Reviewing environmental rebound effects from peer-to-peer boat sharing in Finland (2019)

The world crucially needs to reduce the level of emissions being released in the environment in order to combat climate change. With the global population increasing and economies continuing to grow, the circular economy has been heralded by many as the potential solution to economic prosperity whilst also reducing primary resource use and emissions. However, the existence of environmental rebound effect has the potential to severely limit the emission reductions of the circular economy by increasing consumption elsewhere. This paper focuses on the definition of economic rebound effect and on its impact on a peer-to-peer boat sharing platform in Finland. A survey completed by users of the platform allowed for the quantitative analysis of environmental rebound effect experienced by the users and also provide insight into the consumption behaviour that created the most negative consequences. Rebound was experienced by almost all users with almost a third of users experiencing a backfire in which their overall emissions increased as a result of consumption made possible by the economic benefits of shared access. Primary production and the substitution of air travel for the leasing of a boat created large reductions in emissions, however, this was counteracted by increases in personal use and increased air travel by others. This real-life study of environmental rebound effect shows both its existence and impact on the peer-to-peer sharing of boats in Finland.
Polymerization in gel‐like emulsions (1988)

Abstract Polymerization of styrene in gel‐like emulsions (concentrated emulsions which have a volume fraction of monomer greater than 0.74), by using sodium dodecylsulfate as emulsifier and small amounts of water, was carried out with an oil‐soluble initiator, AIBN. Both higher conversions and higher molecular weights of the polymer were obtained as compared to the polymerization in bulk. The higher “rigidity” of the monomer in the interior of the cells of the gel is responsible for the increased rate of polymerization and molecular weight. The polymer particles thus obtained have diameters in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 μm, depending upon the conditions of preparation of the gel. The effects of the concentration of the initiator, the concentration of surfactant, the monomer volume fraction, termperature, and ionic strength of the aqueous solution have been investigated.
Second-order digital filter with only one magnitude-truncation quantiser and having practically no limit cycles (1973)

A 2nd-order digital filter with only one magnitude-truncation quantiser is discussed, and results are given that indicate that limit cycles are almost absent in this filter.
Stathmin-Tubulin Interaction Gradients in Motile and Mitotic Cells (2004)

The spatial organization of the microtubule cytoskeleton is thought to be directed by steady-state activity gradients of diffusible regulatory molecules. We visualized such intracellular gradients by monitoring the interaction between tubulin and a regulator of microtubule dynamics, stathmin, using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor. These gradients were observed both during interphase in motile membrane protrusions and during mitosis around chromosomes, which suggests that a similar mechanism may contribute to the creation of polarized microtubule structures. These interaction patterns are likely to reflect phosphorylation of stathmin in these areas.

Decentralised call admission control for wireless ATM (1999)

A new mobility-specific call admission control (CAC), using a decentralised approach, is introduced. This new CAC reduces the load on the mobility-supporting (MS) ATM switch and prevents it from becoming a bottleneck in the system. The proposed decentralised CAC is executed partially in the serving access point (AP) and partially at the MS-ATM switch. An estimate of the network traffic load is derived from the measured traffic at the specific ATM connection during a fixed period of time. The available bandwidth is calculated at each node and is updated regularly, for use by the generic CAC to route new incoming calls. Call acceptance is decided, based on the call dropping probability. Numerical results show considerable improvement in the CAC responsiveness and network throughput. They also show that the estimate becomes more accurate under heavy traffic conditions.
Dynamic object management for distributed data structures (1992)

In distributed-memory multiprocessors, remote memory accesses incur larger delays than local accesses. Hence, insightful allocation and access of distributed data can yield substantial performance gains. The authors argue for the use of dynamic data management policies encapsulated within individual distributed data structures. Distributed data structures offer performance, flexibility, abstraction, and system independence. This approach is supported by data from a trace-driven simulation study of parallel scientific benchmarks. Experimental data on memory locality, message count, message volume, and communication delay, suggest that data-structure-specific data management is superior to a single, system-imposed policy. >

Stacked modular package (2004)

