Quality-of-service routing in IP networks (2001)

Multimedia applications such as video-conferencing, telemedicine, HDTV, etc. have very stringent quality-of-service (QoS) demands and require a connection-oriented service. For these applications, a path satisfying their requirements in terms of bandwidth, delay buffer, etc. needs to be found. As conventional IP routing is based only on hop counts, it is not suitable for multimedia applications. It is clear that, to route requests that have QoS requirements, existing routers should be made QoS aware and the packet forwarding should be based on QoS parameters. Also, routing protocols like OSPF and RIP must be extended suitably to facilitate QoS routing. The goal of QoS routing algorithms is to find a loop-less path satisfying a given set of constraints on parameters like bandwidth, delay, etc. The path selection process could return either the entire path to the destination or the best next hop for the request. The first case is called "source routing" and the second is referred to as "distributed routing". In this paper, we propose a new distributed QoS routing algorithm for unicast flows, which has a very low call establishment overhead. Our algorithm makes use of existing IP routing protocols such as OSPF and RIP with minimal modifications.
Theory of Galvano-Thermomagnetic Energy Conversion Devices. V. Devices Constructed from Anisotropic Materials (1963)

Operating characteristics of galvano-thermomagnetic generators and refrigerators for any anisotropic material are summarized in tabular form for both the longitudinal (thermoelectric) and transverse (Nernst) devices and for isothermal and adiabatic operating conditions. In the most general case, device performance is governed not only by the figure of merit, but also by an anisotropy factor. This factor involves off-diagonal elements of the Nernst and Seebeck tensors for Nernst devices and diagonal elements of the Nernst and Seebeck tensors for thermoelectric devices. It is believed that the ``Umkehr'' effect (such as observed in Bi) is due to a nonvanishing diagonal component of the Nernst tensor.

Delineation of Five Thyroglobulin T Cell Epitopes with Pathogenic Potential in Experimental Autoimmune Thyroiditis (2002)

Experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) is a T cell-mediated disease that can be induced in mice after challenge with thyroglobulin (Tg) or Tg peptides. To date, five pathogenic Tg peptides have been identified, four of which are clustered toward the C-terminal end. Because susceptibility to EAT is under control of H-2A(k) genes, we have used an algorithm-based approach to identify A(k)-binding peptides with pathogenic potential within mouse Tg. Eight candidate synthetic peptides, varying in size from 9 to 15 aa, were tested and five of those (p306, p1579, p1826, p2102, and p2596) were found to induce EAT in CBA/J (H-2(k)) mice either after direct challenge with peptide in adjuvant or by adoptive transfer of peptide-sensitized lymph node cells (LNCs) into naive hosts. These pathogenic peptides were immunogenic at the T cell level, eliciting specific LNC proliferative responses and IL-2 and/or IFN-gamma secretion in recall assays in vitro, but contained nondominant epitopes. All immunogenic peptides were confirmed as A(k) binders because peptide-specific LNC proliferation was blocked by an A(k)-specific mAb, but not by a control mAb. Peptide-specific serum IgG was induced only by p2102 and p2596, but these Abs did not bind to intact mouse Tg. This study reaffirms the predictive value of A(k)-binding motifs in epitope mapping and doubles the number of known pathogenic T cell determinants in Tg that are now found scattered throughout the length of this large autoantigen. This knowledge may contribute toward our understanding of the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroiditis.
Semantic role labeling using dependency trees (2004)

In this paper, a novel semantic role labeler based on dependency trees is developed. This is accomplished by formulating the semantic role labeling as a classification problem of dependency relations into one of several semantic roles. A dependency tree is created from a constituency parse of an input sentence. The dependency tree is then linearized into a sequence of dependency relations. A number of features are extracted for each dependency relation using a predefined linguistic context. Finally, the features are input to a set of one-versus-all support vector machine (SVM) classifiers to determine the corresponding semantic role label. We report results on CoNLL2004 shared task data using the representation and scoring scheme adopted for that task.
Film-Collection Program<!--<xref ref-type="other" rid="fn1-10.5594_J12563">*</xref>--> (1949)

The Library of Congress attempted to restore to the screen the first twenty years of motion picture achievements by the optical printing of photographic paper rolls submitted for copyright registration from 1897 to 1917, but Congress refused to provide funds for the work. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, with the co-operation of The Library of Congress, now undertakes to do this work.
Influence of the Angle of Incidence on Sputtering Yields (1959)

