Lipes Tracking Using Active Contour Method (2011)

Speech recognition based on visual information such as the lip shape and its movement is referred to as lip reading. The visual features are derived according to the frame rate of the video sequence. The proposed work adopted in this paper based upon the lower part of human face to extract the speaker sound relevant features accurately and robustly from the inner edge of lips, using biometric to verify a person's identity by drawing their relevant physiological or behavioral characteristics curves. Lips contain a large volume of unique features. The results are promising and offer a good reaction (even with reducing the number of tested frames). The recognition rate with only audio: 86% - 100%, with only visual: 73% - 100%, and with both (audio - visual) recognition rate is: 92% - 100%.
Energy Harvesting and Remote Powering for Implantable Biosensors (2010)

This paper reviews some popular techniques to harvest energy for implantable biosensors. For each technique, the advantages and drawbacks are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the inductive links that are able to deliver power wirelessly through the biological tissues and enable bidirectional data communication with the implanted sensors. Finally, high-frequency inductive links are described, focusing also on the power absorbed by the tissues.
Brennan's stature as critic (1962)

One's first tendency, now that Brennan's prose is available, is perhaps to focus it back on his poetry, to look for revelations of his thought which will throw light on the more problematical aspects of his work. Certainly there are such glimpses and glosses, in his remarks on symbolism, on the search for Eden, or in his interpretation of Lear as man the wanderer whose home is 'built upon the winds and under them upon the storm . . . which strips from him, like so many vain garments, the laws, the order, the convention in which he has sheltered his life'. It is obvious, however, that while such a statement may illuminate 'The Wanderer' it primarily illuminates the work in question. From this prose volume we receive a powerful complementary image to that of Brennan the poet; the image of Brennan the critic and interpreter. Where Brennan's poetry at its best - in 'Towards the Source' and The Wanderer' - is experience become idea, Brennan's criticism at its best is idea become experience.

On producing join results early (2003)

Support for exploratory interaction with databases in applications such as data mining requires that the first few results of an operation be available as quickly as possible. We study the algorithmic side of what can and what cannot be achieved for processing join operations. We develop strategies that modify the strict two-phase processing of the sort-merge paradigm, intermingling join steps with selected merge phases of the sort. We propose an algorithm that produces early join results for a broad class of join problems, including many not addressed well by hash-based algorithms. Our algorithm has no significant increase in the number of I/O operations needed to complete the join compared to standard sort-merge algorithms.
Application and Survey of Business Intelligence (BI) Tools within the Context of Military Decision Making (2012)

Business intelligence (BI) is a general category of applications and technologies for collecting, storing, analyzing, and providing access to data to help users make better and faster decisions. BI applications include the activities of decision support systems, query and reporting, online analytical processing (OLAP), statistical analysis, forecasting, and data mining. The purpose of this research is to explore and survey several tools that fall under the BI umbrella and investigate their applicability within the context of military decision making. This survey will help military decision makers select the right BI tool for the right decision problem using the right technology. This would result in reduced IT costs by eliminating redundancy and consolidating computing resources, accelerated decision making, and improved accuracy, consistency, and relevance of decisions by providing a single version of truth.
Btf/brdf texture measurement and modeling (2005)

Real world scenes contain richly textured surfaces. Measuring, modeling and rendering texture are important topics in computer vision and computer graphics. We present our achievements in some aspects of this problem. (1) We develop an efficient texture measuring device called Texcam that can simultaneously measure fine scale geometry and reflectance. Texcam is exclusively developed in our lab and employs a parabolic mirror to get multiview images where each pixel corresponds to a viewing direction. The normal map of the specular surface can be obtained by detecting the highlight in the multiview images. This approach can be considered as a complement to laser-based methods that require lambertian surfaces. (2) We integrate geometry-based and appearance-based methods for modeling 3D texture. Appearance-based methods ignore geometric information resulting in incorrect linear interpolation. We explicitly construct texture geometry by using geometry primitives. With this method, shadows and occlusions can be reproduced. (3) In order to efficiently render geometry detail in real time by using modern graphics processing units, we develop a new compression scheme based on clustering and non-negative matrix factorization for view dependent displacement maps. Experiments show that compared with the previous singular value decomposition method, our approach can achieve high compression ratio with high image quality. (4) Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) is a four dimensional function that depends on viewing and illumination directions. To efficiently sample the BRDF, we project from the hemisphere to the unit disk, and develop a new Fourier transform based sampling scheme. Compared with the traditional spherical harmonics approach, our method needs less sampling and conveniently deals with area light sources.
Does indoxyl sulfate, a uraemic toxin, have direct effects on cardiac fibroblasts and myocytes? (2010)