This paper reports on a vertical package developed to enable size reduction of electronics for miniaturized products. The features of portable and handheld devices have increased whereas size is continually reduced. System-on-a-chip is the most effective size reduction approach, but is not a good business when excessively complex and oversized low yielding chips are required. A vertical package is a cost-effective solution to save placement and routing area on the board. Furthermore, a vertical module enables the benefit of several IC processes in the same module. The goal was to develop a method to produce a stacked modular package on a small scale, and to verify the feasibility of the solution. The main focus has been to test the bare die connections to the interposer and the vertical connections between interposers. The structure enables also, e.g., thin discretes, and passive arrays to be assembled on the interposer, thus enabling system-in-package (SiP) solutions. The method has been tested using thin daisy chain dice and daisy chain vertical interconnections. The dimensions of the developed six chip modules were 14/spl times/8/spl times/0.8-1 mm. This module consists of three aramid-epoxy interposers, each containing two chips. The interposers were either 100 or 150-/spl mu/m thick, and the chips were thinned down to 90 /spl mu/s. Eutectic tin-lead solder bumps were used to mount the flip chips to the interposer. Solder-coated polymer spheres were used to stack the interposers on top of each other. The developed stacking process and vertical area interconnections by plastic core balls give good reliability and uniform stand-off height. Thermal cycling test +125/-40/spl deg/C until 2000 cycles proved reliability of the structure. Flip-chip failures were found after 500 cycles and only 1 of 32 vertical connection failures occurred during the test. Furthermore, this was caused, at least partly, by excess solder. Plastic ball as interconnection media between stacked layers gives good reliability and uniform stand-off height.
Spatio-temporal dynamics prior to neocortical seizures: amplitude versus phase couplings (2003)

The mechanisms underlying the transition of brain activity toward epileptic seizures remain unclear. Based on nonlinear analysis of both intracranial and scalp electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings, different research groups have recently reported dynamical smooth changes in epileptic brain activity several minutes before seizure onset. Such preictal states have been detected in populations of patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) and, more recently, with different neocortical partial epilepsies (NPEs). In this paper, we are particularly interested in the spatio-temporal organization of epileptogenic networks prior to seizures in neocortical epilepsies. For this, we characterize the network of two patients with NPE by means of two nonlinear measures of interdependencies. Since the synchronization of neuronal activity is an essential feature of the generation and propagation of epileptic activity, we have analyzed changes in phase synchrony between EEG time series. In order to compare the phase and amplitude dynamics, we have also studied the degree of association between pairs of signals by means of a nonlinear correlation coefficient. Recent findings have suggested changes prior to seizures in a wideband frequency range. Instead, for the examples of this study, we report a significant decrease of synchrony in the focal area several minutes before seizures (>>30 min in both patients) in the frequency band of 10-25 Hz mainly. Furthermore, the spatio-temporal organization of this preictal activity seems to be specifically related to this frequency band. Measures of both amplitude and phase coupling yielded similar results in narrow-band analysis. These results may open new perspectives on the mechanisms of seizure emergence as well as the organization of neocortical epileptogenic networks. The possibility of forecasting the onset of seizures has important implications for a better understanding, diagnosis and a potential treatment of the epilepsy.
Performance Improvement by Means of Collaboration between Network Intrusion Detection Systems (2009)

Because of today's increased traffic volume and sophisticated attacks, implementing a network intrusion detection/prevention system (NIDS/NIPS) with a single workstation has been challenging. In this paper, we propose Brownie, a system for improving performance by means of collaboration between already-existing NIDSs, instead of installing one expensive hardware or parallel NIDS at a network entry point. Our Brownie achieves performance improvement by 1) offloading overloaded NIDS, and 2) eliminating redundant rules. First, a Brownie exchanges NIDSs' load status and transfers some rules from overloaded to light-loaded NIDSs, which prevents the overloaded NIDSs from bottlenecking the network. Second, if some NIDSs in a network path enable the same rules, a Brownie eliminates the redundant rules, which reduces the aggregate overhead of the NIDSs. The experimental results with a university full-packet trace suggest that Brownies successfully offloads overloaded NIDS and eliminates redundant rules.
Enhanced resolution in two-photon imaging using a TM_01 laser beam at a dielectric interface (2009)

