Evaluating methods to rediscover missing web pages from the web infrastructure (2010)

Missing web pages (pages that return the 404 "Page Not Found error) are part of the browsing experience. The manual use of search engines to rediscover missing pages can be frustrating and unsuccessful. We compare four automated methods for rediscovering web pages. We extract the page's title, generate the page's lexical signature (LS), obtain the page's tags from the bookmarking website delicious.com and generate a LS from the page's link neighborhood. We use the output of all methods to query Internet search engines and analyze their retrieval performance. Our results show that both LSs and titles perform fairly well with over 60% URIs returned top ranked from Yahoo!. However, the combination of methods improves the retrieval performance. Considering the complexity of the LS generation, querying the title first and in case of insufficient results querying the LSs second is the preferable setup. This combination accounts for more than 75% top ranked URIs.

A Transactional Analysis Decision-Making Model and Ethical Hierarchy (1994)

Making ethical decisions is often difficult. This article discusses a five-step process that moves from identifying a problematic situation, to determining its professional relevance, and then to sorting out the differences between ideals, values, and ethics. The last steps relate to legal duties and ethical obligations. Even with this type of thorough consideration, problems may still exist because there are frequent conflicts between ethical obligations and between ethical obligations and legal duties. Using a hierarchy of ethics, some of these dilemmas can be resolved. A hierarchy of TA ethics and legal duties is proposed.
Molecular cloning and structure of the human interleukin 2 receptor gene (1985)

We have cloned the IL-2 receptor gene from human genomic DNA libraries using IL-2 receptor cDNA as probe. The genomic DNA segments that hybridized with cDNA were subcloned in M13 phages and their sequences were determined. The nucleotide sequences showed that the IL-2 receptor gene was encoded by eight exons and that the coding region sequences agreed completely with that of the IL-2 receptor cDNA cloned from a cell line derived from adult T cell leukemia (ATL), in which IL-2 receptors are expressed abnormally. The nucleotide sequence of the 5'-flanking region had a putative promotor region, which had some homology with the human IL-2 gene. Transcription initiation sites were clustered about 25 bp 3' to the TATA box as assessed by primer extension analysis. These sites for normal and ATL T cells were the same. Exons 2 and 4 encoding the extracytoplasmic portion had significant homology, suggesting that the two exons are derived by duplication of an ancestral exon. Exon 2 contained six cysteine residues, four of which are conserved at the corresponding positions in exon 4.
Surface passivation of p-type crystalline Si by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited amorphous SiCx:H films (2001)

Excellent passivation properties of intrinsic amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiCx:H) films deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition on single-crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafers have been obtained. The dependence of the effective surface recombination velocity, Seff, on deposition temperature, total pressure and methane (CH4) to silane (SiH4) ratio has been studied for these films using lifetime measurements made with the quasi-steady-state photoconductance technique. The dependence of the effective lifetime, τeff, on the excess carrier density, Δn, has been measured and also simulated through a physical model based on Shockley–Read–Hall statistics and an insulator/semiconductor structure with fixed charges and band bending. A Seff at the a-SiCx:H/c-Si interface lower than 30 cm s−1 was achieved with optimized deposition conditions. This passivation quality was found to be three times better than that of noncarbonated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films deposited under equivalent conditions.
Synergizing spatial and temporal texture (2002)

Temporal texture accounts for a large proportion of motion commonly experienced in the visual world. Current temporal texture techniques extract primarily motion-based features for recognition. We propose a representation where both the spatial and the temporal aspects of texture are coupled together. Such a representation has the advantages of improving efficiency as well as retaining both spatial and temporal semantics. Flow measurements form the basis of our representation. The magnitudes and directions of the normal flow are mapped as spatiotemporal textures. These textures are then aggregated over time and are subsequently analyzed by classical texture analysis tools. Such aggregation traces the history of a motion which can be useful in the understanding of motion types. By providing a spatiotemporal analysis, our approach gains several advantages over previous implementations. The strength of our approach was demonstrated in a series of experiments, including classification and comparisons with other algorithms.
3-D Placement of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Base Station (UAV-BS) for Energy-Efficient Maximal Coverage (2017)

Unmanned aerial vehicle mounted base stations (UAV-BSs) can provide wireless services in a variety of scenarios. In this letter, we propose an optimal placement algorithm for UAV-BSs that maximizes the number of covered users using the minimum transmit power. We decouple the UAV-BS deployment problem in the vertical and horizontal dimensions without any loss of optimality. Furthermore, we model the UAV-BS deployment in the horizontal dimension as a circle placement problem and a smallest enclosing circle problem. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method for different spatial distributions of the users.
Effects of branched‐chain amino acid‐enriched nutrient for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma following radiofrequency ablation: A one‐year prospective trial (2010)

