Charting a course for software licensing and distribution (2010)

Software licensing and distribution poses many opportunities for cost savings while delivering a greater ability for students and employees to use cost-effective, leading edge technology to accomplish their tasks. Using available licensing programs from major publishers can be difficult because of the contractual commitments and often misunderstood complexities of those programs. Each publisher has its own licensing criteria for obtaining products. Product support must be considered when acquiring any title for campus-wide use. Educational institutions will often embrace open source software to overcome these obstacles. While that is a possible solution, commercial software products are often a better choice. West Virginia University embarked upon a centralized approach for widely used commercial software in 2002. The program has evolved to providing products from several publishers. The campus-wide distribution of software uses a combination of cost recovery and centralized funding. Students and employees can purchase products at significant savings for personal use. Institutional users can easily obtain the tools to prepare their course material and share those same tools with their students. Software licensing involves several entities within the institution such as the legal department, procurement, network administration, customer support, academic affairs, student affairs, information security, and information technology. With that in mind, let's explore how you can develop your software licensing and distribution program so that it becomes a key component for driving cost containment, integrates product use standards, and provides long-term organizational benefits.
Continuous Muscle Tissue Oxygenation in Critically Injured Patients: A Prospective Observational Study (2006)

PmO2 is a responsive, reliable and continuous monitor of changes in base deficit. Initial low values for either PmO2 or StO2 were associated with post-injury complications. PmO2 monitoring may be useful in identifying patients in the state of occult underresuscitation who remain at risk for developing infection and MOF.
Phase-Lock Requirements in a Serial Array of Spin Transfer Nano-Oscillators (2015)

The most promising approach to attain a narrow linewidth and a large output power simultaneously in spin torque oscillators is self-phase-locking of an array of oscillators. Two long range coupling mechanisms, magnetostatic interaction and self-induced current, are explored. Synchronization occurs with MR ratio ~ 14% and volume ~ 2.1 × 10(-5) μm(3) at room temperature for an experimental frequency dispersion, when only the self-induced microwave current is present. The dipole interaction decreases the MR ratio requirement when the elements are properly spaced.
Formation of van der Waals Molecules in Buffer-Gas-Cooled Magnetic Traps (2010)

We predict that a large class of helium-containing cold polar molecules form readily in a cryogenic buffer gas, achieving densities as high as 10(12) cm(-3). We explore the spin relaxation of these molecules in buffer-gas-loaded magnetic traps and identify a loss mechanism based on Landau-Zener transitions arising from the anisotropic hyperfine interaction. Our results show that the recently observed strong T(-6) thermal dependence of the spin-change rate of silver (Ag) trapped in dense (3)He is accounted for by the formation and spin change of Ag(3)He van der Waals molecules, thus providing indirect evidence for molecular formation in a buffer-gas trap.
Pollutant Removal from Wood and Coal Flue Gases by Soil Treatment (1982)

If many homeowners convert to solid fuels for heating, residential flue gases will be a large source of air pollution. Control of this pollution requires an inexpensive, reliable, and effective method of flue gas treatment. One such method is to force flue gases through soil beds. Such soil treatment removes all detectable smoke, odor, and polynuclear organic matter (POM), up to 97% of the CO, and at least 97% of the SO2 from flue gases of wood and coal combustion. The technique is low cost, reliable, almost maintenance-free, and also appears suitable for other small point sources of air pollution.
Fast and efficient solar incremental conductance MPPT using lock-in amplifier (2015)

Peak energy harvesting in Photovoltaic (PV) systems requires fast and effective Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) detection. Incremental Conductance (InCond) MPPT is one of the most popular detection methods, given its simple implementation and accuracy. In this paper, a new InCond technique is proposed based on small-signal identification and adaptive-step using a Lock-In Amplifier (LIA). The use of small-signal identification virtually eliminates the losses typically encountered in traditional large-signal MPPT perturbations. This feature improves the steady-state efficiency, while the LIA allows for robust and accurate measurement of the equivalent AC resistance to achieve maximum power extraction, even in the presence of noise. The proposed algorithm enables fast tracking during both static and changing environmental conditions, as well as smooth operation in steady-state. The proposed implementation reduces the adaptive-step InCond to a simple Discrete-Time Integral Controller, simplifying its analysis and configuration. Overall, the proposed implementation delivers superior results with similar hardware both during transients and in steady state. Simulations and experimental results are provided to validate the proposed implementation, and to illustrate its behavior in steady and transient operations.
Segmentation of liver in ultrasonic images applying local optimal threshold method (2012)

