Learning patterns of life from intelligence analyst chat (2016)

Our Multi-INT Data Association Tool (MIDAT) learns patterns of life (POL) of a geographical area from video analyst observations called out in textual reporting. Typical approaches to learning POLs from video make use of computer vision algorithms to extract locations in space and time of various activities. Such approaches are subject to the detection and tracking performance of the video processing algorithms. Numerous examples of human analysts monitoring live video streams annotating or “calling out” relevant entities and activities exist, such as security analysis, crime-scene forensics, news reports, and sports commentary. This user description typically corresponds with textual capture, such as chat. Although the purpose of these text products is primarily to describe events as they happen, organizations typically archive the reports for extended periods. This archive provides a basis to build POLs. Such POLs are useful for diagnosis to assess activities in an area based on historical context, and for consumers of products, who gain an understanding of historical patterns. MIDAT combines natural language processing, multi-hypothesis tracking, and Multi-INT Activity Pattern Learning and Exploitation (MAPLE) technologies in an end-to-end lab prototype that processes textual products produced by video analysts, infers POLs, and highlights anomalies relative to those POLs with links to “tracks" of related activities performed by the same entity. MIDAT technologies perform well, achieving, for example, a 90% F1-value on extracting activities from the textual reports.
Cloning and nucleotide sequence of the genomic Taka-amylase A gene of Aspergillus oryzae. (1989)

The Taka-amylase A (TAA) gene was cloned from the genomic library of A. oryzae using synthetic DNA oligomers as probes. The gene was located in a 3.7 Kbp EcoRI fragment. A. oryzae transformants containing a EcoRl fragment showed increased TAA activity, the increase being 2 to 5-fold. The complete nucleotide sequence of the gene was determined and it was found that the gene consisted of 2040 bp, with eight introns. The deduced amino acid sequence was compared with that reported by Toda et al., with the following findings. A presumed signal peptide consisting of twenty-one amino acids was found at the N-terminal. One insertion, one deletion and ten substitutions of amino acids were observed, which may be due to strain variation.
Stoichiometry of coupling of rhodamine 123 transport to ATP hydrolysis by P‐glycoprotein (1998)

In order to describe the transport mechanism of P-glycoprotein, it is essential to know the coupling ratio, i.e. the moles substrate transported/mole ATP hydrolyzed. P-glycoprotein couples ATP hydrolysis at two ATP-binding sites to transport of a wide variety of neutral or cationic lipophilic compounds. Previously published coupling ratios have fallen within the range 0.02-0.8 mol substrate transported/mol ATP hydrolyzed. We studied the energetics of transport by P-glycoprotein, performing quantitative measurements of the rates of ATP hydrolysis and transport of rhodamine 123 by P-glycoprotein, using isolated P-glycoprotein-rich plasma membrane vesicles. The continuous fluorescence-based assay of rhodamine 123 transport allowed accurate measurement of initial transport rates. Since we measured uptake of rhodamine 123 into the vesicles as a loss of fluorescence, we avoided the problem of high background due to substrate binding to the membranes. The coupling ratio of the transport reaction increased as the rhodamine 123 concentration increased, showing that the basal ATPase activity of P-glycoprotein was progressively recruited for rhodamine 123 transport. Both of the previously identified transport sites of P-glycoprotein [Shapiro, A. B. & Ling, V. (1997a) Eur J. Biochem. 250, 130-137] were involved in transport of saturating concentrations of rhodamine 123. At saturating rhodamine 123 and 0.3 mM ATP, the coupling ratio was 0.83, suggesting a mechanistic coupling ratio of 1. Interestingly, the coupling ratio decreased as the ATP concentration increased so that, at 1.5 mM, close to the cytoplasmic concentration of ATP, the coupling ratio was 0.57. The physiological significance of this effect is not yet understood.
Para uma política criminal das classes subalternas (2018)

Este breve trabalho tem por objetivo elucidar algumas questões pertinentes a natureza do sistema (e do direito) penal, buscando ainda, determinar qual função os instrumentos repressores estatais (e em particular a prisão) historicamente executaram. Do mesmo modo, procura-se demonstrar a necessidade de transformação da atual política criminal, tendo em vista a sua percepção claramente limitada e tendenciosa sobre o fenômeno da criminalidade. Perpassando algumas das mais consagradas obras no âmbito da criminologia, a conclusão final espera ser aquela que aponte a necessidade do surgimento de uma política criminal alternativa baseada nos interesses das classes vitimas da sistemática opressão perpetrada pelo Estado moderno.

