Optimal Subset Mapping And Convergence Evaluation of Mapping Algorithms for Distributing Task Graphs on Multiprocessor SoC (2007)

Mapping an application on multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC) is a crucial step in architecture exploration. The problem is to minimize optimization effort and application execution time. Applications are modeled as static acyclic task graphs which are mapped to an MPSoC. The analysis is based on extensive simulations with 300 node graphs from the standard graph set. We present a new algorithm, optimal subset mapping (OSM), that rapidly evaluates task distribution mapping space, and then compare it to simulated annealing (SA) and group migration (GM) algorithms. OSM was developed to make architecture exploration faster. Efficiency of OSM is 5.0 times and 2.4 times than that of GM and SA, respectively, when efficiency is measured as the application speedup divided by the number of iterations needed for optimization. This saves 81% and 62% in wall clock optimization time, respectively. However, this is a tradeoff because OSM reaches 96% and 89% application speedup compared to GM and SA. Results show that OSM and GM have opposite convergence behavior and SA comes between these two.
Neuroprotective effects of argatroban and C5a receptor antagonist (PMX53) following intracerebral haemorrhage (2013)

Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke that associated with neurological dysfunction and inflammation, which may be ameliorated by a neuroprotective strategy targeting the complement cascade. The protective effect of C5a-receptor antagonist (PMX53) solely and in combination with thrombin antagonist (argatroban) was investigated in the ICH mouse model, respectively. Adult male C57BL/6J wild-type (WT) mice and C3(-/-) mice were randomized to receive PMX53/argatroban 1, 3 and 5 days after ICH. A double injection technique was used to infuse 25 μl of autologous whole blood into the right striatum. Mice in the sham group received only needle insertion. Brain water content and mRNA of inflammatory factors were measured on the first, third and fifth days after ICH, respectively. Neurological dysfunction was assessed using a 28-point neurological scoring system in the three cohorts, namely, on days 1, 3 and 5 following ICH. Animals treated with PMX53/argatroban demonstrated significant improvements in neurological function and fewer neurological apoptosis detected by TUNEL [terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end-labelling] and βIII-tubulin dual-staining compared with vehicle-treated animals. Compared with sham-treated mice, the brain water content in argatroban/PMX53-treated mice was decreased significantly in both the ipsilateral cortex and ipsilateral striatum. Administration of PMX53/argatroban provided a synergistic neuroprotective effect via reducing inflammatory factors and brain oedema, leading to improvements in neurofunctional outcome. The results of this study indicated that simultaneous blockade of the thrombin and C5a receptors represent a promising neuroprotective strategy in haemorrhagic stroke.
Green II–VI light emitting diodes with long lifetime on InP substrate (2000)

We demonstrate that the quaternary compound ZnMgSeTe can be grown by molecular beam epitaxy in reasonable quality. For layers with energy gaps as high as 3.1 eV, nitrogen doping leads to free hole concentrations around 1018 cm−3. In combination with n-ZnMgCdSe, this material allows the fabrication of II–VI diodes lattice matched to InP substrate. Light emitting diodes containing a tensile strained ZnCdSe quantum well in ZnMgCdSe emit green light when operated in forward direction. In contrast to diodes with a comparable density of extended defects grown on GaAs substrate, these diodes show no formation of dark line defects and a lifetime which is about three orders of magnitude longer.
A Microstrip-Line-Fed Suspended Square Slot Microstrip Antenna for Circular Polarization Operations (2015)

A microstrip line-fed suspended square slot antenna with parasitic patch is presented. The proposed antenna is excited by a microstrip line feed placed at the bottom side of the substrate. The antenna geometry gets excitation via EM coupling. In this structure circular polarization (CP) is also obtained with suspended air gap and CP frequency can be switched between 4.5GHz to 5.5GHz. Thus, a 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of about 4.32% is obtained. This structure exhibitsimpedance bandwidth, which is over 20.83%. The antenna was optimized with Ansoft's HFSS software and was validated through a prototype. Measured results fairly agree with the simulated data.
Mechanical Analysis for the Deck Pavement of Long-Span Steel Bridge (2011)

