Fine directional de-interlacing algorithm using modified Sobel operation (2008)

This paper presents an intra field de-interlacing algorithm for spatial edge preserving using the detection of accurate edge direction. Conventional intra field de-interlacing algorithms determine the edge direction at the pixel or half pixel level, so that they can be highly sensitive to noise and lead to image degradation. In this paper, the proposed algorithm first considers the edge tendency in the edge region, and then candidate direction vectors (CDVs) are selected using the modified Sobel operation through the edge tendency. Finally, the CDVs are adaptively applied to interpolate the lost pixel in the edge region. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs well with a variety of still and moving images compared with conventional intra field algorithms in the literature.
Adaptive Algorithm to Improve Trajectory Prediction Accuracy of Climbing Aircraft (2012)

Aircraft climb trajectories are difficult to predict, and large errors in these predictions reduce the potential operational benefits of some advanced concepts in the Next Generation Air Transportation System. An algorithm that dynamically adjusts modeled aircraft weights based on observed track data to improve the accuracy of trajectory predictions for climbing flights has been developed. In real-time evaluation with actual Fort Worth Center traffic, the algorithm decreased the altitude root-mean-square error by about 20%. It also reduced the root-mean-square error of predicted time at top of climb by the same amount.

Effects of Digoxinlike Immunoreactive Substances and Digoxin FAB Antibodies on the New Digoxin Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay (1997)

Digoxin-like immunoreactive substance (DLIS) is known to interfere with fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) (Digoxin II, Abbott Laboratories) and falsely elevates the total digoxin concentrations. Digoxin FAB antibody (Digibind) is also known to affect digoxin results by FPIA assay. The authors studied the effects of DLIS and Digibind on a new microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) for digoxin recently introduced by Abbott Laboratories, compared with the standard FPIA method and chemiluminescence assay (ACS-digoxin, Ciba-Corning). They studied 30 volume-expanded patients (term pregnancy, liver and renal disease) for the presence of DLIS. None of these patients received digoxin. They observed measurable DLIS concentrations in 12 of 30 patients by the FPIA assay and in only 1 patient by both MEIA and ACS assays. The concentration of DLIS in that patient was 0.31 ng/ml of digoxin equivalent by the MEIA assay, 0.36 ng/ml by the ACS assay, and 1.15 ng/ml by the FPIA assay. When they supplemented serum containing digoxin with low to high concentrations of digibind (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0, 10, and 20 µg/ml), and measured digoxin concentrations by FPIA, MEIA, and ACS assays, they observed lower than expected values of total digoxin. However, when they supplemented serum containing no digoxin with high concentration of digibind (5.0, 10.0 and 20.0 µg/ml) and supplemented protein-free ultrafiltrates with digoxin, they observed expected digoxin concentrations in the ultrafiltrates by all three assays, indicating that the ultrafiltrates are essentially free of digibind.
IPv6 RA Options for Next Hop Routes (2014)

This document proposes new Router Advertisement options for
configuring next hop routes on the mobile or fixed nodes. Using these
options, an operator can easily configure nodes with multiple
interfaces (or otherwise multi-homed) to enable them to select the
routes to a destination. Each option is defined together with
definitions of host and router behaviors. This document also proposes
the router advertisement extensions for source address dependent
routing.
Effects of Ciprostene on Restenosis Rate during Therapeutic Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (1992)

Ciprostene, a chemically stable prostacyclin analog was studied for its effects on restenosis in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing therapeutic percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). In a double-blind, randomized trial 32 patients were randomized to receive either ciprostene or the respective placebo. The infusion started intracoronarily at a rate of 40 ng/kg/min 20 min before introduction of the balloon catheter into the coronary artery. Thereafter infusion was continued intravenously for 36 hours at a rate of 120 ng/kg/min and a tapering off period until 48 hours. The quantitative analyses of the degree of coronary artery stenoses on the angiographic films before PTCA, after PTCA and after 6 month of follow-up was performed in 24 patients available. In patients receiving placebo (n = 12) coronary artery stenoses was 81 +/- 3% before PTCA and was reduced to 34 +/- 3% by angioplasty. At the 6 month follow up angiography stenoses diameter was measured as 63 +/- 8%, being not significantly different from the % stenoses before PTCA. In contrast, coronary artery stenoses in patients receiving ciprostene (n = 12) measured 83 +/- 3% before PTCA, 31 +/- 4% after PTCA and 55 +/- 9% at 6 month, being still significantly different from pre-PTCA value (P less than 0.05). When patients were characterized according to their clinical status, these differences were accounted for by patients with unstable angina receiving ciprostene. Ciprostene seems to reduce restenosis 6 month after coronary angioplasty in patients with unstable angina. The infusion rate of 40 ng/kg/min i.c. followed by 120 ng/kg/min i.v. was tolerated well, although the incidence of catheter associated bleeding was increased.

