Interactive three-dimensional image analysis and visualization using graphics hardware (2008)

Image analysis is a process of extracting useful information from input images using various image processing techniques, such as denoising, enhancement, feature detection, and segmentation. State-of-the-art techniques employ sophisticated and time-consuming nonlinear processes to capture subtle and detailed information from images that may be overlooked by classical linear methods. In addition, with the advent of the recent advance in imaging technology, high resolution images of several hundreds gigabytes become common these days. Such recent trends in image processing require computationally expensive processes and make the interactive image analysis challenging. 
In this dissertation I propose novel three-dimensional nonlinear image processing algorithms and their efficient implementations on modern graphics processors for interactive image analysis, specifically targeting the geoscience and medical applications. Over the past decade, the graphics processing unit (CPU) has evolved into a powerful computing platform for high performance computation. Among many applications, image processing can be a good candidate to achieve a significant speed-up using the GPU because it is inherently a data parallel process. The main motivation of the proposed dissertation research is to accelerate time-consuming image analysis applications using inexpensive commodity CPUs. 
This dissertation consists of three parts. First, an interactive 3D seismic fault detection system is proposed. I have developed a structure-oriented directional anisotropic diffusion filter and a variance-based fault detection algorithm, and introduced their efficient implementations on the GPU. Second, I propose a fast parallel algorithm for weighted distance computation using a Hamilton-Jacobi framework. The proposed algorithm is based on a label-correcting scheme for scalability on single instruction multiple data (SIMD) parallel architectures. Finally, I propose a probabilistic framework for user-assisted 3D elongated structure segmentation, and show the acceleration techniques using the CPU implementation of nonrigid image registration and probability computation. A number of synthetic and real-world 3D datasets, such as seismic, CT, and DT-MRI volumes, are used to assess the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methods.

The NZDIS project: an agent-based distributed information systems architecture (2005)

Describes the initial design work of the New Zealand Distributed Information Systems (NZDIS) research project, which seeks to develop an architecture for building distributed information systems from existing information resources, based on software agent and distributed object technologies. An agent-based architecture is used, with messages exchanged via the FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents) agent communication language (ACL). Novel features of this system include the use of standards from the object-oriented programming community, such as the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) as a communications infrastructure, the Unified Modeling Language (UML), which is used as an ontology representation language, the Object Data Management Group's Object Query Language (OQL), which is used for queries, and the Object Management Group's Meta Object Facility (MOF), which is used as the basis for an ontology repository agent. 'Stringified' object references may be returned as the content of ACL messages, allowing query results to be made available via a variety of CORBA interfaces.
Deep Anomaly Detection Using Geometric Transformations (2018)

We consider the problem of anomaly detection in images, and present a new detection technique. Given a sample of images, all known to belong to a "normal" class (e.g., dogs), we show how to train a deep neural model that can detect out-of-distribution images (i.e., non-dog objects). The main idea behind our scheme is to train a multi-class model to discriminate between dozens of geometric transformations applied on all the given images. The auxiliary expertise learned by the model generates feature detectors that effectively identify, at test time, anomalous images based on the softmax activation statistics of the model when applied on transformed images. We present extensive experiments using the proposed detector, which indicate that our algorithm improves state-of-the-art methods by a wide margin.
Mindfulness-based interventions and cognitive function among breast cancer survivors: a systematic review (2018)

Mindfulness-based interventions have shown some evidence for improving cognition among breast cancer survivors, but further research using validated and comprehensive cognitive assessments is needed. More research is also needed related to the timing, duration and content of mindfulness interventions.
Glossary of terms used in photochemistry, 3rd edition (IUPAC Recommendations 2006) (2007)

Abstract Abstract: The second edition of the Glossary of Terms Used in Photochemistry [ Pure Appl. Chem. 68 , 2223-2286 (1996); <http://www.iupac.org/publications/pac/1996/pdf/6812x2223.pdf>] has been both corrected and updated. Terms have been added related to molecular anisotropy, the use of polarized radiation, nonlinear optical phenomena, and the emerging field of computation of excited species. Some changes have been introduced in this "Glossary" regarding the terms related to radiation energy to make this collection fully compatible with internationally agreed-upon terms. Many links are included to various Web pages listing quantities relevant to the work of photochemists and scientists using photochemical tools.
Modeling transcription factor binding sites with Gibbs Sampling and Minimum Description Length encoding. (1997)

