The Effects of an Auditory Subliminal Message upon the Production of Images and Dreams (1986)

The purpose of this research was to investigate what effect an auditory subliminal message, produced by speeding up the rate at which it was recorded, would have upon the imagery and dreams of a group of normal subjects. The auditory subliminal message was produced by speeding up a message that was sung until it could not be consciously understood. This message was mixed with a normal music recording and played to nine subjects in the experimental group. Nine subjects in the control group heard the normal music recording without the subliminal message. Both groups were asked to produce a pretest drawing before the tapes were played, an imagery drawing immediately after the tapes were played, and a dream drawing of any dreams they might have that night. A statistical analysis was performed from data collected on blind ratings given to all the drawings by two art therapists. The results indicated a significant difference between the dream drawings and the imagery drawings of the experimental group and the control group. When the drawings were examined, the effect of the subliminal message could be seen. Based on the statistical data and certain drawings collected in this study, it would appear that the auditory subliminal message did have an effect upon the imagery and dreams of the subjects in the experimental group. The results of this study appear to indicate that the unconscious/preconscious mind is able to perceive a recorded verbal message that cannot be consciously understood at the high rate of speed at which it was recorded.
Theoretical active impurity levels of iron, chromium, and manganese for photorefractive effects in barium titanate (1988)

Using the self-consistent field multiple-scattering Xα method, we calculate and discuss the 3d energy levels, which are potentially photorefractively active for substitutional iron, chromium, and manganese ions in BaTiO3 relative to the valence band edge. Moreover, we examine the almost intrinsic defect formed by an oxygen vacancy associated with titanium.

Synthesis of Pyrolysis Products of Bisdehydrodihydroenmein. II. : Synthesis of (-)-6-Methyl-7-oxobicyclo [3. 2. 1] octane (1968)

For the purpose of establishing the absolute configuration of enmein (I) by chemical means, (-)-6-methyl-7-oxobicyclo [3. 2. 1] octane (VIII) was prepared by a sequence of reactions shown in Chart 3 and 5. The synthesized compound was found to be an enantiomer of the compound (XXXIII) obtained by pyrolysis of disdehydrodihydroenmein. Since the absolute configuration of VIII is deduced from that of the intermediate (XXIIIb), the absolute configuration of the pyrolysis product (XXXIII) has been clarified. The result thus obtained is in agreement with the absolute configuration of enmein proposed in in the previous paper.
Highly efficient near-infrared organic excimer electrophosphorescent diodes (2007)

The authors report the fabrication of very high efficiency near-infrared (NIR) organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on a series of terdentate cyclometallated phosphorescent Pt(II) complexes PtLCl as the emitting layer. The LEDs exhibit exclusive NIR excimeric phosphorescence peaking between 705 and 720nm for three different organic ligands (L). Due to the high excimer emission quantum yields of these Pt complexes and to confinement of the recombination zone within the emission layer, unusually high external quantum efficiencies from 9.8% to 10.7% photons/electron and a high forward light output exceeding 15mW∕cm2 were achieved.
Dihydrolipoamide Dehydrogenase Mutation Alters the NADH Sensitivity of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex of <i>Escherichia coli</i> K-12 (2008)

