Federal connected vehicle research has\nproduced a considerable body of work to support pilot deployments, including\nconcepts of operations and prototyping for more than two dozen applications.\nConcurrent federal research efforts are developing critical cross-cutting technologies\nand other enabling capabilities required to integrate and deploy applications.\n
Head-Mounted Displays (2000)

Two domestic simulation studies—Vista Sabre41 and Vista Sabre II42—demonstrated the clear advantage for a pilot equipped with an head-mounted displays (HMDs) when targeting missiles over a pilot using only a head-up displays. The HMD expands on this capability by placing the information in front of the pilot’s eyes at all times and by linking the information to the orientation to the pilot’s line of sight. This monocular helmet-mounted display gives the pilot the ability—similar to the Cobra gunship—to target head-slaved weapons, with the added ability to display head-tracked forward looking infra-red imagery for nighttime flying. Head-mounted displays can provide a distinctly unique and personal viewing experience that no other display technology can. By providing the pilot with display information that is linked to head orientation, the pilot is freed from having to return his attention to the cockpit interior and is able to navigate and fly the aircraft in a more intuitive and natural manner.
The novel gene <i>fad</i> 104, containing a fibronectin type III domain, has a significant role in adipogenesis (2004)

A novel gene named fad104 (factor for adipocyte differentiation-104), whose expression level quickly increased in the early stage of adipogenesis, was isolated and characterized. The deduced amino acid sequence of fad104 revealed the possible presence of a fibronectin type III domain and transmembrane domain. The expression of fad104 was detected in adipocyte differentiable 3T3-L1 cells but not observed in the non-adipogenic cell line NIH-3T3. Moreover, the ability of 3T3-L1 cells to differentiate declined with the knockdown of fad104 by RNA interference, strongly indicating that fad104 functions as a positive regulator of adipogenesis.
Reflectivity enhanced refractive index sensor based on a fiber-integrated Fabry-Perot microresonator (2014)

We discuss a fiber-integrated refractive index sensor with strongly improved detection performance. The resonator has been implemented by means of focused-ion beam milling of a step index fiber and shows a sensitivity of about 1.15µm/RIU. Coating the resonator walls led to a strongly improved mirror reflectivity by a factor of about 26. Design rules for device optimization and a detailed mathematical analysis are discussed, revealing that the sensor operates as an optimized Fabry-Perot resonator. We also show that the performance of such kind of Fabry-Perot sensors is, in general, limited by the detection limit function - a quantity depending on the cavitiy's finesse and on the measurement capabilities used.
Characteristics of aperture coupled microstrip antennas on magnetized ferrite substrates (2005)

The method of moments in the spectral domain is applied to the full-wave analysis of aperture coupled microstrip antennas in the case where the substrate of the antennas is a layered medium containing magnetized ferrites. The subsectional basis functions used in the analysis make it possible to handle patch antennas and coupling apertures with right angle corners of arbitrary shape. The numerical results obtained show that antennas on ferrite substrates fed by single microstrip lines can radiate both circular and linear polarization, the polarization state being dependent on the orientation of the ferrites bias magnetic field. For a given polarization state, the matching frequency band of the antennas can be tuned over a wide frequency range by adjusting the magnitude of the bias magnetic field. Also, the polarization state can be continuously tuned from circular to linear within the same frequency band by adjusting both the magnitude and the orientation of the bias magnetic field. Some measurements are presented in order to check the validity of the numerical algorithm developed.
Spatial ability for STEM domains: Aligning over 50 years of cumulative psychological knowledge solidifies its importance. (2009)

The importance of spatial ability in educational pursuits and the world of work was examined, with particular attention devoted to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) domains. Participants were drawn from a stratified random sample of U.S. high schools (Grades 9–12, N 400,000) and were tracked for 11 years; their longitudinal findings were aligned with pre-1957 findings and with contemporary data from the Graduate Record Examination and the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth. For decades, spatial ability assessed during adolescence has surfaced as a salient psychological attribute among those adolescents who subsequently go on to achieve advanced educational credentials and occupations in STEM. Results solidify the generalization that spatial ability plays a critical role in developing expertise in STEM and suggest, among other things, that including spatial ability in modern talent searches would identify many adolescents with potential for STEM who are currently being missed.
Resins Used in Rubber (1963)

