An automatic diagnostic system for CT liver image classification (1998)

Computed tomography (CT) images have been widely used for liver disease diagnosis. Designing and developing computer-assisted image processing techniques to help doctors improve their diagnosis has received considerable interests over the past years. In this paper, a CT liver image diagnostic classification system is presented which will automatically find, extract the CT liver boundary and further classify liver diseases. The system comprises a detect-before-extract (DBE) system which automatically finds the liver boundary and a neural network liver classifier which uses specially designed feature descriptors to distinguish normal liver, two types of liver tumors, hepatoma and hemageoma. The DBE system applies the concept of the normalized fractional Brownian motion model to find an initial liver boundary and then uses a deformable contour model to precisely delineate the liver boundary. The neural network is included to classify liver tumors into hepatoma and hemageoma. It is implemented by a modified probabilistic neural network (PNN) [MPNN] in conjunction with feature descriptors which are generated by fractal feature information and the gray-level co-occurrence matrix. The proposed system was evaluated by 30 liver cases and shown to be efficient and very effective.
Effective diagnostics for oil-filled equipment (2002)

The author describes an approach used in Russia to develop diagnostic techniques to assess the condition of oil-filled power equipment. He considers that the most useful parameters to estimate remaining life are the partial pressures of dissolved gases and water in the oil and the water content in the solid insulation. Gas chromatography is used to determine these parameters from oil samples taken from equipment in service.
Smart cards: integrating for portable complexity (1998)

The decreasing cost of embedded chips is one of many factors that have spurred growing interest in smart cards. Today, typical markets for smart cards fall into three broad areas: electronic currency, an application in which smart cards replace cash or traditional credit cards in pay phone, transit, and toll collection systems; electronic identification, which permits controlled access to buildings or systems (like computers or cash registers); and data warehousing, applications that must opportunistically store and retrieve data, such as medical records, object tracking information, or process verification information. Such applications are only the beginning-future applications could make smart cards an integral and almost transparent part of our daily lives. Two factors seem to be converging to make this possible. First, as the world we live in becomes increasingly complex, smart cards offer a way to integrate that complexity into a compact and portable package. Second, the increasing functionality developers can integrate into a smart card opens new avenues for application development.
The design of high performance low cost BiCMOS op-amps in a predominantly CMOS technology (2002)

This paper provides a comparative study between a BiCMOS and CMOS version of a fully balanced, fully differential operational amplifier. Both amplifiers were fabricated through MOSIS, in a process optimized for MOS devices which also provides medium performance vertical isolated NPN transistors. By utilizing simple bipolar devices, the unity gain frequency was increased from 39.19 MHz to 52.05 MHz, and the slew rate from 39.5 V//spl mu/-sec to 56.44 V//spl mu/-sec while driving a 4 pF load by going to the BiCMOS version with the same power dissipation. The performance achieved would compare favorably with that obtained from a full-fledged BiCMOS process.
Simulation of wear in overhead current collection systems (1985)

Apparatus have been designed to simulate the wear from conductors in a railway current collection system. The main features of the wear machine include a continuous monitoring of the strip wear, strip traversing, and dwell-time test facilities for the investigation of oxidational wear on a copper disk, simulating the contact wire. Disk wear is measured in situ by the spherical indentations method. Typical results of the specific wear rate are also presented to demonstrate the capability of the apparatus.
Residential Household Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring via Graph-Based Multi-Label Semi-Supervised Learning (2018)

Nonintrusive load monitoring refers to inferring what appliances are operating in a household at a given time solely from fluctuations on the main power feeder. It is one approach to demand-side management strategies in the smart grid, and most current research employs machine learning to make those inferences. However, the learning algorithms used usually require knowledge of the set of appliances active at each sample instant in addition to the main feeder fluctuations. This data is not ordinarily available in field usage. As a compromise, we examine semi-supervised learning algorithms, which only need a small sample of observed power signals annotated with active appliances (e.g., from an initial “registration” period). As multiple independent appliances may operate concurrently, we furthermore employ multilabel classification in our solution. Three new graph-based semi-supervised multilabel load monitoring algorithms are proposed and evaluated on five public datasets. We find that the best algorithm can outperform state-of-the-art results on these datasets.
3,4,5-Tricaffeoylquinic Acid Inhibits the Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Production of Inflammatory Mediators in Keratinocytes (2012)

