Stored Procedures (2012)

Almost every database has one thing in common: they all use tables to store data. In this chapter, I’ll present recipes that demonstrate table creation and manipulation. Tables are used to store data in the database, and they are the central unit upon which most SQL Server database objects depend. Tables are uniquely named within a database and schema and contain one or more columns. Each column has an associated data type that defines the kind of data that can be stored within it.
Advanced analysis of copper X‐ray photoelectron spectra (2017)

Chemical state X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis of copper species is challenging because of the complexity of the 2p spectra resulting from shake‐up structures for Cu(II) species and overlapping binding energies for Cu metal and Cu(I) species. This paper builds upon and extends previously published X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy curve‐fitting and data analysis procedures for a wide range of copper containing species. Steps undertaken include the following: (i) an examination of existing Cu 2p 3/2 main peak and Cu 2p 3/2 – Cu L 3 M 4,5 M 4,5 Auger parameter literature data, (ii) analysis of a series of quality standard samples, (iii) curve‐fitting procedures for both the Cu 2p 3/2 and the Cu L 3 M 4,5 M 4,5 spectra (as well as associated anions), (iv) calculations that determine the amount of Cu(II) species in a mixed oxidation state system, (v) calculations and necessary data for thin film mixed oxide/hydroxide thickness measurements, and (vi) a presentation of literature and standard sample values in a Wagner (chemical state) plot.

ERK1/2 MAP kinases promote cell cycle entry by rapid, kinase-independent disruption of retinoblastoma–lamin A complexes (2010)

As orchestrators of essential cellular processes like proliferation, ERK1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase signals impact on cell cycle regulation. A-type lamins are major constituents of the nuclear matrix that also control the cell cycle machinery by largely unknown mechanisms. In this paper, we disclose a functional liaison between ERK1/2 and lamin A whereby cell cycle progression is regulated. We demonstrate that lamin A serves as a mutually exclusive dock for ERK1/2 and the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein. Our results reveal that, immediately after their postactivation entrance in the nucleus, ERK1/2 dislodge Rb from its interaction with lamin A, thereby facilitating its rapid phosphorylation and consequently promoting E2F activation and cell cycle entry. Interestingly, these effects are independent of ERK1/2 kinase activity. We also show that cellular transformation and tumor cell proliferation are dependent on the balance between lamin A and nuclear ERK1/2 levels, which determines Rb accessibility for phosphorylation/inactivation.
The reading interests of high school pupils. (1916)

This paper presents the results of an attempt to ascertain what reading is done by high school pupils.In order to arrive at a basis for the investigation a preliminary list was first drawn up, including authors and works which it was thought young people would be likely to read.This list was submitted to a class of college freshmen with the request that they check all the works that the}' had read and indicate any other reading not found on the list.From these results a final list was prepared containing all the authors and all the separate works mentioned by as much as twentj r per cent, of the students.This list contained the names of one hundred and ten authors, and eeventy-nine of their books were listed specifically by title.Below the name of each author a space was left for the inclusion of other works than those mentioned, and at the end of the paper there were thirty-four blank spaces for an account of additional reading.To the left of the column of authors' names were three blank columns, in which the student was requested to indicate for each book whether the reading was done before the entrance to high school, or during the high school course, and whether the reading was required or not.To the right of the authors' names were six columns to indicate the degree of liking; that is, whether it was a favorite book, whether the reader liked it fairly well, disliked it, re-read it, would like to re-read it, or whether it was only partially read.In another column, the students were asked to indicate their reasons for liking or disliking the books.These papers were distributed among the pupils of the Austin High School with the instructions that they were to be filled out and returned after an interval of two days.About sixty-five per cent. of those distributed were returned.Some of them were filled out fully, others only in part; a few had to be rejected on account of insufficient date.A total of four hundred and forty replies were finally included in the report, representing one hundred and sixty-five boys, and two hundred and seventy-five girls.The results for boys and girls were tabulated separately, and separate tabulations were made (30)
Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Haemophiliacs Infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (1993)

Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can result in several cardiac abnormalities including dilated cardiomyopathy. These phenomena have been described in people contracting the virus through sexual intercourse, injection drug use and by vertical transmission. We have identified recently two Scottish haemophiliacs who have developed dilated cardiomyopathy in the context of HIV infection acquired through treatment with contaminated factor VIII. The significance of this finding is discussed.
Second generation PFBC system research and development: Phase 2, Topping combustor development (1992)