Abstract Resinous materials have long been used to aid in the processing of rubber and to impart special properties to the vulcanized product. Resins have been described as various solid or semisolid organic substances. Originally, naturally occurring resins such as rosin were employed but with the advent of synthetic resins, many of these have been used with natural and synthetic rubber. In general the resins considered here are readily fusible and relatively low in molecular weight, the average value often being less than one thousand. However, thermosetting resins are also employed, usually being introduced into the rubber at a low stage of condensation. Resins are frequently added to assist in processing and often are considered as softeners although they are higher in molecular weight than most softeners and their efficiency as softeners is somewhat less. However, they do not soften the resulting vulcanizate and may even increase the hardness.
Smart Talents Recruiter - Resume Ranking and Recommendation System (2018)

During the previous decade, the augmentation of automatic e-recruitment has led to the enlargement of web channels that are devoted to candidate dissemination. In an economic and strategic context where cost-effective is basal, the recommendation of the candidates for the given job requirements has become mandatory. The purpose of this work is to acquaint the actual results that we have achieved on a new recommendation system named Smart Applicant Ranker which is a candidate recommendation tool designed to supervise recruiters while they input their job requirements into the system. This system is designed using Ontology where we can compare the resume models with the given job requirements to match the best comparable candidates. Two ranking algorithms are underlined in this system which will be invoked to assign a ranking point to the recommended candidates against the other candidates on the recommendation pool. The Smart Applicant Ranker system will be kept in a Semantic Web approach that provides IT recruitment firms to seek experts in an efficient way.
Sodium Thiosulfate Treatment for Calcific Uremic Arteriolopathy in Children and Young Adults (2006)

In adult patients with ESRD, calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA) is an uncommon but life-threatening complication. No effective therapy exists, although anecdotal case reports highlight the use of sodium thiosulfate (STS), a calcium-chelating agent with antioxidant properties. CUA is rare in children, and STS use has not been reported. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of STS treatment on three patients with CUA in a pediatric chronic dialysis unit. The patients were between 12 and 21 yr of age; two were male; and primary diagnoses were obstructive uropathy, renal dysplasia, and calcineurin nephrotoxicity. Time from ESRD to CUA diagnosis was 1, 9, and 20 yr. Diagnosis was made by tissue biopsy and three-phase bone scan. Pain was the presenting symptom. Initial treatment included discontinuation of calcitriol and use of non-calcium-based phosphate binders and low-calcium dialysate concentration. STS dosage was 25 g/1.73 m(2) per dose intravenously after each hemodialysis session. For optimization of removal of calcium deposits, patient three received a combination of STS and continuous venovenous hemofiltration for the first 10 d. All patients demonstrated rapid pain relief. Within weeks, skin induration and joint mobility of the extremities improved. Radiographic evidence of reduction in the calcium deposits occurred within 3 mo of initiation of STS. The only complication was prolonged QT interval in one patient as a result of hypocalcemia, who was resolved by use of a higher dialysate calcium concentration. STS seems well tolerated in children and young adults with CUA and has mild adverse effects. For determination of its efficacy, optimum dosage, duration of therapy, and dialysis modality, controlled trials are needed.
Realization of dynamic biped walking varying joint stiffness using antagonistic driven joints (2002)

The authors introduce a life-size biped walking robot having antagonistic driven joints using a nonlinear spring mechanism and a dynamic biped walking control method using these joints. In the current research concerning a biped walking robot, there is no developed example of a life-size biped walking robot with antagonistically driven joints by which the human musculo-skeletal system is imitated in lower limbs. Humans are considered to walk efficiently using the inertial energy and the potential energy of the lower limbs effectively, walk smoothly with less impact force when a foot lands and cope flexibly with the outside environment. The human joint is driven by two or more muscle groups. Humans can vary the joint stiffness, using nonlinear spring characteristics possessed by the muscles themselves. These functions are indispensable for a humanoid. However, the biped walking robots developed previously have been unable to walk in this way. Therefore, the authors developed a biped walking robot having antagonistic driven joints, and proposed a walking control method for dynamic biped walking that uses antagonistic driven joints to vary joint stiffness. The authors performed walking experiments using the biped walking robot and the control method. As a result, dynamic biped walking varying the joint stiffness using antagonistic driven joints was realized.

