Energy-based surveillance systems for ATM machines (2010)

This paper presents a video surveillance system which can detect and deal with typical abnormal behaviors on Automatic Teller Machine (ATM), such as fraud and robbery, etc. Based on the case study of violent incident video records, a weighted kinetic energy extraction approach for violence identification is proposed. By using the new approach, the motion field is weighted with angle coefficient, thus reducing the video stream to a one-dimension energy series. Experimental results show that the ATM video surveillance system with energy approach is effective for typical incident classification and that the corresponding alarm signal is reliable.
Ultra-Wideband Coplanar-Fed Monopoles: A Comparative Study (2015)

Abstract. The paper provides an experimental comparison of four types of ultra-wideband coplanar-fed planar mono-pole antennas. Parameters of the open stub completed by an L-shaped monopole and the cross monopole were adopted from the literature. The forked monopole and the coplanar monopole were fabricated and measured. Monopoles were compared from the viewpoint of the impedance bandwidth, gain, directivity patterns and dimensions. Keywords Ultra-wideband monopole antennas, coplanar feeding, planar antennas, numerical modeling. 1.
Portfolio theory of information retrieval (2009)

This paper studies document ranking under uncertainty. It is tackled in a general situation where the relevance predictions of individual documents have uncertainty, and are dependent between each other. Inspired by the Modern Portfolio Theory, an economic theory dealing with investment in financial markets, we argue that ranking under uncertainty is not just about picking individual relevant documents, but about choosing the right combination of relevant documents. This motivates us to quantify a ranked list of documents on the basis of its expected overall relevance (mean) and its variance; the latter serves as a measure of risk, which was rarely studied for document ranking in the past. Through the analysis of the mean and variance, we show that an optimal rank order is the one that balancing the overall relevance (mean) of the ranked list against its risk level (variance). Based on this principle, we then derive an efficient document ranking algorithm. It generalizes the well-known probability ranking principle (PRP) by considering both the uncertainty of relevance predictions and correlations between retrieved documents. Moreover, the benefit of diversification is mathematically quantified; we show that diversifying documents is an effective way to reduce the risk of document ranking. Experimental results in text retrieval confirm performance.
A Comparison of DNA Cleavage by Neocarzinostatin Chromophore and Its Aglycon:  Evaluating the Role of the Carbohydrate Residue (1997)

Through a comparative analysis of the reactivity and DNA cleaving activity of neocarzinostatin (NCS) chromophore (1) and the corresponding aglycon (2), we show that the carbohydrate residue (aminoglycoside) of 1 both accelerates the rate and improves the efficiency of DNA cleavage versus the aglycon (2), but does not appear to be a major determinant of the base specificity of DNA cleavage by 1. This stands in contrast to earlier findings with another enediyne antibiotic, calicheamicin γ1, where the carbohydrate residue was found to be a major determinant of the sequence specificity of DNA cleavage, in addition to playing a functional role in the reductive activation step. Thiol addition experiments with NCS aglycon (2) provide further evidence that the carbohydrate amino group of 1 functions as an internal base in the first step leading to DNA cleavage, thiol activation. Evidence is also presented supporting the proposal that NCS aglycon (2) is bound tightly and reversibly by the neocarzinostatin binding protein (apo-NCS) and that this binding stabilizes the aglycon in solution.
Automatic retargeting of web page content (2009)

We present a novel technique for automatically retargeting content from one web page onto the layout of another. Web pages are decomposed into their perceptual hierarchical representations. We then use a structured-prediction algorithm to learn reasonable mappings between the perceptual trees. Using the mappings, we are able to merge the content of one page with the layout of another.
Cloning, genomic organization, chromosomal assignment and expression of a novel mosaic serine proteinase: epitheliasin (2000)

We report the isolation of a cDNA encoding a novel murine serine proteinase, epitheliasin. The cDNA spans 1753 bp and encodes a mosaic protein with a calculated molecular mass of 53529 Da. Its domains include a cytoplasmic tail, a type II transmembrane domain, a low-density lipoprotein receptor class A domain, a cysteine rich scavenger receptor-like domain and a serine proteinase domain. The proteinase portion domain shows 46-53% identity with mouse neurotrypsin, acrosin, hepsin and enteropeptidase. The gene, located in the telomeric region in the long arm of mouse chromosome 16, consists of 14 exons and 13 introns and spans approximately 18 kb. Epitheliasin is expressed primarily in the apical surfaces of renal tubular and airway epithelial cells.
PVDF-Based Microfabricated Tactile Sensor for Minimally Invasive Surgery (2008)

