VIATRA - visual automated transformations for formal verification and validation of UML models (2002)

The VIATRA (visual automated model transformations) framework is the core of a transformation-based verification and validation environment for improving the quality of systems designed using the Unified Modeling Language by automatically checking consistency, completeness, and dependability requirements. In the current paper, we present an overview of (i) the major design goals and decisions, (ii) the underlying formal methodology based on metamodeling and graph transformation, (iii) the software architecture based upon the XMI standard, and (iv) several benchmark applications of the VIATRA framework.
Positioning of Positively Charged Residues in the V3 Loop Correlates with HIV Type 1 Syncytium-Inducing Phenotype (1996)

Although the V3 loop of the envelope glycoprotein (gp120) plays a role in determining the phenotype, pathogenesis, and tropism of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), there has not been any consistent correlation between structure and phenotype. Theoretically determined structures of the V3 loop of gp120, from 20 different viral strains, 10 syncytium-inducing (SI) and 10 non-syncytium-inducing (NSI) phenotype, revealed that all V3 loops from SI phenotypic strains had at least two positively charged residues in close proximity, on the same face of the loop. All of the SI phenotypic V3 loop structures were capable of forming strong divalent electrostatic interactions with disulfated sugars. The ability to form this interaction may be a determinant of the phenotype, tropism, and pathogenicity of HIV-1 viral strains. This structural motif was absent in all V3 loops from viral strains with the NSI phenotype.
Combined random number generators: A review (2011)

This article summarizes the current state-of-the-art on combined random number generators (CRNGs). The main goal is to learn the development of CRNGs and summarize the knowledge we have learnt from the Random Number Generation class. It recalls the basic ideas, discusses various popular classes of random number generators, and provides details of several well known combined random number generators, including Wichmann and Hill's combined Linear Congruential Generators, L' Ecuyer's combined Linear Congruential Generators(LCGs) and Multiple Recursive Generators(MRGs), a refinement version of L' Ecuyer's combined MRGs presented by Tang which lies on the Chinese remainder theorem, and twisting and combing method presented by Deng and Guo, etc., further with their recommended implementations.

Masking of foveal and parafoveal vision during eye fixations in reading. (1981)

A window or visual mask as moved across text in synchrony with the reader's eye movements. The size of the window or mask was varied so that either information in foveal or parafoveal vision was masked on each fixation. In another experiment, the onset of the mask was delayed for a certain amount of time following the end of the saccade. The results of the experiments point out the relative importance of foveal and parafoveal vision for reading and further indicate that most of the visual information necessary for reading can be acquired during the first 50 msec that information is available during an eye fixation.
Towards Faster and Safer Flight Flutter Testing (2003)

The current state of the art of flight flutter testing is reviewed, and areas where this part of the certification procedure could be improved are discussed. It is argued that the key towards speeding up the flight flutter test procedure, and also to reduce costs, is to reduce the number of flight test points that are required as part of the test clearance programme. To achieve this aim, the entire modelling and testing procedure needs to be improved, particularly with respect to non-linearities. Non-linear aeroelastic phenomena will then be able to be predicted more accurately. Current work in a number of relevant technologies is considered in relation to flight flutter testing. Suggestions are made as to how these aspects could be improved in order to speed up and reduce the cost of flight flutter testing, while maintaining, if not improving, the levels of safety.
<title>Application of the mini AERCam free flyer for orbital inspection</title> (2004)

The Engineering Directorate of NASA Johnson Space Center has developed a nanosatellite-class free-flyer intended for future external inspection and remote viewing of human spacecraft. The Miniature Autonomous Extravehicular Robotic Camera (Mini AERCam) technology demonstration unit has been integrated into the approximate form and function of a flight system. The spherical Mini AERCam free flyer is 7.5 inches in diameter and weighs approximately 10 pounds, yet it incorporates significant additional capabilities compared to the 35 pound, 14 inch AERCam Sprint that flew as a Shuttle flight experiment in 1997. Mini AERCam hosts a full suite of miniaturized avionics, instrumentation, communications, navigation, imaging, power, and propulsion subsystems, including two digital video cameras and a high resolution still image camera. The vehicle is designed for either remotely piloted operations or supervised autonomous operations including automatic stationkeeping and point-to-point maneuvering. Free-flyer testing has been conducted on an air-bearing table and in a six degree-of-freedom closed-loop orbital simulation. This paper describes recent enhancements to the Mini AERCam system aimed at providing a more autonomous system for space inspection, including docking mechanisms and on-board docking navigation for autonomous deployment and retrieval of the free flyer.
Spatial-Aware Hierarchical Collaborative Deep Learning for POI Recommendation (2017)