Low brightness contrast and grey level discontinuities of the ultrasonic liver image make it difficult to segment the object and the background and to extract the edges of the object using the global optimal threshold method. In this paper, we investigate a local optimal threshold method for the segmentation of ultrasound liver image. First of all, the distributed energy of the ultrasound liver image is estimated in the proposed liver segmentation. Then, the polynomials are fitted from the distributed energy data and a peak zone is defined from the minimum of the fitted polynomials. Finally, a few blocked images are divided from the number of the peak zones. Furthermore, multiple local optimal thresholds are obtained from the blocked images using Otsu's method, and the ultrasonic liver image is segmented according to all local optimal thresholds. Experimental results validate the segmentation and edge detection of liver in the ultrasound images.
Chronic sensory and autonomic neuropathy (1983)

A man with sensory neuropathy had evidence of autonomic failure: abnormal pupils, hypohidrosis, esophageal dilation, diarrhea, hypotension, orthostatic hypotension, sphincter disturbance, and impotence. Functional tests revealed abnormalities of both sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, mainly postganglionic. Autopsy revealed degeneration of posterior columns, posterior nerve roots, posterior root ganglia, and peripheral nerves. Degeneration was also observed in the sympathetic trunk, vagal nerve, and myenteric plexus. Neurons in the intermediolateral columns were preserved. Progressive sensory neuropathy with dysautonomia seems to be a new disease.
Proactive power-aware cache management for mobile computing systems (2002)

Recent work has shown that invalidation report (IR)-based cache management is an attractive approach for mobile environments. However, the IR-based cache invalidation solution has some limitations, such as long query delay, low bandwidth utilization, and it is not suitable for applications where data change frequently. In this paper, we propose a proactive cache management scheme to address these issues. Instead of passively waiting, the clients intelligently prefetch the data that are most likely used in the future. Based on a novel prefetch-access ratio concept, the proposed scheme can dynamically optimize performance or power based on the available resources and the performance requirements. To deal with frequently updated data, different techniques (indexing and caching) are applied to handle different components of the data based on their update frequency. Detailed simulation experiments are carried out to evaluate the proposed methodology. Compared to previous schemes, our solution not only improves the cache hit ratio, the throughput, and the bandwidth utilization, but also reduces the query delay and the power consumption.
A Kalman filter approach to dynamic OD flow estimation for urban road networks using multi‐sensor data (2014)

Summary Considerable efforts have been devoted to the development of dynamic origin‐destination (OD) estimation models, which are a key step to realizing self‐adaptive traffic control systems for urban traffic management. However, most of the models proposed to date estimate OD flows based on a single traffic data source, and their performance is limited by the coverage and accuracy of traffic sensors. The inherent difficulty in estimating the dynamic traffic assignment matrix means that dynamic OD estimation remains a challenge for real‐life applications. This paper proposes the use of a Kalman filter for dynamic OD estimation using multi‐source sensor data. The dynamic characteristic of changing OD flow over time is analyzed, and the problem of dynamic OD estimation is converted to a problem of estimating OD structural deviation. The resulting dynamic relationship between traffic volume and OD structural deviation is then used to establish the Kalman filter model. An improved traffic assignment approach is developed and embedded into the measurement equation of the Kalman filter model to enable dynamic updating of the traffic assignment matrix. A dual self‐adaptive mechanism based on the Kalman filter is used to calibrate the model. The proposed method was implemented on a real‐life traffic network in the downtown area of Kunshan City, China. The results show that the proposed method is more accurate than, and outperforms, the traditional link‐volume‐based and turning‐movement‐based methods. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
2′,3′-Dideoxyinosine in Patients with AIDS or AIDS-Related Complex (1990)

