Magnetic Properties of Fe-Si-Al Sputtered Films (1988)

Magnetic properties of Fe-Si-Al alloy films fabricated by dc magnetron sputtering were systematically examined. A remarkable relaxation in coercive force, H <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">C</sub> , by annealing was found around 300~400°C. Mechanisms of this sudden relaxation were discussed in connection with phase transformations from disordered a phase (as-deposited) to ordered DO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> structure. Precise composition dependence of H <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> in films was clarified. Excellent soft magnetic properties, H <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> = 0.5 Oe and μ <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">eff</sub> ≫ 1000 (at 5 MHz), were obtained at two different compositions: 9.0 wt%Si, 5.7 wt% Al, bal. Fe., and 8.0 wt%Si, 4.2 wt%Al, bal. Fe. The former composition was found to be nearly the same as that of bulk Sendust alloy, while the latter is completely different from bulk Sendust composition. The descussion was further developed on the composition dependence of H <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> , based on the composition dependence of magnetocrystal 1ine anisotropy, K <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sub> , and magnetostriction in bulk single crystals.
Long short-term memory networks for automatic generation of conversations (2017)

Human Machine Interface demands the communicative propriety that would be applied in various linguistic tasks. In this research, we develop an intelligent `chat bot', which generates conversational sentences via recurrent neural network and its coupled memory unit, long short-term memory (LSTM). Word strings in conversations are considered as time series data. Using a single neural network model that performs a simple task of outputting the next word from the preceding word, a conversational sentence can be generated by connecting the words. In the experiment, we performed the linguistic `Turning Test' to evaluate the proposed system.
Localisation of Nramp1 in macrophages: Modulation with activation and infection (1998)

The murine natural resistance-associated macrophage protein, Nramp1, has multiple pleiotropic effects on macrophage activation and regulates survival of intracellular pathogens including Leishmania, Salmonella and Mycobacterium species. Nramp1 acts as an iron transporter, but precisely how this relates to macrophage activation and/or pathogen survival remains unclear. To gain insight into function, anti-Nramp1 monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are used here to localise Nramp1 following activation and infection. Confocal microscope analysis in uninfected macrophages demonstrates that both the mutant (infection-susceptible) and wild-type (infection-resistant) forms of the protein localise to the membranes of intracellular vesicular compartments. Gold labelling and electron microscopy defines these compartments more precisely as electron-lucent late endosomal and electron-dense lysosomal compartments, with Nramp1 colocalizing with Lamp1 and cathepsins D and L in both compartments, with macrosialin in late endosomes, and with BSA-5 nm gold in pre-loaded lysosomes. Nramp1 is upregulated with interferon-(gamma) and lipopolysaccaride treatment, coinciding with an increase in labelling in lysosomes relative to late endosomes and apparent dispersion of Nramp1-positive vesicles from a perinuclear location towards the periphery of the cytoplasm along the microtubular network. In both control and activated macrophages, expression of the protein is 3- to 4-fold higher in wild-type compared to mutant macrophages. In Leishmania major-infected macrophages, Nramp1 is observed in the membrane of the pathogen-containing phagosomes, which retain a perinuclear localization in resting macrophages. In Mycobacterium avium-infected resting and activated macrophages, Nramp1-positive vesicles migrated to converge, but not always fuse, with pathogen-containing phagosomes. The Nramp1 protein is thus located where it can have a direct influence on phagosome fusion and the microenvironment of the pathogen, as well as in the more general regulation of endosomal/lysosomal function in macrophages.
Spatial Modulation - A New Low Complexity Spectral Efficiency Enhancing Technique (2006)

The multiplexing gain of multiple antenna transmission strongly depends on transmit and receive antenna spacing, transmit antenna synchronization, and the algorithm used to eliminate interchannel interference (ICI) at the receiver. In this paper, a new transmission approach, called spatial modulation, that entirely avoids ICI and requires no synchronization between the transmitting antennas while maintaining high spectral efficiency is presented. A block of information bits is mapped into a constellation point in the signal and the spatial domain, i.e. into the location of a particular antenna. The receiver estimates the transmitted signal and the transmit antenna number and uses the two information to de-map the block of information bits. For this purpose, a novel transmit antenna number detection algorithm called iterative-maximum ratio combining (i-MRC) is presented. Spatial modulation is used to transmit different number of information bits and i-MRC is used to estimate both the transmitted signal and the transmit antenna number. The results are compared to ideal V-BLAST (vertical-Bell Lab layered space-time) and to MRC. Spatial modulation outperforms MRC. The (bit-error-ratio) BER performance and the achieved spectral efficiency is comparable to V-BLAST. However, spatial modulation results in a vast reduction in receiver complexity.
Distribution of carboxypeptidase M on lymphoid and myeloid cells parallels the other zinc-dependent proteases CD10 and CD13 (1995)

