Military Service in the Lordship of Ireland 1290–1360: Institutions and Society on the Anglo-Gaelic Frontier (1992)

The English king's Lordship of Ireland in the Middle Ages was a land of constant, small-scale war. This was a characteristic inherited from the Irish past, where tribute-warfare was endemic, and perpetuated because of the incompleteness of the conquest and the limited effectiveness of the Dublin government. The pastoral emphasis of Irish rural society ensured that cattle-raiding was a chief feature of military life. It was a way of pursuing local disputes; on a grander scale, it was a means by which Gaelic Irish and Anglo-Irish magnates asserted their power by exacting submission and hostages and imposing services. The ‘official’ wars, with which this book is concerned, were mostly of a similar type: the normal aim of the king's ministers who conducted them was not so much to occupy or (as was more to the point in the later Middle Ages) reoccupy land, as to exercise lordship.
Chip-to-rectangular waveguide transition realized in embedded Wafer Level Ball Grid Array (eWLB) package (2014)

In this paper, we present for the first time the realization of a 77 GHz chip-to-rectangular waveguide transition realized in an embedded Wafer Level Ball Grid Array (eWLB) package. The chip is contacted with a coplanar waveguide (CPW). For the transformation of the transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode of the CPW line to the transverse electric (TE) mode of the rectangular waveguide an insert is used in the eWLB package. This insert is based on radio-frequency (RF) printed circuit board (PCB) technology. Micro vias formed in the insert are used to realize the sidewalls of the rectangular waveguide structure in the fan-out area of the eWLB package. The redistribution layers (RDLs) on the top and bottom surface of the package form the top and bottom wall, respectively. We present two possible variants of transforming the TEM mode to the TE mode. The first variant uses a via realized in the rectangular waveguide structure. The second variant uses only the RDLs of the eWLB package for mode conversion. We present simulation and measurement results of both variants. We obtain an insertion loss of 1.5 dB and return loss better than 10 dB. The presented results show that this approach is an attractive candidate for future low loss and highly integrated RF systems.
What data should I protect? (2019)

Major breaches of sensitive company data, as for Facebook's 50 million user accounts in 2018 or Equifax's 143 million user accounts in 2017, are showing the limitations of reactive data security technologies. Companies and government organizations are turning to proactive data security technologies that secure sensitive data at source. However, data security analysts still face two fundamental challenges in data protection decisions: 1) the information overload from the growing number of data repositories and protection techniques to consider; 2) the optimization of protection plans given the current goals and available resources in the organization. In this work, we propose an intelligent user interface for security analysts that recommends what data to protect, visualizes simulated protection impact, and helps build protection plans. In a domain with limited access to expert users and practices, we elicited user requirements from security analysts in industry and modeled data risks based on architectural and conceptual attributes. Our preliminary evaluation suggests that the design improves the understanding and trust of the recommended protections and helps convert risk information in protection plans.
Contact-less, Multi-Spectral Imaging of Dermal Perfusion (2008)

Photoplethysmography (PPG) has come to be accepted as a common, non-invasive method for measuring the level of oxygen saturation in arterial blood. This paper describes a variation of the accepted PPG technique, to provide a contact-less and non-invasive method of characterizing dermal perfusion. It employs a 3-CCD, multi-spectral camera, to image the selected area. The acquired images are analysed by making use of the fact that the absorption co-efficient of oxygenated blood is more in the infra-red (IR) region of the spectrum, when compared to the red region. This fact is utilised to characterize the extent of dermal perfusion in the selected area of the skin.

Circulating Excretory-Secretory Antigen Levels and Specific Antibody Responses in Mice Infected with Toxocara canis (1987)

Circulatory excretory-secretory antigen levels and IgM and IgG responses to larval antigens were monitored in the serum of 20 BALB/c mice that had been given approximately 500 infective eggs of Toxocara canis by stomach tube. Other groups of mice received different doses of infective eggs, ranging from 5 to 1,250 eggs. Excretory-secretory antigens were collected from culture fluid in which mechanically hatched larvae of T. canis were maintained. An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to monitor specific antibody responses. Circulating antigen levels were monitored using a direct ELISA which incorporated an IgG fraction of a rabbit antiserum to the excretory-secretory antigens as a capture antibody and a biotin-conjugated form of the same rabbit IgG as the second antibody. The antigen-specific IgM response was evident the first week of infection and peaked 3 to 6 weeks post-infection. The antigen-specific IgG response first appeared the second week of infection and peaked at 6 to 8 weeks post-infection. Both isotype levels stayed near their peak values for the remainder of the study. In the untreated sera, circulating antigen was initially evident and highest the first week of infection; the antigen concentrations dropped by the third month of infection to low, but significant, levels that persisted for the duration of the study. The administration of greater than 25 eggs produced antigenemias. There appeared to be a positive linear trend between the number of eggs given and the amount of antigen in the circulation.
A novel technique towards eliminating the global clock in VLSI circuits (2004)

