A Semantic Matching Algorithm for Discovery in UDDI (2007)

One of the key objectives of web service technology is to construct processes that enable service providers to interconnect with their clients. The industry has developed the UDDI registry to enable the register of services and to make them available to their users. However, the keyword-based search of UDDI frequently return no results because there is no relation between the concepts used by the providers and those used by the clients. This paper presents an UDDI registry extended with semantic functionality by means of a generic semantic discovery algorithm that is not bound to any specific ontology or concepts from it. It enables to match instances and properties without specifically knowing the ontologies being matched. Furthermore, we present an ontology which represents the information associated with a business entity in UDDI, and which enables users to register and search business information semantically also using the former algorithm.

High-Resolution Transcriptomic Profiling of the Heart During Chronic Stress Reveals Cellular Drivers of Cardiac Fibrosis and Hypertrophy (2020)

These results offer a valuable resource for exploring the cardiac cellular landscape in health and after chronic cardiovascular stress. These data provide insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms that promote pathological remodeling of the mammalian heart, highlighting early transcriptional changes that precede chronic cardiac fibrosis.
Folate Production by Probiotic Bacteria (2011)

Probiotic bacteria, mostly belonging to the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, confer a number of health benefits to the host, including vitamin production. With the aim to produce folate-enriched fermented products and/or develop probiotic supplements that accomplish folate biosynthesis in vivo within the colon, bifidobacteria and lactobacilli have been extensively studied for their capability to produce this vitamin. On the basis of physiological studies and genome analysis, wild-type lactobacilli cannot synthesize folate, generally require it for growth, and provide a negative contribution to folate levels in fermented dairy products. Lactobacillus plantarum constitutes an exception among lactobacilli, since it is capable of folate production in presence of para-aminobenzoic acid (pABA) and deserves to be used in animal trials to validate its ability to produce the vitamin in vivo. On the other hand, several folate-producing strains have been selected within the genus Bifidobacterium, with a great variability in the extent of vitamin released in the medium. Most of them belong to the species B. adolescentis and B. pseudocatenulatum, but few folate producing strains are found in the other species as well. Rats fed a probiotic formulation of folate-producing bifidobacteria exhibited increased plasma folate level, confirming that the vitamin is produced in vivo and absorbed. In a human trial, the same supplement raised folate concentration in feces. The use of folate-producing probiotic strains can be regarded as a new perspective in the specific use of probiotics. They could more efficiently confer protection against inflammation and cancer, both exerting the beneficial effects of probiotics and preventing the folate deficiency that is associated with premalignant changes in the colonic epithelia.
Analysis of superconducting-base transistor characteristics (1986)

The characteristics of a superconducting-base transistor are derived. The device is similar to a bipolar transistor but uses quasiparticles in a superconductor as minority carriers. Injection, transport, recombination, and extraction of quasiparticles are discussed. Analytic expressions for the characteristics of the transistor are obtained.
Composing real-time systems (1991)

nitors to check the partial results obtained and update the PPs accordingly. We are currently extending the framework to cover the generation and scheduling of anytime actions and observation actions, both of which are essential for the construction of autonomous agents. Anytime actions are actions whose outcome quality improves gradually over time. For example, moving toward a target in order to get a better view is an interruptible anytime action. Aiming a gun at a target is another example of an interruptible anytime action. In many cases anytime actions can be implemented by interleaving computation and action. Our ultimate goal in this project is to construct a real-time agent that acts by performing anytime actions and makes decisions using anytime computation. References
Predictors of Symptom Severity in Patients With Chronic Prostatitis and Interstitial Cystitis (2006)

There are several common medical conditions associated with urological pelvic pain syndromes in men and women. Few of them were predictive of symptoms severity in this analysis. Self-reported pelvic pain symptoms, education and depression severity were the factors most strongly predictive of symptom severity in patients with CP/CPPS and IC.

