Flight Control Designs Using v-Gap Metric and Local Multi-Objective Gain-Scheduling (2003)

This paper presents flight control designs of an unmanned space vehicle, HOPE-X vehicle using interpolative gain scheduling techniques. The ν -gap metric is used to evaluate the errors between linear models at operating points. The linear parameter varying models for the HOPE-X vehicle are then constructed by minimizing two types of indices defined with the ν -gap metric. On the other hand, the magnitude of the input is locally constrained to avoid the saturation of the control surfaces. In the numerical simulations of the HOPEX in the terminal area energy management (TAEM) phase, the gain scheduling control laws whose number of operating points was greater than two stabilized the HOPE-X vehicle over the entire region of the TAEM phase. Furthermore, the input-saturation constraint was effective in suppressing the magnitude of the input and to extend the stability region of the design parameter.
Finger identification for touch panel operation using tapping fluctuation (2009)

In recent years, user interface for touch input on mobile devices with touch panels has spread. In general, each target on a touch panel is designed to be finger size or larger to avoid selection mistake, however, such design slows down complex tasks. This paper presents a finger identification method for touch panel operations. When a user taps with a finger on the touch panel, the detected coordinates changes while the finger contacts with touch panel, and it differs in each finger. We call it tapping fluctuation, and we use it for finger identification. The proposed method has advantage that it doesn't need additional device or hardware revision. By associating each finger to different function, more complex tasks become possible. We conducted an experiment of identifying to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. Additionally, we develop a filer application as an example with user interface using finger identification.

Seasonal Changes of Growth and Leaf Perillaldehyde in Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton (2009)

Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton, a member of Lamiaceae and a native dicot in Asia, is now distributed worldwide including Taiwan. To further explore its uses as a commercial crop, a comprehensive study regarding the growth behavior and chemical components of this plant species is needed. In the present research, changes in growth traits, including plant height, leaf area index and weights of aerial parts, and leaf perillaldehyde (PA) concentration and content were investigated for plants grown in different growing seasons in the experimental period from 2004 to 2006. The five-leaf stage seedlings were transplanted in March (Season I), April (Season II), May (Season III) June (Season IV) and July (Season V), respectively. Concentration of leaf PA was determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Results showed that plant height was taller and leaf area index and fresh weights of aerial parts were larger for plants grown in cooler Season I relative to those plants grown in other warmer seasons (Seasons II-V), implying that warming conditions during growing periods was not in favor to plant growth. Seeds harvested at maturity were found varied in different growing seasons and seed produced in Season V was the lowest. In contrast, the highest value of 500-seed weight also obtained from seeds produced in Seasons V. The PA concentration in the primary leaves on the main stem from position 10 to 15 was higher than others and the quadratic pattern was similar in different growing seasons in 2004–2006. The distribution pattern of leaf PA content was in accordance with leaf PA concentration during the growing periods. In considering the proportions of PA distributed in leaves emerged on the main stem and the lateral branches, the proper time period to harvest the highest quantity of leaf PA for a single plant was from 110 to 120 days after transplanting.
Anionic polymerization of styrene by sodium naphthalene (1960)

Abstract Polymerization of styrene in dioxane solution by sodium naphthalene proceeds in accordance with the anionic mechanism proposed by Szwarc. Values of E act = 9 ± 3 kcal and A = 5 × 10 7 l./mole −1 sec. −1 have been obtained for the anionic propagation reaction.
Genomics in Multiple Myeloma: Biology and Clinical Implications (2005)

The advent of new techniques, such as interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization, and, more recently, global array-based gene expression profiling, has accelerated genomic research in myeloma. Distinct biologic subtypes, characterized by unique genetic abnormalities with differing clinical outcomes, have been identified. The identification of these primary genetic defects, and the deregulated oncogenes and pathways in myeloma, has allowed for the development of more targeted therapies. This has led to the discovery of an increased number of active agents in the treatment of myeloma. Genetics also have prognostic importance in myeloma. Recent studies have elucidated a genetic prognostic hierarchy, and have enabled improved definition of the prognostic significance of their interactions. The current challenges are to: improve the dissection of the genetic heterogeneity of the disease; better define progression events; improve the risk stratification of patients; more accurately select patients who will respond well to a particular treatment; and develop more rational combinations of treatment. Genomics will have an important role to play in all of these goals.

