Lightweight Privacy-Preserving Authentication Scheme for V2G Networks in the Smart Grid (2015)

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is one of the future key technologies for the smart grid. Electric vehicles (EV) are potential power consumers that can play a crucial role by delivering the power back to the grid in order to meet the power demand. However, the V2G network has some crucial security and privacy challenges. Also the existing solutions generate a huge overhead cost and do not provide resistance against well known security attacks. In order to address the identified security and privacy challenges in the V2G smart grid network. We propose a scheme based on bilinear pairing technique with an accumulator that provides mutual authentication, and privacy preservation of EV's information such as identity, battery status, location, and charging/discharging selection and time duration. The proposed scheme defeats various security attacks, including man-in-the-middle attack, replay attack, impersonation attack, redirection attack, and repudiation attack while generating lower communication and computation overhead than existing privacy-preserving V2G mutual authentication schemes.

Device Connectivity (2015)

Patients with diabetes have to take numerous factors/data into their therapeutic decisions in daily life. Connecting the devices they are using by feeding the data generated into a database/app is supposed to help patients to optimize their glycemic control. As this is not established in practice, the different roadblocks have to be discussed to open the road. That large telecommunication companies are now entering this market might be a big help in pushing this forward. Smartphones offer an ideal platform for connectivity solutions.
Toward a Molecular Theory of Early and Late Events in Monomer to Amyloid Fibril Formation (2011)

Quantitative understanding of the kinetics of fibril formation and the molecular mechanism of transition from monomers to fibrils is needed to obtain insights into the growth of amyloid fibrils and more generally self-assembly multisubunit protein complexes. Significant advances using computations of protein aggregation in a number of systems have established generic and sequence-specific aspects of the early steps in oligomer formation. Theoretical considerations, which view oligomer and fibril growth as diffusion in a complex energy landscape, and computational studies, involving minimal lattice and coarse-grained models, have revealed general principles governing the transition from monomeric protein to ordered fibrillar aggregates. Detailed atomistic calculations have explored the early stages of the protein aggregation pathway for a number of amyloidogenic proteins, most notably amyloid β- (Aβ-) protein and fragments from proteins linked to various diseases. These computational studies have provided insights into the role of sequence, role of water, and specific interatomic interactions underlying the thermodynamics and dynamics of elementary kinetic steps in the aggregation pathway. Novel methods are beginning to illustrate the structural basis for the production of Aβ-peptides through interactions with secretases in the presence of membranes. We show that a variety of theoretical approaches, ranging from scaling arguments to minimal models to atomistic simulations, are needed as a complement to experimental studies probing the principles governing protein aggregation.
Analyses of a genic male-sterile mutant in soybean (1997)

Genetic and cytological studies were conducted with a new male-sterile, femalefertile soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] mutant. This mutant was completely male sterile and was inherited as a single-recessive gene. No differences in female or male gamete transmission of the recessive allele were observed between reciprocal cross-pollinations in the Fi or Fa generations. This mutant was not allelic to any previously identified soybean genie male-sterile mutants: ms1, ms2, ms3, ' Reprinted with permission of journal Sexual Plant Reproduction, 1997, 10:13-21.

Two dimensional highly associative level-two cache design (2008)

High associativity is important for level-two cache designs [9]. Implementing CAM-based Highly Associative Caches (CAM-HAC), however, is both costly in hardware and exhibits poor scalability. We propose to implement the CAM-HAC in macro-blocks to improve scalability. Each macro-block contains 128-row and 8-column of cache blocks. We name it Two dimensional Cache, or T-Cache. Each macro-block has an associativity equivalent to 128×8=1024-way. Twelve bits of the T-Cache’s tag are implemented by using CAM, while the remaining tag uses SRAM; Furthermore, random replacement is used in rows to balance cache sets usage while LRU is used in columns to select the victim from a row. The hardware complexity for replacement is reduced greatly compared to a traditional CAM-HAC using LRU solely. Experimental results show that the T-Cache achieves a 16% miss rate reduction over a traditional 8-way unified L2 cache. This translates into an average IPC improvement of 5% and as high as 18%. The T-Cache exhibits a 4% total memory access-related energy savings due to the reduction to applications’ execution time.
Meta-Analysis of Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Trials Testing Low Tidal Volumes (2002)

