<title>System for renal movement elimination and renal diagnosis supported by vague knowledge</title> (2000)

For the analysis of renal function, sequences of 90 magnet resonance images of the abdominal region showing both kidneys are taken in intervals of two seconds after a contrast medium was applied. Respiration of the patients during the acquisition of the images leads to organ movements throughout the series. These displacements are corrected by using an extended cepstral technique. To minimize registration errors caused by inhomogeneous movements of organs and tissues during respiration, the cepstrum-relevant part of the images is limited to small regions of interest around both kidneys. Even organ movements of sub-pixel range can be detected. After correction, the kidneys are the same position throughout the sequence. The regions of interest marked in one image are projected to all other images. To archive diagnostic results, dynamic contrast medium evaluations for different tissues of the kidneys are computed with signal-intensity-time graphs. Using a-priori knowledge about parameters of the SIT-graph for a whole kidney and about organ shape and structure, pixels of the kidney-segment are divided into the three classes renal cortex, medulla and pelvis. As a result, precise graphs can be computed for each tissue. The evaluation of the system is in progress, time save is more than one hour per patient.
Variability mechanisms in e-business process families (2006)

Abstract Nowadays, process oriented software systems, like many business information systems, don’t exist only in one single version, but in many variants for better coverage of the target market. Until now, the corresponding customization has to be done manually, which isatimeconsuming and error-prone task, which could be realized much more efficiently by applying process family engineering techniques. Process family engineering is amodern software development approach, which allows for the rapid and cost-effective development and deployment of customer tailored process oriented systems. In this paper we present our findings in the area of process family architectures for e-business systems, described as variant-rich process models in the Business Process Modeling Notation. We moreover address variability implementation issues using Java variability mechanisms and code generators. 1
THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF WAVE ENERGY DISSIPATORS COMPOSED OF WIRE MESH SCREENS, (1963)

Wave energy dissipators composed of vertical wire mesh screens aligned normal to the direction of wave propagation were analyzed theoretically and tested. The transmission coefficients of the wave energy dissipators were expressed as a function of number and size of screens and of incident wave steepness. Three energy dissipators made of galvanized wire mesh screens with four mesh per inch, and one dissipator made of bronze wire mesh screens with sixteen mesh per inch were tested for deep water waves. The experimental transmission coefficients which varied from 0.14 to 0.92 were in good agreement with the analytical values. The reflection coefficient of the wave energy dissipator when placed in a standing wave system was empirically expressed as the 5/2 power of the transmission coefficient. In the course of the experiment, the dynamic response of the wave gage was tested by forcing the wave gage to oscillate mechanically in still water. The error involved in the measurement of wave height is estimated as within =5%. In addition, two tables of wave length, celerity, and relative depth for a given wave period in seconds and water depth in feet are compiled as appendices. (Author)
Taste receptor stimulation and feeding behaviour in the puffer, <i>Fugu pardalis</i> I. Effect of single chemicals (1978)

In electrophysiological experimentation, various chemicals are effective in stimulating the lip chemoreceptors of the puffer, Fugu pardalis (Hidaka et al., 1975; Kiyohara et al., 1975a). Their effects as feeding stimulants on this fish were studied by offering the lip stimulants in starch pellets. The starch pellet by itself was not taken by the fish but it was accepted when stimulants such as clam extracts were addded to it. Sucrose, ineffective as a lip chemoreceptor stimulant, had no effect on feeding behaviour. NaCl, to which the lip chemoreceptors show a low sensitivity, did not affect the feeding response when added at 2 M to clam extracts. HCl and quinine inhibited the response of the fish to the clam extracts. Alanine and other amino acids, which were effective on the lip chemoreceptors, were accepted. AMP, IMP, UMP and ADP were not accepted in spite of their marked stimulatory effectiveness on the lip chemoreceptors. Sodium salts of fumaric, malic and succinic acids were not accepted.
The Process of Formation of Objectivity of Fishery Port from Meiji to Taisho Era (2002)

The purpose of this thesis is to clarify how 'fishing port' had been created both physically and conceptually through the historical materials analysis. results are follows. 1. Through mid of Meiji era to Taisho era, the needs for 'fishing port' have been changed from port of refuge, pelagic fishery port, base port for large ships, processed facility to food supply base for people. 2. This spatial and conceptual alteration was promoted as national project becase it was recognized that fishery port brought benefit to boarder people and nation.