Point-of-interest (POI) recommendation has become an important way to help people discover attractive and interesting places, especially when they travel out of town. However, the extreme sparsity of user-POI matrix and cold-start issues severely hinder the performance of collaborative filtering-based methods. Moreover, user preferences may vary dramatically with respect to the geographical regions due to different urban compositions and cultures. To address these challenges, we stand on recent advances in deep learning and propose a Spatial-Aware Hierarchical Collaborative Deep Learning model (SH-CDL). The model jointly performs deep representation learning for POIs from heterogeneous features and hierarchically additive representation learning for spatial-aware personal preferences. To combat data sparsity in spatial-aware user preference modeling, both the collective preferences of the public in a given target region and the personal preferences of the user in adjacent regions are exploited in the form of social regularization and spatial smoothing. To deal with the multimodal heterogeneous features of the POIs, we introduce a late feature fusion strategy into our SH-CDL model. The extensive experimental analysis shows that our proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art recommendation models, especially in out-of-town and cold-start recommendation scenarios.
A design framework for asynchronous/synchronous circuits based on CHP to HDL translation (2003)

An open design framework, which allows mixing asynchronous and synchronous circuit styles, is presented. It is based on the development of a tool called "CHP/sub 2/VHDL" which automatically translates CSP-like specifications (Communicating Sequential Processes) into VHDL programs. This work follows two main motivations: (i) to provide the asynchronous circuit designers with a powerful execution/simulation framework mixing high-level CSP descriptions, HDL programs and gate level descriptions, (ii) to give to synchronous designers familiar with existing HDL-based top-down design flows, the opportunity to include clockless circuits in their designs. An extension of the CHP language proposed by A.J. Martin (1990) is presented and its simulation-oriented features are discussed. The "CHP/sub 2/VHDL" translator and its software environment are then described. Finally, a significant design experiment is considered to illustrate the efficiency of the design framework.
Intratumoral Spatial Distribution of Hypoxia and Angiogenesis Assessed by <sup>18</sup>F-FAZA and <sup>125</sup>I-Gluco-RGD Autoradiography (2008)

The study revealed a substantial spatial discordance of the 18F-FAZA and 125I-Gluco-RGD tumor distribution suggesting that hypoxia and angiogenesis are not necessarily spatially linked in malignancies. These results may prove essential in developing advanced targeted systemic chemotherapeutic approaches (such as combinations of hypoxia-activated cytotoxins and antiangiogenic drugs) for hypoxic tumors.
Scalable RF MIS varactor model (2001)

A scalable varactor model based on the equations in the BSIM3v3 model (Berkeley short-channel IGFET model) is presented to model the behaviour of a silicon-based metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) varactor with different device geometries and bias conditions at different operation frequencies. The root mean square (RMS) errors of the s-parameters between the measured and simulated data are less than 3%. The scalable model provides satisfactory performance prediction for realising silicon radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs).
Proteomic analysis and molecular characterization of tissue ferritin light chain in hepatocellular carcinoma (2002)

To investigate a molecular basis for iron depletion in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 19 cases of HCC were analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). Results were compared with those of paired adjacent nontumorous liver tissues. Comparative analysis of the respective spot patterns in 2DE showed that tissue ferritin light chain (T-FLC), an iron-storage protein, was either severely suppressed or reduced to undetectable levels in HCC, which was further supported by Western blot and immunohistochemical analysis. In contrast, transferrin receptor (TfR) was shown to be overexpressed in the same HCC samples. Interestingly, the relative levels of messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of T-FLC in HCC, which were measured by a real-time quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR), exhibited almost the same levels as those in normal tissues, suggesting that the translational or posttranslational modification of T-FLC may be the cause of T-FLC suppression in HCC. Furthermore, with PCR-based loss of heterozygosity analysis, only 1 of 19 HCCs showed chromosomal deletions at 19q13.3-q13.4 where T-FLC is located, indicating that the suppression of T-FLC is unlikely due to structural genomic changes with HCC. In conclusion, both proteomic and genomic evidence support not only a basis for the suppression of T-FLC in HCC but also provide a new clue to the unresolved question of iron depletion during hepatocarcinogenesis.
Soft-decision Reed-Solomon decoding on partial response channels (2004)

We compare the performance of list-type soft-decision Reed-Solomon (RS) decoding algorithms to that of classical hard-decision RS decoding on partial response (PR) channels. The two soft-decision RS decoding approaches that we consider, the list-GMD and the Koetter-Vardy (see Proc. IEEE Int. Symp. Information Theory, (Sorrento, Italy), IEEE, June 2000) algorithm, are both based on Sudan's (1997) (polynomial) interpolation approach to polynomial-time list-decoding. The soft-decision RS decoders take as input symbol-based reliabilities which can be provided by a symbol-based BCJR algorithm. The symbol-based BCJR algorithm is an extension of the original BCJR algorithm and calculates the a posteriori probability (APP) of a block of l-bits. The complexity of the algorithm can be reduced when applied to a PR channel. We present a hybrid Viterbi-BCJR approach that can be used when only the reliability of the most-likely symbol is desired. The hybrid approach calculates the APP of the most reliable symbol without the need to run the complete forward and backward algorithm. We demonstrate through simulations that soft-decision RS decoding will lead to a lower probability of decoding error. Moreover, we show that using the symbol-based APPs will yield a lower symbol error rate (SER) than using the measures obtained by multiplying the bit reliabilities.
Nuclear-Polyhedrosis Viruses in Control of Corn Ear worm and Fall Army worm in Sweet Corn12 (1966)

A nuclear-polyhedrosis virus of the corn ear worm, Heliothis zea (Boddie), and one of the fall army worm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), and DDT were applied to sweet corn in field tests in 1963 and 1964. At concentrations of 100 to 250 larval equivalents per acre, ear worm control with the Heliothis virus was comparable to that of 2 pounds of DDT per acre. Combinations of the Heliothis and the Spodoptera viruses were as effective as DDT.