Small metal spheres are bombarded by uniform Hg+ ion beams of low energy (125 to 800 ev). Comparison of shadow micrographs of the spheres before and after sputtering makes it possible to determine the influence of the angle of incidence on sputtering yields. Fe, Ta, and Mo showed a pronounced increase in yield at more oblique incidence of the ions while Au, Ag, and Pt showed this effect only slightly.
E-commerce - an introduction (2000)

The e-enablement of business is simply a logical step in a progression which has taken business from the model of the privately owned, self-contained trading unit through to a publicly owned and traded enterprise, integrated into its markets, supply chains and culture. The technology of e-commerce provides businesses with an unprecedented ability to communicate directly with their market. At the consumer level, Web surfing is a very personal activity. An individual customer makes personal contact with the information systems of a potential supplier directly via their Web browser. The availability of active content, personal identification (via the acceptance and analysis of `cookies' or via exchange of personal digital certificates) and of sophisticated customer databases has allowed businesses to develop very personal relationships with their customers.
Anatomy of the rat knee joint and fibre composition of a major articular nerve (1991)

Several recent reports discuss the role of joint nerves in arthritis. Many of these are based on studies in the rat. The aim of this study is to examine the anatomy of the rat knee joint, in search for a primary articular nerve, and to analyze the fibre composition of that nerve. The results show that the structure of the joint differs in some respects from the human knee. At the upper end of the bony patella a cartilaginous patella extends proximally, forming the anterior wall of the suprapatellar bursa. Distinct collateral ligaments are integrated in the joint capsule. The extensor digitorum longus muscle bridges the knee joint, originating from the lateral femoral epicondyle. The well-developed menisci contain pyramid-shaped ossicles. The cruciate ligaments are arranged like in the human knee. A large posterior (PAN) and a small medial (MAN) articular nerve can be identified. The PAN is composed of some 400 axons, about 80% of which are unmyelinated. All myelinated fibres are sensory. They present a unimodal size spectrum with a size range of 1-8 microns, and a predominance of small fibres. Specific denervations indicate that about 1/3 of the unmyelinated axons represent afferents, and some 2/3 are sympathetic efferents. Interestingly, neonatal capsaicin treatment did not influence the number of unmyelinated PAN axons. The functional significance of the numerous unmyelinated sympathetic and sensory PAN axons in the normal knee joint remains to be elucidated.

Exploration of Genes That Encode a Carbocycle-Forming Enzyme Involved in Biosynthesis of Aminoglycoside Antibiotics from the Environmental DNA (2006)

2-Deoxy-scyllo-inosose (DOI) synthase is the enzyme participating in biosynthesis of 2-deoxystreptamine (DOS)-containing aminoglycoside antibiotics. The gene which encodes the enzyme can be a marker for screening of DOS-containing aminoglycoside-producer and exploration of its biosynthetic gene. Further, this enzyme is expected to be of use in industry, because it converts sugar into 6-membered carbocycle. In the present study, we identified 21 clones encoding DOI synthase from environmental DNA by degenerate PCR. They were clearly divided into two groups. One appeared to derive from actinomycetes, and the other from non-actinomycetes. The latter group was larger (17 clones) than the former (four clones) despite the fact that only one strain of non-actinomycete was identified for DOS-containing aminoglycoside production. This result indicates that there are still many unidentified non-actinomycetes for DOS-containing aminoglycoside biosynthesis. We showed the possibility of identification of novel aminoglycoside-producing non-actinomycete from soil, and for development of more efficient enzymes for industrial use.
Isolation and characterization of a gene for a ryanodine receptor/calcium release channel in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> (1994)

The nucleotide sequence of a 25.7 kilobase Drosophila melanogaster genomic DNA segment containing a gene for a ryanodine receptor/calcium release channel homologue has been determined. Computer analysis and partial cDNA cloning revealed 26 exons comprising the protein-coding sequence in this gene. The predicted protein is homologous in amino acid sequence and shares characteristic structural features with the mammalian ryanodine receptors. In blot hybridization analysis, a approximately 16 kilobase RNA species was identified abundantly in a 6-12 h embryo as the transcript from this gene. In situ hybridization to polytene chromosomes indicated that this gene locates at band position 44F on the second chromosome.
Implementing Structured Participation for Regional Level Waste Management Planning (2005)

The siting or development of risky facilities, such as nuclear power plants or waste repositories, remains an intractable policy problem for all democratic nations. In this valuable new book, the authors present a comparative study of various siting controversies in North America, Asia, Europe and Australia. They argue that devising effective policies for dealing with siting conflicts will require social learning and changes in both institutional design and policy process.
Fucosidosis: ultrastructural study of conjunctiva and skin and enzyme analysis of tears. (1976)

