Designing Privacy-preserving Smart Meters with Low-cost Microcontrollers. (2011)

Abstract. Smart meters that track fine-grained electricity usage and implement sophisticated usage-based billing policies, e.g., based on timeof-use, are a key component of recent smart grid initiatives that aim to increase the electric grid’s efficiency. A key impediment to widespread smart meter deployment is that fine-grained usage data indirectly reveals detailed information about consumer behavior, such as when occupants are home, when they have guests or their eating and sleeping patterns. Recent research proposes cryptographic solutions that enable sophisticated billing policies without leaking information. However, prior research does not measure the performance constraints of real-world smart meters, which use cheap ultra-low-power microcontrollers to lower deployment costs. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of designing privacy-preserving smart meters using low-cost microcontrollers and provide a general methodology for estimating design costs. We show that it is feasible to produce certified meter readings for use in billing protocols relying on Zero-Knowledge Proofs with microcontrollers such as those inside currently deployed smart meters. Our prototype meter is capable of producing these readings every 10 seconds using a $3.30USD MSP430 microcontroller, while less powerful microcontrollers deployed in today’s smart meters are capable of producing readings every 28 seconds. In addition to our results, our goal is to provide smart meter designers with a general methodology for selecting an appropriate balance between platform performance, power consumption, and monetary cost that accommodates privacy-preserving billing protocols. 1
From structured documents to novel query facilities (1994)

Structured documents (e.g., SGML) can benefit a lot from database support and more specifically from object-oriented database (OODB) management systems. This paper describes a natural mapping from SGML documents into OODB's and a formal extension of two OODB query languages (one SQL-like and the other calculus) in order to deal with SGML document retrieval.

mTOR inhibitors radiosensitize PTEN‐deficient non‐small‐cell lung cancer cells harboring an <i>EGFR</i> activating mutation by inducing autophagy (2012)

Clinical resistance to gefitinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), in patients with lung cancer has been linked to acquisition of the T790M resistance mutation in activated EGFR or amplification of MET. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) loss has been recently reported as a gefitinib resistance mechanism in lung cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of radiotherapy in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with acquired gefitinib resistance caused by PTEN deficiency to suggest radiotherapy as an alternative to EGFR TKIs. PTEN deficient-mediated gefitinib resistance was generated in HCC827 cells, an EGFR TKI sensitive NSCLC cell line, by PTEN knockdown with a lentiviral vector expressing short hairpin RNA-targeting PTEN. The impact of PTEN knockdown on sensitivity to radiation in the presence or absence of PTEN downstream signaling inhibitors was investigated. PTEN knockdown conferred acquired resistance not only to gefitinib but also to radiation on HCC827 cells. mTOR inhibitors alone failed to reduce HCC827 cell viability, regardless of PTEN expression, but ameliorated PTEN knockdown-induced radioresistance. PTEN knockdown-mediated radioresistance was accompanied by repression of radiation-induced cytotoxic autophagy, and treatment with mTOR inhibitors released the repression of cytotoxic autophagy to overcome PTEN knockdown-induced radioresistance in HCC827 cells. These results suggest that inhibiting mTOR signaling could be an effective strategy to radiosensitize NSCLC harboring the EGFR activating mutation that acquires resistance to both TKIs and radiotherapy due to PTEN loss or inactivation mutations.

Differential expression of endothelin-2 along the mouse intestinal tract (2005)

Endothelin (ET)-2, an ET family peptide, is highly expressed in intestine. However, the specific distribution and function of ET-2 remain unknown. We elucidated the expression profile and localization of ET-2 in mouse gastrointestinal tract. Real-time PCR analysis revealed that ET-2 gene expression in the gastrointestinal tract of healthy animals was relatively high in the colon. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed ET-2-like immunoreactivity mainly in epithelial cells of the mucosa throughout the intestinal tract of healthy animals. Intracellularly, ET-2 was concentrated close to the basement membrane of intestinal epithelial cells. A weak ET-2-like immunoreactivity was also localized to some neurofibers and the myenteric plexus of the muscle layer, coexpressing with vasoactive intestinal peptide. ET-2-like immunoreactivity was also detected at Brunner's glands of the duodenum and follicle-associated epithelium of Peyer's patch. In contrast, ET-1-like immunoreactivity was uniformly distributed in epithelial cells. In dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis, colonic ET-2 was upregulated during the late stage of DSS treatment. These results suggest that in intestinal epithelial cells ET-2 could be secreted into the lamina propria and the dome region in Peyer's patch, and that it might modulate immune cells in these sites for mucosal defense.

