » 3/ solution are collected on a second calcium-tannin precipitate, while the small part remaining in solution after this operation is obtained by direct evaporation.

Modeling of the Wear Mechanism during Chemical‐Mechanical Polishing (1996)

A model based on statistical method and elastic theory is presented to describe the wear mechanism of the silicon wafer surface during chemical‐mechanical polishing. This model concerns the effects of applied pressure and relative velocity between the pad and the wafer on the removal rate during polishing and is capable of delineating the role of the mechanical properties of the slurry particles and the films to be polished. The removal rate is dependent on the elastic moduli of slurry particle and polished film. Comparisons with experimental data demonstrate the validity of the model for predicting relative removal rate for various dielectric films.
Intent-based cloud service management (2018)

Currently, cloud operators mainly rely on their skills and experience when making decisions about cloud resources in accordance with cloud users' service requirements. However, such manual decisions tend to be costly and error- prone given the huge number of cloud service orders, wide variety of requirements, and complexity of cloud configuration options. In this work, we take cloud users' service requirements as intent and propose an Intent-based Cloud Service Management (ICSM) framework to automate or support operators' decision-making process for cloud resources. We have realized a proof-of-concept ICSM implementation in a lab environment and evaluated its performance.
A statistical model of the human core-temperature circadian rhythm (2000)

We formulate a statistical model of the human core-temperature circadian rhythm in which the circadian signal is modeled as a van der Pol oscillator, the thermoregulatory response is represented as a first-order autoregressive process, and the evoked effect of activity is modeled with a function specific for each circadian protocol. The new model directly links differential equation-based simulation models and harmonic regression analysis methods and permits statistical analysis of both static and dynamical properties of the circadian pacemaker from experimental data. We estimate the model parameters by using numerically efficient maximum likelihood algorithms and analyze human core-temperature data from forced desynchrony, free-run, and constant-routine protocols. By representing explicitly the dynamical effects of ambient light input to the human circadian pacemaker, the new model can estimate with high precision the correct intrinsic period of this oscillator ( approximately 24 h) from both free-run and forced desynchrony studies. Although the van der Pol model approximates well the dynamical features of the circadian pacemaker, the optimal dynamical model of the human biological clock may have a harmonic structure different from that of the van der Pol oscillator.
The Stanford - ESA Integrity Diagram: A New Tool for The User Domain SBAS Integrity Assessment (2007)

ABSTRACT: A new diagram for SBAS integrity validation is presented in this paper. The proposed concept is a modification of the well known Stanford plot, where a 2D histogram shows the relationship of position errors against protection levels for a set of measurements using an all-in-view satellite selection. The method consists of a new representation (known here as the Stanford-ESA Integrity Diagram) where, at each sample time and given location, the solutions from all possible combinations of satellites from four to all-in-view are displayed, instead of only the all-in-view one. In the case of MIs, the geometries associated to each epoch are labeled with different symbols and colors. The diagram allows for easy identification of the different clusters and assessment of the time correlation of the events. Real measurement results are presented here showing that EGNOS integrity margins remain safe under this very exigent criterion, which is certainly a very positive result.
Properties and Localisation of Rabbit Alveolar Macrophage5'-Nucleotidase (1980)

5'-Nucleotidase has been demonstrated in rabbit alveolar macrophages. This enzyme has been found to be localised on the plasma membrane as have alkaline phosphodiesterase I and leucyl-2-naphthylamidase. Heterogeneity of the plasma membrane has been evidenced by the behaviour of these enzymes during isopycnic centrifugation.
Effect of an Inhaled Glucocorticosteroid on Airway Mucosal Blood Flow in Mild Asthma (2000)

