A power capping controller for multicore processors (2012)

This paper presents an online controller for tracking power-budgets in multicore processors using dynamic voltage-frequency scaling. The proposed control law comprises an integral controller whose gain is adjusted online based on the derivative of the power-frequency relationship. The control law is designed to achieve rapid settling time, and it's tracking property is formally proven. Importantly, the controller design does not require off-line analysis of application workloads making it feasible for emerging heterogeneous and asymmetric multicore processors. Simulation results are presented for controlling power dissipation in multiple cores of an asymmetric multicore processor. Each core is i) equipped with the controller, ii) assigned a power budget, and iii) operates independently in tracking to its power budget. We use a cycle-level multi-core simulator driven by traces from SPEC2006 benchmarks demonstrating that the proposed algorithm achieves a faster settling time than examples of a static setting of the controller gain.
A Scalable Self-organizing Map Algorithm for Textual Classification: A Neural Network Approach to Thesaurus Generation (1998)

: The rapid proliferation of textual and multimedia online databases, digital libraries, Internet servers, and intranet services has turned researchers&apos; and practitioners&apos; dream of creating an information-rich society into a nightmare of info-gluts. Many researchers believe that turning an info-glut into a useful digital library requires automated techniques for organizing and categorizing large-scale information. This paper presents research in which we sought to develop a scaleable textual classification and categorization system based on the Kohonen&apos;s self-organizing feature map (SOM) algorithm. In our paper, we show how self-organization can be used for automatic thesaurus generation. Our proposed data structure and algorithm took advantage of the sparsity of coordinates in the document input vectors and reduced the SOM computational complexity by several order of magnitude. The proposed Scaleable SOM (SSOM) algorithm makes large-scale textual categorization tasks a possibility. A...
Real-Time Face Reconstruction from a Single Depth Image (2014)

This paper contributes a real time method for recovering facial shape and expression from a single depth image. The method also estimates an accurate and dense correspondence field between the input depth image and a generic face model. Both outputs are a result of minimizing the error in reconstructing the depth image, achieved by applying a set of identity and expression blend shapes to the model. Traditionally, such a generative approach has shown to be computationally expensive and non-robust because of the non-linear nature of the reconstruction error. To overcome this problem, we use a discriminatively trained prediction pipeline that employs random forests to generate an initial dense but noisy correspondence field. Our method then exploits a fast ICP-like approximation to update these correspondences, allowing us to quickly obtain a robust initial fit of our model. The model parameters are then fine tuned to minimize the true reconstruction error using a stochastic optimization technique. The correspondence field resulting from our hybrid generative-discriminative pipeline is accurate and useful for a variety of applications such as mesh deformation and retexturing. Our method works in real-time on a single depth image i.e. Without temporal tracking, is free from per-user calibration, and works in low-light conditions.
Effects of nutrition on production and reproduction of dairy cows in Bangladesh (1970)

Sixty-eight cows in group A were fed 63.9 megajoules (MJ)/day, 66 in B were fed52.9, and 66 in C were fed 51.1 MJ/day. The mean (± SD) services per pregnancy of cowsin groups A, B and C were 1.7 ± 0.7, 1.9 ± 0.6 and 2.5 ± 0.9, respectively. The mean calvingto 1stfirst service intervals were 158.1 ± 51.5, 171.0 ± 59.0 and 200.0 ± 50.3 days,respectively. The mean milk yields were 5.8 ± 2.6, 4.5 ± 1.9 and 4.3 ± 1.9 litres/ day,respectively. Pregnancy rate was significantly (P<0.05) affected by breed, parity, age,body condition score (BCS) and body weight of cows. Breed and parity had no significanteffect on pregnancy rate. Age, BCS and body weight had significant (P<0.05) affect onpregnancy rate.(Bangl. vet. 2010. Vol. 27, No. 1, 8 – 17)DOI: 10.3329/bvet.v27i1.5910
Norbornadiene-Fused Heterocycles: Syntheses and Cycloaddition Reactions of 2-Aryl-4,7-dihydro-4,7-methano-2<i>H</i>-isoindoles and 4,7-Dihydro-4,7-methanoisobenzofuran (1995)