Smartwatch-assisted robust 6-DOF hand tracker for object manipulation in HMD-based augmented reality (2016)

We introduce a smartwatch assisted sensor fusion approach to robustly track 6-DOF hand movement in head mounted display (HMD) based augmented reality (AR) environment, which can be used for robust 3D object manipulation. Our method uses a wrist-worn smartwatch with HMD-mounted depth sensor to robustly track 3D position and orientation of user's hand. We introduce HMD-based augmented reality platform with smartwatch, and method to accurately calibrate orientation between smartwatch and HMD. We also implement natural 3D object manipulating system using 6-DOF hand tracker with hand grasping detection. Our proposed system is easy to use, and doesn't require any hand held devices.
The effect of integration time on fluctuation measurements: calibrating an optical trap in the presence of motion blur (2006)

Dynamical instrument limitations, such as finite detection bandwidth, do not simply add statistical errors to fluctuation measurements, but can create significant systematic biases that affect the measurement of steady-state properties. Such effects must be considered when calibrating ultra-sensitive force probes by analyzing the observed Brownian fluctuations. In this article, we present a novel method for extracting the true spring constant and diffusion coefficient of a harmonically confined Brownian particle that extends the standard equipartition and power spectrum techniques to account for video-image motion blur. These results are confirmed both numerically with a Brownian dynamics simulation, and experimentally with laser optical tweezers.
Enhanced Luminescence from Emissive Defects in Aggregated Conjugated Polymers (2007)

Degradation experiments and model studies suggested that the longer lived green fluorescence from an aggregated poly(p-phenylene ethynylene) (PPE) was due to the presence of highly emissive, low-energy, anthryl defect sites rather than the emissive conjugated polymer excimers proposed in a previous report. After elucidating the origin of the green fluorescence, additional anthryl units were purposely incorporated into the polymer to enhance the blue-to-green fluorescence color change that accompanied polymer aggregation. The improved color contrast from this anthryl-doped conjugated polymer led to the development of crude solution-state and solid-state sensors, which, upon exposure to water, exhibited a visually noticeable blue-to-green fluorescence color change.
The Dielectric Strength of Gaseous Fluorocarbons (1950)

The sixty-cycle dielectric strengths of some gaseous fluorocarbons have been measured between three differently shaped electrode pairs at pressures up to three atmospheres. The breakdown potentials for propforane, butforane, and pentforane were found, in most instances, to be equal to or greater than those for sulfur hexafluoride under comparable conditions, and to be far greater than those for nitrogen. Fluorocarbons thus have possible uses as gaseous insulators in high voltage apparatus.
Semantic queries by example (2013)

With the ever increasing quantities of electronic data, there is a growing need to make sense out of the data. Many advanced database applications are beginning to support this need by integrating domain knowledge encoded as ontologies into queries over relational data. However, it is extremely difficult to express queries against graph structured ontology in the relational SQL query language or its extensions. Moreover, semantic queries are usually not precise, especially when data and its related ontology are complicated. Users often only have a vague notion of their information needs and are not able to specify queries precisely. In this paper, we address these challenges by introducing a novel method to support semantic queries in relational databases with ease. Instead of casting ontology into relational form and creating new language constructs to express such queries, we ask the user to provide a small number of examples that satisfy the query she has in mind. Using those examples as seeds, the system infers the exact query automatically, and the user is therefore shielded from the complexity of interfacing with the ontology. Our approach consists of three steps. In the first step, the user provides several examples that satisfy the query. In the second step, we use machine learning techniques to mine the semantics of the query from the given examples and related ontologies. Finally, we apply the query semantics on the data to generate the full query result. We also implement an optional active learning mechanism to find the query semantics accurately and quickly. Our experiments validate the effectiveness of our approach.
A Passive EMI Filter for Eliminating Both Bearing Current and Ground Leakage Current From an Inverter-Driven Motor (2006)

This paper presents a practical approach to eliminating both bearing current and ground leakage current from an inverter-driven motor rated at 400 V and 3.7 kW. When the shaft voltage with respect to the motor frame exceeds the dielectric breakdown voltage of thin lubricating grease films in two metal bearings at the drive and non-drive ends, an electrical discharge machining (EDM) current flows through the bearings. A passive electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter can keep the shaft voltage in check, as a result of having eliminated high-frequency common-mode voltage from the motor terminals. Hence, no dielectric breakdown occurs in the grease films, so that no EDM current flows in the bearings. Experimental results verify the viability and effectiveness of the passive EMI filter designed in this paper
Reduction of regional cerebral blood flow during brain retraction pressure in the rat (1982)

