Demand side management verification system for electric vehicles (2014)

Large-scale grid integration of plug in Electric Vehicles (EVs) brings in many challenges and opportunities for electric power systems. Considering their relatively high power demand and flexibility in terms of charging time, EVs can offer opportunities for demand side management. In particular, the socalled EV Aggregators or Charge Optimization Systems (COS) can optimize the charging schedule of EVs with respect to a number of factors, such as available renewable generation and electricity market prices. However, the optimized schedules must be validated to assure that they do not lead to violation of any operational constraint of the power system. To this aim, major changes in the charging schedules to be applied by COS must be checked with the system operator. This paper describes an EV schedule verification system based on artificial neural networks. This system verifies if the COS schedules can be directly applied or if some modifications are necessary. The proposed approach is tested on two sample distribution systems.
P2D: a self-supervised method for depth estimation from polarimetry (2021)

Monocular depth estimation is a recurring subject in the field of computer vision. Its ability to describe scenes via a depth map while reducing the constraints related to the formulation of perspective geometry tends to favor its use. However, despite the constant improvement of algorithms, most methods exploit only colorimetric information. Consequently, robustness to events to which the modality is not sensitive to, like specularity or transparency, is neglected. In response to this phenomenon, we propose using polarimetry as an input for a self-supervised monodepth network. Therefore, we propose exploiting polarization cues to encourage accurate reconstruction of scenes. Furthermore, we include a term of polarimetric regularization to state-of-the-art method to take specific advantage of the data. Our method is evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively demonstrating that the contribution of this new information as well as an enhanced loss function improves depth estimation results, especially for specular areas.
Performance of the complex sphere decoder in spatially correlated MIMO channels (2007)

The use of multiple antennas at both transmitter and receiver is a promising technique for significantly increasing the capacity and spectral efficiency of wireless communication systems. In particular, spatial multiplexing techniques provide a means of increasing the data rate of the system without having to increase the transmitter power or the bandwidth. In recent years, special attention has been paid to the sphere decoder (SD) to detect spatially multiplexed signals. It provides optimal maximum likelihood (ML) performance with reduced complexity, compared to the maximum likelihood detector (MLD). An analysis of the performance of the SD in the presence of spatially correlated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels is presented. Analytical and simulation results show that, compared to suboptimal linear and nonlinear MIMO detectors, the SD suffers a complexity increase when correlation exists between the antennas at the transmitter or the receiver. In addition, a novel low-complexity channel ordering technique is introduced to reduce the complexity of the SD.
On broad-side delay test (2002)

A broad-side delay test is a form of a scan-based delay test, where the first vector of the pair is scanned into the chain, and the second vector of the pair is the combinational circuit's response to this first vector. This delay test form is called "broad-side" since the second vector of the delay test pair is provided in a broad-side fashion, namely through the logic. This paper concentrates on generation of broad-side delay test vectors; shows the results of experiments conducted on the ISCAS sequential benchmarks, and discusses some concerns of the broad-side delay test strategy.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Measurement of Hydrostatic Intraperitoneal Pressure: A Necessary Routine Test in Peritoneal Dialysis (1996)

This paper summarizes our clinical studies on hydrostatic intraperitoneal pressure (IPP), showing the interest of this measurement in routine clinical practice. IPP can easily be measured routinely be a simple and safe method: the measure of the column of dialysate in the peritoneal dialysis (PD) line before drainage, with point 0 located on the midaxillary line. The normal value is 12 +/- 2 cm of water (cm H2O) with an intraperitoneal volume (IPV) of 2 L, with linear increases of 2.2 cm H2O for each additional liter. IPP must be measured to estimate the tolerance of IPV: the maximal permissible IPV is reached for an IPP of 18 cm H2O, squaring with a decrease of 20% in vital capacity and sometimes arising before clinical symptomatology. However, IPP measured at rest could not predict PD mechanical complications (hernias, dialysis leakages, hemorrhoids, etc.), which are more dependent on parietal previous history or predisposition. IPP is significantly higher during the first three days after peritoneal catheter implantation (17 +/- 3 cm H2O) than during the 12 following days (10 +/- 4 cm H2O). It is recommended to postpone the start of PD until after catheter implantation, and patients should remain supine for the first three days. On the other hand, IPP strongly reduces the overall ultrafiltration (UF) volume: an increase of 1 cm H2O in IPP caused a decrease of 70 mL in global UF after two hours. Therefore, IPP should be measured in diagnosis of losses of UF. However, UF loss during peritonitis is not due to an increase of IPP.

