Investigating the Accuracy of 3D Models Created Using SfM (2017)

Investigating the Accuracy of 3D Models Created Using SfM Kosei Ishida Pages 834-839 (2017 Proceedings of the 34rd ISARC, Taipei, Taiwan, ISBN 978-80-263-1371-7, ISSN 2413-5844) Abstract: Technological innovations in photogrammetry have progressed over time, and civil engineers in Japan have employed this technology for earthworks. Photogrammetry has also been introduced to building construction work, and in particular, it is used in the surveying of buildings and the production of architectural drawings in repair work. With this motivation, the authors evaluate the accuracy of Three-dimensional (3D) model extraction using structure from motion (SfM) photogrammetry. In particular, the authors evaluate the accuracy of the height measurements (Z axis). The authors survey the accuracy of a 3D model using a cube with a side length of 5 cm. Our surveying procedure consists of the following four steps: 1. Place the cube on a turntable, rotate the turntable in 5° increment, and capture 72 photographs. 2. Select 12 photographs considering six control points. Edit the control points given their 3D positions in each of the 12 photographs. 3. Extract the 3D model using SfM software. 4. Import the 3D model and measure the height of the cube at 121 points. In this paper, we discuss the differences in the measurement accuracy resulting from the differences in the camera position.

Differential Expression of Steroidogenic Factor-1 and FTF/LRH-1 in the Rodent Ovary (2003)

Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) (NR5A1) is an orphan nuclear receptor that plays a premier role in ovarian organogenesis. Recent studies document mRNA expression of the structurally related factor NR5A2 (FTF, LRH-1, SF-2) in the adult ovary and more specifically in granulosa cells and luteal cells but not theca cells. Conversely, SF-1 was shown to be expressed at higher levels in theca/interstitial cells. These latter observations raised the possibility that FTF/LRH-1 may control target gene expression in granulosa cells of developing follicles. Using quantitative PCR our results show that FTF/LRH-1 message is expressed at higher levels in the ovary than in liver or other tissues analyzed. We show by in situ hybridization and LacZ expression in ovaries of transgenic mice bearing an FTF-promoter-LacZ fusion gene that FTF/LRH-1 is selectively expressed in granulosa cells of rat and mouse ovaries and is not present in theca cells or interstitial cells. However, by a variety of approaches, we showed that SF-1 mRNA and protein are expressed in greater amounts than FTF/LRH-1 in granulosa cells of follicles at all stages of development. Expression of SF-1 mRNA and protein in granulosa cells was verified by in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry of ovarian sections, and immunocytochemistry of cultured rat granulosa cells. The significance of SF-1 in regulating target gene activation was supported by EMSA. An abundant granulosa cell protein binding to the SF-1-binding motif (CCAAGGTCA) present in the aromatase promoter and an FTF/LRH-1 motif (TGTCCTTGAACA) in the alpha-fetoprotein promoter was supershifted by two SF-1-specific antibodies but not by an FTF antibody. Conversely, with the same probes, a less abundant protein/DNA complex present in liver and ovarian cell extracts was shifted by an FTF antibody but not by the SF-1 antibodies. SF-1 and FTF/LRH-1 were differentially regulated in vivo by estradiol, FSH and prolactin. Collectively these data indicate that granulosa cells of small and preovulatory follicles express both SF-1 and FTF/LRH-1 and that each orphan receptor may regulate target gene expression in these cells.

High-voltage bias testing of thin-film PV modules (2003)

Grid-connected PV systems must withstand high voltage bias in addition to harsh environmental conditions. High leakage currents can lead to electromigration and degradation, and thus become important issues for reliability and safety. This paper describes high voltage bias testing of thin-film PV modules in hot and humid conditions in Florida. Sudden rise in RH caused by sudden drop in temperature during the day resulted in sharp peaks in leakage current. Leakage currents for a typical clear sunny day in summer were approximately double compared to corresponding values in winter. Low-resistance paths created with the passage of time increased the leakage current continuously indicating probable exponential growth in leakage currents. Leakage currents increased proportionately to applied voltage bias, at least up to 600 V, showing potential of the technique as an excellent acceleration test.
A policy based role object model (2002)