Synergistic Effects of Cellulosomal Xylanase and Cellulases from <i>Clostridium cellulovorans</i> on Plant Cell Wall Degradation (2003)

Plant cell walls are comprised of cellulose and hemicellulose and other polymers that are intertwined, and this complex structure presents a barrier to degradation by pure cellulases or hemicellulases. In this study, we determined the synergistic effects on corn cell wall degradation by the action of cellulosomal xylanase XynA and cellulosomal cellulases from Clostridium cellulovorans. XynA minicellulosomes and cellulase minicellulosomes were found to degrade corn cell walls synergistically but not purified substrates such as xylan and crystalline cellulose. The mixture of XynA and cellulases at a molar ratio of 1:2 showed the highest synergistic effect of 1.6 on corn cell wall degradation. The amounts both of xylooligosaccharides and cellooligosaccharides liberated from corn cell walls were increased by the synergistic action of XynA and cellulases. Although synergistic effects on corn cell wall degradation were found in simultaneous reactions with XynA and cellulases, no synergistic effects were observed in sequential reactions. The possible mechanism of synergism between XynA and cellulases is discussed.
Inhaled Growth Hormone (GH) Compared with Subcutaneous GH in Children with GH Deficiency: Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety (2009)

In this first pediatric trial of GH delivered by inhalation, it was well tolerated and resulted in dose-dependent increases in serum GH and IGF-I levels. This study establishes that delivery of GH via the deep lung is feasible in children.
Radial Basis Functions for the image analysis of deformations (2012)

In present time electronically controlled sensors are experiencing an astonishing progress. Beside their availability in almost all applications – according to several physical properties, their prices are rapidly decreasing.Among all recently available sensors, digital cameras based on CCD or CMOS technologies are currently very precise (if adequate optics are used). They offer high resolution together with a very attractive economical cost. Even if inexpensive optics are used, it is easy to introduce procedures for the calibration of the system so that an optimal precision is reached (Torres & Menéndez 2004).
Comparing and managing multiple versions of slide presentations (2006)

Despite the ubiquity of slide presentations, managing multiple presentations remains a challenge. Understanding how multiple versions of a presentation are related to one another, assembling new presentations from existing presentations, and collaborating to create and edit presentations are difficult tasks. In this paper, we explore techniques for comparing and managing multiple slide presentations. We propose a general comparison framework for computing similarities and differences between slides. Based on this framework we develop an interactive tool for visually comparing multiple presentations. The interactive visualization facilitates understanding how presentations have evolved over time. We show how the interactive tool can be used to assemble new presentations from a collection of older ones and to merge changes from multiple presentation authors.
Synthesis, Protein Kinase Inhibitory Potencies, and in Vitro Antiproliferative Activities of Meridianin Derivatives (2011)

The synthesis of new meridianin derivatives is described. The indolic ring system was substituted at the C-4 to C-7 positions either by a bromine atom or by nitro or amino groups. Additionally, an iodine atom or various aryl groups were introduced at the C-5 position of the 2-aminopyrimidine ring. These compounds as well as some of their synthetic intermediates were tested for their kinase inhibitory potencies and for their in vitro antiproliferative activities. We found that this series of compounds is particularly interesting in the development of new inhibitors of DYRK1A and CLK1 kinases. The most effective compounds toward these two kinase families are the 6- and 7-bromo derivatives 30, 33, and 34 that showed more than 45-fold selectivity toward DYRK1A/CLK1 kinases over the other kinases tested. Meridianin derivatives could thus be developed toward potent and selective inhibitors of key RNA splicing regulators and potential therapeutic agents.
The propagation of groups of waves in dispersive media, with application to waves on water produced by a travelling disturbance (1908)

Abstract The object of this paper is to illustrate the main features of wave propagation in dispersive media. In the case of surface waves on deep water it has been remarked that the earlier investigators considered the more difficult problem of the propagation of an arbitrary initial disturbance as expressed by a Fourier integral, ignoring the simpler theory developed subsequently by considering the propagation of a single element of their integrals, namely an unending train of simple harmonic waves. The point of view on which stress is laid here consists of a return to the Fourier integral, with the idea that the element of disturbance is not a simple harmonic wave-train, but a simple group, an aggregate of simple wave-trains clustering around a given central period. In many cases it is then possible to select from the integral die few simple groups that are important, and hence to isolate the chief regular features, if any, in the phenomena. In certain of the following sections well-known results appear; the aim has been to develop these from the present point of view, and so illustrate die dependence of the phenomena upon the character of the velocity function, In the other sections it is hoped that progress has been made in the theory if the propagation of an arbitrary initial group of waves, and also of the character of the wave pattern diverging from a point impulse travelling on die surface.
Chemical and Thermal Aspects of Pesticide Disposal (1972)

Abstract Pesticides, when treated with sodium biphenyl reagent, were decomposed to the extent of 80 to 99%. However, when these compounds were treated with a mixture of metallic sodium and liquid ammonia, 15 of the 19 compounds were completely degraded. When metallic lithium was substituted for metallic sodium, the mixture was less effective but still completely degraded 8 of 19 compounds. The decomposition products resulting from these reactions were not tested for toxicity. The pesticide formulations were incinerated, either singly or mixed, at 900C. Analyses of the volatile products revealed that at least four hazardous gases (chlorine, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, and nitric acid) were produced.
TREC 2005 Spam Track Overview (2005)