We have experimentally demonstrated that the resolution of a commercial two-photon microscope is improved using a TM(01) laser beam. With a water immersion objective having a 1.2 NA, the measured point- spread function has an area of 0.15lambda(2). We used a plane interface between dielectrics instead of an annular aperture to increase the relative contribution of the longitudinal field of the TM(01) laser beam. The results are in agreement with the vectorial diffraction theory established by Richards and Wolf [Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A253, 358 (1959)]. The TM(01) laser beam was produced with a quadrant of half-wave plates. We have also used the same mode converter to generate a TE(01) laser beam with a zero at the beam center.
One- and two-dimensional carrier profiling in semiconductors by nanospreading resistance profiling (1996)

Measurement of the carrier concentrations in silicon with lateral and in-depth resolution on the sub-100 nm scale has been demonstrated with an atomic force microscope (AFM) using conducting tips. The technique determines the local spreading resistance and hence inherits the attractive features of the conventional spreading resistance profiling (SRP) technique and will be referred to as nano-SRP. For instance, the calibration curve established by measuring homogeneously doped substrates indicates a dynamic range of concentrations between 1014 and 1019 cm−3 and a monotonic relation between resistance and resistivity, similar to a conventional SRP calibration curve. In the present study, W-coated diamond tips are used at a precisely controlled force of 70 μN, leading to a contact radius of 50 nm as determined from AFM analysis of the resulting imprints. The drastic reduction of the contact size implies that one can measure directly on a vertical cross section of the structure and overcome some limitations created by the beveling step. Moreover, the applicability to a cross section implies that one can determine with high resolution the in-depth as well as the lateral carrier distributions, which is not feasible with conventional SRP. The nano-SRP technique has been applied to measure the carrier distribution in several types of submicron structures: pn junctions, two-dimensional implanted and diffused layers. A comparison shows that the different measurement geometries (bevel versus cross section) lead to the expected differences in carrier spilling.
Investigations of Polarization-Induced Hole Accumulations and Vertical Hole Conductions in GaN/AlGaN Heterostructures (2013)

We investigated hole concentrations induced by spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization charges in GaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. An AlN mole fraction dependence reveals that the induced hole concentrations were accurately controlled by the AlN mole fractions up to 0.34 in the GaN/AlGaN/GaN structures. We then demonstrated vertical hole conduction across an undoped graded AlGaN layer and hole injection to an active region in a LED structure to some extent. These results suggest that the controlled polarization charges by AlN mole fractions have potential as an alternative doping method for high hole concentrations in nitride semiconductors.
An on-line process dead-time estimation algorithm (2017)

An algorithm has been developed estimating the process dead-time within a closed-loop time invariant system. This paradigm allows for the estimation of the process dead-time without the need for open-loop tests or disabling the controller. The algorithm can estimate the process dead-time in the presence of noise within the control loop increasing the applicability to industrial applications. The process dead-time estimate can replace the constant dead-time assumptions in the control performance assessments, such as the dead-time constant in the Harris Index calculation.
Text-to-speech voice adaptation from sparse training data (1998)

Voice adaptation describes the process of converting the output of a text-to-speech synthesizer voice to sound like a different voice after a training process in which only a small amount of the desired target speaker’s speech is seen. We employ a locally linear conversion function based on Gaussian mixture models to map bark-scaled line spectral frequencies. We compare performance for three different estimation methods while varying the number of mixture components and the amount of data used for training. An objective evaluation revealed that all three methods yield similar test results. In perceptual tests, listeners judged the converted speech quality as acceptable and fairly successful in adapting to the target speaker.
Peptidyl-Lys Metalloendopeptidase-catalyzed 18O Labeling for Comparative Proteomics (2005)