Enterprise roles define the duties and responsibilities of the individuals which are assigned to them. This paper introduces a framework for the management of large distributed systems which makes use of the concepts developed in role theory. Our concept of a role groups the specifications of management policies which define the rights and duties corresponding to that role. Individuals may then be assigned to or withdrawn from a role, to enable rapid and flexible organisational change, without altering the specification of the policies. We extend this role concept to include relationships as means of specifying required interactions, duties and rights between related roles. Organisations may contain large numbers of similar roles with multiple relationships between them, so there is a need for reuse of specifications. Role and relationship classes permit multiple instantiation and inheritance used for incremental extension of the organisational structure with minimal specification effort. We also briefly examine consistency and auditing issues related to this role framework.
Blind Adaptive Chromatic Dispersion Compensation and Estimation for DSP-Based Coherent Optical Systems (2013)

We propose an accurate and low-complexity blind adaptive algorithm for chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation and estimation in coherent optical systems. The method is based on a Frequency Domain Equalizer (FDE), a low complexity Time Domain Equalizer arranged in a butterfly structure (B-TDE) and an Optical Performance Monitoring (OPM) block in a loop configuration. The loop is such that, at each iteration, the CD value compensated by the B-TDE and estimated by the OPM is given to the FDE; according to this estimation, in the subsequent iteration, the FDE compensates also this quantity. The procedure is repeated until the majority of CD is compensated by the FDE and a small residual quantity is compensated by a low complexity B-TDE with a small number of taps. The method is extended to long haul uncompensated links exploiting the information on the mean square error (MSE) provided by the B-TDE. The proposed algorithm is then experimentally validated for a polarization multiplexed quadrature phase shift keying (PM-QPSK) signal at 112 Gbit/s propagating along 1000 km of uncompensated Z PLUS® optical fiber. A statistical analysis of the performance of the proposed solution, in terms of mean value and standard deviation of the CD estimation error, is carried out, running a set of simulations including different impairments, such as noise, polarization dependent loss, polarization mode dispersion and self-phase modulation in a line of 1000 km of uncompensated G.652 optical fiber. Our method could be used to compensate and estimate any CD quantity without increasing the number of taps in the B-TDE and exploiting devices already included in the system (TDE, FDE and OPM) arranged in a loop.
Japanese approaches to multi-script database provision (1998)

This paper is based on research carried out in Japan during 1996 with the support of a Travelling Scholarship from the Victorian Association for Library Automation. I was able to visit approximately thirty libraries and information services and to conduct detailed interviews with staff in about half of these. I chose institutions known to have large multi-lingual collections in various parts of Japan. These are drawn mostly from the university and public library sector, though they also include special libraries and centralised information agencies. The purpose of my research was to investigate the provision in Japan of multi-language and multi-script bibliographic databases, that is systems which combine records in different languages and scripts within the same database. This paper discusses practical and theoretical issues in multi-script database creation, describes sample implementations and examines prospects for future development.
Direct Oxidative Conversion of Alcohols, Amines, Aldehydes, and Benzyl Halides into the Corresponding Nitriles with Trichloroisocyanuric Acid in Aqueous Ammonia (2010)

A new and efficient procedure for the one-pot conversion of various alcohols, aldehydes and primary amines into the corresponding nitriles in excellent yields was easily achieved by trichloro­isocyanuric acid (TCCA) as an oxidant and reagent in aqueous ammonia. Also, various benzylic halides were smoothly and directly converted into the corresponding aromatic nitriles in high yields under the same conditions.
Glycosyl-Nucleoside Lipids as Low-Molecular-Weight Gelators (2009)

A family of new glycosyl-nucleoside lipids (GNLs) that were prepared using a convenient "double click" chemistry route is described. Physicochemical studies (surface tension measurements, gelation properties, and transmission electron microscopy) indicate that these amphiphiles spontaneously assemble into supramolecular structures including fibers, vesicles, hydrogels, and organogels. GNLs possess unique gelation properties both in water and chloroform. A very low minimum gelation concentration of 0.1% (w/w) was observed in the case of the amide-saturated derivative in water.
Changes in gene expression in the leafy cotyledon1 (lec1) and fusca3 (fus3) mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana L. (2000)

