Coiled tubing drilling requires economic and technical analyses (1995)

Field experience has proven that coiled tubing drilling is a technical and economic option on some wells; however, coiled tubing drilling is not the solution to every drilling prospect or production-enhancement job. To determine if coiled tubing drilling is viable, the geographic, technical, and economic aspects of each project must be considered in detail. Generally, with some limitations, coiled tubing drilling is feasible primarily when jointed pipe cannot be used effectively. Also, coiled tubing drilling may be more appropriate because of some special well site requirements, such as environmental regulations requiring less surface disturbance. The paper discusses technical considerations which need to be considered, economic feasibility, limitations of well types (new shallow wells, conventional reentry, through-tubing reentry, and underbalanced drilling), and outlook for further growth in the coiled tubing drilling industry.
Predicting Default Payment of Credit Card Users: Applying Data Mining Techniques (2018)

Over the years, credit card debt crisis is the main issue in share market and card-issuing banks. Most card users, regardless of their payment capability, overused credit cards and cash-card debts. This catastrophe is the biggest challenge for both card holders and banks. The study aimed at predicting the accuracy of default payment of credit card users using data mining techniques. In this study total of six data mining techniques were applied to the data set of 30,000 individual records collected from the UCI data repository. Then we have compared our regression results with target value of the dataset. According to our test results, linear regression shows the best performance with 80% accuracy and Random Forest regression shows the lowest performance with 63% accuracy. Finally, we have evaluated the performance of each algorithm on overall dataset which was randomly sampled and found the Adaboost showing highest performance with 88% accuracy and Random Forest shows lowest performance with 70% accuracy. The study was implemented using data mining tools such as SPSS and Orange.
VEGFR signaling during lymphatic vascular development: From progenitor cells to functional vessels (2014)

Lymphatic vessels are an integral component of the cardiovascular system, serving important roles in fluid homeostasis, lipid absorption, and immune cell trafficking. Defining the mechanisms by which the lymphatic vasculature is constructed and remodeled into a functional vascular network not only provides answers to fascinating biological questions, but is fundamental to understanding how lymphatic vessel growth and development goes awry in human pathologies. While long recognized as dysfunctional in lymphedema and exploited as a route of tumor metastasis, recent work has highlighted important roles for lymphatic vessels in modulating immune responses, regulating salt-sensitive hypertension and important for lung inflation at birth. Substantial progress in our understanding of the signaling pathways important for development and morphogenesis of the lymphatic vasculature has been made in recent years. Here, we review advances in our knowledge of the best characterized of these signaling pathways, that involving the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family members VEGF-C and VEGF-D, together with their receptors VEGFR2 and VEGFR3. Recent work has defined multiple levels at which signal transduction by means of this key axis is regulated; these include control of ligand processing and bioavailability, modulation of receptor activation by interacting proteins, and regulation of receptor endocytosis and trafficking.
Pseudo-maximum-likelihood data estimation algorithm and its application over band-limited channels (2001)

A pseudo-maximum-likelihood data estimation (PML) algorithm for discrete channels with finite memory in additive white Gaussian noise environment is developed. Unlike the traditional methods that utilize the Viterbi algorithm (VA) for data sequence estimation, the PML algorithm offers an alternative solution to the problem. The simplified PML algorithm is introduced to reduce the computational complexity of the PML algorithm for channels with long impulse response. The adaptive version of the PML algorithm suitable for time-varying channels such as frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels is also introduced. Computer simulation results demonstrate the performance of these algorithms and compare them to the VA-based techniques for different types of channels. The performance design criterion for the PML algorithm is derived in the Appendix.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 <i>tat</i> Gene Enhances Human Cytomegalovirus Gene Expression and Viral Replication (1991)