Answer Identification from Product Reviews for User Questions by Multi-Task Attentive Networks (2019)

Online Shopping has become a part of our daily routine, but it still cannot offer intuitive experience as store shopping. Nowadays, most e-commerce Websites offer a Question Answering (QA) system that allows users to consult other users who have purchased the product. However, users still need to wait patiently for others’ replies. In this paper, we investigate how to provide a quick response to the asker by plausible answer identification from product reviews. By analyzing the similarity and discrepancy between explicit answers and reviews that can be answers, a novel multi-task deep learning method with carefully designed attention mechanisms is developed. The method can well exploit large amounts of user generated QA data and a few manually labeled review data to address the problem. Experiments on data collected from Amazon demonstrate its effectiveness and superiority over competitive baselines.
Quantitation of Gene Expression by RT-PCR and HPLC Analysis of PCR Products (2003)

The quantitative measurement of specific mRNA species is of major importance for studies on gene expression. Northern blotting is a relatively insensitive method requiring microgram amounts of RNA. It is time consuming and semi-quantitative at best. Because of the limitations of Northern blotting, various strategies have been developed for quantitation of cDNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods (1–4). Competitive PCR, in which a synthetic segment is co-amplified together with the target segment, is one of these approaches. Besides adding more steps to the experimental protocol, competitive PCR is limited because the competitor and target sequences are not necessarily amplified with the same efficiency, which impairs reliable quantitation (5). Recently, real-time PCR, in which the generated PCR-products are quantified fluorimetrically after each cycle, has become widely used (6). However, determination of fragment size for positive fragment identification is not—at least not directly—possible with this method.
Synthesis of 18-Hydroxyvincamines and Epoxy-1,14-secovincamines; a New Proof for the Aspidospermane-Eburnane Rearrangement (2007)

Chemical transformations started from tabersonine were studied.A one-pot oxidative ring-transformation with permaleic acid in methanol yielded 17,18-dehydrovincamine.Hydroboration-oxidation of the latter compound led to alkaloid 17,18-dehydrovincamone.Hydroboration-oxidation of tabersonine resulted 14β-hydroxyvincadifformine and 15β-hydroxyvincadifformine.Allowing 14β-and 15β-hydroxyvincadifformines to react with permaleic acid/methanol provided 1,14-secovincamines, serving as new evidence for the mechanism of the aspidospermane-eburnane transformation.On the other hand 18βhydroxyvincamine was obtained from 14β-hydroxyvincadifformine by reaction with 3-chloroperbenzoic acid and successive treatment with triphenylphosphine/aqueous acetic acid.
Iterative Frequency Domain Joint-over-Antenna Detection in Multiuser MIMO (2007)

Multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems have great potential in improving information rate, diversity and resistance to against interference. The primary objective of this paper is to derive for broadband signaling a new iterative frequency domain (FD) multiuser MIMO signal detection technique for joint-over-antenna (JA) detection. The proposed detector is based on soft-cancellation and minimum mean square error (MMSE) filtering, followed by maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) detector to detect several of each users transmit antennas. The purpose of jointly detecting several transmit antennas is to preserve the degrees of freedom (DoF) for MMSE. Computational complexities with FD and its time domain (TD) counterpart are evaluated in this paper, and it is shown that FD requires significantly lower complexity than TD. Numerical results show that JA significantly outperforms the receiver that detects transmit antenna signals antenna-by- antenna (AA). The proposed iterative FD JA technique achieves larger performance gains compared to AA when the total number of transmit antennas is larger than the number of receiver antennas, as well as in the presence of spatial correlation.
STUDIES ON PERSISTENT INFECTIONS OF TISSUE CULTURES (1959)