The mechanical analysis is applied for the steel box girder bridge with orthotropic plate and pavement by means of Finite Element Method. The interaction between steel bridge and pavement on the long-span steel bridge is evaluated in three calculation stages. The emphasis of the analysis includes the mechanical characteristics and the influential factors of large components(cross diaphragm)and local components (U-shaped ribs). Considering the mechanical changes by the load of heavy-duty vehicles and heavy load with braking, the interfacial shear failure is studied for the main form of damage. In view of this major form of damage, this paper puts forward the corresponding mechanical analysis of the indicators.
Homebuilt: How to Assemble an Electronic Door Lock (2015)

We have machines to brew our coffee, turn on the air conditioner, and wash our laundry. Why then, do we not have machines to lock and unlock our front doors automatically? This thought pervaded my mind as I had to unlock not one, not two, but three doors multiple times per day at my student dorm.
Investigation of the bulk current injection technique by comparison to induced currents from radiated electromagnetic fields (2002)

Since the late 80s bulk current injection (BCI) techniques have gained wide acceptance in aerospace, commercial and military electromagnetic interference (EMI) testing. The BCI techniques provide a low cost and technically superior result to radiated techniques at low frequencies. There has always been conflict between adherents to radiated techniques and the newer BCI techniques. This investigation focuses on the degree to which BCI techniques accurately simulate the radiated mechanism of field-to-wire coupling.
Self-Supervised Learning for Contextualized Extractive Summarization (2019)

Existing models for extractive summarization are usually trained from scratch with a crossentropy loss, which does not explicitly capture the global context at the document level. In this paper, we aim to improve this task by introducing three auxiliary pre-training tasks that learn to capture the document-level context in a self-supervised fashion. Experiments on the widely-used CNN/DM dataset validate the effectiveness of the proposed auxiliary tasks. Furthermore, we show that after pretraining, a clean model with simple building blocks is able to outperform previous state-ofthe-art that are carefully designed. 1
Treatment with Anti-Ia and Antiblast/Monocyte Monoclonal Antibodies Can Prolong Skin Allograft Survival in Nonhuman Primates (1982)

Two monoclonal antibodies, one directed against human Ia antigens and the other reactive to both monocytes and blast cells, were evaluated for prolonging skin graft survival in Rhesus monkeys. Various doses of the antibodies were given intravenously until the skin graft was rejected. Compared with a graft survival of five days for untreated control monkeys, five animals receiving anti-Ia had grafts surviving from 13 to 19 days and six animals treated with antiblast/monocyte antibody had grafts surviving from 15 to 22 days. No adverse side effects were seen with treatment with antiblast/monocyte antibodies. However, the dose of anti-Ia antibody was critical in that four monkeys died of anaphylaxis when injected with amounts exceeding 200 microliters of ascites with a titer of 1:10(5).
Predicting Improvement in Patients with Non-Endogenous Depression (1985)

Forty-three patients with non-endogenous depressive disorders were assessed shortly after psychiatric referral, and reassessed at six and at 20 weeks. The pattern of improvement appeared to be set shortly after the initial consultation, but could be most clearly predicted by the degree of improvement at the end of the third week. Key baseline factors predicting a more marked improvement at each follow-up were a more severe depression, the break-up of an intimate relationship, and the presence of weight loss. Positive life events occurring after the initial assessment predicted improvement at six and at 20 weeks, while the presence of a neutralising event (which negated an earlier threatening life event) predicted improvement at 20 weeks.
An evolutionary approach for the industrial introduction of virtual commissioning (2008)

This contribution investigates the topic ldquovirtual commissioningrdquo from an industrial point of view and proposes an evolutionary and realistic technical concept for the introduction of virtual commissioning environments. Main points of this paper are the identification and formulation of industrial requirements for the introduction of a virtual commissioning environment, a proof of commercial tools against these requirements and a proposal of an evolutionary technical concept. Finally, this paper reports first experiences about a prototypical implementation of the proposed approach.
Heparin-like polymers derived from dextran enhance colonic anastomosis resistance to leakage (1996)

