Full 10 × 10 Gbit/s OTDM data generation anddemultiplexing using electroabsorption modulators (1998)

Error free operation of all 10 independently modulated channels in a 100 Gbit/s OTDM system is demonstrated. Electroabsorption modulators are used to extract 10 Gbit/s channels from the 100 Gbit/s data stream, the highest speed reported for such a device.
An Instance Based Methodology for Merging Domain Ontology (2009)

Several systems have been proposed to merge ontologies for heterogeneous application domains. They give primacy to concepts and roles. In this paper, we describe an algorithm to merge two or more ontologies constructed from a common set of corpus for an application domain by different groups of ontology experts. We give primacy to instances and values to discover mismatch. Our algorithm makes distinction between roles and attributes of concepts and gives primacy to named instances and attribute values to discover mismatch and to resolve them. We use bottom-up approach and equality relationship between values and names to discover mismatch in ontologies. Names included for consideration are instance name, attribute name and concept name. Our algorithm is demonstrated with two examples.
Simulation of crystal oscillator circuits using CAD techniques (1989)

It is hard to design an oscillator to specific parameters. Analysing an oscillator circuit is complicated and tedious, and measuring parameters is difficult because of the loading effect the measuring equipment has on the oscillator itself. As the requirements for oscillators become more stringent it will become necessary to design oscillators optimised to a particular specification. An obvious approach is to use computer aided design tools to simplify analysis of proposed designs. Recently, new simulators have become available which are better able to cope with the simulation of high Q feedback circuits. This paper presents the results of using such a simulator to analyse crystal oscillator circuits. >
Managing Dynamic User Communities in a Grid of Autonomous Resources (2003)

One of the fundamental concepts in Grid computing is the creation of Virtual Organizations (VO's): a set of resource consumers and providers that join forces to solve a common problem. Typical examples of Virtual Organizations include collaborations formed around the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. To date, Grid computing has been applied on a relatively small scale, linking dozens of users to a dozen resources, and management of these VO's was a largely manual operation. With the advance of large collaboration, linking more than 10000 users with a 1000 sites in 150 counties, a comprehensive, automated management system is required. It should be simple enough not to deter users, while at the same time ensuring local site autonomy. The VO Management Service (VOMS), developed by the EU DataGrid and DataTAG projects[1, 2], is a secured system for managing authorization for users and resources in virtual organizations. It extends the existing Grid Security Infrastructure[3] architecture with embedded VO affiliation assertions that can be independently verified by all VO members and resource providers. Within the EU DataGrid project, Grid services for job submission, file- and database access are being equipped with fine- grained authorization systems that take VO membership into account. These also give resource owners the ability to ensure site security and enforce local access policies. This paper will describe the EU DataGrid security architecture, the VO membership service and the local site enforcement mechanisms Local Centre Authorization Service (LCAS), Local Credential Mapping Service(LCMAPS) and the Java Trust and Authorization Manager.

T3-dependent physiological regulation of transcription in the Xenopus tadpole brain studied by polyethylenimine based in vivo gene transfer (1998)

The formulation of cationic polymers of polyethylenimine (PEI) with plasmid DNA has been optimized to deliver genes into the Xenopus tadpole brain in vivo. Using intraventricular microinjections of 1 microl (containing 0.5 to 1 microg DNA) we show that the linear, low molecular weight polymer, 22 kDa PEI was significantly more efficient than a branched 25 kDa polymer. Complexes bearing a slightly positive net charge (formed with a ratio of 6 PEI amines per DNA phosphate) provided the best levels of transfection. Transgene expression was DNA-dose dependent and was maintained over 6 days, the time course of the experiment. Spatial distribution was examined using a beta-galactosidase construct and neurones expressing this transgene were found spread throughout the brain. The possibility of using this technique to evaluate physiological regulations was approached by examining the effects of tri-iodothyronine (T3), on transcription from the mammalian TRH and Krox-24 promoter sequences. Adding physiological concentrations of T3 to the aquarium water significantly reduced transcription from the rat TRH promoter whilst the same treatment increased transcription from a mouse Krox-24 -luciferase construct. Thus, PEI-DNA transfection provides a versatile and easily applied method for following physiological regulations at the transcriptional level in the tadpole brain.
Detection of Varicella-Zoster Virus DNA in the Oropharynx and Blood of Patients with Varicella (1992)

