Behavior-based adaptive call predictor (2011)

Predicting future calls can be the next advanced feature of the next-generation telecommunication networks as the service providers are looking to offer new services to their customers. Call prediction can be useful to many applications such as planning daily schedules, avoiding unwanted communications (e.g. voice spam), and resource planning in call centers. Predicting calls is a very challenging task. We believe that this is an emerging area of research in ambient intelligence where the electronic devices are sensitive and responsive to people's needs and behavior. In particular, we believe that the results of this research will lead to higher productivity and quality of life. In this article, we present a Call Predictor (CP) that offers two new advanced features for the next-generation phones namely “Incoming Call Forecast” and “Intelligent Address Book.” For the Incoming Call Forecast, the CP makes the next-24-hour incoming call prediction based on recent caller's behavior and reciprocity. For the Intelligent Address Book, the CP generates a list of most likely contacts/numbers to be dialed at any given time based on the user's behavior and reciprocity. The CP consists of two major components: Probability Estimator (PE) and Trend Detector (TD). The PE computes the probability of receiving/initiating a call based on the caller/user's calling behavior and reciprocity. We show that the recent trend of the caller/user's calling pattern has higher correlation to the future pattern than the pattern derived from the entire historical data. The TD detects the recent trend of the caller/user's calling pattern and computes the adequacy of historical data in terms of reversed time (time that runs towards the past) based on a trace distance. The recent behavior detection mechanism allows CP to adapt its computation in response to the new calling behaviors. Therefore, CP is adaptive to the recent behavior. For our analysis, we use the real-life call logs of 94 mobile phone users over nine months, which were collected by the Reality Mining Project group at MIT. The performance of the CP is validated for two months based on seven months of training data. The experimental results show that the CP performs reasonably well as an incoming call predictor (Incoming Call Forecast) with false positive rate of 8%, false negative rate of 1%, and error rate of 9%, and as an outgoing call predictor (Intelligent Address Book) with the accuracy of 70% when the list has five entries. The functionality of the CP can be useful in assisting its user in carrying out everyday life activities such as scheduling daily plans by using the Incoming Call Forecast, and saving time from searching for the phone number in a typically lengthy contact book by using the Intelligent Address Book. Furthermore, we describe other useful applications of CP besides its own aforementioned features including Call Firewall and Call Reminder.
HIGH CONDUCTIVITY <i>p</i>-TYPE CdS (1968)

High conductivity p-type CdS was formed by ion implanting Bi into n-type single crystals. Hall measurements and lifetime studies were performed on the implanted layers. p-n junctions were formed in high conductivity n-type material and light emission observed in the forward direction. By making two independent contacts to the p-type layer and measuring their I-V characteristics, it was determined that they were not rectifying.
Tensile Properties of Very‐High‐Strength Concrete for Penetration‐Resistant Structures (1999)

This paper describes the potential suitability of a new family of concrete mixtures for use in protective structures. Two very‐high‐strength concrete mixtures are discussed and experimental results of penetration studies on one of these are presented. The results are compared to penetration‐study results of other, more conventional concrete mixtures, and the advantages of the very‐high‐strength mixtures are described.
Frequency response of intracavity laser coupling modulation (1973)

A resonant energy coupling between the atomic system and the oscillating optical mode leads to severe output distortion in intracavity laser coupling modulation. This anomalous behavior, which places a lower limit on the modulation frequency, is investigated in a case of a CO <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> laser and compared with theoretical predictions.

Identification of new leishmanicidal peptide lead structures by automated real-time monitoring of changes in intracellular ATP (2003)

Leishmanicidal drugs interacting stoichiometrically with parasite plasma membrane lipids, thus promoting permeability, have raised significant expectations for Leishmania chemotherapy due to their nil or very low induction of resistance. Inherent in this process is a decrease in intracellular ATP, either wasted by ionic pumps to restore membrane potential or directly leaked through larger membrane lesions caused by the drug. We have adapted a luminescence method for fast automated real-time monitoring of this process, using Leishmania donovani promastigotes transfected with a cytoplasmic luciferase form, previously tested for anti-mitochondrial drugs. The system was first assayed against a set of well-known membrane-active drugs [amphotericin B, nystatin, cecropin A-melittin peptide CA(1-8)M(1-18)], plus two ionophoric polyethers (narasin and salinomycin) not previously tested on Leishmania, then used to screen seven new cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptides. All membrane-active compounds showed a good correlation between inhibition of luminescence and leishmanicidal activity. Induction of membrane permeability was demonstrated by dissipation of membrane potential, SYTOX trade mark Green influx and membrane damage assessed by electron microscopy, except for the polyethers, where ATP decrease was due to inhibition of its mitochondrial synthesis. Five of the test peptides showed an ED50 around 1 microM on promastigotes. These peptides, with equal or better activity than 26-residue-long CA(1-8)M(1-18), are the shortest leishmanicidal peptides described so far, and validate our luminescence assay as a fast and cheap screening tool for membrane-active compounds.