Inhibitory Effect of Pseudo-Aminosugars on Oligosaccharide Glucosidases I and II and on Lysosomal α-Glucosidase from Rat Liver (1990)

We examined the inhibitory effect of three pseudo-aminosugars (validamine, valienamine, and valiolamine), which were isolated from the broth of Streptomyces hygroscopicus, on the oligosaccharide-processing glucosidases I and II involved in glycoprotein biosynthesis in rat liver. Both glucosidases I and II were inhibited to the same extent by the pseudoaminosugars, and valiolamine had a more potent inhibitory activity than validamine or valienamine. A 50% inhibition of valiolamine was observed at 12 microM for glucosidase I and glucosidase II activities acting respectively on the substrates Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 and p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside. Further, in order to investigate further the ability of valiolamine to inhibit glucosidase I, reaction products were analyzed by gel filtration on a Bio-Gel P-4 column. We also compared the inhibitory action of these pseudo-aminosugars on the acid alpha-glucosidase of rat liver lysosomes. They competitively inhibited the hydrolysis of both substrates, maltose and glycogen. Valiolamine again had a more potent lysosomal alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity than the other two. The Ki values of valiolamine for the hydrolysis of maltose and glycogen were 8.1 and 11 microM, respectively. Valiolamine is a particularly effective inhibitor of oligosaccharide glucosidases I and II and of lysosomal alpha-glucosidase. Hence valiolamine might be useful as a research tool in investigations of carbohydrate metabolism.
RGB-NIR multispectral camera (2014)

A multispectral imaging technique with a new CMOS camera is proposed. With a four channel Bayer patterns, the camera can acquire four spectral images simultaneously. We have developed a color correction process to obtain accurate color information, and we have also demonstrated its applications on portrait enhancement, shadow removal, and vein enhancement.
Amino acid sequence of the diazooxonorleucine binding site of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas 7 A glutaminase-asparaginase enzymes (1978)

Acinetobactor glutaminase-asparaginase was treated with [6-14C]diazo-5-oxonorleucine, reduced with sodium borohydride, and cleaved with cyanogen bromide. Radioactivity was present only in a 96-residue-N-terminal peptide which eluted as the second peptide peak on Sephadex G-50. Radioactivity was released with the threonine in position 12 during automatic sequencing of this peptide. The amino acid sequence of a 60-residue tn-terminal segment and a 16-residue C-terminal segment of this peptide was determined. Pseudomonas 7 A glutaminase-asparaginase was treated with [6-14C]diazo-5-oxonorleucine and reduced with sodium borohydride. Radioactivity was released with the threonine in residue 20 during automatic sequencing of the whole enzyme. Analysis of 26 N-terminal residues showed that an 8-residue segment containing the radioactive threonine was identical with that in Acinetobacter glutaminase-asparaginase and in Escherichia coli asparaginase. Additional identical residues were noted in the N-terminal regions of these enzymes.
Vibrio parahaemolyticus Effector Proteins Suppress Inflammasome Activation by Interfering with Host Autophagy Signaling (2013)

Bacterial pathogens utilize pore-forming toxins or sophisticated secretion systems to establish infection in hosts. Recognition of these toxins or secretion system by nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain leucine-rich repeat proteins (NLRs) triggers the assembly of inflammasomes, the multiprotein complexes necessary for caspase-1 activation and the maturation of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β or IL-18. Here we demonstrate that both the NLRP3 and NLRC4 inflammasomes are activated by thermostable direct hemolysins (TDHs) and type III secretion system 1 (T3SS1) in response to V. parahaemolyticus infection. Furthermore, we identify T3SS1 secreted effector proteins, VopQ and VopS, which induce autophagy and the inactivation of Cdc42, respectively, to prevent mainly NLRC4 inflammasome activation. VopQ and VopS interfere with the assembly of specks in infected macrophages. These data suggest that bacterial effectors interfere with inflammasome activation and contribute to bacterial evasion from the host inflammatory responses.
Evaluation of Anemia Management by Algorithms in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Who Are Not Receiving Dialysis (2011)

The nurse-driven anemia-management protocol was non-inferior to dosing by nephrologists in terms of managing hemoglobin levels. It would be reasonable to use an anemia-management protocol for patients with chronic kidney disease who are not receiving dialysis.