Under anaerobic growth conditions, an active pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) is expected to create a redox imbalance in wild-type Escherichia coli due to increased production of NADH (>2 NADH molecules/glucose molecule) that could lead to growth inhibition. However, the additional NADH produced by PDH can be used for conversion of acetyl coenzyme A into reduced fermentation products, like alcohols, during metabolic engineering of the bacterium. E. coli mutants that produced ethanol as the main fermentation product were recently isolated as derivatives of an ldhA pflB double mutant. In all six mutants tested, the mutation was in the lpd gene encoding dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (LPD), a component of PDH. Three of the LPD mutants carried an H322Y mutation (lpd102), while the other mutants carried an E354K mutation (lpd101). Genetic and physiological analysis revealed that the mutation in either allele supported anaerobic growth and homoethanol fermentation in an ldhA pflB double mutant. Enzyme kinetic studies revealed that the LPD(E354K) enzyme was significantly less sensitive to NADH inhibition than the native LPD. This reduced NADH sensitivity of the mutated LPD was translated into lower sensitivity of the appropriate PDH complex to NADH inhibition. The mutated forms of the PDH had a 10-fold-higher K(i) for NADH than the native PDH. The lower sensitivity of PDH to NADH inhibition apparently increased PDH activity in anaerobic E. coli cultures and created the new ethanologenic fermentation pathway in this bacterium. Analogous mutations in the LPD of other bacteria may also significantly influence the growth and physiology of the organisms in a similar fashion.
From Information to Interaction: in Pursuit of Task-centred Infornation Management (2007)

In this paper we describe two automatic inference mechanisms constructed around a personal ontology with the aim of providing human like assistance for form-filling. This is part of the wider vision of DELOS Task 4.8 Task-centered Information Management, which aims to create a more activity or task-focused interaction environment for users, taking their individual library of digital information and turning it into a resource for automated support. The two techniques described in this paper are (i) a spreading activation algorithm operating over the user's personal ontology which enables a form of temporal context or memory and (ii) a rule inference algorithm that takes examples of completed forms and infers how the fields map to generic subgaps of the ontology.
The pharmacy computer system at The Ohio State University hospitals. (1984)

The pharmacy computer system designed, developed, and implemented at The Ohio State University Hospitals is described. The computer system was developed to make more efficient use of hospital facilities and professional staff time. The pharmacy system operates on the mainframe hospital system using computer terminals with light-pen and keyboard access. Current online applications include order entry, patient profiles, pharmacokinetic calculations, and preparation of unit dose cart fill lists. Batch processing functions include drug-use review, drug-drug interactions, and financial management reports. Approximately 95% of unit dose orders and 20% of i.v. orders are conditionally entered by pharmacy technicians for subsequent verification by pharmacists. The system saves considerable staff time in the i.v. admixture and billing areas and has relieved pharmacists from performing many clerical and repetitive tasks. Disadvantages of the system include (1) its dependence on another department for patient admission, transfer, and discharge information and (2) delays in obtaining approval for program modifications and new applications. The advantages of the pharmacy computer system lie in its ability to access information from other computerized databases in the hospital. Future modifications and enhancements to the system are discussed.
2‐D gel electrophoresis‐based proteomic analysis reveals that ormeloxifen induces G0–G1 growth arrest and ERK‐mediated apoptosis in chronic myeloid leukemia cells K562 (2011)

Ormeloxifen is a nonsteroidal selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) and has been shown to possess anticancer activities in breast and uterine cancer. Here, we show that ormeloxifen induces apoptosis in dose-dependent manner in a variety of leukemia cells, more strikingly in K562. 2-DE-gel electrophoresis of K562 cells induced with ormeloxifen showed that 57 and 30% of proteins belong to apoptosis and cell-cycle pathways, respectively. Our data demonstrate that ormeloxifen-induced apoptosis in K562 cells involves activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) and subsequent cytochrome c release, leading to mitochondria-mediated caspase-3 activation. Ormeloxifen-induced apoptosis via ERK activation was drastically inhibited by prior treatment of K562 cells with ERK inhibitor PD98059. Ormeloxifen also inhibits proliferation of K562 cells by blocking them in G0-G1 phase by inhibiting c-myc promoter via ormeloxifen-induced MBP-1 (c-myc promoter-binding protein) and upregulation of p21 expression. We further show that ormeloxifen-induced apoptosis in K562 is translatable to mononuclear cells isolated from chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. Thus, ormeloxifen induces apoptosis in K562 cells via phosphorylation of ERK and arrests them in G0-G1 phase by reciprocal regulation of p21 and c-myc. Therefore, inclusion of ormeloxifen in the therapy of chronic myeloid leukemia can be of potential utility.
PDDS - Improving cloud data storage security using data partitioning technique (2013)

