Literature investigation of atractylodes macrocephala's lost and potential functional capacity. (2010)

To compare herbalogy literature through the ages, ancient prescription literature, modern national pharmacopoeia and modern Chinese materia medica, we can confirm that the core of the traditional functions about atractylodes macrocephala have been recorded in modern national pharmacopoeia and Chinese materia medica. But atractylodes macrocephala's effects in treating anemofrigid-damp arthralgia, vomit, abdominal crymodynia, hypochondnrium or abdominal mass, chills and fever, all anemo-illness, dead muscle, gastric heat, spasm, jaundice, violent pathogenic wind, headache, five kinds of strain and seven impairments, therm-disease, epidemic pathogenic factors from mountains, knob and boss, agerasia and so on, were not included nowadays. By analysing the syndrome of the compatibility in ancient prescriptions including atractylodes macrocephala, some functions can be extracted, such as eliminating fever, calming down wind and stopping spasm, stopping cough, stopping wheez, calming the nerves, stopping bleeding, alleviating pain, promoting the production of body fluid. Whether atractylodes macrocephala has those functions need to be confirmed through empirical study and clinical research.
Practical design and performance evaluation of completion detection circuits (2002)

To achieve the goal of designing high performance self-timed circuits, one of the key factors is to design a fast completion detection circuit, detecting the completion of the self-timed circuit. Some recent work proposed by Wuu and Yun on completion detection circuits is reviewed. A new design of high performance completion detection circuits for dual-rail self-timed circuits is presented. The results of our SPICE simulation show that our computation-completion detection circuit is more than 9 times faster than Wuu's and Yun's, and our reset-completion detection circuits is 2.7 times faster than Wuu's.
Towards a methanol economy based on homogeneous catalysis: methanol to H<sub>2</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> to methanol (2015)

The possibility to implement both the exhaustive dehydrogenation of aqueous methanol to hydrogen and CO2 and the reverse reaction, the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol and water, may pave the way to a methanol based economy as part of a promising renewable energy system. Recently, homogeneous catalytic systems have been reported which are able to promote either one or the other of the two reactions under mild conditions. Here, we review and discuss these developments.
Discrimination of Base Differences in Oligonucleotides Using Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy and Multivariate Analysis (2009)

Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform-infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was employed to interrogate a panel of simple oligonucleotides designed to contain various base differences; combined with subsequent multivariate analysis, we set out to determine whether the specificity of this approach would point to a novel means for mutation detection. Oligonucleotides were designed that were 15 bases in length and contained various combinations of purines (adenine, guanine) or pyrimidines (cytosine, thymine). These were applied to 1 cm x 1 cm low-E reflective glass slides, and triplicate samples were interrogated using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Per oligonucleotide sample, 10 independent spectral acquisitions were obtained. Prior to multivariate analysis, infrared spectra were baseline-corrected and vector normalized over the 1750-760 cm(-1) region specific to the chemical bonds of organic molecules. Spectral categories were then analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) followed by linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Scores plots revealed that PCA-LDA clearly segregated different oligonucleotide sequences, even in the presence of a single base difference. Loadings plots confirmed the chemical entities associated with distinguishing base differences. These results suggest that mid-IR spectroscopy might have future roles in interrogating polymorphic forms of a DNA template.

Robust Subspace Segmentation by Low-Rank Representation (2010)

We propose low-rank representation (LRR) to segment data drawn from a union of multiple linear (or affine) subspaces. Given a set of data vectors, LRR seeks the lowestrank representation among all the candidates that represent all vectors as the linear combination of the bases in a dictionary. Unlike the well-known sparse representation (SR), which computes the sparsest representation of each data vector individually, LRR aims at finding the lowest-rank representation of a collection of vectors jointly. LRR better captures the global structure of data, giving a more effective tool for robust subspace segmentation from corrupted data. Both theoretical and experimental results show that LRR is a promising tool for subspace segmentation. 1.
Report 2 : Analysis of Cutting Strain (1963)