Transcription factors, proteins required for the regulation of gene expression, recognize and bind short stretches of DNA on the order of 4 to 10 bases in length. In general, each factor recognizes a family of "similar" sequences rather than a single unique sequence. Ultimately, the transcriptional state of a gene is determined by the cooperative interaction of several bound factors. We have developed a method using Gibbs Sampling and the Minimum Description Length principle for automatically and reliably creating weight matrix models of binding sites from a database (TRANSFAC) of known binding site sequences. Determining the relationship between sequence and binding affinity for a particular factor is an important first step in predicting whether a given uncharacterized sequence is part of a promoter site or other control region. Here we describe the foundation for the methods we will use to develop weight matrix models for transcription factor binding sites.
Fault list compaction through static timing analysis for efficient fault injection experiments (2003)

With the adoption of deep sub-micron technologies, faults modeled as single event transients (SETS) on combinational gates are becoming an issue, but efficient and accurate techniques for assessing their impact on VLSI designs are still missing. This paper presents a new approach for generating the list of faults to be addressed during fault injection experiments tackling SET effects. By resorting to static timing analysis, the approach is able to prune the set of possible faults and to identify a superset of the ones that may produce effects on the circuit outputs. Experimental results are reported on standard benchmarks assessing the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Studies on the Local Anesthetics. II (1958)

Local anesthetics of alkoxynaphthylamine derivatives, having a dialkylaminoacyl group, had been synthesized from 2-naphthol. In the present series of work, 1-alkoxy-4-dialkylaminoacylamidonaphthalene hydrochlorides were synthesized starting with 2-naphthol.2-Naphthol was nitrated through the alkoxynaphthalenes (alkyl=methyl, ethyl, butyl, isopentyl), reduced to 1-alkoxy-4-aminonaphthalene, and reacted with chloroacetyl chloride, 2-bromopropionyl bromide, or 2-bromobutyryl bromide, in the presence of potassium acetate, in glacial acetic acid, to form 1-alkoxy-4-haloacylamidonaphthalenes. These were reacted with dimethyl- or diethylamine in benzene, by heating in a sealed tube to 100°, and 1-alkoxy-4-dialkylaminoacylamidonaphthalenes were obtained. Passage of dry hydrogen chloride gas through their ether solution afforded the objective compounds, which numbered 24 in all.
Ground state lasing at 1.34μm from InAs∕GaAs quantum dots grown by antimony-mediated metal organic chemical vapor deposition (2007)

The authors report the fabrication of GaAs-based quantum dot (QD) lasers grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition above 1.30μm. They fabricated a laser diode with five stacked InAs∕Sb:GaAs(100) QD layers, grown by antimony-surfactant-mediated growth. Ground state lasing was obtained at 1.34μm, with internal quantum efficiency of 62%, internal loss of 4.5cm−1 and ground state modal gain above 12cm−1. Lasing above 1.30μm could be achieved because of the beneficial effects of antimony on both the coherent InAs∕Sb:GaAs QD density and the suppression of the emission blueshift, usually observed for InAs∕GaAs QDs during postgrowth annealing at 600°C.

Interactions of laminin with the amyloid ß peptide: Implications for Alzheimer's disease (2001)

Extensive neuronal cell loss is observed in Alzheimer's disease. Laminin immunoreactivity colocalizes with senile plaques, the characteristic extracellular histopathological lesions of Alzheimer brain, which consist of the amyloid beta (A(beta)) peptide polymerized into amyloid fibrils. These lesions have neurotoxic effects and have been proposed to be a main cause of neurodegeneration. In order to understand the pathological significance of the interaction between laminin and amyloid, we investigated the effect of laminin on amyloid structure and toxicity. We found that laminin interacts with the A(beta)1-40 peptide, blocking fibril formation and even inducing depolymerization of preformed fibrils. Protofilaments known to be intermediate species of A(beta) fibril formation were also detected as intermediate species of laminin-induced A(beta) fibril depolymerization. Moreover, laminin-amyloid interactions inhibited the toxic effects on rat primary hippocampal neurons. As a whole, our results indicate a putative anti-amyloidogenic role of laminin which may be of biological and therapeutic interest for controlling amyloidosis, such as those observed in cerebral angiopathy and Alzheimer's disease.
A service-oriented application creation process in ubiquitous environments (2017)