Loss of Inositol Polyphosphate 5-Phosphatase Is an Early Event in Development of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (2010)

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) occurs commonly and can metastasize. Identification of specific molecular aberrations and mechanisms underlying the development and progression of cutaneous SCC may lead to better prognostic and therapeutic approaches and more effective chemoprevention strategies. To identify genetic changes associated with early stages of cutaneous SCC development, we analyzed a series of 40 archived skin tissues ranging from normal skin to invasive SCC. Using high-resolution array-based comparative genomic hybridization, we identified deletions of a region on chromosome 10q harboring the INPP5A gene in 24% of examined SCC tumors. Subsequent validation by immunohistochemistry on an independent sample set of 71 SCC tissues showed reduced INPP5A protein levels in 72% of primary SCC tumors. Decrease in INPP5A protein levels seems to be an early event in SCC development, as it also is observed in 9 of 26 (35%) examined actinic keratoses, the earliest stage in SCC development. Importantly, further reduction of INPP5A levels is seen in a subset of SCC patients as the tumor progresses from primary to metastatic stage. The observed frequency and pattern of loss indicate that INPP5A, a negative regulator of inositol signaling, may play a role in development and progression of cutaneous SCC tumors.
Lewis acid-induced rearrangement of 2,3-epoxy sulfides: regiospecific nucleophilic trapping of thiiranium ion intermediates with nitrogen nucleophiles (1993)

The Lewis acid-induced isomerisation of 2,3-epoxy sulfides into the corresponding 3-trimethylsilyloxy-1,2-thiiranium ions is described. Such intermediates react with nitrogen nucleophiles regiospecifically to form 1-substituted 3-hydroxy 2-thioethers in good to moderate yields with full stereochemical control.
Molecular cloning of a member of a third class of Shaker-family K+ channel genes in mammals. (1990)

We report the cloning of RKShIIIA, a cDNA encoding a K+ channel sequence expressed in rat brain. This cDNA encodes K+ channel subunits that express in Xenopus oocytes a slow, 4-aminopyridine- and tetraethylammonium-sensitive, delayed rectifier-type K+ channel activated by large membrane depolarizations. This gene belongs to the Shaker (Sh) family of K+ channel genes, since the predicted protein has the same overall structure and shows significant homology to other members of this family. However, RKShIIIA cannot be assigned to either of the two known classes of Sh-family genes in mammals based on sequence analysis. Notable features of the RKShIIIA protein product include a probable cytoplasmic loop rich in prolines and a stretch very homologous to the Drosophila Shaw protein, both near the amino terminus.
Transcription Factor KLF7 Is Important for Neuronal Morphogenesis in Selected Regions of the Nervous System (2005)

The Krüppel-like transcription factors (KLFs) are important regulators of cell proliferation and differentiation in several different organ systems. The mouse Klf7 gene is strongly active in postmitotic neuroblasts of the developing nervous system, and the corresponding protein stimulates transcription of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21waf/cip gene. Here we report that loss of KLF7 activity in mice leads to neonatal lethality and a complex phenotype which is associated with deficits in neurite outgrowth and axonal misprojection at selected anatomical locations of the nervous system. Affected axon pathways include those of the olfactory and visual systems, the cerebral cortex, and the hippocampus. In situ hybridizations and immunoblots correlated loss of KLF7 activity in the olfactory epithelium with significant downregulation of the p21waf/cip and p27kip1 genes. Cotransfection experiments extended the last finding by documenting KLF7's ability to transactivate a reporter gene construct driven by the proximal promoter of p27kip1. Consistent with emerging evidence for a role of Cip/Kip proteins in cytoskeletal dynamics, we also documented p21waf/cip and p27kip1 accumulation in the cytoplasm of differentiating olfactory sensory neurons. KLF7 activity might therefore control neuronal morphogenesis in part by optimizing the levels of molecules that promote axon outgrowth.
Life time evaluation of MOSFET in ULSIs using photon emission method (2003)

A method of estimating the lifetime of a MOSFET at the LSI chip level by using the photon emission is proposed. The relation between the photon count and the lifetime under AC stress was studied. The method is based on the theory that the lifetime of hot carrier degradation is described by a universal curve with respect to the photon count at 200-nm wavelength. A quantitative estimation of lifetime was demonstrated. As an example of the application of this method, the lifetime of a CMOS microprocessor was estimated.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Inlet Fogging of Gas Turbine Engines: Part B — Practical Considerations, Control, and O&M Aspects (2000)

