Discovery & Refinement of Scientific Information via a Recommender System (2012)

The ability to maintain awareness within a field of research has been a hallmark of scientific expertise for centuries. As diverse scientific information becomes available through various Internet sources, not merely conference proceedings and journals, maintaining scientific awareness becomes a significant challenge. One challenge is how to discover sources that may be of interest. A second challenge lies in finding significant information over many sources. Scanning through hundreds of posts, feeds, and articles a day is very time consuming and error prone. Our approach uses a set of author published papers as seed documents to recommend documents of interest across various Internet sources. This enables 1) discovery of new sources that may be of interest, and 2) refine the information within a source to only the most relevant.
Rule of Thirds Detection from Photograph (2011)

The rule of thirds is one of the most important composition rules used by photographers to create high-quality photos. The rule of thirds states that placing important objects along the imagery thirds lines or around their intersections often produces highly aesthetic photos. In this paper, we present a method to automatically determine whether a photo respects the rule of thirds. Detecting the rule of thirds from a photo requires semantic content understanding to locate important objects, which is beyond the state of the art. This paper makes use of the recent saliency and generic objectness analysis as an alternative and accordingly designs a range of features. Our experiment with a variety of saliency and generic objectness methods shows that an encouraging performance can be achieved in detecting the rule of thirds from photos.

Penile Scarring with Intracavernous Injection Therapy Using Prostaglandin E1: A Risk Factor Analysis (1996)

Penile scarring with prostaglandin E1 injection therapy is sporadic and unpredictable. Patients with initial penile scarring do not have a higher incidence of further scarring.
Assisting Concept Location in Software Comprehension. (2007)

Abstract. Concept location, the problem of associating human oriented concepts with their counterpart solution domain concepts, is a fundamental problem that lies at the heart of software comprehension. Recent research has attempted to alleviate the impact of the concept location problem through the application of methods drawn from the Information Retrieval (IR) community. Here we present a new approach based on a complimentary IR method which also has a sound basis in cognitive theory. We compare our approach to related work through an experiment and present our conclusions.... 1
Heterojunction bipolar transistors with hydrogenated amorphous silicon contacts on crystalline silicon (2012)

Heterojunction bipolar transistors with hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) contact layers on crystalline silicon (c-Si) substrates are reported. In particular, current gains exceeding 500 were achieved by heterojunction contacts further including embedded homo-junctions comprised of hydrogenated crystalline silicon (c-Si:H), having thicknesses much shorter than the diffusion length of minority carriers. The a-Si:H and c-Si:H layers were grown by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition at temperatures close to 200°C.
Evaluation of Intangibles‐A Case Study (1974)

Evaluation of intangible factors bearing on water‐project planning continues to be a problem. A simplified procedure is described that was developed to evaluate such factors leading to the selection of pipelines rather than canals for a proposed aqueduct system serving the Contra Costa County (Calif.) Water Dist. *
Sustained Reduction of the Dengue Vector Population Resulting from an Integrated Control Strategy Applied in Two Brazilian Cities (2013)

Aedes aegypti has developed evolution-driven adaptations for surviving in the domestic human habitat. Several trap models have been designed considering these strategies and tested for monitoring this efficient vector of Dengue. Here, we report a real-scale evaluation of a system for monitoring and controlling mosquito populations based on egg sampling coupled with geographic information systems technology. The SMCP-Aedes, a system based on open technology and open data standards, was set up from March/2008 to October/2011 as a pilot trial in two sites of Pernambuco -Brazil: Ipojuca (10,000 residents) and Santa Cruz (83,000), in a joint effort of health authorities and staff, and a network of scientists providing scientific support. A widespread infestation by Aedes was found in both sites in 2008-2009, with 96.8%-100% trap positivity. Egg densities were markedly higher in SCC than in Ipojuca. A 90% decrease in egg density was recorded in SCC after two years of sustained control pressure imposed by suppression of >7,500,000 eggs and >3,200 adults, plus larval control by adding fishes to cisterns. In Ipojuca, 1.1 million mosquito eggs were suppressed and a 77% reduction in egg density was achieved. This study aimed at assessing the applicability of a system using GIS and spatial statistic analysis tools for quantitative assessment of mosquito populations. It also provided useful information on the requirements for reducing well-established mosquito populations. Results from two cities led us to conclude that the success in markedly reducing an Aedes population required the appropriate choice of control measures for sustained mass elimination guided by a user-friendly mosquito surveillance system. The system was able to support interventional decisions and to assess the program's success. Additionally, it created a stimulating environment for health staff and residents, which had a positive impact on their commitment to the dengue control program.
D, L-Sulforaphane Loaded Fe3O4@ Gold Core Shell Nanoparticles: A Potential Sulforaphane Delivery System (2016)