To analyse cutting mechanics, a new geometrical model was assumed for the deformation of a chip, and called a "complex model of chip formation" in Report 1.This model has to be ensured by experiments whether it is useful for the practical cutting process or not. For this purpose the strain-circle technique was applied to analyse the strains of orthogonal machining.The strain-circles were stamped on the inner side of two laminate lead plates, and were deformed to ellipses with the progress of orthogonal machining, and secondly flow-deformations took place at the side of tool-chip contact by a frictional force.After stopping machining, the major axes and the minor axes of ellipses were measured by a tool microscope, and shear strains were calculated from the next equations when the strain-circles became ellipses.1+e1=√ γs2/4 +1+γs/2 =a/R1+e2_=√ γs2/4 +1-γs/2 =b/Rπa, b =πR2i.e.γs=e1-e2=1/R(a-b)=R/b-b/RThe strain-circle technique ensured that the orthogonal machining of two laminate plates could be treated approximately as a typical problem of plain-strain, and also that the complex model of chip formation was better for making out orthogonal machining mechanics than a simple model of chip formation.The experiments of the orthogonal machining with the strain-circle technique were performed at very low cutting speed of 50mm/min by a milling machine while the orthogonal machining of lead cylinders at the cutting speed of 4m/min by a lathe.The shear strain in both cases was very approximate, and it was found that the straincircle technique at very low cutting speed was useful to analyse the practical cutting mechanics.
Kinetic studies of human tyrosyl‐DNA phosphodiesterase, an enzyme in the topoisomerase I DNA repair pathway (2002)

Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (TDP) cleaves the phosphodiester bond linking the active site tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I with the 3' terminus of DNA in topoisomerase I-DNA complexes which accumulate during treatment of cancer with camptothecin. In yeast, TDP mutation confers a 1000-fold hypersensitivity to camptothecin in the presence of an additional mutation of RAD9 gene [Pouliot, J.J., Yao, K.C., Robertson, C.A. & Nash, H.A. (1999) Science 286, 552-555]. Based on the recently solved crystal structure, human TDP belongs to a distinct class within the phospholipase D superfamily in spite of very low sequence homology [Interthal, H., Pouliot, J.J. & Champoux, J.J. (2001) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 98, 12009-12014, and Davies, D.R., Interthal, H., Champoux, J.J. & Hol, W.G.J. (2002) Structure 10, 237-248]. To understand the enzymatic mechanism of this novel enzyme, and to facilitate inhibitor screening of human TDP, we have expressed and purified recombinant human TDP variants carrying deletions of 1-39 or 1-174 amino acids. Furthermore, a continuous colorimetric assay in a 96-well format was also developed using p-nitrophenyl-thymidine-3'-phosphate as substrate. This assay system is able to detect enzymatic activity at enzyme concentrations as low as 15 nm. Purified recombinant human TDPNDelta39 cleaved p-nitrophenyl-thymidine-3'-phosphate with Km and kcat values of 211.14 +/- 23.83 micro m and 8.82 +/- 0.57 per min in the presence of Mn2+.

Design of Highly Selective Gas Sensors via Physicochemical Modification of Oxide Nanowires: Overview (2016)

Strategies for the enhancement of gas sensing properties, and specifically the improvement of gas selectivity of metal oxide semiconductor nanowire (NW) networks grown by chemical vapor deposition and thermal evaporation, are reviewed. Highly crystalline NWs grown by vapor-phase routes have various advantages, and thus have been applied in the field of gas sensors over the years. In particular, <i>n</i>-type NWs such as SnO₂, ZnO, and In₂O₃ are widely studied because of their simple synthetic preparation and high gas response. However, due to their usually high responses to C₂H₅OH and NO₂, the selective detection of other harmful and toxic gases using oxide NWs remains a challenging issue. Various strategies-such as doping/loading of noble metals, decorating/doping of catalytic metal oxides, and the formation of core-shell structures-have been explored to enhance gas selectivity and sensitivity, and are discussed herein. Additional methods such as the transformation of <i>n</i>-type into <i>p</i>-type NWs and the formation of catalyst-doped hierarchical structures by branch growth have also proven to be promising for the enhancement of gas selectivity. Accordingly, the physicochemical modification of oxide NWs via various methods provides new strategies to achieve the selective detection of a specific gas, and after further investigations, this approach could pave a new way in the field of NW-based semiconductor-type gas sensors.
A method to improve dose gradient for robotic radiosurgery (2015)

For targets with substantial volume, collimators of relatively large size are usually selected to minimize the treatment time in robotic radiosurgery. Their large penumbrae may adversely affect the dose gradient around the target. In this study, we implement and evaluate an inner-shell planning method to increase the dose gradient and reduce dose to normal tissues. Ten patients previously treated with CyberKnife M6 system were randomly selected with the only criterion being that PTV be larger than 2 cm(3). A new plan was generated for each patient in which the PTV was split into two regions: a 5 mm inner shell and a core, and a 7.5 mm Iris collimator was exclusively applied to the shell, with other appropriate collimators applied to the core depending on its size. The optimization objective, functions, and constraints were the same as in the corresponding clinical plan. The results were analyzed for V12 Gy, V9 Gy, V5 Gy, and gradient index (GI). Volume reduction was found for the inner-shell method at all studied dose levels as compared to the clinical plans. The absolute dose-volume reduction ranged from 0.05 cm(3) to 18.5 cm(3) with a mean of 5.6 cm(3) for 12 Gy, from 0.2 cm(3) to 38.1 cm(3) with a mean of 9.8 cm(3) for 9 Gy, and from 1.5 cm(3) to 115.7 cm(3) with a mean of 24.8 cm(3) for 5 Gy, respectively. The GI reduction ranged from 3.2% to 23.6%, with a mean of 12.6%. Paired t-test for GI has a p-value of 0.0014. The range for treatment time increase is from -3 min to 20 min, with a mean of 7.0 min. We conclude that irradiating the PTV periphery exclusively with the 7.5 mm Iris collimator, rather than applying mixed collimators to the whole PTV, can substantially improve the dose gradient, while maintaining good coverage, conformity, and reasonable treatment time.
fMRI during affect discrimination in bipolar affective disorder (2000)

