Sol-Gel Zinc Oxide Humidity Sensors Integrated with a Ring Oscillator Circuit On-a-Chip (2014)

The study develops an integrated humidity microsensor fabricated using the commercial 0.18 μm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. The integrated humidity sensor consists of a humidity sensor and a ring oscillator circuit on-a-chip. The humidity sensor is composed of a sensitive film and branch interdigitated electrodes. The sensitive film is zinc oxide prepared by sol-gel method. After completion of the CMOS process, the sensor requires a post-process to remove the sacrificial oxide layer and to coat the zinc oxide film on the interdigitated electrodes. The capacitance of the sensor changes when the sensitive film adsorbs water vapor. The circuit is used to convert the capacitance of the humidity sensor into the oscillation frequency output. Experimental results show that the output frequency of the sensor changes from 84.3 to 73.4 MHz at 30 °C as the humidity increases 40 to 90%RH.

Trusted Computing: Providing Security for Peer-to-Peer Networks (2005)

In this paper, we demonstrate the application of trusted computing to securing peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. We identify a central challenge in providing many of the security services within these networks, namely the absence of stable verifiable peer identities. We employ the functionalities provided by trusted computing technology to establish a pseudonymous authentication scheme for peers and extend this scheme to build secure channels between peers for future communications. In support of our work, we illustrate how commands from the trusted computing group (TCG) specifications can be used to implement our approach in P2P networks.

Quantifying Swap Credit Risk (1997)

The calculation of swap credit risk exposure continues to be an important topic of discussion at financial institutions and regulatory agencies around the world. Given the complexity of estimating the credit risk of financial contracts whose value changes on a continuous basis, there is no universally accepted fashion by which to assign credit risk exposure to swap transactions; much is dependent on the views of regulators and individual institutions. There are, in general, two broad approaches which must be considered: the calculation of risk exposure for regulatory purposes and the calculation of risk exposure for internal measurement and management purposes. In certain instances these approaches may be identical, particularly if an institution falls under a regulatory jurisdiction which enforces a particular methodology and prefers to apply the same regulatory guidelines to its internal management process. In other instances the approaches may be different; this occurs when there is no governing regulatory guideline or when an institution prefers to utilize regulatory risk calculations for regulatory capital and reporting purposes, and internal risk calculations for internal credit allocation, credit pricing, and risk-adjusted performance purposes. In this chapter we discuss both approaches in general terms (saving a more detailed review of a sample methodology for discussion in Appendix 2). Various concepts developed in this chapter are applied in our discussion of complex swap products in Chapter 7.KeywordsInterest RateCredit RiskCapital RatioActual ExposureReplacement CostThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Thymoquinone, the active ingredient of<i>Nigella sativa</i>seeds, enhances survival and activity of antigen-specific CD8-positive T cells<i>in vitro</i> (2011)

Recent preclinical and clinical studies provide evidence that adoptive transfer of in vitro activated T cells can results in significant antitumour responses in vivo upon acquisition of certain survival and homing properties during in vitro activation. Based on recent studies showing in vivo antioxidant effects of thymoquinone (TQ), the active ingredient of Nigella sativa seeds, this study aims to determine whether or not TQ can increase survival and sustain the expression of the homing receptor CD62L in antigen-specific T cells in vitro. The results showed that stimulation of OT-1 (transgenic CD+) T cells with OVA antigen resulted in activation, as shown by a decrease in the surface expression of CD62L which coincided with significant apoptosis measured three and five days after antigen stimulation. Addition of low concentrations of TQ during CD85+ T-cell activation resulted in enhanced survival of the activated T cells and sustained expression of CD62L. These effects coincided with enhancement in the capability of CD8+ T cells to produce the effector cytokine interferon-gamma (IFNgamma). These results suggest that TQ has a beneficial effect in conditioning T cells in vitro for adoptive T-cell therapy against cancer and infectious disease.
Flexible generation of semantic 3D building models (2005)

The paper presents a new 3D semantic building model dedicated to urban development. It provides the following special semantic features: storeys, passages, opening objects, and building variants, modelling different levels of detail and design respectively temporal variants. The model also includes a parametric part supporting easy generation of buildings and building variants in the urban design phase. In order to make the powerful tools of the CA(A)D world accessible to city modeling, a toolbox is being developed for transformation of IFC data. These extensions and addition facilitate multiple utilization of city models and thus enhance sustainability of modeling.
Computer-assisted, interactive fundus image processing for macular drusen quantitation (1999)

Automated supervised fundus image analysis is an efficient, robust, valid technique for drusen quantitation from color fundus photographs. This approach should prove useful in the conduct of efficient accurate clinical trials for age-related macular degeneration.
New Thermal Neutron Capture Therapy for Malignant Melanoma: Melanogenesis‐Seeking <sup>10</sup>B Molecule‐Melanoma Cell Interaction From In Vitro to First Clinical Trial (1989)

