“dah you is, settin’ down, lookin’ jis’ like w’ite folks!” Ethnicity Enacted in Kate Chopin’s Short Fiction (1997)

The cultural norms which are established, inscribed and valorised in Kate Chopin’s earliest stories are those of a Europe which is populated by people who are artistically sensitive, gifted and well-educated, some of whom have found their way to America, or, to be more specific, to Louisiana or into the Creole community of St Louis. This elite, featured in stories like ‘Wiser than a God’, published in the Philadelphia Musical Journal, and ‘With the Violin’, published in the St Louis Post-Dispatch,1 both in 1889, comes endowed with values which are transcendent in the formation of the larger culture of the New World. The dedication of Paula Von Stoltz to her piano, or the proof of access of even such lowly working men as Papa Konrad to the finest music, makes the point that the higher things are derived from Europe and that such foreignness is positive, aesthetically sophisticated, civilised and civilising. As a result of this, however, those who do not derive from European society, that is, the enslaved, have no right of access to the values intrinsic in all things from the old country(ies) of the white population. So these early stories, at times awkwardly written with the stilted, self-conscious language which is typical of Chopin when not quite at her ease with her material, nevertheless set the tone, more than the tone, set the social structure within which her fiction operates.
Augmented Reality may be the killer application for Context Awareness (2010)

In this paper we describe the achievement of a Context Aware platform capable of collecting contextual user data and also information about users' surrounding context such as relevant Point of Interests. We also analyze the complexity of exploiting a large amount of collected data through a proper interactive system without affecting applications' usability and avoiding information overload. We finally detail the achievement of an Augmented reality user interface which serves as pedestrian navigator towards context aware Point of Interests.
The Laplace Transform Finite Difference (LTFD) Numerical Method for the Simulation of Compressible Liquid Flow in Reservoirs (1994)

SUMMARY A new numerical method, the Laplace Transform Finite Difference (LTFD) method, was developed for the simulation of single-phase compressible liquid flow through porous media. The major advantage of LTFD is that it eliminates time dependency, the need for time discretization, and the problems stemming from the treatment of the time derivative in the flow equation by employing a Laplace transform formulation. The LTFD method yields a solution semi-analytical in time and numerical in space, and renders the effects of the time derivative on accuracy and stability irrelevant because time is no longer a consideration. The method was tested against results from three test cases obtained from a standard Finite Difference (FD) simulator, as well as from analytical models. For a single timestep, LTFD requires an execution time 6 to 10 times longer than the analogous FD requirement without an increase in storage. However, this disadvantage is outweighed by the fact that LTFD allows an unlimited timestep size. Execution times may be reduced by orders of magnitude because calculations are necessary only at the desired observation times, while in a standard FD method calculations are needed at all the intermediate times of the discretized time domain. Thus, FD may require several hundred timesteps and matrix inversions to reach the desired solution time, but LTFD requires only one timestep and no more than 6 to 10 matrix inversions. Moreover, LTFD yields a stable, non-increasing material balance error in addition to a more accurate solution than FD.
Research on Secure Scalar Product Protocol and Its' Application (2010)

Secure scalar product protocol is an important fundamental protocol in secure multi-party computation. Serving as a basic building block for many other secure protocols, it is widely used in data mining, statistical analysis and scientific computation. Based on additive homomorphism public key cryptosystem, we develop a new secure scalar product protocol under semi-honest model with low communication complexity which is easy to implement and understanding. Furthermore, we firstly apply it to position relationship decision for privacy preserving space vectors.
Path-delay fault simulation for a standard scan design methodology (1994)

In spite of using scan designs, there remain serious problems concerning the generation and confirmation of test vectors for potential timing problems. Most of the available test generators and the only fault simulators reported for path-delay faults in scan designs rely upon the use of augmented scan flip-flops to convert the timing vector problem to a purely combinational one. This paper describes a path-delay fault simulator for standard scan environments, based on the parallel-pattern-single-fault-propagation technique.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A Data-driven Assessment Model for Information Systems Security Risk Management (2012)