As the feature size offered by VLSI technology shrinks, circuit performance as well as circuit complexity increases. This puts considerable pressure on the synchronous design methodology, mainly due to the difficulty of routing a low skew high frequency clock signal across a large die. On the other hand, the synchronous design methodology offers the benefits of a mature design flow and a comprehensive set of design tools. In this paper, we present an approach towards the elimination of the global clock signal in a synchronous design. We present a novel partitioning strategy and the design of a distributed asynchronous controller for this purpose. The transformed circuit can have performance comparable or possibly superior to the original synchronous circuit (provided clock could be distributed in the first place). The technique is demonstrated by a pilot design in a .18 micron TSMC process, and is a good candidate for a clock-less design methodology built around the principle of desynchronization.
Telomerase inhibitors in anticancer therapy: gossypol as a potential telomerase inhibitor. (2002)

Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase which helps to stabilize the length of telomeres by adding TTAGGG repeats onto the telomeres that enables unlimited division of the cell. Absence of telomerase activity causes replication senescence and cell death. Activity of telomerase was detected in embryonal, gonadal and cancer cells, but was not detected in adult somatic tissues with the exception of tissues containing stem cells. Telomerase inhibitors are being considered as potential anticancer drugs with the hope that the lack of telomerase expression in normal somatic cells would result in a higher specific therapy with fewer side effects than conventional chemotherapy. Because of high activity of telomerase in gonadal cells, we hypothesized that one of the drugs which selectively interfere with spermatogenesis may act like a telomerase inhibitor. Gossypol is a male contraceptive derived from cotton seeds. It causes suppression of spermatogenesis by an unknown mechanism. It has a non-endocrine inhibiting effect on spermatogenesis, gradual onset of action, and irreversible suppression of spermatogenesis with increasing length of use. It also has an antiproliferative effect on cell lines derived from tumors, mild antineoplastic action in vivo with few side effects. It has mild inhibiting influence on the replication of HIV via possible inhibition of reverse transcriptase HIV. This shows its possible telomerase inhibiting activity. It appears that gossypol is a potential new drug for testicular cancer therapy, because of its spermatotoxic and cytotoxic activity on cell lines derivided from testicular tumors. We posit that the use of gossypol in combination with other anticancer chemotherapeutics can lead to a more effective therapy of human tumors. (Ref. 47.).

Left handed β helix models for mammalian prion fibrils (2008)

We propose models for in vitro grown mammalian prion protein fibrils based upon left handed beta helices formed both from the N-terminal and C-terminal regions of the proteinase resistant infectious prion core. The C-terminal threading onto a beta-helical structure is almost uniquely determined by fixing the cysteine disulfide bond on a helix corner. In comparison to known left handed helical peptides, the resulting model structures have similar stability attributes including relatively low root mean square deviations in all atom molecular dynamics, substantial side-chain-to-side-chain hydrogen bonding, good volume packing fraction, and low hydrophilic/hydrophobic frustration. For the N-terminus, we propose a new threading of slightly more than two turns, which improves upon the above characteristics relative to existing three turn beta-helical models. The N-terminal and C-terminal beta helices can be assembled into eight candidate models for the fibril repeat units, held together by large hinge (order 30 residues) domain swapping, with three amenable to fibril promoting domain swapping via a small (five residue) hinge on the N-terminal side. Small concentrations of the metastable C-terminal beta helix in vivo might play a significant role in templating the infectious conformation and in enhancing conversion kinetics for inherited forms of the disease and explain resistance (for canines) involving hypothesized coupling to the methionine 129 sulfur known to play a role in human disease.
Multitask Learning in Computational Biology (2011)

Computational Biology provides a wide range of applications for Multitask Learning (MTL) methods. As the generation of labels often is very costly in the biomedical domain, combining data from diﬀerent related problems or tasks is a promising strategy to reduce label cost. In this paper, we present two problems from sequence biology, where MTL was successfully applied. For this, we use regularization-based MTL methods, with a special focus on the case of a hierarchical relationship between tasks. Furthermore, we propose strategies to reﬁne the measure of task relatedness, which is of central importance in MTL and ﬁnally give some practical guidelines, when MTL strategies are likely to pay oﬀ.