This study has, for the first time, demonstrated that IS has pro-fibrotic, pro-hypertrophic, and pro-inflammatory effects, indicating that IS might play an important role in adverse cardiac remodelling mediated via activation of the p38 MAPK, p42/44 MAPK, and NFkappaB pathways. Targeting reduction of IS and/or the pathways it activates may represent a novel therapeutic approach to the management of CHF with concomitant CKD.

Early neurovascular monitoring and staged total solution surgical treatment of tibial plateau frac-ture-dislocation (2016)

Objective
To evaluate early neurovascular monitoring and staged total solution surgical treatment of tibial plateau fracture-dislocation including sub-acute fracture and ligament repair/reconstruction.


Methods
Seventy-eight patients (81 knees) with tibial plateau fracture-dislocation accepted surgical treatment between July 2010 and June 2014. They were 53 males and 25 females, 19 to 51 years of age (average, 37.8 years). According to Schatzker classification, there were 16 cases (16 knees) of type Ⅱ, and 31 ones (31 knees) of type Ⅳ, 6 ones (6 knees) of type Ⅴ and 4 ones (4 knees) of type Ⅵ. There were 21 impaction fractures with rim avulsion (24 knees) which could not be categorized by Schatzker classification. All the patients were treated according to the damage control-based management algorithm. Early neurovas-cular monitoring was conducted. Open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture and ligament repair/re-construction were performed after the conditions of blood vessels and soft tissue were stabilized. The stability and range of motion of the knee joint were assessed postoperatively.


Results
Of this series, 71 patients (74 knees) were followed up for an average of 40.2 months (from 24 to 71 months). Of the fractures of Schatzker type Ⅱ, Schatzker type Ⅳ, Schatzker types Ⅴ, Schatzker types Ⅵ and impaction fractures with rim avulsion, respectively, the common peroneal nerve injury and popliteal artery injury occurred in 15.4% (2/13), 17.2% (5/29), 60.0% (3/5) , 66.7% (2/3) and 45.8% (11/24) while the ligament injury occurred in 46.2% (6/13), 20.7% (6/29), 60.0% (3/5) , 66.7% (2/3) and 83.3% (20/24). The post-operative KT-1000 measurement of mean side-to-side difference of anterior drawer laxity at 30 degrees was 1.6 mm. By TELOS stress radiological measurement, the average side-to-side difference of posterior drawer laxity at 90 degrees was 2.3 mm; the valgus was 0.8 mm at 0 degree and 1.5 mm at 30 degrees; the varus at 0 degree was 1.2 mm and 2.2 mm at 30 degrees. The post-operative Lysholm scores averaged 85.1 points (from 72 to 95 points); the Tegner scores averaged 6.5 points (from 4 to 8 points). 91.5% (65/71) of the patients returned to their pre-injury level of activity or one Tegner grade lower. There were no extension restriction and the mean flexion loss was 15.5 degrees.


Conclusions
Early evaluation of neurovascular condition should be emphasized in management of tibial plateau fracture-dislocation to preserve the limb. Once the conditions of vessels and local soft tissue are stable, total solution including open reduction and internal fixation of the facture and ligament repair/reconstruction in one surgery should be considered to shorten the rehabilitation period. Usually, the posteromedial complex injury should be repaired and the posterior cruciate ligament and the posterolateral complex should be reconstructed by all means.

