Modeling organizations as a social network of distributed knowledge-based systems (2002)

An architecture is described that allows multiple, heterogeneous knowledge-base systems to cooperate in a partially structured social network. The design is conceived from social epistemological theory which studies the social influence; on beliefs and evaluates social practices based on a truth-linked criterion. A planning theory of intention is reviewed as a mechanism for coordinating actions between agents. A design technique is proposed whereby information technology is applied to augment actual human processes that are deficient relative to the normative theory. A distributed knowledge-base management system architecture is described that models the practices and group methods of a social community. The individual knowledge-base systems model the processes and methods used by individual agents. Research issues are outlined for extending this architecture.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Characteristics of Inductively Coupled Plasma using Internal Double Comb-type Antenna for Flat Panel Display Processing (2007)

This study examined the electrical and plasma properties of an internal linear inductive antenna for flat panel display processing. An internal linear antenna, which is referred to as a "double comb-type antenna", with a substrate area of 2,300×2,000 mm2 was used as a large-area inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source. This extremely large area ICP source showed a transition from E-mode to H-mode near 3 kW. At 9 kW, a power transfer efficiency of approximately 81% was obtained. The plasma uniformity measured by a Langmuir probe was approximately 14% over the substrate area at 15 mTorr Ar and 5 kW of RF power.
Proper tail recursion and space efficiency (1998)

The IEEE/ANSI standard for Scheme requires implementations to be properly tail recursive. This ensures that portable code can rely upon the space efficiency of continuation-passing style and other idioms. On its face, proper tail recursion concerns the efficiency of procedure calls that occur within a tail context. When examined closely, proper tail recursion also depends upon the fact that garbage collection can be asymptotically more space-efficient than Algol-like stack allocation.
Rapid isolation of DNA from fossil and museum specimens suitable for PCR. (1993)

We describe a simple process for extraction of DNA from amber-entombed fossils and museum specimens that is suitable for enzymatic amplification by PCR. Five to ten milligrams of the macerated specimen were mixed in 300 microliters of silica matrix and shaken at 55 degrees C for 1 h in a sterile, screw-capped microcentrifuge tube. After incubation, the silica matrix was transferred to the upper chamber of a SpinFilter, centrifuged at maximum speed for 1 min and then washed twice with 500 microliters of wash solution and the DNA eluted with 50 microliters of TE buffer. The eluate was used as template for PCR, and the results were evaluated by electrophoresis and nucleotide sequence analysis. All samples tested yielded positive results, which were subsequently verified by sequence analysis. It appears, at least in our hands, that the procedure described here is a rapid and efficient way of obtaining small amounts of DNA for PCR in museum and fossilized specimens.
Palladium‐Catalyzed Ring‐Forming Aminoalkenylation of Alkenes with Aldehydes Initiated by Intramolecular Aminopalladation (2017)

A palladium-catalyzed aminopalladation reaction followed by nucleophilic addition with aldehydes and dehydration is described. This direct and operationally simple procedure provides a rapid and reliable approach to a wide range of functionalized tetrahydroisoquinolines with high selectivity. Mechanistic studies disclosed that the nucleophilic addition, performed via a highly ordered transition-state, is the turnover-limiting step in which the inherent β-hydride elimination of the key Csp<sup>3</sup> -Pd species was controlled by the confined conformation and the nucleophilicity of the Csp<sup>3</sup> -Pd bond was enhanced by the strong electron-donating effect of the nitrogen atom.
Screening for the Lynch Syndrome (Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer) (2005)

Routine molecular screening of patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma for the Lynch syndrome identified mutations in patients and their family members that otherwise would not have been detected. These data suggest that the effectiveness of screening with immunohistochemical analysis of the mismatch-repair proteins would be similar to that of the more complex strategy of genotyping for microsatellite instability.

