Delayed Wound Healing: Can Exercise Accelerate it? (2010)

Poorly healing wounds affect millions around the world, yet preventive methods and low-cost, effective treatments are few. Wounds heal quickly through well-coordinated phases in those who are healthy and active but can become chronically nonhealing as a result of disease and inactivity. Recently it has been reported that moderate aerobic exercise accelerated healing rates in the aged. High levels of inflammation are known to delay wound healing, and aging and disease are associated with chronically increased inflammation. Therefore, exercise may help speed healing by reducing inflammation to healthier levels not only in the aged, but also in other populations with increased inflammation. Further research is needed to better characterize the anti-inflammatory effects of exercise and specific mechanisms of accelerated wound healing.

A dynamic programming procedure for automated ultrasonic measurement of the carotid artery (2002)

Describes a computerized technique for automated ultrasonic measurements of the carotid artery based on dynamic programming. Local measurements vessel echo intensity, edge strength, and continuity were extracted by image analysis techniques and included as weighted terms in a cost function. The dynamic programming procedure was used for determining the locations of the vessel interfaces in a way that the cost function was minimized. Then lumen diameter (LD) and intima-media thickness (IMT) were computed. Inter-method (auto versus manual) variability as well as inter- and intraobserver variability was studied by computing conventional coefficient of variation (CV). Inter-method (n=22), inter-observer (n=50), and intra-observer (n=47) variability of LD measurements were 1.2, 0.90, and 1.0%, respectively. Corresponding values for IMT were 3.2, 4.7, and 3.6%. These results indicate that the carotid artery can be automatically measured with accuracy.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

This is the first study to report (1) the injection of BTX-A (BOTOX) into both parotid and submandibular glands, and (2) the use of ultrasound guidance during the administration of BTX-A into salivary glands. The results suggest that the technique is safe and that BTX-A injections are effective for the treatment of sialorrhoea in patients with neurological disorders.
Robust Spatio-temporal Context Tracking Algorithm Based on Correlation Filter (2018)

Spatio-temporal context (STC) algorithm transforms the tracking process into a series of processes to find the extremum of the confidence map and fully uses the density context information around the target, which makes the algorithm rapidity and robustness. However, STC cannot deal with the situation of scale variation, motion blur and occlusion, which will cause the spatial model update error and result in the failure of the algorithm to accurately extract the target area. To deal with the problem, an improved spatio-temporal context algorithm is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the target sidelobe ratio (PSR) is used to determine the occlusion of the target. The lower the PSR value is, the more serious the target is blocked. PSR can be obtained by analyzing the response map of the target area. Secondly, the scale correlation filter is used to improve the STC algorithm, so that the algorithm can accurately and completely extract the target area. Thirdly, in order to avoid contamination of the target template when the target is occluded, a template update strategy is introduced to adapt to the appearance change of the target. The template update strategy enables our algorithm to locate the target quickly when the occlusion disappearing. Finally, experiment results on public data set are provided to show the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed algorithm.

MECHANISMS OF ADHESION BY ORAL BACTERIA (1996)

Adherence to a surface is a key element for colonization of the human oral cavity by the more than 500 bacterial taxa recorded from oral samples. Three surfaces are available: teeth, epithelial mucosa, and the nascent surface created as each new bacterial cell binds to existing dental plaque. Oral bacteria exhibit specificity for their respective colonization sites. Such specificity is directed by adhesin-receptor cognate pairs on genetically distinct cells. Colonization is successful when adherent cells grow and metabolically participate in the oral bacterial community. The potential roles of adherence-relevant molecules are discussed in the context of the dynamic nature of the oral econiche.
Gamification of Wearable Data Collection (2019)

Games are designed to build on certain inherently reward centered aspects of our psychology. This encourages the user to keep playing and engaging in the entertainment for just a bit longer. In this paper we explore the way in which gamification can be used to benefit researchers aiming to collect large amounts of data from sometimes less than enthusiastically motivated participants.
ALERT mobile: Managing coastal archaeological heritage in Western France (2013)

Present climatic change and anthropogenic pressure increasingly affect the coastal zone. Hundreds of archaeological sites are currently threatened along the European Atlantic coasts by the accelerated relative rise in sea level, erosion, and various anthropogenic modifications to the environment. Since 2006, the ALERT (Archéologie, Littoral et Réchauffement Terrestre) project has brought together researchers involved in coastal archaeology. This group quickly moved toward developing an interdisciplinary approach aiming at the construction of a vulnerability model for coastal heritage, developing assessment and monitoring maps, and assessing the strategies for research and action adapted to the local and regional scales. As a result of this, a dedicated tool for the vulnerability assessment of coastal archaeological heritage was developed: the Vulnerability Evaluation Form (VEF). Further improvements on the field data collection and on the post-processing procedures have led us to develop the ALERT Mobile App. It allows the user to type and upload all the relevant information contained in the VEF, as well as additional contents, to a secure server. The application, which is ergonomic for mobile use, has been developed thanks to the jQueryMobile framework, compatible with many smartphones and language based on HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. The production of dynamic secure web pages, via a dedicated web server, has been programmed in PHP. The display of the interactive maps based on Open Street Map was made using the plugin osmLeaflet.jQuery. There is also a classic web version for administering users and adding administrative information requiring desk based research. ALERT Mobile has drastically reduced the time of data collection in the field, has improved its quality (e.g. providing a greater degree of homogeneity) and has allowed a more effective and centralised post-processing. Due to its simplicity and versatility it is intended for both researchers and volunteers participating in the project without having had any specific training; in this respect it also contributes to widen the perspectives of collaboration between researchers, heritage managers and the wider community.

