The Behavior of Anchor Connections of Cold-Formed Steel Roof Truss (2003)

In recent years, the use of cold-formed steel roof truss has been increased in the steel houses and high-rise apartments. The design of the roof truss anchor connections has been based on the experience and decision of designers. In this paper, the structural behavior of anchor connections based on experimental and decision is described. In the tests, truss members and connection members were jointed directly with self-drilling screw fasteners and the simple shaped connection member with excellent workability and structural capacity was used to connect roof truss and sub-structure. The connecting method was selected according to the construction material of sub-structure: chemical anchor for reinforced concrete structure and welding or DX-Pin for steel structures. The pull-out tests of various type anchor connection were executed to obtain the strength and the stiffness and the result have been compared with AISI(1996) and AlSC(1989) specifications, Simple formulas for the shear strength of screw connections have been propose and compared with tests.
Lethal effect of blue light on strawberry leaf beetle, Galerucella grisescens (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) (2017)

In a previous study, we found that blue-light irradiation kills insects such as fruit flies, mosquitos, and flour beetles. However, the lethal effects of blue light on coleopteran field crop pests have not been investigated. Chrysomelidae, a major family in phytophagous beetles, includes many species of crop pests. We investigated the lethal effect of blue light on chrysomelid beetles by examining the mortality of the strawberry leaf beetle Galerucella grisescens irradiated with different wavelengths of blue light during the non-mobile egg or pupal stage by using light-emitting diodes. Fifty to seventy percent of beetles irradiated with 407, 417, 438, or 465-nm lights at 15 × 10<sup>18</sup> photons·m<sup>-2</sup>·s<sup>-1</sup> during the egg stage died before hatching; ca. 90% of hatchlings irradiated with 438-nm light during the egg stage died before eclosion; and 35-55% of beetles irradiated with 407, 417, 454, and 465-nm lights at the same intensity during the pupal stage died before eclosion. Field crop pests are considered to have high tolerance to blue light because they are usually exposed to sunlight in their natural habitats. However, this study suggests that blue light can kill some field crop as well as household insect pests.
Effects of Running Velocity on Running Kinetics and Kinematics (2010)

Sixteen semiprofessional Australian football players performed running bouts at incremental velocities of 40, 60, 80, and 100% of their maximum velocity on a Woodway nonmotorized force treadmill. As running velocity increased from 40 to 60%, peak vertical and peak horizontal forces increased by 14.3% (effect size [ES] = 1.0) and 34.4% (ES = 4.2), respectively. The changes in peak vertical and peak horizontal forces from 60 to 80% were 1.0% (ES = 0.05) and 21.0% (ES = 2.9), respectively. Finally, the changes in peak vertical and peak horizontal forces from 80% to maximum were 2.0% (ES = 0.1) and 24.3% (ES = 3.4). In addition, both stride frequency and stride length significantly increased with each incremental velocity (p < 0.05). Conversely, contact times and the vertical displacement of the center of mass significantly decreased with increased running velocity (p < 0.05). A significant positive correlation was found between horizontal force and maximum running velocity (r = 0.47). For the kinematic variables, only stride length was found to have a significant positive correlation with maximum running velocity (r = 0.66). It would seem that increasing maximal sprint velocity may be more dependent on horizontal force production as opposed to vertical force production.

Radiation-Induced Cavitation (1959)

Measurements of the thresholds of radiation-induced acoustic cavitation in pentane and acetone are described. A resonator method was employed. It is concluded that the observed cavitation was nucleated by recoil carbon ions in pentane. The results are compared with calculations based on Seitz's model of the nucleation process. The agreement is within an order of magnitude.
Pericytes limit tumor cell metastasis (2006)

Previously we observed that neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) deficiency in beta tumor cells facilitates metastasis into distant organs and local lymph nodes. Here, we show that NCAM-deficient beta cell tumors grew leaky blood vessels with perturbed pericyte-endothelial cell-cell interactions and deficient perivascular deposition of ECM components. Conversely, tumor cell expression of NCAM in a fibrosarcoma model (T241) improved pericyte recruitment and increased perivascular deposition of ECM molecules. Together, these findings suggest that NCAM may limit tumor cell metastasis by stabilizing the microvessel wall. To directly address whether pericyte dysfunction increases the metastatic potential of solid tumors, we studied beta cell tumorigenesis in primary pericyte-deficient Pdgfb(ret/ret) mice. This resulted in beta tumor cell metastases in distant organs and local lymph nodes, demonstrating a role for pericytes in limiting tumor cell metastasis. These data support a new model for how tumor cells trigger metastasis by perturbing pericyte-endothelial cell-cell interactions.
Cross-linking Options for Lignins (1989)