General theory for decoy-state quantum key distribution with an arbitrary number of intensities (2007)

We develop a general theory for quantum key distribution (QKD) in both the forward error correction and the reverse error correction cases when the QKD system is equipped with phase-randomized coherent light with arbitrary number of decoy intensities. For this purpose, generalizing Wang's expansion, we derive a convex expansion of the phase-randomized coherent state. We also numerically check that the asymptotic key generation rates are almost saturated when the number of decoy intensities is three.
Morphology and Stability of Electrochemically Generated Copper Layers: The Effect of Electron Transfer and Nucleation Kinetics (1996)

This paper reports on a method for in‐situ observation of the morphology and stability of electrochemically generated metal layers. This information is obtained by comparing topographical and kinetic data. The method is based on coulometric, microgravimetric and optical measurement performed in situ on vertically growing electrodes. Measurements are obtained simultaneously from the same surface area.

Nanofibres in Drug Delivery (2018)

In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in the production of nanoscale fibres for drug delivery and tissue engineering. Nanofibres in Drug Delivery aims to outline to new researchers in the field the utility of nanofibres in drug delivery, and to explain to them how to prepare fibres in the laboratory.\n\nThe book begins with a brief discussion of the main concepts in pharmaceutical science. The authors then introduce the key techniques that can be used for fibre production and explain briefly the theory behind them. They discuss the experimental implementation of fibre production, starting with the simplest possible set-up and then moving on to consider more complex arrangements. As they do so, they offer advice from their own experience of fibre production, and use examples from current literature to show how each particular type of fibre can be applied to drug delivery. They also consider how fibre production could be moved beyond the research laboratory into industry, discussing regulatory and scale-up aspects.

Structure and Composition Analysis of High-T<sub>c</sub> Superconducting Bi-Ca-Sr-Cu-O Oxide by High-Resolution Analytical Electron Microscopy (1988)

The chemical composition and the crystal structure of the Bi-Ca-Sr-Cu-O oxide with a high- T c of about 75 K have been studied by the combined techniques of crystal structure imaging and spectroscopic microanalysis using a 400 kV high-resolution analytical electron microscope. The crystal is orthorhombic with lattice parameters a =0.54 nm, b =2.70 nm and c =3.06 nm. The chemical composition is assigned as Bi 2 Ca x Sr z Cu 2 O y , where x and z are approximately 1.0 and 1.5, respectively. The structure image reveals that the structure is comprised of a bismuth oxide layer interleaved with an oxygen deficient perovskite-like layer. It is suggested that a nearly commensurate superstructure based on the perovskite-type structure is formed.
Different sensitivity to organophosphates of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase from three-spined stickleback (<i>Gasterosteus aculeatus</i>): Application in biomonitoring (2000)

Abstract Different cholinesterases from brain and body muscle of the fish three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) were investigated concerning their potential use in the biomonitoring of organophosphate insecticides (OPs). Stickleback brain contained acetylcholinesterase (AChE) but no butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Body muscle contained both AChE and BChE. In vitro, body muscle BChE was three orders of magnitude more sensitive than brain or body muscle AChE to the OPs paraoxon and dichlorvos. In 1998, cholinesterase activities were recorded in stickleback from eight streams differing in pesticide contamination. Automated on-site samplers that selectively collect water during runoff events were used to obtain water samples for pesticide analysis. The OP parathion was found in stream water sampled during runoff events in five cases. The variation of brain and body muscle AChE activity between streams was not related to water contamination by pesticides. Body muscle BChE was strongly decreased (&gt;85%) in stickleback collected at all streams with previous parathion contamination events. A significant decrease in BChE (78%) occurred also, however, at one stream where other pesticides but no OPs were found. Because stickleback AChE and BChE differed strongly in their in vitro sensitivity and their response in the field, these enzymes should be considered separately in studies with fish.
[Life cycle and cytochemical study of the endogenous developmental stages of Eimeria akeriana (coccidiida, Eimeriidae) from the Asia Minor gerbil]. (1982)

Three generations of schisonts in the life cycle of Eimeria akeriana, the intestinal parasite of Meriones blackleri, were determined. Gametogony begins in 94 hours, the first oocysts discharge in 5.5--6 days and lasts 14.5 to 15 days after the oocyst administration. A cytochemical study of the distribution of the nucleic acids, proteins and amylopectin at the stages of endogenous development of E. akeriana has revealed a considerable similarity among the parasites of Eimeria though each type is characterized by some cytochemical peculiarities.
A field study of refactoring challenges and benefits (2012)