Clonal lines of human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells, constitutively expressing human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) tat gene (RD tat cell lines) showed enhanced expression of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) immediate-early (IE) and late (L) proteins upon HCMV infection, as compared with control RD cells. One of the RD tat cell lines produced infectious HCMV. The RD-tat cell lines, following transfection with recombinant plasmids containing the full length of the HCMV-IE enhancer/promoter linked to the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene, exhibited an increased CAT expression by the tat product. A chronically HIV-1-infected human T-lymphoid cell line, SupT1, superinfected with HCMV, expressed HCMV-IE proteins while the parental SupT1 cells infected with HCMV were negative. Parental SupT1 cells coinfected with HIV-1 and HCMV also expressed HCMV-IE proteins, indicating that HIV-1-encoded proteins exert a positive regulatory effect on HCMV expression.
Identifying Multiple Outliers in Multivariate Data (1992)

SUMMARY We propose a procedure for the detection of multiple outliers in multivariate data. Let X be an n × p data matrix representing n observations on p variates. We first order the n observations, using an appropriately chosen robust measure of outlyingness, then divide the data set into two initial subsets: A ‘basic’ subset which contains p +1 ‘good’ observations and a ‘non-basic’ subset which contains the remaining n - p - 1 observations. Second, we compute the relative distance from each point in the data set to the centre of the basic subset, relative to the (possibly singular) covariance matrix of the basic subset. Third, we rearrange the n observations in ascending order accordingly, then divide the data set into two subsets: A basic subset which contains the first p + 2 observations and a non-basic subset which contains the remaining n - p - 2 observations. This process is repeated until an appropriately chosen stopping criterion is met. The final non-basic subset of observations is declared an outlying subset. The procedure proposed is illustrated and compared with existing methods by using several data sets. The procedure is simple, computationally inexpensive, suitable for automation, computable with widely available software packages, effective in dealing with masking and swamping problems and, most importantly, successful in identifying multivariate outliers.
Ontology View Extraction: An Approach Based on Ontological Meta-properties (2014)

Ontologies have been applied in Computer Science to ensure the semantic interoperability among multiple systems. With the increasing of ontologies availability, many approaches for promoting the share and reuse of ontologies have been investigated in recent years, like ontology module extraction (modularization) and ontology view extraction. Approaches for ontology module extraction are used for extracting modules in large ontologies. On the other hand, ontology views have been used for providing to the user only the parts of the ontology that are useful for a given task. Thus, both ontology views and ontology modules encapsulate a subset of the original ontology, but they have different purposes. The literature has explored the ontological meta-properties (such as identity and rigidity) for guiding the modeling decisions that are made during the ontology engineering process. Some of these meta-properties were formalized in foundational ontologies like UFO (Unified foundational ontology). In this paper, we explore the use of ontological meta-properties for extracting ontology views. We propose a characterization of the notion of well-founded ontology view, considering the ontological meta-properties of the concepts. Besides that, we also propose a language-independent algorithm for sub-ontology extraction that is guided by ontological meta-properties. Finally, we present a case study for illustrating the application of our approach.
Evaluation of hepatic clearance and drug-drug interactions of luteolin and apigenin by using primary cultured rat hepatocytes. (2011)

The hepatic clearance and drug-drug interactions of luteolin and apigenin were studied by using primary cultured rat hepatocytes. Luteolin and apigenin experienced extensive first-pass metabolism. The elimination percent of luteolin and apigenin was found to be 91.9% and 86.7% after 120 min of incubation. The predicted % liver blood flow was 82.3% and 85.4% for luteolin and apigenin, respectively. Total glucuronidated/sulfated conjugates of luteolin/apigenin were determined by an enzyme hydrolysis method. Compared with the elimination of pure luteolin and apigenin, the elimination of luteolin and apigenin was much lower in hydrolyzed Flos Chrysanthemi extract (FCE) containing comparable amounts of luteolin and apigenin. The effect of a series of flavonoids, including flavonols, flavones, isoflavone, flavanone, flavanonols and catechins, on the elimination of luteolin and apigenin was studied. At least four key determinants in the chemical structures of flavonoids are necessary for exerting the inhibitory effects on the conjugation: 1) catechol structure (3',4'-dihydroxylation) in the B-ring; 2) B-ring is attached to the C-2 position on the C-ring; 3) the C2-3 double bond in conjunction with the C4 carbonyl group on the C-ring; 4) no glycoside present. Investigation of clearance and interaction among flavonoids could help us better understand their bioavailability and offer insight into the approaches to be taken to minimize competitive effects, and to design appropriate bioavailability studies in humans.
Effective Diffusion Coefficients for Methanol in Sulfuric Acid Solutions Measured by Raman Spectroscopy (2008)

