The magical number seven, plus or minus two: Some limits on our capacity for processing information. (1994)

First, the span of absolute judgment and the span of immediate memory impose severe limitations on the amount of information that we are able to receive, process, and remember. By organizing the stimulus input simultaneously into several dimensions and successively into a sequence or chunks, we manage to break (or at least stretch) this informational bottleneck. Second, the process of recoding is a very important one in human psychology and deserves much more explicit attention than it has received. In particular, the kind of linguistic recoding that people do seems to me to be the very lifeblood of the thought processes. Recoding procedures are a constant concern to clinicians, social psychologists, linguists, and anthropologists and yet, probably because recoding is less accessible to experimental manipulation than nonsense syllables or T mazes, the traditional experimental psychologist has contributed little or nothing to their analysis. Nevertheless, experimental techniques can be used, methods of recoding can be specified, behavioral indicants can be found. And I anticipate that we will find a very orderly set of relations describing what now seems an uncharted wilderness of individual differences. Third, the concepts and measures provided by the theory of information provide a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions. The theory provides us with a yardstick for calibrating our stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of our subjects. In the interests of communication I have suppressed the technical details of information measurement and have tried to express the ideas in more familiar terms; I hope this paraphrase will not lead you to think they are not useful in research. Informational concepts have already proved valuable in the study of discrimination and of language; they promise a great deal in the study of learning and memory; and it has even been proposed that they can be useful in the study of concept formation. A lot of questions that seemed fruitless twenty or thirty years ago may now be worth another look. In fact, I feel that my story here must stop just as it begins to get really interesting. And finally, what about the magical number seven? What about the seven wonders of the world, the seven seas, the seven deadly sins, the seven daughters of Atlas in the Pleiades, the seven ages of man, the seven levels of hell, the seven primary colors, the seven notes of the musical scale, and the seven days of the week? What about the seven-point rating scale, the seven categories for absolute judgment, the seven objects in the span of attention, and the seven digits in the span of immediate memory? For the present I propose to withhold judgment. Perhaps there is something deep and profound behind all these sevens, something just calling out for us to discover it. But I suspect that it is only a pernicious, Pythagorean coincidence.
Fruits and Vegetables – Processing Technologies and Applications (2014)

Processing of fruits and vegetables is very important to produce products for direct consumption and as food ingredients. During processing, the main objectives are to preserve the color, flavor, texture, and nutrition while prolonging the shelf life of perishable fruits and vegetables. This chapter is divided into two main sections: raw materials and basic processing. In the raw materials section, important chemical composition, pigments, and enzymes in fruits and vegetables, as well as their role in processing, are discussed. In the basic processing section, the processes used in the production of fruits and vegetables, including grading, washing, cooling, peeling, blanching, size reduction, freezing, dehydration, canning, minimal processing, and sustainability, are described. Basic information, conditions, and equipment commercially used in each process are discussed.
Synaptic plasticity and memory functions achieved in a WO<sub>3−<i>x</i></sub>-based nanoionics device by using the principle of atomic switch operation (2013)

A compact neuromorphic nanodevice with inherent learning and memory properties emulating those of biological synapses is the key to developing artificial neural networks rivaling their biological counterparts. Experimental results showed that memorization with a wide time scale from volatile to permanent can be achieved in a WO3-x-based nanoionics device and can be precisely and cumulatively controlled by adjusting the device's resistance state and input pulse parameters such as the amplitude, interval, and number. This control is analogous to biological synaptic plasticity including short-term plasticity, long-term potentiation, transition from short-term memory to long-term memory, forgetting processes for short- and long-term memory, learning speed, and learning history. A compact WO3-x-based nanoionics device with a simple stacked layer structure should thus be a promising candidate for use as an inorganic synapse in artificial neural networks due to its striking resemblance to the biological synapse.
Point mutation of the autophosphorylation site or in the nuclear location signal causes protein kinase A RII beta regulatory subunit to lose its ability to revert transformed fibroblasts. (1995)

The RII beta regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) contains an autophosphorylation site and a nuclear location signal, KKRK. We approached the structure-function analysis of RII beta by using site-directed mutagenesis. Ser114 (the autophosphorylation site) of human RII beta was replaced with Ala (RII beta-P) or Arg264 of KKRK was replaced with Met (RII beta-K). ras-transformed NIH 3T3 (DT) cells were transfected with expression vectors for RII beta, RII beta-P, and RII beta-K, and the effects on PKA isozyme distribution and transformation properties were analyzed. DT cells contained PKA-I and PKA-II isozymes in a 1:2 ratio. Over-expression of wild-type or mutant RII beta resulted in an increase in PKA-II and the elimination of PKA-I. Only wild-type RII beta cells demonstrated inhibition of both anchorage-dependent and -independent growth and phenotypic change. The growth inhibitory effect of RII beta overexpression was not due to suppression of ras expression but was correlated with nuclear accumulation of RII beta. DT cells demonstrated growth inhibition and phenotypic change upon treatment with 8-Cl-cAMP. RII beta-P or RII beta-K cells failed to respond to 8-Cl-cAMP. These data suggest that autophosphorylation and nuclear location signal sequences are integral parts of the growth regulatory mechanism of RII beta.
Design of a signal scavenging sensor system for passive monitoring in elder care technology (2010)