A novel design of gold-coated iron oxide nanoparticles was fabricated as a potential delivery system to improve the efficiency and stability of d, l-sulforaphane as an anticancer drug. To this purpose, the surface of gold-coated iron oxide nanoparticles was modified for sulforaphane delivery via furnishing its surface with thiolated polyethylene glycol-folic acid and thiolated polyethylene glycol-FITC. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by different techniques such as FTIR, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The average diameters of the synthesized nanoparticles before and after sulforaphane loading were obtained ∼ 33 nm and ∼ 38 nm, respectively, when ∼ 2.8 mmol/g of sulforaphane was loaded. The result of cell viability assay which was confirmed by apoptosis assay on the human breast cancer cells (MCF-7 line) as a model of in vitro-cancerous cells, proved that the bare nanoparticles showed little inherent cytotoxicity, whereas the sulforaphane-loaded nanoparticles were cytotoxic. The expression rate of the anti-apoptotic genes (bcl-2 and bcl-xL), and the pro-apoptotic genes (bax and bak) were quantified, and it was found that the expression rate of bcl-2 and bcl-xL genes significantly were decreased when MCF-7 cells were incubated by sulforaphane-loaded nanoparticles. The sulforaphane-loaded into the designed gold-coated iron oxide nanoparticles, acceptably induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells.
Combinatorial construction of high rate runlength-limited codes (2002)

New combinatorial construction techniques are proposed which convert binary user information into a (0,k) constrained sequence having the virtue that at most k 'zeroes' between logical 'ones' will occur. In this way sequences are constructed which have a limited runlength. These codes find application in optical and magnetic recording systems. The new construction methods provide efficient, high rate codes with a low complexity. The low complex combinatorial structure of the encoder and the decoder ensure a very fast and efficient parallel conversion of binary information to codewords and vice versa. Specifically, we present the combinatorial structures to convert 16 data bits into a 17 bit constrained sequence to obtain an optimum (0,4) code, a (0,6) code with at most one byte error propagation, and a (0,6/6)-code, respectively. Serious error propagation is avoided by using constrained codes with several unconstrained positions, which are reserved to store the parity bits of an error control code which protects the constrained codeword.
An improved method for AMR-WB speech codec (2012)

an improved method is proposed to skip the lookahead period in this paper. The improved method uses the autocorrelation algorithm to calculate the Linear Prediction (LP) coefficients and then the LP coefficients are employed to extrapolate new samples for replacing the look-ahead samples.
Identification and characterization of a baculovirus occlusion body glycoprotein which resembles spheroidin, an entomopoxvirus protein (1990)

A 37-kDa polypeptide specified by Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus was found to share significant homology with Choristoneura biennis entomopoxyvirus spheroidin protein, which is the major component of entomopoxvirus occlusion bodies. Antibodies raised against spheroidin cross-reacted with the 37-kDa protein and confirmed its expression in the late phase of wild-type baculovirus infection. Immunoblot analysis and fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that the protein was associated with purified A. californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus occlusion bodies and was absent in purified virions. Immunofluorescence studies localized the protein to the periphery of occlusion bodies and the internal membranes of cells infected with wild-type baculovirus. The open reading frame encoding this spheroidinlike protein was inserted into a baculovirus expression vector, and recombinant protein was synthesized under control of the polyhedrin promoter. Studies of the recombinant protein demonstrated that it was heterogeneous in molecular mass as a result of N-linked glycosylation. Tunicamycin inhibited carbohydrate addition and yielded proteins of 34 and 33 kDa.
Does health tourism exist in the UK (1989)

When the theme of the conference was first announced, the term ‘Thermalisme’ was used. We wondered, ‘What is Thermalisme?’ We looked in an English dictionary, but without success ‐ the term was not given. So we started looking further afield. We thought that thermalisme suggests thermal, which in turn lead us to think of thermal springs, which implies spas ‐ perhaps' Eventually we found an article by Cohen (1974) which asks the question ‘Who Is A Tourist?’ In this article, Cohen lists eight ‘partial tourist rôles’ (p. 541), one of which is:
People Capability Maturity Model. SM. (1995)