Latent Factor Guided Convolutional Neural Networks for Age-Invariant Face Recognition (2016)

While considerable progresses have been made on face recognition, age-invariant face recognition (AIFR) still remains a major challenge in real world applications of face recognition systems. The major difficulty of AIFR arises from the fact that the facial appearance is subject to significant intra-personal changes caused by the aging process over time. In order to address this problem, we propose a novel deep face recognition framework to learn the ageinvariant deep face features through a carefully designed CNN model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to show the effectiveness of deep CNNs in advancing the state-of-the-art of AIFR. Extensive experiments are conducted on several public domain face aging datasets (MORPH Album2, FGNET, and CACD-VS) to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model over the state-of the-art. We also verify the excellent generalization of our new model on the famous LFW dataset.
Identifying local and descending inputs for primary sensory neurons (2015)

Primary pain and touch sensory neurons not only detect internal and external sensory stimuli, but also receive inputs from other neurons. However, the neuronal derived inputs for primary neurons have not been systematically identified. Using a monosynaptic rabies viruses-based transneuronal tracing method combined with sensory-specific Cre-drivers, we found that sensory neurons receive intraganglion, intraspinal, and supraspinal inputs, the latter of which are mainly derived from the rostroventral medulla (RVM). The viral-traced central neurons were largely inhibitory but also consisted of some glutamatergic neurons in the spinal cord and serotonergic neurons in the RVM. The majority of RVM-derived descending inputs were dual GABAergic and enkephalinergic (opioidergic). These inputs projected through the dorsolateral funiculus and primarily innervated layers I, II, and V of the dorsal horn, where pain-sensory afferents terminate. Silencing or activation of the dual GABA/enkephalinergic RVM neurons in adult animals substantially increased or decreased behavioral sensitivity, respectively, to heat and mechanical stimuli. These results are consistent with the fact that both GABA and enkephalin can exert presynaptic inhibition of the sensory afferents. Taken together, this work provides a systematic view of and a set of tools for examining peri- and extrasynaptic regulations of pain-afferent transmission.
The Global epidemiology of infectious diseases (2004)

The collection and use of timely and reliable health information in support of health policies and programmes have been actively promoted by the World Health Organization since its foundation. Valid health statistics are required at all levels of the health system, ranging from data for health services support at the local community level, through to national statistics and information used to monitor the effectiveness of national health strategies. Equally, regional and global data are required to monitor global epidemics and to continuously assess the effectiveness of global public health approaches to disease and injury prevention and control, as coordinated by WHO technical programmes. Despite the clear need for epidemiological data, reliable and comprehensive health statistics are not available in many Member states of WHO, and, indeed, in many countries the ascertainment of disease levels, patterns and trends is still very uncertain.
A hot Cathode Magnetron Discharge for Hollow Cathode Arc Ignition (1970)

Abstract An E X B discharge has been used to ignite a hollow cathode arc in a convenient and reliable manner. Voltage‐current characteristics of this auxiliary high pressure magnetron discharge in argon have been measured in the pressure and magnetic field ranges of our usual hollow cathode arc operation parameters. Two stable branches of the characteristics can be distinguished, resembling arc and abnormal glow discharges. In both regimes measurements of heat generation at the electrodes show that about 75% of the generator power is transferred to the cathode by the ion current. When cathode temperatures above 1300 K are reached, the main hollow cathode discharge can be started easily.
On diagonal algebraic space-time block codes (2003)

Theoretical and practical aspects of diagonal algebraic space-time block codes over n transmit and m receive antennae are examined. These codes are obtained by sending a rotated version of the information symbols over the principal diagonal of the n /spl times/ n space-time matrix over n transmit antennae and n symbol periods. The output signal-to-noise ratios of two predecoding filters and two decoding algorithms are derived. Analysis of the information loss incurred by using the codes considered is used to clarify their structures, and the expected performances. Different algebraic real and complex rotations presented in the literature are analyzed and compared as regards the achieved coding gains, the complexities, performances, and peak-to-mean envelope power ratios.
Lead Zirconate Titanate Hollow‐Sphere Transducers (1994)