In previous reports of this series, it was shown that persistent infection of MCN cultures with certain myxoviruses rendered the cells insusceptible to superinfection by several cytopathogenic viruses. It was thought that production of an interferon might be the cause of this resistance and efforts to confirm this suggestion have been presented. Addition of ultraviolet-inactivated myxoviruses (mumps, Newcastle disease, influenza A, and Sendai) to MCN cultures for periods of 2 to 3 hours, followed by washing and refeeding of the cells, led to the subsequent release into the media of a substance which induced in fresh MCN cells a transitory resistance to infection by vesicular stomatitis virus, and prevented incomplete reproductive cycles of influenza A and Sendai viruses. Media containing this substance were free of detectable hemagglutinating activity and viral complement-fixing antigens. The substance was not neutralized by specific antiviral sera; it was not sedimentable by high speed centrifugation; it was not adsorbed onto red cells; but it was inactivated by trypsin. Thus, its properties matched those of the interferon described by Isaacs and his associates. A comparison of the extent of resistance induced in MCN cells by decreasing doses of ultraviolet-inactivated myxoviruses (interference test) and the protection afforded by the media removed from the cultures prior to challenge and transferred to fresh MCN tubes (interferon test) revealed that wherever interference became detectable in the cells, the media of the corresponding cultures contained some interferon. Interferon was obtained by inactivated myxoviruses also from primary cell cultures by the same techniques, but not from HeLa cells. Interferons derived from one type of culture may protect others equally well or show a certain degree of host specificity in that resistance in homologous cells may be somewhat more pronounced than in heterologous cultures. No resistance could be induced in HeLa cells by the interferon preparations employed. Interferon was detected also in MCN cultures, persistently infected with mumps virus. Its concentration was apparently too small in carrier cultures maintained as routine to be measurable. However, when the cells were grown in heavy sheets in roller bottles, and especially when the volume of medium was reduced for several days prior to harvest, interferon became readily detectable. These results strengthen the suggestion that interferon may play a decisive role in the establishment and maintenance of persistent infections in the system under study. Its nature, source, mode of action, and exact role in persistent infection remains to be elucidated.
Isolation of cDNA clones from an osteosarcoma‐ROS17/2.8 library by differential hybridization (1994)

We have used differential hybridization to isolate and characterize two novel cDNAs expressed in chondrocytes and some osteoblastic cells. A rat osteosarcoma ROS17/2.8 cDNA library was screened and cDNA clones hybridizing strongly to radiolabeled porcine calvaria cDNA but weakly to a control radiolabeled cDNA were isolated. Two clones were obtained--p.6.1 and p.10.15. A radiolabeled probe of p10.15 was shown to hybridize specifically to a 2.3 Kb message RNA from a chondrogenic clonal cell population from rat calvaria-RCJ 3.1C5.18, and the mRNA was downregulated by 1,25 (OH)2D3, which inhibits chondrogenesis in these cells. The other clone, p6.1, was found to hybridize to a 0.95 Kb message that is expressed in rat liver, kidney, lung, muscle, and brain, but not expressed in spleen and expressed only in low levels in thymus.
Lactate transporters (MCT proteins) in heart and skeletal muscles (2000)