Monoclonal antibody (MoAb) M27 was generated after immunization of mice with the human B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line Pre- ALP. Under reducing conditions, MoAb M27 precipitated a 60-kD surface- membrane molecule from Pre-ALP cells. Expression cloning of Pre-ALP cDNA showed that M27 recognizes carboxypeptidase M (CPM), a cell- surface, zinc-dependent protease known to cleave off basic C-terminal amino acids from peptide hormones. Using M27 antibody, CPM was detected only at discrete B lymphocyte developmental stages, namely on committed precursors and on germinal center cells. CPM was also expressed on mature T cells, mainly after activation. These results provide the first description of a carboxy-peptidase on lymphoid cells. In addition, CPM was found on granulocytes and monocytes, but not on their progenitors. Strikingly, CPM was present only on CD38+ cells, irrespective of lineage affiliation. Of interest, CPM displayed a largely overlapping distribution with the CD10 and CD13 peptidases, with which it shares common substrates (enkephalins, bradykinin). Collectively, the present data show a previously unrecognized distribution pattern of CPM on lymphoid and myeloid cells and suggest that CPM may cooperate with CD10 and CD13 to regulate biologic activity of peptide hormones on leukocytes.
New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase from Traveler Returning to Canada1 (2011)

An Escherichia coli isolate with New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase was isolated from a patient with pyelonephritis and prostatitis who returned to Canada after recent hospitalization in India. The patient was successfully treated with ertapenem and fosfomycin. This patient highlights the role of international travel in the spread of antimicrobial drug resistance and blaNDM-1.
Real-time monitoring of phase maps of digital shearography (2013)

Digital shearography has demonstrated great potential in direct strain measurement and, thus, has become an industrial tool for nondestructive testing (NDT), especially for NDT of delaminations and detection of impact damage in composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics and honeycomb structures. The increasing demand for high measurement sensitivity has led to the need for real-time monitoring of a digital shearographic phase map. Phase maps can be generated by applying a temporal, or spatial, phase shift technique. The temporal phase shift technique is simpler and more reliable for industry applications and, thus, has widely been utilized in practical shearographic inspection systems. This paper presents a review of the temporal phase shift digital shearography method with different algorithms and the possibility for real-time monitoring of phase maps for NDT. Quantitative and real-time monitoring of full-field strain information, using different algorithms, is presented. The potentials and limitations for each algorithm are discussed and demonstrated through examples of shearographic testing.
Use of Selective Vasodilation in Treatment of Sickle Cell Disease (1988)

Individuals with sickle cell disease and its genetic variants demonstrate a modest to severe hemolytic anemia. They are also prone to both acute and chronic vaso-occlusive phenomena, which may lead to irreversible tissue damage, organ failure, and premature death. To better understand these vaso-occlusive phenomena, it would be useful to determine the extent to which arteriolar microvascular obstruction might contribute to the pathogenesis of sickle cell disease. We studied the hematologic and ocular effects of orally administered nifedipine in several steady-state patients and compared these with a case-control group of patients not receiving nifedipine. In the nifedipine-treated patients, a striking reversal in ischemic retinal and conjunctival changes was observed, as well as a significant improvement in color vision performance. In addition, the treated subjects showed a slight but significant decline in the levels of both indirect serum bilirubin and plasma hemoglobin, suggesting a concurrent amelioration in the rate of hemolysis. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that inappropriate vaso-constriction, or frank vasospasm, perhaps in response to the altered rheology of red cells containing polymerized hemoglobin S, may play an important role in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease. Furthermore, selective vasodilation may prove to be a useful adjunctive approach to the treatment of the manifestations of the sickle syndromes.
Detection of sulfur dimers in SF6 and SF6/O2 plasma-etching discharges (1989)

Sulfur dimers were detected in sulfur-hexafluoride plasma-etching discharges using optical emission spectroscopy and laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. Dimer densities were estimated to be on the order of 1013/cm3 and appear to decrease rapidly with increasing oxygen content in the discharge.
Modulation of Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimer Formation in a Positioned Nucleosome Containing Poly(dA·dT) Tracts (1996)

