IaaS Public Cloud Computing Platform Scheduling Model and Optimization Analysis (2011)

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Platform) public cloud is one mainstream service mode for public cloud computing. The design aim of one IaaS public cloud is to enlarge the hardware-usage of whole platform, optimize the virtual machine deployment and enhance the accept rate of service demand. In this paper we create one service model for IaaS public cloud, and based on the waiting-line theory to optimize the service model, the queue length and the configuration of scheduling server. And create one demand-vector based scheduling model, to filter the available host machine according to the match of demand and metadata of available resource. The scheduling model can be bonded with the virtual machine motion to reallocate the resources to guarantee the available rate of the whole platform. The feasibility of the algorithm is verified on our own IaaS public cloud computing platform.
Autonomous atmospheric compensation (AAC) of high resolution hyperspectral thermal infrared remote-sensing imagery (2000)

Atmospheric emission and absorption significantly modify the thermal infrared (TIR) radiation spectra from Earth's land surface. A new algorithm, autonomous atmospheric compensation (AAC), was developed to estimate and compensate for the atmospheric effects. The algorithm estimates from hyperspectral TIR measurements two atmospheric index parameters, the transmittance ratio, and the path radiance difference between strong and weak absorption channels near the 11.73 /spl mu/m water band. These two parameters depend on the atmospheric water and temperature distribution profiles, and thus, from them, the complete atmospheric transmittance and path radiance spectra can be predicted. The AAC algorithm is self-contained and needs no supplementary data. Its accuracy depends largely on instrument characteristics, particularly spectral and spatial resolution. Atmospheric conditions, especially humidity and temperature, and other meteorological parameters, also have some secondary impacts. The AAC algorithm was successfully applied to a hyperspectral TIR data set, and the results suggest its accuracy is comparable to that based on the in situ radiosonde measurements.
Classification of Trachoma Virus Strains by Protection of Mice from Toxic Death (1963)

Summary Twenty-nine trachoma virus strains isolated on Taiwan and nine trachoma strains and two inclusion conjunctivitis strains obtained from other areas of the world have been tested in mice for cross-protection against intravenous toxicity. Crude yolk sac suspensions of these TRIC viruses were used both for protection and challenge. Protection was produced by intravenous injection of one-third and then two-thirds a minimum lethal toxic dose 14 and 7 days prior to challenge. All 29 of the Taiwan trachoma strains fell into one of two cross-protecting groups designated as the TW-1 and TW-3 groups. Three trachoma strains from New Delhi protected against each other and members of the TW-3 group. Two trachoma strains from Apache Indians in Arizona cross-protected with the TW-1 group. A Saudi Arabia and a Gambia trachoma strain protected against each other but not against the other strains tested. Two trachoma and two inclusion conjunctivitis strains failed to cross-protect with any strain. Therefore, seven different cross-protecting types were demonstrated. It is concluded that the total number of different groups of TRIC virus strains in the mouse toxicity prevention test are not yet known, but that in a given geographic area (as exemplified by Taiwan with two groups) the number of different groups is limited.
DeeperCut: A Deeper, Stronger, and Faster Multi-Person Pose Estimation Model (2016)

The goal of this paper is to advance the state-of-the-art of articulated pose estimation in scenes with multiple people. To that end we contribute on three fronts. We propose (1) improved body part detectors that generate effective bottom-up proposals for body parts; (2) novel image-conditioned pairwise terms that allow to assemble the proposals into a variable number of consistent body part configurations; and (3) an incremental optimization strategy that explores the search space more efficiently thus leading both to better performance and significant speed-up factors. Evaluation is done on two single-person and two multi-person pose estimation benchmarks. The proposed approach significantly outperforms best known multi-person pose estimation results while demonstrating competitive performance on the task of single person pose estimation.

Capacity Fade in Solid-State Batteries: Interphase Formation and Chemomechanical Processes in Nickel-Rich Layered Oxide Cathodes and Lithium Thiophosphate Solid Electrolytes (2017)

All-solid-state lithium ion batteries may become long-term, stable, high-performance energy storage systems for the next generation of electric vehicles and consumer electronics, depending on the compatibility of electrode materials and suitable solid electrolytes. Nickel-rich layered oxides are nowadays the benchmark cathode materials for conventional lithium ion batteries because of their high storage capacity and the resulting high energy density, and their use in solid-state systems is the next necessary step. In this study, we present the successful implementation of a Li[Ni,Co,Mn]O2 material with high nickel content (LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2, NCM-811) in a bulk-type solid-state battery with β-Li3PS4 as a sulfide-based solid electrolyte. We investigate the interface behavior at the cathode and demonstrate the important role of the interface between the active materials and the solid electrolyte for the battery performance. A passivating cathode/electrolyte interphase layer forms upon charging and leads to an irreversible first cycle capacity loss, corresponding to a decomposition of the sulfide electrolyte. In situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy are used to monitor this formation. We demonstrate that most of the interphase formation takes place in the first cycle, when charging to potentials above 3.8 V vs Li+/Li. The resulting overvoltage of the passivating layer is a detrimental factor for capacity retention. In addition to the interfacial decomposition, the chemomechanical contraction of the active material upon delithiation causes contact loss between the solid electrolyte and active material particles, further increasing the interfacial resistance and capacity loss. These results highlight the critical role of (electro-)chemo-mechanical effects in solid-state batteries.
Increased Mutagenicity of Chloroethylnitrosoureas in the Presence of a Rat Liver S9 Microsome Mixture<xref ref-type="fn" rid="fn2">2</xref> (1983)