The severe dependence of gas turbine output on ambient temperature has created the need for inlet cooling technologies. This paper focuses on the practical aspects of direct evaporative cooling by fogging of the inlet air to a gas turbine compressor. This paper covers several of the practical considerations relating to the location of nozzles, water quality and operations and maintenance issues that relate to implementation of such systems. A design and implementation checklist is provided to assist users in ensuring a reliable installation.
Bovicin HC5 inhibits wasteful amino acid degradation by mixed ruminal bacteria<i>in vitro</i> (2009)

Streptococcus bovis HC5 produces a broad spectrum lantibiotic (bovicin HC5) that inhibits pure cultures of hyper ammonia-producing bacteria (HAB). Experiments were preformed to see if: (1) S. bovis HC5 cells could inhibit the deamination of amino acids by mixed ruminal bacteria taken directly from a cow, (2) semi-purified bovicin was as effective as S. bovis HC5 cells, and 3) semi-purified and the feed additive monensin were affecting the same types of ammonia-producing ruminal bacteria. Because purified and semi-purified bovicin HC5 was as effective as S. bovis HC5 cells, it appeared that bovicin HC5 was penetrating the cell membranes of HAB before it could be degraded by peptidases and proteinases. Mixed ruminal bacteria that were successively transferred and enriched nine times with trypticase did not become significantly more resistant to either bovicin HC5 (50 AU mL(-1)) or monensin (5 microM), and amplified rDNA restriction analysis indicated that bovicin HC5 and monensin appeared to be selecting against the same types of bacteria.

Onsite Measurement of Lead in Gunshot Residues Using Linear Sweep Voltammetry (2015)

This work presents a method for the measurement of Pb by linear sweep anodic stripping voltammetry on an Hg film electrode. The linear working range for Pb was up to 100 μgL-1, whilst the limit of detection was 19 ngL-1 (360 seconds accumulation time) and per cent residual standard deviation across 10 measurements was 0.98%. The method was applied to gunshot residues for the onsite monitoring of Pb at a public shooting range.
Non-renin dependent hypertension in renal allograft rejections. A structural and functional analysis. (1984)

A 25-year-old recipient of a cadaveric renal allograft underwent three acute rejection episodes within the first 40 days after transplant, the final episode necessitating nephrectomy. The saralasin acetate infusion test and plasma renin activity (as measured by radioimmunoassay of angiotensin I) were used as functional tests of the renin-angiotensin axis. Biopsy specimens of the allograft one hour after implantation and sections of the nephrectomy specimen were fixed and stained with hematoxylin-eosin for structural analysis. On three separate dates, during the final rejection episode, saralasin acetate infusion of up to 20 micrograms/kg/min failed to lower BP significantly. The final two trials were preceded by furosemide administration the previous day to reduce fluid volume. Plasma renin activity was low on all three dates. On nephrectomy, the allograft was noted grossly to be infarcted. Histologic examination revealed cortical necrosis, markedly narrowed or occluded intrarenal vessels, and extremely narrowed large vessels within the renal pelvis. The allograft renal artery was thickened and narrowed. From our structural and functional analysis we conclude that (1) hypertension, in this case, was probably volume dependent and was clearly renin independent; and (2) the low renin levels are explainable on the basis of extensive vascular occlusion producing renal infarction and resulting in a kidney incapable of producing significant amounts of renin (autonephrectomy).
Selective Oxide Coating of Silicon Gate (SELOCS) (1979)

A novel self-aligned insulation for silicon gates is realized by a new technique of selective oxide coating of silicon gates (SELOCS). This SELOCS utilizes concentration-dependent oxidation and diffusion-defined uniform etching. As the entire surface of a phosphorus-doped polysilicon gate is uniformly covered with its own oxide, SELOCS technology provides a nearly zero registration tolerance between the photoengraving of S & D contact holes and the gate. Consequently, almost one half of area reduction ratio is obtained without requiring finer pattern lithography.
A PROCESS MODEL APPLICABLE TO SOFTWARE ENGINEERING AND KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING (1999)

Software engineering (SE) and knowledge engineering (KE) develop software systems using different construction process models. Because of the growing complexity of the problems to be solved by computers, the conventional systems (CS) and knowledge-based systems (KBS) software process is at present passing through a period of integration. In this paper, we propose a software process model applicable to both CS and KBS. The model designed is declarative, that is, it indicates what is done to build a software system. Its goal is to provide software and knowledge engineers with a techno-conceptual tool to develop systems comprising both traditional and knowledge-based software.
Polymer “Clicking” by CuAAC Reactions (2008)