3,4,5-triCQA may attenuate the LPS-stimulated production of inflammatory mediators in keratinocytes by suppressing the Toll-like receptor 4 expression-mediated activation of the Akt, ERK and NF-ĸB pathways. 3,4,5-triCQA may exert a preventive effect against microbial product-induced inflammatory skin diseases.
Expression of acinar and ductal products in capan-1 cells growing in synthetic serum and serum-free media (1994)

The cell line Capan-1 is expressing some ductal as well as acinar products despite its supposed ductal origin. The expression of trypsin at the mRNA level and ribonuclease at mRNA and protein levels is shown in Capan-1 cells. The protein expression will be further investigated as the cell line has been adapted to grow in synthetic serum and serum-free media with no apparent changes with respect to their growth in FBS.
AMOCO OPENS DRILLING TEST FACILITY TO INDUSTRY (1997)

Budget cuts and reductions in expense-related items forced Amoco Exploration Production Technology Group (EPTG) to gradually open its drilling technology test facility (DTTF) to external companies and to collaborations with other technology-interested institutions. This change not only allowed the DTTF to survive, but it has prospered. The facilities initially provided a low risk, cost effective environment to advance drilling and completion technology for Amoco by providing a means to rigorously test new downhole tools, fluids, and procedures. Since the inception of the new objective, the DTTF has more than doubled the work being done for external companies to a point where over half of all testing done at the facilities is for companies other than Amoco. This figure is expected to exceed 60% by the end of 1997. The paper describes the test facility and its equipment, the geology of the site, data collection, rig simulator, and accomplishments.

High‐Performance Organic Single‐Crystal Transistors on Flexible Substrates (2006)

Flexible and conformable organic single crystals as thin as 150 nm are used for fabricating mechanically bendable organic single-crystal field-effect transistors on low-cost plastic substrates (see figure and cover). We report effective field-effect mobility as high as 4.6 cm2 V–1 s–1 for a flexible rubrene single-crystal transistor, on/off ratio of ca. 106, threshold voltage of – 2.1 V, and a normalized subthreshold swing of 0.9 V nF decade–1 cm–2.

The Neurotrophins and CNTF: Two Families of Collaborative Neurotrophic Factors (1996)

Because the actions of neurotrophic factors appear distinct from those of traditional growth factors and cytokines, it was long assumed that the neurotrophic factors utilized receptors and signaling systems fundamentally different from those used by growth factors operating elsewhere in the body. Recent advances in the understanding of the structure of the receptors for neurotrophic factors have unexpectedly revealed that they are in fact similar to the receptors used by the traditional growth factors and cytokines. The expression of the receptors for the neurotrophic factors is exclusively or predominantly in the nervous system; activation of these receptors in the context of the neuron allows these factors to display distinctive actions. While the precise roles of the neurotrophic factors and their therapeutic potential in various disease states still remain to be elucidated, this review describes studies on their receptor systems, their notable biological activities in the nervous system, and recent insights provided by targeted gene disruptions.
Migration of SOAP-based services to RESTful services (2011)

Web services are designed to provide rich functionality for organizations and support interoperable interactions over a network. Web services are mainly realized in two ways: 1) SOAP-based services and 2) RESTful services. For the service providers, RESTful services can improve system flexibility, scalability, and performance as compared to the SOAP-based Web services. It is equally attractive to end users as it is consume less resources (i.e., battery, processor speed, and memory). Additionally, REST-based services do not include complex standards and heterogeneous operations; and hence are easier to consume and compose as compared to SOAP-based Web services. We provide an approach to migrate SOAP-based services to RESTful services. We identify resources from a SOAP-based Web service by analyzing its service description and mapping the contained operations to resources and HTTP methods. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, we conduct a case study on a set of publicly available SOAP-based Web services. The results of our case study show that our approach can achieve high accuracy of identifying RESTful services from the interfaces of SOAP-based services. Our approach can improve the performance for invoking Web services after SOAP-based services are migrated to RESTful services.
Some Proved and Unproved Effects of Coal Geochemistry on Liquefaction Behavior with Emphasis on U.S. Coals (1980)