Arabidopsis thaliana L. leafy cotyledon1 (lec1) and fusca3 (fus3) mutants show multiple phenotypic defects during seed development. In this report the effects of these mutations are examined at the molecular level. The patterns of protein accumulation in lec1 and fus3 seeds are severly altered. In lec1 seeds the steady-state mRNA levels of several late embryogenesis genes were reduced. Different patterns of expression were observed, indicating the occurrence of several regulatory pathways. The effect of lec1 mutations on the expression of the late-embryogenesis abundant AtEm1 gene was examined in detail. In lec1-1 seeds, the AtEm1 gene was expressed at a higher level than in the wild type and earlier in development. The activity of an AtEm1 promoter/beta-glucuronidase reporter gene construct in transgenic A. thaliana plants was studied. Changes in promoter activity in lec1-1 with respect to wild-type seeds were correlated with changes in corresponding mRNA steady-state levels. fus3-2 mutation produced similar changes in AtEm1 promoter activity as lec1-1, which is consistent with the hypothesis that LEC1 and FUS3 might act in the same regulatory pathway. Transgenic analysis using 5'-promoter deletions demonstrated that at least two regions of AtEm1 gene promoter interact with the LEC1-dependent transcriptional regulatory pathway. In spite of expression of the AtEm1 promoter and accumulation of AtEm1 mRNA, the corresponding Em1 protein does not accumulate in lec1-1 seeds. The ABA inducibility of the AtEm1 promoter was not affected by the lec1 mutation.

RNase H of human leukemic cells: a new biological parameter in the study of human leukemias (review). (1990)

This article reviews the authors' investigation of the enzyme RNase H (EC 3.1.4.34.) in human leukemic cells and presents the accumulated available data, based on which this enzyme is proposed to serve as a new biological parameter in the study of progression of human leukemias. The introduction gives a brief account of the occurrence, characterization and possible biological role of RNase H in cells and in retroviruses. The results reviewed briefly concern: (1) the development of a new convenient, economic and reliable assay for normal and leukemic blood mononuclear cell RNase H, which is capable of resolving subtle activity differences between samples; (2) the differentiation of RNase H levels between normal and leukemic cells; (3) the correlation of RNase H levels from different leukemia types with the severity of the disease; (4) the correlation of RNase H levels in leukemic cells with clonogenic stages in the clonal differentiation pathway; (5) the predictive potential of a RNase H activity-based parameter (phi) in assessing progression in acute myelocytic leukemia and (6) the possibility of differentiation of the RNase H levels between normal and leukemic cells via regulation of the enzyme activity at the level of antagonistic phosphorylations mediated by cAMP and calmodulin.
High Strain Rate Response of an Elastomer (2006)

Pressure‐shear plate impact experiments are used to study the nonlinear dynamic response of an elastomer at shearing rates of 105 – 106 s−1. Samples with thicknesses in the range 100 μm – 400 μm are cast between two hard steel plates. Because of the comparatively low impedance of the elastomer, longitudinal waves reverberating through the thickness of the sample — and recorded with a laser interferometer — are used to determine the isentrope of the material under uniaxial strain compression. Once the sample is fully compressed a shear wave arrives and imposes a simple shearing deformation. From the transverse velocity, measured interferometrically at the rear surface of the sandwich target, the shear stress and the transverse velocity at the rear surface of the sample are determined. These measurements provide an indication of the shearing resistance of the material under pressure. When the longitudinal unloading wave arrives from the rear surface of the target, these same measurements provide an indication of the shearing resistance of the material at zero pressure. Because the sample adheres to the bounding plates the reflection of unloading waves from both the rear surface of the flyer and the rear surface of the target allows the sample to be strained in uniaxial extension. Thus, from a single experiment, one obtains the response of the elastomer in uniaxial strain compression, simple shear and uniaxial strain extension.
Multiple-stable anisotropic magnetoresistance memory in antiferromagnetic MnTe (2016)