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> This paper aimed to develop a miniaturized tactile sensor capable of measuring force and force position in minimally invasive surgery. The <emphasis emphasistype="boldital">in situ</emphasis> measurement of tactile information is a step forward toward restoring the loss of the sense of touch that has occurred due to shift from traditional to minimally invasive surgeries. The sensor was designed such that it can sense low forces which could be comparable to those produced by pulsating delicate arteries, yet can withstand high forces comparable to grasping forces. The influence of some hidden anatomical features, such as lumps, voids, and arteries, on the stress distribution at the grasping surface was studied. In this paper, the capability of the sensor to determine and locate any point load was also investigated. The proposed sensor was designed and manufactured to be highly sensitive, using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The microfabrication procedure of the sensor, including corner compensation for toothlike projections and patterning of PVDF film, was discussed. The micromachined sensor was tested, and the experimental results were compared with the results of 3-D finite element modeling. <formula formulatype="inline"><tex Notation="TeX">$\hfill$</tex></formula>[2007-0286] </para>
SGK1: A Rapid Aldosterone-Induced Regulator of Renal Sodium Reabsorption (2005)

Recently, substantial progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms by which aldosterone rapidly stimulates sodium transport in the distal nephron and other tight epithelia. Serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) has been identified as an important mediator of this process. Its physiological relevance has been revealed through heterologous expression in cultured cells and generation of SGK1 knockout mice.
Video retrieval and relevance feedback in the context of a post-integration model (2002)

Video can be viewed as the integration of several heterogeneous media interwoven in a temporally close-coupled fashion. To support the retrieval of video segments under the query-by-example scenario, we purport in this paper a post-integration model that integrates low-level media types to identify visually/auditorily similar video segments. The model also allows flexible relevance feedback on the user end to further improve the speed and accuracy of searching in a video database. As its name implies, the post-integration model first treats models of the underlying media as independent processes and then combines distance scores from each of the underlying media at the later stage. This decoupling allows the usage of efficient algorithms to fast and accurately compare thousands of video clips in a moderate-to-large-sized video database. It also naturally facilitates improved user interaction by fast dynamic weight adjustment on the media distance scores in a multiple query succession. We explicit our models and dynamic weight adjustment schemes in this paper and offer demonstration with a working system on a large video database set.

Graphs with variable edge costs: a model for scheduling a vehicle subject to speed and timing restraints (2002)

Consider a graph with a range of costs associated with each vertex and each edge of the graph. The author studies paths in such graphs where the cost of each edge of the path must be chosen within the range of costs for that edge and the sum of the chosen costs of the edges from the start of the path to any vertex in the path must belong to the range of allowable costs for that vertex. He shows that for a fixed sequence of vertices, a linear time algorithm solves the problem of choosing the edge costs to satisfy the vertex cost constraints along the path. The problem of deciding if such a path exists from a given vertex to another specified vertex (without specifying the intermediate vertices on the path) is NP-complete. The problem of finding a tour of the vertices satisfying the cost constraints is also shown to be NP-complete. The study of these graphs is motivated by problems concerned with the routing of a robot vehicle with upper and lower speed limits and timing constraints for reaching each workcell.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
The role of 5-HT on the cardiovascular and renal systems and the clinical potential of 5-HT modulation (2003)

The main peripheral sources of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) are as a neurotransmitter and local hormone in the gastrointestinal tract, and stored in circulating platelets and pulmonary neuroepithelial bodies. 5-HT has been shown to have many possible physiological and pathophysiological roles on the cardiovascular and renal systems. Thus, 5-HT may contribute to valvular heart disease, coronary artery disease, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary embolism, pre-eclampsia, peripheral vascular disease and diabetic nephropathy. Consequently, modulators of the 5-HT system have diverse clinical potential. For instance, selective 5-HT subtype 3 receptor (5-HT(3)) antagonists may have potential in the treatment of the pain associated with myocardial infarction. MCI-9042 (sarpogrelate) or other 5-HT(2A) antagonists may have clinical potential for the treatment of vasospastic angina, ischaemic heart disease, reperfusion injury and hindlimb ischaemia. Several modulators of 5-HT (5-HT transporter inhibitors, 5-HT(1B) and (2B) antagonists) may have potential alone or in combination in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. In hypertension, agonists at the 5-HT(7) and antagonists at the 5-HT(2B) may reduce blood pressure, and in diabetes, sarpogrelate may protect against nephropathy.
Hypochlorous acid and chloramines increase endothelial permeability: possible involvement of cellular zinc (1994)