Abstract 2-Phenyl- and 2-(p-tolyl)-4,7-dihydro-4,7-methano-2H-isoindole were synthesized by treatment of 3-(diethoxymethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-2-carbaldehyde with aniline or p-toluidine, followed by reduction with sodium borohydride and acid-catalyzed cyclization. It was concluded that the previous claim of the synthesis of methanoisoindole derivatives was incorrect. 4,7-Dihydro-4,7-methanoisobenzofuran was prepared by the reduction of the norbornadiene-monocarbaldehyde with sodium borohydride and subsequent treatment with Amberlyst-15. The p-tolylmethanoisoindole reacted with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to give a novel 1 : 3 adduct. On the other hand, in the reaction of the methanoisobenzofuran with N-phenylmaleimide, spontaneous oxidation of the Diels–Alder cycloadduct took place to give exclusively its epoxide.
Surface Binding of Aflatoxin B <sub>1</sub> by Lactic Acid Bacteria (2001)

Specific lactic acid bacterial strains remove toxins from liquid media by physical binding. The stability of the aflatoxin B(1) complexes formed with 12 bacterial strains in both viable and nonviable (heat- or acid-treated) forms was assessed by repetitive aqueous extraction. By the fifth extraction, up to 71% of the total aflatoxin B(1) remained bound. Nonviable bacteria retained the highest amount of aflatoxin B(1). Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG (ATCC 53103) and L. rhamnosus strain LC-705 (DSM 7061) removed aflatoxin B(1) from solution most efficiently and were selected for further study. The accessibility of bound aflatoxin B(1) to an antibody in an indirect competitive inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay suggests that surface components of these bacteria are involved in binding. Further evidence is the recovery of around 90% of the bound aflatoxin from the bacteria by solvent extraction. Autoclaving and sonication did not release any detectable aflatoxin B(1). Variation in temperature (4 to 37 degrees C) and pH (2 to 10) did not have any significant effect on the amount of aflatoxin B(1) released. Binding of aflatoxin B(1) appears to be predominantly extracellular for viable and heat-treated bacteria. Acid treatment may permit intracellular binding. In all cases, binding is of a reversible nature, but the stability of the complexes formed depends on strain, treatment, and environmental conditions.

<title>Network protocols for mobile robot systems</title> (1998)

Communications and communications protocols will play an important role in mobile robot systems able to address real world applications. A poorly integrated 'stack' of communications protocols, or protocols which are poorly matched to the functional and performance characteristics of the underlying physical communications links, can greatly reduce the effectiveness of an otherwise well implemented robotic or networked sensors system. The proliferation of Internet-like networks in military as well as civilian domains has motivated research to address some of the performance limitations TCP suffers when using RF and other media with long bandwidth-delay, dynamic connectivity, and error-prone links. Beyond these performance issues, however, TCP is poorly matched to the requirements of mobile robot and other quasi-autonomous systems: it is oriented to providing a continuous data stream, rather than discrete messages, and the canonical 'socket' interface conceals short losses of communications connectivity, but simply gives up and forces the application layer software to deal with longer losses. For the multipurpose security and surveillance mission platform project, a software applique is being developed that will run on top of user datagram protocol to provide a reliable message-based transport service. In addition, a session layer protocol is planned to support the effective transfer of control of multiple platforms among multiple stations.
A collisional-radiative model applicable to argon discharges over a wide range of conditions. II. Application to low-pressure, hollow-cathode arc and low-pressure glow discharges (1989)

