LBA: Lifetime balanced data aggregation in low duty cycle sensor networks (2012)

This paper proposes LBA, a lifetime balanced data aggregation scheme for asynchronous and duty cycle sensor networks under an application-specific requirement of end-to-end data delivery delay bound. In contrast to existing aggregation schemes that focus on reducing the energy consumption and extending the operational lifetime of each individual node, LBA has a unique design goal to balance the nodal lifetime and thus prolong the network lifetime more effectively. To achieve this goal in a distributed manner, LBA adaptively adjusts the aggregation holding time between neighboring nodes to balance their nodal lifetime; as such balancing take place in all neighborhoods, nodes in the entire network can gradually adjust their nodal lifetime towards the globally balanced status. Experimental studies on a sensor network testbed shows that LBA can achieve the design goal, yield longer network lifetime than other non-adaptive and nodal lifetime-unaware data aggregation schemes, and approach the theoretical upperbound performance, especially when nodes have highly different nodal lifetime.
Sparse composite quantization (2015)

The quantization techniques have shown competitive performance in approximate nearest neighbor search. The state-of-the-art algorithm, composite quantization, takes advantage of the compositionabity, i.e., the vector approximation accuracy, as opposed to product quantization and Cartesian k-means. However, we have observed that the runtime cost of computing the distance table in composite quantization, which is used as a lookup table for fast distance computation, becomes nonnegligible in real applications, e.g., reordering the candidates retrieved from the inverted index when handling very large scale databases. To address this problem, we develop a novel approach, called sparse composite quantization, which constructs sparse dictionaries. The benefit is that the distance evaluation between the query and the dictionary element (a sparse vector) is accelerated using the efficient sparse vector operation, and thus the cost of distance table computation is reduced a lot. Experiment results on large scale ANN retrieval tasks (1M SIFTs and 1B SIFTs) and applications to object retrieval show that the proposed approach yields competitive performance: superior search accuracy to product quantization and Cartesian k-means with almost the same computing cost, and much faster ANN search than composite quantization with the same level of accuracy.
Multidisciplinary research thrusts from co-word analysis (2002)

Summary form only given. It is noted that the main documented criticism of co-word analysis has been that co-occurrences were evaluated on index, or key, words of published articles rather than directly on the text, thereby generating sources of bias and error. This has limited the credibility and scope of textual material available to co-word analysis. The author presents a technique that obviates the need for indexed words, uses all words which appear in any type of text, and weights their importance by frequency of occurrence. All single, double, and triple words in a body of text are extracted and analyzed. For each high-frequency content word or word combination W/sub i/, the frequency of co-occurrence of the other high-frequency content words in a limited region around W/sub i/ is computed. The co-occurrence frequency is normalized, and clusters of highly co-occurring words are obtained by a mapping procedure. The body of text used described research opportunities in many fields; the high-frequency terms were the pervasive research thrust areas; and the clusters represented pervasive multidisciplinary research thrust areas. For selected pervasive thrust areas, related mid-frequency words (supporting research areas) which had high normalized co-occurrences were obtained.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Isolation of a gene encoding an integral membrane protein from the vicinity of a balanced translocation breakpoint associated with DiGeorge syndrome (1995)

Deletions within 22q11 have been associated with a wide variety of birth defects embraced by the acronym CATCH22 and including the DiGeorge syndrome, Shprintzen syndrome (velocardiofacial syndrome) and congenital heart disease. It is not known how many genes contribute to this phenotype. Previous studies have shown that a balanced translocation disrupts sequences within the shortest region of deletion overlap for DiGeorge syndrome. A P1 clone was isolated which spans this breakpoint and used to isolate a cDNA encoding a transmembrane protein expressed in a wide variety of tissues. This gene (called IDD) is not disrupted by the translocation, but maps within 10 kb of the breakpoint. Mutation analysis of five affected cases with no previously identified chromosome 22 deletion was negative, but a potential protein polymorphism was discovered. No deletions or rearrangements were detected in these patients following analysis with markers closely flanking the breakpoint, data which emphasize that large (i.e. over 1 Mb) interstitial deletions are the rule in DiGeorge syndrome. The proximity of IDD to the balanced translocation breakpoint and its position within the shortest region of deletion overlap indicate that this gene may have a role, along with other genes, in the CATCH22 haploinsufficiency syndromes.