Abstract The CuAAC “click” reaction has developed as one of the most useful and widely employed reactions in ligation within polymer chemistry. This is due to the unique properties of the Cu(I) catalysis which renders the reaction quantitative even at low concentrations, orthogonal with other chemistries and extremely robust. The formed triazole on the other hand is of intermediate polarity and chemically and biochemically “invisible”, and the CuAAC provides the ideal “click” reaction for stitching together polymer architectures of unprecedended complexity as was it molecular LEGO. The CuAAC “clicking” in polymer chemistry is increasing exponentially and lead to highly defined polymer materials with novel properties. magnified image
Compressed Sensing Image Reconstruction Via Recursive Spatially Adaptive Filtering (2007)

We introduce a new approach to image reconstruction from highly incomplete data. The available data are assumed to be a small collection of spectral coefficients of an arbitrary linear transform. This reconstruction problem is the subject of intensive study in the recent field of "compressed sensing" (also known as "compressive sampling"). Our approach is based on a quite specific recursive filtering procedure. At every iteration the algorithm is excited by injection of random noise in the unobserved portion of the spectrum and a spatially adaptive image denoising filter, working in the image domain, is exploited to attenuate the noise and reveal new features and details out of the incomplete and degraded observations. This recursive algorithm can be interpreted as a special type of the Robbins-Monro stochastic approximation procedure with regularization enabled by a spatially adaptive filter. Overall, we replace the conventional parametric modeling used in CS by a nonparametric one. We illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for two important inverse problems from computerized tomography: Radon inversion from sparse projections and limited-angle tomography. In particular we show that the algorithm allows to achieve exact reconstruction of synthetic phantom data even from a very small number projections. The accuracy of our reconstruction is in line with the best results in the compressed sensing field.

State transition analysis to detect malicious program behavior (2008)

In this paper, we present a new method to detect malicious program behavior in general based on computer audit data. Ilgun, et al. have proposed USTAT (State Transition Analysis Tool for UNIX), a rule-based state transition analysis approach to solve this problem. Also, Hofmeyr and Forrest have used the N-grams method to classify program behavior traces. Here we propose an improved method that uses state transition probabilities to classify audit data. This method is more flexible and dynamic, and could be applied to a wider range of data.
[Investigation of free volume changes in the structure of the polymer bifocal contact lenses by means of the positron annihilation method]. (2010)

Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy has been applied of free volume properties in bifocal contact lenses. The measurements have been made on new lenses and then after one, and two weeks wearing by the patient. The longest lifetime, obtained via three-component analyses of the spectra, was associated with the pick-off annihilation of ortho-positronium trapped in the free volume. After one, and two weeks wearing of the lenses changes in the ortho-positronium lifetimes and the relative intensity of the longest component were observed. These results are discussed on the basis of a free volume model.
Safe treatment of thiopurine S-methyltransferase deficient Crohn’s disease patients with azathioprine (2002)

Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) deficient patients develop life threatening haematotoxicity (for example, pancytopenia) when treated with a standard dose of azathioprine (AZA) and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) due to excessive accumulation of cytotoxic metabolites. At present, it is generally recommended that these patients should not receive AZA or 6-MP treatment for inflammatory bowel disease. We report for the first time that Crohn's disease patients with TPMT deficiency can be successfully treated with AZA. We illustrate this with three cases where treatment has been successful and toxicity has been avoided by carefully titrating the drug dose. Thus very low TPMT activity demands pharmacogenetically guided dosing.

The inflammation produced by corticosteroid inhalers in the pharynx in asthmatics (2008)

Inhaled corticosteroids predispose to pharyngitis and an inflammatory infiltrate. However, the clinical diagnosis of pharyngitis does not correlate well with cellular inflammatory infiltrate and is therefore, not a reliable measure of underlying inflammation. We advocate caution in the use of pharyngeal erythema as a measure of underlying inflammation.
Bit-interleaved coded modulations for multiple-input multiple-output channels (2002)

We describe a soft feedback iterative decoding technique for bit-interleaved coded modulations (BICM) where the modulator uses multiple transmitting antennas and the receiver employs space-time coherent detection with multiple antennas. We investigate the bit error rate and frame error rate performance of this technique applied to two families of error-control codes: simple nonrecursive binary convolutional codes and parallel turbo codes based on two recursive constituents. Two different types of fading channels are considered: independent flat Rayleigh and block fading channels. A 64-state rate 1/2 binary convolutional code performs at 1.5 dB from the outage capacity with perfect channel state information and at 3 dB with expectation-maximization estimation on the block fading channel.