The mechanism for an enhanced effect of Aroclor 1254-induced Sprague-Dawley rat liver 9,000 x g supernatant (S9) microsome preparation on the mutagenicity of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU), 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-N-nitrosourea (CCNU), and 2-[3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosoureido]-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose (chlorozotocin) for Salmonella typhimurium strain TA1535 was studied. Although all three compounds were direct-acting mutagens, rat liver S9 increased the mutagenic response to BCNU, CCNU, and chlorozotocin. The enhanced mutagenic effect was independent of NADPH. Heat-denatured S9 enhanced the mutagenicity of BCNU and CCNU, but not that of chlorozotocin. Mutagenic enhancement, however, was less than that observed with untreated S9. The substitution of extractable S9 lipid and bovine serum albumin for S9 in the reaction mixture resulted in an enhanced mutagenicity of CCNU with little or no effect on BCNU or chlorozotocin mutagenicity. These results suggest that the enhanced mutagenicity of CCNU, and possibly that of BCNU, in the presence of S9 was due in part to nonspecific factors that are present in the S9 preparation.
State of the art of where we are at using stem cells for stress urinary incontinence (2007)

Transplanted stem cells may have the ability to undergo self-renewal and multipotent differentiation, leading to sphincter regeneration. In addition, such cells may release, or be engineered to release, neurotrophins with subsequent paracrine recruitment of endogenous host cells to concomitantly promote a regenerative response of nerve-integrated muscle. The dawn of a new paradigm in the treatment of SUI may be near.

Simple Theory, Measurements, And Rules Of Thumb For Dosimetry During Photodynamic Therapy. (1989)

Dosimetry of laser fluence rates within a tissue are required for proper planning of photodynamic therapy at a specific site on a given individual. A simple one-dimensional theory of light penetration into tissue is presented. A device for measurement of the total reflectance and the lateral diffusion of light provides a simple means for specifying the tissue optical parameters that govern laser dosimetry. Rules of thumb for complicating factors such as narrow laser beams and optical fiber delivery are discussed.

Volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath as a diagnostic tool for asthma in children (2009)

The discriminant analyses demonstrated that asthma and healthy groups are distinct from one another. A total of eight components discriminated between asthmatic and healthy children with a 92% correct classification, achieving a sensitivity of 89% and a specificity of 95%. Conclusion The results show that a limited number of VOC in exhaled air can well be used to distinguish children with asthma from healthy children.
[Amplification, cloning and sequence analysis of a SSUrRNA gene fragment of Plasmodium vivax isolates from Yunnan Province]. (1993)

According to known SSUrDNA sequences of Plasmodium vivax, correlated protozoa and human being, sequences of oligonucleotide primers were defined with computer programming. Specific SSUrDNA fragment of P. vivax, about 640 bp in length, was directly amplified by two temperature point polymerase chain reaction from extracted genomic DNA of two blood samples of vivax malaria patients from Yunnan Province. Using dideoxynucleotide terminator method, the sequences of amplified DNA fragments were determined separately and showed no difference between the two samples. However, comparison of the sequence reported by Waters AP and McCutchan TF (1989) and that of amplified fragment of Yunnan P. vivax isolates revealed the existence of nucleotide substitution and deletion which occurred respectively in the sites 269 and 630, and resulted in the change of restriction map.
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma - A Case Report - (2000)

Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumor. Few cases on fine needle aspiration cytology have been reported in the literature. We experienced a case of recurrent alveolar soft part sarcoma of the right thigh diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology in a 47-year-old man. Cytologic findings showed single cells and clusters associated with thin wailed vasculature in a distinct pseudo-alveolar pattern. The tumor cells exhibited round or ovoid abundant granular cytoplasm and large pleomorphic nuclei with prominent central nucleoli.
Relational Database Watermarking for Ownership Protection (2012)

With the widespread popularity of Internet, the use of databases has increased tremendously and theft of the database is a main concern for the database owners. Therefore, it is essential to protect the ownership of the database. In this paper, a new technique of database watermarking is proposed which based on inserting the bits of a binary image in relational database. The proposed technique also minimizes the variation in watermarked database. Experimental results justify the feasibility of the proposed technique and its robustness against common database attacks.
Use of a sigmoidal-shaped function for noise attenuation in cochlear implants (2007)