A Novel Bromodomain Inhibitor Reverses HIV-1 Latency through Specific Binding with BRD4 to Promote Tat and P-TEFb Association (2017)

While combinatory antiretroviral therapy (cART) can effectively reduce HIV-1 viremia, it cannot eliminate HIV-1 infection. In the presence of cART, viral reservoirs remain latent, impeding the cure of HIV-1/AIDS. Recently, latency-reversing agents (LRAs) have been developed with the intent of purging latent HIV-1, providing an intriguing strategy for the eradication of the residual viral reservoirs. Our earlier studies show that the first-generation, methyl-triazolo bromodomain, and extra-terminal domain inhibitor (BETi), JQ1, facilitates the reversal of HIV-1 latency. BETis have emerged as a new class of compounds that are promising for this HIV-1 "shock and kill" eradication approach. However, when used as a single drug, JQ1 only modestly reverses HIV-1 latency, which complicates studying the underlining mechanisms. Meanwhile, it has been widely discussed that the induction of latent proviruses is stochastic (Ho et al., 2013). Thus, new BETis are currently under active development with focus on improving potency, ease of synthesis and structural diversity. Using fluorous-tagged multicomponent reactions, we developed a novel second-generation, 3,5-dimethylisoxazole BETi based on an imidazo[1,2-a] pyrazine scaffold, UMB-32. Furthermore, we screened 37 UMB-32 derivatives and identified that one, UMB-136, reactivates HIV-1 in multiple cell models of HIV-1 latency with better efficiency than either JQ1 or UMB-32. UMB-136 enhances HIV-1 transcription and increases viral production through the release of P-TEFb. Importantly, UMB-136 enhances the latency-reversing effects of PKC agonists (prostratin, bryostatin-1) in CD8-depleted PBMCs containing latent viral reservoirs. Our results illustrate that structurally improved BETis, such as UMB-136, may be useful as promising LRAs for HIV-1 eradication.
Track Detection in Railway Sidings Based on MEMS Gyroscope Sensors (2012)

The paper presents a two-step technique for real-time track detection in single-track railway sidings using low-cost MEMS gyroscopes. The objective is to reliably know the path the train has taken in a switch, diverted or main road, immediately after the train head leaves the switch. The signal delivered by the gyroscope is first processed by an adaptive low-pass filter that rejects noise and converts the temporal turn rate data in degree/second units into spatial turn rate data in degree/meter. The conversion is based on the travelled distance taken from odometer data. The filter is implemented to achieve a speed-dependent cut-off frequency to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio. Although direct comparison of the filtered turn rate signal with a predetermined threshold is possible, the paper shows that better detection performance can be achieved by processing the turn rate signal with a filter matched to the rail switch curvature parameters. Implementation aspects of the track detector have been optimized for real-time operation. The detector has been tested with both simulated data and real data acquired in railway campaigns.
Nonspecific Recruitment of Memory CD8+ T Cells to the Lung Airways During Respiratory Virus Infections (2003)

Previous studies have shown that heterologous viral infections have a significant impact on pre-existing memory T cell populations in secondary lymphoid organs through a combination of cross-reactive and bystander effects. However, the impact of heterologous viral infections on effector/memory T cells in peripheral sites is not well understood. In this study, we have analyzed the impact of a heterologous influenza virus infection on Sendai virus-specific CD8(+) effector/memory cells present in the lung airways. The data show a transient increase in the numbers of Sendai virus nucleoprotein 324-332/K(b)-specific CD8(+) memory T cells in the airways of the influenza-infected mice peaking around day 4 postinfection. Intratracheal transfer studies and 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine incorporation demonstrate that this increase is due to the recruitment of resting memory cells into the airways. In addition, the data show that these immigrating memory cells are phenotypically distinct from the resident memory T cells of the lung airways. A similar influx of nonproliferating Sendai virus nucleoprotein 324-332/K(b)-specific CD8(+) memory T cells is also induced by a secondary (homologous) infection with Sendai virus. Together, these data suggest that inflammation can accelerate memory T cell migration to nonlymphoid tissues and is a part of the normal recall response during respiratory infections.
A low-cost integrated positioning system for autonomous off-highway vehicles (2008)