Millimeter‐sized, hollow spheres of lead zirconate titanate were fabricated by blowing gas through a fine‐grained slurry of PZT‐5. After they were sintered, the spheres were poled in two ways: radially between inside and outside electrodes, and tangentially between two outside electrodes. The capacitance and vibration modes were modeled and measured for these two poling configurations. The two principal modes of vibration were a breathing mode near 700 kHz and a wall thickness mode near 10 MHz. These spheres have potential uses in medical ultrasound, nondestructive testing, and low‐density transducer arrays.
A 0.7V 36μW 85dB-DR Audio ΔΣ Modulator Using Class-C Inverter (2008)

Measuring load-balanced paths in the internet (2007)

Tools to measure internet properties usually assume the existence of a single path from a source to a destination. However, load-balancing capabilities, which create multiple active paths between two end-hosts, are available in most contemporary routers. This paper proposes a methodology to identify load-balancing routers and characterize load-balanced paths. We enhance our traceroute-like tool, called Paris traceroute, to find all paths between a pair of hosts, and use it from 15 sources to over 68 thousand destinations. Our results show that the traditional concept of a single network path between hosts no longer holds. For instance, 39% of the source-destination pairs in our traces traverse a load balancer. Furthermore, this fraction increases to 70% if we consider the paths between a source and a destination network.

Use of non‐invasive finger blood pressure monitoring in the estimation of aortic pressure at rest and during the Mueller manoeuvre (1992)

The aim of this investigation was to evaluate whether reliable estimates of aortic pressure can be derived using non-invasive finger blood pressure monitoring. Finger blood pressure (Ohmeda 2300 Finapres device; Finapres, Englewood, CO) was compared with simultaneous ascending aortic pressure measured with a catheter-transducer system both at rest and during acute negative intrathoracic pressure (the Mueller manoeuvre). Thirty-eight patients aged 17-73 years were studied. All were undergoing routine diagnostic or therapeutic cardiac catheterization. Beat-to-beat values of systolic, diastolic and mean non-invasive finger and invasive aortic blood pressure were measured at rest and factors which might have an influence on the difference between methods were examined. The mean finger-aortic difference was +5 +/- 14 mmHg for systolic, -2 +/- 7 mmHg for diastolic, -5 +/- 8 mmHg for mean and +6 +/- 13 mmHg for pulse pressure. In multivariate linear regression analysis, the difference in systolic pressure was related to aortic systolic pressure (standardized coefficient beta = -0.33, P = 0.01), heart rate (beta = 0.49, P < 0.000), age (beta = -0.29, P < 0.025) and height (beta = 0.40, P < 0.005). The linear regression equations to derive resting aortic pressures from the non-invasive finger pressure readings had correlation coefficients between 0.83 and 0.87 and standard errors of estimate between 6 and 14 mmHg. During the Mueller manoeuvre, Finapres reproduced average pressure changes reliably compared with intra-aortic pressure. Due to moderate inter-individual variation in the finger-aortic differences the correlation coefficients ranged from 0.83 to 0.93 and the standard errors of estimate from 3 to 6 mmHg. Non-invasive finger blood pressure monitoring could be used to estimate central aortic mean and diastolic blood pressure fairly reliably at rest, but with respect to systolic pressure the variance in finger-aortic difference was marked. The average intra-aortic pressure changes caused by the Mueller manoeuvre were reliably reproduced by the Finapres device.

Queue pair IP: a hybrid architecture for system area networks (2003)

We propose a SAN architecture called Queue Pair IP (QPIP) that combines the interface from industry proposals for low overhead, high bandwidth networks, e.g. Infiniband, with the well established inter-network protocol suite. We evaluate how effectively the queue pair abstraction enables inter-network protocol offload We develop a prototype QPIP system that implements basic queue pair operations over a subset of TCP, UDP and IPv6 protocols using a programmable network adapter. We assess this prototype in terms of basic application performance, underlying processing costs, and a network storage application. With modest hardware support, QPIP can perform as well as traditional inter-network protocol implementations at a fraction of the host CPU overhead. With hardware support equivalent to Infiniband, QPIP would achieve similar performance targets.
Svc light: a powerful means for dynamic voltage and power quality control in industry and distribution (2000)