Xeroderma Pigmentosum Complementation Group E Protein (XPE/DDB2): Purification of Various Complexes of XPE and Analyses of Their Damaged DNA Binding and Putative DNA Repair Properties (2005)

Xeroderma pigmentosum is characterized by increased sensitivity of the affected individuals to sunlight and light-induced skin cancers and, in some cases, to neurological abnormalities. The disease is caused by a mutation in genes XPA through XPG and the XP variant (XPV) gene. The proteins encoded by the XPA, -B, -C, -D, -F, and -G genes are required for nucleotide excision repair, and the XPV gene encodes DNA polymerase eta, which carries out translesion DNA synthesis. In contrast, the mechanism by which the XPE gene product prevents sunlight-induced cancers is not known. The gene (XPE/DDB2) encodes the small subunit of a heterodimeric DNA binding protein with high affinity to UV-damaged DNA (UV-damaged DNA binding protein [UV-DDB]). The DDB2 protein exists in at least four forms in the cell: monomeric DDB2, DDB1-DDB2 heterodimer (UV-DDB), and as a protein associated with both the Cullin 4A (CUL4A) complex and the COP9 signalosome. To better define the role of DDB2 in the cellular response to DNA damage, we purified all four forms of DDB2 and analyzed their DNA binding properties and their effects on mammalian nucleotide excision repair. We find that DDB2 has an intrinsic damaged DNA binding activity and that under our assay conditions neither DDB2 nor complexes that contain DDB2 (UV-DDB, CUL4A, and COP9) participate in nucleotide excision repair carried out by the six-factor human excision nuclease.
<i>In Vivo</i> Performance of Chitosan/Soy-Based Membranes as Wound-Dressing Devices for Acute Skin Wounds (2012)

Wound management represents a major clinical challenge on what concerns healing enhancement and pain control. The selection of an appropriate dressing plays an important role in both recovery and esthetic appearance of the regenerated tissue. Despite the wide range of available dressings, the progress in the wound care market relies on the increasing interest in using natural-based biomedical products. Herein, a rat wound-dressing model of partial-thickness skin wounds was used to study newly developed chitosan/soy (cht/soy)-based membranes as wound-dressing materials. Healing and repair of nondressed, cht/soy membrane-dressed, and Epigard(®)-dressed wounds were followed macroscopically and histologically for 1 and 2 weeks. cht/soy membranes performed better than the controls, promoting a faster wound repair. Re-epithelialization, observed 1 week after wounding, was followed by cornification of the outermost epidermal layer at the second week of dressing, indicating repair of the wounded tissue. The use of this rodent model, although in impaired healing conditions, may enclose some drawbacks regarding the inevitable wound contraction. Moreover, being the main purpose the evaluation of cht/soy-based membranes' performance in the absence of growth factors, the choice of a clinically relevant positive control was limited to a polymeric mesh, without any growth factor influencing skin healing/repair, Epigard. These new cht/soy membranes possess the desired features regarding healing/repair stimulation, ease of handling, and final esthetic appearance-thus, valuable properties for wound dressings.
Equilibration of peritoneal dialysis solutions during long-dwell exchanges. (1979)

There is an increasing interest in CAPD for the treatment of chronic uremia. This technique uses long-dwell peritoneal exchanges lasting 4 hr or more. We have determined equilibration curves for multiple solutes during long exchanges with commercially available 1.5% and 4.25% dextrose dialysis solutions. For small solutes, rates of change of D/P ratios fall off dramatically after 3 hr of dwell time. For larger solutes, D/P ratios change more linearly. Some concentration gradients for net removal by diffusion persist well beyond 4 hr for all but the most highly diffusible solutes. Previously reported net sieving of sodium and chloride during hypertonic exchanges is still evident after many hours.
Exchange Anisotropy of Fe<sub>65</sub>(Ni<sub>1-<i>x</i></sub>Mn<sub><i>x</i></sub>)<sub>35</sub> Alloys (1967)

Ternary alloys of Fe 65 (Ni 1- x Mn x ) 35 have an f.c.c. structure over a whole range of composition and show a transition from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic at around the composition of x =0.3. In this transition region it is quite interesting to study their magnetic properties because of the possible coexistence of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic regions. This paper mainly deals with the exchange anisotropy of these alloys at low temperatures down to 1.4°K obtained by measurements of rotational hysteresis loss and unidirectional anisotropy. The results show an evidence for the coexistence of ferro- and antiferromagnetic regions at low temperatures. A temperature T K , where the rotational loss disappears due to the small anisotropy constant of antiferromagnetic regions, is considered to indicate a lower limit of the Néel temperature, T N of the regions. Values of T K for x ≤0.4 connect smoothly onto values of T N for x ≥0.4.
Transcription factor LSF: interactions with protein partners leading to epigenetic regulation and microtubule modifications (2017)