The use of a Circulating Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustor (CPFBC) as the primary combustion system for a combustion turbine requires transporting compressor air to the CPFBC and vitiated air/flue gas back to the turbine. In addition, the topping combustion system must be located in the returning vitiated airflow path. The conventional fuel system and turbine center section require major change for the applications. The selected arrangement, which utilizes two topping combustor assemblies, one on each side of the unit, is shown in Figure 1. Half of the vitiated air from the CPFBC enters an intemal plenum chamber in which topping combustors are mounted. Fuel gas enters the assembly via the fuel nozzles at the head end of the combustor. Combustion occurs, and the products of combustion are ducted into the main shell for distribution to the first-stage turbine vanes. Compressor discharge air leaves the main shell, flowing around the annular duct into the adjacent combustion shells. The air flows around the vitiated air plenums and leaves each combustion assembly via nozzles and is ducted to the CPFBC and carbonizer. Because the air entering the combustor is at 1600{degrees}F rather than the 700{degrees}F usual for gas turbines, the conventional type of combustor is not suitable. Both emissions and wall cooling problems preclude the use of the conventional design. Therefore, a combustor that will meet the requirements of utilizing the higher temperature air for both wall cooling and combustion is required. In selecting a combustor design that will withstand the conditions expected in the topping application, the effective utilization of the 1600{degrees}F air mentioned above could satisfy the wall cooling challenge by maintaining a cooling air layer of substantial thickness.
Defect Engineering of 2D Materials for Electrochemical Energy Storage (2020)

Abstract With the increasing demands for current clean energy technologies, researchers are paying more and more attention to the full utilization of energy storage devices. However, the development of energy storage technologies is still limited by different technical challenges that need to be well addressed. Owing to the high specific surface area, ultrahigh carrier mobility and excellent mechanical flexibility, 2D materials have shown prominent superiorities for a wide range of energy storage applications. For 2D materials, a series of intrinsic deficiencies such as comparatively low conductivity, sparse electroactive sites, and poor reversibility have been found to restrict their further applications in real devices. In particular, 2D materials could be further defectively engineered to achieve a meaningful breakthrough in further improving the power performance and cycle life that satisfies the industrial demands. For a comprehensive clarify of the defect effects, this review summarizes the controllable strategies to generate defects in 2D materials, along with various characterizations and applications to identify the mechanisms of defects on the improvement of electrochemical performance. Finally, future directions of defects engineering design and application prospects of defective 2D materials are provided.
Diamond for High Power / High Temperature Electronics (2004)

Diamond is a wide bandgap semiconductor with extremely attractive properties but also many technological difficulties. Doping is restricted to deep impurities and substrate size is very limited. Nevertheless in proof of concept experiments, the potential for high power, high temperature and high frequency applications can already well be estimated. In addition, first passive MEMS elements for advanced circuit applications have also been demonstrated, however still on nano-crystalline material, which is available with large surface area. Thus it is already possible to discuss an integrated systems approach when single crystal substrates in wafer size become available.

Depth-based real time head pose tracking using 3D template matching (2012)

In this paper, we propose a system to estimate head poses only using depth information in real-time. An optimization method based on 3D model fitting is developed. We iteratively minimize the distance between source and target point clouds of a user's head. The method give fully real-time responses (30fps) without the GPU speedup. We adopt a commodity depth sensor named Microsoft Kinect as well as Asus Xtion, and use the depth image as the only input so that our system will not be affected by illumination variations. However, the simplicity of this acquisition device comes at the cost of frequent noises in the acquired data. We demonstrate that 6 degrees of freedom real-time head motion tracking in 3D space can be achieved with such noisy depth data.
Metal chelating resins by condensation of ethylene diamine withp-dichloromethyl benzene (1996)