Direct digital synthesis: a tool for periodic wave generation (part 1) (2004)

Oscillators are the subjects of intensive research. From Colpitts oscillators to phase locked loops, methods have been proposed to improve stability, frequency resolution, and spectral purity. Among the all-digital approaches, direct digital frequency synthesis are now available as integrated circuits and they output waveforms up to hundreds of megahertz. While DDS is slowly gaining acceptance in new system designs, methods used to improve the quality of the generated waveform are seldom used, even nowadays. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the basics of DDS, along with simple formulas to compute bounds of the signal characteristics. Moreover, several methods, some patented, are presented to overcome some of the limits of the basic DDS with a focus on improving output signal quality.
Effects of PY 108–068, a New Calcium Antagonist, on General Hemodynamics and Regional Blood Flow in Anesthetized Cats (1982)

The hemodynamic effects of PY 108-068 (PY), a new benzoxadiazolyle dihydropyridine derivative with calcium antagonistic effects on vascular smooth muscle, were investigated in chloralose--urethane-anesthetized open-chest cats. Regional blood flow was measured with tracer microspheres. PY lowered blood pressure and increased cardiac output similarly to nifedipine (N). Unlike the latter drug, PY decreased heart rate without showing evidence of cardiodepression. Right atrial pressure increased slightly less than with N. All these effects were dose dependent in the dose range from 1 to 43 micrograms/kg i.v.. PY and N increased myocardial blood flow to the same extent initially, and redistributed it in favor of the outer layer of the left ventricle. The activity of sublingually administered PY was comparable to that of a similar intravenous dose. An approximately three times larger intraduodenal dose was needed for similar effects. Our results provide preliminary in vivo evidence that it is possible to separate the negative chronotropic from the negative inotropic effects of calcium antagonists.
Robust speaker clustering in eigenspace (2005)

We propose a speaker clustering scheme working in 'eigenspace'. Speaker models are transformed to a low-dimensional subspace using 'eigenvoices'. For the speaker clustering procedure, simple distance measures, e.g. Euclidean distance, can be applied. Moreover, clustering can be accomplished with base models (for eigenvoice projection) like Gaussian mixture models as well as conventional HMMs. In case of HMMs, re-projection to the original space readily yields acoustic models. Clustering in subspace produces a well-balanced cluster and is easy to control. In the field of speaker adaptation, several principal techniques can be distinguished. The most prominent among them are Bayesian adaptation (e.g. MAP), transformation based approaches (MLLR - maximum likelihood linear regression), as well as so-called eigenspace techniques. Especially the latter have become increasingly popular, as they make use of a-priori information about the distribution of speaker models. The basic approach is commonly called the eigenvoice (EV) approach. Besides these techniques, speaker clustering is a further attractive adaptation scheme, especially since it can be - and has been - easily combined with the above methods.
An HTLV-I Vaccine: Why, How, for Whom? (1993)

Endemic infection with the human T cell leukemia/lymphoma viruses I and II (HTLV-I/II) is now recognized to be worldwide, and is becoming epidemic among intravenous drug abusers (IVDAs) in the United States and Europe. The number of people around the world infected with HTLV-I can be estimated as between 10 and 20 million (Table 1). HTLV-I causes a rapidly progressing adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), and an incurable progressive neuromyelopathy named tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (TSP/HAM), as well as a number of less well-studied syndromes. There is evidence that coinfection with HTLV-I or -II accelerates progression to AIDS. The cumulative lifetime risk of developing ATLL or TSP/HAM is around 5%, which, in terms of the induction of serious diseases, places HTLV-I in the same category of viruses for which efficient vaccines are made and used. Furthermore, there are factors favoring the feasibility of a vaccine against HTLV-I, in that the virus displays relatively low antigenic variability, natural immunity occurs in humans, and experimental vaccination with the envelope (Env) antigen is successful in animal models. A vaccine against HTLV-I would be of significant public health value in the fields of oncology, neurology, and AIDS, and it would serve as a pathfinder for a vaccine against HIV.