For isolated lignins to become the primary backbone component of a network polymer, a reaction with a bifunctional or multifunctional crosslinking agent must be performed that is sufficiently reactive as well as compatible with lignin in either solvent-free or highly concentrated form. Since the essential prerequisites of compatibility and miscibility often are not met by isolated lignins, improvements may require chemical modification prior to crosslinking. Opportunities exist for preparing lignins by chemical derivative formation for incorporation into polymer networks. Modification reactions include sulfonation, methylolation, phenolation, alkoxylation, acrylation, and many others. These prepare lignins for incorporation into phenolics, epoxies, urethanes, acrylics, and several other types of thermosetting materials.
[A clinical and experimental study of the role of long-lasting perioperative epidural anesthesia in the prevention of phantom limb pain]. (1994)

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible onset of phantom limb pain (PLP) and its development depending on preoperative limb pain and type of anesthesia during limb amputation. It was experimentally proved that preliminary local anesthesia of rat sciatic nerve slowed down the development of pain syndrome after the operation as well as reduced the number of rats with pain syndrome, as compared to the group subjected to preliminary painful electrical stimulation of the operated on limb. The clinical data presented reveal a significant reduction in the incidence of PLP after perioperative epidural anesthesia, as compared to patients with preoperative pain operated on under general anesthesia.

Enzyme-controlled scavenging of ascorbyl and 2,6-dimethoxy-semiquinone free radicals in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. (1985)

The rate of scavenging by Ehrlich ascites cells of anionic ascorbyl and 2,6-dimethoxy-p-semiquinone free radicals has been investigated by electron spin resonance spectroscopy both for viable cells and for subcellular fractions obtained by differential centrifugation. The scavenging activity is concluded to be associated with an NAD(P)H enzyme containing an active sulfhydryl group. Attempts to identify the enzyme with the reported properties of either semi-dehydro-ascorbate reductase or DT-diaphorase have not been successful. The overall free-radical scavenging activity for viable cells is dextrose dependent and is controlled by the coulombic barrier associated with the cell-surface charge. The cytotoxicity of the mixture of ascorbic acid with 2,6-dimethoxy-p-benzoquinone is concluded to result from a loss of NAD(P)H reducing power in the cells.
Hybrid organic–inorganic phenyl monolithic column for capillary electrochromatography (2005)

A novel hybrid organic-inorganic silica-based monolithic column possessing phenyl ligands for reversed-phase (RP) capillary electrochromatography (CEC) is described. The monolithic stationary phase was prepared by in situ co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) with phenyltriethoxysilane (PTES) via a two-step catalytic sol-gel procedure to introduce phenyl groups distributed throughout the silica matrix for chromatographic interaction. The hydrolysis and condensation reactions of precursors were chemically controlled through pH variation by adding hydrochloric acid and dodecylamine, respectively. The structural property of the monolithic column can be easily tailored through adjusting the composition of starting sol solution. The effect of PTES/TEOS ratios on the morphology of the created stationary phases was investigated. A variety of neutral and basic analytes were used to evaluate the column performance. The CEC columns exhibited typical RP chromatographic retention mechanism for neutral compounds and had improved peak shape for basic solutes.
Fixation of tibial components of knee prostheses. (1981)

Twelve different tibial components were compared for fixation. The components included compartmental, anteriorly joined, posterior-cruciate retaining, and one-place with one, two, or three fixation posts; all-plastic or with a metal tray. The apparatus applied compressive load with anterior-posterior force, rotational torque, or varus-valgus moment. The relative deflections, both compressive and distractive, were measured between the component and the bone. The least deflections occurred with one-piece metal-tray components with one or two posts and with one-piece plastic components with a post on each side. Compartmental components deflected the most.
Approaches to the pharmacological treatment of obesity (2009)