Abstract : The People Capability Maturity Model(sm) (P-CMM(sm)) adapts the maturity framework of the Capability Maturity Model(sm) for Software (CMM(sm)) (Paulk 95) to managing and developing an organization's workforce. The motivation for the P-CMM is to radically improve the ability of software organizations to attract, develop, motivate, organize, and retain the talent needed to continuously improve software development capability. The P-CMM is designed to allow software organizations to integrate workforce improvement with software process improvement programs guided by the CMM. The P-CMM can also be used by any kind of organization as a guide for improving its people-related and workforce practices. Based on the best current practices in fields such as human resources and organizational development, the P-CMM provides organizations with guidance on how to gain control of their processes for managing and developing their workforce. The P-CMM helps organizations to characterize the maturity of their workforce practices, guide a program of continuous workforce development, set priorities for immediate actions, integrate workforce development with process improvement, and establish a culture of software engineering excellence. It describes an evolutionary improvement path from ad hoc, inconsistently performed practices, to a mature, disciplined development of the knowledge, skills, and motivation of the workforce, just as the CMM describes an evolutionary improvement path for the software processes within an organization.
Silicon Nanowire-Induced Maturation of Cardiomyocytes Derived from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (2015)

The current inability to derive mature cardiomyocytes from human pluripotent stem cells has been the limiting step for transitioning this powerful technology into clinical therapies. To address this, scaffold-based tissue engineering approaches have been utilized to mimic heart development in vitro and promote maturation of cardiomyocytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells. While scaffolds can provide 3D microenvironments, current scaffolds lack the matched physical/chemical/biological properties of native extracellular environments. On the other hand, scaffold-free, 3D cardiac spheroids (i.e., spherical-shaped microtissues) prepared by seeding cardiomyocytes into agarose microwells were shown to improve cardiac functions. However, cardiomyocytes within the spheroids could not assemble in a controlled manner and led to compromised, unsynchronized contractions. Here, we show, for the first time, that incorporation of a trace amount (i.e., ∼0.004% w/v) of electrically conductive silicon nanowires (e-SiNWs) in otherwise scaffold-free cardiac spheroids can form an electrically conductive network, leading to synchronized and significantly enhanced contraction (i.e., >55% increase in average contraction amplitude), resulting in significantly more advanced cellular structural and contractile maturation.
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF PROTOCATECHUIC ACID. (2016)

Protocatechuic acid (3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, PCA) is a simple phenolic acid. It is found in a large variety of edible plants and possesses various pharmacological activities. This article aims to review the modern trends in phytochemical isolation and extraction of PCA from plants and other natural resources. Moreover, this article also encompasses pharmacological and biological activities of PCA. It is well known to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-hyperglycemia, antibacterial, anticancer, anti-ageing, anti-athro- genic, anti-tumoral, anti-asthma, antiulcer, antispasmodic and neurological properties.
Separation of peptide groups with definite characteristics from enzymatic protein hydrolysate. (1991)

For producing peptides with definite characteristics from a casein hydrolysate treated consecutively with thermolysin and papain, the hydrolysate was separated through two chromatographic steps into four peptide groups with high or low contents of aromatic amino acids (AAA) and branched chain amino acids (BCAA). The hydrolysate was first separated into AAA-poor and -rich peptide groups (one-half and 3 to 4 times as high as the AAA content of the hydrolysate) by both a conventional batch chromatography with Sephadex G-15 and a continuous one, with the same resin, of a simulated moving-bed type. The AAA-poor peptide group was further separated into a BCAA-rich (about 1.5-fold) peptide group and another one with an increased content of hydrophilic amino acids by batch chromatography with Toyopearl HW-40S.
DIODE: A Dense Indoor and Outdoor DEpth Dataset (2019)

We introduce DIODE, a dataset that contains thousands of diverse high resolution color images with accurate, dense, long-range depth measurements. DIODE (Dense Indoor/Outdoor DEpth) is the first public dataset to include RGBD images of indoor and outdoor scenes obtained with one sensor suite. This is in contrast to existing datasets that focus on just one domain/scene type and employ different sensors, making generalization across domains difficult. The dataset is available for download at http://diode-dataset.org
PITALRE, the Catalytic Subunit of TAK, Is Required for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Tat Transactivation In Vivo (1998)

The human cdc2-related kinase PITALRE is the catalytic component of TAK, the Tat-associated kinase. Previously, we have proposed that TAK is a cellular factor that mediates Tat transactivation function. Here we demonstrate that transient overexpression of PITALRE specifically squelches Tat-1 activation of both a transfected and an integrated human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) long terminal repeat (LTR), suggesting that PITALRE mediates Tat function as a multiprotein complex. A catalytic mutant of PITALRE, D167N, was found to be more efficient than wild-type PITALRE in squelching Tat transactivation. Neither wild-type PITALRE nor D167N was able to squelch transactivation of the human T-cell leukemia type 1 LTR by the Tax protein. Additionally, we show that artificial targeting of PITALRE to a nascent RNA element, in the absence of Tat, activated HIV-1 LTR expression. These results indicate that a PITALRE-containing complex mediates transactivation by Tat and suggest that Tat proteins function by localizing such a PITALRE-containing complex to the site of the transcribing provirus.
Hyperammonemic Encephalopathy: A Complication Associated with the Prune Belly Syndrome (1989)

