Zero and pole distribution of diagonal Padé approximants to the exponential function (1997)

The polynomials P n and Qm having degrees n and m respectively, with P n monic, that solve the approximation problem P n (z)e \\Gammaz +Qm (z) = O \\Gamma z n+m+1 \\Delta will be investigated for their asymptotic behaviour, in particular in connection with the distribution of their zeros. The symbol O means that the left-hand side should vanish at the origin at least to the order n+m+1. This problem is discussed in great detail in a series of papers by Saff and Varga. In the present paper we show how their results can be obtained by using uniform expansions of integrals in which Airy functions are the main approximants. We shall focus on the important diagonal case when n = m and the polynomials P n and Q n , as well as the remainder E n;n (z) = P n (z)e \\Gamma z +Q n (z) can be expressed in terms of Hankel and Bessel functions. The approximate location of the zeros of P n ; Q n and E n;n are given in terms of the known zeros of certain Airy functions. An application is given in which the asymptotic information on the zeros is used to obtain an estimate in an approximation of the unit block function by means of the polynomials P n ; Q n .
Decreased incorporation of 14C-glucosamine relative to 3H-N-acetyl glucosamine in the intestinal mucosa of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. (1983)

The synthesis of glycoproteins was investigated in intestinal mucosa from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and from those with various other conditions. The incorporation into acid-insoluble macromolecules of the amino sugar glucosamine, the first and committed metabolite in the biosynthetic sequence, and its immediate derivative, N-acetyl glucosamine was determined. Tissue was incubated with 1-2 nmol 14C-glucosamine and 3H-N-acetyl glucosamine and the simultaneous incorporation of both isotopes was measured. Bowel tissue from areas microscopically uninvolved in active disease process was examined. Values for the incorporation of both substrates into acid-soluble constituents were similar for both IBD and non-IBD groups, as was also the incorporation of 3H into acid-insoluble constituents. The incorporation of 14C, however, when expressed relative to that of 3H in each individual patient, i.e., 14C/3H, was distinctly different in IBD cases. In 26 non-IBD samples this ratio ranged from 0.04-0.26 with a mean of 0.097 +/- 0.009. In nine cases of Crohn's disease values ranged from 0.013-0.06 with a mean of 0.039 +/- 0.011 (p less than 0.01); in nine cases of ulcerative colitis values were 0.007-0.06 with a mean of 0.031 +/- 0.006 (p less than 0.01). It is concluded that the step involving the N-acetylation of the amino sugar is relatively deficient in patients with IBD and this could reduce the synthesis of the glycoprotein cover which protects the mucosa from damage by bowel contents.
The basic object system (1996)

BOS is a prototype-based, object-oriented toolkit aimed at better supporting evolutionary software development. BOS attempts to support a spectrum of activities in one environment---ranging from rapid prototyping to code hardening. Features enabling rapid prototyping include a prototype-based object model, an interpreted language, run-time argument constraints, position and keyword arguments, and a user interface toolkit. BOS also provides features for code hardening such as multi-methods, multiple inheritance, external code wrapping mechanisms, and interfaces to other packages such as database management systems. BOS thus enables the end-to-end programming of software in an integrated and unified environment. BOS has been used to develop several full-size applications which have been evaluated and delivered externally.
A hybrid approach to bimodal speech recognition (2002)

We explore multimodal recognition by combining visual lipreading with acoustic speech recognition. We show that combining visual and acoustic speech information improves the recognition performance significantly, especially in noisy environments. This is achieved with a hybrid speech recognition architecture, consisting of a new visual learning and tracking mechanism, a channel robust acoustic front end, a connectionist phone classifier, and a HMM based sentence classifier. Our focus in this paper is on the visual subsystem based on "surface-learning" and active vision models. Our bimodal hybrid speech recognition system has already been applied to a multi-speaker spelling task, and work is in progress to apply it to a speaker independent spontaneous speech task, the "Berkeley Restaurant Project (BeRP)".< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Design and implementation of TCP and SCTP connection migration function for an IP high availability framework (2007)

This thesis explains how to create a software for IP fail-over which also supports migration of TCP and SCTP states. Initially existing solutions for TCP-state transfer were studied to see if they could be built on but after the investigation was done we decided to design and develop an entirely new implementation. A basic design was created and TCP together with SCTP was studied to find which state-information that needed to be shared between the nodes and also which header-data that was needed to be changed after a connection migration. The final design is a daemon which runs on two or more server nodes. The daemon listens to two separate IP-numbers, one service-ip and one for being able to hand-over connections to the other node when doing a switch-over. OpenAIS is used to provide heartbeat monitoring and sharing of state-information. An application API was also created so a service-application can get information if a new socket has been moved, if a switch-over is going to happen and to acknowledge a move and send state-specific data to the standby node. When a switch-over is made, all new connections will directly be passed on to the standby node and then all service-applications are notified. When the service-applications are ready to transfer the state, they send an acknowledgement back and then all packets for that connection will be redirected to the new server-node. When all connections have been moved the service-ip is moved to the standby node. The main difference between this work and previous published solutions is that it supports SCTP-state transfers and that it's written in user-space and therefore portable between different operating systems.