Cloud storage system enables storing of data in the cloud server efficiently and makes the user to work with the data without any trouble of the resources. In the existing system, the data are stored in the cloud using dynamic data operation with computation which makes the user need to make a copy for further updating and verification of the data loss. An efficient distributed storage auditing mechanism is planned which over comes the limitations in handling the data loss. In this paper the partitioning method is proposed for the data storage which avoids the local copy at the user side by using partitioning method. This method ensures high cloud storage integrity, enhanced error localization and easy identification of misbehaving server. To achieve this, remote data integrity checking concept is used to enhance the performance of cloud storage. In nature the data are dynamic in cloud; hence this work aims to store the data in reduced space with less time and computational cost.
SATELLITE IMAGE CLASSIFICATION OF BUILDING DAMAGES USING AIRBORNE AND SATELLITE IMAGE SAMPLES IN A DEEP LEARNING APPROACH (2018)

Abstract. The localization and detailed assessment of damaged buildings after a disastrous event is of utmost importance to guide response operations, recovery tasks or for insurance purposes. Several remote sensing platforms and sensors are currently used for the manual detection of building damages. However, there is an overall interest in the use of automated methods to perform this task, regardless of the used platform. Owing to its synoptic coverage and predictable availability, satellite imagery is currently used as input for the identification of building damages by the International Charter, as well as the Copernicus Emergency Management Service for the production of damage grading and reference maps. Recently proposed methods to perform image classification of building damages rely on convolutional neural networks (CNN). These are usually trained with only satellite image samples in a binary classification problem, however the number of samples derived from these images is often limited, affecting the quality of the classification results. The use of up/down-sampling image samples during the training of a CNN, has demonstrated to improve several image recognition tasks in remote sensing. However, it is currently unclear if this multi resolution information can also be captured from images with different spatial resolutions like satellite and airborne imagery (from both manned and unmanned platforms). In this paper, a CNN framework using residual connections and dilated convolutions is used considering both manned and unmanned aerial image samples to perform the satellite image classification of building damages. Three network configurations, trained with multi-resolution image samples are compared against two benchmark networks where only satellite image samples are used. Combining feature maps generated from airborne and satellite image samples, and refining these using only the satellite image samples, improved nearly 4 % the overall satellite image classification of building damages.
Pattern Reduction in Paper Cutting (2021)

A large part of the paper industry involves supplying customers with reels of specified width in specified quantities. These 'customer reels' must be cut from a set of wider 'jumbo reels' as economically as possible. The first priority is to satisfy the customer demands using as few jumbo reels as possible. This is an example of the well-known one-dimensional cutting stock problem, which can be solved by creating a series of patterns, each corresponding to a different set of reels that can be cut from a single jumbo. A secondary problem is to minimize the number of patterns needed in order to reduce frequency of cutting-knife resets. Existing methods account for 90% of cases. The problem is to provide methods for the remaining 10%. This is shown to be an NP-hard problem, and so efficient design heuristics are proposed and tested for reducing further the frequency of resets.
Distribution of Culex tarsalis larvae in a freshwater marsh in Orange County, California. (1990)

The distribution and abundance of mosquito larvae in a freshwater marsh were determined during a low water period in the late summer. Culex tarsalis larval abundance was significantly associated with the percent cover by Typha spp. root masses and Typha spp. stem density in 1-m2 quadrants. Larval mosquito abundance was not significantly related to bulrush (Scirpus californicus) stem density, position in the marsh (transect compass direction), position in the inundated vegetation on each transect or several physicochemical factors. As water levels decline seasonally, mosquito developmental sites in San Joaquin Marsh change from mats of decaying vegetation to cattail root masses.
Experimental study of a mechatronic system applied for subsea science instruments (2010)

