Firewall placement in a large network topology (2002)

Network security is an integral component of a multi-user distributed information environment. Firewall (FW) technology is a popular approach to build secure networks, and a plethora of FWs have been designed. Our research focuses on the placement of FWs (i.e. an operations research approach) in a large, complex network system, or a system of systems. A key contribution of this research is to propose the concept of a FW cascade, i.e. a chain of FWs, which could be placed in the path between a potential attack point and a network node with sensitive data. Among other benefits, the FW cascade offers two key benefits: (1) increased comprehensiveness (viz. address, port, service, user ID and direction) of security protection; and (2) most importantly, enhancing the degree of confidence that the network security engineer could expect from the underlying set of FWs and the overall end-to-end security protection that is achieved. This results in a novel capability, where a network security engineer can provide completeness and high confidence in the security attributes across the network. We propose a decomposition of the security characters of a FW and a suite of FW placement heuristics which allows us to place the FWs across the network while optimizing cost and maximizing security protection. Minimization of delay is another optimization goal. Performance is depicted using simulation.

An automated optical on-wafer probing system for ultra-high-speed ICs (1992)

This paper introduces an automated optical on-wafer probing system based on an external electro-optic sampling @OS) for diagnosing ultra-high-speed ICs at internal nodes. Automatic EO probe tip positioning, module-based system architecture, and a workstationdriven environment make the system easy to use, and improve measurement accuracy and reproducibility. Voltage sensitivity on an order of 1 mV/d(Hz) at frequencies up to 70 GHz is routinely obtained for ICs fabricated on any substrate. The system has been successfully applied to internal node probing of on-wafer ICs operating at over 10 Gbit/s.
LQG/LTR Controller Design for a Gas Engine (2006)

The dynamics of a gas engine vary strongly over its power range with controlled engine speed. The major nonlinearities result from the turbo charger driven by exhaust gas. The recirculation valve adjusts the power of the turbo charger, by leading part of the compressed mixture back to the inlet. The position of the throttle valve affects the mass flow into the engine. Both actuators are used to control the engine speed. In order to optimize the switching between the actuators, LQG control is applied. For linear state feedback control suitable states have to be determined and unmeasured states must be estimated in an acceptable way. This paper shows that LQG control is able to enhance the performance of the engine speed control by using both actuators simultaneously.
Countercurrent Distribution of Two Distinct SNARE Complexes Mediating Transport within the Golgi Stack (2004)

Genetic and biochemical evidence has established that a SNARE complex consisting of syntaxin 5 (Sed5)-mYkt6 (Ykt6)-GOS28 (Gos1)-GS15 (Sft1) is required for transport of proteins across the Golgi stack in animals (yeast). We have utilized quantitative immunogold labeling to establish the cis-trans distribution of the v-SNARE GS15 and the t-SNARE subunits GOS28 and syntaxin 5. Whereas the distribution of the t-SNARE is nearly even across the Golgi stack from the cis to the trans side, the v-SNARE GS15 is present in a gradient of increasing concentration toward the trans face of the stack. This contrasts with a second distinct SNARE complex, also required for intra-Golgi transport, consisting of syntaxin 5 (Sed5)-membrin (Bos1)-ERS24 (Sec22)-rBet1 (Bet1), whose v-(rBet1) and t-SNARE subunits (membrin and ERS24), progressively decrease in concentration toward the trans face. Transport within the stack therefore appears to utilize countercurrent gradients of two Golgi SNAREpins and may involve a mechanism akin to homotypic fusion.
Pyrimethamine and Proguanil Resistance-Conferring Mutations in Plasmodium falciparum Dihydrofolate Reductase: Polymerase Chain Reaction Methods for Surveillance in Africa (1995)