We have used a defined-sequence nucleosome to concomitantly investigate the generation and location of DNA lesions in nucleosomes and their influence on nucleosome positioning (translational and rotational setting). A 134 bp HISAT sequence from the yeast DED1 promoter, containing a polypyrimidine region (40 bp) with a T6-tract, two T5-tracts, and a T9-tract, was reconstituted in nucleosomes with a defined rotational setting. T-tracts adopt unusually rigid DNA structures in solution ("T-tract structure") and are hot spots of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) formation by UV light (254 nm). DNA was irradiated with UV light before or after reconstitution. The CPD yields and distribution were analyzed by cleavage with T4 endonuclease V. The rotational setting of nucleosomal DNA was characterized by DNase I digestion. With the exception of one T5-tract (1T5), the T6-, the 2T5-, and the T9-tracts formed T-tract structure in solution. T-tract structure was lost upon folding in nucleosomes, demonstrating a dominant constraint of DNA folding in nucleosomes over that of T-tract structure. CPD formation was strongly modulated by the nucleosome structure, but the CPD distribution differed from that reported for mixed-sequence DNA. CPD formation in the nucleosome had no effect on the rotational setting of nucleosomal DNA, but the rotational setting was affected when nucleosomes were assembled on damaged DNA. The toleration of DNA distortions imposed by CPDs in nucleosomes may have important implications for the recognition and repair of these damages in chromatin.
A hardware-software codesign strategy for Loop intensive applications (2009)

Hardware-software codesign is a powerful technique that can be used to build complex systems. In this paper, we propose a compiler driven hardware-software codesign strategy that works at application level, aiming at facilitating algorithm architecture co-explorations. The proposed approach employs an intermediate code representation, called loop hierarchy tree (LHT), to perform codesign exploration, and applies a branch-and-bound search to find a hardware-software partitioning that minimizes execution latency under the given area constraints. We also developed fast cost estimation models for LHT and can be extended to handle codesign for more complex hybrid architectures. Experimental results show that our approach is successful in finding good solutions for the applications on the target codesign platform.
Visual exploration of temporal object databases (2000)

Two complementary families of users&apos; tasks may be identified during database visualization: data browsing and data analysis. On the one hand, data browsing involves extensively exploring a subset of the database using navigational interaction techniques. Classical object database browsers provide means for navigating within a collection of objects and amongst objects by way of their relationships. In temporal object databases, these techniques are not sufficient to adequately support time-related tasks, such as studying a snapshot of a collection of objects at a given instant, or detecting changes within temporal attributes and relationships. Visual data analysis on the other hand, is dedicated to the extraction of valuable knowledge by exploiting the human visual perception capabilities. In temporal databases, examples of data analysis tasks include observing the layout of a history, detecting regularities and trends, and comparing the evolution of the values taken by two or more histories. In this paper, we identify several users&apos; tasks related to temporal database exploration, and we propose three novel visualization techniques addressing them. The first of them is dedicated to temporal object browsing, while the two others are oriented towards the analysis of quantitative histories. All three techniques are shown to satisfy several ergonomic properties. Keywords: temporal database, object database, data browsing and analysis, visualization technique. 1
N′-substituted N-acyl- and N-imidoyl-thioureas: preparation and conversion of N′,N′-disubstituted compounds into 2-(N,N-disubstituted amino)thiazol-5-yl ketones (1987)

Known methods were developed to give convenient general procedures for preparing N-acyl-N′-mono and -N′,N′-disubstituted thioureas from acid chlorides, and related N-imidoyl thioureas from imidoyl chlorides. In the products from three acid chlorides and ammonium thiocyanate the acyl isothiocyanates did not appear to be accompanied by the isomeric thiocyanates.Treatment of N-(anilino)benzylidene-N′,N′-disubstituted thioureas with chloroacetone in the presence of triethylamine leads to 5-acetyl-4-phenyl -2-(N,N-disubstituted amino)thiazoles. In contrast, the corresponding N-benzoyl thioureas form only small amounts of these compounds; the main products are the 5-benzoyl-4-methyl isomers, and this unexpected outcome requires a revision of the literature. It is thought that formation of the 5-benzoyl-4-methylthiazoles involves N–C(4) fission of a cyclic intermediate to give an open-chain intermediate in which nucleophilic attack can occur at either the acetyl or the benzoyl group. One of the latter intermediates was generated directly from 2-acetyl-2-bromoacetophenone and N-methyl-N-phenylthiourea, and found to give the 5-benzoyl-4-methyl - and 5-acetyl-4-phenyl-thiazoles as the major and minor products, respectively.
Optimizing geometric design of single-lane roundabouts: consistency analysis (2004)