Removal of low frequency transient noise from old recordings using model-based signal separation techniques (2002)

This paper is concerned with the removal of low frequency transient noise from old gramophone recordings and film sound tracks. Low frequency transients occur as a result of large breakages or discontinuities in the recorded medium which excite a long-term resonance in the playback apparatus. We present a signal separation-based approach to this problem. Audio signals and noise transients are modelled as autoregressive (AR) processes which are additively superimposed to give the observed waveform. A maximum a posteriori method is presented for separation of the two processes. A modification of this scheme allows for modelling of the large discontinuity at the start of each noise transient and successful restorations are demonstrated. A more practical scheme is then developed which uses a Kalman filter to implement the separation. In order to avoid low frequency distortions to the audio signal, the excitation variance of the noise transient model is tapered exponentially to zero away from the discontinuity. The method is fully automated and more practical to implement than existing schemes for removal of such defects. Results indicate a high level of performance.
Detecting Errors in Spreadsheets (2008)

The paper presents two complementary strategies for identifying errors in spreadsheet programs. The strategies presented are grounded on the assumption that spreadsheets are software, albeit of a different nature than conventional procedural software. Correspondingly, strategies for identifying errors have to take into account the inherent properties of spreadsheets as much as they have to recognize that the conceptual models of 'spreadsheet programmers' differ from the conceptual models of conventional programmers. Nevertheless, nobody can and will write a spreadsheet, without having such a conceptual model in mind, be it of numeric nature or be it of geometrical nature focused on some layout.
LY255283, a novel leukotriene B4 receptor antagonist, limits activation of neutrophils and prevents acute lung injury induced by endotoxin in pigs. (1993)

In a dose-dependent fashion, LY255283 ameliorated lipopolysaccharide-induced ARDS in pigs, possibly by blocking the recruitment of activated PMNs into alveoli.
27.5: New Dot‐Inversion Driving Method for Low Power Consumption LTPS TFT LCDs (2004)

Abstract We have developed a new dot‐inversion driving method for low‐power‐consumption LTPS TFT LCDs. This driving method realizes as much as a 50% reduction in power consumption as compared to the common‐electrode AC driving method commonly used in conventional low power consumption LCDs. Since the method achieves high resolution and high image quality, it is also suited for use in LCDs for mobile applications.
Design and implementation of a mini quadrotor control system in GPS denied environments (2015)

This paper presents the design of quadrotor control architecture, based on crowd-sourcing electronics. The aim of this quadrotor is to provide a test-bed for vision-based autonomous navigation system in GPS denied environments. The control architecture consists of a cascaded structure, where an attitude controller nested in velocity and altitude controllers. The sub-controllers are all linear controllers with feedforward term to linearize the quadrotor dynamics. The control and sensor fusion algorithm is developed under Arduino compatible open source electronics, whereas the complete design also includes an additional downward facing optical flow sensor (PX4FLOW camera) for horizontal velocity estimation and vehicle altitude estimation, and a separate Linux embedded computer (Odriod-U3) for future Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) vision algorithm development. In current stage, by utilizing the PX4FLOW sensor, it is capable of horizontal velocity control and altitude hold. Besides, a ground station GUI software is developed in MATLAB <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">®</sup> for two-way telemetry visualization and in-air parameter tuning.
Biomass Production in Switchgrass across the United States: Database Description and Determinants of Yield (2010)

Fundamental to deriving a sustainable supply of cellulosic feedstock for an emerging biofuels industry is understanding how biomass yield varies as a function of crop management, climate, and soils. Here we focus on the perennial switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.) and compile a database that contains 1190 observations of yield from 39 field trials conducted across the United States. Data include site location, stand age, plot size, cultivar, crop management, biomass yield, temperature, precipitation, and information on land quality. Statistical analysis revealed the major sources of variation in yield. Frequency distributions of yield for upland and lowland ecotypes were unimodal, with mean (±SD) biomass yields of 8.7 ± 4.2 and 12.9 ± 5.9 Mg ha −1 for the two ecotypes, respectively. We looked for, but did not find, bias toward higher yields associated with small plots or preferential establishment of stands on high quality lands. A parametric yield model was fit to the data and accounted for one‐third of the total observed variation in biomass yields, with an equal contribution of growing season precipitation, annual temperature, N fertilization, and ecotype. The model was used to predict yield across the continental United States. Mapped output was consistent with the natural range of switchgrass and, as expected, yields were shown to be limited by precipitation west of the Great Plains. Future studies should extend the geographic distribution of field trials and thus improve our understanding of biomass production as a function of soil, climate, and crop management for promising biofuels such as switchgrass.
A Highly Emissive Conjugated Polyelectrolyte Vector for Gene Delivery and Transfection (2012)