The use of low tidal volumes (5-7 ml/kg measured body weight) as a protective lung strategy is becoming widely recommended for patients with acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring mechanical ventilation (1-4). However, clinical trials testing low tidal volumes in ALI and ARDS have not shown uniform results (5-7). This has led some experts to recommend avoiding high tidal volumes during mechanical ventilation in these patients (6, 8), whereas other experts advocate using very low tidal volumes (1-4). Our concern, shared by others (9), was that trials showing low tidal volumes to be beneficial did not use control arms that reflected the current best practice standards at the time. Instead, the trials compared very low tidal volumes (5-7 ml/kg measured body weight) with traditional tidal volumes (10 ml/kg or more), which were higher than those routinely used (8-9 ml/kg) (10-13). As a result, those studies were inconclusive. We performed a meta-analysis to investigate why five randomized, prospective clinical trials produced disparate results and to critically evaluate the basis for recommending low tidal volume ventilation in ALI and ARDS (3-7). In this analysis, we demonstrate that there is a significant difference in the effects of low tidal volume on survival among the five trials. We then compare the tidal volumes and plateau airway pressures from the five trials to determine whether these account for differences in survival. In contrast to previous explanations based on the low tidal volumes tested (4), this meta-analysis demonstrates that significant differences in the control arms can account for the discrepant results among these five trials.

<title>Optical moire leveraging analysis</title> (1994)

The effect of optical moire as created by the interference of two grating patterns, is a proven means to extend the range of some structured light contouring methods. As has been used for years on glass scale encoders, the moire effect allows small displacements to be measured from lines well below the resolution limit of the camera system used to view the patterns. This paper will present an overview of how this effect can be used effectively. This analysis will include formulation of means to quantify the optical leverage effect of the moire for 3D contouring applications, and a quantitative comparison of resolution limits for moire versus straight structured light. The benefits and limitations of optical moire leveraging will be discussed for good and bad applications of the technique. Finally, the optical methods that can be employed to improve the images of moire patterns will be presented.
Toward a Differential Diagnosis of Hidden Hearing Loss in Humans (2016)

Recent work suggests that hair cells are not the most vulnerable elements in the inner ear; rather, it is the synapses between hair cells and cochlear nerve terminals that degenerate first in the aging or noise-exposed ear. This primary neural degeneration does not affect hearing thresholds, but likely contributes to problems understanding speech in difficult listening environments, and may be important in the generation of tinnitus and/or hyperacusis. To look for signs of cochlear synaptopathy in humans, we recruited college students and divided them into low-risk and high-risk groups based on self-report of noise exposure and use of hearing protection. Cochlear function was assessed by otoacoustic emissions and click-evoked electrocochleography; hearing was assessed by behavioral audiometry and word recognition with or without noise or time compression and reverberation. Both groups had normal thresholds at standard audiometric frequencies, however, the high-risk group showed significant threshold elevation at high frequencies (10-16 kHz), consistent with early stages of noise damage. Electrocochleography showed a significant difference in the ratio between the waveform peaks generated by hair cells (Summating Potential; SP) vs. cochlear neurons (Action Potential; AP), i.e. the SP/AP ratio, consistent with selective neural loss. The high-risk group also showed significantly poorer performance on word recognition in noise or with time compression and reverberation, and reported heightened reactions to sound consistent with hyperacusis. These results suggest that the SP/AP ratio may be useful in the diagnosis of "hidden hearing loss" and that, as suggested by animal models, the noise-induced loss of cochlear nerve synapses leads to deficits in hearing abilities in difficult listening situations, despite the presence of normal thresholds at standard audiometric frequencies.
Pulse-width modulation in defocused three-dimensional fringe projection (2010)

Shape measurements by fringe projection methods require high-quality sinusoidal fringes. We present a sinusoidal fringe generation technique that utilizes slightly defocused binary fringe projection. The proposed method is a spatial version of the well-known pulse-width modulation (PWM) technique of electrical engineering. PWM is easy to implement using off-the-shelf projectors, and it allows us to overcome the gamma problem (i.e., the nonlinear projector response) in the output light intensity. We will demonstrate that, with a small defocusing level--lower than with other techniques proposed in the literature--a high-quality sinusoidal pattern is obtained. Validation experiments using a commercial video projector are presented.
Design, DSP implementation, and performanceofartificial-intelligence-based speed estimators forelectromechanical drives (1998)