Due to the shortage of current research methods to observe oceans in long term, real time, an innovative mechatronic system by using coaxial cable to connect a terrestrial shore station and a subsea science platform that can provide abundant power and broad bandwidth communication for subsea instruments, are developing. In this paper, an overview of this system was presented in detail from terrestrial facility to subsea infrastructure. And specially focus on introduction of constructing the platform consisted of a high direct current voltage to low levels power conversion sub-system and a control sub-system. Validation of this system was carried out in water pool involved in three subsea in-situ application instruments.
Mechanical properties and Raman spectra of tetrahedral amorphous carbon films with high sp<sup>3</sup> fraction deposited using a filtered cathodic arc (1997)

Abstract The mechanical and structural properties of the tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films deposited by the filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique on silicon at room temperature have been studied over the carbon ion energy range 15–200 eV. High (about 80% or higher) sp3 bond fractions were obtained for almost all ion energies investigated (E > 50 eV), with a maximum of about 87% at about 95 eV. The variations in the mechanical properties have been correlated to the sp3 fraction and show an almost linear dependence on the small variation in sp3 content. The maximum hardness, Young's modulus, stress critical load and minimum friction coefficient all coincide with the highest sp3 fraction as determined by electron-energy-loss spectroscopy. All films are atomically smooth. The Raman spectra of these films when fitted with a skewed Lorentzian, a parameter Q, which measures the degree of skewness, is noticeably dependent on films with sp2 content below 30% and can also be used to verify the ion energy corresponding to the maximum sp3 content. The change observed in the mechanical properties as well as the skewness parameter Q is attributed to a change in the local ordering of the sp2 bonded atoms in the ta-C sp3 matrix.
Skillful Climate Forecasts of the Tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean Using Model-Analogs (2018)

Abstract Seasonal forecasts made by coupled atmosphere–ocean general circulation models (CGCMs) undergo strong climate drift and initialization shock, driving the model state away from its long-term attractor. Here we explore initializing directly on a model’s own attractor, using an analog approach in which model states close to the observed initial state are drawn from a “library” obtained from prior uninitialized CGCM simulations. The subsequent evolution of those “model-analogs” yields a forecast ensemble, without additional model integration. This technique is applied to four of the eight CGCMs comprising the North American Multimodel Ensemble (NMME) by selecting from prior long control runs those model states whose monthly tropical Indo-Pacific SST and SSH anomalies best resemble the observations at initialization time. Hindcasts are then made for leads of 1–12 months during 1982–2015. Deterministic and probabilistic skill measures of these model-analog hindcast ensembles are comparable to those of the initialized NMME hindcast ensembles, for both the individual models and the multimodel ensemble. In the eastern equatorial Pacific, model-analog hindcast skill exceeds that of the NMME. Despite initializing with a relatively large ensemble spread, model-analogs also reproduce each CGCM’s perfect-model skill, consistent with a coarse-grained view of tropical Indo-Pacific predictability. This study suggests that with little additional effort, sufficiently realistic and long CGCM simulations provide the basis for skillful seasonal forecasts of tropical Indo-Pacific SST anomalies, even without sophisticated data assimilation or additional ensemble forecast integrations. The model-analog method could provide a baseline for forecast skill when developing future models and forecast systems.
Optimum Scheduling and Memory Management in Input Queued Switches With Finite Buffer Space (2004)

The goal of this paper is to design optimal scheduling and memory management so as to minimize packet loss in input queued switches with finite input buffers. The contribution is to obtain closed-form optimal strategies that minimize packet loss in 2/spl times/2 switches with equal arrival rates for all streams. For arbitrary arrival rates, the contribution is to identify certain characteristics of the optimal strategy, and use these characteristics to design a near-optimal heuristic. A lower bound for the cost associated with packet loss for N/spl times/N switches is obtained. This lower bound is used to design a heuristic which attains near-minimum packet loss in N/spl times/N switches with arbitrary N. These policies reduce packet loss by about 25% as compared to the optimal strategy for the infinite buffer case. The framework and the policies proposed here apply to buffer-constrained wireless networks as well.
Therapeutic Human Monoclonal Antibodies Against Cancer (2013)