The author describes SVC Light, where VSC (voltage source converter) and IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) technologies have been brought together to offer possibilities hitherto unseen for power quality improvement in industry and power distribution. The paper highlights the SVC Light technology and focuses on a couple of important applications: mitigation of arc furnace flicker; and dynamic voltage control of wind powered grids.
Ultrafast Charge Transfer Dynamics in Photoexcited CdTe Quantum Dot Decorated on Graphene (2012)

We report synthesis and ultrafast charge transfer dynamics of photoexcited CdTe quantum dots (QDs) decorated on graphene. We have synthesized CdTe QD particles of 2.2 nm sizes with first exciton (1S3/2-1Se) band ∼450 nm and then decorated the QD particles on graphene which has been confirmed by HRTEM studies. The CdTe QD decorated graphene has been named as G-CdTe. Steady state emission studies revealed that on the graphene surface CdTe emission gets quenched drastically which indicates the charge transfer from photoexcited CdTe to graphene. To unravel the charge transfer dynamics in ultrafast time scale we have carried out femtosecond transient absorption studies by exciting the CdTe QD particles and monitoring the transients in the visible to near-IR region. Transient absorption studies indicate that exciton recombination time (as monitored the exciton bleach) of pure CdTe QD takes place within 50 ps; however, on graphene the surface exciton recombination time was found to be much longer (>1 ns). Our studies clearly indicate that charge separation of G-CdTe composite materials drastically improves as compared to that CdTe QD.
Hormonal modulation in systemic lupus erythematosus. Preliminary clinical and hormonal results with cyproterone acetate (1985)

We prospectively studied the effects of hormonal modulation using the antigonadotropic drug, cyproterone acetate (CA), in 7 female patients who had moderately active systemic lupus erythematosus. CA was taken orally at a mean daily dose of 50 mg for 21-33 months by 6 patients (9 months by the seventh patient) without any side effects. The number of clinical lupus exacerbations during CA treatment was lower than that during the corresponding pretreatment period (15 of 170 patient-months versus 27 of 156 patient-months; P less than 0.05), despite a reduction in the daily maintenance dose of corticosteroids or antimalarial drugs. Mean plasma testosterone levels were low initially and remained unchanged (0.66 +/- 0.31 to 0.59 +/- 0.23 nmoles/liter), whereas plasma estradiol decreased markedly (from 0.6 +/- 0 38 to 0.11 +/- 0.03 nmoles/liter), resulting in a significant reduction in the estradiol:testosterone ratio (from 1.19 +/- 0.68 to 0.23 +/- 0.12) and in the plasma concentration of the sex hormone-binding protein. Thus, cyproterone acetate induced improvement in clinical lupus activity in parallel with the expected lower estradiol:testosterone balance.
All solution-chemistry approach for YBa2Cu3O7−δ-coated conductors (2002)

A need exists for low-cost coated-conductor fabrication methods for applications in magnet and electric-power technologies. We demonstrate high-critical current density (Jc) YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) films grown on Nb-doped SrTiO3 (Nb:STO) buffered Ni(100) tapes. All buffer and superconductor layers are deposited using solution chemistry. A 50 nm thick Nb:STO seed layer on Ni(100) acts as a template for the growth of subsequent thicker layers of Nb:STO. Nb doping improves the electrical conductivity and oxygen diffusion barrier properties of STO. YBCO grows heteroepitaxially directly on this buffer layer, resulting in a transport Jc(77 K)=1.3 MA/cm2.
Electro-Osmosis Chemistry and Water Quality (1980)

Electro-osmosis (E-O) is an effective method for stabilizing fine grained soils; the process has been used for man years for stabilizing cut slopes and embankments, and for dewatering foundations. Electo-osmotic slope stabilization is accomplished by reversing the direction of water flow away from the face of a slope. This directional change is achieved by placing anodes on the face of a slope and well pint cathodes at a distance of 10 ft-15 ft from the slope. A direct current is induced between electodes.
