Filtering algorithms and implementation for very fast publish/subscribe systems (2001)

Publish/Subscribe is the paradigm in which users express long-term interests (“subscriptions”) and some agent “publishes” events (e.g., offers). The job of Publish/Subscribe software is to send events to the owners of subscriptions satisfied by those events. For example, a user subscription may consist of an interest in an airplane of a certain type, not to exceed a certain price. A published event may consist of an offer of an airplane with certain properties including price. Each subscription consists of a conjunction of (attribute, comparison operator, value) predicates. A subscription closely resembles a trigger in that it is a long-lived conditional query associated with an action (usually, informing the subscriber). However, it is less general than a trigger so novel data structures and implementations may enable the creation of more scalable, high performance publish/subscribe systems. This paper describes an attempt at the construction of such algorithms and its implementation. Using a combination of data structures, application-specific caching policies, and application-specific query processing our system can handle 600 events per second for a typical workload containing 6 million subscriptions.
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein increases the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species in endothelial cells (1998)

ox-LDL increased the intracellular formation of ROS through the ligation to a specific endothelial receptor. Preincubation of HUVECs with lacidipine, a calcium antagonist with antioxidant properties, significantly reduced the intracellular ROS formation induced by ox-LDL. We propose that the effect of lacidipine on adhesion molecule expression and on NF-kB activation can be explained by its effect on intracellular ROS formation.
Role of Histamine H<sub>3</sub> and H<sub>4</sub> Receptors in Mechanical Hyperalgesia following Peripheral Nerve Injury (2007)

We propose that the increase in mechanical hyperalgesia produced by thioperamide and JNJ 7777120 and the decrease in mechanical hyperalgesia produced by VUF 8430 may represent a direct effect of these agents on mechanospecific primary afferents, or an indirect effect of these agents via injury-induced inflammation.
Kinetics Analysis of Ankle, Knee and Hip Joints Using a Wearable Sensor System (2008)

The kinetics analysis of ankle, knee and hip joints during gait is fundamental for rehabilitation and clinical diagnosis but data are commonly obtained by means of the laboratory-restricted equipment such as a force plate and optical camera system, which usually require complicated computing programs and professional operation. In this study, we have developed a wearable sensor system to facilitate joint kinetics analysis to assess body movement in daily activities. The sensor system is composed of a shoe-based force sensor which measures ground reaction force (GRF) and center of pressure (CoP), and a leg-attached motion sensor consisting of three uniaxial gyroscopes units which detect lower limbs movement. This paper presents a kinetics analysis of ankle, knee and hip joints in the sagittal plane by using the sensor system on human normal level walking during whole gait phases. In order to estimate the joint kinetics, an inverse kinetics method based on the sensing signals and gait characteristics was developed. In the validation experiments with 10 subjects, joint kinetics was calculated using data synchronously measured by the sensor system and a force plate & optical camera system. The root mean square (RMS) differences of the ankle, knee and hip joints moments between the two systems in a gait cycle were (2±0.34) (mean±standard deviation) Nm, (7.2±1.34) Nm and (11.2±1.3) Nm, being (5.4±0.7)%, (6±0.32)% and (6.1±0.25)% of the maximal magnitude of ankle, knee and hip joints moments respectively. The RMS differences of the ankle, knee and hip joints powers between the two systems in a gait cycle were (4.2±0.4) W, (5.7±2.1) W and (5.7±0.3) W, being (8.4±0.4)%, (4.1±0.5)% and (6.4±0.4)% of the maximal magnitude of joint powers respectively. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the joint kinetics analysis using the wearable sensor system for a daily application in gait analysis.
Multimission Aircraft Propulsion Simulator Initial Aero/Mechanical Test Results and Evaluation. (1973)