Traveling-Wave Tube Experiments at Millimeter Wavelengths with a New, Easily Built, Space Harmonic Circuit (1955)

A new slow-wave circuit structure for traveling-wave tubes consists of a ridged rectangular waveguide with a series of transverse slots in the broad wall opposite the ridge. This structure can be fabricated easily in sizes small enough for use at millimeter wavelengths if the slotted wall is prepared either by winding a grid or by photo-etching the slots in a thin metal sheet. Demountable traveling-wave tubes were constructed in which an electron beam was coupled to space-harmonics of waves traveling on such a circuit. Using a circuit whose slotted wall was fabricated by the photo-etching technique, forward-wave interaction and backward-wave oscillations were obtained in a wavelength band centered at 5.4 mm. With structures whose slotted walls were prepared by grid winding, backward-wave oscillators were made which performed in wavelength bands centered at 5.1 mm and at 3.6 mm.
Preparation and Reactions of Heteroaryl Organomagnesium Compounds (2005)

Abstract The halogen/magnesium-exchange reaction has opened new perspectives in organic synthesis and has considerably extended the range of available functionalized aryl and heteroaryl magnesium compounds bearing functional groups such as ester, nitrile, iodide, imine, or even sensitive groups like nitro, hydroxy, and boronic esters. The present review summarizes the applications of these functionalized heteroaryl- and arylmagnesium compounds for the synthesis of a wide variety of regiospecifically functionalized five- and six-membered heterocycles.
BUBBLE Rap: Social-Based Forwarding in Delay-Tolerant Networks (2011)

The increasing penetration of smart devices with networking capability form novel networks. Such networks, also referred as pocket switched networks (PSNs), are intermittently connected and represent a paradigm shift of forwarding data in an ad hoc manner. The social structure and interaction of users of such devices dictate the performance of routing protocols in PSNs. To that end, social information is an essential metric for designing forwarding algorithms for such types of networks. Previous methods relied on building and updating routing tables to cope with dynamic network conditions. On the downside, it has been shown that such approaches end up being cost ineffective due to the partial capture of the transient network behavior. A more promising approach would be to capture the intrinsic characteristics of such networks and utilize them in the design of routing algorithms. In this paper, we exploit two social and structural metrics, namely centrality and community, using real human mobility traces. The contributions of this paper are two-fold. First, we design and evaluate BUBBLE, a novel social-based forwarding algorithm, that utilizes the aforementioned metrics to enhance delivery performance. Second, we empirically show that BUBBLE can substantially improve forwarding performance compared to a number of previously proposed algorithms including the benchmarking history-based PROPHET algorithm, and social-based forwarding SimBet algorithm.

Vitellogenin gene of the silkworm, <i>Bombyx mori</i>: Structure and sex‐dependent expression (1994)

Vitellogenin of Bombyx mori is a precursor of major yolk protein synthesized in the female fat body at larval-pupal ecdysis. The gene for B. mori vitellogenin is composed of seven exons interspersed by six introns. Developmental profile of the primary transcript of the gene indicated that the biosynthesis of B. mori vitellogenin is regulated transcriptionally in a sex- and stage-dependent manner in the fat body. The Arg-X-Arg-Arg sequence, which conforms to the recognition site of mammalian furin, occurs in a region just upstream of the putative proteolytic cleavage site of B. mori previtellogenin.
Conjugated 1.BETA.-Hydroxycholic Acid in the Urine of Newborns and Pregnant Women Measured by Radioimmunoassay Using Antisera Raised against N-(1.BETA.-Hydroxycholyl)-2-aminopropionic Acid-Bovine Serum Albumin Conjugate. (1992)

Anti-tauro 1 beta-hydroxycholic acid antisera were prepared by immunizing rabbits with N-(1 beta,3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-tetrahydroxy-5 beta-cholan-24-oyl)-2- aminopropionic acid-bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugate. The antisera raised had high affinity (1.25-1.46 x 10(9) M-1) and specificity for conjugated 1 beta-hydroxycholic acid; cross-reactivity for glyco 1 beta-hydroxycholic acid was 100% and that for the glycine and taurine conjugates of other 1 beta-hydroxylated bile acids ranged from 11.30 to 0.23%. Urinary concentrations of conjugated 1 beta-hydroxycholic acid were determined by radioimmunoassay in newborns, 0-20 d after birth, in amounts ranging from 0.29 to 18.51 micrograms/ml and in women in late pregnancy (less than 1.13 micrograms/ml), as well as in normal women (less than 0.12 microgram/ml).
Directions for Clinical Research and Genomic Research into the Next Decade: Implications for Informatics (1998)