Conjunctival and skin biopsies from two new patients with fucosidosis were studied by electron microscopy. In both tissues, the connective tissue cells and the capillary endothelial cells were filled with single membrane limited inclusions of two types: (1) Clear inclusions containing a fibrillogranular reticulum. (2) Dark inclusions with a dense granular material. Specific stainings in ultrastructure suggest that these inclusions contain oligosaccharide chains. The ultrastructural aspect is characteristic for fucosidosis. Enzyme studies on tears realized an easy and secure technique for the diagnosis of the disease.
Transfer in reinforcement learning via shared features (2012)

We present a framework for transfer in reinforcement learning based on the idea that related tasks share some common features, and that transfer can be achieved via those shared features. The framework attempts to capture the notion of tasks that are related but distinct, and provides some insight into when transfer can be usefully applied to a problem sequence and when it cannot. We apply the framework to the knowledge transfer problem, and show that an agent can learn a portable shaping function from experience in a sequence of tasks to significantly improve performance in a later related task, even given a very brief training period. We also apply the framework to skill transfer, to show that agents can learn portable skills across a sequence of tasks that significantly improve performance on later related tasks, approaching the performance of agents given perfectly learned problem-specific skills.
O lugar do (tele)jornalismo nas reivindicações sociais: nas ruas e nas telas. Porcello, Flávio; Vizue, Alfredo; Coutinho, Iluska (org.) #Telejornalismo: nas ruas e nas telas. Florianópolis: Insular, 2014 (2014)

The book “#telejornalismo: nas ruas e nas telas” approaches a current discussion about the role of the media in the society, which is interesting for professionals and researchers from Communication as well as for general public. Taking the demonstrations of June, 2013 as the central subject, the book, which gathers 10 papers from different researchers, reflects about the journalistic practice. It includes considerations about the presence of the media in the demonstrations, which was criticized by the people who took part of it, going until the use of new technologies. The reading is important for thinking about the role of the media as well as of the public, who is becoming an author and an agent of the news
Poselet Key-Framing: A Model for Human Activity Recognition (2013)

In this paper, we develop a new model for recognizing human actions. An action is modeled as a very sparse sequence of temporally local discriminative key frames - collections of partial key-poses of the actor(s), depicting key states in the action sequence. We cast the learning of key frames in a max-margin discriminative framework, where we treat key frames as latent variables. This allows us to (jointly) learn a set of most discriminative key frames while also learning the local temporal context between them. Key frames are encoded using a spatially-localizable pose let-like representation with HoG and BoW components learned from weak annotations, we rely on structured SVM formulation to align our components and mine for hard negatives to boost localization performance. This results in a model that supports spatio-temporal localization and is insensitive to dropped frames or partial observations. We show classification performance that is competitive with the state of the art on the benchmark UT-Interaction dataset and illustrate that our model outperforms prior methods in an on-line streaming setting.
The Influence of the Religious Factors on the Electoral Option – Quantitative Analysis (2010)

In this study there are presented a series of aspects concerning the religious behavior of the Romanian population. By using quantitative analysis we have identified a series of religious key factors which can be used by parties and politicians to obtain votes during election campaigns. The obtained results highlight the fact that people with a lower level of education are more receptive to the political messages transmitted by religious means. Also, the influence of political actions and messages having a religious character is more powerful at the level of the population with a lower standard of living. By means of quantitative analysis we have also evaluated the impact of religious and ethnical fractionalization on the political representation in the national parliament.
A time-resolved photoacoustic calorimetry study of the dynamics of enthalpy and volume changes produced in the photodissociation of carbon monoxide from sperm whale carboxymyoglobin (1987)

The dynamics of the enthalpy and volume changes produced in the photodissociation of carbon monoxide from sperm whale myoglobin is investigated by time-resolved photoacoustic calorimetry. The enthalpy and volume changes for the formation of the geminate pair, which occurs within 50 ns of photolysis, are delta H = -2.2 +/- 2.8 kcal/mol and delta V = -10.0 +/- 1.0 mL/mol relative to carboxymyoglobin. The enthalpy and volume changes associated with formation of deoxymyoglobin and solvated carbon monoxide, formed with a half-life of 702 +/- 31 ns at 20 degrees C, are delta H = 14.6 +/- 3.4 kcal/mol and delta V = 5.8 +/- 1.0 mL/mol relative to carboxymyoglobin.
Survival of a Psychrophilic Marine Vibrio Under Long-Term Nutrient Starvation (1977)

