Exploiting redundancy to conserve energy in storage systems (2006)

This paper makes two main contributions. First, it introduces Diverted Accesses, a technique that leverages the redundancy in storage systems to conserve disk energy. Second, it evaluates the previous (redundancy-oblivious) energy conservation techniques, along with Diverted Accesses, as a function of the amount and type of redundancy in the system. The evaluation is based on novel analytic models of the energy consumed by the techniques. Using these energy models and previous models of reliability, availability, and performance, we can determine the best redundancy configuration for new energy-aware storage systems. To study Diverted Accesses for realistic systems and workloads, we simulate a wide-area storage system under two file-access traces. Our modeling results show that Diverted Accesses is more effective and robust than the redundancy-oblivious techniques. Our simulation results show that our technique can conserve 20-61% of the disk energy consumed by the wide-area storage system.
Gb/s fiber optic link adapter chip set (2003)

A pair of chips containing all of the required high-speed analog and digital circuitry for a fiber-optic date link with byte-wide interfaces, has been designed, fabricated, and tested at 1 Gb/s using a 1- mu m E/D (enhancement/depletion) MESFET technology. The transmitter chip takes a byte-wide parallel data stream and converts it to a serial signal suitable for driving a laser diode. The receiver chip takes an optical input and provides a retimed parallel data output synchronized with byte boundaries. It is concluded that such chips will find applications in computer data communication where packaging density and cost are important issues.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Scalable production of mechanically tunable block polymers from sugar (2014)

Development of sustainable and biodegradable materials is essential for future growth of the chemical industry. For a renewable product to be commercially competitive, it must be economically viable on an industrial scale and possess properties akin or superior to existing petroleum-derived analogs. Few biobased polymers have met this formidable challenge. To address this challenge, we describe an efficient biobased route to the branched lactone, β-methyl-δ-valerolactone (βMδVL), which can be transformed into a rubbery (i.e., low glass transition temperature) polymer. We further demonstrate that block copolymerization of βMδVL and lactide leads to a new class of high-performance polyesters with tunable mechanical properties. Key features of this work include the creation of a total biosynthetic route to produce βMδVL, an efficient semisynthetic approach that employs high-yielding chemical reactions to transform mevalonate to βMδVL, and the use of controlled polymerization techniques to produce well-defined PLA-PβMδVL-PLA triblock polymers, where PLA stands for poly(lactide). This comprehensive strategy offers an economically viable approach to sustainable plastics and elastomers for a broad range of applications.
Parameter learning for POMDP spoken dialogue models (2010)

The partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) provides a popular framework for modelling spoken dialogue. This paper describes how the expectation propagation algorithm (EP) can be used to learn the parameters of the POMDP user model. Various special probability factors applicable to this task are presented, which allow the parameters be to learned when the structure of the dialogue is complex. No annotations, neither the true dialogue state nor the true semantics of user utterances, are required. Parameters optimised using the proposed techniques are shown to improve the performance of both offline transcription experiments as well as simulated dialogue management performance.
Three-dimensional scene flow (2005)

Just as optical flow is the two-dimensional motion of points in an image, scene flow is the three-dimensional motion of points in the world. The fundamental difficulty with optical flow is that only the normal flow can be computed directly from the image measurements, without some form of smoothing or regularization. In this paper, we begin by showing that the same fundamental limitation applies to scene flow; however, many cameras are used to image the scene. There are then two choices when computing scene flow: 1) perform the regularization in the images or 2) perform the regularization on the surface of the object in the scene. In this paper, we choose to compute scene flow using regularization in the images. We describe three algorithms, the first two for computing scene flow from optical flows and the third for constraining scene tructure from the inconsistencies in multiple optical flows.
QSPR for HLB Values of Nonionic Surfactants Using Two Simple Descriptors (2009)

By using the quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) method, the relationship between the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value and the chemical structure of surfactants were studied for nonionic surfactants of the ethoxylated alcohols and ethoxylated alkylphenols, for which the number of EO groups is less than 20. The obtained best QSPR model contains only two simple descriptors. One is zero order of Kier-Hall index (KH0); the other is the number of oxygen atoms in the hydrophilic group (N o). The correlation coefficient (R 2) is as high as 0.984. The resulted QSPR model shows a significantly higher accuracy with respect to the effective chain length method.
Cross-Axis Synchronous Flow-Through Coil Planet Centrifuge Free of Rotary Seals for Preparative Countercurrent Chromatography. Part II. Studies on Phase Distribution and Partition Efficiency in Coaxial Coils (1987)

