Visualization Services in a Conference Context: An Approach by RFID Technology (2006)

Ambient Intelligent (AmI) vision is a new concept materialized by the Six Framework Program of the European Community. It involves three key technologies: Ubiquitous Computing, Ubiquitous Communications and Natural Interfaces. With the increase in context aware applications it is important to keep these technologies in mind. In this paper we present a context aware application in a conference site based on the identification process using RFID. Furthermore the highlights of this proposal are based on the "ws" concepts. Three environments are modelled applying the "who" to the "when" and "where" to reach the "what". In this sense certain services are offered to the conference attendees, some of which are characteristics of this technology and others are the result of a context aware application, the visualization services named "Mosaics of Information".
A phenomenology model of normal sinus rhythm in healthy humans (2002)

The fractal component in the daytime healthy heartbeat interval data is studied from the perspective of cascade in fluid turbulence. Based on the electrophysiology of the heart muscle cell, a bounded random cascade model is assumed and the scaling property of the model is derived. In application, a "cascade decomposition" is proposed to extract the model parameter based on the experimental data. Simulation results show that healthy heart rate variability (HRV) can be well captured by the multiplicative process and imply the significance of sympatho-vagal interaction in the fractal component of long-term healthy HRV.
THE FINE STRUCTURE OF <i>Streptomyces coelicolor </i> (1960)

Colonies and spore suspensions of Streptomyces coelicolor were fixed for electron microscopy by the method of Kellenberger, Ryter, and Séchaud (1958). In thin sections the nuclear regions have a lower average density than the cytoplasm and the outlines of these regions correspond well with the profiles of the chromatinic bodies observed with the light microscope. The nuclear regions contain fibrils, about 5 mmicro in diameter. In contrast, after fixation by the method of Palade (1952) the nuclear material is coagulated into irregular dense masses and tubular structures about 20 mmicro in diameter, lying in a nuclear "vacuole." The significance of these observations is discussed in relation to the observations of other workers on the fine structure of the nuclear material of other bacteria and the chromosomes of higher cells.
Approches du dìsque ethníque: quatre disques de musique d'Asie centrale (1992)

L’Asie centrale couvre un vaste territoire peuple d’environ 35 millions de Turcs et Turcophones (Ouzbeks, Kazaks, Turkomans, Kirghizes) et 5 millions de Tadjiks iranophones. Les Ouzbeks et les Tadjiks ont constitue durant des siecles une entite culturelle et politique homogene, bilingue, gouvernee par les Emirs de Boukhârâ et par des emirats annexes. Cette culture urbaine hautement sophistiquee contrastait avec celle des nomades turcs qui ne se sedentariserent que vers le debut du siecle. Ave...

Integrating GPGPU Functionality into Scene Graphs. (2009)

The concept of scene graphs is widely used in computer graphics to structure graphics-related entities, data related to certain application requirements like object identifiers or manufacturing details. This paper presents a new method to incorporate General Purpose Graphics Programming Unit (GPGPU)-functionality into scene graph APIs. We define specific scene graph nodes in order to realize a flexible integration of GPU functionality at various levels of granularity without violating the programming paradigm inherent to scene graphs. We focus on current and upcoming compute APIs like CUDA, which are designed for GPGPU purposes. We further present the osgCompute framework that implements our concept and is based on the OpenSceneGraph API. CUDA is integrated into osgCompute via osgCuda. Our method is flexible in the sense that other compute APIs could be used instead. The advantages of our concept and of osgCuda are demonstrated by presenting examples with different processing requirements. 1
Theft detection and smart metering practices and expectations in the Netherlands (2010)

This paper provides insight into the illegal use or abstraction of electricity in the Netherlands. The importance and the economic aspects of theft detection are presented and the current practices and experiences are discussed. The paper also proposes a novel methodology for automated detection of illegal utilization of electricity in the future distribution networks equipped with smart metering infrastructure. The necessary data requirements for smart meters and distribution substations are defined, in order to unlock this feature in distribution network. The paper also proposes the measures, which should be undertaken by the smart metering standards.
Analysis of urinary organic acids by plasmaspray™ Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (1988)