I/sup 2/L with a self-aligned double-diffused injector (1977)

Reports the structure topology, and characterization of integrated injection logic (I/SUP 2/L/MTL) with a self-aligned double-diffused injector. It is shown that using the new structure, a lateral p-n-p transistor with effective submicron base width can be realized even by using standard photolithographic techniques. One of the features of the approach is the high injection efficiency. Another feature is the high current gain capability for n-p-n transistors. A power delay product of 0.06 pJ, a propagation delay time of 10 ns at the power dissipation of 80 /spl mu/W, and a packing density of 420 gates/mm/SUP 2/ have been obtained by single layer interconnections of 6 /spl mu/m details. A J-K flip-flop with clear and preset terminals has been fabricated to demonstrate the superiority of S/SUP 2/L to conventional I/SUP 2/L.
Evaluation of the efficacy of Granisetron over Droperidol in the prevention of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting following open Cholecystectomy (2011)

BACKGROUND: Post operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) continue to be frequent occurrences, even when conventional antiemetics are prophylactically used. OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of Granisetron over Droperidol in the prevention of PONV in patients undergoing elective open cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. MATERIAL & METHODS: In this double blind randomized study, 100 adult patients with physical status ASA I and II, (age, 20-60 years), were randomly allocated into two groups, X or Y, to receive either injection Granisetron hydrochloride (3 mg i/v) or Droperidol (2.5 mg i/v), 5 min prior to induction of general anesthesia. The incidence of nausea and vomiting was recorded every six hourly for a period of 24 hour after the surgery. RESULTS: 6 (12%) patients in the granisetron group and 20 (40%) patients in the Droperidol group reported an emetic episode, (p = 0.002); the incidence of PONV in the total 24 hr period after the surgery, 54% in the granisetron group and 76% in Droperidol group (p = 0.022) CONCLUSIONS: It was found that granisetron is superior to Droperidol in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Bottom‐up control of parasites (2017)

Abstract Parasitism is a fundamental ecological interaction. Yet we understand relatively little about the ecological role of parasites compared to the role of free‐living organisms. Bottom‐up theory predicts that resource enhancement will increase the abundance and biomass of free‐living organisms. Similarly, parasite abundance and biomass should increase in an ecosystem with resource enhancement. We tested this hypothesis in a landscape‐level experiment in which salt marshes (60,000 m 2 each) received elevated nutrient concentrations via flooding tidal waters for 11 yr to mimic eutrophication. Nutrient enrichment elevated the densities of the talitrid amphipod, Orchestia grillus , and the density and biomass of its trematode parasite, Levinseniella byrdi . Strikingly, L. byrdi prevalence increased over time, up to 13 times higher in nutrient‐enriched marshes (30%) relative to the mean prevalence in reference marshes (2.4%). The biomass density of infected amphipods was, on average, 11 times higher in nutrient‐enriched marshes (1.1 kg/ha) than in reference marshes (0.1 kg/ha), when pooling across all years. Orchestia grillus biomass comprises 67% of the arthropod community biomass; thus, nutrient enrichment elicits a substantial surge in parasitized biomass in the arthropod community. If our results are typical, they suggest that eutrophication can increase parasite abundance and biomass with chronic resource enhancement. Therefore, minimizing aquatic nutrient pollution may prevent outbreaks of parasites with aquatic hosts.

Planning and Spatial Working Memory: a Positron Emission Tomography Study in Humans (1996)

Previous work with both neurosurgical and neurodegenerative patient groups has suggested that high level planning is mediated by neural circuitry which includes both the prefrontal cortex and the striatum. In this study, the functional anatomy of cognitive planning was investigated further, using positron emission tomography (PET). Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured in 12 normal volunteers while performing easy and difficult versions of (i) a modified Tower of London planning task; (ii) a mnemonic variant of this task that required short-term retention and reproduction of problem solutions; and (iii) a control condition that involved identical visual stimuli and motor responses. Significant increases in rCBF were observed in the left hemisphere, in both the mid-dorsolateral frontal cortex and in the head of the caudate nucleus, when the difficult planning task was compared with the control condition. Moreover, subtraction of a simple planning condition from the more difficult one revealed focal increases in rCBF in the caudate nucleus and the thalamus only. During both mnemonic variants of the planning task, changes were also observed in the mid-dorsolateral frontal cortex and in more ventral frontopolar regions, bilaterally. When compared directly, the planning and memory conditions differed in terms of these ventral activation foci, but not in the pattern of activation observed in mid-dorsolateral frontal cortex. These findings further implicate frontostriatal circuitry in high-level planning and provide evidence for functionally distinct contributions from ventral and dorsolateral frontal regions to spatial working memory.
Regulatory T-Cells in the Graft and the Risk of Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (2007)

Analysis of first-order anti-aliasing integration sampler (2008)

Performance of the first-order anti-aliasing integration sampler used in software-defined radio (SDR) receivers is analyzed versus all practical nonidealities. The nonidealities that are considered in this paper are transconductor finite output resistance, switch resistance, nonzero rise and fall times of the sampling clock, charge injection, clock jitter, and noise. It is proved that the filter is quite robust to all of these nonidealities except for transconductor finite output resistance. Furthermore, linearity and noise performances are all limited to design of a low-noise and highly linear transconductor.
Endocytic Sorting of Lipid Analogues Differing Solely in the Chemistry of Their Hydrophobic Tails (1999)

