Semantic concept discovery for large-scale zero-shot event detection (2015)

We focus on detecting complex events in uncon-strained Internet videos. While most existing works rely on the abundance of labeled training data, we consider a more difficult zero-shot setting where no training data is supplied. We first pre-train a number of concept classifiers using data from other sources. Then we evaluate the semantic correla-tion of each concept w.r.t. the event of interest. Af-ter further refinement to take prediction inaccuracy and discriminative power into account, we apply the discovered concept classifiers on all test videos and obtain multiple score vectors. These distinct score vectors are converted into pairwise compari-son matrices and the nuclear norm rank aggregation framework is adopted to seek consensus. To ad-dress the challenging optimization formulation, we propose an efficient, highly scalable algorithm that is an order of magnitude faster than existing alter-natives. Experiments on recent TRECVID datasets verify the superiority of the proposed approach. 1
Electroplated Nickel/Tin Solder Pads for Rear Metallization of Solar Cells (2015)

In this study, we report on the feasibility of formation of nickel/tin solder pads and bus bars directly electroplated onto the aluminum screen-printed rear metallization layer of silicon-based solar cells. A localized wet processing technique via dynamic liquid drop/meniscus is used to perform the electrodeposition procedure. Excellent mechanical and electrical parameters of electroplated contacts are measured, thus proving the reliability of the proposed approach suitable for industrial application. Adhesion of electroplated nickel/tin solder pads is ensured through a two-step electrochemical pretreatment procedure, resulting in mean peel force values ranging from 2.5 to 3.8 N/mm. Electroplating of solder pads directly onto the screen-printed aluminum layer allows us to obtain a full homogeneous back surface field on the solar cell, resulting in an efficiency gain in 0.31-0.48% abs range. Furthermore, the proposed method completely removes the need for silver in the rear-side metallization layer of silicon-based solar cells.
Incidence and relative risk of grade 3 and 4 diarrhoea in patients treated with capecitabine or 5‐fluorouracil: a meta‐analysis of published trials (2014)

Treatment with capecitabine is characterized by an increased risk of severe diarrhoea, mainly in patients affected by CRC and treated with polichemotherapy. Combination treatment with irinotecan doubles the risk over 5-FU.
The MERCEDES-BENZ OM 403 VA - A Standard Production, Compression-Ignition, Direct-Injection Multifuel Engine (1982)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">The Mercedes-Benz direct-injection diesel engine OM 403 VA resulted from the military demand for a multifuel engine based on and sharing a maximum of parts of a mass-produced commercial vehicle engine. The path of development was paved with a great many problems and setbacks, and finally lead some years ago to the standard production of this engine. A great deal of experience and information was obtained which could be of interest for the future development of multifuel engines.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">The results achieved are of current significance both as regards the expected deterioration in the ignition quality of conventional diesel fuels and because of the need in the future to use alternative fuels of very poor ignition quality.</div>
Laser paint stripping process Emissions: Q-switched vs. pulsed Nd:YAG laser (2004)

Laser removal of surface coatings is being considered as an “environmentally friendly” replacement for traditional solvent coating removal processes during the repair and refurbishment of composite helicopter main rotor blades. The process emissions produced during removal of an epoxy paint from this thin composite substrate using both a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and a pulsed Nd:YAG laser were collected, analyzed, and compared. Particulate matter was collected and analyzed for concentration of various elemental metals. Vapor emissions were collected and analyzed for volatile organic compounds, CO, NO2, and nitrous compounds. The processed substrate and particulate emissions were evaluated under a microscope. The results provide insight into the different removal mechanisms exhibited by these two lasers, and demonstrate that choice of laser plays a role in the resultant process emissions.
Early evidence of tolerability and clinical activity from a phase I study of TRC105 (anti-CD105 antibody) in patients with advanced refractory cancer (2009)