Twenty-one patients with AIDS or AIDS-related complex (ARC) received 2',3'-dideoxyinosine (didanosine; ddI) intravenously and then orally (initial dosages of 0.4 mg/kg and 0.8 mg/kg every 12 hours, respectively) for 6-44 weeks in an escalating-dose study. The major dose-limiting effects were peripheral neuropathy (three patients) and pancreatitis (two patients), which were observed at dosages greater than or equal to 20 mg/(kg.d). Hyperuricemia occurred at greater than or equal to 30 mg/(kg.d). No hematologic toxicity developed except for possible sporadic thrombocytopenia (two patients). Significant decreases in serum levels of p24 antigen and increases in CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes were noted at 2, 6, and 10-20 weeks and over a wide range of dosages, including the lowest given. Most patients had an increased feeling of well-being and/or a weight gain of greater than or equal to 2 kg at 6 weeks. For this population, ddI has promise as a therapeutic agent, thus warranting further study of this agent in controlled clinical trials.
SIPRAD: A Radiotherapy Planning System (RTPS) (2018)

Cancer is one type of lethal disease that needs an immediate diagnosis and treatment, demanding the use of advanced technologies. External Radiotherapy is the most common treatment used in the world. Radiotherapy Planning Systems (RTPS) is a software suite used for delineation of organs and calculation of irradiation doses and is essential to ensure the accuracy of oncologic treatment in clinics and hospitals. This works presents a type of RTPS, named SIPRAD, developed for public hospitals reality in Brazil with the assistance of the doctors. SIPRAD architecture uses a number of management and operational tools for all radiotherapy treatment process. One of the main contributions of this work is its interoperable infrastructure capable of communicating with all health systems and devices. Another contribution is a drawing tool, which is able to perform an automatic contour delineation in organs at risk and tumors volumes. Additionally also extends the use of tomography slices in grayscale images applied in three plans: axial, coronal and sagittal. SIPRAD automatic contour delineation saves up 75% of the time for drawings in three different types of regions body exams. Finally, SIPRAD was tested in a set of oncologic exams provided by the University of São Paulo Clinical Hospital (HCRP and HC-USP) in Brazil obtained from patients with different conditions of ethnology, ages, tumor severities and body regions.

Ultrasonic improvement of rheological behavior of polystyrene (2002)

Abstract The effects of ultrasonic oscillation on die pressure, productivity of extrusion, melt viscosity, and melt oscillating flow of polystyrene (PS) as well as their mechanism were studied in a special ultrasonic oscillations extrusion system developed in our lab. The experimental results show that in the presence of ultrasonic oscillations, the PS melt oscillating flow or surface distortion of PS extrudate is inhibited or disappears. The surface appearance of PS extrudate gets greatly improved. The die pressure, melt viscosity, flow activation energy, and consistency efficiency of PS decreased and the productivity of PS extrudate increased in the presence of ultrasonic oscillation. The shear sensitivity of PS melt viscosity is decreased because of the increase of its power law index in the presence of ultrasonic oscillation. Introduction of ultrasonic oscillation into PS melt can greatly improve the processibility of PS. Their possible mechanism is also proposed in this article. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Evaluation of the interrupter technique in healthy, unsedated infants (2001)