Abstract Potential capability of the apparatus in performing countercurrent chroma-tography has been examined with three different types of coiled columns, all coaxially mounted around the holder. In single-layer coils, typical solvent systems display characteristic hydrodynamic distribution which ensures a stable retention of the stationary phase against heavy sample loading in preparative separations. Direct observation of the hydrodynamic motion in the rotating spiral column revealed vigorous mixing of the two solvent phases throughout the area which promises a high partition efficiency of the present method. Gram-quantity preparative separations were performed in the multilayer coil with two different sets of test samples: Isocratic elution of dinitrophenyl amino acids yielded high partition efficiency of 1600 theoretical plates while the versatility of the method was demonstrated on gradient elution of dipeptides including two pairs of sequential isomers.
Characteristics of ZnO Thin Films by Means of Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition (2006)

Zinc oxide films were grown in a temperature range of by plasma-enhanced ALD for the application of flexible transparent thin-film transistor (TFT). We have investigated the effect of precursor pulsing time, temperature, and radio frequency power on the film growth. The X-ray diffraction patterns of polycrystalline ZnO films showed rather preferred (002) orientation even at a low temperature of . We could obtain highly resistant ZnO film, being suitable for the active layer of TFT, at low temperature with the reactive oxygen plasma to result in decreased carrier density.
Architectures for run-time verification of code integrity (2005)

With the exponential growth of the number of interconnected computing platforms, computer security becomes a critical issue. As software continues to grow in size and complexity, so does the number of security vulnerabilities: According to the US-CERT Coordination Center, the number of vulnerabilities reported has grown from 171 in 1995 to 4,129 in 2002. One of the major security problems is the execution of unauthorized and potentially malicious code. This problem can be addressed at different levels, from more secure software and operating systems, down to solutions based on hardware support. The majority of the existing techniques tackle the problem of security flaws at the software level, lacking generality, often inducing prohibitive overhead in performance and cost, or generating a significant number of false alarms. On the other hand, a further increase in the number of transistors on a single chip will enable integrated hardware support for functions that were so far restricted to the software domain. Hardware-supported defense techniques have the potential to be more general and more efficient than solely software solutions. This dissertation proposes new architectural extensions to ensure trusted program execution in both high-end and embedded computing platforms. The eight proposed techniques have low performance overhead, low hardware complexity, and minimal or no compiler support.
FATAUVA-Net: An Integrated Deep Learning Framework for Facial Attribute Recognition, Action Unit Detection, and Valence-Arousal Estimation (2017)

Facial expression recognition has been investigated for many years, and there are two popular models: Action Units (AUs) and the Valence-Arousal space (V-A space) that have been widely used. However, most of the databases for estimating V-A intensity are captured in laboratory settings, and the benchmarks "in-the-wild" do not exist. Thus, the First Affect-In-The-Wild Challenge released a database for V-A estimation while the videos were captured in wild condition. In this paper, we propose an integrated deep learning framework for facial attribute recognition, AU detection, and V-A estimation. The key idea is to apply AUs to estimate the V-A intensity since both AUs and V-A space could be utilized to recognize some emotion categories. Besides, the AU detector is trained based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) for facial attribute recognition. In experiments, we will show the results of the above three tasks to verify the performances of our proposed network framework.
Studies on the Biosynthesis of Flavin Nucleotides from 2-<sup>14</sup>C-Riboflavin by Rat Liver and Kidney (1973)

2- 14 C-Riboflavin was injected subcutaneously into young adult rats to study the biosynthesis of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin–adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in the liver and kidneys. Animals were sacrificed at different time intervals following the administration of labelled riboflavin (RF), and radioactive flavins were determined in their tissues by a newly devised method. Both tissues accumulated radioactive riboflavin rapidly and peak levels were obtained at 90 min after the injection, when over 80% of the total radioactivity of the liver was present in FAD. At this time the liver contained 17% of the injected dose of 2- 14 C-RF. The kidneys contained relatively high quantities of free RF due to the concentration and urinary excretion of the vitamin.Analysis of subcellular fractions of the liver of animals injected with 2- 14 C-RF revealed that most of the radioactivity was present in mitochondria and nuclei. The flavin nucleotides of rat liver cytosol became progressively associated with macromolecules in vivo. However, there was no significant binding of free RF by macromolecules in blood plasma or liver cytosol.Kinetic studies and incubations with liver slices indicated that RF freely diffuses into the liver cells, is rapidly converted into FAD, and becomes attached to apoenzymes. The tissue uptake of RF and FMN formation is considerably influenced by the concentration of RF present in the system, both in vivo and in vitro.
Severe carbon tetrachloride poisoning with recovery followed by fatal homologous serum hepatitis. (1953)