High-performance liquid chromatography is being used increasingly as a screening method to detect organic acid-urias, an important group of inherited metabolic disorders. Analysis is hampered by lack of a suitable specific detection system. We have carried out preliminary investigations to assess the potential value of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry with a plasmaspray interface. Spectra of standard acids yielded intense [M-H]- ions with little fragmentation. Organic acids could not be identified in urine samples from healthy neonates because of poor sensitivity. However, urine from a baby with the inherited disorder methylmalonic aciduria showed a distinct peak of methylmalonic acid, easily identified owing to its high sample concentration.
Lower respiratory infection and inflammation in infants with newly diagnosed cystic fibrosis (1995)

95% confidence interval 1 1 to 12-6).Of 16 women whose menopause was the result of oophorectomy at 45 years or later, none had macular degeneration.This indicates a significant excess risk of early com- pared with late menopause by oophorectomy (exact lower 95% confidence limit 1X7).
Tissue culture and organogenesis in the winged bean (1979)

Seedlings of Psophocarpus tetragonolobus var. TPt2 were grown under sterile conditions on nutrient agar. Hypocotyl sections (0.5 cm) from 2-week-old seedlings were used to initiate callus on solid B5 medium with 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D. Callus was transferred into liquid B5 and MS media also containing 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D. Suspension cultures developed within 6 weeks, but could not be maintained longer than 3 months. However, when suspensions were transferred into medium containing MS salts, iron-EDTA, and the following organic compounds: inositol, thiamine, pyridoxine, nicotinic acid (0.5 mg/L), kinetin (0.3 mg/L), IAA (5.0 mg/L), 2,4-D (1.5 mg/L), and sucrose (40 mg/L), optimal growth resumed and has continued for 2 years with a doubling time of 57.6 h. Chromosome counts of the suspension culture cells show predominantly the diploid chromosome number of 2n = 18. Greening of callus occurred in the absence of exogenous hormones, but efforts to hormonally induce organogenesis from callus have succeeded only in promoting root formation.
A Novel Porphyrin‐Based Photocatalytic System for Terpenoids Production from ( <i>R</i> )‐(+)‐Limonene (2006)

A porphyrin-based photoexcited system has been revealed to be an efficient catalyst for d-limonene biotransformation under mild conditions and using molecular oxygen or/and H2O2 as oxidants. The influence of the oxidant, the wavelength of visible light, and the photoexcitation time on the catalytic system were studied for limonene oxidation with 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (H2TPP) as a catalyst. This porphyrin-catalyzed oxidation of limonene to three main products identified as carvone, an unknown product with a verbenone-like mass spectrum (1), and a (1S,4R)-p-mentha-2,8-diene 1-hydroperoxide (2). The highest conversion yield of these products was achieved at a very high molar ratio of H2TPP to limonene. The dependence of the biotransformation yield on the kind of solvent with different acceptor/donor electron properties was also investigated. Ethyl alcohol proved to be the best among the considered additives used for the reaction. Limonene photooxidation was not significantly dependent on wavelengths of visible light. It was concluded by UV-vis experiments that the reaction proceeds via a free-radical or/and molecular mechanism. Additional evidence for its radical nature was obtained from reactivity investigations. Maximal yield of carvone was obtained in the medium containing 90% of the substrate, within the period of 18 to 36 h of exposition to sunlight.
Anti-inflammatory Plant Flavonoids and Cellular Action Mechanisms (2004)