As chloroquine resistance spreads across Africa, the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors pyrimethamine and proguanil are being used as alternative first-line drugs for the treatment and prevention of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Resistance to these drugs is conferred by point mutations in parasite DHFR. These point mutations can be detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, but better methods for sample collection, DNA extraction, and a diagnostic PCR are needed to make these assays useful in malaria-endemic areas. Here we report methods for collecting fingerstick blood onto filter paper strips that are air-dried, then stored and transported at room temperature. Cell lysis and DNA extraction are accomplished by boiling in Chelex-100. We also report a nested PCR technique that has improved sensitivity and specificity. These procedures readily detect mixed infections of parasites with both sensitive and resistant genotypes (confirmed by direct sequencing) and are reliable at parasite densities less than 250/mm3 in field surveys.
A New Droop Control Method for the Autonomous Operation of Distributed Energy Resource Interface Converters (2012)

Microgrid is widely accepted as an effective mean of integrating various distributed energy resources (DERs) through their interface converters to provide electric power of high quality and reliability. These distributed resources interface converters can operate in an autonomous fashion without any communication for enhanced system reliability and reduced complexity. Conventionally, the real power-frequency droop control and the reactive power-voltage magnitude droop are adopted as the decentralized control strategies in these DERs interface converters for the autonomous power sharing operations. However, the reactive power sharing of <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX"> $Q\hbox{--}V$</tex></formula> droop control often deteriorates due to its dependence on the line impedances. In this paper, a <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$Q\hbox{--}\dot{V}$</tex></formula> droop control method with <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$\dot{V}$</tex></formula> restoration mechanism is proposed to improve reactive power sharing. Its operation principle and control method are explained and analyzed. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
The association of aqueous phenolic resin with polyethylene oxide and poly(acrylamide‐co‐ethylene glycol) (1995)

Abstract Comb copolymers formed from acrylamide and poly(ethylene‐glycol) methacrylate macro‐monomer (PAM‐co‐PEG) were compared to poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with respect to hydrogen bond complex formation with water‐borne phenolic resins. The behaviors of the two types of high molecular weight polyethers were similar. Complex formation gave a transient increase in viscosity followed by precipitation. Copolymers with pendant PEG chain lengths ≥ 9 formed complexes with phenolic resin whereas PEG homopolymer with a molecular weight of 2000 did not form a complex. For both copolymer and high molecular weight PEO, the tendency of the complex to precipitate increased when the pH was decreased from 7 to 4. Acridine orange, a cationic dye, bound to the phenolic resin and, after the addition of PEO, yielded visible complex gels with diameters about 20 μm. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
The Choice between Monetary Policy Rules during Deposit Interest Rate Liberalization: Based on the Simulation and Analysis of DSGE (2013)

By building, calibrating and simulating a DSGE model including price stickiness and financial accelerator, with deposit interest rate liberalization in China, we analyze the effectiveness of different monetary policies from the three aspects of the macroeconomic fluctuations, the different effects of monetary policy shocks and the welfare loss function. The results show that, in the process of deposit interest rate liberalization, with deposit interest rate rising, the priced monetary policy instruments play more important part in decelerating economic fluctuations; the quantitative monetary policy instruments have an advantage in promoting the economic growth; for the welfare losses of representative families, when the interest rate level is below a certain value, the welfare loss based on the priced monetary policy is smaller.
SARS-CoV-2 Infectivity and Severity of COVID-19 According to SARS-CoV-2 Variants: Current Evidence (2021)

Crystallography of Co/Pt Multilayers and Nanostructures (2026)

Atomically engineered nanostructures and multilayers of Co/Pt exhibit strong perpendicular anisotropy. This unique property, that determines their potential as a magneto-optic recording medium, is dependent on a variety of microstructural parameters that include the overall crystallography, thickness of the layers, orientation, defect formation, interface reactions, etc. A series of Co/Pt multilayer samples with different thickness of the Co layer were studied by electron diffraction. It has been determined that the Co layers persist in the fcc structure up to 50 Å thickness. As the thickness is varied from 3 to 50 Å in the multilayers, the Co film gradually relaxes to its bulk lattice parameter. (Ill) twinning and lattice strain at the interfaces between Pt and Co layers are also observed. The symmetry-forbidden reflections observed at https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> 1 3 {224} positions in [111] zone diffraction patterns of the multilayer are due to (111) twinning and compositional modulations along the multilayer growth direction.
3D URBAN GEOVISUALIZATION: IN SITU AUGMENTED AND MIXED REALITY EXPERIMENTS (2018)