Prediction of Human Epileptic Seizures based on Optimization and Phase Changes of Brain Electrical Activity (2003)

Abstract The phenomenon of epilepsy, one of the most common neurological disorders, constitutes a unique opportunity to study the dynamics of spatiotemporal state transitions in real, complex, nonlinear dynamical systems. We previously demonstrated that measures of chaos and angular frequency obtained from electroencephalographic (EEG) signals generated by critical sites in the cerebral cortex converge progressively (dynamical entrainment) from the asymptomatic interictal state to the ictal state (seizure) [L.D. Iasemidis, P. Pardalos, J.C. Sackellares and D.-S. Shiau (2001). Quadratic binary programming and dynamical system approach to determine the predictability of epileptic seizures. J. Combinatorial Optimization, 5, 9–26; L.D. Iasemidis, D.-S. Shiau, P.M. Pardalos and J.C. Sackellares (2002). Phase entrainment and predictability of epileptic seizures. In: P.M. Pardalos and J. Principe (Eds.), Biocomputing, pp. 59–84. Kluwer Academic Publishers]. This observation suggests the possibility of developing algorithms to predict seizures. One of the central points of those investigations was the application of optimization theory, specifically quadratic zero-one programming, for the selection of the cortical sites that exhibit preictal dynamical entrainment. In this study we present results from the application of this methodology to the prediction of epileptic seizures. Analysis of continuous, long-term (18–140 h), multielectrode EEG recordings from 5 patients resulted in the prediction of 88% of the impending 50 seizures, on average about 83 min prior to seizure onset, with an average false warning rate of one every 5.26 h. These results suggest that this seizure prediction algorithm performs well enough to be used in diagnostic and therapeutic applications in epileptic patients. Similar algorithms may be useful for certain spatiotemporal state transitions in other physical and biological systems.

Gangliosides in subacute sclerosing leukoencephalitis: isolation and fatty acid composition of nine fractions (1968)

Gangliosides from brain of an 8 yr old boy with subacute sclerosing leukoencephalitis have been studied in terms of pattern and structure. Thin-layer chromatography showed that both gray and white matter have a highly abnormal pattern, with elevation of the relative proportion of four gangliosides corresponding to minor species in normal brain. The total level of lipid-bound sialic acid, however, was not increased, which indicated a compensating loss of other gangliosides. Two of the proliferating species were monosialogangliosides (G(5) and G(6)) (Korey nomenclature), and two were disialo types (G(2A) and G(3A)). Studies of their carbohydrate structures are described. Nine ganglioside fractions were isolated by preparative TLC in combination with column chromatography, and the fatty acid compositions were determined. Seven contained stearate as the major component, while two (G(3A) and G(6)) had relatively large proportions of oleate and palmitate. Five of the fractions contained two fatty acids of long chain-length and unknown structure.
Accelerometer Based Sensing of Combustion in a High Speed HPCR Diesel Engine (2007)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">The capability to detect combustion in a diesel engine has the potential of being an important control feature to meet increasingly stringent emission regulations and for the development of alternative combustion strategies such as HCCI and PCCI. In this work, block mounted accelerometers are investigated as potential feedback sensors for detecting combustion characteristics in a high-speed, high pressure common rail (HPCR), 1.9L diesel engine. Accelerometers are positioned in multiple placements and orientations on the engine, and engine testing is conducted under motored, single and pilot-main injection conditions. Engine tests are then conducted at varying injection timings to observe the resulting time and frequency domain changes of both the pressure and acceleration signals. The higher frequency (3 <i>kHz</i> ≤ <i>f</i> ≤ 25 <i>kHz</i>) components of the in-cylinder pressure are found to correlate to the peak rate of in-cylinder heat release and indicated a potential application to the detection of combustion. The accelerometer and pressure signals are analyzed through the use of various functions including angle dependant fast Fourier transforms (FFT) and coherence to isolate frequency components that are well correlated between the cylinder pressure and accelerometer signals. In addition, these analysis techniques are used to compare the three accelerometer orientations and the individual accelerometer placements.</div>
Radiographic patterns of the mammary parenchyma: variation with age at examination and age at first birth. (1981)

Mammograms of 15,110 women, representing a random selection of all 45-69-year-old women living in Malmö and taking part in screening for carcinoma of the breast, were analyzed using Wolfe's criteria for variations in the parenchymal pattern with (a) age at examination and (b) age at the birth of her first child. P2 and DY, which are considered high-risk patterns, increased in frequency with advancing age at first birth, being highest in nulliparous women, but decreased with age at examination.
Combustor Turbine Interface Studies—Part 1: Endwall Effectiveness Measurements (2003)