The diffusion of methanol into 0-96.5 wt % sulfuric acid solutions was followed using Raman spectroscopy. Because methanol reacts to form protonated methanol (CH 3OH 2 (+)) and methyl hydrogen sulfate in H 2SO 4 solutions, the reported diffusion coefficients, D, are effective diffusion coefficients that include all of the methyl species diffusing into H 2SO 4. The method was first verified by measuring D for methanol into water. The value obtained here, D = (1.4 +/- 0.6) x 10 (-5) cm (2)/s, agrees well with values found in the literature. The values of D in 39.2-96.5 wt % H 2SO 4 range from (0.11-0.3) x 10 (-5) cm (2)/s, with the maximum value of D occurring for 61.6 wt % H 2SO 4. The effective diffusion coefficients do not vary systematically with the viscosity of the solutions, suggesting that the speciation of both methanol and sulfuric acid may be important in determining these transport coefficients.
Modification of a Hyperbranched Hydridopolycarbosilane as a Route to New Polycarbosilanes (1997)

A general method for introducing various side chains onto a highly branched polysilaethylene (HBPSE) backbone is described. This method starts with a commercial oligomer mixture which has a highly branched structure, consisting of [H3SiCH2], [SiH2CH2], [SiH(CH2)2], and [Si(CH2)3] subunits combined to give an overall “SiH2CH2” average formula. Several alkyl-, aryl-, and allyl-substituted HBPSEs were prepared by first converting the parent HBPSE into a highly reactive bromo-substituted derivative which was then treated with organolithium reagents (RLi, R = C4H9, C6H13, C8H17, C6H5, C6H4N(Me)2) or Grignard reagents (RMgBr, R = Et, allyl). The parent HBPSE and its derivatives were characterized by means of NMR and IR spectroscopy, as well as elemental analysis, DSC, GPC, and VPO. It was shown that the allyl-substituted HBPSE can be used as a synthetic platform for attaching functional side chains via the hydrosilation reaction.
Autonomous Agents and Human Interpersonal Trust: Can We Engineer a Human-Machine Social Interface for Trust? (2013)

There is a recognized need to employ autonomous agents in domains that are not amenable to conventional automation and/or which humans find difficult, dangerous, or undesirable to perform. These include time-critical and mission-critical applications in health, defense, transportation, and industry, where the consequences of failure can be catastrophic. A prerequisite for such applications is the establishment of wellcalibrated trust in autonomous agents. Our focus is specifically on human-machine trust in deployment and operations of autonomous agents, whether they are embodied in cyber-physical systems, robots, or exist only in the cyber-realm. The overall aim of our research is to investigate methods for autonomous agents to foster, manage, and maintain an appropriate trust relationship with human partners when engaged in joint, mutually interdependent activities. Our approach is grounded in a systems-level view of humans and autonomous agents as components in (one or more) encompassing metacognitive systems. Given human predisposition for social interaction, we look to the multi-disciplinary body of research on human interpersonal trust as a basis from which we specify engineering requirements for the interface between human and autonomous agents. If we make good progress in reverse engineering this “human social interface,” it will be a significant step towards devising the algorithms and tests necessary for trustworthy and trustable autonomous agents. This paper introduces our program of research and reports on recent progress.
Electronic structure alternatives in nitrosylruthenium complexes (2010)