Medical informatics is defined largely by its host disciplines in clinical and biological medicine, and to project the agenda for informatics into the next decade, the health community must envision the broad context of biomedical research. This paper is a sketch of this vision, taking into account pressures from changes in the U.S. health care system, the need for more objective information on which to base health care decisions, and the accelerating progress and clinical impact of genomics research. The lessons of modern genomics research demonstrate the power of computing and communication tools to facilitate rapid progress through the adoption of open community standards for information exchange and collaboration. While aspects of this vision are speculative, it seems clear that the core agenda for informatics must be the development of interoperating systems that can facilitate the secure gathering, interchange, and analysis of high-quality information and can gain leverage from worldwide collaboration in advancing and applying new medical knowledge.
Radiofrequency interference suppression in synthetic aperture radar based on singular spectrum analysis with extended – FAPI subspace tracking (2012)

To obtain sufficient resolution, the operating band of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) must extend over several tens of megahertz. Consequently, SAR reception occurs across frequency bands allocated for other broadcasting stations and SAR often suffers radio frequency interference (RFI). This study proposes a novel approach to suppress RFI in SAR. The authors combine the classical spectral analysis method singular spectrum analysis, with an efficient subspace tracking method fast approximated power iteration (FAPI) which has the most economical computational cost among state-of-the-art algorithms. Furthermore, they supply a gap of FAPI so that it can achieve rank tracking based on eigenvalues distribution of the covariance matrix of the observed SAR record and in that way can detect the number of RFIs along the SAR azimuth time. The proposed algorithm is a time domain processing method and performs on SAR range records one-by-one. Finally, well-focused SAR imagery is obtained from the ‘decontaminated’ SAR data using classical SAR imaging algorithms. The proposed algorithm could be applied in complicated interference circumstances no matter the styles of RFI. Imaging results of artificial and real data have proved the validity and robustness of this algorithm.
Two General Methods for the Synthesis of Thiol-Functional Polycaprolactones (1999)

We report here two different methods for preparing thiol-functional polymers. The first method consists of esterifying the hydroxyl-terminated polyesters with a thiol-protected mercaptoacetic acid. The Sangers reagent (2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene) was used to protect the mercaptoacetic acid and was removed with mercaptoethanol under mild conditions. The second technique involves the preparation of a protected thiol-functional initiator, the α-(2,4-dinitrophenylthio)ethanol, that could then be used in the polymerization of ε-caprolactone. This “functionalization from initiation” technique could also lead to the preparation of well-defined multibranched polymers with a thiol group at the focal point after the polymerization with a mercapto-initiator carrying dihydroxy or tetrahydroxy functionalities as initiating sites. The ultimate motivation in the preparation of such functional polymers is to elaborate nanocomposites by using the polymers as macroligands in the synthesis of nanoparticles.

Infrared Spectrum and the Structure of the Low-Temperature Phases of Crystalline HCl, HBr, and HI (1955)

The infrared spectra of crystalline HCl, HBr, and HI have been studied at —205°C. The fundamental vibrations were observed in HCl at 2704 and 2746 cm—1, in HBr at 2404 and 2438 cm—1, and in HI at 2120 cm—1. In addition, low-frequency bands associated with torsional lattice vibrations were observed directly and in combination with the fundamental vibrations of the molecules. It is concluded that in the low-temperature crystalline phases both HCl and HBr form zigzag hydrogen-bonded chains, the angle between adjacent molecules being about 107° in HCl and 97° in HBr. The crystalline potential function is investigated for all three molecules.
Integration of Taxonomic Descriptive Data across Multiple Database Platforms and Softwares (Weed Information Network — a Case Study) (2001)

Taxonomic data are generally maintained in a number of formats across multiple database software platforms. Descriptive data in particular tends to be maintained in isolation and its integration with related systems is an important and inevitable issue. This presentation describes the framework for managing DELTA data in an integrated environment. It identifies the steps and processes involved in integrating DELTA descriptive data with other descriptive data and data maintained in other corporate database systems. It describes how the issues of data integrity, currency and duplication are resolved. It uses the Western Australian Herbarium’s Weed Information Network (WIN) as a case study to demonstrate how this integration is achieved. The challenge faced by our DELTA team was to implement an institutional DELTA database with a minimum of staffing resources and, at the same time, maintain currency of plant names and distributions. A coordinated approach, using staff and volunteers to capture only data not already maintained in other corporate systems, was adopted. Critical to this approach is an automated mechanism for extracting and generating DELTA-formatted data from these other systems. DELIA, the DELta IntegrAtor, developed at the WA Herbarium for managing institutional DELTA data, is the answer. Although it lends itself to general application, DELIA is currently being used to manipulate weed data by mapping, merging and creating DELTA datasets. Lists of weed species are extracted (by family), generated and distributed to scorers as DELTA Editor files. DELIA later merges the scored data into the WIN Master set. Finally, it automatically generates scores from data held in related non-DELTA systems (eg. distribution and family names) and interfaces directly with Confor for natural language descriptions and Intkey for interactive identification.
LSOT: A Lightweight Self-Organized Trust Model in VANETs (2016)