Polycondensation of ethylene diamine with p-dichloromethyl benzene in different molar ratios (0.8–1.5) gives mostly crosslinked polymers. These resinous polymers are water-compatible and have moderate swelling ability (swelling rate 1.6–20) in water depending on the pH of the solutions. The free amine state of the resinous polymers are capable of chelating with various transition-metal ions such as Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II), even in very low concentrations. Due to rapid complexation, high metal binding capacity, and ease of regenerability, these resins can be useful for the removal and recovery of transition-metal ions from water solutions. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
NEWER REPOSITORY PENICILLIN PRODUCTS (1948)

Buckwalter and Dickison 1 recently reported a new repository type of penicillin product. 2 They introduced the principle of suspending penicillin salts in peanut oil gelled with aluminum stearates, water repellent substances. They compared the absorption-delaying properties of this vehicle with the conventional repository vehicles in animals. The study recorded here was designed to carry this comparison further—in human subjects. The facilities of four assay laboratories were used, and assays were performed by two different methods, a modified Rammelkamp method and a cup plate procedure employing Sarcina lutea. Control samples of blood were drawn before the injection; each patient then received 300,000 units of penicillin in repository form, and consecutive samples of blood were taken at the intervals indicated on the chart. The lines on the chart are the lines fitted by the method of least squares to the logarithm of the average blood concentration with time in hours. Table
End-Hall ion source (1987)

The end-Hall ion source has been developed for high-current, low-energy ion-beam applications. Beam currents up to 1 A have been obtained at mean ion energies of 30–120 eV, using Ar, Kr, or O2. The end-Hall source should be useful in applications where large currents of low-energy ions are used in conjunction with thin-film deposition to increase adhesion, modify stress, increase density or hardness, produce a preferred orientation, or improve step coverage. It should also be useful for reactive etching. It is suited for use in a production environment because it is simple, mechanically rugged, and reliable.
FTIR analysis of the organics in IDPs: Comparison with the IR spectra of thediffuse interstellar medium (2005)

We have analyzed seven interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) using an infrared microscope with the aim of comparing the 3.4 μm feature to the same feature observed in the diffuse interstellar medium (DISM) and of searching for additional absorption features due to organic matter. We have developed an in situ extraction method based on the etching of the silicate phases with hydrofluoric acid, which allowed a better detection of the organic fraction. Six out of the seven particles studied present a well resolved 3.4 μm feature corresponding to aliphatic chains. Some of these particles also present a carbonyl group around 1700 cm-1 due to ketone and, probably also, carboxylic acid compounds. Here we report the first determination of the column densities of the aliphatic and aromatic fractions in IDPs, as well as other functional groups. With the asymmetric CH3 and CH2 column densities we calculated the CH2/CH3 ratios of the IDPs. The average ratio (CH2/CH) is clearly larger than the one measured for the DISM (2.2), indicating that the aliphatic chains in IDPs are longer (or less ramified) than in the DISM. The 3.4 μm feature of IDPs is significantly narrower than in the DISM, which suggests that the aliphatic fraction in IDPs is made of relatively simpler and less ramified compounds. We conclude that the carbonaceous compounds found in these IDPs have been formed or evolved in a different environment from the DISM.
Study on Construction of Student Work Groups in China’s Colleges Based on Dissipative Structure Theory (2014)

This paper aims to study the student work groups in China’s colleges on the basis of the dissipative structure theory. It attempts to analyze the features of development from the perspective of a dissipative system theory, take such measures as reducing entropy and increasing negative entropy to ensure the stability of system of the student work groups, and propose approaches to developing sustainable student work groups. The specific approaches include clarifying roles and responsibilities of workers, developing scientific mechanisms for assessment and rewards and penalty, designing rational mechanisms for personnel selection, building platforms for enhancing the overall quality of student work groups, improving their research capabilities, and promoting the process of being specialized and expertized.
A Machine Learning Approach to Predicting Coverage in Random Wireless Networks (2018)

There is a rich literature on the prediction of coverage in random wireless networks using stochastic geometry. Though valuable, the existing stochastic geometry-based analytical expressions for coverage are only valid for a restricted set of oversimplified network scenarios. Deriving such expressions for more general and more realistic network scenarios has so far been proven intractable. In this work, we adopt a data-driven approach to derive a model that can predict the coverage probability in any random wireless network. We first show that the coverage probability can be accurately approximated by a parametrized sigmoid-like function. Then, by building large simulation-based datasets, the relationship between the wireless network parameters and the parameters of the sigmoid-like function is modeled using a neural network.
DCQCN+: Taming Large-Scale Incast Congestion in RDMA over Ethernet Networks (2018)

