Compact constellation algorithm for blind equalization of QAM signals (2004)

A new algorithm is presented for the blind equalization of complex signals. This algorithm combines the benefits of the well-known reduced-constellation algorithm (RCA) and decision-directed algorithm (DDA). The contribution lies in the technique of incorporating the sliced symbols (outcome of the decision device) in the weight adaptation process. Unlike the RCA, where the reduced constellation contains only four symbol points, the proposed algorithms uses all symbols of the signal constellation by compacting them in some statistical manner. The steady-state characteristics of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated by way of simulations and are compared to those of RCA. It is observed that the new algorithm has a better steady-state performance than RCA.

<sup>1</sup>H MRS in acute traumatic brain injury (1998)

The objective of this study was to demonstrate 1H MR spectroscopy (MRS) changes in cerebral metabolites after acute head trauma. Twenty-five patients (12 children, 13 adults) were examined with quantitative 1H MRS after closed head injury. Clinical grade (Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS]) and outcome (Rancho Los Amigos Medical Center Outcome Score [ROS]) were correlated with quantitative neurochemical findings. N-acetylaspartate (NAA), a neuronal and axonal marker, was reduced (P < .03-.001). In children, a reduced NAA/creatine plus phosphocreatine (Cr) level and the presence of detectable lipid/lactate predicted bad outcome (sensitivity, 89%; specificity, 89%). The first MRS examination of all patients correlated with ROS versus NAA (r = .65, P < .0001). Although most patients showed MRS abnormalities, striking heterogeneity of 1H MRS characterized the individual patients. 1H MRS identifies multiple patterns of diffuse brain injury after blunt head trauma. There was a strong correlation between MRS and outcome. Future prospective studies will be needed to determine the clinical usefulness of MRS in predicting outcome from closed head injury.
Histochemical studies on the distribution of certain dehydrogenases in squamous cell carcinoma of cheek. (1989)

Histochemical distribution of lactate, isocitrate and succinate dehydrogenases in normal oral epithelium and in well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of cheek region was studied. Lactate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and succinate dehydrogenase activity was found to be more in the malignant cells. Succinate and lactate dehydrogenase presented a conspicuous pattern in which the cells located at the periphery of the malignant sheets in well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma showed moderate to intense activity as compared to cells in the central portion. The results are discussed and it is suggested that the enhanced glycolysis and subdued function of the tricarboxylic acid cycle is not a universal criterion during malignancy as reported in the previous investigations.
A fiber drop analyzer: A new analytical instrument for the individual, sequential, or collective measurement of the physical and chemical properties of liquids (1992)

A new instrumental method has been devised for the individual, sequential, or collective measurement of the physical and chemical properties of liquids. The instrumental theory for the fiber drop analyzer (FDA) has been developed for the measurement of surface tension, viscosity, refractive index, and chemical composition of a liquid. An empirical theory is suggested for the measurement of pH in a limited range. The analytical theory for the fiber drop analyzer has been established, a prototype constructed and tested for measuring individually surface tension, viscosity, refractive index, and the chemical composition on a restricted set of test solution. The instrument is shown to have the capability to simultaneously measure the above measurands, but in addition can in individual measurement procedures, measure all these quantities. The instrument perhaps is also potentially capable of measuring specific gravity and pH in its existing form, and other optical properties of liquids with some basic modification. The laboratory FDA has been used to test a series of samples from a large cane sugar manufacturer’s process and these measurements demonstrate that this technology has the potential to be used as a remote optrode industrial process monitor for sucrose manufacture and very possibly, elsewhere in other industrial applications.

