A Planning System Based on Markov Decision Processes to Guide People With Dementia Through Activities of Daily Living (2006)

Older adults with dementia often cannot remember how to complete activities of daily living and require a caregiver to aid them through the steps involved. The use of a computerized guidance system could potentially reduce the reliance on a caregiver. This paper examines the design and preliminary evaluation of a planning system that uses Markov decision processes (MDPs) to determine when and how to provide prompts to a user with dementia for guidance through the activity of handwashing. Results from the study suggest that MDPs can be applied effectively to this type of guidance problem. Considerations for the development of future guidance systems are presented.
Spurious resonance suppression in ZnO based thin-film baw resonators: FEM modeling and experiment (2006)

Spurious resonance suppression in ZnO based thin film BAW resonators by the boundary ring method of (1) is studied. Electrical responses of resonators with varying width of the boundary ring structure are measured. Very clean resonator response is reached with optimum dimensions. Emergence of the piston mode and simultaneous spurious resonance suppression is demonstrated by 2D FEM simulation with a model corresponding to the measured devices. Good correlation between measurement and simulation is found. I. INTRODUCTION Thin film bulk acoustic wave resonators and filters for the GHz range have been intensively developed during the last ca. 10 years due to great demand in the mobile communications industry. Main application of the thin film BAW devices is in the band pass filters of the antenna circuit of mobile phones. With the thin film BAW technology, low insertion loss, high power handling, steep pass band skirts and small footprint are sought together with low manufacturing cost. The BAW filters are also inherently better applicable for higher frequencies (> 2 GHz) than SAW filters due to the lack of critical dimensions. Also as BAW resonators do not rely on a special crystalline substrate, possibility to integrate them with silicon IC:s exists. In order to create high performance filters, the BAW resonators they consist of, must fulfill certain performance criteria. Most importantly the effective coupling coefficient K 2 determines the attainable bandwidth of the filter and the Q- values affect the insertion loss and pass band skirt steepness. In addition, the resonator should not have ripple in or near the inductive region of its electrical response. In a low insertion loss filter this is only attained by suppressing the spurious resonances in some manner.
Mechanics of drag reduction by shallow dimples in channel flow (2015)

Arrays of shallow dimples with depth to diameter ratios of 1.5% and 5% are studied in a turbulent channel flow at Reynolds numbers between 5000 and 35 000. Pressure measurements show that drag reduction of up to 3% is possible. The mechanism of skin friction drag reduction with dimples is the same as that observed for flat surfaces using active methods such as spanwise wall motions or transverse wall jets. The three dimensional dimples introduce streamwise vorticity into the flow which results in spanwise flow components near the wall. The result is that the normal energy cascade to the smaller scales is suppressed, which leads to a reduction in turbulent skin friction drag because of the stabilized flow. Increasing the dimple depth from 1.5% to 5% of its diameter increases the streamwise vorticity introduced, which leads to a greater reduction in skin friction. However, increasing the dimple depth also results in flow separation which increases form drag. The net effect to the total drag depends on the relative dominance between the drag reducing streamwise vorticity and the drag increasing flow separation region. As the Reynolds number increases, the region of flow separation can shrink and result in increasing drag reduction. By understanding the flow physics of drag reduction in dimples, there is opportunity to minimize the form drag by passive contouring of the dimples using non-spherical shapes to optimize the dimple performance.

Aromatic trifluoromethylation catalytic in copper (2009)

Cu(I)-diamine complexes were found to catalyse the trifluoromethylation of aryl iodides. In the presence of a small amount of CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), the cross-coupling reactions of iodoarenes with trifluoromethylsilanes proceeded smoothly to afford trifluoromethylated aromatics in good yields.
High temperature operation of long-wavelength infrared superlattice detector with supressed dark current (2009)

Superlattice (SL) photodetectors operating with a cutoff wavelength of λ = 10 µm are demonstrated to respond up to a temperature of T=140 K with a nonunity gain enabling a high responsivity of ℜ=25 A/W. The improvement in detector performance is achieved by the optimisation of SL heterodiode design in which suppression of dark current is realised without significant impact on the photocurrent.
Chemical Properties of Syringomycin and Syringotoxin: Toxigenic Peptides Produced by <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> (1977)