The migration of neutrophils through the endothelium at sites of inflammation may be facilitated by oxidant-mediated disruption of cellular junctions. The present study examined the effects of noncytotoxic concentrations of the membrane-penetrating neutrophil oxidants hypochlorous acid (HOCI) and monochloramine (NH2Cl), or the membrane-impermeant taurine chloramine (taurine NCl), on cultured bovine aorta endothelial monolayers. HOCl (25 microM) or NH2Cl (10 microM), but not taurine NCl (100 microM), caused a reversible shortening of the cytoskeletal actin microfilaments, cell retraction, and increased permeability within 2 min. These effects were accompanied by an increase in intracellular zinc concentration as well as the oxidation of intracellular glutathione and protein sulfhydryls. The zinc ionophore pyrithione also increased permeability. HOCl or NH2Cl, but not taurine NCl, also rapidly increased microvascular permeability in isolated perfused rat lungs. The data suggest that HOCl and NH2Cl can increase endothelial permeability by causing very rapid cytoskeletal shortening and cell retraction, possibly as a result of the oxidation of intracellular sulfhydryls and mobilization of zinc.
Programmable digital vehicle control system (1979)

The programmable digital vehicle control system or PDVCS is based upon the Intel 8080A microprocessor and is designed to replace the hardwired discrete components traditionally used in the on-board control of automated rapid transit vehicles. Although designed specifically for the advanced group rapid transit (AGRT) system under development by the Boeing Company, with funding by the Department of Transportation, the PDVCS can easily be adapted for use in any automated transit system. A breadboard PDVCS has been programmed to perform the basic AGRT longitudinal control system functions, including closed-loop emergency braking, and has been subjected to closed-loop laboratory testing. Prototype tachometers and a seventh-order nonlinear analog computer simulation of motor, brake, and vehicle dynamics were used to close the control loop for test purposes; command scenarios were input manually. The test results demonstrate the feasibility of microcomputers in on-board vehicle control and show their capability to meet the performance requirements associated with a short headway (3 s) system.
A VLSI chip for isolated speech recognition system (1996)

A VLSI processor is designed for the small-scale isolated speech recognition applications. It is a dedicated processor which detects endpoint, extracts LPC (linear predictive coefficient) cepstral coefficients from the speech signal, and computes the spectral distances using a dynamic time warping (DTW) technique. The designed chip can recognize 1000 isolated words per second with an average recognition accuracy of 90.3%. It is designed in a 0.8 /spl mu/m CMOS technology, includes 66,760 gates, and runs with a 10 MHz clock.
Establishing a Minimal Erythema Concentration of Methyl Nicotinate for Optimum Evaluation of Anti-Inflammatories (2006)

Topical administration of chemicals such as methyl nicotinate that induce erythema have been employed to measure the effectiveness of formulations containing anti-inflammatory agents. Prior studies have utilized a single concentration of methyl nicotinate, between 36.5 and 100 mM, for all test subjects in evaluations of topical formulations. However, individuals have different thresholds of response to methyl nicotinate; thus, a single concentration may not be appropriate for all individuals and could result in the apparent lack of anti-inflammatory activity of the formulation being evaluated. In the current study, we evaluated the use of a minimal erythema concentration (MEC) of methyl nicotinate, defined as the lowest concentration that produces a complete and even erythema at the test site, compared with a 36.5-mM concentration of methyl nicotinate. Hydroalcoholic gels containing the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen were compared with placebo. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy was employed to measure differences in cutaneous inflammatory response between the control (placebo)-treated group and the ibuprofen-treated group. When chemical erythema was induced using an MEC of methyl nicotinate, greater reductions in erythema were seen in ibuprofen-treated sites compared with sites treated with a 36.5-mM concentration of methyl nicotinate. In conclusion, for an accurate assessment method of erythema induced by methyl nicotinate, consideration should be given to determining the extent of response of an erythema-producing agent on an individual basis. An MEC of methyl nicotinate should be determined and employed for each individual to obtain more consistent and reliable efficacy results of anti-inflammatory activity.
Input Similarity from the Neural Network Perspective (2021)

We first exhibit a multimodal image registration task, for which a neural network trained on a dataset with noisy labels reaches almost perfect accuracy, far beyond noise variance. This surprising auto-denoising phenomenon can be explained as a noise averaging effect over the labels of similar input examples. This effect theoretically grows with the number of similar examples; the question is then to define and estimate the similarity of examples. We express a proper definition of similarity, from the neural network perspective, i.e. we quantify how undissociable two inputs $A$ and $B$ are, taking a machine learning viewpoint: how much a parameter variation designed to change the output for $A$ would impact the output for $B$ as well? We study the mathematical properties of this similarity measure, and show how to use it on a trained network to estimate sample density, in low complexity, enabling new types of statistical analysis for neural networks. We analyze data by retrieving samples perceived as similar by the network, and are able to quantify the denoising effect without requiring true labels. We also propose, during training, to enforce that examples known to be similar should also be seen as similar by the network, and notice speed-up training effects for certain datasets.
Carriers and Return Cases in Scarlet Fever (1935)

