Research activities in automotive radar (2002)

High performance automotive radar systems are currently under development for various applications. Comfort systems like adaptive cruise control (ACC) are already available on the market as 77 GHz radars. Target range and velocity are measured simultaneously with high resolution and accuracy even in multi-target situations. Future developments will be more concentrated on safety applications like collision avoidance (CA) or autonomous driving (AD). In this case, the requirements for reliability (extreme low false alarm rate) and reaction time (extreme short delay) are much higher compared with ACC systems. To meet all these system requirements, specific waveform design techniques must be considered. For ACC systems, both radar types of classical pulse waveform with ultra short pulse length (10 ns) or alternatively continuous wave (CW) transmit signal with a bandwidth of 150 MHz are considered. The main advantage of CW systems in comparison with classical pulse waveforms is the low measurement time and low computation complexity even for a high range resolution system requirement. The paper describes two different radar systems, one in the 24 GHz domain designed as a radar network with distributed sensors and an ACC radar system in the 77 GHz domain.
Comparison Between Rain Gage and Lysimeter Measurements (1969)

Rain gage data were compared with ground level precipitation as determined with a highly sensitive weighing lysimeter 20 feet in diameter. Rain gages of various types were tested in the Central Valley of California during twenty‐four storms in the 1966–1968 rainfall seasons. Rainfall totals for each storm as measured by the lysimeter and by several rain gages in its vicinity were compared by regression analysis. Wind effects on a standing gage seemed unimportant, since agreement was close between a standard 8‐inch rain gage mounted in the normal standing position and a USSR 3000‐square‐centimeter rain gage mounted at ground level. Storm totals from these two gages spaced about ten feet apart averaged 4% higher than catches measured 450 feet away by the lysimeter and a Fischer and Porter digitizing rain gage spaced about 10 feet apart. Fischer and Porter gage storm catch values varied generally about the mean value of the lysimeter data. The coinciding means of all of the data from these two instruments suggest that wind effects compensate over the period of storms studied.
Cholecystokinin, dopamine and schizophrenia. (1990)

Immunoreactive-cholecystokinin (CCK) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was examined in 11 drug-free DSM-III schizophrenic patients and 6 age-matched controls. CSF CCK was significantly lower (p less than .002) in schizophrenic subjects than in controls and was significantly lower (p less than .01) in male than female schizophrenic subjects. CSF CCK was significantly lower (p less than .04) in schizophrenic subjects whose antipsychotic response was delayed 28 or more days after initiation of haloperidol compared with earlier drug responders. CCK appears to be required for neuroleptic-induced depolarization-inactivation of dopamine neurons and associated antipsychotic response; therefore, schizophrenic patients with low CCK may be resistant to the antipsychotic effects of neuroleptics.
Characterization and biological activity studies on some transition metal complexes of thiosemicarbazide derived from 2-picolinic acid hydrazide (2014)

Mixed-ligand bivalent transition metal ion complexes with N -ethyl-2-picolinoyl hydrazinecarbothioamide (EPHC) and 1,10-phenanthroline (1,10-phen) have been synthesized. The complexes namely [Cu(EPHC)(1,10-phen)(Cl)H 2 O] (1), [Ni(EPHC)(1,10-phen)(Cl)H 2 O] (2), [Mn(EPHC)(1,10-phen)(Cl)H 2 O] (3) and [Co(EPHC)(1,10-phen)(Cl)H 2 O] (4) were characterized by elemental analysis, spectral (IR, 1 H NMR and UV-Vis) and magnetic moment measurements. The magnetic and spectral data indicates octahedral structure for all complexes. Metal complexes have been modeled using parameterized PM3 semi-empirical method. The free ligand and its M(II)-chelates have been screened for their antimicrobial activities. The antibacterial screening demonstrated that, the Cu(II) complex have the maximum and broad activities among the investigated complexes.
Design of Machinery (2003)