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA in respiratory epithelial cells and in peripheral blood leukocytes from adults with varicella. VZV DNA was detected in oropharyngeal epithelium in 62% of patients early in the course of varicella; the amount of VZV DNA declined with time and was detectable in only 22% of patients for greater than 6 days. VZV DNA was also detected in peripheral blood leukocytes in 74% of patients early in disease and was detected in both polymorphonuclear and mononuclear leukocytes. PCR demonstrated the presence of VZV DNA in the oropharynx and blood of most patients during varicella, in contrast to the ability to detect VZV in these tissues by viral culture.
Hollow Carbon Nanofibers Filled with MnO<sub>2</sub> Nanosheets as Efficient Sulfur Hosts for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries (2015)

Lithium-sulfur batteries have been investigated as promising electrochemical-energy storage systems owing to their high theoretical energy density. Sulfur-based cathodes must not only be highly conductive to enhance the utilization of sulfur, but also effectively confine polysulfides to mitigate their dissolution. A new physical and chemical entrapment strategy is based on a highly efficient sulfur host, namely hollow carbon nanofibers (HCFs) filled with MnO2 nanosheets. Benefiting from both the HCFs and birnessite-type MnO2 nanosheets, the MnO2 @HCF hybrid host not only facilitates electron and ion transfer during the redox reactions, but also efficiently prevents polysulfide dissolution. With a high sulfur content of 71 wt % in the composite and an areal sulfur mass loading of 3.5 mg cm(-2) in the electrode, the MnO2 @HCF/S electrode delivered a specific capacity of 1161 mAh g(-1) (4.1 mAh cm(-2) ) at 0.05 C and maintained a stable cycling performance at 0.5 C over 300 cycles.
An efficient method of Huffman decoding for MPEG-2 AAC and its performance analysis (2005)

This paper presents a new method for Huffman decoding specially designed for the MPEG-2 AAC audio. The method significantly enhances the processing efficiency of the conventional Huffman decoding realized with the ordinary binary tree search method. A data structure of one-dimensional array is newly designed based on the numerical interpretation of the incoming bit stream and its utilization for the offset oriented nodes allocation. The Huffman tree implemented with the proposed data structure allows the direct computation of the branching location, eliminating the need for the pipeline-violating "compare and jump" instructions. The experimental results show the average performance enhancement of 67% and 285%, compared to those of the conventional binary tree search method and the sequential search method, respectively. The proposed method also shows slightly better processing efficiency, while requiring much less memory space, compared even with those up-to-date efficient search methods of Hashemian and its variants.
Can Varicocelectomy Significantly Change The Way Couples Use Assisted Reproductive Technologies? (2002)

We assessed how varicocelectomy alters semen quality in a large cohort of infertile men and determined whether it can change patient candidacy for assisted reproductive technology procedures.A cohort of 540 infertile men with clinical palpable varicocele underwent microsurgical varicocelectomy and were followed more than 1 and 2 years postoperatively for alterations in semen quality and conception, respectively. Preoperatively and postoperatively the total motile sperm count was calculated in all semen analyses. Based on total motile sperm count values patients were divided into 4 groups according to the type of assisted reproductive technology for which they qualified, including 0 to 1.5 million or less (intracytoplasmic sperm injection candidates), 1.5 to 5 million or less (in vitro fertilization candidates), 5 to less than 20 million (intrauterine insemination candidates) and 20 million or greater sperm (spontaneous pregnancy candidates). Preoperative and postoperative semen quality was compared among individuals in these cohorts to determine the shifts in assisted reproductive technology care that are possible after varicolectomy.Mean patient age was 29.5 years (range 18 to 58). Microsurgical varicocelectomy was bilateral in 393 patients (73%), on the left side in 146 (27%) and on the right side in 1 (0.2%). A positive response to varicocelectomy, defined as a greater than 50% increase in total motile sperm count, was observed in 271 patients (50%). An overall spontaneous pregnancy rate of 36.6% was achieved after varicocelectomy with a mean time to conception of 7 months (range 1 to 19). Of preoperative in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection candidates 31% became intrauterine insemination or spontaneous pregnancy candidates after varicolectomy. Of intrauterine insemination candidates 42% gained the potential for spontaneous pregnancy.Varicocelectomy has significant potential not only to obviate the need for assisted reproductive technology, but also to down stage or shift the level of assisted reproductive technology needed to bypass male factor infertility.
Prevalence of drug resistant hypertension. (1988)