With the advances in automobile industry and wireless communication technology, Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) have attracted the attention of a large number of researchers. Trust management plays an important role in VANETs. However, it is still at the preliminary stage and the existing trust models cannot entirely conform to the characteristics of VANETs. This work proposes a novel Lightweight Self-Organized Trust (LSOT) model which contains trust certificate-based and recommendation-based trust evaluations. Both the supernodes and trusted third parties are not needed in our model. In addition, we comprehensively consider three factor weights to ease the collusion attack in trust certificate-based trust evaluation, and we utilize the testing interaction method to build and maintain the trust network and propose a maximum local trust (MLT) algorithm to identify trustworthy recommenders in recommendation-based trust evaluation. Furthermore, a fully distributed VANET scenario is deployed based on the famous Advogato dataset and a series of simulations and analysis are conducted. The results illustrate that our LSOT model significantly outperforms the excellent experience-based trust (EBT) and Lightweight Cross-domain Trust (LCT) models in terms of evaluation performance and robustness against the collusion attack.
A Novel Form of the G Protein β Subunit Gβ5 Is Specifically Expressed in the Vertebrate Retina (1996)

The G protein beta subunit, Gbeta5, is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system. In rodent brain, Gbeta5 is expressed as a protein with an apparent molecular mass of 39,000 daltons (39 kDa). We have identified an additional Gbeta5 immunoreactive protein of apparent size 44 kDa in the vertebrate retina. Molecular cloning and sequencing of polymerase chain reaction products revealed that the cDNA encoding the larger species of Gbeta5 (Gbeta5L) was identical to the shorter form with the addition of 126 base pairs of 5' DNA sequence potentially encoding an in-frame 42-amino acid extension. Sequencing of mouse Gbeta5 genomic clones demonstrated that the 126-base pair of retinal-specific coding material is derived from a hitherto undetected 5' exon. During sucrose density gradient fractionation of bovine retinas, the 44-kDa Gbeta5L protein co-purified with rod outer segment membranes. Incubation of rod outer segment membranes with the nonhydrolyzable guanine nucleotide, GTPgammaS (guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate), which released the Gbeta subunit of transducin (Gbeta1), failed to remove Gbeta5L. The 39-kDa Gbeta5 protein displayed differential association with retinal and brain membranes. In the retina, Gbeta5 was present as a soluble protein and was undetectable in the membrane fraction, whereas in the brain approximately 70% of Gbeta5 was associated with cellular membranes. In transient COS-7 cell expression experiments, Gbeta5L formed functional Gbetagamma dimers and Galphabetagamma heterotrimers, and activated phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase Cbeta2 in a manner indistinguishable from the 39-kDa Gbeta5 protein. The cloning of the retinal-specific Gbeta5L cDNA suggests the existence of potentially novel G protein-mediated signaling cascades in photoreception.
<title>Model-based interactive path planning for surface following robot tasks</title> (1997)

Programming of frequently introduced new tasks becomes often a bottleneck for robotized surface treatment from the point of view of production performance. We have developed off-line programming tools relying on CAD product models, and, in more detail, on the surface and solid models of the products. Our system creates surface following paths over the parts or products automatically, or interactively guided by an operator. In automatic planning the paths are derived by decomposing the model into open surface segments over which the paths are created. In interactive planning a set of planar profiles are projected on the surfaces of the part model, composing the basis for the paths. We have implemented the planning system in WindowsNT<SUP>(TM</SUP>) environment and confirmed the feasibility of the planning results for some demonstration products with tests in an IRB 1400 robot system.
A prospective diffusion tensor imaging study in mild traumatic brain injury (2010)

Current findings of white matter abnormalities suggest that cytotoxic edema may be present during the semi-acute phase of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Initial mechanical damage to axons disrupts ionic homeostasis and the ratio of intracellular and extracellular water, primarily affecting diffusion perpendicular to axons. Diffusion tensor imaging measurement may have utility for objectively classifying mTBI, and may serve as a potential biomarker of recovery.