Abstract A case of accidental severe carbon tetrachloride poisoning is described in which recovery appears to have been made possible by means of exchange blood transfusions at a critical stage of uremia. After complete recovery the patient died about four months later from a fulminant homologous serum hepatitis. Limited postmortem examination showed hemorrhagic necrosis of the pancreas and massive necrosis of the liver. A brief review is presented of the use of exchange transfusions and extrarenal excretion methods (peritoneal and intestinal lavage and the artificial kidney) in the management of lower nephron nephrosis. Homologous serum hepatitis may represent a serious complication of exchange blood transfusions. Data are presented which indicate that carbon tetrachloride poisoning in industry and among incidental and household users continues to be a significant clinical and public health problem. In five states two hundred seventeen cases of carbon tetrachloride poisoning were recorded for the three-year period 1949 to 1951 with a 10 per cent mortality. The authors are of the opinion that the public should be more fully informed of the potential serious toxic effects of carbon tetrachloride. Small as well as large quantities of this solvent should be labeled with the prominent display of the word POISONOUS in addition to the usual skull and crossbones insignia.

seq2graph: Discovering Dynamic Dependencies from Multivariate Time Series with Multi-level Attention (2018)

Discovering temporal lagged and inter-dependencies in multivariate time series data is an important task. However, in many real-world applications, such as commercial cloud management, manufacturing predictive maintenance, and portfolios performance analysis, such dependencies can be non-linear and time-variant, which makes it more challenging to extract such dependencies through traditional methods such as Granger causality or clustering. In this work, we present a novel deep learning model that uses multiple layers of customized gated recurrent units (GRUs) for discovering both time lagged behaviors as well as inter-timeseries dependencies in the form of directed weighted graphs. We introduce a key component of Dual-purpose recurrent neural network that decodes information in the temporal domain to discover lagged dependencies within each time series, and encodes them into a set of vectors which, collected from all component time series, form the informative inputs to discover inter-dependencies. Though the discovery of two types of dependencies are separated at different hierarchical levels, they are tightly connected and jointly trained in an end-to-end manner. With this joint training, learning of one type of dependency immediately impacts the learning of the other one, leading to overall accurate dependencies discovery. We empirically test our model on synthetic time series data in which the exact form of (non-linear) dependencies is known. We also evaluate its performance on two real-world applications, (i) performance monitoring data from a commercial cloud provider, which exhibit highly dynamic, non-linear, and volatile behavior and, (ii) sensor data from a manufacturing plant. We further show how our approach is able to capture these dependency behaviors via intuitive and interpretable dependency graphs and use them to generate highly accurate forecasts.
Tryptophan-Derived Metabolites Are Required for Antifungal Defense in the Arabidopsis<i>mlo2</i>Mutant (2009)

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genes MILDEW RESISTANCE LOCUS O2 (MLO2), MLO6, and MLO12 exhibit unequal genetic redundancy with respect to the modulation of defense responses against powdery mildew fungi and the control of developmental phenotypes such as premature leaf decay. We show that early chlorosis and necrosis of rosette leaves in mlo2 mlo6 mlo12 mutants reflects an authentic but untimely leaf senescence program. Comparative transcriptional profiling revealed that transcripts of several genes encoding tryptophan biosynthetic and metabolic enzymes hyperaccumulate during vegetative development in the mlo2 mlo6 mlo12 mutant. Elevated expression levels of these genes correlate with altered steady-state levels of several indolic metabolites, including the phytoalexin camalexin and indolic glucosinolates, during development in the mlo2 single mutant and the mlo2 mlo6 mlo12 triple mutant. Results of genetic epistasis analysis suggest a decisive role for indolic metabolites in mlo2-conditioned antifungal defense against both biotrophic powdery mildews and a camalexin-sensitive strain of the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea. The wound- and pathogen-responsive callose synthase POWDERY MILDEW RESISTANCE4/GLUCAN SYNTHASE-LIKE5 was found to be responsible for the spontaneous callose deposits in mlo2 mutant plants but dispensable for mlo2-conditioned penetration resistance. Our data strengthen the notion that powdery mildew resistance of mlo2 genotypes is based on the same defense execution machinery as innate antifungal immune responses that restrict the invasion of nonadapted fungal pathogens.
Divergence based feature selection for multimodal class densities (1996)