A new noise reduction algorithm is proposed for cochlear implants that applies attenuation to the noisy envelopes inversely proportional to the estimated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in each channel. The performance of the proposed noise reduction algorithm is evaluated with nine Clarion CII cochlear implant patients using IEEE sentences embedded in multi-talker babble and speech-shaped noise at 0-10 dB SNR. Results indicate that the sigmoidal-shaped weighting function produces significant improvements to speech recognition compared to the subjects' daily strategy. Much of the success of the proposed noise reduction algorithm is attributed to the improved temporal envelope contrast.
Gait Biomechanics of a Second Generation Unstable Shoe (2014)

The recent popularity of unstable shoes has sparked much interest in the efficacy of the shoe design. Anecdotal evidence suggests that earlier designs appear bulky and less aesthetically appealing for everyday use. The purpose of this study was to examine effects of a second generation unstable shoe on center of pressure (COP), ground reaction force (GRF), kinematics, and kinetics of the ankle joint during level walking at normal and fast speeds. In addition, findings were compared with results from the first generation shoe. Fourteen healthy males performed five successful level walking trials in four testing conditions: walking in unstable and control shoes at normal (1.3 m/s) and fast (1.8 m/s) speeds. The unstable shoe resulted in an increase in mediolateral COP displacement, first peak vertical GRF loading rate, braking GRF, ankle eversion range of motion (ROM), and inversion moment; as well as a decrease in anteroposterior COP displacement, second peak vertical GRF, ankle plantarflexion ROM, and dorsiflexion moment. Only minor differences were found between the shoe generations. Results of the generational comparisons suggest that the lower-profile second generation shoe may be as effective at achieving the desired unstable effects while promoting a smoother transition from heel contact through toe off compared with the first generation shoe.
Legal review: AIDS patient records--legal issues of access and disclosure. (1990)

All 50 states require AIDS cases to be reported to the department of health. Many jurisdictions require HIV and ARC reporting, as well. Many states have also enacted confidentiality provisions that prohibit health care providers from releasing HIV-related information without the patient's consent, although exceptions to the statutes authorize disclosure without consent to other health providers, spouses, and other persons under certain conditions set forth in the legislation. In addition, the patient may obtain access to his or her own records and may authorize release to third parties. Providers who violate the provisions are subject to liability. The patient usually has a private cause of action for damages and costs; in addition, the state may impose fines and jail terms for more egregious violations. Finally, courts may authorize disclosure of confidential HIV information in certain situations. In the absence of a statutory provision governing court-ordered disclosures, courts will balance the patient's privacy interest against the plaintiff's need to know and the public interest involved. Several states have enacted statutes that modify this traditional balancing approach, although it is unclear whether these statutes provide additional protection for health care providers and patients seeking to prevent disclosure of information. Health record practitioners should keep abreast of legislative and regulatory developments in their states that affect use and disclosure of AIDS patient records. Careful discussion with the health institutions' legal counsel of any situation not covered clearly by applicable statue or regulation is strongly recommended.
Estrogens and Autoimmune Diseases (2006)

Sex hormones are implicated in the immune response, with estrogens as enhancers at least of the humoral immunity and androgens and progesterone (and glucocorticoids) as natural immune-suppressors . Several physiological, pathological, and therapeutic conditions may change the serum estrogen milieu and/or peripheral conversion rate, including the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum period, menopause, being elderly, chronic stress, altered circadian rhythms, inflammatory cytokines, and use of corticosteroids, oral contraceptives, and steroid hormonal replacements, inducing altered androgen/estrogen ratios and related effects. In particular, cortisol and melatonin circadian rhythms are altered, at least in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and partially involve sex hormone circadian synthesis and levels as well. Abnormal regulation of aromatase activity (i.e., increased activity) by inflammatory cytokine production (i.e., TNF-alpha, IL-1, and IL-6) may partially explain the abnormalities of peripheral estrogen synthesis in RA (i.e., increased availability of 17-beta estradiol and possible metabolites in synovial fluids) and in systemic lupus erythematosus, as well as the altered serum sex-hormone levels and ratio (i.e., decreased androgens and DHEAS). In the synovial fluids of RA patients, the increased estrogen concentration is observed in both sexes and is more specifically characterized by the hydroxylated forms, in particular 16alpha-hydroxyestrone, which is a mitogenic and cell proliferative endogenous hormone. Local effects of sex hormones in autoimmune rheumatic diseases seems to consist mainly in modulation of cell proliferation and cytokine production (i.e., TNF-alpha, Il-1, IL-12). In this respect, it is interesting that male patients with RA seem to profit more from anti-TNFalpha strategies than do female patients.