This article reports a method for integrating a low-cost positioning system, constructed using a Garmin N17 global positioning system (GPS) and an integrated inertial sensor unit, consisting of three single-axis microelectromechanical system (MEMS) gyros and one triaxial MEMS accelerometer, for autonomous off-highway vehicle use. Based on a vehicle position—velocity—attitude (PVA) model, a data fusion algorithm was formulated to extract more accurate and reliable positioning information from the raw data sensed by the GPS and inertial sensor unit. The developed integrated positioning system (IPS) was evaluated on an agricultural utility vehicle on three different sites. A real-time kinematic (RTK) differential GPS unit, capable of providing 2–3cm dynamic positioning accuracy while the position dilution of precision is low enough, was installed on the test vehicle to provide accurate positioning references in those evaluation tests. Results obtained from those tests showed that, when the vehicle was travelling on paved roads near buildings and/or under the trees, the maximum positioning error of the developed IPS was 0.50m, and that this maximum error level was reduced to 0.30m when the vehicle was travelling in open fields. The IPS could provide a position update rate at 50Hz; even the GPS could provide only a 1Hz update rate. Test results also revealed that this system could continuously provide accurate position signals when the GPS signal is lost for up to 30s. This research verified that a low-cost IPS could provide satisfactory position information for autonomous off-highway vehicle uses.
Nonlinear decoupling sliding mode control and attitude control of spacecraft (1989)

Control of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems which can be decoupled by state-variable feedback is considered. A variable-structure-control (VSC) law is derived so that in the closed-loop system the output variables asymptotically track given output trajectories in spite of any uncertainty in the system. On the basis of this result, a control law is derived for the attitude control of an orbiting spacecraft in the presence of uncertainty using reaction jets. The controlled outputs are the three Euler angles which describe the orientation of the spacecraft relative to an orbital frame. Simulation results are presented to show that, in the closed-loop system, precise attitude control is accomplished in spite of the uncertainty in the system.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Glucocorticoids suppress the production of interleukin 4 by human lymphocytes (1991)

Given that glucocorticoids (GCS) were reported to increase the production of interleukin 4 (IL4) by mouse T cells and that GCS are widely used to treat allergic diseases it was important to examine the effect of these agents on IL4 production by human lymphocytes. We here demonstrate that the production of IL4 by human lymphocytes is markedly inhibited by small concentrations of hydrocortisone. The suppression is observed at the protein and at the mRNA levels and it is not secondary to the GCS-induced inhibition of IL2 production.
Investigation into the use of the World Wide Web as an interface for distributing electronic documents to and from a remote digital color printing site (1996)

The World Wide Web and Internet are the most talked-about and fastest-growing mediums for information and electronic document distribution. Their growth has, and will continue to have, a great impact on all forms of media, due to their potential to reach millions of individuals. This project demonstrates the capabilities of the World Wide Web to perform, not only as a publishing vehicle, but as a means for communication and document distribution to a digital color printing facility. In order to show this, a Web site was built that incorporated the utilities needed for the successful exchange of data, such as links to additional software applications available on the Web, downloadable ICC Color Management profiles of the digital color press, a hypertext job estimate/information form, an uploadable FTP server, and directions on how to use the service and create the appropriate files. The result is a functional Web-based printing facility that eliminates the restrictions associated with geographical boundaries. The test to see if this site functioned properly was the successful implementation of the aforementioned applications and tools to create actual documents. Those documents, when put through the developed workflow, must exhibit the designers' original intent when reproduced on a remote digital press and when compared to their originals reproduced on that same press. The written portion of this thesis documents the procedures and rationale behind the methodology used.

Expanded B cell population blocks regulatory T cells and exacerbates ileitis in a murine model of Crohn disease (2004)