3518 Background: CD105 (endoglin) is an angiogenic membrane protein that is over-expressed on proliferating vasculature in solid tumors and up-regulated following anti-VEGF therapy. TRC105 is a human/murine chimeric IgG1 anti-CD105 monoclonal antibody that inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth via endothelial cell growth inhibition, ADCC, and apoptosis. Methods: The safety and PK of TRC105 were evaluated in patients with refractory cancer. Subjects were to have adequate organ function and no CNS or central thoracic tumors. TRC105 was escalated in cohorts of 3–6 patients to a maximum feasible dose of 1.0 mg/kg i.v. every 2 weeks. Results: 19 ECOG PS 0–1 patients received TRC105 at doses between 0.01–1.0 mg/kg, including 11 men and 8 women aged 37 to 79 years (median 59). One patient experienced dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) at 0.1 mg/kg of grade 4 gastric ulcer bleeding on Day 4 which resolved spontaneously. No other grade 3 or 4 adverse events were reported. Possibly related grade 1–2 adverse events were rare including fatigue, anemia, proteinuria, dysgeusia, diarrhea, flushing, hyperuricemia and intermittent postcoital vaginal bleeding. One patient with castrate-refractory prostate cancer remains on study after 13 months of TRC105 at 0.01 mg/kg with a complete PSA response and bone scan normalization. In addition, 6-month stable disease was seen in a patient with ovarian cancer (CA125 decrease of 16%). Best response also included stable disease (n = 3) and progression (n = 14). Serum TRC105 concentrations expected to saturate CD105 binding sites (> 0.2 ug/mL) were achieved at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg, and concentrations > 10 ug/mL were achieved at 1.0 mg/kg. HAMA became detectable in 1 patient after 3 months of TRC105 therapy. Conclusions: TRC105 is tolerated at doses with evidence of clinical activity. Additional monotherapy and combination studies are planned. [Table: see text]
Increased CSF levels of nerve growth factor in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (2000)

The authors quantitated CSF levels of nerve growth factor (NGF) in patients with AD, nondemented control subjects (CTR), and age-matched patients with major depression (DE). CSF levels of NGF were markedly higher in the AD group than in both the CTR and DE groups (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001). Increased CSF levels of NGF in AD patients may reflect reported accumulation of NGF in the AD brain and may constitute a candidate marker for clinical diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring.
Molecular, pressure, and thermal diffusion in nonideal multicomponent mixtures (2000)

Abstract A formalism based on powerful concepts of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes is derived for calculating multicomponent diffusion flux both at the critical point and away from the critical point. The derivations are based on the entropy balance expression combined with the phenomenological equations and Onsager reciprocal relations. The formalism results in a clear expression of the thermal contribution in the diffusion flux for nonideal multicomponent mixtures. The diffusion flux analysis at the critical point showed that, unlike isothermal and isobaric conditions where molecular diffusion flux is zero, molecular diffusion flux is finite and nonzero at the critical point. The thermal contribution in the diffusion flux is also finite at the critical point in multicomponent mixtures. At nonisothermal conditions, as well as nonisothermal and nonisobaric conditions, the composition gradient reaches infinity at the critical point; therefore, the mol fraction plot vs. spatial coordinates has an inflection point.
Content Area Reading: A Modular Approach (1983)

The project is unique in two major respects. First, it greatly simplifies the participation of individual teachers by making available instructional modules prepared in advance for each textbook unit. Second, it coordinates the use of these modules with a diagnostic/prescriptive management system operated in the language arts program.

Application of the OFDM/OQAM Modulation to Power Line Communications (2007)

In power line communications, multicarrier modulation is an efficient way to transmit information at a very high data rate. However, due to the presence of amplitude modulated broadcasting and amateur ham radio frequencies in the allocated frequency band (for example 1.8-30 Mhz for HomePlug AV), severe constraints have to be considered: the transmission mask includes notches and bandlimited noise has to be taken into account. This paper aims at evaluating the performance of the OFDM/OQAM modulation in such a context by studying its power spectral density and its robustness with respect to this particular noise.