Commercial magnetic memories rely on the bistability of ordered spins in ferromagnetic materials. Recently, experimental bistable memories have been realized using fully compensated antiferromagnetic metals. Here we demonstrate a multiple-stable memory device in epitaxial MnTe, an antiferromagnetic counterpart of common II-VI semiconductors. Favourable micromagnetic characteristics of MnTe allow us to demonstrate a smoothly varying zero-field antiferromagnetic anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) with a harmonic angular dependence on the writing magnetic field angle, analogous to ferromagnets. The continuously varying AMR provides means for the electrical read-out of multiple-stable antiferromagnetic memory states, which we set by heat-assisted magneto-recording and by changing the writing field direction. The multiple stability in our memory is ascribed to different distributions of domains with the Néel vector aligned along one of the three magnetic easy axes. The robustness against strong magnetic field perturbations combined with the multiple stability of the magnetic memory states are unique properties of antiferromagnets.
Loss of membranous E‐cadherin expression in pancreatic cancer: Correlation with lymph node metastasis, high grade, and advanced stage (1994)

Epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin) is a Ca(2+)-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecule that connects cells via homotypic interactions. Its function is critical in the induction and maintenance of cell polarity and differentiation, and its loss of downregulation is associated with an invasive and poorly differentiated phenotype in colon and other tumors. We have used an avidin-biotin immunoperoxidase technique to localize E-cadherin in microwave-treated, paraffin-embedded sections from 36 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinomas. E-cadherin was expressed by normal ductal and acinar cells with typical membranous staining at the intercellular junctions. Loss of normal surface E-cadherin expression was found in 19/36 (53 per cent) tumours compared to the adjacent normal ductal cells. Abnormal E-cadherin expression was found more frequently in poorly differentiated (grade III) (6/7, 86 per cent) than in well-differentiated tumors (grade I) (4/14, 28 per cent) (P = 0.012). Membranous E-cadherin expression was also lost more frequently in primary tumours with lymph node (stage III) (14/23, 61 per cent) and distant metastasis (stage IV) (2/2, 100 per cent) compared with 3/11 (27 per cent) lymph node-negative tumours (stage I) (P = 0.043). In conclusions, our data indicate that loss of membranous E-cadherin expression is associated with high grade and advanced stage in pancreatic cancer.
Developments in broad-beam, ion-source technology and applications (1982)

Recent advances in broad-beam, ion-source technology are summarized, including low-energy ion optics, improved extraction grid fabrication, a compact ion-source design and a gridless ion-source design. Recent applications have emphasized concepts such as stress modification of vapor deposited films, very low energy ion beams to minimize the physical sputtering portion in reactive etching, and the use of multiple sources and targets to sputter deposit alloys and compounds. A comprehensive critical review by the same authors appears concurrently, describing in detail the developments in broad-beam, ion-source technology1 and the applications of these sources.2
Effect of hyperthermia on combination interferon treatment: enhancement of the antiproliferative activity against murine B-16 melanoma. (1986)

Previous studies have evaluated the effects of hyperthermia on the antiproliferative activity of interferon. The activities of all three types of interferon have been shown to be synergistically enhanced by hyperthermic conditions. Further, the antiproliferative activity of interferon has been shown to be synergistically enhanced by combinations of gamma-plus alpha- or beta-interferon. The question remained whether combining these two methods of enhancing interferon activity would lead to an even higher level of enhancement of antiproliferative activity or to an antagonism of their separate effects. To address this question, mouse B-16 melanoma cells were cloned at 37.3 degrees C and at 39.4 degrees C in the presence of various combinations of murine alpha/beta- and gamma-interferon. Potentiation of interferon's antiproliferative activity by combination interferon treatment was found to occur at both temperatures. Moreover, the level of potentiation was synergistically enhanced by hyperthermic conditions. The results suggest that a combined treatment regimen of hyperthermia and combination interferon therapy (gamma- plus alpha- or beta-interferon) may provide a highly potent antitumor effect.