<title>HOLOMED: an algorithm for computer-generated holograms</title> (1996)

We use a liquid crystal spatial light modulator to construct a computed wave that would have emanated from a hypothetical object that we mathematically specify. The method uses optimal filter theory and realistic devices. We show laboratory results. The method applies to video holograms and small head-up displays. The method was inspired by work using binary reflective SLMs, and we adapted it to a continuously variable and highly coupled operating curve.
Topology Effects on the Structural and Physicochemical Properties of Polymer Brushes (2017)

The application of polymer “brushes”, with their unique physicochemical properties, has led to a radical change in the way we functionalize biomaterials or formulate hybrids; however, their attractive traits can be largely surpassed by applying different polymer topologies, beyond the simple linear chain. Cyclic and loop brushes provide enhanced steric stabilization, improved biopassivity, and lubrication compared to their linear analogues. Focusing on poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOXA), an emerging polymer in nanobiotechnology, we systematically investigate how topology effects determine the structure of PEOXA brushes and to what extent technologically relevant properties such as protein resistance, nanomechanics, and nanotribology can be tuned by varying brush topology. The highly compact structure of cyclic PEOXA brushes confers an augmented entropic barrier to the surface, efficiently hindering unspecific interactions with biomolecules. Moreover, the intrinsic absence of chain ends at the cyclic-brush interface prevents interdigitation when two identical polymer layers are sheared against each other, dramatically reducing friction. Loop PEOXA brushes present structural and interfacial characteristics that are intermediate between those of linear and cyclic brushes, which can be precisely tuned by varying the relative concentration of loops and tails within the assembly. Such topological control allows biopassivity to be progressively increased and friction to be tuned.
A fault-tolerant MPLS-based control and communication network for the Lucent LambdaRouter (2002)

Recently, the importance of out-of-band signaling has been realized for next-generation intelligent optical transport networks (OTNs). This next-generation OTN will be capable of providing services like real-time point-and-click provisioning of optical channels, automatic protection and restoration, network topology auto-discovery, and bandwidth management. However, for successful deployment and usage of these services, reliability of the out-of-band signaling network, referred to as the control and communication network (CCN), is critical. Specifically, it is desired that the signaling network transparently recover from any single failure events and continue providing communication between OTN nodes. In this paper, we propose a fault-tolerant, scalable, and cost-effective architecture for IP-based control plane of next-generation OTNs. The architecture is based on multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) protocols. The essence is to provide diverse paths in the network so that any failure in the OTN, as well as the control network, can be recovered transparently. These diverse paths employ a packet dual-feed and select mechanism for fast recovery from failures. The architecture requires diverse paths between the neighboring OTN nodes, instead of all-pair of nodes, enabling the control plane to seamlessly scale with the size of the OTN network. Moreover, the architecture allows the control plane topology to be independent of the OTN topology. This gives operators considerable flexibility in the design of the CCN in a cost-effective manner by using virtual private networks (VPNs) through public data networks, or by avoiding unnecessary OTN links. We also present an implementation of the proposed architecture that will be used as the highly reliable IP-based CCN in OTNs consisting of the Lucent LambdaRouter, an optical cross-connect product. Although in this paper the architecture is discussed in the context of providing a highly reliable IP-centric CCN for optical cross-connect-based (OXC-based) OTNs, it can be extended to a general purpose fault-tolerant CCN for any next-generation OTN.3
PERSIST: Physician&#39;s Evaluation of Restasis&reg; Satisfaction in Second Trial of topical cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion 0.05% for dry eye: a retrospective review (2012)

A repeat trial with topical cyclosporine can achieve clinical success. Direct patient education via the physician and staff may be key to success. Proper patient education may overcome adherence issues, particularly with respect to the need for long-term treatment of chronic dry eye. This study has the usual limitations associated with a retrospective chart review, and future prospective studies are warranted.

IBM POWER7 systems (2011)

This paper describes the system architectures and designs of the IBM POWER7® servers. From the smallest single-processor socket blade to the largest 32-processor-socket 256-core enterprise rack server, each system is designed to fully exploit the performance and the scalability of the POWER7 processor. This paper describes the enhancements made to the memory and input/output subsystems to achieve balanced and scalable designs, the changes made to the power and cooling circuitry to manage energy consumption and power dissipation, and the enhancements made to reliability, availability, and serviceability. These enhancements enable the POWER7 processor-based servers to achieve significant increases in the performance density and the performance per watt, as compared with the predecessor POWER6® processor-based servers.

KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDE OF PEOPLE TOWARDS ORGAN DONATION (2011)

ABSTRACT Objective: Study and analyze the knowledge and attitude of people towards organ donation among adult population. Study design: A cross sectional study. Setting and duration: The study was conducted from 1st May 2011 to 30th June 2011 in the Madina Teaching Hospital Faisalabad by interviewing the people visiting the hospital as attendants. Materials and methods: Primary data containing sample size of 200 was collected through convenience sampling. A predesigned close ended questionnaire was used to collect data through face-to-face interaction with people at Madina Teaching Hospital, Faisalabad. For analysis of primary data SPSS version 17 was used. Results: Statistically significant association of knowledge about organ donation with education (p=0.000) and socioeconomic status (p=0.003) was observed. Attitude towards organ donation was significantly associated with age (p=0.017), education (p=0.000) and socioeconomic status (p=0.001). Majority (67.4%) of respondents thought that their religion allows organ donation and it should be promoted. Television (46%) came out as the major source of information. Only 27% knew about any law regulating organ donation. Lack of knowledge was seen among people regarding law for organ donation in Pakistan. 90% thought that organ donation was considered to be ethically correct. None of the respondents was actual donor. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a wide gap in terms of organ donation on the basis of education and socioeconomic status among the sample population. People who can donate seem to be reluctant to donate their organs to those in need (recipient) due to the lack of knowledge and fear of organ being misused. Further people who can donate organ assume that organ donation generally comes from addicts and poor people. Adequate knowledge may change the attitude of people towards organ donation. Multi-sectoral approach (e.g, electronic and print media, religious scholars, doctors and teachers) should be used to promote awareness of organ donation. Further studies are needed to motivate the general population for organ donation.
Seismic-guided estimation of log properties (Part 2: Using artificial neural networks for nonlinear attribute calibration) (1994)

We saw in Part 1 that when we have 3-D data together with a number of logged wells, we can look at possible relationships between some attributes of the seismic data and various properties measured on the logs. At multiple well locations, where we have both seismic and log data, we can look for trends in these two data types on crossplots. If we see a trend, we can quantify it with a derived or specified functional relationship. This functional relationship can be used to convert the attribute values to log properties, and when followed by a residual correction, provide a means to estimate the distribution of these properties away from the wells.
Identification of Substituted 6-Amino-4-phenyltetrahydroquinoline Derivatives:  Potent Antagonists for the Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptor (2004)

Substituted 6-amino-4-phenyl-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives are described that are antagonists for the G(s)-protein-coupled human follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor. These compounds show high antagonistic efficacy in vitro using a CHO cell line expressing the human FSH receptor. Antagonist 10 also showed a submicromolar IC(50) in a more physiologically relevant rat granulosa cell assay and was found to significantly inhibit follicle growth and ovulation in an ex vivo mouse model. This compound class may open the way toward a novel, nonsteroidal approach for contraception.

In Arabidopsis hybrids and Hybrid Mimics, up‐regulation of cell wall biogenesis is associated with the increased plant size (2019)

Hybrid breeding is of economic importance in agriculture for increasing yield, yet the basis of heterosis is not well understood. In Arabidopsis, crosses between different accessions produce hybrids with different levels of heterosis relative to parental phenotypes in biomass. In all hybrids, the advantage of the F1 hybrid in both phenotypic uniformity and yield gain is lost in the heterogeneous F2. F5/F6 Hybrid Mimics generated from a cross between C24 and Landsberg <i>erecta</i> (L<i>er</i>) ecotypes demonstrated that the large plant phenotype of the F1 hybrids can be stabilized. Hybrid Mimic selection was applied to Wassilewskija (Ws)/L<i>er</i> and Col/L<i>er</i> hybrids. The two hybrids show different levels of heterosis. The Col/L<i>er</i> hybrid generated F7 Hybrid Mimics with rosette diameter and fresh weight equivalent to the F1 hybrid at 30 DAS; F7 Ws/L<i>er</i> Hybrid Mimics outperformed the F1 hybrid in both the rosette size and biomass. Transcriptome analysis revealed up-regulation of cell wall biosynthesis, and cell wall expansion genes could be a common pathway in increased size in the Arabidopsis hybrids and Hybrid Mimics. Intercross of two independent Hybrid Mimic lines can further increase the biomass gain. Our results encourage the use of Hybrid Mimics for breeding and for investigating the molecular basis of heterosis.