Syringomycin (SR) and syringotoxin (ST), wide spectrum antibiotics and phytotoxins isolated from ecotypic strains of Pseudomonas syringa , were purified to homogeneity and compared for their physicochemical properties. Acid hydrolysates of SR and ST were analysed for ninhydrin‐reactive components by paper chromatography and the Durrum single‐column method of amino acid analysis. Both active and base inactivated preparations of SR yielded substances tentatively identified as serine, phenylalanine, an unidentified basic amino acid, and arginine in a 2:1:2:1 mole ratio, respectively. Preparations of SR from ecotypic strains of P. syringae from pear, peach and millet hosts, had an identical amino acid composition which appeared to exclude a potential role of SR in the plant host specificity of P. syringae . ST isolated from a strain of P. syringae from a citrus host, contained substances tentatively identified as threonine, serine, glycine, ornithine, and the same unidentified basic amino acid found in SR in a 1:1:1:1:1 mole ratio. Although autoradiographs of paper chromatograms of acid hydrolysates of 14 C‐SR and various chromogenic reagents did not indicate the presence of substances other than amino acids, the nitrogen content of SR by combustion analyses was lower than expected which suggested the possible presence of another component.
Control of microcomedone formation throughout a maintenance treatment with adapalene gel, 0.1% (2007)

The application of adapalene gel, 0.1% monotherapy daily, or alternately every other day, significantly helps to control the microcomedone count during a 12-week maintenance treatment after a previous combination therapy with benzoyl peroxide in patients with mild to moderate acne.
The immunocytochemical detection of <i>Herpes simplex</i> virus in cervical smears—a valuable technique for routine use (1984)

Herpes simplex virus type 2 is demonstrated in routine cervical smears by immunocytochemistry. Optimum antibody dilution and suitable fixation were determined and immunostaining results were found to compare favourably with those obtained by screening Papanicolaou-stained smears or by virus culture methods (virus isolation). Results obtained for immunostaining of smears from 158 patients agreed with those of virus isolation in 47 of 50 cases where virus isolation was performed. It is suggested that this immunocytochemical technique is valuable in detection of Herpes simplex virus in cervical smears, offering an inexpensive and rapid laboratory diagnosis with advantage to both patient and clinician.
Plasma for cancer treatment (2015)

Plasma medicine is a relatively new field that grew from research in application of low-temperature (or cold) atmospheric plasmas in bioengineering. One of the most promising applications of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is cancer therapy. Convincing evidence of CAP selectivity towards the cancer cells has been accumulated. This review summarizes the state of the art of this emerging field, presenting various aspects of CAP application in cancer such as the role of reactive species (reactive oxygen and nitrogen), cell cycle modification, in vivo application, CAP interaction with cancer cells in conjunction with nanoparticles, and computational oncology applied to CAP.
Anti‐Kell in pregnancy (1991)

Summary. A review of data on haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) collected in Newcastle upon Tyne over 25 years revealed 194 pregnancies in which anti‐Kell was the only antibody detected. Sixteen affected babies were born. None was hydropic, three had very severe disease but all survived. There were also three stillbirths, none of which had post‐mortem appearances of HDN. The highest recorded anti‐Kell titres in individual patients ranged from 1/1 to 1/2048 and bore no relation to the severity of the disease. Of the eight pregnancies in which amniotic fluid examination predicted a high risk of stillbirth, half resulted in unaffected babies. We suggest that haemolytic disease caused by anti‐Kell is less severe than suggested by some workers. The use of guidelines developed from the study of Rhesus disease to determine the need for intervention in women with anti‐Kell may be inappropriate.
AMPHOTERIC BEHAVIOR OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS (1927)

Conductivities of sulfanilic acid, lysin, and mixtures of the two were made over a wide pH range, the pH being adjusted by means of phosphate buffers. The actual conductivities of the sulfanilic acid, the lysin, and the mixture were calculated. The difference between the conductivity of the mixture and the sum of the conductivities of the components alone passes through a maximum at a pH theoretically calculable as the isoelectric point of the system. Certain applications of the results are made to the explanation of the behavior of living tissues.

Multilocus DNA Sequence Comparisons Rapidly Identify Pathogenic Molds (2005)

The increasing incidence of opportunistic fungal infections necessitates rapid and accurate identification of the associated fungi to facilitate optimal patient treatment. Traditional phenotype-based identification methods utilized in clinical laboratories rely on the production and recognition of reproductive structures, making identification difficult or impossible when these structures are not observed. We hypothesized that DNA sequence analysis of multiple loci is useful for rapidly identifying medically important molds. Our study included the analysis of the D1/D2 hypervariable region of the 28S ribosomal gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions 1 and 2 of the rRNA operon. Two hundred one strains, including 143 clinical isolates and 58 reference and type strains, representing 43 recognized species and one possible new species, were examined. We generated a phenotypically validated database of 118 diagnostic alleles. DNA length polymorphisms detected among ITS1 and ITS2 PCR products can differentiate 20 of 33 species of molds tested, and ITS DNA sequence analysis permits identification of all species tested. For 42 of 44 species tested, conspecific strains displayed >99% sequence identity at ITS1 and ITS2; sequevars were detected in two species. For all 44 species, identifications by genotypic and traditional phenotypic methods were 100% concordant. Because dendrograms based on ITS sequence analysis are similar in topology to 28S-based trees, we conclude that ITS sequences provide phylogenetically valid information and can be utilized to identify clinically important molds. Additionally, this phenotypically validated database of ITS sequences will be useful for identifying new species of pathogenic molds.
Service Oriented Architecture Maturity Models - A guide to SOA adoption (2006)