It is widely believed that refactoring improves software quality and developer productivity. However, few empirical studies quantitatively assess refactoring benefits or investigate developers' perception towards these benefits. This paper presents a field study of refactoring benefits and challenges at Microsoft through three complementary study methods: a survey, semi-structured interviews with professional software engineers, and quantitative analysis of version history data. Our survey finds that the refactoring definition in practice is not confined to a rigorous definition of semantics-preserving code transformations and that developers perceive that refactoring involves substantial cost and risks. We also report on interviews with a designated refactoring team that has led a multi-year, centralized effort on refactoring Windows. The quantitative analysis of Windows 7 version history finds that the binary modules refactored by this team experienced significant reduction in the number of inter-module dependencies and post-release defects, indicating a visible benefit of refactoring.
Advances in Remote Sensing for Oil Spill Disaster Management: State-of-the-Art Sensors Technology for Oil Spill Surveillance (2008)

Reducing the risk of oil spill disasters is essential for protecting the environmentand reducing economic losses. Oil spill surveillance constitutes an important component ofoil spill disaster management. Advances in remote sensing technologies can help to identifyparties potentially responsible for pollution and to identify minor spills before they causewidespread damage. Due to the large number of sensors currently available for oil spillsurveillance, there is a need for a comprehensive overview and comparison of existingsensors. Specifically, this paper examines the characteristics and applications of differentsensors. A better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of oil spill surveillancesensors will improve the operational use of these sensors for oil spill response andcontingency planning. Laser fluorosensors were found to be the best available sensor for oilspill detection since they not only detect and classify oil on all surfaces but also operate ineither the day or night. For example, the Scanning Laser Environmental AirborneFluorosensor (SLEAF) sensor was identified to be a valuable tool for oil spill surveillance.However, no single sensor was able to provide all information required for oil spillcontingency planning. Hence, combinations of sensors are currently used for oil spillsurveillance. Specifically, satellite sensors are used for preliminary oil spill assessmentwhile airborne sensors are used for detailed oil spill analysis. While satellite remote sensingis not suitable for tactical oil spill planning it can provide a synoptic coverage of theaffected area.
Epidemiología de la esclerosis múltiple:: revisión bibliográfica (2017)

espanolLa esclerosis multiple (EM) es una enfermedad autoinmune y degenerativa de etiologia desconocida. Se producen lesiones en el SNC, concretamente una desmielizacion de los axones de las neuronas. Estas lesiones tienen diversas manifestaciones clinicas y de diferente gravedad y evolucion. Debido al desconocimiento de su etiologia en tratamiento que reciben estos pacientes se centran en frenar su evolucion, tratar los episodios agudos y los diferentes sintomas y complicaciones.La epidemiologia de la EM esta condicionada por diferentes factores ambientales y geneticos, que al confluir favorecen el desarrollo de la misma. En los ultimos anos ha incrementado el numero de casos en todo el mundo, por lo que actualmente esta siendo objeto de estudio. Nos hemos documentado sobre esta enfermedad autoinmune, concretamente sobre su epidemiologia y los factores geneticos y ambientales que favorecen el desarrollo de la misma. EnglishMultiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune and degenerative disease of unknown etiology. Central nervous system injuries, namely a demyelination of the axons of the neurons are produced. These injuries have different clinical manifestations with different severity and evolution. Due to the lack of awareness about their etiology, the treatment received by these patients, is focused on slowing their evolution, treating acute episodes and different symptoms and complications. The epidemiology of MS is influenced by different environmental and genetic factors that converge to favour the development of the same one. In the last few years, the number of cases has been increased all over the world, so it is currently being studied. We have documented ourselves about this autoimmune disease, specifically on its epidemiology and genetic and environmental factors that favour its development.