Plant flavonoids show anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo. Although not fully understood, several action mechanisms are proposed to explain in vivo anti-inflammatory action. One of the important mechanisms is an inhibition of eicosanoid generating enzymes including phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenases, and lipoxygenases, thereby reducing the concentrations of prostanoids and leukotrienes. Recent studies have also shown that certain flavonoids, especially flavone derivatives, express their anti-inflammatory activity at least in part by modulation of proinflammatory gene expression such as cyclooxygenase-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and several pivotal cytokines. Due to these unique action mechanisms and significant in vivo activity, flavonoids are considered to be reasonable candidates for new anti-inflammatory drugs. To clearly establish the therapeutic value in inflammatory disorders, in vivo anti-inflammatory activity, and action mechanism of varieties of flavonoids need to be further elucidated. This review summarizes the effect of flavonoids on eicosanoid and nitric oxide generating enzymes and the effect on expression of proinflammatory genes. In vivo anti-inflammatory activity is also discussed. As natural modulators of proinflammatory gene expression, certain flavonoids have a potential for new anti-inflammatory agents.
Stepwise intraclonal maturation of antibody affinity through somatic hypermutation. (1988)

Using recombinant DNA techniques, we reconstructed a genealogical tree (Sablitzky, F., Wildner, G. & Rajewsky, K. (1985) EMBO J. 4, 345-350) that connects three clonally related B cells producing somatically mutated antibodies to a progenitor cell expressing a germ line-encoded antibody. The somatic mutants had been isolated from an in vivo immune response. The germ line-encoded progenitor antibody bound the antigen with high affinity. Intraclonal affinity maturation occurred stepwise over a 15-fold range.
Enhancing Transition Fault Model for Delay Defect Diagnosis (2008)

With nanometer processes, at-speed testing is required to filter out failing chips with delay defects to ensure high product quality. Locating delay defects is important not only for improving yield but also providing important information to enhance at-speed test methods to meet quality goals. In this paper, a method that leverages successful static defect diagnosis method to diagnose delay defects is presented. To avoid missing any defect suspects, transition fault model is used with special considerations of self masking, glitch detection and passing bit mismatch. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated with simulation experiments as well as two case studies on failing chips from Renesas Technology's 130nm process.
Improved method of plasma 8-Isoprostane measurement and association analyses with habitual drinking and smoking (2006)

Our present method was proved to be a simple and accurate tool for measuring plasma 8-isoprostane. However, the clinical utility of plasma 8-isoprostane for drinking and smoking habits was limited since elevated 8-isoprostane levels were observed in female heavy drinkers, and no association was found between smokers and nonsmokers.
Random Walks on Context Spaces: Towards an Explanation of the Mysteries of Semantic Word Embeddings. (2015)

The papers of Mikolov et al. 2013 as well as subsequent works have led to dramatic progress in solving word analogy tasks using semantic word embeddings. This leverages linear structure that is often found in the word embeddings, which is surprising since the training method is usually nonlinear. There were attempts ---notably by Levy and Goldberg and Pennington et al.--- to explain how this linear structure arises. The current paper points out the gaps in these explanations and provides a more complete explanation using a loglinear generative model for the corpus that directly models the latent semantic structure in words. The novel methodological twist is that instead of trying to fit the best model parameters to the data, a rigorous mathematical analysis is performed using the model priors to arrive at a simple closed form expression that approximately relates co-occurrence statistics and word embeddings. This expression closely corresponds to ---and a bit simpler than--- the existing training methods, and leads to good solutions to analogy tasks. Empirical support is provided also for the validity of the modeling assumptions. 
This methodology of letting some mathematical analysis substitute for some of the computational difficulty may be useful in other settings with generative models.
The Effects of Trapped Bubbles on Viscous Drag Reduction for Submerged Surfaces (2007)

The effect on viscous drag of trapped bubbles on a submerged flat plate was investigated. The objective was to determine if viscous drag reduction could be obtained by replacing portions of the solid no-slip surface of the plate with areas of near-slip formed by bubbles. One configuration involved a large bubble trapped on the bottom surface of a horizontally mounted plate, which provides insight as to the maximum drag reduction obtainable using the trapped bubble concept. A second configuration involved a trapped bubble array (TBA), which used electrolysis to grow and maintain bubbles on the plate surface in thousands of tiny conductive holes. The TBA experiments were conducted on a vertical plate, to demonstrate the versatility of this drag reduction method. Drag measurements were acquired over a range of Reynolds numbers using either a force balance for plates mounted in a vertical orientation, or by performing a momentum integral balance using a LDA wake survey for plates mounted in either vertical or horizontal orientations. Results show that a drag reduction of up to 32% was obtained for the large trapped bubble case, while negligible drag reduction was obtained for the array of tiny trapped bubbles.
Plasma Prothrombin during Treatment with Dicumarol (1968)