These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that in some patients with bipolar affective disorder, there may be a reduction of frontal cortical function which may be associated with affective as well as attentional processing deficits.
The Generalised Lau Effect (1990)

Abstract It has been shown that the process of coded imaging of incoherently illuminated extended objects by self-imaging structures (SIS) naturally leads to the formation of Lau-type fringes at finite conjugates. The object grating and the grating representing the SIS need not be of the same period. The generalised Lau fringes are obtained under a conjugate relation characteristic of the SIS imaging and a general matching condition involving the periods and frequencies of the two periodic structures. The classical Lau fringes and the so-called finite conjugate classical Lau fringes are formed under special imaging conditions. Useful applications have been mentioned.
Immune Responses to Lipoteichoic Acid: Comparison of Antibody Responses in Rabbits and Mice (1981)

Humoral immune responses to lipoteichoic acid (LTA) as a surface antigen of Lactobacillus fermentum were assessed in rabbits and mice. Intravenous injection of rabbits with whole bacteria was effective, over a wide range of doses (10(4) to 10(10) cells), in eliciting antibodies to LTA. In mice, significant levels of anti-LTA antibodies were induced only following intraperitoneal injection of 10(8) to 10(9) L. fermentum cells. Rabbit antibodies to LTA were predominantly of the IgM class and were specific for the polyglycerol phosphate and carbohydrate moieties of the LTA. In contrast, both IgM and IgG anti-LTA antibodies were produced in the mouse, and antibody specificity was restricted to the polyglycerol phosphate sequence.
The farm (2013)

Even though scripting languages like Pig allow for simpler coding, performing analytics over Big Data using Map-Reduce engines remains challenging. To further assist developers, and support novice users, we offer "The Farm", a catalog of scriptable services supporting creation, discovery, composition, and optimized execution. Each Pig script added to The Farm becomes an executable service, with inputs and outputs defined by relation schemas. Those services are discoverable using natural language search, and composable using a drag-and-drop interface. To support efficient execution, composed services are automatically merged to a single executable script, which can then be run by a growing selection of platform-specific optimizers and interpreters.
Robust Foreground and Abandonment Analysis for Large-Scale Abandoned Object Detection in Complex Surveillance Videos (2012)

We present a robust system for large-scale abandoned object detection (AOD) with low false positive rates and good detection accuracy under complex realistic scenarios. The robustness of our system is largely attributed to an approach we develop for foreground analysis, which can effectively differentiate foreground objects from background under challenging conditions such as lighting changes, low textureness and low contrast as well as cluttered background. This significantly eliminates false positives caused by lighting changes while retaining true drops better. We further perform abandonment analysis to reduce more false positives including those related to people, at a small cost of accuracy (≤ 2%). We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on two large data sets collected in various challenging scenes, providing detailed analysis of experiments.
Preparation and Complexation of a Novel Silsesquioxanyl Phosphine Ligand (2003)

The reaction of the monofunctional closo-silsesquioxane silanol derivative Cy7Si8O12OH (3 ,C y c-C6H11) with tris(dime- thylamino)phosphine afforded the novel silsesquioxanyl phosphine ligand Cy7Si8O12OP(NMe2)2 (4) in virtually quantitative yield. The complexes (Cy7Si8O12OP(NMe2)2)2PtCl2 (5) and (Cy7Si8O12OP- (NMe2)2)2Mo(CO)4 (6) were obtained in excellent yields upon treat- ment of 4 with (COD)PtCl2 (COD 1,5-cyclooctadiene) and
SuperLU_DIST (2003)

