Learning Representations from EEG with Deep Recurrent-Convolutional Neural Networks (2015)

One of the challenges in modeling cognitive events from electroencephalogram (EEG) data is finding representations that are invariant to inter- and intra-subject differences, as well as to inherent noise associated with such data. Herein, we propose a novel approach for learning such representations from multi-channel EEG time-series, and demonstrate its advantages in the context of mental load classification task. First, we transform EEG activities into a sequence of topology-preserving multi-spectral images, as opposed to standard EEG analysis techniques that ignore such spatial information. Next, we train a deep recurrent-convolutional network inspired by state-of-the-art video classification to learn robust representations from the sequence of images. The proposed approach is designed to preserve the spatial, spectral, and temporal structure of EEG which leads to finding features that are less sensitive to variations and distortions within each dimension. Empirical evaluation on the cognitive load classification task demonstrated significant improvements in classification accuracy over current state-of-the-art approaches in this field.
A Web-enabled plagiarism detection tool (2004)

The Internet and the World Wide Web have revolutionized information sharing and searching; it is difficult to remember what academic research was like without it, or how we could possibly live without it again. It is an awesomely powerful resource, and therein lays the rub. We're talking about academic dishonesty. In particular we're talking about plagiarism, or passing off another person's work as your own. This is clearly a big problem for universities and schools, but it is not just an educational problem. The publishing industry, and periodical publications in particular, face the same issues. This paper presents several Web-based tools that can be used to detect plagiarism.
Gran: Model Checking Grsecurity RBAC Policies (2012)

Role-based Access Control (RBAC) is one of the most widespread security mechanisms in use today. Given the growing complexity of policy languages and access control systems, verifying that such systems enforce the desired invariants is recognized as a security problem of crucial importance. In the present paper, we develop a framework for the formal verification of grsecurity, an access control system developed on top of Unix/Linux systems. The verification problem in grsecurity presents much of the complexity of modern RBAC systems, due to the presence of policy state changes that may arise both from explicit administrative primitives supported by grsecurity, and as the result of the interaction with the underlying operating system facilities. We develop a formal semantics for grsecurity's RBAC system, based on a labelled transition system, and a sound abstraction of that semantics providing a bounded approximation, amenable to model checking. We report on the result of the experimental analysis conducted with gran, the model checker we implemented based on our abstract semantics, on existing public servers running grsecurity to implement their RBAC systems.
Immunohistochemical localization of PDGF B, PDGF beta receptors and IGF I receptors during atherogenesis. (1994)

Growth factors and their receptors may be involved in initiation and progression of atherosclerotic intima changes. In this study, sections of human arteries in different stages of atherosclerosis were investigated for cellular expression of PDGF B, PDGF beta receptors and IGF I receptors. The applied immunohistochemical approach detected IGF I receptor synthesis in endothelial cells of atherosclerotic vessels. A possible role in atherogenesis may be seen in the control of IGF I transfer into subendothelial tissues. PDGF B chain production was observed in endothelial cells and macrophages in all stages of lesion development. The corresponding receptor for PDGF B (PDGF beta receptor) was expressed by transformed smooth muscle cells within the thickened intima from the stage of macrophage infiltration onwards. These results support the thesis that locally produced PDGF acts as a mitogen on smooth muscle cells and may promote proliferation during atherogenesis.
<title>Stitching interferometry: side effects and PSD</title> (1999)

Stitching Interferometry is rapidly emerging as an alternative to Standard Interferometry, in the measurement of Large Optics -- such as those found in Laser MegaJoule and NIF. Stitching Interferometry involves multiple overlapping sub-aperture measurements over large components, and a computer software to reconstruct the wavefronts. Obviously, the Stitching Interferometer's measurement characteristics have to be different to those of the Standard Interferometer of same nominal measurement area. Two questions emerge: (1) What metric do we choose to express these characteristics? (2) How does Stitching Interferometry compare to Standard Interferometry, using this metric? We choose to use the PSD to illustrate how Stitching Interferometry of large components compares with Standard Large-Size Interferometry, for various lateral scales. Also, we highlight some important characteristics of Stitching Interferometry, which arise from judicious use of the particular configuration of the device. Ignorance of basic propagation phenomena can lead to bad design of the Stitching Interferometer, and loss of any performance advantage over Standard Interferometry. Because many of these effects are not direct consequences of the Stitching process, we call them side effects. In this paper, we provide basic explanation, and keep the mathematics to a low profile -- indeed, it is not necessary to actually compute anything to understand the effects. However, some very basic formulas, a few numerical tables and lots of graphs are presented, in order to provide basis for discussion.
Novel numerical algorithm for overhead lines protection and adaptive autoreclosure (2001)