1. In view of the high carrier rate on discharge from hospital, the bacteriological examination of swabs from scarlet fever patients is of no value in the detection of probable infecting cases. 2. There is, however, a definite relationship between the degree of infection, as measured by the profusion of haemolytic streptococci in cultures on discharge, and the likelihood of the patient infecting others. 3. The causal connection between “infecting” case and return case is strongly supported by finding the same serological type of Streptococcus pyogenes in both cases. 4. A patient who has had complications in hospital is slightly more liable to become an infecting case than one whose course has been uncomplicated. 5. The commonest age group of infecting cases is 5–10 years. 6. The majority (70 per cent.) of the return cases occurred within 14 days of the arrival home of the infecting case. 7. Overcrowding in the home, and the number of the susceptibles exposed do not appear to be important factors in the production of return cases. 8. A history of tonsillectomy does not appear to bear any important relationship to the occurrence of infecting cases, but the inconclusive nature of our findings indicates the desirability of further investigation of this question and that of the relation of the condition of the tonsils to their infectivity. 9. Discharge from hospital as early as is consistent with a satisfactory clinical condition is shown to be advantageous from the point of view both of the patient and of the hospital administration. 10. The administration of scarlatinal antitoxin is likely to render a patient less liable to convey infection on discharge.
The Question of Aromaticity in Open-Shell Cations and Anions as Ion-Radical Offsprings of Polycyclic Aromatic and Antiaromatic Hydrocarbons (2006)

Arene cation-radicals and anion-radicals result directly from the one-electron oxidation and reduction of many aromatic hydrocarbons, yet virtually nothing is known of their intrinsic (thermodynamic) stability and hence "aromatic character". Since such paramagnetic ion radicals lie intermediate between aromatic (Hückel) hydrocarbons with 4n + 2-electrons and antiaromatic analogues with 4n-electrons, we can now address the question of pi-delocalization in these odd-electron counterparts. Application of the structure-based "harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity" or the HOMA method leads to the surprising conclusion that the aromaticity of these rather reactive, kinetically unstable arene cation and anion radicals (as measured by the HOMA index) is actually higher than that of their (diamagnetic) parent-contrary to conventional expectations.
Chemical Vapor Deposition of Chalcogenide Semiconductors. (1975)

Abstract : Polycrystalline CdTe was prepared by vapor deposition. The elements were vaporized and carried to the reaction chamber using He + 8% H2 as the carrier gas (all at 1 atm total pressure). Deposition rates were 0.1-0.01 mm/hr at temperatures between 725-785C. Columnar grains and micron size pores were found in all samples. Electrical property measurements and x-ray texture studies were made. Transmission electron microscopy elucidated the nature of precitates and voids (50-100 A) in the as grown material and material from other sources. Scattering theory calculations indicate orders of magnitude agreement with the observed absorption coefficients at 10.6 micrometers. A new absorption measuring technique was developed capable of determining beta accurately on small samples. The thermal shift in the fundamental absorption edge due to infrared absorption (10.6 micrometers) was used. Both the theory and measurement system were defined.
Active Particles in Complex and Crowded Environments (2016)

This article reviews both experimental and theoretical advances in the field of active matter which consists of natural and artificial objects capable of self-propulsion. Prime examples of active particles are Brownian particles, biological or manmade microscopic and nanoscopic objects, that can propel themselfes by taking up energy from their environment and converting it into directed motion. The review provides a guided tour through the basic principles and fabrication of active particles and discusses also many interesting future directions these manmade micromachines and nanomachines could take as autonomous agents for healthcare, sustainability, and security applications.
Retinal Pigment Epithelium Responses to Selective Retina Therapy in Mouse Eyes (2016)

Selective retina therapy seems to induce selective RPE damage without collateral thermal injury in the neural retina. Furthermore, SRT-treated lesions recovered by proliferation of RPE cells that were present in the treated lesions and by expansion of adjacent RPE cells.
On the Difficulty of Evaluating Baselines: A Study on Recommender Systems (2019)

Numerical evaluations with comparisons to baselines play a central role when judging research in recommender systems. In this paper, we show that running baselines properly is difficult. We demonstrate this issue on two extensively studied datasets. First, we show that results for baselines that have been used in numerous publications over the past five years for the Movielens 10M benchmark are suboptimal. With a careful setup of a vanilla matrix factorization baseline, we are not only able to improve upon the reported results for this baseline but even outperform the reported results of any newly proposed method. Secondly, we recap the tremendous effort that was required by the community to obtain high quality results for simple methods on the Netflix Prize. Our results indicate that empirical findings in research papers are questionable unless they were obtained on standardized benchmarks where baselines have been tuned extensively by the research community.