Design of a signal scavenging sensor system for passive monitoring in eldercare technology This thesis describes sensors designed for a non-obtrusive monitoring system to detect and track the elderly adults walking on the carpet.The sensors are thin metal foils which detect environmental or scavenged energy.The technology aims at addressing the concerns of safety for the elderly under no supervision and without wearable-expensive-tracking devices.Eldercare technology provides support for the growing number of seniors in the world population.Emerging technologies are expected to ameliorate the problems of aging such as loss of balance and falls, causing a potentially serious injury.The thesis investigates the variation in the power of the signal from the foil sensor after being touched or stepped utilized for sensing and detection applications.Characterization of the scavenged signal shows the dominance of the nuisance 60Hz energy.Change in the foil sensors dimensions and thickness showed significant variation in the signal detected.Sensor performance measures are made using a development board.Results show that foil sensors are reliable for detecting personnel and for tracking a movement.Thus, the foil sensors, through scavenged signals, can be utilized for passive monitoring.
Biochemical and Functional Properties of Atlantic Salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>) Muscle Proteins Hydrolyzed with Various Alkaline Proteases (2000)

Protein hydrolysates (5, 10, and 15% degrees of hydrolysis) were made from minced salmon muscle treated with one of four alkaline proteases (Alcalase 2.4L, Flavourzyme 1000L, Corolase PN-L, and Corolase 7089) or endogenous digestive proteases. Reaction conditions were controlled at pH 7.5, 40 degrees C, and 7.5% protein content, and enzymes were added on the basis of standardized activity units (Azocoll units). Proteases were heat inactivated, insoluble and unhydrolyzed material was centrifuged out, and soluble protein fractions were recovered and lyophilized. Substrate specificities for the proteases was clearly different. Protein content for the hydrolysates ranged from 71.7 to 88.4%, and lipid content was very low. Nitrogen recovery ranged from 40.6 to 79.9%. The nitrogen solubility index was comparable to that of egg albumin and ranged from 92.4 to 99.7%. Solubility was high over a wide range of pH. The water-holding capacity of fish protein hydrolysates added at 1.5% in a model food system of frozen minced salmon patties was tested. Drip loss was on average lower for the fish protein hydrolysates than for egg albumin and soy protein concentrate, especially for Alcalase hydrolysates. Emulsification capacity for fish protein hydrolysates ranged quite a bit (75-299 mL of oil emulsified per 200 mg of protein), and some were better than soy protein concentrate (180 mL of oil emulsified per 200 mg of protein), but egg albumin had the highest emulsifying capacity (417 mL of oil emulsified per 200 mg of protein). Emulsification stability for fish protein hydrolysates (50-70%) was similar to or lower than those of egg albumin (73%) or soy protein concentrate (68%). Fat absorption was greater for 5 and 10% degrees of hydrolysis fish protein hydrolysates (3.22-5.90 mL of oil/g of protein) than for 15% hydrolysates, and all had greater fat absorption than egg albumin (2. 36 mL of oil/g of protein) or soy protein concentrate (2.90 mL of oil/g of protein).
File system measurements and their application to the design of efficient operation logging algorithms (2002)

File system operation in a transparently fault-tolerant system that uses checkpointing and message logging is discussed. Logging messages to disk is one of the primary performance costs of such systems. The author has measured the file system operations performed on large timesharing systems running Unix in terms of the level of concurrency (number of consecutive operations that do not change the state of the file system). By performing much of the data analysis online within a modified Unix kernel, statistics were collected over a long period of time with a substantial variation in system load. Using this data, it is demonstrated that a technique called null logging can reduce the number of messages logged to disk by a factor of 10 to 25, depending on the workload. This reduces the overhead of the fault-tolerance mechanism and allows a large fraction of file system operations to commit instantaneously.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study to Evaluate the Effect of Calcium Fructoborate on Systemic Inflammation and Dyslipidemia Markers for Middle-Aged People with Primary Osteoarthritis (2011)