A new fault location numerical algorithm based on one terminal data processing and derived in the time domain is presented. The fault location and its nature (arcing or arcless fault) are estimated using the least error squares technique. The arc, occurring on the fault point, is included into the problem consideration. By introducing the pre-fault load current, the better algorithm performances are achieved. The algorithm is derived for the case of a three phase symmetrical fault. The results of the algorithm testing through computer simulation are presented. The algorithm sensitivity to arc elongation effects are also tested.
Vehicle Color Recognition on Urban Road by Feature Context (2014)

Vehicle information recognition is a key component of intelligent transportation systems. Color plays an important role in vehicle identification. As a vehicle has its inner structure, the main challenge of vehicle color recognition is to select the region of interest (ROI) for recognizing its dominant color. In this paper, we propose a method to implicitly select the ROI for color recognition. Preprocessing is performed to overcome the influence of image quality degradation. Then, the ROI in vehicle images is selected by assigning the subregions with different weights that are learned by a classifier trained on the vehicle images. We train the classifier by linear support vector machine for its efficiency and high precision. The experiments are extensively validated on both images and videos, which are collected on urban roads. The proposed method outperforms other competing color recognition methods.
Sleep Problems in Infants Decrease Following Massage Therapy (2001)

Infants and toddlers (M age = 1.5 years) with sleep onset problems were given daily massages by their parents for 15 minutes prior to bedtime for one month. Based on parent diaries the massaged versus the control children (who were read bedtime stories) showed fewer sleep delay behaviors and had a shorter latency to sleep onset by the end of the study. Forty‐five minute behavior observations by an independent observer also revealed more time awake, alert and active and more positive affect in the massaged children by the end of the study.

A Bipedal DNA Motor that Travels Back and Forth between Two DNA Origami Tiles (2014)

In this work, the successful operation of a dynamic DNA device constructed from two DNA origami building blocks is reported. The device includes a bipedal walker that strides back and forth between the two origami tiles. Two different DNA origami tiles are first prepared separately; they are then joined together in a controlled manner by a set of DNA strands to form a stable track in high yield as confirmed by single-molecule fluorescence (SMF). Second, a bipedal DNA motor, initially attached to one of the two origami units and operated by sequential interaction with "fuel" and "antifuel" DNA strands, moves from one origami tile to another and then back again. The operational yield, measured by SMF, was similar to that of a motor operating on a similar track embedded in a single origami tile, confirming that the transfer across the junction from one tile to the other does not result in dissociation that is any more than that of steps on a single tile. These results demonstrate that moving parts can reliably travel from one origami unit to another, and it demonstrates the feasibility of dynamic DNA molecular machines that are made of more than a single origami building block. This study is a step toward the development of motors that can stride over micrometer distances.
Synthesis and Thermal Curing of Aryl-Ethynyl-Terminated <i>co</i>POSS Imide Oligomers:  New Inorganic/Organic Hybrid Resins (2002)

A new bis(amino)-functionalized POSS monomer was prepared and characterized with the formula diexo-(c-C5H9)8Si8O11(p-C6H4NH2)2 . The new POSS monomer (1−10 mol %) along with diamines 1,3-bis(3-aminophenoxy)benzene (APB) and 3,4‘-oxydianiline (ODA) and were copolymerized with 4,4‘-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) and two reactive end-caps, 4-(arylethynyl)phthalic anhydride {where aryl = phenyl and 9-anthracenyl} to afford a series of new inorganic/organic imide oligomers. The oligomers containing 1% and 10% POSS gave similar Tg data (≈191 and 203 °C) as the pure organic imide oligomers and were shown to thermally cure to afford solvent-resistant and high Tg resins. The thermal curing kinetic data for the 10%-POSS-containing imide was obtained. The kinetic data showed the rate of thermal curing to be unaffected (within experimental deviation) by the addition of the POSS units.
Human T cell microparticles circulate in blood of hepatitis patients and induce fibrolytic activation of hepatic stellate cells (2010)

Circulating T cell MPs are a novel diagnostic marker for inflammatory liver diseases, and in vivo induction of T cell MPs may be a novel strategy to induce regression of liver fibrosis.
Defect detection in textured materials using Gabor filters (2002)

This paper investigates various approaches for automated inspection of textured materials using Gabor wavelet features. A new supervised defect detection approach to detect a class of defects in textile webs is proposed. Unsupervised web inspection using a multichannel filtering scheme is investigated. A new data fusion scheme to multiplex the information from the different channels is proposed. Various factors interacting the tradeoff for performance and computational load are discussed. This scheme establishes high computational savings over the previously proposed approaches and results in high quality of defect detection. Final acceptance of visual inspection systems depends on economical aspects as well. Therefore, a new low-cost solution for fast web inspection is also included in this paper. The experimental results conducted on real fabric defects for various approaches proposed in this paper confirm their usefulness.
<title>Sensor grating demodulation using a passively mode locked fiber laser</title> (1997)