In this paper, a data-driven assessment model for information systems security risk management is proposed based on the knowledge from observed cases and domain experts. In the model, genetic algorithm is applied to search the rules of security risk identification based on historical data. For identifying the causal relationships of risk factors and predict the occurrence probability of security risk, a Bayesian network (BN) is developed. Structure learning and parameter learning are utilized to integrate the database of observed cases with domain expert experience in the development of the BN. The significance of the work is that the model provides more objective and visible support for security risk assessment in the information systems.
Considerations in order picking zone configuration (2002)

In today’s competitive global economy, the focus is on faster delivery of small more frequent orders of inventory at a lower total cost. This often precludes the use of full pallet picking in warehouses so firms commonly use manual picking of cases and broken‐cases. Many firms increase the efficiency of their warehouses by using zone picking. Zone picking requires that a worker only pick those stock‐keeping units (SKUs) stored within their picking zone. In this paper we examine the configuration or shape of these picking zones by simulating a bin‐shelving warehouse to measure picker travel where SKUs are assigned storage locations either using random or volume‐based storage. The results show that the size or storage capacity of the zone, the number of items on the pick list, and the storage policy have a significant effect on picking zone configuration. In addition, we found that the absence of a back cross aisle also affected picking zone configuration. These results offer solutions to managers looking to implement improvements in distribution center operations.

Basal Insulin Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes (2001)

In patients with type 2 diabetes, once-daily bedtime insulin glargine is as effective as once- or twice-daily NPH in improving and maintaining glycemic control. In addition, insulin glargine deonstrates a lower risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia and less weight gain compared with NPH insulin.
Private Virtual Infrastructure for Cloud Computing (2009)

Cloud computing places an organization’s sensitive data in the control of a third party, introducing a significant level of risk on the privacy and security of the data. We propose a new management and security model for cloud computing called the Private Virtual Infrastructure (PVI) that shares the responsibility of security in cloud computing between the service provider and client, decreasing the risk exposure to both. The PVI datacenter is under control of the information owner while the cloud fabric is under control of the service provider. A cloud Locator Bot pre-measures the cloud for security properties, securely provisions the datacenter in the cloud, and provides situational awareness through continuous monitoring of the cloud security. PVI and Locator Bot provide the tools that organizations require to maintain control of their information in the cloud and realize the benefits of cloud computing.
GLUT-4 phosphorylation and its intrinsic activity. Mechanism of Ca(2+)-induced inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose transport. (1993)

In this study, we examined the influence of high levels of cytosolic calcium on phosphorylation status and function of GLUT-4 in isolated rat adipocytes. Intracellular calcium was elevated by exposing adipocytes to either extracellular ATP (1.6 mM) or thapsigargin (100 nM). Both agents increased cytosolic calcium 2-3 fold. While basal glucose uptake was unaffected, both ATP and thapsigargin reduced insulin-stimulated glucose transport by 40-70% (p < 0.05). Neither ATP nor thapsigargin affected GLUT-4 content or its translocation from the low density microsomes to the plasma membrane (PM). In contrast, GLUT-4 immunoprecipitated from the PM of adipocytes exposed to either ATP or thapsigargin was phosphorylated to a greater extent than the GLUT-4 isolated from control cells. ATP and thapsigargin also abolished insulin-stimulated dephosphorylation of GLUT-4. At the same time, GLUT-4 intrinsic activity was significantly reduced in adipocytes with high levels of cytosolic calcium (p < 0.05). Preincubation of adipocytes with cAMP antagonist, RpcAMP (10(-4) M), and calcium channel blocker, nitrendipine (30 microM), improved the ability of insulin to dephosphorylate GLUT-4 and restored insulin-stimulated GLUT-4 intrinsic activity. We conclude that elevated levels of cytosolic calcium interfere with insulin's ability to dephosphorylate GLUT-4, thus reducing its intrinsic activity.