Initial aero/mechanical tests of the Multi-Mission Aircraft Propulsion Simulator were conducted in the AEDC R2C4 Test Cell of the engine test facility. A total of 38.1 hours of successful operation was completed. The simulator is designed with a compressor, turbine and mixer which result in the capability of simultaneously simulating scaled inlet airflow, nozzle pressure ratio and nozzle flow function which significantly improves scale model simulation. The simulator utilizes mass addition through a mixer from the spent turbine drive air to simulate heat addition. The physical size of the simulator represents a scale of from 6-10% of various aircraft engines thus, establishing the scale for installed performance aircraft models to be tested in wind tunnels. Aerodynamic and mechanical data obtained in this test included compressor and turbine mapping for compressor inlet pressures of 14.2, 12, and 6 psia. Also, one 180 deg. extent 1/rev distortion screen was tested where IDC ranged from 0.02 to .09. An analytical model has been developed to represent the simulator and a modification guide is included which gives procedures for modifying the mixer/nozzle to simulate other aircraft propulsion systems. Examples of typical aircraft engines which were simulated are included. Comprehensive mechanical data analysis and recommended follow-on development is included. (Author)
Wideband Artificial Magnetic Conductors Loaded With Non-Foster Negative Inductors (2011)

We examine how the bandwidth of artificial magnetic conductors (AMCs) can be greatly increased when loaded with negative-inductance non-Foster circuits. This increase in bandwidth is achieved by enhancing the structural inductance of the AMC by combining it in parallel with a negative inductance, thus achieving a bandwidth that exceeds what is possible with passive approaches. A prototype VHF-UHF active AMC was fabricated and measured, which achieved a bandwidth greater than 80% at a resonant frequency of 263 MHz.

Tannin elimination and improvement of the digestibility of protein sorghum grains. (1997)

Three hybrids of sorghum grains [Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench] containing 3.8, 3.0 and 0.2% of tannins were treated. Abrasive dehulling and storage of moist grains were tested separately and in combination to reduce the tannin content and to improve the nutritional quality of grains. The moisture content of the grains was increased from 12 to 30% by humidifying them with water, acetic acid, sodium bicarbonate or sodium hypochlorite solutions. Abrasive dehulling of the grains to a yield between 75 and 80%, humidifying the grains with acetic acid (1% v/v) and storing them during 7 days at 20 degrees C proved to be the most effective procedure. In this way tannin can be totally reduced and the in vitro digestibility of protein can be increased to 87.5%.
Improved Near-Field Recording System for First-Surface Media with an NA=1.9 Solid Immersion Lens (2006)

Near-field optical recording using a solid immersion lens is quickly becoming an attractive technology for use in commercial optical data drives. Calculations and experiments show that Near-field optical recording has the potential to enable data storage capacities of more than 150 GB per side on a compact disc (CD)-sized disc, which may prove sufficient to continue the optical recording roadmap beyond Blu-ray Disc. Compared to alternative approaches that aim to achieve high storage densities, near-field recording requires a minimum change in drive architecture and media technology. In this paper we present our progress on the development of a near-field optical recording system with an NA=1.9 Solid Immersion Lens in a conventional actuator, using a single blue laser diode.
The Effect of Electrospun Gelatin Fibers Alignment on Schwann Cell and Axon Behavior and Organization in the Perspective of Artificial Nerve Design (2015)

Electrospun fibrous substrates mimicking extracellular matrices can be prepared by electrospinning, yielding aligned fibrous matrices as internal fillers to manufacture artificial nerves. Gelatin aligned nano-fibers were prepared by electrospinning after tuning the collector rotation speed. The effect of alignment on cell adhesion and proliferation was tested in vitro using primary cultures, the Schwann cell line, RT4-D6P2T, and the sensory neuron-like cell line, 50B11. Cell adhesion and proliferation were assessed by quantifying at several time-points. Aligned nano-fibers reduced adhesion and proliferation rate compared with random fibers. Schwann cell morphology and organization were investigated by immunostaining of the cytoskeleton. Cells were elongated with their longitudinal body parallel to the aligned fibers. B5011 neuron-like cells were aligned and had parallel axon growth when cultured on the aligned gelatin fibers. The data show that the alignment of electrospun gelatin fibers can modulate Schwann cells and axon organization in vitro, suggesting that this substrate shows promise as an internal filler for the design of artificial nerves for peripheral nerve reconstruction.
Direct Sequencing of Polymerase Chain Reaction Products (2003)