A fiber Bragg grating sensor array is interrogated using a broad bandwidth passively mode locked fiber laser source. A novel demodulation scheme is demonstrated using highly dispersive fiber to convert the grating wavelength shift to a temporal shift in the arrival time of the reflected pulses. The mode locked fiber laser was then modified and operated in the square pulse regime, where 4 W, 10 ns pulses with bandwidths greater than 60 nm were used successfully to illuminate 2% fiber Bragg gratings.

Superimposed video disambiguation for increased field of view (2008)

Many infrared optical systems in wide-ranging applications such as surveillance and security frequently require large fields of view (FOVs). Often this necessitates a focal plane array (FPA) with a large number of pixels, which, in general, is very expensive. In a previous paper, we proposed a method for increasing the FOV without increasing the pixel resolution of the FPA by superimposing multiple sub-images within a static scene and disambiguating the observed data to reconstruct the original scene. This technique, in effect, allows each sub-image of the scene to share a single FPA, thereby increasing the FOV without compromising resolution. In this paper, we demonstrate the increase of FOVs in a realistic setting by physically generating a superimposed video from a single scene using an optical system employing a beamsplitter and a movable mirror. Without prior knowledge of the contents of the scene, we are able to disambiguate the two sub-images, successfully capturing both large-scale features and fine details in each sub-image. We improve upon our previous reconstruction approach by allowing each sub-image to have slowly changing components, carefully exploiting correlations between sequential video frames to achieve small mean errors and to reduce run times. We show the effectiveness of this improved approach by reconstructing the constituent images of a surveillance camera video.

Genetic Abnormalities in Sporadic Parathyroid Adenomas (1990)

We analyzed genomic DNA from 43 sporadic benign parathyroid adenomas for rearrangements of the PTH gene, and for point mutations of the H-ras (codons 12, 13, and 61), N-ras (codons 12, 13, and 61), and K-ras (codons 12 and 13) genes. One of 43 parathyroid adenomas showed a chromosome 11 rearrangement involving both the PTH gene on the short arm of chromosome 11 (at band p15) and a locus on the long arm (11q13). This rearrangement was indistinguishable from one that was previously described in a parathyroid adenoma by Arnold et al., indicating that this may be an important contributor to tumorigenesis in a small subset of patients with parathyroid adenoma. H-ras, K-ras, and N-ras oncogene activation by point mutation at codons 12, 13, or 61, known to occur in many tumors, could not be detected in any parathyroid adenoma.
Results from the International Consensus Conference on myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol in Obstetrics and Gynecology – assisted reproduction technology (2015)

A substantial body of research on mammalian gametogenesis and human reproduction has recently investigated the effect of myo-inositol (MyoIns) on oocyte and sperm cell quality, due to its possible application to medically assisted reproduction. With a growing number of both clinical and basic research papers, the meaning of several observations now needs to be interpreted under a solid and rigorous physiological framework. The 2013 Florence International Consensus Conference on Myo- and D-chiro-inositol in obstetrics and gynecology has answered a number of research questions concerning the use of the two stereoisomers in assisted reproductive technologies. Available clinical trials and studies on the physiological and pharmacological effects of these molecules have been surveyed. Specifically, the physiological involvement of MyoIns in oocyte maturation and sperm cell functions has been discussed, providing an answer to the following questions: (1) Are inositols physiologically involved in oocyte maturation? (2) Are inositols involved in the physiology of spermatozoa function? (3) Is treatment with inositols helpful within assisted reproduction technology cycles? (4) Are there any differences in clinical efficacy between MyoIns and D-chiro-inositol? The conclusions of this Conference, drawn depending on expert panel opinions and shared with all the participants, are summarized in this review paper.
Heisenberg-Limited Atom Clocks Based on Entangled Qubits (2014)

We present a quantum-enhanced atomic clock protocol based on groups of sequentially larger Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states that achieves the best clock stability allowed by quantum theory up to a logarithmic correction. Importantly the protocol is designed to work under realistic conditions where the drift of the phase of the laser interrogating the atoms is the main source of decoherence. The simultaneous interrogation of the laser phase with a cascade of GHZ states realizes an incoherent version of the phase estimation algorithm that enables Heisenberg-limited operation while extending the coherent interrogation time beyond the laser noise limit. We compare and merge the new protocol with existing state of the art interrogation schemes, and identify the precise conditions under which entanglement provides an advantage for clock stabilization: it allows a significant gain in the stability for short averaging time.
Soft-tissue contrast resolution within the head of human cadaver by means of flat-detector-based cone-beam CT (2004)

