Possession in Two Balinese Trance Ceremonies (1996)

I discuss the construction of Balinese trance behaviors using two examples of trance possession in temple ceremonies. The view that trance states are socially constructed has long roots in anthropology. However, a closer examination of this view is warranted. In particular, I am interested in the question of the possible diversity of the constructed behavior. On the one hand, one may expect a set of general trance behaviors or experiences throughout a given society—e.g. that vision quests in a particular tribe will contain common elements, but these will vary from tribe to tribe (Lowie 1963). On the other hand, a society may offer the general outlines of acceptable trance behavior or experience, but expect them to be radically individual, depending, e.g., on the particular revelatory experience of the person. The Balinese construction of trance fits neither of these poles; rather, trance behaviors are contextualized to a particular temple but not to individual persons. Thus, the trances of the Balinese exhibit a high degree of variety from locale to locale. This unusual variety is due to two factors: a key element of Balinese Hinduism, adat (local custom), as well as a unique feature of how Balinese deities (who possess individuals in trance) are conceived.
Thermal and Strain-Induced Chain Ordering in Lactic Acid Stereocopolymers: Influence of the Composition in Stereomers (2011)

The present work reports on the study of the influence of the composition in stereomer on the mechanical behavior of d- and l-lactic acid stereocopolymers in relation with strain-induced structural evolution. The stress–strain behavior and structural changes upon stretching above the glass transition temperature have been investigated by means of in situ wide-angle X-ray scattering for a series of nearly random stereocopolymers covering a large range of compositions. All members of the family behaved like elastomers in the initial stage of stretching. However, stereocopolymers of low contents in d-units, [d], exhibited a strain-hardening phenomenon starting at strain 150% < ε < 200%, depending on the draw temperature. This strain-hardening decreased with increasing [d] up to the critical concentration [d]* ≈ 8 mol % above which all copolymers displayed an un-cross-linked rubber behavior over the whole strain range. The decrease of the strain-hardening also depended on the draw temperature, yet this sensitivity did not affect the critical concentration [d]* of the position of the transition. The occurrence of the strain-hardening has been correlated with the buildup of a strain-induced ordered phase, the nature of which being directly related to the draw temperature. Drawing at Td = 90 °C, i.e., about 20–30 °C above Tg depending on the [d] value of the copolymer, resulted in the strain-induced α′-crystalline phase. In contrast, for drawing at Td = Tg + 5 °C, the mesomorphic phase was formed. Moreover, it has been shown that the higher [d], the lower the content of ordered phase, irrespective whether it was crystal or mesophase. A parallel is made between the crystallization capabilities of the copolymers from the quiescent melt and under straining. Only stereocopolymers with [d] < [d]* were able to crystallize from the melt, as in the case of strain-induced crystallization. The occurrence of the strain-induced mesophase only in the case of crystallizable copolymers is taken as a hint of an intermediate state of order precursory to the crystalline state.
The effects of multipath and fading on the performance of direct-sequence CDMA systems (1984)

We show the following results concerning the maximum number N <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">max</inf> of simultaneous users supportable by an asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (CDMA) system using DPSK. (a) For a network of single-path nonfading links in which all users' signals arrive at any receiver with equal energies, N <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">max</inf> is 10-20 percent of the number of chips M in the system's codes at bit error rates of 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-3</sup> to 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-5</sup> .

(c) If the links consist mostly of only single fading paths and no power control is available, direct-sequence CDMA becomes unusable. Power-control policies can be devised to overcome shadowing (slow fading) or near/far problems, thus partially restoring the N <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">max</inf> of (a). It is unlikely that power control will effectively combat fast fading, especially in single-path situations.
Optical limiting behavior of <i>β</i>-BaB<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles in pulsed and continuous wave regime (2015)

Barium borate (?-BaB2O4) nanoparticles were prepared by a hydrothermal technique using barium chloride and boric acid as starting materials. Powder x-ray diffraction confirms the pure single phase formation of ?-BaB2O4. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectra shows the presence of BO3 units which extend themselves to form (B3O6)3? anionic groups in ?-BaB2O4. Scanning electron microscopy imaging shows the two-dimensional undulating particle surface with particle size in the range of 45?170?nm. ?-BaB2O4 has strong absorption in the UV region and it possesses a wide optical transmittance window (201 to 1100?nm). The optical band gap of the ?-BaB2O4 nanoparticle is estimated to be 5.9?eV. In the photoluminescence spectra the presence of self trapped excitonic state (347?nm) was identified. The third order optical nonlinearity of the sample excited in two different pumping regimes, short pulse excitation (532?nm, 5?ns) and continuous wave laser (532?nm, 50?mW) was studied. The material shows limiting behavior due to two photon absorption in the pulsed laser regime and self defocusing in the continuous wave regime.
Exploring semi-supervised and active learning for activity recognition (2008)