Protective Effects of Methylsulfonylmethane on Hemodynamics and Oxidative Stress in Monocrotaline-Induced Pulmonary Hypertensive Rats (2012)

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is naturally occurring organic sulfur that is known as a potent antioxidant/anti-inflammatory compound. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of MSM on hemodynamics functions and oxidative stress in rats with monocrotaline- (MCT-) induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 38-days treatment. MSM was administered to rats at 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg/day doses 10 days before a single dose of 60 mg/kg, IP, MCT. Hemodynamics of ventricles were determined by Powerlab AD instrument. Blood samples were obtained to evaluate changes in the antioxidative system including activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and the level of reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Improvements in cardiopulmonary hemodynamics were observed in the MSM-treated pulmonary arterial hypertensive rats, with a significant reduction in right ventricular systolic pressure (RSVP) and an increase in the mean arterial pressure (MAP). The values of CAT, SOD, GSH-px activities, and GSH were significantly lower in MCT-induced PAH (P < 0.01), but they were recovered to control levels of MSM-treated groups. Our present results suggest that long-term administration of the MSM attenuates MCT-induced PAH in rats through modulation of oxidative stress and antioxidant defense.
Synergetic Effect of Conjugated Ni(OH)<sub>2</sub>/IrO<sub>2</sub> Cocatalyst on Titanium-Doped Hematite Photoanode for Solar Water Splitting (2015)

Hematite is a promising photoanode material for renewable solar fuel production via photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However, the fast electron–hole recombination and sluggish surface reaction retard it from getting satisfied performance. Herein, hematite nanorod arrays doped with titanium (Ti–Fe2O3) on the surface were prepared by a solution-based process. Because of one-dimension anisotropy and improved charge transfer property, the photocurrent density is doubled compared to pure Fe2O3 at 1.50 V vs RHE under simulated sunlight (AM 1.5 G) irradiation. Loading conjugated Ni(OH)2/IrO2 cocatalyst further leads to about 200 mV negative shift of the onset potential and dramatic increase of the applied bias photon-to-current efficiency (ABPE). We find that Ni(OH)2 can efficiently capture the photogenerated holes from hematite as a hole-storage layer (HSL) to improve the charge transfer process across the interface of hematite and IrO2 electrocatalyst. Furthermore, the stored photogenerated holes in Ni(OH)2 can be utilized by IrO2 for water oxidation more facilely. This synergetic effect along with the efficient surface doping are proposed to be responsible for the enhanced performance.
Low-Loss Coplanar Waveguides Interconnects on Low-Resistivity Silicon Substrate (2004)

This paper describes fabrication, characterization and simulation of low-loss coplanar waveguide (CPW) interconnects on low-resistivity silicon substrate. The fabrication of CPWs is low-temperature (below 250/spl deg/C) and incorporates a spin-on low-k dielectric benzocyclobutene (BCB) and self-aligned electroplating of copper. The performance of CPWs is evaluated by high-frequency characterization and EM simulation. CPWs with different line width (W) and line spacing (S) are investigated and compared. Using a BCB layer as thick as 20 /spl mu/m, CPW fabricated on a low-resistivity silicon substrate exhibits an insertion loss of 3 dB/cm at 30 GHz.
An InP HBT common-base amplifier with tunable transimpedance for 40 Gb/s applications (2003)

This work features a 40 Gb/s common-base transimpedance amplifier (TIA) design that employs electronically tunable transimpedance to compensate for various combinations of photodetector and hybrid interconnect parasitics. A tuning transimpedance BW range of 10 GHz is demonstrated using this approach. Integrated with a 40 fF photodetector, the transimpedance amplifier achieves 62.3 dB-ohm (1.3 kohm) differential transimpedance with a bandwidth of 39.3 GHz while consuming only 165 mW. This corresponds to a transimpedance-BW product per DC power of 310 ohms-GHz/mW. To the author's knowledge, this work is the first published demonstration of a tunable transimpedance amplifier for 40 Gb/s applications, and is among the highest TZ-BWP per DC power reported for a 40 Gb/s TIA.
The perception and categorisation of emotional stimuli: A review (2009)

When we perceive our environment, we rapidly integrate large amounts of incoming stimulus information into categories that help to guide our understanding of the world. Some stimuli are more relevant for our well-being and survival than others, for example stimuli that signal a threat or an opportunity for growth and expansion. In this review we examine the special role of such “emotional” stimuli in perception and categorisation. To this end, we first discuss some fundamental aspects of perception, with an emphasis on the cognitive process of categorisation. We then tackle the questions: “What is an emotional stimulus?” and “What is an emotion category?” Afterwards, we illustrate, with a review of key findings from the empirical literature, (i) how stimuli are categorised as emotional, and (ii) how the perceptual processing of emotional stimuli is prioritised to allow for a rapid preparation of adaptive responses. To conclude, we discuss how research on the perception of emotional stimuli can contribute to current debates in psychology, namely (i) about the role of bottom-up vs. top-down factors in emotional processing and experience, and (ii) about the nature of the relationship between cognition and emotion.
Threshold Voltage Sensitivity to Metal Gate Work-Function Based Performance Evaluation of Double-Gate n-FinFET Structures for LSTP Technology (2013)