Introducing 'Conservation and Management of Buttongrass Moorland' (2008)

Buttongrass moorlands were the focus of a workshop held in Hobart in July 2007, and several presentations are included in this issue.The taxon that most characterises Buttongrass moorland 1s the tussock sedge Gymnoschoenus sphaerocephalus (Buttongrass).The genus Gymnoschoenus 1s endemic to Australia and has only two species, Gymnoschoenus sphaerocephalus and G. anceps.The first species has its greatest abundance in Tasmania, but is distributed widely in nutrient-poor, cool temperate, wet and poorly drained sites along the coastal and upland regions of eastern Australia as far north as southern Queensland.It also has a very restricted distribution in the southeast of South Australia, where it is listed as endangered.The other species, G. anceps, 1s restricted to the southwest coastal region of West Australia, where it also occurs in Swamps and seasonally wet flats.
Atomically flat gold films grown on hot glass (1992)

The results of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) study of the morphology of Au films thermally evaporated onto heated glass substrates are presented. Au films of thickness 20–80 nm were evaporated onto Corning glass cover slips at temperatures of 20–465 °C. Before the evaporation, the glass substrates were prebaked at 300–400 °C for 12 h to remove surface contamination. Grain size and surface roughness of the films have been measured, and the best results were obtained with Au films 80 nm thick evaporated onto 300 °C substrates. These films have 250-nm-diam grains with large, atomically flat tops exhibiting step-free terraces as large as 200×200 nm2. These results are comparable to the best reported results for Au grown on heated mica and show that epitaxial growth is not required for the production of films with large atomically flat regions. This study of Au on glass was motivated by failed attempts to produce flat films of gold on mica using recipes in the literature. Possible reasons for the poor results with mica are discussed.
A Self-defense Gene Homologous to Tetracycline Effluxing Gene Essential for Antibiotic Production in<i>Streptomyces aureofaciens</i> (1995)

By Northern blot analyses with DNA probes carrying 6-demethylchlortetracycline (6-DCT) biosynthetic genes from Streptomyces aureofaciens NRRL3203, a highly expressed gene (tcrC) was detected in a high titer producing mutant derived from the parental strain NRRL3203 by NTG mutagenesis. The analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the 2.8-kb BamHI fragment containing tcrC gene showed that the predicted tcrC gene product is a protein consisting of 512 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence had a high level identity with that of the self-defense gene (tet347) of Streptomyces rimosus, known to mediate oxytetracycline efflux. The tcrC gene-inactivated strains generated from strain NRRL3203 by gene replacement had a 90% decrease in the level of resistance to tetracycline and the antibiotic productivity when compared with the parental strain.

Inactivation of Efflux Pumps Abolishes Bacterial Biofilm Formation (2008)

Bacterial biofilms cause numerous problems in health care and industry; notably, biofilms are associated with a large number of infections. Biofilm-dwelling bacteria are particularly resistant to antibiotics, making it hard to eradicate biofilm-associated infections. Bacteria rely on efflux pumps to get rid of toxic substances. We discovered that efflux pumps are highly active in bacterial biofilms, thus making efflux pumps attractive targets for antibiofilm measures. A number of efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) are known. EPIs were shown to reduce biofilm formation, and in combination they could abolish biofilm formation completely. Also, EPIs were able to block the antibiotic tolerance of biofilms. The results of this feasibility study might pave the way for new treatments for biofilm-related infections and may be exploited for prevention of biofilms in general.
Segregation of Gangliosides GM1 and GD3 on Cell Membranes, Isolated Membrane Rafts, and Defined Supported Lipid Monolayers (2001)

Lateral assemblies of sphingolipids, glycosphingolipids and cholesterol, termed rafts, are postulated to be present in biological membranes and to function in important cellular phenomena. We probed whether rafts are heterogeneous by determining the relative distribution of two gangliosides, GM1 and GD3, in artificial supported monolayers, in intact rat primary cerebellar granule neurones, and in membrane rafts isolated from rat cerebellum. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) using fluorophore-labelled cholera toxin B subunit (which binds GM1) and mAb R24 (which binds GD3) revealed that GM1 spontaneously self-associates but does not co-cluster with GD3 in supported monolayers and on intact neurones. Cholera toxin and immunocytochemical labelling of isolated membrane rafts from rat cerebellum further demonstrated that GM1 does not co-localise with GD3. Furthermore, whereas the membrane raft resident proteins Lyn and caveolin both co-localise with GD3 in isolated membrane rafts, GM1 appears in separate and distinct aggregates. These data support prior reports that membrane rafts are heterogeneous, although the mechanisms for establishing and maintaining such heterogeneity remain to be determined.
Regioselective Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization of 3-Substituted Cyclooctenes with Ether Side Chains. (2016)