Transcription factor LSF is an oncogene in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). HCC is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and the second highest cause of cancer-related death globally. LSF is overexpressed in human HCC cell lines, compared to normal hepatocytes, and expression levels show significant correlation with the stage and grades of the disease. Current treatments for HCC are insufficient, especially given the frequency of late stage diagnoses. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the molecular mechanism of HCC disease to aid in targeted and effective treatments. \n\tMost investigations of the regulation of LSF activity have focused on its post-translational modifications in response to cellular proliferation and signal transduction. Chromatin modifications and epigenetic mechanisms of LSF-mediated gene regulation had not been investigated. Given that alterations of epigenetic writers or readers have been demonstrated in a large fraction of HCC patient samples, I examined the connection between LSF and epigenetic regulators. In particular, LSF is shown to interact with DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and Ubiquitin like with PHD and Ring Finger Domains (UHRF1), with consequences for global DNA methylation and transcription patterns. \n\tAdditionally, I identified unexpected, pairwise associations between LSF, histone methyltransferase SET8, and tubulin, both in vitro and in vivo. The interactions were identified by proteomics analyses, co-localization, co-immunoprecipitation, and direct protein-protein interaction studies in vitro. Strikingly, both LSF and SET8 associate with microtubules, leading to the discovery that SET8 methylates α-tubulin at several novel, specific lysines. This suggests parallels between regulation of chromatin by the histone code and regulation of microtubule function by the tubulin code. Surprisingly, LSF enhances tubulin methylation by SET8 in vitro and FQI1, a specific LSF small molecule inhibitor, reduces tubulin methylation. Furthermore, LSF promotes, and FQI1 inhibits, tubulin polymerization in vitro. Taken together, these findings suggest that SET8 is a microtubule-associated methyltransferase that LSF recruits to microtubules to enhance tubulin modification. The results indicate that both LSF and SET8 have cellular implications beyond their roles in gene transcription and histone methylation. Finally, this discovery of the dual functions for LSF and SET8 set up the possibility for connections between epigenetic and cytoskeleton modifications in cancer.
Modulatable orthogonal sequences and their application to SSMA systems (1988)

A set of N-1 orthogonal sequences of period N/sup 2/ is proposed, where N is a natural number. Each orthogonal sequence proposed can be modulated by N complex numbers of absolute value 1, so the modulated sequence is also orthogonal. When N is an odd prime number, the absolute value of the cross-correlation function between any two of the N-1 orthogonal sequences is constant and satisfies the mathematical lower bound. This property of the cross-correlation function is not changed when each of the two orthogonal sequences is modulated by N complex numbers of absolute value 1. Two spread-spectrum multiple-access (SSMA) systems using these sequences are proposed. One system is an asynchronous SSMA system, using the proposed sequences unmodulated. The cochannel interference peak between any two channels in this system realizes the mathematical lower bound for an asynchronous SSMA system using a set of orthogonal sequences. The other system is a synchronous SSMA system without cochannel interference which uses the modulated form of the proposed sequences.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Lattice Distortion in In3SbTe2 Phase Change Material with Substitutional Bi (2015)

Sb atoms in In3SbTe2 (IST) are partially substituted by 3.2-5.5 at.% of Bi atoms. As a result, the NaCl crystal structure of IST is slightly distorted. The distorted inter-planar angles observed with fast Fourier transformation of the lattice images are within the maximum range of interplanar angles calculated by density functional theory. When the Bi content is increased, the crystallization temperature becomes relatively lower than that of IST, the activation energy decreases from 5.29 to 2.61 eV, and the specific heat and melting point are obviously reduced. Consequently, phase change random access memory (PRAM) fabricated with Bi-doped IST (Bi-IST) can operate with lower power consumption than pure IST PRAM. The set and reset speeds of PRAM cells fabricated with Bi-IST are both 100 ns with 5.5 at.% Bi, which are obviously faster than the switching speeds of PRAM cells fabricated with IST and Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST). These experimental results reveal that the switching speed is closely related with the thermal properties of the distorted lattice structure.