This paper investigates the threshold voltage sensitivity to metal gate work-function for n-channel double gate fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) structures and evaluates the short channel performance of the device using threshold voltage dependence on metal gate work-function analysis. We carried out the study for a double gate n-channel fin field-effect transistor (n-FinFET) with parameters as per the projection report of International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, ITRS-2011 for low standby power (LSTP) 20 nm gate length technology node. In the present study device simulation have been carried out using PADRE simulator from MuGFET, which is based on the drift-diffusion theory. Our results show the accuracy and validity of classical drift-diffusion simulation results for transistor structures with lateral dimensions 10nm and above. The subthreshold behavior of device improves with increased metal gate work-function. The results also show that a higher gate work-function (≥5 eV) can fulfill the tolerable off-current as projected in ITRS 2011 report. The SCE in FinFET can reasonably be controlled and improved by proper adjustment of the metal gate work-function. DIBL is reduced with the increase in gate work function.
Keratinocyte growth arrest is associated with activation of a transcriptional repressor element in the human cdk1 promoter (1998)

In this study we examined the regulation of cdk1 expression in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKs) and neoplastic keratinocytes. Keratinocytes were growth-arrested by allowing the cells to grow to confluence or by treating them with interferon-gamma (IFNγ) or 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). RT-PCR and Western blot analysis demonstrated that cdk1 was profoundly reduced in growth-arrested HEKs when compared with dividing HEKs. In contrast, a squamous carcinoma cell line, SCC25, did not growth-arrest in response to growth inhibitors and did not downregulate cdk1 expression. Transfection of HEKs with a reporter gene driven off a 2.5-kb fragment of the human cdk1 promoter indicated that the downregulation of cdk1 upon growth arrest was transcriptional. Deletion mapping of the cdk1 promoter indicated that a repressor region was located between −949–−722 bp. This repressor region was not operative in the SCC25 cells. Examination of DNA:protein binding complexes by gel-shift analysis indicated that nuclear factors from both proliferative and growth-arrested cells bound to the DNA fragment spanning −949–−722 bp. Further analysis revealed that this binding could be resolved into a constitutive and growth arrest-specific complex that bound in a similar fashion to regions spanning −892–−831 bp and −831–−774 bp, respectively. The putative growth arrest-specific complex was not found in contact-inhibited fibroblasts and was found at very low levels in SCC25 cells, indicating that the putative repressor binding was growth arrest-specific and possibly keratinocyte-specific. The binding complexes bound to these two fragments were localized, by competition analysis, to regions −874–−853 bp and −830–−800 bp. This is the first report of a transcriptional repressor being operative during keratinocyte growth arrest. J. Cell. Physiol. 177:474–482, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
Persistent HIV-2 Infection of Rhesus Macaque, Baboon, and Mangabeys (1989)

Six monkeys of three different species (mangabey, macaque and baboon) were infected with human immunodeficiency type 2 (HIV-2) NIH-DZ using intraperitoneal or intravenous injections of cell-free HIV-2 or autologous HIV-2-infected cells with no prior immunostimulation. Viral expression was demonstrated by reverse transcriptase activity in cells after coculture with human peripheral blood lymphocytes or by electron microscopy. Serum was analyzed by western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (detection of antigen and antibody), and neutralization assay carried out using immunofluorescence techniques. The 6 inoculated animals seroconverted during the 1st month after inoculation and remained persistently infected after 6-11 months. We also observed proviral DNA by genomic analysis in the six tested samples. No sign of immunodeficiency disease has been observed so far. The data suggest that HIV-2 infection of nonhuman primates provides an acceptable animal model to investigate vaccination or specific immunotherapeutic procedures.