Hypertension patients (1781), drawn from seven large employee groups in and around New York City, were studied to determine the prevalence of resistant hypertension among them. The blood pressure criteria for resistance (potential resistance) were failure to reach and maintain a blood pressure less than 160/95 mm Hg on two separate occasions during at least 1 year of treatment. Confirmed resistance required that during the same period of follow-up, in which at least two antihypertensive agents had been prescribed simultaneously, blood pressure control had not been achieved. Potential resistance during 1 year of treatment was found in 75 patients (4.2%), and confirmed resistance for the same period was found in 52 patients (2.9%). Diastolic resistance was far more common than systolic; the systolic/diastolic resistance was the rarest of all. Of the 52 patients with confirmed resistance for the first year, 33 achieved control in subsequent years. In sum, true resistance as defined by rigorous criteria pertaining to the hypotensive effects of pharmacological intervention in the general population is exceedingly rare.
Adhesive properties: a critical issue in transdermal patch development (2011)

The Pharmacopoeias should consider the opportunity of introducing compendial testing to assay the quality of adhesive patch properties, and regulatory agencies should issue proper guidelines to evaluate these features during development.
Experimentally-induced prostatic hyperplasia in young beagles: a model to evaluate the chemotherapeutic effects of gossypol. (1996)

This study investigated the effect of gossypol on hyperplastic canine prostates induced with long-term administration of androgen and estrogen. Twelve 16-week-old male beagle dogs were divided evenly (n = 3) into 4 treatment groups: (1) CONTROL: vehicle only; (2) Gossypol-Treated: 20 mg/kg gossypol acetic acid; (3) Steroid-Induced: 4 mg/kg testosterone and 40 micrograms/kg estradiol-17 beta; (4) Gossypol-Treated and Steroid-Induced: 4 mg/kg testosterone, 40 micrograms/kg estradiol-17 beta and 20 mg/kg gossypol. The subjects received treatments every other day for 1 month. The beagles treated with steroids developed an acute enlargement (approximately 10-fold) of the prostate as compared to control. The prostatic acini were underdeveloped and characterized by simple squamous to low cuboidal epithelium in the control subjects while acini in steroid-induced subjects were characterized by simple tall columnar epithelium. The subjects treated with gossypol had prostates histologically similar to controls with the exception of loosened periurethral connective tissue. Serum testosterone and estradiol-17 beta levels imply that gossypol can reduce steroid hormonal levels. Mean serum testosterone levels in gossypol-treated subjects were reduced approximately 50% from controls. Serum biochemistry profiles indicate that steroid and/or gossypol treatments were not toxic at the doses and duration used in this study. These observations imply that gossypol and steroid hormones can interact to alter prostate development and gossypol metabolism and/or clearance.
Cooperative update (2009)

Many real-world systems require continuous operation. Downtime is ill-affordable and scheduling maintenance for regular software updates is a tremendous challenge for system administrators. For this reason, live update is a potential solution as it allows running software to be replaced by a newer version without stopping the system. The vast majority of live update approaches proposed as a solution to this problem aims to support existing software systems, while striving to maintain a good level of safety and flexibility.
Inferring long-term user properties based on users' location history (2007)

Recent development of location technologies enables us to obtain the location history of users. This paper proposes a new method to infer users' longterm properties from their respective location histories. Counting the instances of sensor detection for every user, we can obtain a sensor-user matrix. After generating features from the matrix, a machine learning approach is taken to automatically classify users into different categories for each user property. Inspired by information retrieval research, the problem to infer user properties is reduced to a text categorization problem. We compare weightings of several features and also propose sensor weighting. Our algorithms are evaluated using experimental location data in an office environment.
tert-Butyl 3-Carboxyethyl-3-phosphonodiethylpropionate. A Novel Reagent for Stobbe-Like Condensations (1993)

Air-assisted High-performance Field-effect Transistor with Thin Films of Picene (2008)

A field-effect transistor (FET) with thin films of picene has been fabricated on SiO2 gate dielectric. The FET showed p-channel enhancement-type FET characteristics with the field-effect mobility, mu, of 1.1 cm2 V-1 s-1 and the on-off ratio of >10(5). This excellent device performance was realized under atmospheric conditions. The mu increased with an increase in temperature, and the FET performance was improved by exposure to air or O2 for a long time. This result implies that this device is an air (O2)-assisted FET. The FET characteristics are discussed on the basis of structural topography and the energy diagram of picene thin films.
Deep API Programmer: Learning to Program with APIs (2017)

We present DAPIP, a Programming-By-Example system that learns to program with APIs to perform data transformation tasks. We design a domain-specific language (DSL) that allows for arbitrary concatenations of API outputs and constant strings. The DSL consists of three family of APIs: regular expression-based APIs, lookup APIs, and transformation APIs. We then present a novel neural synthesis algorithm to search for programs in the DSL that are consistent with a given set of examples. The search algorithm uses recently introduced neural architectures to encode input-output examples and to model the program search in the DSL. We show that synthesis algorithm outperforms baseline methods for synthesizing programs on both synthetic and real-world benchmarks.