Allyl-substituted cyclooctenes with ether side-chains [methoxy, methoxy-terminated oligo(ethylene glycol)s, and tetrahydrofurfuryloxy group] were prepared as monomers and polymerized by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) using Grubbs second-generation catalyst. In all cases, the ROMP of allyl-substituted monomers proceeded in a regio- and stereoselective manner to afford polymers with remarkably high head-to-tail regioregularity with high trans-stereoregularity. The regio- and stereoregularity of polymers were affected by the bulkiness of the substituent, and the ROMP of tetrahydrofurfuryloxy-substituted cyclooctene exhibited nearly perfect regio- (head-to-tail = 99%) and stereoselectivity (trans-double bond = 99%). Chemical hydrogenation of obtained polymers afforded model poly(ethylene-co-vinyl ether)s with precisely placed ether branches on every eighth backbone carbon. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the thermal properties, and the hydrophilicity of polymers was evaluated by water contact angle measurement. The surface hydrophilicity of unsaturated polymers was effectively tuned by changing the side-chain length of oligo(ethylene glycol) groups while maintaining the hydrophobic character unchanged for saturated versions.
Taking proof-based verified computation a few steps closer to practicality (2012)

Abstract. We describe GINGER, a built system for unconditional, general-purpose, and nearly practical verification of outsourced computation. GINGER is based on PEPPER, which uses the PCP theorem and cryptographic techniques to implement an efficient argument system (a kind of interactive protocol). GINGER slashes query costs via protocol refinements; broadens the computational model to include (primitive) floating-point fractions, inequality comparisons, logical operations, and conditional control flow; and includes a parallel GPUbased implementation that dramatically reduces latency. 1
Numerical modeling and analytical modeling of cryogenic carbon capture in a de-sublimating heat exchanger (2017)

Both a numerical and analytical model of the heat and mass transfer processes in a CO2, N2 mixture gas de-sublimating cross-flow finned duct heat exchanger system is developed to predict the heat transferred from a mixture gas to liquid nitrogen and the de-sublimating rate of CO2 in the mixture gas. The mixture gas outlet temperature, liquid nitrogen outlet temperature, CO2 mole fraction, temperature distribution and de-sublimating rate of CO2 through the whole heat exchanger was computed using both the numerical and analytic model. The numerical model is built using EES [1] (engineering equation solver). According to the simulation, a cross-flow finned duct heat exchanger can be designed and fabricated to validate the models. The performance of the heat exchanger is evaluated as functions of dimensionless variables, such as the ratio of the mass flow rate of liquid nitrogen to the mass flow rate of inlet flue gas.

Text-to-query (2010)

Successfully structuring information in databases, OLAP cubes, and XML is a crucial element in managing data nowadays. However this process brought new challenges to usability. It is difficult for users to switch from common communication means using natural language to data models (e.g., database schemas) that are hard to work with and understand, especially for occasional users. This important issue is under intense scrutiny in the database community (e.g., keyword search over databases and query relaxation techniques), and the information extraction community (e.g., linking structured and unstructured data). However, there is still no comprehensive solution that automatically generates an OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) query and chooses a visualization based on textual content with high precision. We present such a method. We discuss how to dynamically generate interpretations of a textual content as an OLAP query, select the best visualization, and retrieve on the fly corresponding data from a data warehouse. To provide the most relevant aggregation results, we consider the user's actual context, described by a document's content. Moreover we provide a prototypical implementation of our method, the Text-To-Query system (T2Q) and show how T2Q can be successfully applied to an enterprise scenario as an extension for an office application.
Mechanisms of hormone receptor-effector coupling: the beta-adrenergic receptor and adenylate cyclase. (1982)

The beta-adrenergic receptors that are coupled to adenylate cyclase have provided a model system for studying the mechanisms by which a plasma membrane receptor is coupled to a well-defined biochemical effector. The beta 2-adrenergic receptors from frog erythrocyte membranes have been purified to homogeneity and the ligand-binding subunit has been identified as a glycoprotein with an approximate molecular weight of 58,000. This subunit has also been identified with the use of newly developed photoaffinity reagents. Under the influence of agonist hormones (H), the receptors (R) form transient complexes with another component of this system, termed the nucleotide regulatory protein (N). Formation of this ternary complex, HRN, leads to the dissociation of GDP from N and the interaction of stimulatory GTP with N. N charged with GTP appears to activate the catalytic moiety of the adenylate cyclase enzyme. Although some striking analogies have been found for the mechanisms by which inhibitory receptors interact with adenylate cyclase, much less is known about the molecular properties of the components involved and the ways in which they interact to dampen adenylate cyclase activity in the plasma membrane.
Total Denoising: Unsupervised Learning of 3D Point Cloud Cleaning (2019)

We show that denoising of 3D point clouds can be learned unsupervised, directly from noisy 3D point cloud data only. This is achieved by extending recent ideas from learning of unsupervised image denoisers to unstructured 3D point clouds. Unsupervised image denoisers operate under the assumption that a noisy pixel observation is a random realization of a distribution around a clean pixel value, which allows appropriate learning on this distribution to eventually converge to the correct value. Regrettably, this assumption is not valid for unstructured points: 3D point clouds are subject to total noise, i. e., deviations in all coordinates, with no reliable pixel grid. Thus, an observation can be the realization of an entire manifold of clean 3D points, which makes a naïve extension of unsupervised image denoisers to 3D point clouds impractical. Overcoming this, we introduce a spatial prior term, that steers converges to the unique closest out of the many possible modes on a manifold. Our results demonstrate unsupervised denoising performance similar to that of supervised learning with clean data when given enough training examples - whereby we do not need any pairs of noisy and clean training data.