A new feature selection procedure based on the Kullback J-divergence between two class conditional density functions approximated by a finite mixture of parameterized densities of a special type is presented. This procedure is suitable especially for multimodal data. Apart from finding a feature subset of any cardinality without involving any search procedure, it also simultaneously yields a pseudo-Bayes decision rule. Its performance is tested on real data.

Cross-Polarization Modulation in Polarization-Division Multiplex Transmission (2010)

We show theoretically and with the aid of computer simulations that the nonlinear depolarization induced by cross-polarization modulation leads to crosstalk between the polarization-division multiplex (PolDM) subchannels during their demultiplexing. This additive crosstalk can be approximated as additive Gaussian noise, and we derive expressions to estimate its variance. It can lead to significant penalties of up to several decibels for PolDM transmission and must be properly accounted for. We also show why time-interleaving both subchannels can significantly reduce these penalties.
TFTP Option Negotiation Analysis (1995)

The TFTP option negotiation mechanism, proposed in [1], is a backward-compatible extension to the TFTP protocol, defined in [2]. It allows file transfer options to be negotiated prior to the transfer using a mechanism which is consistent with TFTP's Request Packet format. The mechanism is kept simple by enforcing a request- respond-acknowledge sequence, similar to the lock-step approach taken by TFTP itself.

Progressive disease after high-dose therapy and autologous transplantation for lymphoid malignancy: clinical course and patient follow-up (1992)

Abstract Of 364 patients with lymphoid malignancy who underwent high-dose therapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) or peripheral stem cell transplantation (PSCT), 169 patients have had progressive disease after the procedure. The median survival from the time of relapse for patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD) who progressed after the transplant was 10.5 months. This compares with a median survival of 3 months for relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients (P = .0036). After failing transplantation, 56 patients were treated with further chemotherapy, 35 with involved field irradiation therapy, and 18 patients were treated with combination chemotherapy and irradiation. Seven patients received biologic therapy and seven patients underwent a second bone marrow transplant. The remainder of the patients were believed to be too ill for further therapy or chose not to receive further treatment for their recurrent lymphoid malignancy. Sixty of the 169 patients with progressive disease after the transplant are still alive; however, only 18 patients are alive off therapy without evidence of active disease after their relapse. Ten of the 18 patients are still less than 12 months past their posttransplant salvage therapy and are at high-risk for relapse. Five patients are progression free at 15 to 36 months after their posttransplant relapse. Only three patients (two NHL and one HD) treated with other modalities after autologous transplant failure are alive without evidence of disease and have been observed at least 4 years postrelapse. Although a few patients will have a durable response to subsequent therapy, the majority of patients who have progressive disease after an autologous transplant for lymphoid malignancy will succumb to recurrent disease within a short period of time.
Analysis of neutralizing epitopes on foot-and-mouth disease virus (1988)

For the investigation of the antigenic determinant structure of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against complete virus were characterized by Western blot (immunoblot), enzyme immunoassay, and competition experiments with a synthetic peptide, isolated coat protein VP1, and viral particles as antigens. Two of the four MAbs reacted with each of these antigens, while the other two MAbs recognized only complete viral particles and reacted only very poorly with the peptide. The four MAbs showed different neutralization patterns with a panel of 11 different FMDV strains. cDNA-derived VP1 protein sequences of the different strains were compared to find correlations between the primary structure of the protein and the ability of virus to be neutralized. Based on this analysis, it appears that the first two MAbs recognized overlapping sequential epitopes in the known antigenic site represented by the peptide, whereas the two other MAbs recognized conformational epitopes. These conclusions were supported and extended by structural analyses of FMDV mutants resistant to neutralization by an MAb specific for a conformational epitope. These results demonstrate that no amino acid exchanges had occurred in the primary antigenic site of VP1 but instead in the other coat proteins VP2 and VP3, which by themselves do not induce neutralizing antibodies.