Computerized Pattern Recognition Applied to Ni‐Cd Cell Lifetime Prediction (1979)

Computerized pattern recognition was used to look for characteristics of new nickel‐cadmium spacecraft cells which would be predictive of later performance under stressful conditions. It was found that the changes in voltage while a cell was being charged could be used to make a rough estimate of its lifetime. The standard deviation in the predicted lifetime values was somewhat smaller than the standard deviation of the lifetime distribution as a whole, and there are indications that a more extensive data set would yield better results.
Adaptive force control of robot arm with estimation of environmental stiffness (2010)

Working robots may encounter and interact with various objects, whose dynamical characteristics are unknown; linear or nonlinear and their strength of stiffness. The interaction includes such processes as collision of arm with environments, hand gripping of objects, holding human body in medical case etc. These processes consist of free motion before touching the objects, and constrained motion after then. An adaptive force control is proposed to manage these conditions mentioned above. The environment is modeled by linear or nonlinear spring with unknown stiffness. The impedance parameters are tuned through the use of stiffness estimation for both linear and nonlinear spring. The conventional recursive least squares method is modified so that the nonlinearity can be detected with high sensitivity.
Monoclonal Hybridoma Antibodies against Human IgE and Their Use in a Rapid and Sensitive Enzyme Immunoassay for the Semiquantitative Assessment of Total IgE Levels in Human Blood (1983)

A simple semiquantitative enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the rapid estimation of IgE levels in specimens of human blood, plasma or serum is described. The test requires little labour input and does not require highly trained personnel or instrumentation. By using two monoclonal antibodies of different anti-IgE specificities it is possible, with a single incubation of 20 min at ambient temperature, to detect elevated IgE levels (greater than or equal to 333 IU/ml) within a total test time of 25 min, and low levels of IgE (less than or equal to 10 IU/ml) within 35 min. For diagnosis of elevated/normal IgE levels only, a single incubation of 10 min. at ambient temperature may be used with a total test time of less than 20 min. The EIA system utilizes glass capillary tubes and urease-labelled antibodies, a system that has proven satisfactory in other applications.
Increase in albumin, IgG, and IgM blood-nerve barrier indices in human diabetic neuropathy. (1988)

The albumin (Alb), IgG, and IgM concentrations in the endoneurium of fascicular sural nerve biopsy samples were evaluated in controls (n = 9 or 10), diabetic patients without neuropathy (n = 6), and diabetic patients with polyneuropathy (n = 17 or 18). These values were significantly increased in diabetic patients with and without neuropathy when expressed both per endoneurial dry weight or endoneurial total protein compared to biopsy samples from healthy controls. When these concentrations, expressed per endoneurial total protein, were related to plasma concentrations similarly expressed, the resulting blood-nerve barrier (BNB) indices were significantly increased for Alb (6.1 times; P less than 0.00001), IgG (4.9 times; P = 0.00037), and IgM (2.7 times; P = 0.015). The diabetic patients without neuropathy (defined as having an index of pathology of greater than 0.65; a measure of the severity of the pathological abnormality based on morphological criteria) also had significant increases in two of these BNB indices that were intermediate between the diabetic neuropathy patients and controls (Alb, 3.9 times controls; P = 0.00002: IgG, 4.6 times controls; P = 0.00016: IgM, 1.8 times controls; not significant). No correlations were observed between the endoneurial concentrations of these plasma proteins or the BNB indices and the index of pathology, suggesting that these increases in endoneurial plasma proteins precede the pathologic alterations. The increased values for the diabetics in the absence of pathological abnormalities may prove useful in predicting neuropathic complications. The ratio of the IgG-BNB index to the Alb-BNB index was decreased 19%, and the ratio of the IgM-BNB index to the Alb-BNB index was decreased 56% in diabetic neuropathy patients compared to controls. Although the IgG and IgM concentrations are increased in the diabetic endoneurium, the Alb increase is greater and a mechanism other than size indiscriminate extravasation of plasma proteins, therefore, is suggested. Morphometric assessment of the endoneurial compartments, which would be expected to contain these plasma proteins, suggests that they are not altered in diabetic neuropathy; hence, it is hypothesized that the observed increase in endoneurial concentration of these plasma proteins results from altered transport through the endothelial or perineurial barrier, which supports an underlying vascular mechanism in the development of diabetic polyneuropathy.