Identification of Fissionable Materials Using the Tagged Neutron Technique (2009)

This summary describes experiments to detect and identify fissionable materials using the tagged neutron technique. The objective of this work is to enhance homeland security capability to find fissionable material that may be smuggled inside shipping boxes, containers, or vehicles. The technique distinguishes depleted uranium from lead, steel, and tungsten. Future work involves optimizing the technique to increase the count rate by many orders of magnitude and to build in the additional capability to image hidden fissionable materials. The tagged neutron approach is very different to other techniques based on neutron die-away or photo-fission. This work builds on the development of the Associated Particle Imaging (API) technique at the Special Technologies Laboratory (STL) [1]. Similar investigations have been performed by teams at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the Khlopin Radium Institute in Russia, and by the EURITRACK collaboration in the European Union [2,3,4].
Combining Interactive Exploration and Optimization for Assembly Design (1998)

This paper presents an integrated framework for conceptual assembly design. Because the complexity of assembly design leads to extremely large design spaces, adequate support of design space exploration is a key issue that must be addressed. CAMF allows the designer to manage the overall design process and explore the design space through explicit representation of design stages and their relationships (history), assembly design constraints, and rationale. The designer is free to use both bottom-up or top-down approaches to explore different assembly configurations. Exploration of the design space is further enabled by incorporating a simulated annealing-based refinement tool that allows the designer to rapidly complete partial designs, refine complete designs, and generate multiple design alternatives.

The Schottky barrier height of intimate Cu/GaAs (110), Ag/GaAs (110), and Fe/GaAs (100) has been measured as a function of hydrostatic pressure. The pressure dependence of the Cu and $\mathrm{Ag}/n\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{GaAs}$ barrier heights of $97\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}4\mathrm{m}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}/\mathrm{G}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}$ fall within the uncertainty of the pressure dependence of the ${\mathrm{As}}_{\mathrm{Ga}}$ defect and track the predicted value of ${\mathrm{As}}_{\mathrm{Ga}}$-rich interfaces. In contrast, the pressure dependence of the $\mathrm{Fe}/n\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{GaAs}(100)$ Schottky barrier height of $109\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}7\mathrm{m}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}/\mathrm{G}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}$ does not fall within experimental error of these values and falls at nearly the predicted dependence of defect-free interfaces.
Interferon: a cytotoxic T lymphocyte differentiation signal (1986)

Human T cell clones which were able to proliferate in response to specific stimuli but could not kill even in the presence of lectins were found to acquire the specific lytic function when interferon alpha or gamma was added on day 1 of the 7-day restimulation culture. These results demonstrate that interferon may act as a cytotoxic T lymphocyte differentiation signal. This signal can be blocked by the monoclonal antibody LeoA1 which recognizes a 70-kDa cell surface structure, involved in cytotoxic T lymphocyte differentiation.

We present the circuit with which we are characterize the photoelements, and we present the charge transfer study circuit.
Present and future control of cryptosporidiosis in humans and animals (2004)

Although water treatment processes to remove Cryptosporidium are improving and detection methods for identifying the parasite in water are becoming more sensitive, outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis continue in the human population. Animals, especially dairy calves, often become infected as C. parvum oocysts are present in high numbers, remain viable for long periods of time after excretion and no disinfectants, prophylactic or therapeutic reagents exist. Vaccination against C. parvum is being attempted in ruminants for the purpose of generating hyperimmune colostrum containing antibodies that may be effective in passive immunotherapy against cryptosporidiosis in the young. A number of recombinant C. parvum surface or internal antigens have been expressed by DNA-cloning technology. Immune colostrum specific for several recombinant C. parvum proteins have demonstrated efficacy in murine and ruminant models against cryptosporidiosis. The P23 and CP15 antigens appear to be the most promising candidates for vaccine development. Recent studies have demonstrated efficacy of the drug nitazoxanide against C. parvum infection in humans. In the near future, control of this parasitic disease in humans and animals will rely on a combination of passive immunotherapy and selective drug treatment.
A coordinated approach to partitioning and test pattern generation for pseudoexhaustive testing (1989)

In this work, we propose a circuit partitioning and test pattern generation algorithm for built-in pseudoexhaustive self-testing of VLSI circuits. The circuit partitioning process is to partition a given circuit into a set of subcircuits such that pseudoexhaustive self-testing will be possible, while the test pattern generation process is to generate the pseudoexhaustive test patterns for each subcircuit using a linear feedback shift register (LFSR). Both problems are considered and solved in the same phase and lead to an efficient and well-coordinated solution. Experiments using computer simulation have been conducted. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is very good, especially for circuits that are highly locally connected.
Continuous Cultures of Insect Cell Lines in Media Free of Sera (1982)

The following insect cell lines could be cultured continuously in the serum-free media; NIAS-PX-58, NIAS-MB-32, NIAS-MaBr-85, NIAS-AeA1-2, NIAS-LeSe-11 and NIH-SaPe-4. These cells could also grow in the media apparently lacking cholesterol. The cells which had been cultured in the serum-free medium, were found to be intolerable to low and ultralow temperature storage.
Multi-Dimensional Family Treatment of Agoraphobia (1992)