Coordination compounds [Ru(NO)L(n)] containing an electro-active metal and potentially non-innocent ligands NO (and L) can have ground state electronic structures formulated as Ru(III)(NO(+)) = {RuNO}(5), Ru(II)(NO(+)) = {RuNO}(6), Ru(II)(NO ) = {RuNO}(7) or Ru(II)(NO(-)) = {RuNO}(8). The neighbouring states of the {RuNO}(6) systems can be accessed by spectroelectrochemical methods or through chemical reactions. The co-ligands L(n) affect the electronic structures of the quite variable {RuNO}(6) examples, in contrast to the more invariant {RuNO}(7) species. Potential electro-active co-ligands L such as porphyrins or quinones provide additional alternatives for the electronic structures.
Customizing virtual networks with partial FPGA reconfiguration (2010)

Recent FPGA-based implementations of network virtualization represent a significant step forward in network performance and scalability. Although these systems have been shown to provide orders of magnitude higher performance than solutions using software-based routers, straightforward reconfiguration of hardware-based virtual networks over time is a challenge. In this paper, we present the implementation of a reconfigurable network virtualization substrate that combines several partially-reconfigurable hardware virtual routers with software virtual routers. The update of hardware-based virtual networks in our system is supported via real-time partial FPGA reconfiguration. Hardware virtual networks can be dynamically reconfigured in a fraction of a second without affecting other virtual networks operating in the same FPGA. A heuristic has been developed to allocate virtual networks with diverse bandwidth requirements and network characteristics on this heterogeneous virtualization substrate. Experimental results show that the reconfigurable virtual routers can forward packets at line rate. Partial reconfiguration allows for 20x faster hardware reconfiguration than a previous approach which migrated hardware virtual networks to software.
An Evaluation on Radhaâ€™s Beauty in Kishangarh Style (Rajasthan State) (2016)

In Indian art, Indian painting has been coming for long time tradition in Indian history.  Indian paintings were  seem in the rock painting of pre-historic times and many paintings the petro glyphs as found in the places as Bhimbetka rock shelters. In some stone, the rock paintings were found among the Bhimbetka rock shelters in 35000 year old approximately. India's Buddhist literature is replete with examples of texts which describe palaces of the army and the aristocratic class embellished with paintings, but the paintings of the Ajanta Caves are the most significant of the few survivals. Smaller scale painting in manuscripts was probably also practiced in this period, though the earliest survivals are from the medieval period. Rajasthan is found as pioneer seats of miniature paintings in India. Rajasthani paintings are reflecting continuity to great tradition of Ajanta murals and Jain art of Gujrat state.  This initial art style, which manifests in its most evolved form in the Bhagavata paintings rendered at Palam in 1566 and reflects in all subsequent major or minor art styles of Rajasthan, is a blend of indigenous art forms and the elements of the art traditions of Ajanta and Gujarat. Kishangarh is a town and a municipality in Ajmer district in the Indian state of Rajasthan . Mr. Bhagirath Choudhary is a present MLA for the period from 2013–2018. He also assisted previously in 2003-2008. It lies 18 miles north-west of Ajmer. It is well linked through Indian Railways and National Highway 8. It is the native land of the Kishangarh style of painting, which is well-known for the beautiful representations of a courtesan known as Bani Thani. In latest years, Kishangarh has come to be recognized as the ‘Marble City of India’. It is supposed to be the solitary place in the world with a temple (holy place) of nine planets. Kishangarh State was founded by the Jodhpur prince Kishan Singh in 1609.Prior to the rule of Kishan Singh this area was ruled by Maharaja Samokhan Singh who was a distant relative of Kishan Singh's family and grandfather of Naubat Khan. The ruling family of Kishangarh and the family of Naubat Khan had close ties. Maharaja Samokhan lost to the forces of Akbar and his grandson Naubat Khan was kept under house arrest. Naubat Khan later accepted Islam. Kishangarh is a city and a municipality in Ajmer district in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It was founded by Kishan Singh, a younger brother of RajaSur Singh of Jodhpur in circa 1609 and is the birth place of the Kishangarh style of paintings, which is known for the beautiful depiction of a courtesan known as Bani Thani.