A dual-view approach to interactive network visualization (2007)

Visualizing network data, from tree structures to arbitrarily connected graphs, is a difficult problem in information visualization. A large part of the problem is that in network data, users not only have to visualize the attributes specific to each data item, but also the links specifying how those items are connected to each other. Past approaches to resolving these difficulties focus on zooming, clustering, filtering and applying various methods of laying out nodes and edges. Such approaches, however, focus only on optimizing a network visualization in a single view, limiting the amount of information that can be shown and explored in parallel. Moreover, past approaches do not allow users to cross reference different subsets or aspects of large, complex networks. In this paper, we propose an approach to these limitations using multiple coordinated views of a given network. To illustrate our approach, we implement a tool called DualNet and evaluate the tool with a case study using an email communication network. We show how using multiple coordinated views improves navigation and provides insight into large networks with multiple node and link properties and types.

Learning Chinese (2018)

Both ACTFL standards and the world-readiness standards for learning languages include five aspects in foreign language education, among which are connections and comparisons. While many instructors consider these two aspects as means of effective instruction, in this chapter, connections and comparisons are studied as learning strategies that four American students adopted to apply in their study abroad contexts in China. Despite the different focus of their study abroad programs, this chapter discusses a variety of examples where the participants made connections and comparisons to enhance their language and culture learning. Findings reveal that connections and comparisons were not only fostering language learning but also developing cultural knowledge. Results provide implications to foreign language educators related to teaching and preparing students for study abroad experience.
LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 Spinel and Its Derivatives as Cathodes for Li-Ion Batteries (2012)

It is well known that lithium-ion batteries are common in consumer electronics. It is one of the most popular types of rechargeable battery for portable electronics, with the best energy densities, no memory effect, and a slow loss of charge when not in use Beyond consumer electronics, LIBs are also growing in popularity for military, electric vehicle, and aerospace applications. Its excellent properties originate from its materials including cathode, anode and electrolyte and so on. For cathode materials, there are mainly three kinds of materials which have been widely studied and applied commercially, including layered oxide LiCoO 2 , spinel LiMn 2 O 4 and olivine LiFePO 4 . Among the cathode materials, LiCoO 2 has been used since the invention of LIB [3], while LiMn 2 O 4 and LiFPO 4 are considered as promising ones due to less toxicity, low cost, more safety and good electrochemical properties In term of redox energy level, these materials can be charged and discharged at around 4 V, which limits their energy density. The spinel LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 is becoming a research focus recently. The most remarkable property of spinel LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 is its discharge voltage plateau at around 4.7 V. In some cases, using LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 will lead fewer cells at the battery pack level. For example, hundreds of ordinary lithium ion batteries are needed to meet the requirement of electric vehicle (EV) in the state of start-up, accelerate and climb-up [6] because more energy is needed in this case. If the high voltage cells are utilized, the amount of batteries used for EV can decrease greatly. This chapter gives a detailed introduction on LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 spinel and the latest research advances in this area.
Eight-channel flat spectral response arrayed-waveguide multiplexer with asymmetrical Mach-Zehnder filters (1996)

An eight-channel flat spectral response arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer with asymmetrical Mach-Zehnder filters has been fabricated on the planar lightwave circuit (PLC). The monotonic spectral loss characteristics of AWG have been canceled by the opposite spectral response in the asymmetric MZ filter. The 1.5 dB bandwidth of 141 GHz and 3 dB bandwidth of 159 GHz are obtained for the 200 GHz channel spacing. The 1.5 dB bandwidth becomes 1.8 times wider than that of the conventional AWG. Crosstalks to neighboring and all other channels are less than -24 dB and the on-chip insertion losses range from 7.0 to 7.4 dB, respectively.
Characterization of a new iron-on-zeolite Y Fischer-Tropsch catalyst (1986)