TREC’s Spam Track uses a standard testing framework that presents a set of chronologically ordered email messages a spam filter for classification. In the filtering task, the messages are presented one at at time to the filter, which yields a binary judgement (spam or ham [i.e. non-spam]) which is compared to a humanadjudicated gold standard. The filter also yields a spamminess score, intended to reflect the likelihood that
“BEGOTTEN NOT MADE” (1916)

BEGOTTEN NOT MADE"ONE of the greatest difficulties of the missionary among Moslems is undoubtedly to be found in this clause of the so-called Nicene Creed.The current Arabic rendering mawliid ghairu mukhliiq, an exact translation of the Greek ytuuq&vsa o ; rocq&usa, has for a Moslem nothing but physical suggestion.The Arabic mawltid may mean " born " or " begotten "---i.e., may refer to the mother or the father as also may yEuuqOhsabut it can be used only of actual birth, human or animal.So wuhd is to be distinguished from ibn, which is human only, and has a non-physical atmosphere.With the second element, "not made,:' there need be little difficulty.The idea is already familiar by association with the Koran, which, also, is ghairu wzkhltiq.Parallels, therefore, with the orthodox Moslein doctrine of the Koran, may lead a certain way towards the Christian doctrine of the Person of Christ, and should be used freely.*But they break at the word " begotten."The Koran is not even a Person which " proceeded"- h C T O p E U d p E U O U , munbathiq -from Allah, but is only a manifestation upon earth of the eternal quality (sifa) of Allah called Speech (kuZC7n).That quality, like all the other qualities, mystically inheres in the essence (dhzt) of Allah in such a way that it niay not be said either that it is He or that it is other than He.The Koran, therefore, is to be called " uncreated," although many varying formulae have been used to express the relationship between its wordsphysically written, heard, remembered-and the eternal quality in the * See Canon Gairdner in " Vital Forces of Christianity and Islam," PP. 30 ff., and my own paper, pp.221 ff.* See my " Development," pp.336 f. t This waa pointed out long
Cryptanalysis of a Cognitive Authentication Scheme (Extended Abstract) (2007)

We present attacks against two cognitive authentication schemes [9] proposed at the 2006 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy. These authentication schemes are designed to be secure against eavesdropping attacks while relying only on human cognitive skills. They achieve authentication via challenge response protocols based on a shared secret set of pictures. Our attacks use a SAT solver to recover a user's secret key in a few seconds, after observing only a small number of successful logins. These attacks demonstrate that the authentication schemes of [9] are not secure against an eavesdropping adversary.
Isolation, acid proteinase secretion, and experimental pathogenicity of Candida parapsilosis from outpatients with vaginitis (1989)

Candida parapsilosis was isolated from the vaginas of several nonpregnant, nondiabetic, mostly premenopausal outpatients who presented the characteristic signs and symptoms of a frank vulvovaginal candidiasis (heavy discharge with cottage cheese appearance and intense itching, with or without vulvar erythema and dyspareunia). All isolates conformed morphologically, biochemically, and serologically to the standard description of the species. They showed high acid proteinase-secretory activity in vitro and were appreciably pathogenic for cyclophosphamide-immunodepressed mice. Some isolates were also tested for their vaginopathic potential in ovariectomized rats under estradiol administration. In all cases, the rat vagina was colonized by C. parapsilosis to an extent and duration not different from those caused by a vaginopathic isolate of Candida albicans. Periodic acid-Schiff-stained vaginal smears taken at intervals during rat experimental infection showed C. parapsilosis yeasts adhering to exfoliated epithelial cells of rat vagina. Overall, these results emphasize the proteolytic and pathogenic potential of C. parapsilosis and suggest that this fungus may be an agent of clinical vaginitis.
SELF-GENERATED MAGNETIC-FIELD BY TRANSVERSE PLASMONS IN CELESTIAL BODIES (1993)

We suggest that a quasi-steady magnetic field could be generated in plasmas with high-frequency radiation through wave-wave and wave-particle interactions. It is shown that the behavior of self-generated magnetic fields can be described by nonlinear coupling equations. Numerical results show that a magnetic field self-generated by transverse pumping plasmons may collapse, leading to enhancement of the magnetic field up to 1000 G in a range around 200 km, which corresponds to the observed small-scale fields on the solar surface.