A new tissue repair agent, RGTA11, is described for its ability to enhance colonic anastomosis repair and resistance to leakage. RGTA11 is a dextran derivative containing 110% carboxymethyl groups, 2.6% carboxymethyl benzylamide groups, and 36.6% carboxymethyl benzylamide sulfonate groups. RGTA11 was deemed efficient to protect the heparin-binding growth factors FGF2 against trypsin digestion. By this property RGTA11 mimicked heparin or heparan sulfate. We have also found that RGTA11 protected TGF beta 1 against trypsin digestion while heparin did not. RGTA11 was then tested in an in vivo wound-healing model of colonic anastomosis. Our results indicate that after 48 h, RGTA11- or RGTA11/FGF-2-treated animals presented a resistance of the anastomosis to leakage which was increased twofold (p < 0.05) over untreated controls. After 96 h and until day 7 there was no more difference with control animals. Our results suggest that RGTA11 presents potential clinical interest by preventing earlier leakage of colonic anastomosis.
Generalized kinetic model for wet oxidation of organic compounds (1991)

Abstract A generalized kinetic model for wet oxidation (WO) of organic compounds was developed based on a simplified reaction scheme considering acetic acid as the rate‐limiting intermediate. The selectivity of product vs. intermediate formations was quantified by the ratio of the two reaction rate constants. This point selectivity α may be used to characterize the “strength” of the feed stream to be treated. This global model was validated using WO kinetic data reported for temperatures ranging from 150°C to 550°C and pressures varying from 20 bar to 440 bar. Organic conversions predicted by this model, as compared to other models, more accurately reflect the actual performance of WO processes. The model has practical validity for a variety of organic compounds, wastewaters and sludges in both subcritical and supercritical water oxidation processes.
Electrodeposition of Cadmium Telluride Using Phosphine Telluride (1985)

Cadmium telluride is electrodeposited on a titanium cathode in a new process that employs tri‐n‐butylphosphine telluride and cadmium ion dissolved in propylene carbonate at about 100°C. Smooth gray films have been obtained with thicknesses up to 5.4 μm. The Te/Cd atomic ratio depends on applied potential and solution composition with values ranging between 0.63 and 1.1. X‐ray data indicate that the as‐deposited film is amorphous but becomes polycrystalline (cubic) upon annealing at 400°C. The as‐deposited film can be deposited as either p or n type, and heat‐treatment converts p to n. In photoelectrochemical cells, photocurrents up to 4.2 mA/cm2 have been obtained for p‐type at −1200 mVvs. .

First‐trimester maternal serum unconjugated oestriol and alpha‐fetoprotein in fetal Down's syndrome (1991)

Maternal sera (MS) taken from 1396 women prior to chorionic villus sampling at 9-12 menstrual weeks were assayed for unconjugated oestriol (uE3) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Median levels increased by 41 and 26 per cent per week respectively in normal pregnancies. There were 32 pregnancies with a chromosome abnormality. The median MS uE3 and AFP were 0.73 and 0.75 multiples of the median (MoM) respectively in the ten cases of Down's syndrome (DS) but not decreased in the other abnormalities. These results suggest that both uE3 and AFP may be useful in identifying DS in the first trimester. Additional prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.
Optical quadratic nonlinearity in corona-poled glass film waveguides (1999)

Although there has been active research on the optical quadratic nonlinearity that appears in poled glass, its origin has not been clarified. There have been many reports on bulk glass but little research on poled glass thin film waveguides. Waveguide structures are important for future applications to optical IC devices, and clarifying the origin of the nonlinearity is very important. In this work we report experiments on phase-matched blue second-harmonic generation in a corona-poled Corning 7059 glass film waveguide with a titanium sapphire laser as a fundamental wave and investigate the origin of its nonlinearity. After relaxation of the nonlinearity optical constant once the poling has been measured, the analysis is performed using a biexponential function, and the origin is elucidated by separating the fast and the slow relaxation components. In particular, an etching experiment has been carried out noting the latter component, and it has been shown that the charge distribution generated in the waveguide by the poling and the interface between the glass film and glass substrate play important roles in generating quadratic nonlinearity. It has also been confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy that sodium diffuses in Pyrex glass substrate as a result of poling. © 1999 Scripta Technica, Electron Comm Jpn Pt 2, 82(8): 53–61, 1999
Encapsulated Reagents for Nitrosation (2003)

[reaction: see text] A novel class of stable, mild, and size-shape-selective nitrosating agents for secondary amides is introduced. These are based on reversible entrapment and release of reactive nitrosonium species by calix[4]arenes. The NO(+) encapsulation controls the reaction selectivity.
A Calorimeter for Rapid Determination of Heat Loss and Heat Production in Laboratory Animals (1954)