The use of brain retractors in intracranial operations may lead to focal cerebral ischemia and thereby cause brain infarction. To estimate the risk of ischemic damages, the authors investigated the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in rats by means of autoradiography with 14C-iodoantipyrine at different brain retractor pressures (BRP). A reduction in rCBF to between 10 and 75 ml/100 gm/min with 20 mm Hg of BRP for 30 minutes was found in brain cortex lying under the retractor (normal 55 to 150 ml/100 gm/ min). With a BRP of 30 mm Hg for 30 minutes, rCBF was reduced to between 0 and 40 ml/100 gm/min, and with a BRP of 40 mm Hg for 15 minutes rCBF was 0 to 15 ml/100 gm/min. The rCBF in the basal ganglia remained unchanged. Even with a BRP of 20 mm Hg for 30 minutes, there seemed to be a risk of focal ischemic damage.
Prediction of the degree of liver fibrosis using different pattern recognition techniques (2010)

Liver biopsy is considered as mandatory for the management of patients infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV), particularly for staging of fibrosis degree. However, due to its invasive nature and limitations of sampling error, the tendency is to substitute the liver biopsy with non-invasive method. The objective of this study is to combine the serum biomarkers and histopathological findings to develop a classification model that can predict the hepatic fibrosis stage. The best developed classification model was able to predict the different fibrosis grades with accuracy of 93.7%. This accuracy represents a substantial improvement over previous works and would pave the way to utilize classification models as a clinically non-invasive and reliable method to assess the degree of liver fibrosis.
Enhancing Search Engine Performance using Expert Systems (2006)

Search engines of today do a great job of sifting through billions of pages of Internet content and returning search results highly relevant to user queries. However, in localized implementations (a local university search or an Intranet search of a private company), the same search engine technology usually has less than satisfactory performance. The technology that works well on billions of pages of general content doesn't work well on a much smaller scale of closely related content. In this paper, we analyze the performance problem in localized search engine implementations and identify specific performance issues through examining search logs. Our proposed solutions to those issues are based on utilizing an expert system where the fixes to the search issues are defined as a set of rules. We conduct experiments with California State University, Sacramento Web site, and the preliminary results indicate that when applying those rules to search engine queries and search results, search engine performance and user satisfaction are improved
Structural evolution and characteristics of the phase transformations between α-Fe2O3, Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles under reducing and oxidizing atmospheres (2013)

The mechanism and conditions for the phase transformations from α-Fe2O3 to Fe3O4 and Fe3O4 to γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles have been investigated by the thermal analysis method. The morphologies and structures of various nanoparticles after annealing in H2 : Ar at 294 °C and in an O2 atmosphere at 302 °C have been examined and characterized. Finally, we confirmed that the monodisperse, porous and magnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles could be obtained by annealing the α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles synthesized by the hydrothermal route.
Feedback-driven threading (2008)

Extracting high-performance from the emerging Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) requires that the application be divided into multiple threads. Each thread executes on a separate core thereby increasing concurrency and improving performance. As the number of cores on a CMP continues to increase, the performance of some multi-threaded applications will benefit from the increased number of threads, whereas, the performance of other multi-threaded applications will become limited by data-synchronization and off-chip bandwidth. For applications that get limited by data-synchronization, increasing the number of threads significantly degrades performance and increases on-chip power. Similarly, for applications that get limited by off-chip bandwidth, increasing the number of threads increases on-chip power without providing any performance improvement. Furthermore, whether an application gets limited by data-synchronization, or bandwidth, or neither depends not only on the application but also on the input set and the machine configuration. Therefore, controlling the number of threads based on the run-time behavior of the application can significantly improve performance and reduce power. This paper proposes Feedback-Driven Threading (FDT) , a framework to dynamically control the number of threads using run-time information. FDT can be used to implement Synchronization-Aware Threading (SAT) , which predicts the optimal number of threads depending on the amount of data-synchronization. Our evaluation shows that SAT can reduce both execution time and power by up to 66% and 78% respectively. Similarly, FDT can be used to implement Bandwidth-Aware Threading (BAT) , which predicts the minimum number of threads required to saturate the off-chip bus. Our evaluation shows that BAT reduces on-chip power by up to 78%. When SAT and BAT are combined, the average execution time reduces by 17% and power reduces by 59%. The proposed techniques leverage existing performance counters and require minimal support from the threading library.
Reduced Susceptibility to Vancomycin Influences Pathogenicity in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Infection (2009)

In the present study, we demonstrated the utility of the nonmammalian model system Galleria mellonella for studying the pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus infection. By use of clinical and laboratory strains that had been exposed to vancomycin, we showed that both agr functional status and vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration are determinants associated with the virulence of S. aureus in G. mellonella. These results show that G. mellonella can be effectively used to facilitate the in vivo study of S. aureus virulence and, more specifically, the relationship between antibiotic drug resistance and the pathogenesis of infection.