To support the difficult process of SOA adoption, SOA maturity models are published. In this thesis a literature analysis introduces the area of SOA maturity models and highlights benefits and criticism. As a result, the combined SOA maturity model (CSOAMM), a model to facilitate the interpretation and comparison of SOA maturity models, is proposed. CSOAMM is a model with 10 levels that describes SOA maturity by combining level characteristics of two recently published maturity models: SIMM and SOAMM. CSOAMM was created by a comparative analysis in combination with a relational content analysis. The model can be used for collaboration between companies and points out that a common understanding of SOA adoption exists.

Intravitreal ranibizumab is a highly effective and safe therapy for improving vision and reducing vision loss in patients with neovascular AMD, ME from RVO, and DME. Patients generally require long-term treatment although some data show that frequency of treatment necessary to maintain visual outcomes decreases over time.
Electron Beam Recording For High Quality Hard Copy Output (1989)

Advances in electron beam recording technology have made possible high quality hard copy output at throughput rates which are an order of magnitude or more faster than any other recording technique. The greater dynamic range and consistant excellent quality of the Electron Beam Recorder (EBR) output has provided very cost effective production of Aerial and Satellite Imagery, Geophysical Seismic Data, Graphic Arts Publishing, Cartographic products, Computer Output Micrographics, Movies, and Computer Assisted Retrieval Data Storage Output. The electron beam technology is described with the advantages provided for these various applications.
A method for remote measurements of velocity for vibration analysis (2003)

This paper describes a noncontact method based on ultrasonics for measuring remotely certain "parameters of motion" of a vibrating surface. The measurement technique is using a pair of 40 kHz air ultrasonic transducers to send a short burst and receive the reflected waveform. The main point is that the frequency of the received signal is measured and the analysis is based on the information about short term frequency variations. These variations of frequency of the received signal are the result of the Doppler effect, which means that by measuring the incoming frequency in an accurate and fast way, one can calculate then the instant value of the velocity of the vibrating surface.

Soluble factor requirements for the autostimulatory growth of B lymphoblasts immortalized by Epstein-Barr virus. (1984)

B lymphoblasts immortalized by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) exhibit autocrine growth stimulation--that is they release a soluble activity to which they respond by growth. A minimally supplemented serum-free medium conditioned by lymphoblastoid cells in their log phase of growth (LCL-CM) was found to contain autostimulatory activity allowing us to explore the mechanism of autocrine growth for these cell-types in defined conditions. Below cell densities capable of supporting autonomous growth, continued proliferation in serum-free medium was dependent on both added LCL-CM and transferrin. Neither activity alone was capable of sustaining growth. At higher cell densities, transferrin by itself was sufficient to maintain the autocrine loop. The action of the autostimulatory factor appeared to reside in its ability to prime cells continually for a proliferative response to transferrin by enhancing the expression of transferrin receptors at the lymphoblast surfaces. The implications of these findings for normal B cell physiology and their possible relation to oncogenesis are discussed.

Candidate reduction and alignment improvement techniques used in aligning ontologies (2009)

Ontology alignment is required to enable interoperability between applications using different ontologies. The alignments generated allow knowledge to be shared between semantically equivalent concepts in two different ontologies. Some applications carry out the ontology alignment process offline and the accuracy of the alignments generated is much more important than the performance of the process. In other applications that perform the ontology alignment process online, the performance is as important as the accuracy of the alignments generated because the process needs to be fast. In this paper, we present techniques used to reduce the number of candidates for matching and techniques used to improve the accuracy of alignments in the ontology alignment process. Candidate reduction methods compare entities in the source ontology to a subset of entities in the target ontology by filtering entities which are unlikely to be matched instead of extensively comparing all pairs of entities belonging to two different ontologies. These techniques reduce the time taken to align the ontologies and are categorised depending on whether they perform candidate reduction using structural methods, external resources or iterative methods. On the other hand, techniques to improve the accuracy of alignments output a set of alignments with greater accuracy given an initial set of alignments. Some of these techniques are constraint-based while others are not.
Characteristics of Air Bearing Suction Force in Magnetic Recording Disks (1996)

Abstract Some fundamental characteristics of the subambient pressure air bearing suction force were investigated analytically and numerically. The performance of air bearing suction force is strongly determined by the cavity bearing number, in which the cavity region recess depth is used as the characteristic film thickness. Although the optimal recess depth for maximum, suction force varies for different operation conditions, the optimal cavity bearing number can be found in a wide range of applications. The analytical model was confirmed by a finite element analysis. Examples of different disc velocities, slider dimensions, and ambient pressure effect were presented.