Cube-space data mining (2008)

In many data-mining projects, analysts face a huge number of choices in applying data-mining techniques. These choices include different ways to build data-mining models on differently selected, differently segmented, differently aggregated and differently transformed datasets. Analysts' efforts to explore this huge space of mining choices are a big bottleneck in practice. Cube-space data mining is an emerging data-mining paradigm that addresses how to allow analysts to explore this huge space of choices in a principled manner that automates routine steps and enables them to consider large parts of the space with minimal effort. The basic idea is to let the analyst use various kinds of dimensions to structure the space of choices, and then let the mining system build data-mining models repeatedly and systematically over regions of varying granularities in the analyst-specified space (which we call cube space). Even building a single data-mining model on a large dataset is computationally expensive. Repeated construction of a large number of models, an intrinsic characteristic of cube-space data mining, poses great computational challenges. 
This dissertation demonstrates that cube-space data mining is useful for exploring the huge space of choices in mining, and shows that it can be done in a computationally feasible way. Specifically, we define and characterize this new data-mining paradigm and demonstrate its utility by three novel applications of the paradigm, namely prediction cubes, bellwether analysis and privacy skylines. To meet the computational challenges, for each of these applications, we provide efficient and scalable algorithms by exploiting the structure of the space. Through our techniques and experiments, we show that efficient cube-space data mining on large datasets (which may not fit in memory) is achievable.

Dimerization of Tissue Factor Supports Solution-Phase Autoactivation of Factor VII without Influencing Proteolytic Activation of Factor X (2000)

Tissue factor (TF) is a transmembrane receptor that initiates the thrombogenic cascade by assembly with the serine protease factor VII or VIIa (VII/VIIa) resulting in formation of the bimolecular active complex TF.VIIa. Chemical cross-linking studies identified that a minor population of TF forms dimers on the surface of cells, possibly influencing TF.VIIa proteolytic function as a result of dimerization. We here investigate the effects of dimerization of the extracellular domain of TF on the proteolytic function of the TF. VIIa complex. The leucine zipper dimerization domain of the yeast transcriptional factor GCN4 (LZ) was genetically fused at the C-terminus of the extracellular domain of TF separated by a short linker (TF(L)LZ). TF(L)LZ homodimerized with a K(d) similar to that of the LZ peptide. Tryptophan fluorescence indicated that the two TF moieties were in close proximity and parallel orientation in TF(L)LZ. TF(L)LZ dimers bound two molecules of VIIa, and VIIa binding did not influence the TF dimer equilibrium. Dimerization influenced neither amidolytic nor the factor X activation activities of the TF. VIIa complexes. Notably, dimer TF(L)LZ efficiently promoted the autoactivation of VII to VIIa in solution in contrast to monomeric TF(L)LZ or TF(1)(-)(218). Thus, TF dimerization on cells may serve to "prime" the initiation of the coagulation pathway by generating active TF.VIIa complexes for the subsequent activation of downstream macromolecular substrates.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for antibodies against teichoic acid in patients with staphylococcal infections (1983)

A highly purified teichoic acid preparation was used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure the specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM response in staphylococcal disease. Antibody determination in a normal population, showing a difference of up to 20-fold in the mean IgG titers between the youngest children and adults, was used to establish age-correlated upper normal values. IgM antibodies were found to be of little diagnostic value since their response was often low or absent. Increased IgG titers were found in 24 of 27 (89%) patients with endocarditis, in 11 of 14 (79%) with complicated septicemia, and in 10 of 20 (50%) with uncomplicated septicemia with serum samples drawn between days 7 and 30 of disease. With paired samples, the numbers of patients with increased IgG titers were 17 of 17, 3 of 4, and 6 of 7, respectively, in the same patient groups. Increased IgG titers were less often demonstrated in patients with chronic osteomyelitis (7 of 22). The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for teichoic acid antibodies was found to be a sensitive and specific method for diagnosing staphylococcal endocarditis and septicemia. For optimal results, both the substantial age-correlated variation in normal titers and the importance of adequately spaced samples should be considered.
Path loss characteristics of 60 GHz transmissions (1985)

Propagation measurements of 60 GHz transmissions between a hand-held roving transmitter and a receiver located at street-lamp elevations were made in urban and rural locations. The propagation distance exponent was approximately 2.2, and fades 20 dB below the mean envelope level occurred 1% of the time.
Stratified waveguide grating coupler for normal fiber incidence (2005)

We propose a new stratified waveguide grating coupler (SWGC) to couple light from a fiber at normal incidence into a planar waveguide. SWGCs are designed to operate in the strong coupling regime without intermediate optics between the fiber and the waveguide. Two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulation in conjunction with microgenetic algorithm optimization shows that approximately 72% coupling efficiency is possible for fiber (core size of 8.3 microm and delta=0.36%) to slab waveguide (1.2-microm core and delta=3.1%) coupling. We show that the phase-matching and Bragg conditions are simultaneously satisfied through the fundamental leaky mode.