Lactate traverses the cell membranes of many tissues, including the heart and skeletal muscle via a facilitated monocarboxylate transport system that functions as a proton symport and is stereoselective for L-lactate. In the past few years, seven monocarboxylate transporters have been cloned. Monocarboxylate transporters are ubiquitously distributed among many tissues, and the transcripts of several monocarboxylate transporters are present within many of the same tissues. This complicates the identification of their metabolic function. There is also evidence that that there is some species specificity, with differences in MCT tissue distributions in hamsters, rats, and humans. MCT1 and MCT3-M/MCT4 are present in rat and human muscles, and MCT1 expression is highly correlated with the oxidative capacity of skeletal muscles and with their capacity to take up lactate from the circulation. MCT1 is also present in heart and is located on the plasma membrane (in subdomains), T-tubules, and in caveolae. With training, MCT1 is increased in rat and human muscle, and in rat hearts, resulting in an increased uptake of lactate from the buffers perfused through these tissues and an increase in lactate efflux out of purified vesicles. In humans, the training-induced increases in MCT1 are associated with an increased lactate efflux out of muscle. MCT3-M/MCT4 is not correlated with the muscles' oxidative capacities but is equally abundant in Type IIa and IIb muscles, whereas it is markedly lower in slow-twitch (Type I) muscles. Clearly, we are at the threshold of a new era in understanding the regulation of lactate movement into and out of skeletal muscle and cardiac cells.

Color lens shade compensation achieved by linear regression of piece-wise bilinear spline functions (2009)

The pixel densities of current CMOS sensors increase and bring new challenges for image sensor designers. Todays sensor modules with miniature lenses often exhibit a considerable amount of color lens shading. This shading is spatial-variant and can be easily identified when capturing a flat textureless Lambertian surface and inspecting the light fall-off and hue change from the image center towards the borders. In this paper we discuss lens shade compensation using spatially dependent gains for each of the four color channel in the Bayer color filter array. We determine reference compensation functions in off-line calibration and efficiently parameterize each function with a bilinear spline which we fit to the reference function using constrained least-squares and Lagrangian conditions ensuring continuity between the piece-wise bilinear functions. For each spline function we optimize a rectilinear grid on which the spline knots are aligned by minimizing the square errors between reference and approximated compensation function. Our evaluations provide quantitative results with real image data using three recent CMOS sensor modules.
Resistance to candidiasis and macrophage activity in chitin-treated mice (1997)

The effect of chitin, a polysaccharide of the cell wall of Candida albicans, on both the survival of C. albicans infected mice and the activity of the murine peritoneal macrophages has been studied. Pretreatment of mice with 30 mg kg−1 C. albicans chitin enhanced the survival of the infected animals. The protective effect was concomitant with an enhancement of both phagocytic and candidacidal activities of the peritoneal macrophages. Chitin by itself did not induce the nitric oxide (NO) synthase in the macrophages, which remained at a level similar to that shown by the macrophages from untreated animals. The administration of 10 mg kg−1 C. albicans chitin diminished the long term survival of the infected animals. This effect was coincident with a lower candidacidal activity and NO production by the macrophages of the chitin treated and infected animals, compared to the untreated infected animals.
A novel rollover warning method for ground vehicles based on smartphone built in GIS/GPS (2015)

In recent years, it has been shown that damages of casualties and property losses caused by vehicle rollover accidents are severe. Vehicle rollovers can easily cause secondary accidents such as chain collisions on freeways. Ground vehicles with relatively higher center of gravity on sharp curves are prone to rollover accidents. Therefore, it is of vital significance to design a rollover warning system for this type of vehicles. After summarizing current research achievements about vehicle rollover warning methods, the paper presents a novel rollover warning method for ground vehicles based on GIS/GPS. It firstly elaborates the method for road curve identification and curve radius estimation. Then, a curve speed model is built based on vehicle dynamics and road environment conditions. Lastly, it presents the architecture and field test verification of the rollover warning system. The main contributions of this paper are organized as follows: 1) Curve speed model is built by analyzing the correlation between the front wheel angle and the curve radius. Moreover, rollover limiting condition is analyzed based on vehicle roll dynamics modeling; 2) Curve road recognition based on GIS/GPS using smartphone platform. It presents a curve recognition algorithm based on acquiring road and vehicle parameters such as curve entry, driving direction and vehicle lateral acceleration; 3) Curve radius estimation based on road curve fitting and radius calculation. After obtaining location of each circular section on the curve through the digital map, the center of each circular section is determined and then the average radius of the curve is calculated.