We determined airway mucosal blood flow (Qaw) and FEV (1) before and after inhaled albuterol in 19 glucocorticosteroid (GS)-naive patients with mild intermittent asthma, and assessed the effects of a 2-wk course of fluticasone propionate (FP; 440 microg daily) on these parameters. Twelve healthy nonsmokers served as controls. Baseline Qaw was 55.5 +/- 0.7 microl/min/ml (mean +/- SE) in the asthmatic subjects and 44.2 +/- 0.7 microl/min/ml in the controls; the respective FEV(1) values were 2.8 +/- 0.2 L and 3.4 +/- 0.2 L (p < 0.01 for both parameters). Albuterol increased Qaw by 27 +/- 3% in the control subjects (p < 0.01) but had no effect on Qaw in the asthmatic subjects; it increased FEV (1) by 7 +/- 1% and 6 +/- 1% in the two groups, respectively. Qaw decreased to 49.2 +/- 0.8 microl/min/ml (p < 0.05 versus baseline), and the Qaw responsiveness to albuterol was restored ( +21 +/- 2%; p < 0.05) in the asthmatic subjects after FP. Eleven asthmatic subjects stopped using FP at this time; 2 wk later, their Qaw returned to baseline (55.2 +/- 0.9 microl/min/ml) and they lost the Qaw responsiveness to albuterol. Mean ( +/- SE) FEV(1) and FEV(1) responsiveness to albuterol were not affected by FP. The GS-sensitive increase in Qaw and its hyporesponsiveness to albuterol in asthmatic subjects may be consequences of airway inflammation.

Image processing to overcome channel capacity limitations in telemicroscopy (1996)

Telemicroscopy is the central tool to establish a net for telepathology services. To operate such a net in an economical and general available manner the public phone net is selected as communication link. To overcome some of the limitations imposed by the small channel capacity of today's ISDN phone nets with respect to image transmission, an improved handling of the image data stream is mandatory. A flexible, variable and self adapting strategy to compress and reduce image data according to the activity of the operator is described. A further reduction of the data stream is achieved by an autofocus procedure avoiding the transmission of unfocused image data during the focusing process. The remote operator can orient himself in the slide by means of a macro-image with a telecursor to avoid unnecessary image transmission just for orientation. With the help of an intelligent management of the transmitted image data stream an online impression including the movement of the slide under the remote microscope can be provided. To meet legal requirements in medicine tools are provided to record the inspection process for later archiving and documentation in the patient record file.
Modulation of hormones in the treatment of lupus. (2001)

The etiologic enigma of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has so far precluded a fully integrated approach to understanding and managing the disease. As new findings continue to uncover relationships between the endocrine system and the besieged immune system in lupus patients, however, researchers have an opportunity to rethink the direction of their investigative efforts. A successful approach to development of long-awaited new treatments may well include modulation of specific hormones. The peptide hormone prolactin may be associated with SLE disease activity. The dopamine agonist bromocriptine, which inhibits pituitary secretion of prolactin, has been shown in a variety of small animal and human trials to reduce disease activity in SLE. Continued research may show that it can be an attractive alternative or adjacent therapy in cases where hydroxychloroquine is contraindicated.
Occurrence and metabolism of <i>scyllo</i>inositol in the locust (1967)

1. scylloInositol has been identified as a component of locust haemolymph, where it occurs in concentrations of 0.2-0.4mg./ml. 2. A simple method for the identification of scylloinositol is described. This has been used to demonstrate the presence of scylloinositol in five other insect species. 3. Locust phospholipids contain myoinositol but no scylloinositol. 4. Radioactivity from [(14)C]glucose is incorporated into myoinositol and scylloinositol by the locust in vivo. 5. Extracts of locust fat body catalyse the conversion of myoinositol into scylloinositol. This seems to take place by a two-step process in which myoinositol is first oxidized with NAD(+) to myoinosose-2, and the myoinosose-2 is stereospecifically reduced with NADPH to scylloinositol.
Plasma vitamin D3 response in cattle and sheep exposed to ultraviolet radiation. (1985)

Plasma levels of vitamin D3 were determined in a group of 10 cows housed indoors and exposed during the winter to ultraviolet irradiation (UVR). Exposure to UVR was associated with marked rises in plasma vitamin D3 concentrations. The pattern and magnitude of the plasma vitamin D3 response to UVR exposure in sheep raised in total confinement was also investigated. Exposure to sun lamps produced a significant increase in sheep plasma vitamin D3 concentrations. There was no significant difference in the plasma levels of vitamin D3 due to length of time of exposure to UVR.
American Land Law Reform: Legal Co-Ownership, Dower, and Curtesy (1960)