Human melanoma regression by single thermal neutron capture therapy (NCT) using melanoma-seeking 10B compounds has been achieved. Since 1972, the aim of my team has been to synthesize tumor-seeking 10B-compounds possessing selective affinity for specific metabolic activity of the target cancer cells. Once the melanoma takes up these 10B compounds, thermal neutrons, which cause insignificant cell damage, are easily absorbed by nonradioactive 10B, inducing the 10B(n, alpha)7Li reaction and releasing the high LET particles to 14 mu melanoma cell diameter, destroying the tumor without damaging surrounding tissue. Radiobiological and preclinical studies culminated in the first successful human NCT treatment, with no recurrence of the treated melanoma since July, 1987.
High Performance Distributed Optical Fiber Sensors based on Raman Scattering (2012)

The role of preimplantation genetic diagnosis in diagnosing embryo aneuploidy (2009)

The use of preimplantation genetic diagnosis to assist the identification and preferential transfer of healthy euploid embryos should improve implantation rates, reduce miscarriages and trisomic offspring, and ultimately lead to an increase in live birth rates.
Identifying the perspectives for sustainability enhancement (2016)

Purpose Integrating sustainability strategies with business processes is the most challenging task for industry professionals due to the lack of a proper understanding of sustainability concepts. At the same time, a lack of proper guidance restricts them from pursuing such activities. As far as the aspects of implementation are concerned, it is very tough to analyse and pick up key points to start with. The purpose of this paper is to utilize a text mining approach to analyse qualitative data and identify the critical issues for implementing sustainability in the manufacturing sector by focussing on turning processes based on the survey responses of researchers and industry professionals. Design/methodology/approach An integrated method employing principal component analysis (PCA) and the k-means clustering algorithm has been applied to extract useful information from a set of various suggestions provided by both the groups surveyed. The textual data has also been visualized using word clouds and, thus, it has been compared with the results of the text mining approach. Findings The results of the study indicate the importance of the role of government organizations and the need for a skilled workforce, which are crucial for enhancing aspects of sustainability in the manufacturing sector, as supported by both researchers and industry professionals. Besides this, researchers have highlighted the need to focus more on environmentally related issues, whereas industry professionals have raised performance-related issues. Practical implications The findings of the study present the important concerns of both the groups towards sustainability initiatives and, thus, will help to enhance the understanding of the underlying possibilities of negotiating jointly to enhance the performance of machining processes. Originality/value The novelty of this paper lies in its identification of important initiatives that are having a direct impact on the sustainable aspects of the machining process, based on the views of researchers and industry professionals.
The clinical physiology of water metabolism. Part III: The water depletion (hyperosmolar) and water excess (hyposmolar) syndromes. (1980)

Hyperosmolality occurs when there are defects in the two major homeostatic mechanisms required for water balance-thirst and arginine vasopressin (AVP) release. In this situation hypotonic fluids are lost in substantial quantities causing depletion of both intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments. Patients with essential hypernatremia have defective osmotically stimulated AVP release and thirst but may have intact mechanisms for AVP release following hypovolemia. Hyperosmolality can also be seen in circumstances in which impermeable solutes are present in excessive quantities in extracellular fluid. Under these conditions there is cellular dehydration and the serum sodium may actually be reduced by water drawn out of cells along an osmotic gradient. Hyposmolality and hyponatremia may be seen in a variety of clinical conditions. Salt depletion, states in which edema occurs and the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) may all produce severe dilution of body fluids resulting in serious neurologic disturbances. The differential diagnosis of these states is greatly facilitated by careful clinical assessment of extracellular fluid volume and by determination of urine sodium concentration. Treatment of the hyposmolar syndromes is contingent on the pathophysiology of the underlying disorder; hyponatremia due to salt depletion is treated with infusions of isotonic saline whereas mild hyponatremia in cirrhosis and ascites is best treated with water restriction. Severe symptomatic hyponatremia due to SIADH is treated with hypertonic saline therapy, sometimes in association with intravenous administration of furosemide. Less severe, chronic cases may be treated with dichlormethyltetracycline which blocks the action of AVP on the collecting duct.