Abstract. In this paper, we assume that augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) are relevant contexts for 3D urban geovisualization, especially in order to support the design of the urban spaces. We propose to design an in situ MR application, that could be helpful for urban designers, providing tools to interactively remove or replace buildings in situ. This use case requires advances regarding existing geovisualization methods. We highlight the need to adapt and extend existing 3D geovisualization pipelines, in order to adjust the specific requirements for AR/MR applications, in particular for data rendering and interaction. In order to reach this goal, we focus on and implement four elementary in situ and ex situ AR/MR experiments: each type of these AR/MR experiments helps to consider and specify a specific subproblem, i.e. scale modification, pose estimation, matching between scene and urban project realism, and the mix of real and virtual elements through portals, while proposing occlusion handling, rendering and interaction techniques to solve them.

Respiratory syncytial virus infections on an adult medical ward (1991)

Eleven cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection occurred in acutely ill hospitalized adults over a 7-week period. Nosocomial illness was suspected in two patients. Because RSV can cause serious infections in immunocompromised adults with the potential for nosocomial spread, the following recommendations are indicated: (1) during the winter months, early recognition and diagnosis of RSV infections both in hospital staff and in patients should be encouraged; (2) infected hospital personnel should avoid patient contact when possible; (3) during outbreaks, careful attention must be paid to hand washing and gloving; and (4) a high level of vigilance for RSV infection should be maintained on units with immunocompromised patients. Increased awareness of the potential risks of RSV infection is needed on adult medical units. (<i>Arch Intern Med</i>. 1991;151:706-708)

The Ins2<sup>Akita</sup>Mouse as a Model of Early Retinal Complications in Diabetes (2005)

The retinas of heterozygous male Ins2(Akita) mice exhibit vascular, neural, and glial abnormalities generally consistent with clinical observations and other animal models of diabetes. In light of the relatively early, spontaneous onset of the disease and the popularity of the C57BL/6J inbred strain as a background for the generation and study of other genetic alterations, combining the Ins2(Akita) mutation with other engineered mutations will be of great use for studying the molecular basis of retinal complications of diabetes.
Data‐Driven Reconstruction of Human Locomotion Using a Single Smartphone (2014)

Abstract Generating a visually appealing human motion sequence using low‐dimensional control signals is a major line of study in the motion research area in computer graphics. We propose a novel approach that allows us to reconstruct full body human locomotion using a single inertial sensing device, a smartphone. Smartphones are among the most widely used devices and incorporate inertial sensors such as an accelerometer and a gyroscope. To find a mapping between a full body pose and smartphone sensor data, we perform low dimensional embedding of full body motion capture data, based on a Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model. Our system ensures temporal coherence between the reconstructed poses by using a state decomposition model for automatic phase segmentation. Finally, application of the proposed nonlinear regression algorithm finds a proper mapping between the latent space and the sensor data. Our framework effectively reconstructs plausible 3D locomotion sequences. We compare the generated animation to ground truth data obtained using a commercial motion capture system.
Shape Selectivity of C<sub>30</sub> Phases for RP-HPLC Separation of Tocopherol Isomers and Correlation with MAS NMR Data from Suspended Stationary Phases (1998)

Vitamin E (tocopherol) acts in various organisms as the main free radical scavenger. This capacity, which is enhanced by the synergetic effect of vitamin C and carotenes, points to a possible application as anti-tumor agent in chemotherapy. There are several isomeric forms, namely alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol, having different antioxidative abilities, with alpha-tocopherol being the most biologically active. Using methanol as eluent and a C30 stationary phase, we achieved complete separation of alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol and alpha-tocopherol acetate by RP-HPLC within 14 min. Detection was performed by UV and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The advantage of NMR is the possibility of structural identification of chromatographic peaks. Also, coeluting peaks are easily recognized. The enhanced shape recognition of the C30 phase has been attributed to the high order of the alkyl chains of the stationary phase. This has, so far, been proven by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. We now introduce the technique of 13C MAS NMR spectroscopy of suspended stationary phases. The resulting NMR spectra reveal that, in the presence of weak eluents, like methanol, the overall high order of the C30 chains is slightly altered, whereas in stronger eluents, like MTBE, the alkyl chains possess a higher mobility.