SAMP1/YitFc mice develop discontinuous, transmural inflammatory lesions in the terminal ileum, similar to what is found in human Crohn disease. Compared with the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) of AKR control mice, SAMP1/YitFc MLNs contain a 4.3-fold expansion in total B cell number and a 2.5-fold increased percentage of CD4(+) T cells expressing the alpha(E)beta(7) integrin. Although alpha(E)beta(7)(+)CD4(+) T cells possess a regulatory phenotype (CD25(+), L-selectin(lo), and CD45RB(lo)), express IL-10, and suppress effector T cell proliferation in vitro, they cannot prevent ileitis development in SCID mice adoptively transferred with effector CD4(+) T cells, although the CD4(+)CD25(+) subset, which overlaps with the alpha(E)beta(7)(+)CD4(+) subset, prevents colitis. The alpha(E)beta(7)(+)CD4(+) T cells express high levels of ICOS, a costimulatory molecule that augments B cell function, suggesting their involvement in the increase in B cells, IgA(+) cells, and soluble IgA found within the MLNs and ileum of SAMP1/YitFc mice. MLN B cell numbers correlate with ileitis severity in SAMP1/YitFc mice, and cotransfer of SAMP1/YitFc MLN B cells along with CD4(+) T cells increases ileitis severity in SCID mice compared with transfer of CD4(+) T cells alone. SAMP1/YitFc B cells prevent alpha(E)beta(7)(+)CD4(+) T cells from suppressing effector T cell proliferation. We conclude that SAMP1/YitFc MLN B cells contribute to the development of SAMP1/YitFc ileitis.

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging of the upper trapezius muscles – assessment of myofascial trigger points in patients with migraine (2019)

Our approach enables the identification of mTrPs and their quantification in terms of T2 mapping even in the absence of qualitative signal alterations. Thus, it (1) might potentially challenge the current gold-standard method of physical examination of mTrPs, (2) could allow for more targeted and objectively verifiable interventions, and (3) could add valuable models to understand better central-peripheral mechanisms in migraine.
Biological antioxidant activities of bromophenols and certain other antioxidants. (1986)

The biological antioxidant activities of bromophenols (5-bromo-3, 4-dihydroxy benzaldehyde and 5-bromo-3, 4-dihydroxy benzylalcohol), protocatechualdehyde and vanillyl octadecanamide were compared with α-tocopherol in vitro and in vivo. All of these antioxidants significantly inhibited the lipid peroxidation in microsomal suspensions induced by ascorbate/Fe(II) or NADPH. By removing the non-binding free antioxidants from the suspensions, the inhibitory activities markedly decreased in antioxidants other than α-tocopherol; however, considerable activity was still observed. The effects of orally administered antioxidants on the symptoms of vitamin E deficiency were examined using rats fed with a vitamin E-free diet and supplemented with oxidized oils. As a result and contrary to the effects in vitro, all of the antioxidants were much less effective in liver. However, some of the vitamin E-deficient symptoms such as organic solvent-soluble fluorescent materials in the heart and lung, and oxidative hemolysis were significantly suppressed by some antioxidants.
Privacy In New Mobile Payment Protocol (2008)

The increasing development of wireless networks and the widespread popularity of handheld devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), mobile phones and wireless tablets represents an incredible opportunity to enable mobile devices as a universal payment method, involving daily financial transactions. Unfortunately, some issues hampering the widespread acceptance of mobile payment such as accountability properties, privacy protection, limitation of wireless network and mobile device. Recently, many public-key cryptography based mobile payment protocol have been proposed. However, limited capabilities of mobile devices and wireless networks make these protocols are unsuitable for mobile network. Moreover, these protocols were designed to preserve traditional flow of payment data, which is vulnerable to attack and increase the user-s risk. In this paper, we propose a private mobile payment protocol which based on client centric model and by employing symmetric key operations. The proposed mobile payment protocol not only minimizes the computational operations and communication passes between the engaging parties, but also achieves a completely privacy protection for the payer. The future work will concentrate on improving the verification solution to support mobile user authentication and authorization for mobile payment transactions.
Use of branched‐chain esters to reduce the crystallization temperature of biodiesel (1995)

Abstract To reduce the tendency of biodiesel to crystallize at low temperatures, branched‐chain alcohols were used to esterify various fats and oils, and the crystallization properties of the branched esters were compared with those of methyl esters by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), cloud point, and pour point. Compared with the methyl esters that are commonly used in biodiesel, branched‐chain esters greatly reduced the crystallization onset temperature (T CO ) of neat esters and their corresponding ester diesel fuel blends. Isopropyl and 2‐butyl esters of normal (∼10 wt% palmitate) soybean oil (SBO) crystallized 7–11 and 12–14°C lower, respectively, than the corresponding methyl esters. The benefit of the branched‐chain esters in lowering T CO increased when the esters were blended with diesel fuel. Esters made from a low‐palmitate (3.8%) SBO crystallized 5–6°C lower than those of normal SBO. Isopropyl esters of lard and tallow had T CO values similar to that of methyl esters of SBO. DSC provided an accurate means of monitoring crystallization, and the DSC results correlated with cloud and pour point measurements.