RASTA-PLP speech analysis technique (1992)

Most speech parameter estimation techniques are easily influenced by the frequency response of the communication channel. The authors have developed a technique that is more robust to such steady-state spectral factors in speech. The approach is conceptually simple and computationally efficient. The new method is described, and experimental results are proposed that show significant advantages for the proposed method.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Determination of β‐Glucan Molecular Weight Using SEC with Calcofluor Detection in Cereal Extracts (2003)

ABSTRACT A high‐performance size‐exclusion chromatography system (HPSEC) was set up with detection based on the specific binding of Calcofluor to β‐glucan for determination of amount and molecular weight of β‐glucan in different cereal extracts. To calibrate the HPSEC system, a purified β‐glucan was fractionated into narrow molecular weight ranges and the average molecular weight was determined before analysis on the HPSEC system. The detector response was similar for β‐glucans from oats and barley and appeared to be independent of molecular weight. Four different methods for extraction of β‐glucan from different cereal products were tested: two alkaline, one with hot water and added α‐amylase, and one with water and added xylanase. Inactivation of endogenous β‐glucanase was crucial for the stability of the extracts, even when extracting at high temperature or pH. Yields varied widely between the different extraction methods but average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution were similar. Extraction with sodium hydroxide generally gave a higher yield and molecular weight of β‐glucan in the extracts.
TiN x films with metallic behavior at high N/Ti ratios for better solar control windows (1999)

Using cathodic arc deposition with 700 eV nitrogen ion assistance, metallic response in TiNx thin films to at least N/Ti=1.3 is found. Metallic behavior is usually limited to N/Ti ratios just above 1.1. Defects are almost exclusively Ti vacancies which further enhances optical changes. The resulting large shift in onset of Drude reflection to longer wavelengths enhances the view, daylighting, and environmental performance of a coated window relative to stoichiometric TiN films on glass.
A model for cooperative interactive plan explanation (2002)

The Interactive Discourse Planner (IDP) is designed to describe and justify domain plans interactively. The text plan that IDP incrementally formulates and executes is represented uniformly in the same knowledge base with the domain plans that are under discussion. In this way, the text plan and the domain plans are both accessible for analyzing the user's feedback. IDP can interpret vaguely articulated feedback, generate concise replies and metacomments, and detect when the user's feedback initiates a digression. As a testbed for my model, I am implementing IDP to interactively give driving directions and route advice.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Metabolic Diseases Drug Discovery World Summit (2003)

In Type 2 diabetes, glucose homeostasis is impaired due to either a decrease in insulin secretion or insulin action. In this symposium, molecular targets that could have an impact on either or both of these defects were discussed and data related to specific compounds were presented. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitors that relieve the negative control on insulin action and are active in cell assays, dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors that raise postprandial glucagon-like peptide 1 levels in animals and humans, and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase inhibitors that increase the levels of pyruvate dehydrogenase, which in turn improve insulin sensitivity, were all discussed. Roche presented for the first time their novel glucokinase activators and discussed both the in vitro and in vivo activity profiles of representative glucokinase activators as potential therapy for Type 2 diabetes. Second generation retinoid X receptor modulators that retain the desirable effects of full agonists, while devoid of their negative attributes, such as triglyceride accumulation, were discussed. Also, clinical efficacy results of synthetic exendin-4, Exenatide trade mark, a glucagon-like peptide 1 analogue, were presented. In the area of obesity, agonists of several central (melanocortin type 4, serotonin subtype 2C and cannabinoid receptor 1) receptors and one peripheral G-protein-coupled receptor, cholecystokinin receptor-A, all of which lead to reduced food intake in animals, were discussed.
Cooking quality and chemical composition of some early, medium and late maturing cultivars of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Mill.) (1984)

Twenty pigeon pea (red gram) cultivars belonging to early, medium and late maturity groups grown during two seasons\nwere studied for the cooking quality and chemical composition. Although no clear cut differences in cooking time, water absorption, solids dispersion, texture (extrusion force) and chemical constituents of cultivars of different maturity groups were observed, the cooking quality of early cultivars appeared to be better than those of the medium and late ones. Of the various physicochemical characteristics, water absorption, solids dispersion and texture were highly and significantly correlated with the cooking time. This shows that these characteristics can be conveniently used as objective tests to study the cooking quality o f pigeon pea cultivars

Catalytic wet oxidations of phenol‐ and <i>p</i>‐chlorophenol‐contaminated waters (1995)

Abstract The rate constant and activation energy of liquid‐phase oxidation catalyzed by CuSO 4 · 5h 2 O, and Co 2 O 3 , were found for synthesized wastewaters containing 1000 mg dm −3 phenol and 1500 dm −3 p ‐chlorophenol, respectively. Among the catalysts, CuSO 4 · 5H 2 O was demonstrated to be the most effective in reducing the concentration of phenols in wastewaters. The effects of oxygen flow rates and temperatures on the oxidation efficiency were also discussed. The analysis of total organic carbon on the end products after oxidations showed that the liquid phase contained only 10% of intermediate products. Oxidation at different pH values suggested that phenols could be favourably destroyed in an alkaline medium.