1. Introductory Remarks on Coal Paleobotany, Geology and Geochemistry The purpose of the collection of papers in this volume is to review what can be said about the susceptibility to liquefaction of coals from different parts of the world. We and later authors will present data relative to coals of the areas with which we are familiar. However, with the Editor's approval, we are going to devote the first part of this paper to making some general remarks about coal geology and geochemistry, in the hope that this will provide a useful background to what comes later. 1.1 Paleobotany of Coal Origins On the evidence of coalified organs and tissues of the higher plants identifiable under the microscope in some coals (1), or petrified plan tissue found as "coal balls" in some coals (2), and on the basis of the pollen and spore content characteristic of coals, it is generally
Serum interleukin-6 level reflects the tumor proliferative activity in patients with colorectal carcinoma (1999)

The concentration of serum IL-6 in the patients was significantly higher than that in normal controls. The tissue concentration of IL-6 in tumor tissue was significantly higher than that in normal mucosa, and was correlated strongly with the serum IL-6 concentration. The serum IL-6 concentration was correlated with clinicopathologic parameters, including liver metastases and tumor size, and with proliferative activity of the tumor as assessed by the Ki-67 labeling index. In the patients with Stage I or II tumors, the preoperative serum IL-6 concentration was reduced significantly 3 months after surgery. Immunohistochemically, tumor tissues that expressed IL-6 immunoreactivity had a higher incidence of expression of IL-6 receptor immunoreactivity. CONCLUSIONS. Serum IL-6 concentration reflects IL-6 concentration in the tumor component and may reflect the proliferative activity of the tumor in patients with colorectal carcinoma.
Quality of Life for Children With Otitis Media (1997)

The OM-6 is a valid, reliable, and responsive measure of quality of life for children with otitis media. The brevity and ease of administration make the OM-6 ideal for use in outcomes studies, clinical trials, and routine clinical care.
헌법재판소법 제39조에 대한 헌법소원 심판청구의 청구기간의 기산점 (2012)

Whenever a complainant repeatedly files the same constitutional complaint against the Article 39 of the Constitutional Court Act, the Constitutional Court newly counts the time limit for filing constitutional complaint from the date of the latest complaint. Thus, Constitutional Court would dismiss constitutional complaint for which the filing time limit may have lapse, if the filing time limit were determined on the basis of the previous constitutional complaint. This attitude of the Constitutional Court goes against its established judicial precedent about the time limit for filing constitutional complaint against statute which says that if a reason arises under the law and thus the filing period begins, then even if another reason thereafter newly arises under the law, a new filing period cannot be seen as continuing. Such an attitude also goes against the purpose of establishing a filing period provision for constitutional complaint, as complainants can repeatedly dispute Article 39 of the Act without being bound by the filing time limit. Thus, the Constitutional Court should determine the beginning date of filing period on the basis of the initial constitutional complaint against Article 39 of the Act, and should decide to dismiss the later constitutional complaint for which the filing period have elapse.
Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the Staphylococcus aureus phospho-beta-galactosidase gene (1987)

We sequenced the Staphylococcus aureus phospho-beta-galactosidase gene. The protein product of this gene consisted of 470 amino acids, giving a molecular weight of 54,557. This gene appears to be transcribed as the terminal sequence on a polycistronic message.
Polyglutamine Induced Misfolding of Huntingtin Exon1 is Modulated by the Flanking Sequences (2010)

Polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in exon1 (XN1) of the huntingtin protein is linked to Huntington's disease. When the number of glutamines exceeds a threshold of approximately 36-40 repeats, XN1 can readily form amyloid aggregates similar to those associated with disease. Many experiments suggest that misfolding of monomeric XN1 plays an important role in the length-dependent aggregation. Elucidating the misfolding of a XN1 monomer can help determine the molecular mechanism of XN1 aggregation and potentially help develop strategies to inhibit XN1 aggregation. The flanking sequences surrounding the polyQ region can play a critical role in determining the structural rearrangement and aggregation mechanism of XN1. Few experiments have studied XN1 in its entirety, with all flanking regions. To obtain structural insights into the misfolding of XN1 toward amyloid aggregation, we perform molecular dynamics simulations on monomeric XN1 with full flanking regions, a variant missing the polyproline regions, which are hypothesized to prevent aggregation, and an isolated polyQ peptide (Q(n)). For each of these three constructs, we study glutamine repeat lengths of 23, 36, 40 and 47. We find that polyQ peptides have a positive correlation between their probability to form a beta-rich misfolded state and their expansion length. We also find that the flanking regions of XN1 affect its probability to form a beta-rich state compared to the isolated polyQ. Particularly, the polyproline regions form polyproline type II helices and decrease the probability of the polyQ region to form a beta-rich state. Additionally, by lengthening polyQ, the first N-terminal 17 residues are more likely to adopt a beta-sheet conformation rather than an alpha-helix conformation. Therefore, our molecular dynamics study provides a structural insight of XN1 misfolding and elucidates the possible role of the flanking sequences in XN1 aggregation.
Microbial Metabolites of Ophiobolin A and Antimicrobial Evaluation of Ophiobolins (1995)

Ophiobolin A [1], 3-anhydroophiobolin A [2], ophiobolin B [3], and ophiobolin L [4] were isolated from fermentation broths of Cochliobolus heterostrophus. Preliminary screening showed that a number of organisms were capable of metabolizing the sesterterpene ophiobolin A [1]. Large-scale transformations of ophiobolin A [1] with Polyangium cellulosum produced 6 and 7 while Pseudomonas aeruginosa produced 8. Resting-cell preparations of Penicillium patulum afforded 9 and 10. The structures of these metabolites were established by spectroscopic methods and by comparison of the spectral data with those of the starting material. The antimicrobial activity of the ophiobolins was also evaluated.
Supplemental Lighting Orientation and Red-to-blue Ratio of Light-emitting Diodes for Greenhouse Tomato Production (2014)

Current greenhouse supplemental lighting technology uses broad-spectrum high-pressure sodium lamps (HPS) that, despite being an excellent luminous source, are not the most efficient light source for plant production. Specific light frequencies in the 400- to 700-nm range have been shown to affect photosynthesis more directly than other wavelengths (especially in the red and blue ranges). Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) could diminish lighting costs as a result of their high efficiency, lower operating temperatures, and wavelength specificity. LEDs can be selected to target the wavelengths used by plants, enabling growers to customize the light produced, to enable maximum plant production and limit wavelengths that do not significantly impact plant growth. In our experiment, hydroponically grown tomato plants ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) were grown using a full factorial design with three light intensities (high: 135 μmol·m −2 ·s −1 , medium: 115 μmol·m −2 ·s −1 , and low: 100 μmol·m −2 ·s −1 ) at three red (661 nm) to blue (449 nm) ratio levels (5:1, 10:1, and 19:1). Secondary treatments for comparison were 100% HPS, 100% red LED light supplied from above the plant, 100% red LED light supplied below the plant, a 50%:50% LED:HPS mixture, and a control (no supplemental lighting). Both runs of the experiment lasted 120 days during the Summer–Fall 2011 and the Winter–Spring 2011–12. The highest biomass production (excluding fruit) occurred with the 19:1 ratio (red to blue) with increasing intensity resulting in more growth, whereas a higher fruit production was obtained using the 5:1 ratio. The highest marketable fruit production (fruit over 90 g) was obtained with the 50%:50% LED:HPS followed by 5:1 high and 19:1 high. Consistently the 5:1 high performed well in every category. LEDs have been shown to be superior in fruit production over HPS alone, and LEDs can improve tomato fruit production when mixed with HPS. LEDs provide a promising mechanism to enhance greenhouse artificial lighting systems.
A Process to Synthesize (Mn,Co)[sub 3]O[sub 4] Spinel Coatings for Protecting SOFC Interconnect Alloys (2010)

A novel process to synthesize the spinel coating for protecting ferritic interconnect alloys used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stacks has been developed, which is based on thermal conversion of an electrolytically codeposited composite layer. Simultaneous electrolytic deposition of Co and onto a Crofer 22 APU substrate resulted in a composite coating layer consisting of a Co matrix embedded with particles. Thermal conversion of the as-deposited layer in air at led to the formation of a dense and adherent spinel coating on the substrate. The spinel coating was effective in blocking Cr migration and improving the electrical performance of the interconnect alloy.