The paper discusses the design and DSP implementation of artificial-intelligence-based (AIB) speed estimators for control applications in electromechanical drives. The design and performance of AIB estimators based on feedforward and recursive artificial neural networks (ANNs), associative memory networks (AMNs) and neuro-fuzzy networks (NFNs) are compared and discussed. Emphasis is placed on the development of minimal configuration estimators with a view to reducing DSP requirements. It is shown that it is an advantage of the AIB approach to estimator design that neither a conventional drive model nor a knowledge of any drive parameters are required and that an estimate of rotor speed can be obtained using only measurements of supply voltages and/or currents. The DSP system used is based on the Texas Instruments TMS320C31 mounted in a host PC. Results are presented for the real-time application to the speed control of a small DC drive and the estimators are shown to provide a sufficiently accurate speed estimate resulting in stable, robust, speed control. The DSP requirements and performances of each of the estimator forms are presented and compared and it is shown that the overheads imposed by implementation of these estimators is small.
A Natural Facial Expression Recognition Using Differential-AAM and k-NNS (2008)

This paper proposes a novel natural facial expression recognition method that recognizes a sequence of dynamic facial expression images using the differential active appearance model (AAM) and k-NNS as follows. First, we use the differential-AAM features (DAFs) that are computed from the difference of the AAM parameters between an input face image and a reference face image. Second, we perform the manifold learning. Third, we recognize the facial expression of the input face image in the embedded feature space using sequence based k-NN, k-NNS. Since we use DAFs, we also propose an effective way of finding the neutral facial expression as kernel density approximation. Experimental results show that (1) the DAFs improves the facial expression recognition performance than the conventional AAM features by 20% and (2) the sequence-based k-nearest neighbors classifier provides a 95% of facial expression recognition performance on the facial expression database (FED06).
Middle to Upper Devonian melanges in SW Spain and their relationship to the Meneage Formation in south Cornwall (2015)

Melange deposits have recently been discovered in SW Spain in the Oceanic Exotic Terrane between the Ossa Morena Zone and the South Portuguese Zone. They occur in tectonic slices of different metamorphic grade where they have been imbricated together in the immediate footwall to the Beja-Acebuches Amphibolites. Debris in the melange includes greywacke, quartzite and amphibolite phacoids and also exotic material such as serpentinite and marble. Available palaeontological dating supports Givetian to Famennian ages for the imbricated sedimentary sequences. The geological setting of the Oceanic Exotic Terrane is analogous to that of the Gramscatho Basin in SW England. This demonstrates that similar processes were operating during the Upper Devonian in both SW England and SW Spain which were linked around the Iberian-Armorican arc.
SARS-CoV-2 detection using BGI RT-PCR kit v1 (2020)

Purpose of examination / Clinical relevance At the end of 2019, several pneumonia cases were reported in Wuhan, China and the pathogen was confirmed as a new viral strain. World Health organization has named the newly identified coronavirus as 2019-nCoV, also known as COVID19. The disease developed into a dangerous pandemic, posing major challenges to the NHS. Although more research is necessary to better understand the virus, in response to the emergency, simple and rapid testing is essential to identify the virus in infected individuals. This will aid the implementation of efficient interventions to contain the spread, and distinguish healthcare workers who have been infected, and are required to self-isolate, from those showing similar symptoms but which are not 2019-nCoV associated. The latter category may continue to work, alleviating stress on hard-pressed healthcare resources. 2019-nCoV is an RNA virus, and the diagnostic tests detect viral RNA in swabs from patient airways using a reverse transcriptase PCR assay. Samples are submitted to HSL, an accredited reporting laboratory, and transferred to the Crick for testing. The first step of the process is sample receipt at the Crick. This protocol describes the preparation of the RT-PCR master mix plate, automated addition of RNA template and the reverse-transcriptase quantitative PCR of viral RNA to detect the Orf1ab region of the viral genome, which has high specificity to the 2019-nCoV virus. Furthermore, the protocol describes the analysis of the COVID-19 test results. Principles of Examination The kit is a qualitative in vitro nucleic acid amplification assay to detect the new coronavirus 2019-nCoV identified in China in 2019 using Reverse transcription PCR of RNA derived from specimen of throat swabs and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid (BALF) from individuals suspected to have been exposed to the virus. The kit is based on in vitro RT-PCR with fluorescent probes. Primers and sequence-specific fluorescence probes were designed tailored to the high conservative ORF1ab region of the 2019-nCoV genome. The probes are oligonucleotides with attached fluorophores at the 5' end (FAM as reporter) and at the 3’ end (quencher). In addition, a specific primer and probe set designed to human b-actin is included as an internal reference with fluorophores VIC/HEX attached at 5’ end as reporter. During the PCR procedure, the DNA polymerase cleaves the probe at the 5’ end and separates the reporter dye from the quencher dye when the probes hybridize to the target DNA. This cleavage results in a fluorescent signal generated by the cleaved reporter dye, which is monitored in real-time by the PCR detection system. Monitoring the fluorescence intensities during Real Time allows the qualitative detection of 2019-nCoV in specimens. Analysis of the COVID19 test results will allow the qualitative detection of the 2019-nCoV nucleic acid in specimens from patients with suspected 2019n-nCoV. This process will enable the assessment of the infection in clinical and public health practice. The workflow for reporting results from this test is illustrated below:
The micro-caddisflies (Trichoptera : Hydroptilidae) of north Sulawesi (1989)