Purpose Many features constitute an adaptive system such as user model, interface specification, business functionalities and service implementation. Context awareness is an important facet of service oriented application creation dealing with the gathering, use and representation of context information. Generally, user interfaces and services communities work separately on the adaptation process and do not converge. The aim of this work is to manage the system’s functionalities and the user interface that delivers data to the relevant consumer early since the design phase until the code generation. Design/methodology/approach The authors discuss how a unified method based on a model-driven architecture for adaptive user interface and pervasive service creation eases the work of designers and developers, limits incompatibility issues and supports dynamic generation of systems adapted to different contexts of use. Findings The proposed approach is able to support a semi-automatic ubiquitous application generation with service, behavior, presentation and content adaptation. Originality/value In this paper, the authors tackle context-awareness at two levels: system functionalities and user interface generation. The authors also tackle adaptation at the specification and implementation levels.
Involvement of Heat Shock Protein (Hsp)90β but Not Hsp90α in Antiapoptotic Effect of CpG-B Oligodeoxynucleotide (2007)

Unmethylated CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs) activate immune responses in a TLR9-dependent manner. In this study, we found that stimulation of mouse macrophages and dendritic cells with B-type CpG ODN (CpG-B ODN) increased the cellular level of heat shock protein (Hsp) 90beta but not Hsp90alpha and prevented apoptosis induced by serum starvation or staurosporine treatment. The CpG-B ODN-induced Hsp90beta expression depended on TLR9, MyD88, and PI3K. Inhibition of Hsp90beta level by expressing small-interfering RNA suppressed not only Hsp90beta expression but also PI3K-dependent phosphorylation of Akt and CpG-B ODN-mediated antiapoptosis. Additional studies demonstrated that as described by other group in mast cells, Hsp90beta but not Hsp90alpha was associated with Bcl-2. Inhibition of Hsp90beta suppressed the CpG-B ODN-induced association of Hsp90beta with Bcl-2 and impaired the inhibitory effect of CpG-B ODN in the release of cytochrome c and activation of caspase-3. This study thus reveals the involvement of Hsp90beta but not Hsp90alpha in CpG-B ODN-mediated antiapoptotic response and that Hsp90beta is distinct from Hsp90alpha in regulation of the cellular function of immune cells.
Hydrogen plasma durability of SnO/sub 2/:F films for use in a-Si solar cells (1988)

The hydrogen plasma durability of textured SnO/sub 2/:F films was investigated at 220 degrees C. It was found that during the initial stage of exposure, TCO films with a carrier concentration less than 4*10/sup 20/ cm/sup -3/ show a decrease in resistivity. A Hall-effect measurement revealed that the decrease in resistivity was due mostly to a mobility increase. This increase could be explained by the reduction of potential barrier height due to the proton passivation of grain boundaries. The results suggest that SnO/sub 2/:F films with low carrier concentration pretreated by hydrogen plasma can possess the conflicting properties of low absorption and low resistivity.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Multislot estimation of fast-varying space-time communication channels (2003)

In mobile communications, coherent detection requires the estimate of an increasing number of channel parameters due to the promising performance of systems that deploy multiple antennas. However, the estimate of space-time channels requires a number of training symbols that grows with the number of unknowns. To overcome this problem, we propose a subspace-based estimation method that exploits the different varying rates in the structure of the space-time channel for moving terminals. Since the channel has some fast-varying (faded amplitudes of the paths) and slowly varying (delays and directions of arrival) features, the multislot (MS) estimate is composed of two terms: the slowly varying spatial and temporal bases estimated from L consecutive slots and the fast-varying amplitudes estimated on a slot-by-slot basis. Performance analysis and simulations confirm the expected benefits of the multislot approach and demonstrate that for large L, the mean square error (MSE) on the channel estimate depends only on the number of fast-varying parameters.
Plasma Urokinase Receptor Levels in Patients With Colorectal Cancer: Relationship to Prognosis (1999)