Design of Machinery by Robert L. Norton 3rd Edition, McGraw-Hill, 2004. While accepting the 2002 Machine Design Award presented by the Design Engineering Division of ASME, Robert Norton argued passionately for the preservation of a machine theory course as the gateway to a mechanical design curriculum. The days of separate courses on kinematics, dynamics, and the design of machinery, followed by a project course seem long gone for many university programs, and Professor Norton meets this challenge directly with the third edition of his book. From beginning to end he focuses attention on design including many project ideas, as he presents the analysis and synthesis of machine systems constructed from gears, cams and linkages. The result is 850 well-written pages packed with useful examples and illustrations. The material covered in this book includes the fundamentals of design, the kinematics of mechanisms, as well as force analysis in machines. Graphical techniques for both analysis and synthesis build visualization and insight to the meaning of the algebraic formulations, and the complex vector approach provides a compact notation for the study of planar machines. I like his matrix form of force analysis because it reflects a modern approach to machine analysis. A candidate design requires analysis to measure performance, but even the simple slider-crank is a nonlinear problem solved by the intersection of a circle with a line. The iterative analysis of these nonlinear problems is a job for computer-based tools. Professor Norton responds by providing a CD with Working Model and by my count about 150 example files, TKSolver with about 30 examples, and some 100 examples of his own programs and handouts. This patchwork of software is a valiant attempt to fill a critical need for software tools for machine theory education. Most engineers use a computer for analysis, drawing, and report generation, so why are computer algebra, drawing and animation not more a part of our machine theory curriculum? This book is clearly the result of an ongoing commitment to excellence in engineering education. The sequence and scope of the topics and examples are tailored to maintain relevance to students. The content is also broad enough to be shaped to meet the needs of a wide range of introductory courses, which, in some cases, may be the only course on machines. I am pleased to recommend this book to my university colleagues, and to working engineers, who are looking for an excellent introduction to machine theory.
Reliability-Aware Resource Allocation and Binding in High-Level Synthesis (2016)

Soft error is nowadays a major reliability issue for nanoscale VLSI, and addressing it during high-level synthesis is essential to improve the efficiency of error mitigation. Motivated by the observation that for behavioral designs, especially control-flow intensive ones, variables and operations have non-uniform soft error vulnerabilities, we propose a novel reliability-aware allocation and binding technique to explore more effective soft error mitigation during high level synthesis. We first perform a comprehensive vulnerability analysis at the behavioral level by considering error propagation and masking in both control and data flows. Then the optimizations based on integer linear programming, as well as heuristic algorithm, are employed to incorporate the behavioral vulnerabilities into the register and functional unit binding phases to achieve cost-efficient error mitigation. The experimental results reveal that compared with the previous techniques which ignored behavioral vulnerabilities, the proposed approach can achieve up to 85% reliability improvement with the same amount of area budget in the RTL design.
Synthesis and Photoluminescence of a Novel Iridium Complex (BuPhOXD)2Ir(acac) with Unit of 1,3,4-Oxadiazole (2005)

A novel cyclometalated iridium complex with 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety was synthesized and characterized. Its UV and photoluminescent properties were studied. The strong UV absorption intensity around 462 nm attributed to spin-forbidden triplet metal-ligand charge transfer band and photoluminescence at 518 nm were observed. This indicated that achieved iridium complex could be used as an efficient electrophosphorescent material.
The institutional foundation of China's economic growth (2010)

China's economic growth is (undoubtedly, undeniably, unquestionably) regarded as a miracle due to the changes it has brought to the lives of the Chinese as well as to the global economic structure. This paper analyzes China's economic growth from the perspective of institutional reforms. The main argument is that, through the redefinition of property rights, the operation costs of China's planned economy under full public ownership have been reduced dramatically. Human resources have greatly improved in terms of productivity and creativity, thus providing China with competitive advantages in the global market.
A dual gate flash EEPROM cell with two-bits storage capacity (2002)

In this paper, a dual-gate flash EEPROM cell is proposed which allows the storage of two bits at the expense of a slight increase in cell size. Extensive simulations show that the basic functions of the flash cell, namely reading, programming and erasing are possible with a suitable setting of the applied voltages. A simplified model based on the equivalent circuit of the cell allows a qualitative interpretation of the obtained results, and is of great help for the optimization of the cell parameters.
Geodesic paths on triangular meshes (2004)

We present a new algorithm to compute a geodesic path over a triangulated surface. Based on Sethian's (1996) fast marching method and Polthier's (1998) straightest geodesics theory, we are able to generate an iterative process to obtain a good discrete geodesic approximation. It can handle convex and nonconvex surfaces as well.