A NEW COMPONENT IN PROTEIN FLUORESCENCE* (1981)

Tryptophyl residues in proteins absorb at longer wavelengths than tyrosyl residues, thus the tryptophyl fluorescence can be selectively excited. In addition, tryptophyl residues have a fluorescence maximum at much longer wavelengths than tyrosyl residues and are the predominant source of fluorescence in the long-wavelength region. The contribution of tyrosyl fluorescence to protein fluorescence can be determined by exploiting these spectral properties. The fluorescence of the tyrosyl residues in native human serum albumin is different from the fluorescence of N-acetyl-L-tyrosinamide; the spectral maximum is at a longer wavelength, and the spectral width is greater. This difference is caused by a second component with a maximum at 345 nm. The excitation spectrum of the 345-nm component is similar to that of the normal 304-nm tyrosyl component. The 345-nm component is largely absent from denatured serum albumin. An excited singlet state protolysis from the buried tyrosyl residues explains the appearance of the 345-nm component. A possible acceptor base is an amino group of buried lysyl residue.
EFFECT OF PHOSPHORUS IN DOMESTIC DETERGENT ON THE SCENEDESMUS OBLIQUUS (2003)

By using indoor biological simulation test (an auxiliary means to determine environmental parameters), effects of different phosphorous in four domestic detergents on S.obliquus Ktz growth were examined to judge the phosphorous ban measure. Phosphoric concentrations of the tested detergents were between 0.05 and 5.0 mg/L according to the monitoring data of D watershed which is drinking water source for Shenzhen City,China S.obliquus Ktz growth tests were conducted in an environment with sole phosphorous of detergents. The results showed that domestic detergents of various types significantly promoted the growth of S.obliquus. Algal density exceeded the universal state and international standards of 7.5?05-1.0?06 ind/L for eutrophication assessment. Under the conditions of daily ordinary consumption of high P washing powder, the biomass of algal would be up to 6.2?09 ind/L, almost 60%higher than than the algel biomass while using low P washing liquid. During the whole experiment,The growth rate of S.obliquus in the contrast group of non-phosphorus never exceeded the experimental group Contaring highlevel phosphorus. As a basic element necessary for S.obliquus growth, the increase of phosphorus can result in the increase in S.obliquus density. algal potential growth would be great with P existence. Therefore, limit the input of phosphorus from detergents, reducing the nutrient supply, lowing the nutrient concentration of water,can help to control the eutrophication of waterbodies. &nbsp;
Polyaniline/PVAc blends: Variation with time of structure and conductivity of films cast from aqueous dispersions (2001)

Recently, a polymerization process of Anilinium-Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid (DBSA) complex in an aqueous dispersion was developed in our laboratories. Simple mechanical mixing of the aqueous PANI–DBSA dispersion with a PVAc aqueous latex leads to highly conductive blends at low PANI–DBSA contents. The percolation threshold of the dried films is extremely low (∼0.5 wt %). The combined aqueous PVAc/PANI–DBSA dispersions exhibit a gradually decreasing electrical conductivity accompanied by a gradually increasing viscosity, with the storage time. However, an aged cast film from these blends maintains its electrical conductivity with time. These phenomena are associated with acidic hydrolytic reactions of the ester group, resulting in the formation of vinyl acetate–vinyl alcohol copolymer and evolution of acetic acid, and also the interaction of the DBSA surfactant with the PVAc, causing swelling and disintegration of PVAc particles. A chemical structural model describing these changes with storage time is suggested. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 79: 760–766, 2001

A Novel Fluorescent Protein-Based Biosensor for Gram-Negative Bacteria (2002)

Site-directed mutagenesis of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) based on rational computational design was performed to create a fluorescence-based biosensor for endotoxin and gram-negative bacteria. EGFP mutants (EGFP(i)) bearing one (G10) or two (G12) strands of endotoxin binding motifs were constructed and expressed in an Escherichia coli host. The EGFP(i) proteins were purified and tested for their efficacy as a novel fluorescent biosensor. After efficient removal of lipopolysaccharide from the E. coli lysates, the binding affinities of the EGFP(i) G10 and G12 to lipid A were established. The K(D) values of 7.16 x 10(-7) M for G10 and 8.15 x 10(-8) M for G12 were achieved. With high affinity being maintained over a wide range of pH and ionic strength, the binding of lipid A/lipopolysaccharide to the EGFP(i) biosensors could be measured as a concentration-dependent fluorescence quenching of the EGFP mutants. The EGFP(i) specifically tagged gram-negative bacteria like E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as other gram-negative bacteria in contaminated water sampled from the environment. This dual function of the EGFP(i) in detecting both free endotoxin and live gram-negative bacteria forms the basis of the development of a novel fluorescent biosensor.
Equipment and Methods for Cryogenic Thermal Insulation Testing (2004)