Successfully Eliminating Chest Radiography by Replacing It With Dual Vector Technology and an Algorithm for PICC Placement (2014)

Abstract It can be difficult to get the tip of a central vascular access device to the targeted area of the caval-atrial junction accurately and precisely when placing a device at the bedside. Tip placement outside this precise location can lead to complications and poor patient outcomes. Malpositions increase patients' radiation exposure, increase costs, and delay treatment. The current standard of using chest radiography to check tip placement has demonstrated discrepancies and is subject to interpretation differences between radiologists. Chest radiography and malpositions can be eliminated with the use of technology that includes Doppler, echocardiography (ECG), and an algorithm. This technology can reduce the cost of labor and supplies in addition to allowing the use of a central vascular access device immediately after placement.
Fabrication of a transparent and flexible thin film transistor based on single-walled carbon nanotubes using the direct transfer method (2009)

The fabrication of transparent and flexible thin film transistors (TFTs), using single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) networks as bottom gates and conducting channels and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as an insulating layer, by the direct transfer method is demonstrated. The fabricated SWCNT-TFTs exhibited a mobility of 23.4 cm2/V s and an ON/OFF current ratio of ∼103. A minor decrease of ∼7% on the performance of the SWCNT-TFTs after bending to a radius of curvature of ∼6 mm was observed. The differences in performance of the devices fabricated with SWCNTs on SiO2/Si and those prepared by transferring SWCNTs onto a polycarbonate substrate are also discussed.
Specific airway resistance, interrupter resistance, and respiratory impedance in healthy children aged 2–7 years (1998)

We report data on respiratory function in healthy children aged 2-7 years in whom we measured respiratory resistance by the interrupter technique (Rint); total respiratory impedance (Zrs), respiratory resistance (Rrs), and reactance (Xrs) by the impulse oscillation technique; and specific airway resistance (sRaw) by a modified procedure method in the whole body plethysmograph. Measurements were attempted in 151 children and were successfully obtained in 121 children with a mean (SD) age of 5.3 (1.5) years; no measurements were possible in 30 children (mean age 3 (0.9) years). The repeatability of measurements was independent of the age of the subjects, and the within-subject coefficient of variation was 11.1%, 8.1%, 10.8%, and 10.2% for sRaw, Rint, Zrs, and Rrs at 5 Hz (Rrs5), respectively. All lung function indices were linearly related to age, height, and weight. A significant negative correlation with age, height, and weight was found for Rint, Zrs, and Rrs5. Xrs5 was positively correlated to age and body size. The mean values of Rint, Rrs5, Xrs5, and Zrs in children younger and older than 5 years were 1.04, 1.38, -0.5, and 1.48 kPa x L(-1) x s and 0.9, 1.18, -0.37, and 1.23 kPa x L(-1) x s, respectively. sRaw showed no significant correlation with body size or age and the mean sRaw in children younger and older than 5 years was 1.09 and 1.13 kPa x s, respectively. None of the indices of respiratory function differed between boys and girls. Xrs and Rrs exhibited a significant frequency dependence in the range of 5-35 Hz. The techniques applied in this study require minimal cooperation and allow measurement of lung function in 80% of our population of awake young children. Further studies are needed to evaluate the potentials of the presently established reference values for clinical and epidemiological purposes.
Tactile sequence based object categorization: A Bag of features modeled by Linear Dynamic System with Symmetric Transition Matrix (2016)

In this paper, we propose a novel categorization framework to recognize tactile sequences based on two particular properties of the tactile data. For the first one, tactile sequences are spatio-temporal data which is sequential and dynamic, depicting the process of grasping an object in different grasping stages; therefore, it is reasonable to discover the dynamical pattern by modeling tactile data as integral sequences rather than individual frames. For the second one, a tactile sequence contains various dynamical patterns in different stages of the grasping process; therefore, we decompose the whole sequence into multiple mini-sequences so as to enhance feature resolution. To address both properties in our framework, we take advantage of a Bag-of-System model using parameters of the Linear Dynamic System (LDS) as feature descriptors. Moreover, we employ the LDS with Symmetric Transition matrix (LDSST) rather than the original LDS as the building-block in order to obtain accurate codewords of the codebook of the Bag-of-System. The performance of our framework is evaluated on six real-world databases of three groups. Our experiments show that classification using LDSST is better than the original LDS, and the decomposition of tactile sequences does improve the accuracy of classification. The experiment results also show the superiority of our framework in comparison with other state-of-the-art sequence classifiers.