We recently proposed a comparative proteomic method utilizing proteolytic 18O labeling of peptides catalyzed by peptidyl-Lys metalloendopeptidase (Lys-N) (Rao, K. C. S., Carruth, R. T., and Miyagi, M. (2005) Proteolytic 18O labeling by peptidyl-Lys metalloendopeptidase for comparative proteomics. J. Proteome Res. 4, 507-514). Unlike trypsin, which generates a mixture of isotopic isoforms resulting from the incorporation of one or two 18O atoms into each peptide species, Lys-N incorporates only a single 18O atom into the carboxyl terminus of each proteolytically generated peptide in H2(18)O solvent. This study reports the first biological application of the Lys-N-based proteolytic 18O labeling method, characterizing the proteome changes of cytokine/lipopolysaccharide-treated verses untreated human retinal pigment epithelium (ARPE-19) cells. The study resulted not only in the identification of 584 proteins but also the determination of the relative abundances of 562 proteins in the two proteomes. The results demonstrate the usefulness of the Lys-N-based proteolytic 18O labeling method in comparative proteomic studies. The results also provide the most comprehensive description of the retinal pigment epithelium proteome to date.
[The action of its own antibiotic on the producer of imbricin growing on an agarized medium]. (2000)

The action of imbricin on its own producer Streptomyces imbricatus grown on an agarized medium was studied. Comparatively low concentrations of the antibiotic were shown to have a high lethal action on the streptomycete. The morphological and cultural features of S. imbricatus did not change under the action of imbricin while the variation with respect to the antibiotic production property markedly increased. After the strain exposure to 200 micrograms/ml of imbricin, a stable variant with the antibiotic potency 20 per cent higher than that of the initial organism was isolated.
Active segmentation with fixation (2009)

The human visual system observes and understands a scene/image by making a series of fixations. Every “fixation point” lies inside a particular region of arbitrary shape and size in the scene which can either be an object or just a part of it. We define as a basic segmentation problem the task of segmenting that region containing the “fixation point”. Segmenting this region is equivalent to finding the enclosing contour - a connected set of boundary edge fragments in the edge map of the scene - around the fixation. We present here a novel algorithm that finds this bounding contour and achieves the segmentation of one object, given the fixation. The proposed segmentation framework combines monocular cues (color/intensity/texture) with stereo and/or motion, in a cue independent manner. We evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm on challenging videos and stereo pairs. Although the proposed algorithm is more suitable for an active observer capable of fixating at different locations in the scene, it applies to a single image as well. In fact, we show that even with monocular cues alone, the introduced algorithm performs as well or better than a number of image segmentation algorithms, when applied to challenging inputs.
Designing and integrating user interfaces of geographic database applications (1994)

In this paper, we investigate the problem of designing graphical geographic database user interfaces (GDUIs) and of integrating them into a database management system (DBMS). Geographic applications may vary widely but they all have common aspects due to the spatial component of their data: Geographic data are not standard and they require appropriate tools for (i) editing them (i.e., display and modify) and (ii) querying them. The conceptual problems encountered in designing GDUIs are partly due to the merger of two independent fields, geographic DBMSs on the one hand, and graphical user interfaces (GUIs) on the other hand. Although these areas have evolved considerably during the past ten years, only little effort has been made to understand the problems of connecting them in order to efficiently manipulate geographic data on a display. This issue raises the general problem of coupling a DBMS with specialized modules (in particular, the problem of strong vs. weak integration), and more generally the role of a DBMS in a specific application. After giving the functionalities that a GDUI should provide, we study the possible conceptual integrations between a GUI and a DBMS. Finally, a map editing model as well as a general and modular GDUI architecture are presented.
Technology Scaling Effect on the Relative Impact of NBTI and Process Variation on the Reliability of Digital Circuits (2012)

The impact of negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) on circuit reliability is typically assessed without accounting for the variability associated with the manufacturing process. With technology progression, manufacturing process variability scales more aggressively than transistor NBTI lifetime. Hence, a clear link between transistor and circuit reliability that takes variability into account is imperative to analyze circuit reliability. We propose a figure of merit termed fall-out to describe the proportion of circuits whose frequencies would exceed the initial manufacturing distribution. We use fall-out to assess NBTI and process variability in tandem, and we show that the fall-out of circuit frequency (or timing delay) peaks and diminishes as technology scales. We propose that the fall-out of a ring oscillator can be used as a worst-case indicator of circuit reliability in any given technology.
Charitable Actions Reevaluated in the Novels of Henry Mackenzie (1987)

Many critics, notably