Ant-300, a psychrophilic marine vibrio isolated from the surface water of the Antarctic convergence, was starved for periods of more than 1 year. During the first week of starvation, cell numbers increased from 100 to 800% of the initial number of cells. Fifty percent of the starved cells remained viable for 6 to 7 weeks while a portion of the population remained viable for more than 1 year. During the first 2 days of starvation, the endogenous respiration of the cells decreased over 80%. After 7 days, respiration had been reduced to 0.0071% total carbon respired per hour and remained constant thereafter. After 6 weeks of starvation, 46% of the cellular deoxyribonucleic acid had been degraded. Observation of the cellular deoxyribonucleic acid with Feulgen staining before starvation showed the average number of nuclear bodies per cell varied from 1.44 to 4.02 depending on the age of the culture. A linear relationship was found between the number of nuclear bodies per cell and the increase in cell numbers upon starvation. Our data suggest that Ant-300 is capable of surviving long periods of time with little or no nutrients and is therefore well adapted for the sparse nutrient conditions of the colder portions of the open ocean.
Pre-Existing Inflammation Induced by TNF-Alpha Augments Cryosurgery on Human Prostate Cancer (2003)

Vascular injury is a major mechanism of cryosurgical destruction. The extent of vascular injury may be affected by the addition of molecular adjuvants. This study, in addition to determining the injury mechanism in the LNCaP Pro 5 human prostate cancer line grown in a nude mouse, examines the effect of cytokine TNF-α on cryosurgery of an in vivo microvascular preparation (Dorsal Skin Flap Chamber). Cryosurgery was performed in the chamber on either normal skin or tumor tissue. The area of vascular injury observed with FITC-labeled dextran quantitatively corresponded to the area of necrosis observed in histologic section after 3 days (p>0.5). There was complete destruction of the vasculature in the center of the lesion followed by an abrupt change to normal patency moving radially outward. A comparison of injury data to a thermal model indicated that the minimum temperature required for causing necrosis was 3.5±6.9°C in TNF-α-treated LNCaP Pro 5 tumor tissue (n = 4) and −9.8±5.8°C in TNF-α-treated normal skin of the nude mouse (n = 4). Comparing to tissues without TNF-α treatment, where the minimum temperature required for causing necrosis was −16.5±4.3°C in LNCaP Pro 5 human prostate tumor tissue (n = 8) and −24.4±7.0°C in normal skin of the nude mouse (n = 9), comparable to those found in the Copenhagen rat (p>0.05), the results indicated the local use of TNF-α would dramatically increase the thermal threshold of cryo-destruction by more than 10°C (p<0.01). In addition, the size of lesion from cryosurgery was larger in tumor tissue than that in normal skin after the same thermal history, either with or without TNF-α treatment (p<0.05). These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that vascular-mediated injury is responsible for defining the edge of the cryolesion in microvascular-perfused tissue, and therefore induced inflammation would augment cryoinjury. The local use of TNF-α to pre-inflame prostate cancer promises to increase both the ability of freezing to destroy cancer as well as improving the ability of ultrasound or other iceball-monitoring techniques to predict the outcome of the treatment.Copyright © 2003 by ASME
Piezoelectric characterisation of porous piezoceramics (2002)

The characterization of piezoelectric materials is a well-known matter supported by several international standards -IEEE, -IEC. The assumptions normally accepted about the material properties in the standards are low dielectric and mechanical losses and material homogeneity. Some commercial piezoceramics have a porosity about 10% or even higher. The pore space is normally interconnected and filled with oils or polymers. Therefore the material is no more homogeneous and even the losses are not negligible. These materials, widely used to fabricate broad-band transducers, must be accurately characterized if good modelling work is to be undertaken. Some singular results when characterizing these materials following the standards are reported. In particular, the strong influence of the minor phase on the global properties of a porous ceramic is analyzed. The change of the main elastic, dielectric and piezoelectric parameters of some porous ceramics when different fillers are used is reviewed. Moreover, the dynamic behavior of the ceramic is also strongly affected by the properties of the minor phase. All these differences are justified in terms of a model which takes into account the different ways in which the two phases of the porous ceramic interact. The appearance of forbidden mechanical resonances are reported and analyzed in this paper. A characterization procedure based on the measurements of the complex coefficients is used together with the standard methods.