For pt.I see ibid., vol.22, p.623 (1989). The extensive collisional-radiative model for an argon atom plasma is applied to a low-pressure, hollow-cathode arc discharge and to the positive column of a low-pressure glow discharge in order to clarify the mechanisms by which the excited levels in these discharges are populated, the results being compared with experimental investigations in the literature. Computations are carried out for various sets of input parameters, such as the electron kinetic temperature T e , the atom temperature T a , the ion temperature T i , the electron number density n e , the ground state atom population n 1 , the plasma column radius R and the escape factors lambda mn and lambda m , characterising the non-equilibrium plasmas under consideration. The predictions of the authors' model. i.e the populations in the excited levels as a function of the electron number density, the effective principal quantum number and the discharge current, are compared with the experimental results and in two cases also with the theoretical results of other authors. It is shown that all calculated dependences are fairly close to the corresponding experimental curves referring to both discharges. The results presented confirm the applicability of the so-called 'analytical top model' of van der Mullen et al. (1978, 1980) and Walsh's formula for Lambda 1n interpreted according to Mills and Hieftje (1984).
Anti-Biofilm Strategies and the Need for Innovations in Wound Care (2009)

With an aging and obese population, chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, and venous leg ulcers are of an increasingly relevant medical concern in the developed world. Identification of bacterial biofilm contamination as a major contributor to non-healing wounds demands biofilm-targeted strategies to treat chronic wounds. While the current standard of care has proven marginally effective, there are components of standard care that should remain part of the wound treatment regime including systemic and topical antibiotics, antiseptics, and physical debridement of biofilm and devitalized tissue. Emerging anti-biofilm strategies include novel, non-invasive means of physical debridement, chemical agent strategies, and biological agent strategies. While aging and obesity will continue to be major burdens to wound care, the emergence of wounds associated with war require investigation and biotechnology development to address biofilm strategies that manage multi-drug resistant bacteria contaminating the chronic wound. The article presents some of the recent patents related to anti-biofilm strategy in wound care.

Using Stage- and Slit-Scanning to Improve Contrast and Optical Sectioning in Dual-View Inverted Light Sheet Microscopy (diSPIM) (2016)

Dual-view inverted selective plane illumination microscopy (diSPIM) enables high-speed, long-term, four-dimensional (4D) imaging with isotropic spatial resolution. It is also compatible with conventional sample mounting on glass coverslips. However, broadening of the light sheet at distances far from the beam waist and sample-induced scattering degrades diSPIM contrast and optical sectioning. We describe two simple improvements that address both issues and entail no additional hardware modifications to the base diSPIM. First, we demonstrate improved diSPIM sectioning by keeping the light sheet and detection optics stationary, and scanning the sample through the stationary light sheet (rather than scanning the broadening light sheet and detection plane through the stationary sample, as in conventional diSPIM). This stage-scanning approach allows a thinner sheet to be used when imaging laterally extended samples, such as fixed microtubules or motile mitochondria in cell monolayers, and produces finer contrast than does conventional diSPIM. We also used stage-scanning diSPIM to obtain high-quality, 4D nuclear datasets derived from an uncompressed nematode embryo, and performed lineaging analysis to track 97% of cells until twitching. Second, we describe the improvement of contrast in thick, scattering specimens by synchronizing light-sheet synthesis with the rolling, electronic shutter of our scientific complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (sCMOS) detector. This maneuver forms a virtual confocal slit in the detection path, partially removing out-of-focus light. We demonstrate the applicability of our combined stage- and slit-scanning- methods by imaging pollen grains and nuclear and neuronal structures in live nematode embryos. All acquisition and analysis code is freely available online.
Cheops: a compact explorer for complex hierarchies (1996)