Improved durability of gas turbine engines is an objective for both military and commercial aeroengines as well as for power generation engines. One region susceptible to degradation in an engine is the junction between the combustor and first vane given that the main gas path temperatures at this location are the highest. The platform at this junction is quite complex in that secondary flow effects, such as the leading edge vortex, are dominant. Past computational studies have shown that the total pressure profile exiting the combustor dictates the development of the secondary flows that are formed. This study examines the effect of varying the combustor liner film-cooling and junction slot flows on the adiabatic wall temperatures measured on the platform of the first vane. The experiments were performed using large-scale models of a combustor and nozzle guide vane in a wind tunnel facility. The results show that varying the coolant injection from the upstream combustor liner leads to differing total pressure profiles entering the turbine vane passage. Endwall adiabatic effectiveness measurements indicate that the coolant does not exit the upstream combustor slot uniformly, but instead accumulates along the suction side of the vane and endwall. Increasing the liner cooling continued to reduce endwall temperatures, which was not found to be true with increasing the film-cooling from the liner.
An Address Transformation Combining Block- and Word-Int erleaving (2002)

As future superscalar processors employhigher issue widths, an increasing number of load/storeinstruckionsneeds to be executed each cycIe to sustain highperformance. Multi-bank data caches attempt to addressthis issue in a cost-effective way. R multi-bank cache consistsof multiple cache banks that each support one load/storeinstructionper clock cycle. The interleaving of cache blocksover the banks is of primary importance. Two commonchoices are block-interleaving and word-interleaving. ACthough word-interleaving leads to higher PC, it is moreexpensive to implement than block-interIeaving since it rpquires the tag array of the cache to be multi-ported.By swapping the bits in the effective addresa that are usedby word-interleaving with those used by block-interleaving,it is possible to implement a word-interleaved cache with thesame cost, cycle time and power consumption of a blockinterleavedcache. Because thIs makes the L1 data cacheblocks sparse, additional costs are incurred at different levelsof the memory hierarchy.
Thermoelectric Properties of Carbon Nanotube and Nanofiber Based Ethylene‐Octene Copolymer Composites for Thermoelectric Devices (2013)

Polymer composites have been created from multiwalled carbon nanotubes or carbon nanofibers and ethylene‐octene copolymer. The composites have thermoelectric properties and exhibit thermoelectric effect, that is, the conversion of temperature differences into electricity. The thermoelectric efficiency of created composites with nanotube or nanofiber concentration of 30 wt% evaluated by a thermoelectric power at room temperature is 13.3 μ V/K and 14.2 μ V/K, respectively. The flexible thermoelectric device (thermopile) was constructed with three different composite legs to produce electric current and the output voltage was measured in the range of temperature difference from −15 to 25°C.

We also configure the game worlds using circular queue form to express the evolution of civilization by reconstruction of game world.
Repetitive Pulsed Power Based on Semiconductor Switching Devices (2007)

Power semiconductor devices (MOSFET, IGBT, SIThy, and SOS) have been studied for applications in repetitive pulsed power generation. These switching devices are expected to be used in pulsed high-voltage modulators for accelerators and power supplies for pulsed atmospheric discharges. MOSFET and static-induction thyristor (SIThy) are investigated for their performance in high-voltage modulation at repetition rate on the order of MHz, which is demanded by applications in high-energy particle accelerators. Although the peak voltage and current are not very high (usually a few kV and a few 10s of A respectively), the repetition rate poses fatal problems to the devices due to the thermal effect. The system cooling and waveform control had been the main efforts in this study. IGBT and semiconductor opening switch (SOS) are studied for applications to atmospheric gas discharge, which has become very attractive recently due to its applications in gas-treatment, laser pumping, and sterilization. The electrical circuit scheme is based on inductive energy storage with opening switch, which gives pulsed output high-voltage up to 100 kV for high-impedance load. The study has concentrated on repetition rate and energy efficiency. These developments are joint studies between universities, national laboratories, and industrial companies.
<title>Efficient signal extension for subband/wavelet decomposition of arbitrary-length signals</title> (1993)

Compression of digital signals is often performed with a two-band subband/wavelet decomposition scheme. Conventional tree-structured schemes with depth k that are based on this two-channel scheme require an input signal of which the length is a multiple of 2<SUP>k</SUP>. Normally, if the input signal does not meet this condition, samples are added to it until the requirement is met. However, these extra samples lead to an increase in data. In this paper a new method is presented that is based on an efficient way of signal extension. With this method, signals of arbitrary length N can be decomposed into subbands up to arbitrary level without an increase in data. Furthermore, a new alternative boundary extension method for filtering even length signals with symmetric odd length filters is presented. This so-called symmetric-periodic extension is closely related to the new efficient signal extension method and has the advantage of having periodicity 2N. In this paper all signal extensions are explained visually with diagrams to clearly demonstrate perfect reconstruction conditions.