The preoperative plasma suPAR level independently predicted survival of patients with colorectal cancer. Further studies of plasma suPAR in patients with cancer are needed to evaluate the utility of plasma suPAR measurements and cut points in identifying high-risk patients among those with early stage disease.
Matrix metalloproteinase‐7 expression and biologic aggressiveness of cholangiocellular carcinoma (2002)

Although the results of the current study are based on a small number of patients, they suggest that MMP-7 expression is a significant prognostic factor in patients with cholangiocellular carcinoma and that cholangiocellular carcinoma demonstrating strongly positive expression of MMP-7 on immunostaining may have a higher malignant potential compared with that showing negative or positive expression of MMP-7.
The F9-EC cell line as a model for the analysis of differentiation (1991)

The teratocarcinoma stem cell line F9 has been widely used as a model for the analysis of molecular mechanisms associated with differentiation. This cell line has been considered to be nullipotent and able to differentiate into endodermal-like derivatives upon treatment with retinoic acid. Nevertheless, under definite culture conditions, F9 cells are able to differentiate into derivatives of all three germ layers. The F9 cells express characteristics of early mouse embryonal cells and possess all repression factors known to be present in cells of the early mouse embryogenesis. Induction of differentiation can be achieved not only by adding chemical agents to the culture medium but also by transfection of several oncogenic sequences. In somatic cell genetic experiments, immortalized, differentiated F9-like cells have been shown to express dominantly genes responsible for the appearance of the differentiated phenotype.

Human cytomegalovirus infection up‐regulates interleukin‐8 gene expression and stimulates neutrophil transendothelial migration (1997)

Virus-induced alterations in the cellular expression of chemokines may be important in directing the migration of specific leucocyte subsets to sites of infection, thereby playing a pivotal role in viral pathogenesis. We show here that cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection of human fibroblasts resulted in significantly increased expression of the C-X-C or alpha-chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8), at both the mRNA and protein levels. Increased IL-8 production was seen following infection with the high passage laboratory CMV strains AD169, Towne, or Davis, as well as the low passage clinical CMV isolates Toledo or C1F. The increase in IL-8 production had functional consequences, as demonstrated by the ability of supernatants from CMV-infected fibroblasts to significantly enhance neutrophil transendothelial migration. The latter was independent of alterations in adhesion molecule expression on the endothelial cells, and was abrogated by neutralizing antibodies specific for IL-8. Direct infection of endothelium with the endothelial cell-tropic CMV strain C1FE, also resulted in enhanced neutrophil transendothelial migration. Neutrophils play an important role in the dissemination of CMV throughout the body, and thus CMV-induced neutrophil recruitment would be expected to enhance CMV dissemination. Increased production of chemokines in response to CMV infection could also disrupt the fine balance between a beneficial and a destructive immune response, thereby potentially contributing to pathology.
Adaptivity for structured meshfree particle methods in 2D and 3D (2005)

The implementation of h-adaptivity for meshfree particle methods within a structured framework is described. In this framework, the initial particle arrangement is structured along with a background mesh, and outside boundaries and interior interfaces are described by implicit functions. The advantage of meshfree approximations in this framework lies in the ease of implementing h-adaptivity and the simplicity of the data structures. Particles can easily be added and removed without complications in the data structure, although there are some issues in the quadrature. An a posteriori error estimation is used for the adaptive refinement. An adaptive refinement strategy is applied to several linear elastic problems with high stress and strain gradients and singularities. Several non-linear examples are also given.

Vision-based methods for driver monitoring (2004)

This project involves the use of a dashboard-mounted camera to monitor the direction a driver is looking. This is accomplished by using the framework for processing video (FPV), developed at the University of Minnesota by Osama Masoud. The monitoring software works by first finding the lips on the driver's face using color analysis. Then, the skin color of the driver can be sampled and a face region is generated. The largest holes in this region are the lips and eyes. Once the eyes are found, the software finds the darkest pixels in the eyes and marks these as the pupils. The software uses the relative positions of the eyes and pupils to make statements about the gaze direction. Also discussed is monitoring various other driver activities such as adjusting as car stereo.