There are over 30 monoclonal antibodies that are FDA approved for a variety of diseases ranging from malignancies to autoimmune diseases to macular degeneration. These antibodies include murine, fully humanized, and chimeric antibodies. There are a number of monoclonal antibodies used in the treatment of malignancies; in fact, three of the top five grossing antibodies (bevacizumab, trastuzumab, and rituximab) are used in oncology Scolnik (mAbs 1:179-184, 2009).
Modification of Activated Carbon Using Nitration Followed by Reduction for Carbon Dioxide Capture (2015)

Activated carbon ( AC ) samples were modified using nitration followed by reduction to enhance their CO 2 adsorption capacities. Besides characterization of the samples, investigation of CO 2 capture performance was conducted by CO 2 isothermal adsorption, temperature‐programmed ( TP ) CO 2 adsorption, cyclic CO 2 adsorption–desorption, and dynamic CO 2 adsorption tests. Almost all modified samples showed a rise in the amount of CO 2 adsorbed when the comparison is made in unit surface area. On the other hand, some of the samples displayed a capacity superior to that of the parent material when compared in mass unit, especially at elevated temperatures. Despite ~65% decrease in the surface area, TP‐CO 2 adsorption of the best samples exhibited increases of ~10 and 70% in CO 2 capture capacity at 30 and 100 °C, respectively.
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Shape Memory Polymer Composites (2000)

In this paper we present results on the deformation of carbon fiber reinforced shape memory polymer matrix composites for deployable space structure applications. The composites were processed using resin transfer molding or a pre-impregnated (pre-preg) laminate press, with both satin and plain weave fiber architectures. The polymer matrix glass transition temperature, T g , was approximately 95°C. Composite specimens were bent to specific radii at T = 120°C, and cooled while constrained to a temperature of 25°C, which left them frozen in the bent state. Heating the specimens above T g caused the composites to return to their original unbent shape with up to 95% recovery based on bend angle. The effect of constraint hold times up to 350 hours on the recoverability was found to be negligible. Microscopic investigations revealed that the dominant local deformation mode of the composites was buckling of the carbon fibers on the inner surface of the bend. Localized buckling out of the material plane lead to detrimental interfacial matrix failure while dispersed in-plane buckling was elastic and non-damaging. A clear path for tailoring the shape memory polymer composites to facilitate in-plane elastic buckling is presented and tested. The improved materials can bend to local radii of curvature, R, of 1.6 mm with full recoverability and negligible local damage.
Chemical analysis and electrophoresis systems integrated on glass and silicon chips (2003)

The feasibility of miniaturizing a chemical analysis system on a planar substrate has been demonstrated for a system utilizing electrokinetic phenomenon for sample separation and solvent pumping. Using micromachining techniques, a manifold of capillary channels has been fabricated in a planar glass substrate. Separation of components of a mixture using electrophoresis has been achieved within the channels using applied voltages of up to 10 kV. The separation efficiency was in agreement with theory, indicating no interactions between the analyte and the glass walls. Solvent flow could be directed along a specified capillary by application of appropriate voltages, so that valveless switching of fluid flow between capillaries could be achieved.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Gas purification: Fourth edition (1985)

This fourth edition is a substantial revision incorporating the significant advances in the field of gas purification and dehydration since 1979. It includes expanded coverage of widely used technologies, such as the alkanolamine processes for H/sub 2/S and CO/sub 2/ removal and lime/limestone-based processes for flue gas desulfurization. It also describes new processes that have attained commercial status, such as the use of sterically hindered amines for H/sub 2/S and CO/sub 2/ absorption, the Cosorb process for removing and recovering CO, and the membrane permeation process for a variety of gas separation operations. The book stresses the removal from gas streams of gas-phase impurities present in minor proportions rather than the removal of discrete solids.