of dry air a t 550 OC, conditions which would result in extensive dehydroxylation of the zeolite.According to the dehydroxylation model of Kiih133 and others34 cationic A1 species are formed as the framework is dealuminated.In fact, N M R results have shown that extensive dealumination can occur at temperatures as low as 500 O C .j 5 In the work presented here dehydroxylation and concomitant dealumination were avoided as was shown by the unit cell size of the catalyst after reaction.This is consistent with N M R results of Bosacek et aL3I which showed that upon deammination at 400 OC under "shallow-bed" conditions only about 3 Al/uc were removed from the framework.Although the acid strength of different types of zeolites may differ considerably because of changes in bond angle, bond length, etc., it is interesting to compare the specific activity for hexane cracking over a dealuminated Y sample and HZSM-5 having Si/A1 = 26.The activities of 350 O C were 11.4 and 8.5 Mmol/ (g.min), respectively.Considering the differences in the zeolites the activities are quite similar.For cumene dealkylation the HZSM-5 catalyst was about twice as active as a comparable dealuminated Y, and for methanol dehydration the HZSM-5 was (33) Kiihl, G.

Application of a Portable Handheld Infrared Spectrometer for Quantitation of <i>trans</i> Fat in Edible Oils (2011)

Abstract Trans fat poses serious health risks to consumers. In order to meet the FDA labeling requirements for trans fatty acids, development of fast, accurate, easy‐to‐use analytical methods for oils, fats and related products is desirable. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a well‐established analytical technique for quantifying trans fats, and the development of handheld FTIR units over the past decade presents new application opportunities. Our objective was to evaluate the performance of a handheld FTIR sensor for measuring trans fat content between 0.1 and 20% trans (w/w) in edible saturated and unsaturated oils. Calibration models were built by measuring height of the band at 966 cm −1 and by partial least squares regression (PLSR) using benchtop FTIR as a reference method. Predictive accuracy of the models was validated with an independent test set of commercial edible oils. Calibration models developed using PLSR and linear regression of band heights gave correlation coefficients R 2 > 0.98. Multivariate analysis for the handheld unit gave standard error of prediction (SEP) of approximately 1%, comparable to values obtained with benchtop systems. This study demonstrates that handheld FTIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics is a suitable method for quantitation of trans fat content.
Polyethyleneoxybenzoate (1974)

Abstract This paper presents a general survey of polyethyleneoxybenzoate (PEB). Manufacturing process, physical and chemical properties including its crystalline properties, fiber properties, and various applications of PEB are covered. Methyl‐p‐hydroxyethoxybenzoate is prepared from p‐hydroxybenzoic acid, ethyleneoxide, and methanol and then condensated. PEB polymer consists of a mixture of two crystalline forms generally, and its rate of crystallization is rather slow, consequently its crystallinity is low. PEB fiber has some features, viz. a moderate Young's modulus, and excellent elastic recovery, weathering resistance, dyeing properties, and resistance to chemicals. Consequently, PEB fiber has silk‐like touch and drape, good wrinkle resistance, fast and beautiful colouring, as well as properties of easy‐care. Some properties of PEB film are described too.
Towards a Social Science of Language (1997)

This is a two-volume collection of original research papers designed to reflect the breadth and depth of the impact that William Labov has had on linguistic science. Four areas of 'Labovian' linguistics are addressed: First is the study of variation and change; the papers in sections I and II of the first volume take this as their central theme, with a focus on either the social context and uses of language (I) or on the the internal linguistic dynamics of variation and change (II). The study of African American English, and other language varieties in the Americas spoken by people of African descent and influenced by their linguistic heritage, is the subject of the papers in section III of the first volume. The third theme is the study of discourse; the papers in section I of the second volume develop themes in Labovian linguistics that go back to Labov's work on narrative, descriptive, and therapeutic discourse. Fourth is the emphasis on language use, the search for discursive, interactive, and meaningful determinants of the complexity in human communication. Papers with these themes appear in section II of the second volume.