GraphMat (2015)

Given the growing importance of large-scale graph analytics, there is a need to improve the performance of graph analysis frameworks without compromising on productivity. GraphMat is our solution to bridge this gap between a user-friendly graph analytics framework and native, hand-optimized code. GraphMat functions by taking vertex programs and mapping them to high performance sparse matrix operations in the backend. We thus get the productivity benefits of a vertex programming framework without sacrificing performance. GraphMat is a single-node multicore graph framework written in C++ which has enabled us to write a diverse set of graph algorithms with the same effort compared to other vertex programming frameworks. GraphMat performs 1.1-7X faster than high performance frameworks such as GraphLab, CombBLAS and Galois. GraphMat also matches the performance of MapGraph, a GPU-based graph framework, despite running on a CPU platform with significantly lower compute and bandwidth resources. It achieves better multicore scalability (13-15X on 24 cores) than other frameworks and is 1.2X off native, hand-optimized code on a variety of graph algorithms. Since GraphMat performance depends mainly on a few scalable and well-understood sparse matrix operations, GraphMat can naturally benefit from the trend of increasing parallelism in future hardware.
Phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and mitogen-stimulated S6 kinase differentially alters translation of globin mRNA. (1987)

The effects of phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 by two different protein kinases, the cAMP-dependent protein kinase and the mitogen-stimulated S6 kinase, or translation of globin mRNA in a reconstituted system and on binding of globin mRNA to 40 S ribosomal subunits were examined. The cAMP-dependent protein kinase incorporated 1.5 mol of phosphate/mol of 40 S ribosomal subunits. Phosphorylation of S6 by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase had no effect on binding of 3' terminus-labeled globin mRNA to 40 S ribosomal subunits. [3H]Leucine incorporation with 40 S ribosomal subunits phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase was identical to that observed with nonphosphorylated 40 S ribosomal subunits, although on occasion, a slight inhibition (less than 10%) was observed; there was no effect on the rate of synthesis of either the alpha or beta chains of globin. Phosphorylation with the mitogen-stimulated S6 kinase (2.5 mol/mol) did not alter binding of globin mRNA to 40 S ribosomal subunits; however, translation of globin mRNA in the reconstituted protein-synthesizing system was stimulated up to 4-fold over that observed with nonphosphorylated subunits. Synthesis of both the alpha and beta chains of globin was enhanced by phosphorylation as shown by electrophoretic analysis. Since the sites phosphorylated by the mitogen-stimulated S6 kinase are identical to those observed in vivo in response to insulin and growth-promoting compounds, the data support the hypothesis that enhanced synthesis of specific proteins may be due to phosphorylation of S6 and that differential phosphorylation of S6 can alter translation of natural mRNA.
Real-Time Implementation of Wavelet Packet Transform-Based Diagnosis and Protection of Three-Phase Induction Motors (2007)

This paper presents a real-time implementation of an online protection technique for induction motor fault detection and diagnosis. The protection system utilizes a wavelet packet transform (WPT)-based algorithm for detecting and diagnosing various disturbances occurring in three-phase induction motors. The criterion for the detection is the comparison of the coefficients of the WPT of line currents using a mother wavelet at the second level of resolution with a threshold determined experimentally during the healthy condition of the motor. The algorithm is implemented in real-time using the Texas Instrument TMS320C31 32-b floating-point digital signal processor with the help of object-oriented programming. The proposed technique is tested on two three-phase induction motors. The online test results give a response signal at the instant or within one cycle of disturbance in all cases of investigated faults. In addition, the algorithm is also tested during no load and full load operating conditions of the motor.
A potential water-soluble ytterbium-based porphyrin–cyclen dual bio-probe for Golgi apparatus imaging and photodynamic therapy (2012)

An amphiphilic water-soluble ytterbium complex which is photo-selective, functional and Golgi apparatus specific has been designed as a responsive dual probe capable of sensitizing emission within the biological window (660 and 750 nm), generating the singlet oxygen (ΦΔ = 0.45) and triggering local cell damage only upon exposure to visible and near-infrared laser excitation.