Hyperammonemic encephalopathy in the urological patient is a rare but grave condition. In the pediatric urological population it has been associated with massively dilated upper tracts and urinary infection with urea-splitting organisms. We report 2 cases of hyperammonemic encephalopathy in association with the prune belly syndrome. Both patients presented comatose with markedly elevated serum ammonia levels and Proteus mirabilis urinary tract infection. Intravenous antibiotics and catheter drainage resulted in dramatic reversal of the encephalopathy. The pathophysiology of hyperammonemic encephalopathy in association with the prune belly syndrome and a review of the literature are presented.
On logical specifications of the Argument Interchange Format (2012)

The Argument Interchange Format (AIF) has been devised in order to support the interchange of ideas and data between different projects and applications in the area of computational argumentation. In order to support such interchange, an abstract ontology for argumentation is presented, which serves as an interlingua between various more concrete argumentation languages. In this article, we aim to give what is essentially a logical specification of the AIF ontology by mapping the ontology onto the logical ASPIC+ framework for argumentation. We thus lay foundations for interrelating formal logic-based approaches to argumentation captured by the ASPIC+ framework and the wider class of argumentation languages, including those that are more informal and user-orientated.
A Multisensor Fusion Method for Tool Condition Monitoring in Milling (2018)

Tool fault diagnosis in numerical control (NC) machines plays a significant role in ensuring manufacturing quality. Tool condition monitoring (TCM) based on multisensors can provide more information related to tool condition, but it can also increase the risk that effective information is overwhelmed by redundant information. Thus, the method of obtaining the most effective feature information from multisensor signals is currently a hot topic. However, most of the current feature selection methods take into account the correlation between the feature parameters and the tool state and do not analyze the influence of feature parameters on prediction accuracy. In this paper, a multisensor global feature extraction method for TCM in the milling process is researched. Several statistical parameters in the time, frequency, and time⁻frequency (Wavelet packet transform) domains of multiple sensors are selected as an alternative parameter set. The monitoring model is executed by a Kernel-based extreme learning Machine (KELM), and a modified genetic algorithm (GA) is applied in order to search the optimal parameter combinations in a two-objective optimization model to achieve the highest prediction precision. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the Pearson's correlation coefficient (PCC) based, minimal redundancy and maximal relevance (mRMR) based, and Principal component analysis (PCA)-based feature selection methods.
The Third World Mainstream (1991)

Kenyan novelist, playwright and critic Ngugi wa Thiong'o is interviewed about the banning of his works in Kenya due to the perceived ability of the African language works to instigate the peasantry against government oppression. He believes that Third World literatures and cultures are mainstream and should be incorporated in academic syllabus in order to understand the levels of human advancement in the twentieth century.
Detection and characterization of very small cerebral aneurysms by using 2D and 3D helical CT angiography. (2002)

The sensitivity of CTA for the detection of cerebral aneurysms </=5 mm is higher than that of DSA, with equal specificity and high interoperator reliability. High quality, noninvasive CTA aneurysm detection and characterization can be performed using routine clinical CT scanners and commercially available image processing workstations.
Magnetoresistive Head for High Density Magnetic Recording (1993)

Magnetoresistive (MR) heads, which detect magnetic signals through the change in resistance of a ferromagnetic film, have been intensively investigated as read elements for use in magnetic recording. Recently very high areal densities, on the order of gigabits per square inch, have been reported. MR heads play an important role in such high-density recording systems. This paper reviews research results on the principle of MR head operation, biasing methods for improving output linearity, the advantages of MR heads over inductive heads, typical MR head structures, and domain stabilization techniques for Barkhausen noise suppression.
Multiscale Modeling of Multiphase Fluid Flow (2016)

A multiscale modeling approach including molecular dynamics and computational fluid dynamics was carried out address the disparate time and length scales involved in modeling fluid flow and heat transfer. Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to provide a molecular level understanding of the transport properties of surfactant aqueous solutions the solvent effects on the solubility of the thermal decomposition reaction products of ammonium carbamate and the temperature dependence of the accommodation coefficient of liquid octane. Computational fluid dynamics methods were used to investigate the heat transfer process in open-cell micro-foam with phase change material enhancement of natural convection for fluid media in an enclosure and thermal effects on vortex-induced vibrations.