The study and evaluation of cryogenic thermal insulation materials and systems is a technology focus area of the Cryogenics Testbed at NASA Kennedy Space Center. The liquid nitrogen evaporation method is used between boundary temperatures of about 300 kelvin (K) and 77 K to make accurate measurements of the heat transfer rates and apparent thermal conductivity values (k‐values) through different insulation systems. The methods include thermal performance characterization over the full range of pressures from high vacuum to no vacuum. Innovations include the design and development of three types of research test cryostats. The novel cryostats include absolute k‐value for cylindrical specimens, comparative k‐value for cylindrical specimens, and comparative k‐value for flat specimens (including compressive loading). The material specimens may be in forms such as bulk fill, flat panel, multilayer, or continuously rolled. These new test methods are shown to be complementary to other established test methods.
Moving Beyond Adsorption Capacity in Design of Adsorbents for CO<sub>2</sub> Capture from Ultradilute Feeds: Kinetics of CO<sub>2</sub> Adsorption in Materials with Stepped Isotherms (2018)

Amine-functionalized metal organic frameworks (MOFs) such as Mg2(dobpdc) have shown some of the highest capacities for CO2 capture under simulated direct air capture (DAC) conditions, i.e., at a CO2 partial pressure at 0.4 mbar. The most widely studied materials of this kind have adsorption isotherms whose shape is controlled by the material's underlying cooperative adsorption mechanism for CO2. Previous analyses of these materials, however, have focused primarily on equilibrium adsorption. Here, we study adsorption of CO2 in amine-functionalized MOFs under ultradilute conditions relevant to DAC using a packed bed breakthrough system to understand the challenges of using these materials in practical separations. By examining the effects of flow rate, temperature, and CO2 concentration on the observed breakthrough profiles, we show how the isotherm shape, mass transfer resistances and adsorption/desorption kinetics impact the system's performance. An empirical model for the packed bed that accounts for the cooperative reaction mechanism for adsorption of CO2 in N,N′-dimethyl ethylene diamine (MMEN)–Mg2(dobpdc) is developed. The kinetics of CO2 adsorption at CO2 concentrations of 400 ppm are characterized through an Avrami model, while at higher CO2 concentrations, a kinetic model based on a Michaelis–Menten expression is more successful. It is also suggested that, at low concentrations, mass transfer rate is limited by cooperative insertion of CO2. Overall, this work has identified the system performance (i.e., rate of CO2 extraction, CO2 capture fraction, and breakthrough curve types) for different feed concentrations of CO2. Critically, this work shows that the use of materials with stepped isotherm for applications such as DAC has some fundamental challenges that cannot be addressed by efforts that focus solely on modifying the overall equilibrium adsorption capacity or swing capacity.
Optimal design of GMV self-tuning controllers (1989)

A design algorithm for generalized minimum variance (GMV) self-tuning controllers is presented. The weighting polynomials associated with the control cost function are defined by minimizing a newly proposed index which measures the stochastic variances of system input and output signals and violation of dominant closed-loop pole pair from the desired sampling lines in the Z-plane. To obtain the desired control performance, a corresponding constraint is introduced which restricts the closed-loop poles within a permissible region specified by some qualitative engineering criteria instead of using the conventional pole-assignment method to fix the poles to prespecified locations. A nonlinear programming method is utilized to accomplish the constrained minimization. The validity of the proposed algorithm and effectiveness of the GMV controller based on it are illustrated in some representative examples.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A work service model of the ubiquitous environment for collaboration (2012)

Office environments have recently adopted ubiquitous computing for collaboration and mobile communication to promote real-time enterprises. Ubiquitous offices, introduced by Weiser and adopted as emerging computational technology to support office works, have already affected the practice of companies and organizations. Within this context, this study deals with a work service model of the ubiquitous office environments by understanding human behaviors and works in their workspace. We propose a ubiquitous office model considering the correlation between ubiquitous computing technologies and work services in the office. Two attributes are emphasized, collaboration and mobility, as identifiers for categorizing the work types. The types of work services have variations in the amount of communication and the proportion of working outside of the office. The proposed work service model of the ubiquitous office includes territorial and non-territorial services to enable workers in and out of the office to interact with each other effectively. The findings in this paper would be a theoretical basis for embodying an intelligent office which supports office works efficiently.