A rapid calorimeter of the gradient type, suitable for laboratory animals, has been built and tested. A thin gradient layer (0.015-inch woven glass tape) of relatively high thermal conductivity is used to line the walls of the calorimeter. The heat flow rate across the gradient layer is measured by means of 2152 copper-constantan thermal junctions wired in series. With an input of 1 kcal/hour, 83.26 μv output is obtained. Total response time of the instrument together with the animal holder and metabolic equipment in place is of the order of 10–12 minutes. Heat loss by vaporization is measured by electric hygrometer sensing elements. Heat production is determined by a continual analysis of oxygen consumption using a Pauling analyzer. Heat loss, heat production, and rectal, skin, air, and wall temperatures are continuously recorded. Electric and alcohol calibrations and preliminary observations on monkeys are presented. The calorimeter should make possible critical experiments on thermoregulatory mechanisms of animals.
Differential Distribution of Simple Sequence Repeats in Eukaryotic Genome Sequences (2001)

Complete chromosome/genome sequences available from humans, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were analyzed for the occurrence of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide repeats. In all of the genomes studied, dinucleotide repeat stretches tended to be longer than other repeats. Additionally, tetranucleotide repeats in humans and trinucleotide repeats in Drosophila also seemed to be longer. Although the trends for different repeats are similar between different chromosomes within a genome, the density of repeats may vary between different chromosomes of the same species. The abundance or rarity of various di- and trinucleotide repeats in different genomes cannot be explained by nucleotide composition of a sequence or potential of repeated motifs to form alternative DNA structures. This suggests that in addition to nucleotide composition of repeat motifs, characteristic DNA replication/repair/recombination machinery might play an important role in the genesis of repeats. Moreover, analysis of complete genome coding DNA sequences of Drosophila, C. elegans, and yeast indicated that expansions of codon repeats corresponding to small hydrophilic amino acids are tolerated more, while strong selection pressures probably eliminate codon repeats encoding hydrophobic and basic amino acids. The locations and sequences of all of the repeat loci detected in genome sequences and coding DNA sequences are available at http://www.ncl-india.org/ssr and could be useful for further studies.
PET probes for imaging brain acetylcholinesterase (2013)

Imaging acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is valuable not only for diagnosing and understanding dementia but also for monitoring the effects of cholinesterase inhibitors used as antidementia drugs and for determining the appropriate clinical dosage of newly developed cholinesterase inhibitors. The distribution of AChE in the living brain can be imaged with two different types of radioprobes, including substrate-type and ligand-type probes. The substrate-type positron emission tomography (PET) probes, N-[(11) C]methylpiperidin-4-yl acetate ([(11) C]MP4A), and its propionate, [(11) C]MP4P, have been widely used in clinical studies of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. [(11) C]MP4A and [(11) C]MP4P have been used to demonstrate a reduction in AChE activity in the brains of dementia patients, as well as the bioavailability of AChE inhibitors, leading to the subsequent development of the widely available (18) F-labeled derivatives of MP4A. In addition, several radiolabeled cholinesterase inhibitors have been developed as PET probes for AChE mapping in the brain. Herein, we have reviewed the development of PET probes for the imaging of AChE in the brain and described the principles of measuring AChE activity in the brain using PET with substrate-type radioprobes. A discussion of the reagents developed from substrate-type PET probes for the specific measurement of AChE activity in vitro has also been provided.
Molecular Vibrations and Structures of Polyalkyl Polysulfides. II. Polyethylene Disulfide (1966)

Abstract The polarized infrared spectra of oriented sheets of polyethylene disulfide were measured in the 4000—200 cm−1 region; the fiber period was thus found to be 8.8 Å by X-ray diffraction. It is found that this polymer does not have twofold symmetry axes intersecting the helical axis at right angles. The infrared-active normal vibrations of the four likely structural models were calculated by the use of a modified Urey-Bradley force field. The structure of polyethylene disulfide was concluded to be the GGG′G conformation along the sequence of the –S–CH2–CH2–S–S– bonds of the 31 helical model. This model is very similar to the structure of polymethylene disulfide reported in the previous paper. The above structure was then discussed in comparison with two models proposed previously (J. R. Katz, Trans. Faraday Soc., 32, 77 (1936); Y. Minoura, J. Soc. Rubber Ind. Japan, 28, 399 (1955)).