The objective of this pilot study was to determine whether 15 days of dietary supplementation with calcium fructoborate could acutely modulate inflammatory and lipid blood markers in individuals diagnosed with primary osteoarthritis. During 2 weeks, a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind study was conducted on 116 subjects that were initially recruited. Seventy-two subjects started the study, being divided into four groups, and only 60 completed the study as designed. The aim was to compare the effects of calcium fructoborate to placebo on subjects diagnosed with knee primary osteoarthritis. The obtained outcomes were inflammation biomarkers (C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and lipid markers (triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol). No serious adverse events were reported. The calcium fructoborate showed beneficial effect on the inflammatory markers for all groups subjected to the treatment when compared with the placebo group and slight changes in the lipid metabolism. This study suggests that short-term (2 weeks) calcium fructoborate supplementation in patients with osteoarthritis symptoms has a favorable prognosis on inflammation diseases.

Islet-Cell-Surface Antibodies in Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus (1978)

Using an indirect immunofluorescence test on suspensions of viable, insulin-producing islet cells from rats, we found that 32 per cent (28/88) of insulin-treated patients with juvenile diabetes have islet-cell-surface antibodies in their circulation. These antibodies also occurred in four of nine children with glucose intolerance, in one of 24 healthy children and in nondiabetic children with thyroid disorders. In the diabetic children, the immunofluorescent reaction was inhibited by preadsorption of serum to islet cells but was little affected by preadsorption to rat hepatocytes or erythrocytes or to acetone powders of various rat tissues, including pancreas. These results show that organ-specific, nonspecies-specific antibodies reactive with the cell surface of the islet cells can be present in serum from diabetic children, and provide an approach to investigation of immunopathological aspects of diabetes mellitus.
Severe mental retardation and macroorchidism without mutation in the FMR1 gene (1996)

Only one missense mutation, an Ile304Asn, has been reported in the fragile X gene (FMR1). This mutation is located in the second KH domain of FMR1, and has led to the discovery of the function of the FMR1 gene product as an RNA-binding protein. The patient carrying this mutation has profound mental retardation, macroorchidism, and an "acromegalic" face with prominent supraorbital ridges, enlarged jaw, heavy brow ridges, thick lips, and a broad nose. We have studied the possible involvement of FMR1 in two maternal half-brothers with a phenotype similar to that of the patient with the Ile304Asn mutation. Both brothers had an identical number of CGG repeats in the normal size-range, and shared the same maternal Xq27 haplotype. Southern blot analysis with two overlapping FMR1 cDNA clones, spanning the total FMR1 open reading frame, showed no major deletions, insertions, or gross rearrangements. Single-strand conformation pattern (SSCP) analysis of the KH domains showed no aberrant patterns. The total open reading frame of the FMR1 gene was cloned and sequenced, but no mutation was found. Northern blot analysis showed mRNA in the normal size-range, and immunocytochemistry on individual lymphocytes indicated that FMRP, the protein product of FMR1, was present. In conclusion, it is unlikely that FMR1 plays a role in the phenotype of this patient. Other genes may be responsible for the combination of mental retardation and macroorchidism.
Research Status of Fault Diagnosis Based on Support Vector Machine (2013)

Support vector machine has good learning ability and it is good to perform the structural risk minimization principle of statistical learning theory and its application in fault diagnosis of the biggest advantages is that it is suitable for small sample decision. Its nature of learning method is under the condition of limited information to maximize the implicit knowledge of classification in data mining and it is of great practical significance for fault diagnosis. This paper analyzed and summarized the present situation of application of support vector machine in fault diagnosis and made a meaningful exploration on development direction of the future.
Space Station Photovoltaic power modules (1988)

Production of monoclonal antibodies to C3d usually involves the purification of protein. Our method does not require C3 purification; it relies on attachment of C3b to mouse erythrocytes by activation of alternative pathways and further conversion in C3d. We prepared human complement-coated mouse red cells and sensitized mice of the same strain with our own schedule of immunization and applied the classical methods to obtain a mouse monoclonal antibody. We obtained a clone called BMS-11 which produces a monoclonal antibody of IgM class, to C3d with a title of 1:500000. The monoclonal antibody obtained has shown that it is suitable for use as an antiglobulin reagent.
Bongo: A BGP speaker built for defending against bad routes (2016)

Hijacks, outages, route leaks, and AS path spoofing are cases where network operators may want to influence the way routes are accepted and propagated from BGP neighbors in ways not supported by traditional BGP speakers. In this paper, we introduce Bongo, a software-based BGP speaker than can selectively filter out or extend the path of BGP updates received from other peers based on arbitrary operator-defined policies. Additionally, we show how the modularity of this system makes it easy to integrate with existing routers as well as other network devices such as OpenFlow switches or firewalls.