Ganrot, P. O. & Niléhn, J.-E. Plasma Prothrombin during Treatment with Dicumarol. II. Demonstration of an abnormal prothrombin fraction. Scand. J. clin. Lab. Invest. 22, 23-28, 1968.Immunochemical analysis of plasma from patients treated with Dicumarol revealed the co-occurrence of two fractions of prothrombin. They could be separated completely by agarose gel electrophoresis. One of the fractions behaved like prothrombin of plasma from subjects not treated with Dicumarol and was therefore called the ‘normal’ prothrombin. The other fraction did not form a complex with calcium ions, it was not activated on recalcification of citrated plasma, and it could not be absorbed with barium sulphate precipitate. An immunochemical method was devised for quantitative determination of the ‘normal’ prothrombin fraction. In individual plasma samples from 52 patients, some receiving treatment with Dicumarol, a very close correlation (r=0.946) was found between the concentration of ‘normal’ prothrombin and the prothrombin-proconvertin activity.
Evidence of Henipavirus Infection in West African Fruit Bats (2008)

Henipaviruses are emerging RNA viruses of fruit bat origin that can cause fatal encephalitis in man. Ghanaian fruit bats (megachiroptera) were tested for antibodies to henipaviruses. Using a Luminex multiplexed microsphere assay, antibodies were detected in sera of Eidolon helvum to both Nipah (39%, 95% confidence interval: 27-51%) and Hendra (22%, 95% CI: 11-33%) viruses. Virus neutralization tests further confirmed seropositivity for 30% (7/23) of Luminex positive serum samples. Our results indicate that henipavirus is present within West Africa.
TUNGSTEN THIN FILM DEPOSITION BY 5 μm MULTIPHOTON DISSOCIATION OF W(CO)<sub>6</sub> (1994)

Summed frequency radiation from two synchronised CO 2 transversely excited atmospheric lasers in an AgGaSe 2 crystal, with energies up to 50 mJ at frequencies of ∼2000 cm –1 has been used to study infrared multiple photon dissociation of W(CO) 6 and to induce tungsten thin film deposition. The cross-section of multiphoton absorption saturates, but at a flux close to 40 mJ cm –2 is still high enough (2 x 10 –17 cm 2 ) to allow absorption, on average, of more than 20 photons per molecule, overcoming the dissociation threshold. In parallel beam configuration the multiphoton dissociation yield is proportional to the beam flux raised to the power 1·6 and the critical flux is ⋜120 mJ cm –2 .Averaged energy absorbed per molecule at this flux, calculated on the basis of Judd s absorption law, overcomes total bond dissociation energy by only ∼ 1·4 eV. A transmission electron microscopy study of the deposited tungsten thin film shows that the film is amorphous and homogeneous with a grain size <1 nm.
Regulation of transcription by the activity of the <i>Shigella flexneri</i> type III secretion apparatus (2002)

The virulence plasmid-encoded type III secretion system of Shigella flexneri consists of the Mxi-Spa secretion apparatus, secreted proteins IpaA-D and IpgD involved in entry of bacteria into epithelial cells,cytoplasmic chaperones IpgC and IpgE and 15 other secreted proteins of unknown function, including VirA and members of the IpaH family. The activity of the Mxi-Spa apparatus is regulated by external signals, and transcription of virA and IpaH genes is specifically induced in conditions of active secretion. We present genetic evidence that regulation of these genes involves both MxiE, the transcriptional activator of the AraC family encoded by the mxi operon, and IpgC, the chaperone for IpaB and IpaC. We also show that together MxiE and IpgC are sufficient to activatevirA and IpaH 9.8 promoters in Escherichia coli. InS. flexneri, increasing the expression of IpgC led to a concomitant increase in IpaH production in conditions of non-secretion. This suggests that the activity of secretion is sensed by the presence of free IpgC, which acts as a coactivator to allow MxiE to activate transcription at its target promoters.
Advanced Oracle PL/SQL Programming with Packages (1996)