Enhancement by dimethyl sulfoxide of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-induced differentiation in human promyelocytic HL-60 leukemia cells requires dimethyl sulfoxide-induced G0/G1 arrest. (2002)

We investigated the induction of differentiation in human promyelocytic HL-60 leukemia cells by a relatively low concentration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). The cells were markedly induced to differentiate by combined treatment with reduced concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 1,25(OH)2D3, neither of which alone had much of an effect on differentiation. At 48 hr post-treatment, a greater proportion of DMSO- and DMSO/1,25(OH)2D3-treated, but not 1,25(OH)2D3-treated, cells were in G0/G1 than untreated cells. Our study indicates that the synergistic effect of DMSO and 1,25(OH)2D3 on the induction of differentiation in HL-60 cells requires DMSO-induced G0/G1 arrest.
A Dynamical Trajectory-Based Methodology for Systematically Computing Multiple Optimal Solutions of General Nonlinear Programming Problems (2004)

In this paper, a novel dynamical trajectory-based methodology is developed for systematically computing multiple local optimal solutions of general nonlinear programming problems with disconnected feasible components satisfying nonlinear equality/inequality constraints. The proposed methodology, deterministic in nature, exploits trajectories of two different nonlinear dynamical systems to find multiple local optimal solutions. The methodology consists of two phases: Phase I starts from an arbitrary (infeasible) initial point and finds systematically multiple or all the disconnected feasible components; Phase II finds an adjacent local optimal solution from a local optimum via a decomposition point, thereby systematically locating multiple local optimal solutions which lie within each feasible component found in Phase I. By alternating between these two phases, the methodology locates multiple or all the local optimal solutions which lie in all the disconnected feasible components. A theoretical foundation for the proposed methodology is also developed. The methodology is illustrated with a numerical example with promising results.

Comparative Cataloging of 16S Ribosomal Ribonucleic Acid: Molecular Approach to Procaryotic Systematics (1977)

A taxonomy for Bacillus subtilis, B. megaterium, B. cereus, B. pumilus, B. pasteurii, B. stearothermophilus, and Sporosarcina ureae has been constructed from comparisons of T1 ribonuclease digests of their respective 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acids. This molecular approach to systematics is shown to give results in essential agreement with traditional techniques for this group of organisms. In addition, the technique appears well suited for higher order classification, an area which has been difficult to approach with traditional techniques.
Autogenous vein graft as a conduit for nerve regeneration. (1982)

This study was performed to determine whether vein grafts might serve as a conduit for nerve regeneration. A 1 cm segment of sciatic nerve was removed bilaterally in 12 Sprague-Dawley rats. On one side the gap was not repaired, and on the other side a segment of femoral vein was used to bridge the nerve gap. Nerve conduction studies and necropsies were performed at intervals. Reconstitution of nerve trunk continuity and healing of plantar ulcers occurred only in the vein-grafted side. Histologic examination revealed orderly growth of nerve fibers within the lumen of the vein grafts as early as 1 month after repair. Most regenerating nerve fibers passed through the proximal junction in an orderly pattern and reached the distal stumps within 2 months after repair. Results of nerve conduction study at 4 months after operation demonstrated restoration of conduction through the vein-grafted sciatic nerves with muscle reinnervation. Nearly normal muscle fibers in the gastrocnemius on the repaired side were confirmed at necropsy. This study demonstrated that autogenous vein grafts can serve as a conduit for nerve regeneration in rodents.
Have the bloody cells gone to our heads? (2001)

Recent studies have shown that cells expressing neuronal antigens can be derived from a bone marrow transplant. A new report lends support to and extends these previous results by presenting compelling morphological evidence for the generation and integration of highly differentiated bone marrow-derived neurons.
New SRLG-diverse path selection algorithm in survivable GMPLS networks (2009)