Obesity is a global health crisis resulting in major morbidity and premature death. The need for safe and efficacious drug therapies is great, and presently unmet. The two drugs currently licensed in the USA for the long-term treatment of obesity, orlistat and sibutramine, provide only modest weight-loss benefits and are associated with high attrition rates owing to side effects. This review summarizes current concepts in the neuroendocrine control of energy homeostasis and major pharmacological treatments for obesity in the pipeline.
MUVIR: multi-view rare category detection (2015)

Rare category detection refers to the problem of identifying the initial examples from under-represented minority classes in an imbalanced data set. This problem becomes more challenging in many real applications where the data comes from multiple views, and some views may be irrelevant for distinguishing between majority and minority classes, such as synthetic ID detection and insider threat detection. Existing techniques for rare cat-egory detection are not best suited for such appli-cations, as they mainly focus on data with a single view. To address the problem of multi-view rare category detection, in this paper, we propose a novel frame-work named MUVIR. It builds upon existing tech-niques for rare category detection with each single view, and exploits the relationship among multiple views to estimate the overall probability of each ex-ample belonging to the minority class. In particu-lar, we study multiple special cases of the frame-work with respect to their working conditions, and analyze the performance of MUVIR in the presence of irrelevant views. For problems where the exact priors of the minority classes are unknown, we gen-eralize the MUVIR algorithm to work with only an upper bound on the priors. Experimental results on both synthetic and real data sets demonstrate the ef-fectiveness of the proposed framework, especially in the presence of irrelevant views. 1

VSC-OPF based on line voltage indices for power system losses minimization and voltage stability improvement (2013)

Power system optimization while improving system security and performance has become a major challenge in power systems planning and operation. As modern systems are being operated under heavily stressed conditions with reduced stability margins, incorporation of voltage stability criteria in the operation of power systems has become necessary. This paper presents a novel voltage stability constrained optimal power flow approach based on the line voltage stability indices. The objective of the new VSC-OPF is to add the voltage collapse proximity indicator (VCPI) into the OPF constraints to simultaneously minimize power losses and improve voltage stability. The proposed approach has been evaluated and compared with conventional OPF on the IEEE 30-bus test system under different cases. The simulation results are promising and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed VSC-OPF using the line voltage stability index.
Overview of the MPEG-CDVS Standard (2015)

Compact descriptors for visual search (CDVS) is a recently completed standard from the ISO/IEC moving pictures experts group (MPEG). The primary goal of this standard is to provide a standardized bitstream syntax to enable interoperability in the context of image retrieval applications. Over the course of the standardization process, remarkable improvements were achieved in reducing the size of image feature data and in reducing the computation and memory footprint in the feature extraction process. This paper provides an overview of the technical features of the MPEG-CDVS standard and summarizes its evolution.
Learning to Extract Coherent Summary via Deep Reinforcement Learning (2018)

Coherence plays a critical role in producing a high-quality summary from a document. In recent years, neural extractive summarization is becoming increasingly attractive. However, most of them ignore the coherence of summaries when extracting sentences. As an effort towards extracting coherent summaries, we propose a neural coherence model to capture the cross-sentence semantic and syntactic coherence patterns. The proposed neural coherence model obviates the need for feature engineering and can be trained in an end-to-end fashion using unlabeled data. Empirical results show that the proposed neural coherence model can efficiently capture the cross-sentence coherence patterns. Using the combined output of the neural coherence model and ROUGE package as the reward, we design a reinforcement learning method to train a proposed neural extractive summarizer which is named Reinforced Neural Extractive Summarization (RNES) model. The RNES model learns to optimize coherence and informative importance of the summary simultaneously. The experimental results show that the proposed RNES outperforms existing baselines and achieves state-of-the-art performance in term of ROUGE on CNN/Daily Mail dataset. The qualitative evaluation indicates that summaries produced by RNES are more coherent and readable.
RiskOracle: A Minute-Level Citywide Traffic Accident Forecasting Framework (2020)