In Vitro Interaction of Flucytosine Combined with Amphotericin B or Fluconazole against Thirty-Five Yeast Isolates Determined by both the Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index and the Response Surface Approach (2002)

Combination therapy could be of benefit for the treatment of invasive yeast infections. However, in vitro interaction studies are relatively scarce and the interpretation of the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index can be contradictory due to various definitions used; not all information on the interaction study is used in the index, and different MIC end points exist for different classes of drugs. Fitting an interaction model to the whole response surface and estimation of an interaction coefficient alpha (IC(alpha)) would overcome these objections and has the additional advantage that confidence intervals of the interaction are obtained. The efficacy of flucytosine (5FC) in combination with amphotericin B (AB) and fluconazole (FCZ) was studied against 35 yeast isolates in triplicate (Candida albicans [n = 9], Candida glabrata [n = 9], Candida krusei [n = 9], and Cryptococcus neoformans [n = 8]) using a broth microdilution checkerboard method and measuring growth after 48 h by a spectrophotometer. The FIC index and IC(alpha) were determined, the latter by estimation from the response surface approach described by Greco et al. (W. R. Greco, G. Bravo, and J. C. Parsons, Pharmacol. Rev. 47:331-385, 1995) by using a computer program developed for that purpose. For the 5FC-FCZ combination, the interactions determined by the IC(alpha) generally were in concordance with the interactions determined by the FIC index, but large discrepancies were found between both methods for the 5FC-AB combination. These could mainly be explained by shortcomings in the FIC approach. The in vitro interaction of 5FC-AB demonstrated variable results depending on the tested Candida isolate. In general, the 5FC-FCZ combination was antagonistic against Candida species, but for some Candida isolates synergism was found. For C. neoformans the interaction for both combinations was highly dependent on the tested isolate and the method used. Response surface approach is an alternative method for determining the interaction between antifungal agents. By using this approach, some of the problems encountered with the FIC were overcome.
Local and Nonlocal Color Line Models for Image Matting (2014)

In this paper, we propose a new matting algorithm using local and nonlocal neighbors. We assume that K nearest neighbors satisfy the color line model that RGB distribution of the neighbors is roughly linear and combine this assumption with the local color line model that RGB distribution of local neighbors is roughly linear. Our assumptions are appropriate for various regions such as those that are smooth, contain holes or have complex color. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms previous propagation-based matting methods. Further, it is competitive with sampling-based matting methods that require complex sampling or learning methods.
Package capacitors impact on microprocessor maximum operating frequency (2002)

This paper discusses the behavior of microprocessor (CPU) maximum operating frequency (FMAX) under various conditions. In specific, the impact of voltage and temperature on the CPU FMAX for a gate delay dominated design vs. an RC-interconnect delay dominated design are described. As voltage tolerance is reduced through proper design placement of package capacitors, and using the optimal amount of capacitance and resistance (ESR) for the package capacitors, the CPU FMAX increases.
The spectrum of laparoscopic surgery (1992)

Laparoscopic procedures have begun to replace many conventional operations because of the avoidance of major surgery and the rapid recovery of the patient. The majority of these traditional operations will be performed laparoscopically in the future. For example, patients who suffer from achalasia will be able to undergo laparoscopic cardiomyotomy and patients with non-cardiac chest pain of esophageal origin will be able to undergo thoracoscopic myotomy. Likewise, a viable alternative to long-term medication with H2 blockers or omeprazole will be laparoscopic posterior vagotomy and anterior lesser curve seromyotomy. As methods are developed to deal with the extraction of large specimens, many ablative procedures will be undertaken by the laparoscopic route. Extraction techniques must not compromise the need for histopathological examination of the resected specimen in cancer resections. The ultimate spectrum of laparoscopic surgery will be determined by the progress in remote handling technology, overcoming the manipulative restrictions inherent in the current instrumentation. Research evaluating the efficacy of new methods will be essential.