A Binding Protein for Glutamine and Its Relation to Active Transport in Escherichia coli (1971)

Abstract Escherichia coli contains a binding protein for glutamine which has been isolated by osmotic shock, purified, and characterized. It has a Kd of 3 x 10-7 m and, of the naturally occurring amino acids, only glutamine is bound. The γ-glutamylhydrazide and γ-glutamylhydroxamate competitively inhibit both the binding reaction and the uptake of glutamine by intact cells. The protein exhibits native tryptophan fluorescence with an emission maximum at 336 nm when excited at 280 nm. Addition of 1 µm glutamine specifically causes a spectral shift and quenching of fluorescence. The kinetics of binding have been investigated by following the fluorescence change using a stopped flow apparatus. The k for the forward reaction is 9.8 x 107 m-1 sec-1 and the k for the back reaction is 16 sec-1. The transport of glutamine is also highly specific, with a Km of 0.8 x 10-7 m. A mutant has been isolated which has a 3-fold higher initial rate of transport and 3.0 times more binding protein than the parent strain. Other mutants, resistant to γ-glutamylhydrazide, have been isolated which have only 10% of the initial rate of transport and about 10% of the binding protein. These data suggest a role for the glutamine binding protein in active transport. Furthermore, growth in a rich medium represses both transport and the formation of binding protein. Additional evidence is provided by the fact that the initial rate of glutamine uptake is reduced 90% by osmotic shock while certain other transport systems are maintained, and this is associated with release of the glutamine binding protein.

[Allergic fungal sinusitis: is this rare disease an allergy or infection?]. (1996)

Allergic Fungal Sinusitis (AFS) is a newly recognized form of benign, non invasive sinusitis the histopathologic features of which are similar to those of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. AFS is a rare condition. However, because treatment and prognosis vary widely, it is important that this disorder be recognized and differentiated from chronic bacterial sinusitis and other forms of fungal sinusitis. AFS does not discriminate by age although it is primarily found in young adults. AFS patients are usually atopic, often having a history of asthma and nasal polyposis. Many have suffered from the symptoms of chronic sinusitis for years while others have had multiple sinus surgery. Radiographs reveal the involvement of multiple sinuses, often with bone destruction. Laboratory findings support an allergic state with a marked increase in eosinophilia and total IgE. At times RAST testing proves positive for fungi and immediate cutaneous reactivity to fungi is also present. Histologic review of the sinus contents reveals characteristic "allergic mucin", with numerous eosinophiles, Charcot-Leyden crystals and fungal hyphae, without any fungi tissue invasion. A wide variety of fungal agents has been implicated, although the majority belong the Dematiacee family. Those patients with allergic mucin but no documented fungi are indicated as having AFS-like syndrome. The pathogenesis of AFS is uncertain. There is controversy in the literature as to what role hypersensitivity (Gell and Coombs type I and type III responses) in infection play. To date current therapeutic recommendations include complete exenteration of all allergic mucin. Adjunctive, short-term systemic steroids often prove useful and nasal steroid spray should be continued for long term. Systemic antifungal agents are not recommended in AFS. Recurrence is common and thus close clinical, endoscopic and radiographic follow-up is important. The clinicopathologic features of one patient with AFS are reported and etiopathogenetic problems are discussed. The presented case showed a positive culture with negative immunological testing (RAST-positive and immediate cutaneous reactivity to fungal antigen), thus confirming the pathogenetic hypothesis of the saprophytic fungal growth in an atopic patient.
Information Retrieval by Inferring Implicit Queries from Eye Movements (2007)

We introduce a new search strategy, in which the information retrieval (IR) query is inferred from eye movements measured when the user is reading text during an IR task. In training phase, we know the users ’ interest. We learn a predictor which links eye movements related to a term to the role of that term in the query. Assuming this predictor is universal with respect to the users ’ interests, it can also be applied to infer the implicit query when we have no prior knowledge of the users ’ interests. The result of an empirical study is that it is possible to learn the implicit query from a small set of read documents, such that relevance predictions for a large set of unseen documents are ranked significantly better than by random guessing. 1