Real-time traffic accident forecasting is increasingly important for public safety and urban management (e.g., real-time safe route planning and emergency response deployment). Previous works on accident forecasting are often performed on hour levels, utilizing existed neural networks with static region-wise correlations taken into account. However, it is still challenging when the granularity of forecasting step improves as the highly dynamic nature of road network and inherent rareness of accident records in one training sample, which leads to biased results and zero-inflated issue. In this work, we propose a novel framework RiskOracle, to improve the prediction granularity to minute levels. Specifically, we first transform the zero-risk values in labels to fit the training network. Then, we propose the Differential Time-varying Graph neural network (DTGN) to capture the immediate changes of traffic status and dynamic inter-subregion correlations. Furthermore, we adopt multi-task and region selection schemes to highlight citywide most-likely accident subregions, bridging the gap between biased risk values and sporadic accident distribution. Extensive experiments on two real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and scalability of our RiskOracle framework.

Imaging Ca<sup>2+</sup> with a Fluorescent Rhodol (2017)

Ca<sup>2+</sup> mediates a host of biochemical and biophysical signaling processes in cells. The development of synthetic, Ca<sup>2+</sup>-sensitive fluorophores has played an instrumental role in our understanding of the temporal and spatial dynamics of Ca<sup>2+</sup>. Coupling Ca<sup>2+</sup>-selective ligands to fluorescent reporters has provided a wealth of excellent indicators that span the visible excitation and emission spectrum and possess Ca<sup>2+</sup> affinities suited to a variety of cellular contexts. One underdeveloped area is the use of hybrid rhodamine/fluorescein fluorophores, or rhodols, in the context of Ca<sup>2+</sup> sensing. Rhodols are bright and photostable and have good two-photon absorption cross sections (σ<sub>TPA</sub>), making them excellent candidates for incorporation into Ca<sup>2+</sup>-sensing scaffolds. Here, we present the design, synthesis, and application of rhodol Ca<sup>2+</sup> sensor 1 (RCS-1), a chlorinated pyrrolidine-based rhodol. RCS-1 possesses a Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding constant of 240 nM and a 10-fold turn response to Ca<sup>2+</sup>. RCS-1 effectively absorbs infrared light and has a σ<sub>TPA</sub> of 76 GM at 840 nm, 3-fold greater than that of its fluorescein-based counterpart. The acetoxy-methyl ester of RCS-1 stains the cytosol of live cells, enabling observation of Ca<sup>2+</sup> fluctuations and cultured neurons using both one- and two-photon illumination. Together, these results demonstrate the utility of rhodol-based scaffolds for Ca<sup>2+</sup> sensing using two-photon illumination in neurons.
Expression in cochlea and retina of myosin VIIa, the gene product defective in Usher syndrome type 1B. (1995)

Myosin VIIa is a newly identified member of the myosin superfamily of actin-based motors. Recently, the myosin VIIa gene was identified as the gene defective in shaker-1, a recessive deafness in mice [Gibson, F., Walsh, J., Mburu, P., Varela, A., Brown, K.A., Antonio, M., Beisel, K.W., Steel, K.P. & Brown, S.D.M. (1995) Nature (London) 374, 62-64], and in human Usher syndrome type 1B, an inherited disease characterized by congenital deafness, vestibular dysfunction, and retinitis pigmentosa [Weil, D., Blanchard, S., Kaplan, J., Guilford, P., Gibson, F., Walsh, J., Mburu, P., Varela, A., Levilliers, J., Weston, M.D., Kelley, P.M., Kimberling, W.J., Wagenaar, M., Levi-Acobas, F., Larget-Piet, D., Munnich, A., Steel, K.P., Brown, S.D.M. & Petit, C. (1995) Nature (London) 374, 60-61]. To understand the normal function of myosin VIIa and how it could cause these disease phenotypes when defective, we generated antibodies specific to the tail portion of this unconventional myosin. We found that myosin VIIa was expressed in cochlea, retina, testis, lung, and kidney. In cochlea, myosin VIIa expression was restricted to the inner and outer hair cells, where it was found in the apical stereocilia as well as the cytoplasm. In the eye, myosin VIIa was expressed by the retinal pigmented epithelial cells, where it was enriched within the apical actin-rich domain of this cell type. The cell-specific localization of myosin VIIa suggests that the blindness and deafness associated with Usher syndrome is due to lack of proper myosin VIIa function within the cochlear hair cells and the retinal pigmented epithelial cells.