From the Publisher:
Steven Feuerstein's first book, Oracle PL/SQL Programming, has become the classic reference to PL/SQL, Oracle's procedural extension to its SQL language. His new book looks thoroughly at one especially advanced part of the PL/SQL language - the package. The use of packages can dramatically improve your programming productivity and code quality, while preparing you for object-oriented development in Oracle technology. In this book, Feuerstein explains how to construct packages - and how to build them the right way. His best practices for building packages will transform the way you write packages and help you get the most out of the powerful, but often poorly understood PL/SQL language. Much more than a book, Advanced Oracle PL/SQL Programming with Packages comes with a PC disk containing a full-use software companion. Developed by Feuerstein, RevealNet's PL/Vision Lite is the first of its kind for PL/SQL developers. It's a library of 30-plus PL/SQL packages that solve a myriad of common programming problems and vastly accelerate the development of modular and maintainable applications.

Hardware-Software Implementation of MPEG-4 Video Codec (2003)

This paper presents an MPEG-4 video codec, called MoVa, for video coding applications that adopts 3G-324M. We designed MoVa to be optimal by embedding a cost-effective ARM7TDMI core and partitioning it into hardwired blocks and firmware blocks to provide a reasonable tradeoff between computational requirements, power consumption, and programmability. Typical hardwired blocks are motion estimation and motion compensation, discrete cosine transform and quantization, and variable length coding and decoding, while intra refresh, rate control, error resilience, error concealment, etc. are implemented by software. MoVa has a pipeline structure and its operation is performed in four stages at encoding and in three stages at decoding. It meets the requirements of MPEG-4 [email protected] and can perform either 30 frames/s (fps) of QCIF or SQCIF, or 7.5 fps (in codec mode) to 15 fps (in encode/decode mode) of CIF at a maximum clock rate of 27 MHz for 128 kbps or 144 kbps. MoVa can be applied to many video systems requiring a high bit rate and various video formats, such as videophone, videoconferencing, surveillance, news, and entertainment.
Fast Noise Level Estimation using a Convergent Multiframe Approach (2006)

Image denoising is one of the most recurrent problems to face in the design of image generation pipelines. This paper proposes a novel method for the estimation of the noise level in images contaminated by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The estimated noise level is updated on a frame basis allowing convergence to the optimal value. At the same time, dynamic adjustment to changing noise levels is permitted. The proposed technique has been successfully implemented in a real system, demonstrating the validity of the proposed solution.
Safety of oxaliplatin in the treatment of colorectal cancer. (2000)

The new platinum compound oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) appears to have activity, either alone or in combination, as both first- and second-line therapy for advanced colorectal cancer. Unlike other platinum derivatives, it is not associated with significant nephrotoxicity or ototoxicity. The addition of oxaliplatin at 85 mg/m2 to a fluorouracil/leucovorin-based regimen administered every 2 weeks is well tolerated. The incidence of diarrhea and stomatitis increases with the addition of oxaliplatin, but can be managed by adjusting the dose. There is also a significantly higher incidence of grade 3 or 4 neutropenia with oxaliplatin. Neutropenic febrile complications are rare. The occurrence of other hematologic, hepatic, or renal toxicities does not increase when oxaliplatin is added to fluorouracil-based regimens. Unlike other agents used for the treatment of colorectal cancer, oxaliplatin causes acute and chronic neurosensory symptoms. These acute symptoms are managed by taking precautions (e.g., avoid cold drinks/food for a few days following treatment). Cumulative neurotoxicity is the dose-limiting toxicity associated with oxaliplatin treatment. This toxicity appears reversible with discontinuation of the drug and typically occurs well after the onset of tumor response.