The literature on individual and family treatment of agoraphobia is briefly reviewed, whereupon a multidimensional treatment model is presented which integrates interactional and individual interventions. The treatments of five agoraphobics are described and the interventions are analyzed with respect to the following dimensions: (a) Target of treatment (intrapschic versus interactional); (b) Functionality (whether the agoraphobic symptoms protect others in the family and/or have a function in maintaining the equilibrium in the family; (c) Time (interventions focused at traumaic experiences in the past versus interventions aimed at changing the present situation); and (d) Physiological versus psychological. In each case, interventions aimed at the intrapsychic process seemed to be necessary, but in most of the cases this was found to be insufficient to induce clinically relevant improvement. Special attention is given to the timing of interventions. A research design is proposed to test the effectiveness of the suggested multidimensional treatment model for agoraphobia in comparison to the effectiveness of the traditional exposure programs.
EGF induces coalescence of different lipid rafts (2008)

The suggestion that microdomains may function as signaling platforms arose from the presence of growth factor receptors, such as the EGFR, in biochemically isolated lipid raft fractions. To investigate the role of EGFR activation in the organization of lipid rafts we have performed FLIM analyses using putative lipid raft markers such as ganglioside GM1 and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored GFP (GPI-GFP). The EGFR was labeled using single domain antibodies from Llama glama that specifically bind the EGFR without stimulating its kinase activity. Our FLIM analyses demonstrate a cholesterol-independent colocalization of GM1 with EGFR, which was not observed for the transferrin receptor. By contrast, a cholesterol-dependent colocalization was observed for GM1 with GPI-GFP. In the resting state no colocalization was observed between EGFR and GPI-GFP, but stimulation of the cell with EGF resulted in the colocalization at the nanoscale level of EGFR and GPI-GFP. Moreover, EGF induced the enrichment of GPI-GFP in a detergent-free lipid raft fraction. Our results suggest that EGF induces the coalescence of the two types of GM1-containing microdomains that might lead to the formation of signaling platforms.
Defective g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> Prepared by the NaBH<sub>4</sub> Reduction for High-Performance H<sub>2</sub> Production (2018)

Defects play a significant part in promoting photocatalytic activity for H2 production. Various methods such as chemical reduction have been performed to metal oxide based photocatalysts. Herein, we present the NaBH4 reduction route to introduce the defects into the graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) to enhance photocatalytic activity. A new −C≡N group is observed in the FTIR spectra of treated g-C3N4 nanosheets indicating the presence of structural defects. At the same time, the B signal appears in the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, suggesting that B is doped in the g-C3N4 during the treatment. All these results manifested that multiple types of defects are introduced in the g-C3N4 during the NaBH4 treatment. The UV–vis spectra illustrate that the absorption band edge of g-C3N4 is extended from 420 to 450 nm after NaBH4 treatment. This demonstrates that the band gap of g-C3N4 turns narrow owing to the introduction of defects. Photocatalytic H2 production of defective g-C3N4 is ∼5-fold better than that of pristine g-C3N4. To understand the enhanced mechanism, the apparent quantum efficiency, photoluminescent spectra, transient photocurrent and electrochemical impedance spectra are investigated. The results show that the charge separation efficiency is greatly strengthened in the defective g-C3N4. Upon these findings, the enhancement of catalytic activity can be attributed to both the broad light adsorption range and highly efficient charge separation process.
Wireless distributed computing: a survey of research challenges (2012)

Recent advancements in radio technology provide great flexibility and enhanced capabilities in executing wireless services. One of these capabilities that can provide significant advantages over traditional approaches is the concept of collaborative computing in wireless networks. With collaborative radio nodes, multiple independent radio nodes operate together to form a wireless distributed computing (WDC) network with significantly increased performance, operating efficiency, and abilities over a single node. WDC exploits wireless connectivity to share processing- intensive tasks among multiple devices. The goals are to reduce per-node and network resource requirements, and enable complex applications not otherwise possible, e.g., image processing in a network of small form factor radio nodes. As discussed in this article, WDC research aims to quantify the benefits of distributed processing over local processing, extend traditional distributed computing (DC) approaches to allow operation in dynamic radio environments, and meet design and implementation challenges unique to WDC with the help of recently available enabling technologies, such as software radios and cognitive radios.
Laser-processed thin-film transistors fabricated from sputtered amorphous-silicon films (2000)

Low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been fabricated from sputtered silicon films and characterized as a function of as-deposited hydrogen (H) content and laser crystallization fluence. A general trend is observed where TFT performance improves as the H content is lowered. Devices made from -0% H sputtered films perform similar to those made from low-pressure chemical-vapor deposition processes (LPCVD), but are fabricated at a much lower processing temperature (300/spl deg/C). The best sputtered TFTs had mobilities of -200 cm2/Vs, and on/off current ratios of more that 10/sup 8/.