An intrinsically fluorescent cationic polyfluorene (CCP) has been designed, synthesized, characterized, and examined as a plasmid DNA (pDNA) delivery vector. This material facilitates nucleic acid binding, encapsulation and efficient cellular uptake. CCP can effectively protect pDNA against nuclease degradation, which is necessary for gene carriers. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression experiments reveal that CCP can achieve efficient delivery and transfection of pDNA encoding GFP gene with 92% efficiency, which surpasses that of commercial transfection agents, lipofectamine 2000 (Lipo) and polyethylenimine (PEI). CCP is also highly fluorescent, with 43% quantum yield in water, and exhibits excellent photostability, which allows for real-time tracking the location of gene delivery and transfection. These features and capabilities represent a major step toward designing and applying conjugated polymers that function in both imaging and therapeutic applications.
Pattern recognition control outperforms conventional myoelectric control in upper limb patients with targeted muscle reinnervation (2013)

Pattern recognition myoelectric control shows great promise as an alternative to conventional amplitude based control to control multiple degree of freedom prosthetic limbs. Many studies have reported pattern recognition classification error performances of less than 10% during offline tests; however, it remains unclear how this translates to real-time control performance. In this contribution, we compare the real-time control performances between pattern recognition and direct myoelectric control (a popular form of conventional amplitude control) for participants who had received targeted muscle reinnervation. The real-time performance was evaluated during three tasks; 1) a box and blocks task, 2) a clothespin relocation task, and 3) a block stacking task. Our results found that pattern recognition significantly outperformed direct control for all three performance tasks. Furthermore, it was found that pattern recognition was configured much quicker. The classification error of the pattern recognition systems used by the patients was found to be 16% ±(1.6%) suggesting that systems with this error rate may still provide excellent control. Finally, patients qualitatively preferred using pattern recognition control and reported the resulting control to be smoother and more consistent.
Production of Transgenic <em>Xenopus laevis</em> by Restriction Enzyme Mediated Integration and Nuclear Transplantation (2010)

Stable integration of cloned gene products into the Xenopus genome is necessary to control the time and place of expression, to express genes at later stages of embryonic development, and to define how enhancers and promoters regulate gene expression within the embryo. The protocol demonstrated here can be used to efficiently produce transgenic Xenopus laevis embryos. This transgenesis approach involves three parts: 1. Sperm nuclei are isolated from adult X. laevis testis by treatment with lysolecithin, which permeabilizes the sperm plasma membrane. 2. Egg extract is prepared by low speed centrifugation, addition of calcium to cause the extract to progress to interphase of the cell cycle, and a high-speed centrifugation to isolate interphase cytosol. 3. Nuclear transplantation: the nuclei and extract are combined with the linearized plasmid DNA to be introduced as the transgene and a small amount of restriction enzyme. During a short reaction, egg extract partially decondenses the sperm chromatin and the restriction enzyme generates chromosomal breaks that promote recombination of the transgene into the genome. The treated sperm nuclei are then transplanted into unfertilized eggs. Integration of the transgene usually occurs prior to the first embryonic cleavage such that the resulting embryos are not chimeric. These embryos can be analyzed without any need to breed to the next generation, allowing for efficient and rapid generation of transgenic embryos for analyses of promoter and gene function. Adult X. laevis resulting from this procedure also propagate the transgene through the germline and can be used to generate lines of transgenic animals for multiple purposes.

JavaMOP: efficient parametric runtime monitoring framework (2012)

Runtime monitoring is a technique usable in all phases of the software development cycle, from initial testing, to debugging, to actually maintaining proper function in production code. Of particular importance are parametric monitoring systems, which allow the specification of properties that relate objects in a program, rather than only global properties. In the past decade, a number of parametric runtime monitoring systems have been developed. Here we give a demonstration of our system, JavaMOP. It is the only parametric monitoring system that allows multiple differing logical formalisms. It is also the most efficient in terms of runtime overhead, and very competitive with respect to memory usage.
Psoriatic arthritis: the role of TNF inhibition and the effect of its inhibition with etanercept. (2003)

Etanercept has demonstrated excellent safety and efficacy in the treatment of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), which is a chronic inflammatory arthritis. Composed of 2 soluble TNF receptor (p75) domains fused to human immunoglobulin, etanercept neutralizes the inflammatory cytokines TNF and lymphotoxin-alpha. In a phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 60 patients with PsA, etanercept 25 mg subcutaneously twice weekly resulted in significantly more improvement in arthritis and skin symptoms than placebo. At 12 weeks, 87% of etanercept-treated patients achieved a clinical response by the Psoriatic Arthritis Response Criteria compared with 23% of the placebo group. The percent of those patients achieving an American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20), ACR 50, and ACR70 response were 73%, 50% and 13%, respectively, compared to 13%, 3%, and 0% in the placebo group. The median improvement in skin disease activity (assessed by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) in the etanercept group was 46% versus 9% in the placebo group. In a 6-month open-label extension of this study, patients who originally had received placebo rapidly achieved responses to etanercept that were comparable to responses in the group originally randomized to the active drug; in the group originally on etanercept, efficacy was maintained, and a large proportion of patients decreased or discontinued concomitant prednisone or methotrexate. Etanercept was generally well tolerated throughout this trial. A phase 3 trial confirmed the efficacy and safety of etanercept in PsA, with 59% of etanercept-treated patients meeting the ACR20 improvement criteria at 12 weeks compared with 15% of placebo-treated patients. Significant improvements in skin lesions relative to placebo were also observed No adverse events were significantly more common with etanercept than with placebo. Several case studies add to our body of knowledge of etanercept in PsA. Etanercept is well suited to long-term therapy and provides a valuable treatment option for PsA.
Evidence—The Uniform Business Records as Evidence Act Applied to Medical Records (1957)