The advantages of direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products over conventional sequencing of cloned, single-stranded DNA are manifold. Speed is perhaps the greatest asset. Time-consuming creation and screening of libraries, fragment purification, subcloning, bacterial transfection, and plasmid preparation steps are all eliminated. Cost is an advantage for similar reasons. The ability to sequence thousands or even millions of different templates at once, thereby obtaining pooled averages of mutated or polymorphic sequences, is another benefit. Moreover, short DNA sequences not obtainable by conventional cloning, such as DNA from paraffin-embedded tissues, can be sequenced using PCR sequencing.
‘Perforated patch recording’ allows long‐term monitoring of metabolite‐induced electrical activity and voltage‐dependent Ca<sup>2+</sup> currents in pancreatic islet B cells (1989)

We describe the application of 'perforated patch recording' using the pore-forming antibiotic nystatin, to monitor the electrical activity and underlying ionic currents of rat and human pancreatic islet B cells. We demonstrate that glucose-induced electrical activity is seen even in single B cells during current-clamp recordings lasting hours 'L-type' Ca2+-channel currents can also be monitored over this period of time. This technique may prove useful in examining hormone and neurotransmitter modulation of electrical activity in B cells, while minimizing the effects of cytoplasmic 'wash-out'.
Determination of Coefficient of Thermal Expansion Effects on Louisiana’s PCC Pavement Design (2011)

With the development of the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) as a new pavement design tool, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is now considered a more important design parameter in estimating pavement performance including cracking, faulting, and international roughness index (IRI). This study was conducted to measure typical CTE values of Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements having various aggregates used in Louisiana and to investigate the relationship between CTE and other critical variables such as aggregate types, age of concrete, dimension of specimen, amount of course aggregate in mixture, relative humidity, and concrete mechanical properties. AASHTO TP 60-00 was used for measuring concrete CTE and a recently new standard test method, AASHTO T 336-09, was adopted to replace the TP 60-00. A calibration factor was developed to convert the CTE values measured by AASHTO TP 60-00 to that of the new standard testing method. From the analysis of measured data, it was found that aggregate types, coarse aggregate proportion, and relative humidity have a significant influence on CTE. This finding was confirmed with a statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA). CTE tests and mechanical property tests were also performed at different ages to provide input data for Level 1 design of MEPDG. Based on the results of the MEPDG analysis, current maximum joint spacing [20 ft. (6.1 m)] in jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) can be adjusted to 15 or 18 ft. (4.6 or 5.5 m) when Kentucky limestone is used as a coarse aggregate. 17.
An Imprecise Mouse Gesture for the Fast Activation of Controls. (1999)

A common task in graphical user interfaces is selecting or activating a single control from a small group of plausible candidates. This task ordinarily requires the same precise movements as any other; if we could reduce the precision needed, however, we might also reduce the target acquisition and activation time. This paper describes the flick gesture, designed for this purpose. Our experimental results demonstrate that the gesture performs well with regard to speed, accuracy, and variability, compared to conventional gestures in a laboratory setting. We also describe a testbed we have implemented in Microsoft Windows that lets us explore and evaluate the use of such gestures in settings with more ecological validity.
Plasma Chemistry in a High Pressure Gas Filled RF Test Cell for use in a Muon Cooling Channel (2014)

Filling an RF cavity with a high pressure gas prevents breakdown when the cavity is placed in a multi-Tesla external magnetic field. A beam of particles traversing the cavity, be it muons or protons, ionizes the gas, creating an electron-ion plasma which absorbs energy from the cavity. In order to understand the nature of this plasma loading, a variety of gas species, gas pressures, dopants, and cavity electric fields were investigated. Plasma induced energy loss, electron-ion recombination rates, ion-ion recombination rates, and electron attachment times were measured. The results for hydrogen, deuterium, helium, and nitrogen, doped with dry air will be presented.