One of the main objectives to promote traffic safety at roundabouts is design consistency. Design consistency ensures that the speed differences along a vehicle path or between conflicting paths are smaller than a specified criterion. Traditionally, roundabout design involves an iterative process. Initially, the vehicle path radii are determined from drawing each path by freehand on the proposed roundabout geometry, and then the speeds along path elements are calculated. The process is repeated until design consistency is satisfied. This paper presents an optimization model that directly provides the design parameters that maximize design consistency. The radii of different vehicle paths (through, right, and left) are mathematically modeled for given design parameters. The optimum design parameters include vehicle path radii, approach entry widths, inscribed circle diameter, circulating width, and central island diameter. The optimization model is applicable to single-lane roundabouts with four legs intersecting at right angles. The proposed model not only makes the design process more efficient, but also guarantees the optimum design consistency.Key words: geometric design, roundabouts, horizontal curve radius, consistency, safety, optimization.
Mechanism of Heat and Oxygen Transfer under Electromagnetic CZ Crystal Growth with Cusp-Shaped Magnetic Fields (2003)

The three-dimensional time-dependent flow of the silicon melt in an electromagnetic Czochralski (EMCZ) crystal growth system with cusp-shaped magnetic fields was numerically investigated. Calculations were carried out using five different configurations of the melt and cusp-shaped magnetic fields. The results indicated that oxygen was transferred from a part of a sidewall of the crucible on which a cusp plane of the magnetic fields exists. The results also showed that the oxygen concentration at the solid-liquid interface of silicon increased when the cusp plane of the cusp-shaped magnetic fields shifted from the bottom of the crucible to the surface of the melt. © 2003 The Electrochemical Society.

Development of GIS as an information management system: a case study for the Burden Center (2003)

For a park site, it is very important and necessary to let the local planning authorities realize and understand the important aspects and benefits of the site and to establish the long-range development strategies for the location. In order to succeed during the planning process, the communication and information that flow among all the participants must be well organized. In this situation, a project-wide Geographic Information System (GIS) would be a good solution. The goal of this project is to explore the possibilities for administrative authorities to implement a GIS database system to support the site planning and management of a park site. The research is based on three parts: The first involves components related to the field of park planning and GIS technology. It provides an outline of the park planning and management process, GIS techniques, and GIS-based strategies that have been developed for use in park planning and design. The second part provides a method of developing a GIS database prototype for park planning and management. An inventory of existing assets and options for future development can be integrated in a GIS database. Then this provides a platform for the gradual development of a comprehensive park management system. The third part involves the development of a prototypical GIS database design for an existing park site. It represents a practical implementation of a GIS system for the Burden Center, an historical and agricultural research center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This system will give quality information about the Burden Center site and will serve as a foundation to facilitate park planning, decision-making, facility management, future development, and resource interpretation for educational purposes.

Psychometric Validation of a Parent-Reported Measure of Childhood Alexithymia (2021)

Abstract. Alexithymia can be defined as difficulties in describing one’s emotions and is of interest within clinical and developmental psychology as a potential mediating and exacerbating factor across multiple forms of psychopathology. Measuring alexithymia via self-reports can be challenging, as those with heightened alexithymia may have difficulties in recognizing their alexithymia traits due to impaired metacognitive skills. Thus, there would be considerable benefits to the availability of a psychometrically validated parent-reported alexithymia measure that may circumvent the issue of self-reports. We, therefore, examined the psychometric properties of a new parent-reported alexithymia measure, the Alexithymia Questionnaire for Children – Parent (AQC-P) in a community sample of 257 child-parent dyads. Furthermore, we examined the level of agreement between the parent-rated AQC-P and its self-rated counterpart, the Alexithymia Questionnaire for Children (AQC). Confirmatory factor analysis found that an oblique three-factor structure provided the best model for both AQC-P and AQC, with this structure showing measurement invariance across child gender. All subscales had omega internal consistency values > .70, supporting their reliability. Cross-informant consistency was supported by significant correlations between AQC and AQC-P scores. Results support the use of the AQC-P as a measure of parent-reported alexithymia in children.
Particle Destabilization in Highway Runoff to Optimize Pollutant Removal (2007)

Sedimentation column studies and simulations using particle size distribution suggest that low removal efficiencies of smaller particles in highway runoff would be obtained using sedimentation if coagulation-flocculation is not performed. Coagulation-flocculation studies, using metal salts (alum and ferric chloride) and one organic polymer in three molecular weights, were evaluated over the 2004–2005 storm seasons. Only the first flush or approximately the first hour of runoff was coagulated. Efficiencies were quantified with particle size distribution measurements and turbidity. Results with low dosages of metal salts were ineffective and did not improve water quality. High dosages of metal salts using a sweep floc mechanism were effective in dramatically lowering runoff turbidity, but resulted in large quantities of sludge production and required pH control. A cationic organic polymer at low dosages (<10mg∕L) was effective in coagulating highway runoff and reducing particle charge. Extended mixing time was required to achieve low turbidities (∼5 NTU). A combination of organic polymer, followed by small doses of alum (<10mg∕L), reduced mixing time and produced high quality effluent.