In conventional shared risk link group (SRLG)-diverse path selection (CSPS) algorithm in survivable GMPLS networks, SRLG is taken into account when selecting the backup paths, while the primary path selection method is the same as the algorithms without SRLG constraint. A problem of CSPS algorithm is that, after a primary path is selected, the success probability to select an SRLG-diverse backup path for it is low. If SRLG is taken into account when computing the primary path, then the probability to successfully select an SRLG-diverse backup path will be much increased. Based on this idea, an active SRLG-diverse path selection (ASPS) algorithm is proposed. To actively avoid selecting those SRLG links, when computing the primary path, a link that share risk with more links is assigned a larger link cost. To improve the resource utilization ratio, it is permitted that the bandwidth resources are shared among backup paths. What is more, differentiated reliability (DiR) requirements of different customers are considered in ASPS algorithm. The simulation results show that, compared with CSPS algorithm, ASPS algorithm not only increases successful protection probability but also improves resource utilization ratio.
Infection of the minor vestibular gland. (1983)

Infection of the minor vestibular gland has been a poorly identified entity. Recognition of these glands and the contribution they may make, if chronically infected, to vulvar pain and dyspareunia are presented.
Optical and magneto-optical properties of nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite films (1996)

The absorption coefficients and the Faraday rotation spectra of nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite thin films were determined in the visible–near infrared range. The films prepared by rf sputtering in an Ar–O2 atmosphere display magnetic and structural properties which differ from those of the bulk material. Optical and magneto-optical transitions observed in the films are identified by comparing our spectra with those obtained with well characterized bulk materials. In the bulk, cations with an octahedral environment (point group 3̄m) locate on a center of symmetry and the corresponding optical transitions have a very small oscillator strength. In the films, these transitions may lead to a large absorption coefficient. One absorption band appears that cannot be identified on the basis of the symmetry properties of the bulk material. The observed absorption spectra may be explained, however, if some of the cations have one of the following symmetry point groups: 4, 422, and 32. The Faraday rotation spectra show that: (1) the magnetic disorder increases when the oxygen to argon ratio is increased, (2) the disorder influences the cations on both tetrahedral and octahedral sites of the spinel structure.
Managing Uncertainty within Value Function Approximation in Reinforcement Learning (2010)

The dilemma between exploration and exploitation is an important topic in reinforcement learning (RL). Most successful approaches in addressing this problem tend to use some uncertainty information about values estimated during learning. On another hand, scalability is known as being a lack of RL algorithms and value function approximation has become a major topic of research. Both problems arise in realworld applications, however few approaches allow approximating the value function while maintaining uncertainty information about estimates. Even fewer use this information in the purpose of addressing the exploration/ exploitation dilemma. In this paper, we show how such an uncertainty information can be derived from a Kalman-based Temporal Differences (KTD) framework. An active learning scheme for a second-order value-iteration-like algorithm (named KTDQ) is proposed. We also suggest adaptations of several existing exploration/exploitation dilemma schemes. This is a first step towards global handling of continuous state and action spaces and exploration/exploitation dilemma.
소프트볼 코치의 리더십 유형과 성원만족성취동기 및 집단응집력의 관계 (2003)

이 연구의 목적은 소프트볼 코치의 리더십 유형과 성원만족, 성취동기 및 집단응집력의 관계를 규명하는데 있다. 전국 10개 팀의 등록선수 중 동일한 코치와 동일한 팀에서 1년 이상의 소속 경험이 있는 선수 전원을 대상으로 선수의 개인적 특성, 코치의 리더십 행동유형, 성원만족, 성취동기, 집단응집력에 관해 자기평가기입법으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 일원변량분석과 중다회귀분석법 그리고 경로분석을 통하여 분석한 결과 선수의 개인적인 특성은 성원만족, 성취동기, 집단응집력에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 따라서 코치의 리더십 행동유형은 성원만족과 성취동기를 통하여 집단응집력에 직?간접적으로 영향을 미침으로써 관련 변인 간에 인과적인 관계가 내재해 있다고 할 수 있다.
Expression of human 5‐lipoxygenase cDNA in <i>Escherichia coli</i> (1989)

A cDNA for human 5-lipoxygenase (5LO) was inserted into the vector pKC (constructed from pKK223-3 by replacing its replication origin with that of pUC18) and expressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme expressed was purified to homogeneity from the cellular soluble fraction. The purified enzyme showed both 5LO and leukotriene A4 synthase activities, which were stimulated by Ca2+ and ATP. Its molecular mass (78 kDa) and NH2-terminal sequence were identical with those of 5LO purified from human leukocytes. The availability of the expression system will facilitate further studies on its regulation and the reaction mechanism of the enzyme.