T HROUGHOUT the United States, there is a serious and growing shortage of fairly large tracts of contiguous land to which marketable title can be obtained readily and which are suitable for residential, commercial, industrial, or recreational uses. 1 This shortage will become more acute each year as the population increases, its standard of living rises,' and industry expands to meet the increasing demand for consumer goods by the people of the United States and of other countries. 4
Slip Based Real Time Road Friction Estimation for Heavy Duty Vehicles (2009)

In this paper an implementation of the slip based road friction estimation method is described. The purpose of this implementation is to obtain real-time classification of the prevalent road friction coefficient. A real-time system using a linear regression model and a Kalman filter is implemented. Test runs show that the vehicle model and the algorithms are robust and can provide accurate classifications of current coefficient of friction.
High Throughput Tools to Access Images from Clinical Archives for Research (2014)

Historically, medical images collected in the course of clinical care have been difficult to access for secondary research studies. While there is a tremendous potential value in the large volume of studies contained in clinical image archives, Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) are designed to optimize clinical operations and workflow. Search capabilities in PACS are basic, limiting their use for population studies, and duplication of archives for research is costly. To address this need, we augment the Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) open source software, providing investigators with the tools necessary to query and integrate medical record and clinical research data. Over 100 healthcare institutions have installed this suite of software tools that allows investigators to search medical record metadata including images for specific types of patients. In this report, we describe a new Medical Imaging Informatics Bench to Bedside (mi2b2) module ( www.mi2b2.org ), available now as an open source addition to the i2b2 software platform that allows medical imaging examinations collected during routine clinical care to be made available to translational investigators directly from their institution's clinical PACS for research and educational use in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Omnibus Rule. Access governance within the mi2b2 module is customizable per institution and PACS minimizing impact on clinical systems. Currently in active use at our institutions, this new technology has already been used to facilitate access to thousands of clinical MRI brain studies representing specific patient phenotypes for use in research.
Employing Personality Feature to Rank the Influential Users in Signed Networks (2016)

Social networks are an important part of the everyday activities of a big part of people. Different type of socialbased activities (e.g. online product shopping, question answering forums and etc.) create a vast connection between users. One of the most important features of these networks is knowledge sharing. This knowledge usually provides better insight for the users and consequently has a direct impact on the decision made by them. For example, online shopping members usually take their decision based on this shared information. But the main issue is there are a huge amount of shared knowledge without an accurate mechanism to determine their validity. One approach is to count more on the influential users opinions in the system and toward this end, several ranking algorithms have been proposed. But the existing algorithms for users ranking don't consider the personality features of users in their methodology. In this paper, we use this new feature of personality in the ranking algorithm for influential user detection in signed networks. We used Optimism and Pessimism scores as personality features of each user and employ it in the PageRank algorithm as a sample ranking algorithm and evaluated the new ranking results by using a new metric of credibility. To assess the performance of the proposed method, we applied it to a large dataset of Epinions signed networks. The results are compared with state-of-the-art expert finding algorithms which indicate that the personality feature can effectively improve the ranking and influential user detection accuracy.
Role of Fibronectin in Adhesion, Migration, and Metastasis (1989)

AbstractAdhesive macromolecules of the extracellular matrix regulate cellular migration, differentiation, and growth. They also contribute actively to the pathogenesis of diseases characterized by aberrant adhesion, including cancer. One of the most well characterized adhesion factors is the glycoprotein fibronectin; biochemical analyses of this molecule have substantially improved our understanding of how cells adhere, migrate, and invade, and it is now thought that fibronectin plays a key role in the tissue remodeling and cell migration events that occur during normal embryonic development and adult wound healing. In this review, we describe how recent studies, focusing on the basic question of precisely how a cell adheres to fibronectin at the molecular level, have led to insights into the mechanisms of cellular migration by normal and malignant cells and to the development of a novel, synthetic inhibitor of experimental metastasis. We also critically discuss the future prospects for antiadhesive agents in prevention of malignant disease.