We present the main algorithmic features in the software package SuperLU_DIST, a distributed-memory sparse direct solver for large sets of linear equations. We give in detail our parallelization strategies, with a focus on scalability issues, and demonstrate the software's parallel performance and scalability on current machines. The solver is based on sparse Gaussian elimination, with an innovative static pivoting strategy proposed earlier by the authors. The main advantage of static pivoting over classical partial pivoting is that it permits a priori determination of data structures and communication patterns, which lets us exploit techniques used in parallel sparse Cholesky algorithms to better parallelize both LU decomposition and triangular solution on large-scale distributed machines.
Expression of histamine H4 receptor in human epidermal tissues and attenuation of experimental pruritus using H4 receptor antagonist (2009)

Many medicines exist which can cause pruritus (itching) as "serious adverse events." Many severe pruritic conditions respond poorly to histamine H1 receptor antagonists; there is no generally accepted antipruritic treatment. Recently described histamine H4 receptors are expressed in haematopoietic cells and have been linked to the pathology of allergy and asthma. We previously reported their expression in human dermal fibroblasts; in this study we have investigated H4 receptor expression in human epidermal tissue and found it to be greater in keratinocytes in the epidermal upper layer than in the lower layer. We have also investigated the effect of histamine H4 receptor antagonists on histamine H1 receptor antagonist-resistant pruritus using a mouse model. Scratching behavior was induced by histamine (300 nmol) or substance P (100 nmol) injected intradermally into the rostral part of the back of each mouse. Fexofenadine, a histamine H1 receptor antagonist, reduced scratching induced by histamine but not by substance P, whereas JNJ7777120, a histamine H4 receptor antagonist, significantly reduced both histamine- and substance P-induced scratching. These results suggest that H4 receptor antagonists may be useful for treatment of H1 receptor antagonist-resistant pruritus.
Crystallographic and magnetic properties of pseudobinary alloys based on cobalt-platinum (1975)

Crystallographic and magnetic properties of a range of pseudobinary (FeNi)Pt alloys based on the equiatomic binary alloy CoPt have been investigated and the results have been combined with those of previously reported investigations on (CoFe)Pt and (CoNi)Pt alloys. X-ray crystallographic investigations show that the alloys exhibit the disorder-order transformation found for CoPt. Measurements of Curie temperatures and magnetic hysteresis parameters show that substitutions for cobalt in the simple CoPt alloy adversely affect the magnetic hardness of the alloy.
Interacting with Projected Media on Deformable Surfaces (2007)

This paper presents a novel human-computer interface for projector/camera-based applications that uses a deformable interaction surface. We discuss its design and implementation within the context of a radically different approach for controlling home appliances by pressing virtual buttons that are projected on soft deformable surfaces such as a sofa pillow. Effective real-time computer vision algorithms for implementing pointing and selection action detection for such an interface are discussed. Experimental results highlight the parameters and factors that have significant effect on the overall performance of such an interface.
Acetaldehyde-modified hemoglobin as a marker of alcohol consumption: comparison of two new methods. (1992)

We examined the diagnostic value of acetaldehyde-hemoglobin adducts in the detection of heavy drinking and alcoholism. Acetaldehyde adducts from red cells were measured by new chromatographic and immunologic methods. The study population included 20 men with well-documented histories of chronic alcoholism, 18 men who were heavy drinkers, 22 male healthy control subjects, and 8 control subjects with liver disease that was not related to alcohol use. In addition, 20 healthy volunteers and 5 control subjects participated in the study to determine the effect of an acute dose of ethanol. The results that were obtained by the two new methods correlated significantly (r = 0.38, p = 0.002). With both methods, the concentrations of acetaldehyde-hemoglobin adducts were found to be significantly higher in red cells of heavy drinkers (p less than 0.001) and subjects with alcoholism (p less than 0.001) when compared with control subjects. Acetaldehyde-modified hemoglobins appear to have at least the same sensitivity (chromatographic determination = 50% and immunologic determination = 50%) to detect heavy drinking as the most widely accepted conventional biochemical markers of alcohol abuse, gamma-glutamyltransferase (39%) or mean corpuscular volume (17%). In a group of 20 healthy volunteers, acetaldehyde-hemoglobin adducts increased significantly even after a single high dose of ethanol (2 gm/kg), whereas there was no change in the conventional markers of alcohol consumption at the same time. Acetaldehyde-hemoglobin adducts assays should be useful for the detection of heavy drinking in clinical settings.
A multimodal adaptive dialogue manager for depressive and anxiety disorder screening (2015)

In this paper, we present an Adaptive Multimodal Dialogue System for Depressive and Anxiety Disorders Screening (DADS). The system interacts with the user through verbal and non-verbal communication to elicit the information needed to make referrals and recommendations for depressive and anxiety disorders while encouraging the user and keeping them calm. We designed the problem using interconnected Markov Decision Processes using sub-goals to deal with the large state space. We present the problem formulation and the experimental procedure for the training data collection and the system training following the methodology of Wizard-of-Oz experiments.