In Fries v. Goldsby, decided in December 1956, the Nebraska Supreme Court held, inter alia, that a chiropractor’s permanent record of plaintiff’s history, examination, diagnosis, care, and treatment were not admissible into evidence under the Uniform Business Records as Evidence Act. Because the court treated the chiropractor as an expert in his field, this holding probably applies to other medical witnesses who testify as experts in their fields of knowledge. Thus, the court has seemingly held that the permanent records of physicians, surgeons, and dentists do not fall within the purview of the Uniform Act. This note is a discussion of that holding.
Preparation of Silver Nanoparticles via Rapid Expansion of Water in Carbon Dioxide Microemulsion into Reductant Solution (2001)

Perfluoropolyether ammonium carboxylate stabilized water-in-CO2 microemulsion was used to dissolve silver nitrate salt for the RESOLV (Rapid Expansion of a Supercritical Solution into a Liquid SOLVent) process. The solution of reverse micelles with an aqueous silver nitrate core in CO2 was rapidly expanded into a room-temperature solution of sodium borohydride to form silver nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized using optical, X-ray diffraction, and microscopy techniques. The nanoparticle properties were found to be dependent on the pre-expansion microemulsion conditions in CO2.

Effects of reconstructive surgery for left ventricular anterior aneurysm on ventriculoarterial coupling (1999)

After EVCPP, ventriculoarterial coupling improves because of the fall in Ea caused by end systolic pressure reduction. The improvement is related to aortic pressure waveform changes and improved relaxation.
The Lime Creek Formation of north-central Iowa (1987)

Abstract There are three principal exposures of the Lime Creek Formation in the area between Mason City and Charles City, northern Iowa. By a considerable margin, the most extensive site is the quarry of the former Rockford Brick and Tile Company, only 1 mi (1.6 km) west of town in Floyd County (NW¼Sec. 16, T.95N., R.18W.). The Juniper Hill State Preserve is 0.5 mi(0.8 km) to the northwest. Bird Hill is located just a fe miles farther west at a road cut on an east-west county right-of-way in eastern Cerro Gordo County (NE½Sec.24, T.95N., R.19W.). The stratigraphic section known historically as Hackberry Grove, now called Claybanks Forest, lies just south of the Winnebago River (near center NE½Sec.34, T.96N., R.19W.). The Winnebago River was originally called Lime Creek (hence the name Lime Creek Formation). A location map (Fig. 1) has been prepared from the general highway and transportation maps of Cerro Gordo and Floyd counties. Topographic sheets for the Mason City Southeast and Rockford 7½-minute Quadrangles cover the area. The Rockford Brick and Tile property lies adjacent to County Road B47, west of Rockford. The kilns have been inactive for several years, and permission to visit the grounds must be secured from the present owner, Allied Construction Company, 1211 South Main Street, Charles City, Iowa 50616. Bird Hill is also situated on County Road B47, with a large parking area on the north side of the road. The site has recently been designateda State Preserve. At Hackberry Grove, the Claybanks
TAP-Independent Presentation of CTL Epitopes by Trojan Antigens (2001)

The majority of CTL epitopes are derived from intracellular proteins that are degraded in the cytoplasm by proteasomes into peptides that are transported into the endoplasmic reticulum by the TAP complex. These peptides can be further processed into the optimal size (8-10 residues) for binding with nascent MHC class I molecules, generating complexes that are exported to the cell surface. Proteins or peptides containing CTL epitopes can be introduced into the cytoplasm of APCs by linking them to membrane-translocating Trojan carriers allowing their incorporation into the MHC class I Ag-processing pathway. The present findings suggest that these "Trojan" Ags can be transported into the endoplasmic reticulum in a TAP-independent way where they are processed and trimmed into CTL epitopes. Furthermore, processing of Trojan Ags can also occur in the trans-Golgi compartment, with the participation of the endopeptidase furin and possibly with the additional participation of a carboxypeptidase. We believe that these findings will be of value for the design of CTL-inducing vaccines for the treatment or prevention of infectious and malignant diseases.