In recent years research on human activity recognition using wearable sensors has enabled to achieve impressive results on real-world data. However, the most successful activity recognition algorithms require substantial amounts of labeled training data. The generation of this data is not only tedious and error prone but also limits the applicability and scalability of today's approaches. This paper explores and systematically analyzes two different techniques to significantly reduce the required amount of labeled training data. The first technique is based on semi-supervised learning and uses self-training and co-training. The second technique is inspired by active learning. In this approach the system actively asks which data the user should label. With both techniques, the required amount of training data can be reduced significantly while obtaining similar and sometimes even better performance than standard supervised techniques. The experiments are conducted using one of the largest and richest currently available datasets.
Association of DF Bearing Measurements with Radar Tracks (1987)

The problem of associating direction finding (DF) bearingmeasurements with radar tracks is formulated as a multiplehypothesis testing problem. A simple decision rule for associating aset of DF bearing measurements with no radar track or one of mpossible radar tracks was developed using a combination of Bayesian and Neyman-Pearson approaches. The decision algorithmwas checked using both computer simulations and experimentaldata. Finally, a multiplatform algorithm was formulated and tested,using a combination of real and synthetic data.
Frequency-Reconfigurable Low-Profile Circular Monopolar Patch Antenna (2014)

A novel frequency-reconfigurable antenna is presented based on a circular monopolar patch antenna. The antenna comprises of a center-fed circular patch surrounded by four sector-shaped patches. Eight varactor diodes are introduced to bridge the gaps between the circular patch and the sector-shaped patches. By changing the reverse bias voltage of the varactor diodes, the antenna can be switched in the operating frequency. A fully functional prototype is developed and tested, which exhibits a continuously tunable frequency band from 1.64 GHz to 2.12 GHz. The measured efficiency rises from about 45% to about 85% as the operating frequency increases from 1.64 GHz to 2.12 GHz. Stable monopole like radiation patterns are achieved at all operating frequencies. In addition, the antenna owns a low-profile structure (0.04 free-space wavelengths at 1.9 GHz). The frequency selective feature and stable radiation patterns make the antenna potentially suitable for future wireless communication systems, such as cognitive radio.

Epigenetic Regulation of Nanog by MiR-302 Cluster-MBD2 Completes Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Reprogramming (2012)

While most somatic cells undergoing induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell reprogramming with Yamanaka factors accumulate at stable partially reprogrammed stages, the molecular mechanisms required to achieve full reprogramming are unknown. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) fine-tune mRNA translation and are implicated in reprogramming, but miRNA functional targets critical for complete iPS cell reprogramming remain elusive. We identified methyl-DNA binding domain protein 2 (MBD2) as an epigenetic suppressor, blocking full reprogramming of somatic to iPS cells through direct binding to NANOG promoter elements preventing transcriptional activation. When we overexpressed miR-302 cluster we observed a significant increase in conversion of partial to fully reprogrammed iPS cells by suppressing MBD2 expression, thereby increasing NANOG expression. Thus, expression of exogenous miR-302 cluster (without miR-367) is efficient in attaining a fully reprogrammed iPS state in partially reprogrammed cells by relieving MBD2-mediated inhibition of NANOG expression. Our studies provide a direct molecular mechanism involved in generating complete human iPS cell reprogramming to study disease pathogenesis, drug screening, and for potential cell-based therapies.

25.5 A 320GHz phase-locked transmitter with 3.3mW radiated power and 22.5dBm EIRP for heterodyne THz imaging systems (2015)