To understand the mechanisms for endocytic sorting of lipids, we investigated the trafficking of three lipid-mimetic dialkylindocarbocyanine (DiI) derivatives, DiIC16(3) (1,1'-dihexadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate), DiIC12(3) (1,1'- didodecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate), and FAST DiI (1,1'-dilinoleyl-3,3,3', 3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate), in CHO cells by quantitative fluorescence microscopy. All three DiIs have the same head group, but differ in their alkyl tail length or unsaturation; these differences are expected to affect their distribution in membrane domains of varying fluidity or curvature. All three DiIs initially enter sorting endosomes containing endocytosed transferrin. DiIC16(3), with two long 16-carbon saturated tails is then delivered to late endosomes, whereas FAST DiI, with two cis double bonds in each tail, and DiIC12(3), with saturated but shorter (12-carbon) tails, are mainly found in the endocytic recycling compartment. We also find that DiOC16(3) (3,3'- dihexadecyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate) and FAST DiO (3, 3'-dilinoleyloxacarbocyanine perchlorate) behave similarly to their DiI counterparts. Furthermore, whereas a phosphatidylcholine analogue with a BODIPY (4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) fluorophore attached at the end of a 5-carbon acyl chain is delivered efficiently to the endocytic recycling compartment, a significant fraction of another derivative with BODIPY attached to a 12-carbon acyl chain entered late endosomes. Our results thus suggest that endocytic organelles can sort membrane components efficiently based on their preference for association with domains of varying characteristics.

The Traveling Salesman Problem with Distances One and Two (1993)

We present a polynomial-time approximation algorithm with worst-case ratio 7/6 for the special case of the traveling salesman problem in which all distances are either one or two. We also show that this special case of the traveling salesman problem is MAX SNP-hard, and therefore it is unlikely that it has a polynomial-time approximation scheme.
Carlactone is converted to carlactonoic acid by MAX1 in<i>Arabidopsis</i>and its methyl ester can directly interact with AtD14 in vitro (2014)

Strigolactones (SLs) stimulate seed germination of root parasitic plants and induce hyphal branching of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the rhizosphere. In addition, they have been classified as a new group of plant hormones essential for shoot branching inhibition. It has been demonstrated thus far that SLs are derived from carotenoid via a biosynthetic precursor carlactone (CL), which is produced by sequential reactions of DWARF27 (D27) enzyme and two carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases CCD7 and CCD8. We previously found an extreme accumulation of CL in the more axillary growth1 (max1) mutant of Arabidopsis, which exhibits increased lateral inflorescences due to SL deficiency, indicating that CL is a probable substrate for MAX1 (CYP711A1), a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase. To elucidate the enzymatic function of MAX1 in SL biosynthesis, we incubated CL with a recombinant MAX1 protein expressed in yeast microsomes. MAX1 catalyzed consecutive oxidations at C-19 of CL to convert the C-19 methyl group into carboxylic acid, 9-desmethyl-9-carboxy-CL [designated as carlactonoic acid (CLA)]. We also identified endogenous CLA and its methyl ester [methyl carlactonoate (MeCLA)] in Arabidopsis plants using LC-MS/MS. Although an exogenous application of either CLA or MeCLA suppressed the growth of lateral inflorescences of the max1 mutant, MeCLA, but not CLA, interacted with Arabidopsis thaliana DWARF14 (AtD14) protein, a putative SL receptor, as shown by differential scanning fluorimetry and hydrolysis activity tests. These results indicate that not only known SLs but also MeCLA are biologically active in inhibiting shoot branching in Arabidopsis.
Cytokine and protease levels in healing and non‐healing chronic venous leg ulcers (1995)

Leg ulcers present a common and recurring problem in older people creating discomfort and distress for the patient and a great cost to the health care services. Cultured keratinocyte grafts have been used by many investigators to stimulate healing of chronic venous ulcers. It has been proposed that they may do this by producing cytokines which modulate the healing process. However, the types and levels of cytokines in the leg ulcer fluid before and during healing are not known. Wound fluid was collected from venous leg ulcers in 18 patients beneath occlusive Tegaderm dressing for 4 to 6 h. The leg ulcers were divided on clinical criteria into 'healing' and 'non-healing'. PDGF-AB, GM-CSF, IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6 and bFGF were measured by ELISA and the levels of IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta and IL-6 were also measured using biological assays. The effect of leg ulcer wound fluid on fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation was measured indirectly by 3H-thymidine incorporation and MTT assay. Total protein, albumin levels, fibronectin degrading activity and collagenase activity, both active and latent were measured. No statistically significant differences in the levels of cytokines or collagenase were identified between healing and non-healing leg ulcers in the sample of leg ulcers studied. However, this study does give valuable information concerning the levels of cytokines and collagenase in chronic leg ulcer wound fluid.