Edge-preserving tomographic reconstruction with nonlocal regularization (2002)

Tomographic image reconstruction using statistical methods can provide more accurate system modeling, statistical models, and physical constraints than the conventional filtered backprojection (FBP) method. Because of the ill posedness of the reconstruction problem, a roughness penalty is often imposed on the solution to control noise. To avoid smoothing of edges, which are important image attributes, various edge-preserving regularization methods have been proposed. Most of these schemes rely on information from local neighborhoods to determine the presence of edges. In this paper, we propose a cost function that incorporates nonlocal boundary information into the regularization method. We use an alternating minimization algorithm with deterministic annealing to minimize the proposed cost function, jointly estimating region boundaries and object pixel values. We apply variational techniques implemented using level-sets methods to update the boundary estimates; then, using the most recent boundary estimate, we minimize a space-variant quadratic cost function to update the image estimate. For the positron emission tomography transmission reconstruction application, we compare the bias-variance tradeoff of this method with that of a "conventional" penalized-likelihood algorithm with local Huber roughness penalty.

A Distributed Approach using Entropy to Detect DDoS Attacks in ISP Domain (2007)

DDoS attacks are best detected near the victim's site as maximum attack traffic converges at this point. In most of the current solutions, monitoring and analysis of traffic for DDoS detection have been carried at a single link which connects victim to ISP. However the mammoth volume generated by DDoS attacks pose the biggest challenge in terms of memory and computational overheads. These overheads make DDoS solution itself vulnerable against DDoS attacks. We propose to distribute these overheads amongst all POPs of the ISP using an ISP level traffic feature distribution based approach. An ISP level topology and well known attack tools are used for simulations in ns-2. The comparison with volume based approach clearly indicates the supremacy of the proposed methodology

Graphene as an anti-permeation and protective layer for indium-free transparent electrodes (2012)

We show that graphene can be used as a protective layer for transparent electrodes made of materials which would otherwise deteriorate when exposed to the environment. In particular, we investigate aluminum-doped zinc oxides and ultrathin copper films capped with a one-atom graphene layer in damp heat (95% relative humidity and 95 °C) and high temperature (up to 180 °C) conditions. The results clearly indicate that a graphene layer can strongly reduce degradation of the electrodes' electrical, optical properties and surface morphology, thus preserving the functionality of the transparent electrodes. The proposed technique is particularly suitable for flexible optoelectronic devices thanks to the mechanical strength of graphene when subjected to bending.
Improving branch predictors by correlating on data values (1999)

Branch predictors typically use combinations of branch PC bits and branch histories to make predictions. Recent improvements in branch predictors have come from reducing the effect of interference, i.e. multiple branches mapping to the same table entries. In contrast, the branch difference predictor (BDP) uses data values as additional information to improve the accuracy of conditional branch predictors. The BDP maintains a history of differences between branch source register operands, and feeds these into the prediction process. An important component of the BDP is a rare event predictor (REP) which reduces learning time and table interference. An REP is a cache-like structure designed to store patterns whose predictions differ from the norm. Initially, ideal interference-free predictors are evaluated to determine how data values improve correlation. Next, execution driven simulations of complete designs realize this potential. The BDP reduces the misprediction rate of five SPEC95 integer benchmarks by up to 33% compared to gshare and by up to 15% compared to Bi-Mode predictors.

Estimating the Extra Charges and Prolongation of Hospitalization Due to Nosocomial Infections: A Comparison of Methods (1980)

Estimates of the economic consequences of nosocomial infections were derived by studying the same patient population with two different methods: physician's assessment and comparisons of patients with nosocomial infection and those without, matched on five characteristics. Estimates of extra days and extra routine charges obtained by the comparison were about 2 1/2 times greater than those obtained by the physician's assessment (P less than 0.0001). Even when the match of patients was exact and measures were taken to avoid confounding, patients with nosocomial infection had more discharge diagnoses recorded (P = 0.02) and experienced more episodes of pulmonary embolism, renal failure, and death in the hospital than did their counterparts. These differences suggest that, despite careful matching, the members of the pairs were not comparable in their intrinsic predisposition to prolonged hospitalization. Unless patients can be matched on this prediposition, the estimates from a comparison study will be exaggerated.