Non-ionizing terahertz imaging using solid-state integrated electronics has been gaining increasing attention over the past few years. However, there are currently several factors that deter the implementations of fully-integrated imaging systems. Due to the lack of low-noise amplification above f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">max</sub> , the sensitivity of THz pixels on silicon cannot match that of its mm-Wave or light-wave counterparts. This, combined with the focal-plane array configuration adopted by previous sensors, requires exceedingly large power for the illumination sources. Previous works on silicon have demonstrated 1mW radiation [1,3]; but higher power, as well as energy efficiency, are needed for a practical imaging system. In addition, heterodyne imaging scheme was demonstrated to be very effective in enhancing detection sensitivity [4]. Due to the preservation of phase information, it also enables digital beam forming with a small number of receiver units. This however requires phase locking between the THz source and receiver LO with a small frequency offset (IF<;1GHz). In [5], a 300GHz PLL is reported with probed output. In this paper, a 320GHz transmitter using SiGe HBTs is presented (Fig. 25.5.1). Combining 16 coherent radiators, this work achieves 3.3mW radiated power with 0.54% DC-RF efficiency, which are the highest among state-of-the-art silicon THz radiators shown in the comparison table in Fig. 25.5.6. Meanwhile, the output beam is phase-locked by a fully-integrated PLL, which enables high-performance heterodyne imaging systems.

Activation uniformity improvement of undoped semi-insulating GaAs with an improved post-implant anneal furnace (1989)

In this article we illustrate how by suitable furnace design, the radial thermal gradients generated on a GaAs substrate during the post-implant anneal cycle can be virtually eliminated, and how such a technique can result in appreciable improvements in on-wafer activation uniformity with improved activation efficiency uniformity in going from the seed to the tail-end wafer of an ingot.
Crystallization Conditions of Crystal Agglomerates Suitable for Filtration Separation (2006)

Although crystallization process is optimized mainly with respect to the physicochemical properties, the mechanical properties such as the strength of crystal particles are the important factors in the industrial process because the crystallization usually follows the filtration process and the filtration time occupies relatively a long time in the whole processing time. In this study, the crystallization process of a sulfate which forms spherical agglomerate of primary crystal particles has been studied with particular attention to the effect of the operating conditions of crystallization on the filtation characteristics of crystal agglomerates.The filtration characteristics were evaluated by the specific resistance calculated from Darcy's equation through the filtration experiments carried out under constant pressure drop. The compression ratio is also measured with a tapping method. It was found that the specific resistance has almost no correlation with the compression ratio, suggesting that the compression ratio is an inadequate parameter for the evaluation of the filtration characteristics. The specific resistance of agglomerated crystal is higher at a lower crystallization temperature and a higher mixing speed during crystallization. However, the amount of seed particles has no effect on the specific resistance.The centrifugal filtration time under optimized conditions were compared with the filtration time under the condition employed in an industrial process. It was confirmed that the filtration time of the tested sulfate crystals can be reduced to a half by optimizing of the operating conditions of crystallization.

As a result, significant dark-current I <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Dark</sub> suppression by more than four orders of magnitude was demonstrated, leading to an impressive I <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Dark</sub> of ~11.5 nA for an applied bias V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">A</sub> of 1.0 V. Optical measurements performed at a photon wavelength of 1550 nm revealed the achievement of good internal responsivity and quantum efficiency of ~530 mA/W and 42.4%, respectively, making such a high-performance Ge-on-SOI MSM photodetector a promising option for optical communication applications.
Epigenetic reprogramming of the human <i>H19</i> gene in mouse embryonic cells does not erase the primary parental imprint (1998)

These results indicated that human imprint marks could function effectively in mouse cells, and that the imprinting process was epigenetically reprogrammed in embryonal carcinoma cells, without erasure of the primary imprint that marked the parental origin. Therefore, these mono-chromosomal hybrids could provide a valuable in vitro system to study the mechanisms involved in the regulation of imprinted gene expression.
Electric Vehicle Charging Load Forecasting: A Comparative Study of Deep Learning Approaches (2019)

Load forecasting is one of the major challenges of power system operation and is crucial to the effective scheduling for economic dispatch at multiple time scales. Numerous load forecasting methods have been proposed for household and commercial demand, as well as for loads at various nodes in a power grid. However, compared with conventional loads, the uncoordinated charging of the large penetration of plug-in electric vehicles is different in terms of periodicity and fluctuation, which renders current load forecasting techniques ineffective. Deep learning methods, empowered by unprecedented learning ability from extensive data, provide novel approaches for solving challenging forecasting tasks. This research proposes a comparative study of deep learning approaches to forecast the super-short-term stochastic charging load of plug-in electric vehicles. Several popular and novel deep-learning based methods have been utilized in establishing the forecasting models using minute-level real-world data of a plug-in electric vehicle charging station to compare the forecasting performance. Numerical results of twelve cases on various time steps show that deep learning methods obtain high accuracy in super-short-term plug-in electric load forecasting. Among the various deep learning approaches, the long-short-term memory method performs the best by reducing over 30% forecasting error compared with the conventional artificial neural network model.