Twenty-two species of Hydroptilidae are described from North Sulawesi, comprising the first record of this family from Sulawesi and providing further insight into the nature of the Oriental fauna. The species fall into eight genera in three Hydroptilinae tribes: (I) Stactobiini: Chrysotrichia Schmid (3 spp.), Parastactobia Schmid (1 sp.), Scelotrichia Ulmer (1 sp.), Plethus Hagen (1 sp.); (2) Hydroptilini: Hydroptila Dalman (7 spp.), Oxyethira Eaton (1 sp.), Hellyethira Neboiss (1 sp.); (3) Orthotrichiini: Orthotrichia Eaton (7 spp.). Descriptions of 18 new species are based primarily on adult males, but females of many are described and some immatures, including the hitherto unknown 5th-instar larvae, pupae and cases of Chrysotrichia and Scelotrichia. Keys to genera are provided for adults and cased larvae. In addition, keys are provided to males and females of Hydroptila and males of Chrysotrichia and Orthotrichia. A checklist of the Hydroptilidae of North Sulawesi is appended. The considerable intra-specific variation across the wide Australasian-SE. Asian ranges of Hydroptila obscura Wells, H. incertula Mosely and Oxyethira incana Ulmer is discussed, and the New Guinean H. explicata Wells is synonymised with H. obscura. Asseseement of variability in several genera leads to a redefinition of Chrysotrichia and the synonymy of Madioxyethira Schmid and Pseudoxyethira Schmid with Scelotrichia Ulmer. Relationships of stactobiine genera are considered.

The Use of Simulant Devices to Evaluate the Wear Performance of Multigraded Engine Oils (1977)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">Conditions for the laboratory simulation of engine ring and cam-and-tappet wear performance have been established. By using these test conditions, the wear performance of twelve oils of known viscometric properties has been determined. The results suggest that viscosity under either high or low shear conditions is not related to the wear performance under these thin film simulated engine conditions. Wear performance for these oils does appear to be related to the degree of polymer degradation experienced under the conditions of thin film or elastohydrodynamic lubrication.</div>
Resynthesis and peephole transformations for the optimization of large-scale asynchronous systems (2002)

Several approaches have been proposed for the syntax-directed compilation of asynchronous circuits from high-level specification languages, such as Balsa and Tangram. Both compilers have been successfully used in large real-world applications; however, in practice, these methods suffer from significant performance overheads due to their reliance on straightforward syntax-directed translation.This paper introduces a powerful new set of transformations, and an extended channel-based language to support them, which can be used an optimizing back-end for Balsa. The transforms described in this paper fall into two categories: resynthesis and peephole. The proposed optimization techniques have been fully integrated into a comprehensive asynchronous CAD package, Balsa. Experimental results on several substantial design examples indicate significant performance improvements. supported by NSF ITR Award No. NSF-CCR-0086036 and NSF Award No. CCR-99-88241, and by a grant from the New York State Microelectronics Design Center.
[X-ray diffraction quantitative analysis with polynomial-fit method for polycrystalline materials]. (2004)

The polynomial-fit method for XRD quantitative analysis of polycrystalline materials is presented in this paper, which combines a mathematic function model with computer technology. Based on the construction of diffraction peak mathematic function model, the XRD atlases from experiments were analyzed by means of polynomial whole pattern fitting to the spectral lines using computer software, then the integral intensities of every peak and weight percentages of each phase could be obtained accurately. This paper mainly includes three parts: 1. According to the fact that the diffraction atlases of mixture are weighted superposition of the powder diffraction atlases of each component and the weight factor of each component is relevant to its volume fraction or weight percentage, the theory of polynomial whole pattern fitting is constructed and the weight factor and weight percentage can be worked out. 2. Describe the method and procedure of data acquisition and analysis. 3. Discuss the result of quantitative analysis. The polynomial-fit method not only simplifies the process of data handling, but also increases the accuracy of analytical result.