As the amount of electronic information explodes, hierarchies to handle this information become huge and complex. Visualizing and interacting with these hierarchies become daunting tasks. The problem is exacerbated if the visualization is to be done on mass-market personal computers, with limited processing power and visual resolution. Many of the current visualization techniques work effectively for hierarchies of 1000 nodes, but as the number of nodes increases toward 5000, these techniques tend to break down. Hierarchies above 5000 nodes usually require special modifications such as clustering, which can affect visual stability. This paper introduces Cheops, a novel approach to the representation, browsing and exploration of huge, complex information hierarchies such as the Dewey Decimal Classification system, which can contain between a million and a billion nodes. The Cheops approach maintains context within a huge hierarchy, while simultaneously providing easy access to details. This paper presents some preliminary results from usability tests performed on an 8-wide-by-9-deep classification hierarchy, which if fully populated would contain over 19 million nodes.
Firmware structure and architectural support for monitors, vertical migration and user microprogramming (1982)

This paper describes firmware and hardware support necessary for constructing easy-to-understand and high performance operating systems including language translators and interpreters. Basic principles are one-to-one correspondence between logical hierarchy and physical hierarchy, and vertical migration. Implementation of monitors in firmware and architectural support for it are discussed, and a sample system is shown. Architectural support for user microprogramming is then discussed and an example is shown. After a total system firmware structure is discussed, an experiment of vertical migration is described. It is shown that a proper selection of modules for migration is extremely important. It is suggested that the direction shown in this paper is one of future directions of computer systems.

Extraction of proteins from the large subunit of bovine mitochondrial ribosomes under nondenaturing conditions. (1982)

The 55 S mammalian mitochondrial ribosome (referred to hereafter as "mitoribosome") is protein-rich, containing nearly twice as much protein as the Escherichia coli ribosome. In order to produce soluble mitochondrial proteins and protein-deficient subribosomal particles for use in functional and structural studies, the proteins of bovine mitoribosomes were extracted by washing in a series of buffers containing increasing concentrations of LiCl as the only chaotropic agent. LiCl disruption is used in order to preserve the solubilized proteins in a substantially "native" configuration. The extraction mixtures were characterized by sucrose density gradient analysis and the compositions of the stripped protein and residual pellet fractions were determined by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In order to analyze the behavior or individual proteins, the intensity of Coomassie blue stain for each protein was normalized against the intensity of stain for the same protein in a control sample. Buffers with 1, 2, and 4 M LiCl each extract a specific subset of mitoribosomal proteins, while another group of proteins remains in the residual pellet fraction. Although very few proteins are detected in only one condition, most proteins are specifically enriched in one fraction. This LiCl procedure, therefore, produces fractionated groups of mitoribosomal proteins which can be used directly as a source for those proteins in which they are enriched, or they can be used as a starting point in further purification procedures. In contrast to results with E. coli ribosomes, several mitoribosomal proteins remain core-associated, indicating a different structural organization in these ribosomes.
Modified L-type eloran transmitting antenna for co-location with an AM antenna (2016)

The modified L-type eLoran (enhanced Long Range Navigation) transmitting antenna is proposed for co-location with an AM transmitting antenna in a limited area. To compensate for the loading effect, the inverted L-type antenna is modified by adding the umbrella-type loading. The AM antenna is co-located with the radiator part and the loading part of the proposed antenna. The simulation results of the eLoran antenna show 1.4 kHz bandwidth and 32.5% radiation efficiency. Also, the validity of the co-location between the AM antenna and the eLoran antenna is verified through the simulation results of the radiation pattern and the antenna coupling. The proposed eLoran antenna can be used with the AM antenna in the same area.
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detector in an optical cavity for front-side illumination (2009)

We have integrated superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) with an optical cavity design for front-side illumination. Our optical cavity design increases the coupling efficiency of light to the nanowire detector and enables straightforward proximity fiber-coupling for a multichannel detector system. Using a confocal optical scanning technique, we measured a significantly enhanced optical absorptance of 73% in comparison with 20% in a typical bare nanowire device at 1550 nm and 3 K. Our method of fabrication of these devices on a silicon wafer and the local optical absorptance measurement are important steps toward developing next-generation SNSPD technology.