The rice acyl‐CoA‐binding protein gene family: phylogeny, expression and functional analysis (2010)

• Acyl-CoA-binding proteins (ACBPs) show conservation in an acyl-CoA-binding domain (ACB domain) which binds acyl-CoA esters. Previous studies on plant ACBPs focused on eudicots, Arabidopsis and Brassica. Here, we report on the phylogeny and characterization of the ACBP family from the monocot Oryza sativa (rice). • Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using 16 plant genomes. Expression profiles of rice ACBPs under normal growth, as well as biotic and abiotic stress conditions, were examined by quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reactions. In vitro acyl-CoA-binding assays were conducted using recombinant (His)6-tagged ACBPs. • The ACBP family diversified as land plants evolved. Classes I and IV show lineage-specific gene expansion. Classes II and III are closely related phylogenetically. As in the eudicot Arabidopsis, six genes (designated OsACBP1 to OsACBP6) encode rice ACBPs, but their distribution into various classes differed from Arabidopsis. Rice ACBP mRNAs showed ubiquitous expression and OsACBP4, OsACBP5 and OsACBP6 were stress-responsive. All recombinant rice ACBPs bind [14C]linolenoyl-CoA besides having specific substrates. • Phylogeny, gene expression and biochemical analyses suggest that paralogues within and across classes are not redundant proteins. In addition to performing conserved basal functions, multidomain rice ACBPs appear to be associated with stress responses.

New results in subband/wavelet image coding (2002)

A novel technique for redundancy removal of quantized coefficents of a wavelet transform is discussed. This technique rests on the coding of the address of nonzero coefficients using blocks in both lossy and lossless approach. Simulations show that the proposed technique performs better than classical methods, while maintaining an efficient implementation complexity.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Research on a faster algorithm for pattern matching (2000)

Based on deep analysis of Boyer-Moore algorithm and Quick Search algorithm, we propose a faster algorithm for single pattern matching by utilizing the continuous skip over the text, this idea enables its high performance because of the large shift on the text, its best time complexity is O(n/(m+1)), which is an inspiring research result. We also discuss the average time complexity of this suggested algorithm, which demonstrates and proves its high efficiency. Our experimental result shows that the algorithm is superior to other algorithms for pattern matching, such as Boyer-Moore algorithm, Quick Search algorithm, Shift Or algorithm, Reverse Factor algorithm, Reverse Colussi algorithm, Improved Apostolico-Giancarlo algorithm and so on. Especially, when the pattern is smaller, our algorithm is more efficient than other algorithms, which is very practical in natural language text retrieval.
The fine structure of Plasmodium falciparum and its host erythrocytes in natural malarial infections in man. (1966)

Electron micrographs of ultra-thin sections of erythrocytes taken from two Liberian children ill with Plasmodium falciparum malaria show that the appliqué forms of this parasite are clearly within the host cell. The general fine structure of the parasites resembles that of other mammalian malaria parasites, as does the mode of ingestion of host cell material by pinocytosis. Granules of haemozoin were usually found in small vesicles pinched off from the large food vacuole. Scattered through the cytoplasm of infected red cells were narrow clear clefts bounded on each side by two unit membranes. These probably represent the Maurer's clefts seen in light microscopy. The surface of infected erythrocytes was notably distorted, a phenomenon which may have a bearing on the stickiness of the infected red cells in human falciparum malaria and the segregation of these cells in the capillaries. Many uninfected erythrocytes showed a multiple alveolar, blister-like abnormality of a portion of the cell membrane; this was not seen in otherwise comparable blood from a case of P. ovale infection.
Synthesis of 2-Aryl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-<i>a</i>]pyrimidines (1988)

Abstract 2-(Aroylamino)pyrimidines (4) have been converted into 1-(2-pyrimidyl)-5-aryl-1H-tetrazoles (6) by treatment with PCl5 followed by azidolysis in aqueous acetone solution. Pyrolysis of 6 in decalin gave 2-aryl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines (8). A reasonable pathway for the formation of 8 from 6 is suggested. Structures of all the compounds have been established by elemental analysis and spectral data.