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) gains growing popularity in datacenter networks. The state-of-the-art congestion control scheme is DCQCN. However, DCQCN has performance problems when large-scale incast communication happens. DCQCN uses fixed period and steps for rate increase when probing for available bandwidth and this scheme is not scalable. Our key insight is that: senders should be aware of the scale of each incast, so that they can adjust their aggressiveness accordingly. The challenges come from different aspects. The scale of congestion is not easy to estimate while the control scheme should be cautiously designed. In this paper, we propose DCQCN+ to improve performance for large-scale incast congestion in RDMA networks. DCQCN+ adapts the rate control mechanisms to different scenarios. DCQCN+ can deal with incast congestion of at least 2,000 flows both in simulation and testbed. The scale is 10 times larger than that of DCQCN in simulation and 4 times larger in testbed. DCQCN+ also has 10 times smaller latency.
Regional Left Ventricular Myocardial Contractility and Stress in a Finite Element Model of Posterobasal Myocardial Infarction (2011)

Recently, a noninvasive method for determining regional myocardial contractility, using an animal-specific finite element (FE) model-based optimization, was developed to study a sheep with anteroapical infarction (Sun et al., 2009, "A Computationally Efficient Formal Optimization of Regional Myocardial Contractility in a Sheep With Left Ventricular Aneurysm," ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 131(11), p. 111001). Using the methodology developed in the previous study (Sun et al., 2009, "A Computationally Efficient Formal Optimization of Regional Myocardial Contractility in a Sheep With Left Ventricular Aneurysm," ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 131(11), p. 111001), which incorporates tagged magnetic resonance images, three-dimensional myocardial strains, left ventricular (LV) volumes, and LV cardiac catheterization pressures, the regional myocardial contractility and stress distribution of a sheep with posterobasal infarction were investigated. Active material parameters in the noninfarcted border zone (BZ) myocardium adjacent to the infarct (T(max_B)), in the myocardium remote from the infarct (T(max_R)), and in the infarct (T(max_I)) were estimated by minimizing the errors between FE model-predicted and experimentally measured systolic strains and LV volumes using the previously developed optimization scheme. The optimized T(max_B) was found to be significantly depressed relative to T(max_R), while T(max_I) was found to be zero. The myofiber stress in the BZ was found to be elevated, relative to the remote region. This could cause further damage to the contracting myocytes, leading to heart failure.
Feature transfer and matching in disparate stereo views through the use of plane homographies (2003)

Many vision tasks rely upon the identification of sets of corresponding features among different images. This paper presents a method that, given some corresponding features in two stereo images, matches them with features extracted from a second stereo pair captured from a distant viewpoint. The proposed method is based on the assumption that the viewed scene contains two planar surfaces and exploits geometric constraints that are imposed by the existence of these planes to first transfer and then match image features between the two stereo pairs. The resulting scheme handles point and line features in a unified manner and is capable of successfully matching features extracted from stereo pairs that are acquired from considerably different viewpoints. Experimental results are presented, which demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method compares favorably to that of epipolar and tensor-based approaches.
Avoiding Data Inconsistency in Energy Harvesting Powered Embedded Systems (2018)

Energy harvesting is becoming a favorable alternative to power future generation embedded systems, as it is more environmentally and user friendly. However, energy harvesting powered embedded systems suffer from frequent execution interruption due to unstable energy supply. To tackle this problem, nonvolatile memory has been deployed to save the whole volatile state for computation. When power resumes, the processor can restore the state back to volatile memories and continue execution. However, without careful consideration, the process of checkpointing and resuming could cause inconsistency between volatile and nonvolatile memories, which leads to irreversible errors. In this article, we propose a consistency-aware adaptive checkpointing scheme that ensures correctness for all checkpoints. The proposed technique efficiently identifies all possible inconsistency positions in programs and inserts auxiliary code to ensure correctness by offline analysis. In addition, adaptive checkpointing assisted register file profiling and online tracking techniques further reduce the overhead of each checkpoint. Evaluation results show that the proposed checkpointing strategy can successfully eliminate inconsistency errors and greatly reduce the checkpointing overhead.