The interrupter technique may be used to monitor respiratory resistance and does not require active patient cooperation, but has yet to be applied in unsedated, spontaneously breathing infants. The aim of this study was to determine if the interrupter technique is feasible in spontaneously breathing infants and to investigate the influence of facemask types and analysis techniques on the interrupter resistance (Rint). Rint was measured in 14 healthy, unsedated, sleeping infants (aged 38.4 (31-56) days (mean (range)). Paired measurements were made using large volume, compliant (Mcomp) and small volume, rigid (Mrigid) facemasks. Flow and pressure were measured at the airway opening prior to- and following a brief airway occlusion (500 ms). Rint was calculated using four previously reported analysis techniques. Rint could be measured in all infants. Mcomp, independent of the analysis method significantly underestimated Rint (p<0.001). The variability and magnitude of Rint were significantly influenced by the choice of analysis method. The conclusion is that the interrupter technique is feasible in spontaneously breathing, unsedated infants. Equipment design and analysis method significantly influences interrupter resistance. Studies standardizing equipment and identifying the most appropriate analysis technique in this age group are needed.
Dislocation-Free Czochralski Silicon Crystal Growth without the Dislocation-Elimination-Necking Process (1999)

Dislocation-free silicon crystals have been grown successfully from heavily-boron-doped silicon melts by the Czochralski method without the dislocation-elimination-necking process (Dash neck). A dislocation-free silicon seed of <001> orientation with a boron concentration of about 4×10 19 atoms/cm 3 was used to grow a silicon crystal with the same boron concentration. No dislocation was generated in the seed during the dipping process, and no misfit dislocation occurred in the grown crystal. These results show that shoulder and body growth can be started immediately after the seeding process.
HoloPair (2017)

Augmented Reality (AR) devices continuously scan their environment in order to naturally overlay virtual objects onto user's view of the physical world. In contrast to Virtual Reality, where one's environment is fully replaced with a virtual one, one of AR's "killer features" is co-located collaboration, in which multiple users interact with the same combination of virtual and real objects. Microsoft recently released HoloLens, the first consumer-ready augmented reality headset that needs no outside markers to achieve precise inside-out spatial mapping, which allows centimeter-scale hologram positioning.
Modeling and identification of parallel nonlinear systems: structural classification and parameter estimation methods (1995)

Structural classification and parameter estimation (SCPE) methods are used for studying single-input single-output (SISO) parallel linear-nonlinear-linear (LNL), linear-nonlinear (LN), and nonlinear-linear (NL) system models from input-output (I-O) measurements. The uniqueness of the I-O mappings of some model structures is discussed. The uniqueness of I-O mappings of different models tells us in what conditions given model structures can be differentiated from one another. Parameter uniqueness of the I-O mapping of a given structural model is also discussed, which tells us in what conditions a given model's parameters can be uniquely estimated from I-O measurements. These methods are then generalized so that they can be used to study single-input multi-output (SIMO), multi-input single-output (MISO), as well as multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear system models. Parameter estimation of the two-input single-output nonlinear system model, which was left unsolved previously, can now be obtained using the newly derived algorithms. Applications of SCPE methods for modeling visual cortical neurons, system fault detection, modeling and identification of communication networks, biological systems, and natural and artificial neural networks are also discussed. The feasibility of these methods is demonstrated using simulated examples. SCPE methods presented in this paper can be further developed to study more complicated block-structured models, and will therefore have future potential for modeling and identifying highly complex multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Cooperative Heparin-Mediated Oligomerization of Fibroblast Growth Factor-1 (FGF1) Precedes Recruitment of FGFR2 to Ternary Complexes (2013)

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) utilize cell surface heparan sulfate as a coreceptor in the assembly of signaling complexes with FGF-receptors on the plasma membrane. Here we undertake a complete thermodynamic characterization of the assembly of the FGF signaling complex using isothermal titration calorimetry. Heparin fragments of defined length are used as chemical analogs of the sulfated domains of heparan sulfate and examined for their ability to oligomerize FGF1. Binding is modeled using the McGhee-von Hippel formalism for the cooperative binding of ligands to a monodimensional lattice. Oligomerization of FGFs on heparin is shown to be mediated by positive cooperativity (α = 6). Heparin octasaccharide is the shortest length capable of dimerizing FGF1 and on longer heparin chains FGF1 binds with a minimal footprint of 4.2 saccharide units. The thermodynamics and stoichiometry of the ternary complex suggest that in solution FGF1 binds to heparin in a trans-dimeric manner before FGFR recruitment.