In this paper, soft tissue contrast visibility in neural applications is investigated for volume imaging based on flat X-ray detector cone-beam CT. Experiments have been performed on a high precision bench-top system with rotating object table and fixed X-ray tube-detector arrangement. Several scans of a post mortem human head specimen have been performed under various conditions. Hereby two different flat X-ray detectors with 366 x 298mm<sup>2</sup> (Trixell Pixium 4700) and 176 x 176mm<sup>2</sup> (Trixell Pixium 4800) active area have been employed. During a single rotation up to 720 projections have been acquired. For reconstruction of the 3D images a Feldkamp algorithm has been employed. Reconstructed images of the head of human cadaver demonstrate that added soft tissue contrast down to 10 HU is detectable for X-ray dose comparable to CT. However, the limited size of the smaller detector led to truncation artifacts, which were partly compensated by extrapolation of the projections outside the field of view. To reduce cupping artifacts resulting from scattered radiation and to improve visibility of low contrast details, a novel homogenization procedure based on segmentation and polynomial fitting has been developed and applied on the reconstructed voxel data. Even for narrow HU-Windows, limitations due to scatter induced cupping artifacts are no longer noticeable after applying the homogenization procedure.
Offline shape recognition using flexible DCT grid (2012)

Extracting features out of binary shapes which are robust against scaling, noise, and rigid & elastic deformations is the purpose of this paper. The authors have utilized the amazing energy compaction property of Discrete Cosine Transform, applied to variable size, non-overlapping blocks of input image, containing the shape to capture features (hereby called the signature of the shape). By keeping the number of these non-overlapping blocks the same, irrespective of the size of input image, is good against scaling, while applying various morphological operations on black and white versions of the shape and then picking a few lower frequency components makes the scheme work against noise and deformations. Extracted signatures show amazing inter-class variation and intra-class similarity when classified using minimum distance and k-NN classifiers. The proposed system has shown great accuracy on GREC 2003 shape dataset (http://www.cvc.uab.es) [23], MPEG7 silhouette shape database (http://www.imageprocessingplace.com/root_files_V3/image_databases.htm) [25] and TOSCA tools shape dataset (http://tosca.cs.technion.ac.il/book/resources_data.html) [26].
Reduced Pressure CVD Growth of Ge and Ge<sub>1−x</sub>Sn<sub>x</sub>Alloys (2013)

The epitaxial growth of Ge and GeSn alloys on Si(100) by Reduced Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition is discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the growth kinetics in the temperature window between 375°C and 475°C. Using Ge2H6 precursor and H2 carrier gas a low activation energy of 0.7 eV was found for the Ge growth which further decreases to 0.5 eV for N2 carrier gas. Thin Ge layers with high crystalline quality are aimed which may be used as buffers for the epitaxial growth of GeSn layers. Furthermore, GeSn alloys with up to 10 at.% Sn are synthesized on Si(100) at growth temperatures of 375°C employing Ge2H6 and SnCl4 precursors. All Ge and GeSn layers exhibit high crystalline quality as revealed by X-ray reciprocal space mapping and are nearly fully strain relaxed.
Integrative Transformation System for the Metabolic Engineering of the Sphingoid Base-Producing Yeast <i>Pichia ciferrii</i> (2003)

We have developed an integrative transformation system for metabolic engineering of the tetraacetyl phytosphingosine (TAPS)-secreting yeast Pichia ciferrii. The system uses (i) a mutagenized ribosomal protein L41 gene of P. ciferrii as a dominant selection marker that confer resistance to the antibiotic cycloheximide and (ii) a ribosomal DNA (rDNA) fragment of P. ciferrii as a target for multicopy gene integration into the chromosome. A locus within the nontranscribed region located between 5S and 26S rDNAs was selected as the integration site. A maximum frequency of integrative transformation of approximately 1,350 transformants/ microg of DNA was observed. To improve the de novo synthesis of sphingolipid, the LCB2 gene, encoding a subunit of serine palmitoyltransferase, which catalyzes the first committed step of sphingolipid synthesis, was cloned from P. ciferrii and overexpressed under the control of the P. ciferrii glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter. After transformation of an LCB2 gene expression cassette, several transformants that contained approximately five to seven copies of transforming DNA in the chromosome and exhibited about 50-fold increase in LCB2 mRNA relative to the wild type were identified. These transformants were observed to produce approximately two times more TAPS than the wild type.
