Design issues for dual device learning: interactive television and mobile phone (2005)

Designers of technological support for learning have an ever-increasing selection of platforms and devices at their disposal, as desktop computers are joined by mobile phones, PDA's, laptops, games consoles, digital television and wearable devices.It is unlikely that a single technology will be a perfect fit for all aspects of a learning task.Many situations will call on the strengths of a number of devices in combination.However, distributing functionality across different devices may create new problems for interaction and interface designers more used to creating consistency and coherence within a single technology.As an example, we describe the design and development of a system that facilitates language learning from a combination of two devices, interactive television (iTV) and mobile phone, drawing on the strengths of each technology.In particular we discuss some of the user interface design issues to be considered in the context of cross platform dual device systems for ubiquitous learning.
Comparative Analysis of Electricity Consumption at Home through a Silhouette-score prospective (2019)

Machine learning is a state-of-the-art sub-project of artificial intelligence, that is been evolved for finding large-scale intelligent analytics in the distributed computing environment. In this paper, we perform comparative analytics onto dataset collected for the electricity usage of home based on the K-mean clustering algorithm using comparison to silhouette score with a ratio of 1/8 dataset. The performance evaluation shows that, the comparison index is similar in numbers of silhouette score even if dataset is smaller than before.
Deep Generative Video Compression (2018)

The usage of deep generative models for image compression has led to impressive performance gains over classical codecs while neural video compression is still in its infancy. Here, we propose an end-to-end, deep generative modeling approach to compress temporal sequences with a focus on video. Our approach builds upon variational autoencoder (VAE) models for sequential data and combines them with recent work on neural image compression. The approach jointly learns to transform the original sequence into a lower-dimensional representation as well as to discretize and entropy code this representation according to predictions of the sequential VAE. Rate-distortion evaluations on small videos from public data sets with varying complexity and diversity show that our model yields competitive results when trained on generic video content. Extreme compression performance is achieved when training the model on specialized content.
Telephone channel normalization for automatic speech recognition (1992)

The authors describe typical variabilities that are found in telephone channels and show how these variabilities impact automatic speech recognition (ASR)-system performance. They describe an algorithm, based on spectral subtraction, that compensates for these types of degradations. This algorithm can be utilized at the beginning of ASR interactions to estimate a compensation vector that improves recognition performance during the rest of the interaction. They have tested and validated the algorithm in terms of recognition performance and speed of convergence.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Implementation of robotic force control with position accommodation (1992)

As the need for robotic manipulation in fields such as manufacturing and telerobotics increases, so does the need for effective methods of controlling the interaction forces between the manipulators and their environment. Position Accommodation (PA) is a form of robotic force control where the nominal path of the manipulator is modified in response to forces and torques sensed at the tool-tip of the manipulator. The response is tailored such that the manipulator emulates a mechanical impedance to its environment. PA falls under the category of position-based robotic force control, and may be viewed as a form of Impedance Control. The practical implementations are explored of PA into an 18 degree-of-freedom robotic testbed consisting of two PUMA 560 arms mounted on two 3 DOF positioning platforms. Single and dual-arm architectures for PA are presented along with some experimental results. Characteristics of position-based force control are discussed, along with some of the limitations of PA.
Atmospheric Pressure Ionization Mass Spectrometry (1981)

Abstract Atmospheric pressure ionization (API) mass spectrometry is a novel form of mass spectrometry in which the ionization process is carried out in a reaction chamber external to the mass analyzer region. The mass analyzer serves as a device to detect positive or negative ions present in the reaction chamber, which is maintained at atmospheric pressure.
Differential Gene Expression in Primary Human Skin Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts in Response to Ionizing Radiation (2009)

Although skin is usually exposed during human exposures to ionizing radiation, there have been no thorough examinations of the transcriptional response of skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes to radiation. The transcriptional response of quiescent primary fibroblasts and keratinocytes exposed to from 10 cGy to 5 Gy and collected 4 h after treatment was examined. RNA was isolated and examined by microarray analysis for changes in the levels of gene expression. Exposure to ionizing radiation altered the expression of 279 genes across both cell types. Changes in RNA expression could be arranged into three main categories: (1) changes in keratinocytes but not in fibroblasts, (2) changes in fibroblasts but not in keratinocytes, and (3) changes in both. All of these changes were primarily of p53 target genes. Similar radiation-induced changes were induced in immortalized fibroblasts or keratinocytes. In separate experiments, protein was collected and analyzed by Western blotting for expression of proteins observed in microarray experiments to be overexpressed at the mRNA level. Both Q-PCR and Western blot analysis experiments validated these transcription changes. Our results are consistent with changes in the expression of p53 target genes as indicating the magnitude of cell responses to ionizing radiation.
Sequence‐Specific Covalent Capture Coupled with High‐Contrast Nanopore Detection of a Disease‐Derived Nucleic Acid Sequence (2017)

Hybridization-based methods for the detection of nucleic acid sequences are important in research and medicine. Short probes provide sequence specificity, but do not always provide a durable signal. Sequence-specific covalent crosslink formation can anchor probes to target DNA and might also provide an additional layer of target selectivity. Here, we developed a new crosslinking reaction for the covalent capture of specific nucleic acid sequences. This process involved reaction of an abasic (Ap) site in a probe strand with an adenine residue in the target strand and was used for the detection of a disease-relevant T→A mutation at position 1799 of the human BRAF kinase gene sequence. Ap-containing probes were easily prepared and displayed excellent specificity for the mutant sequence under isothermal assay conditions. It was further shown that nanopore technology provides a high contrast-in essence, digital-signal that enables sensitive, single-molecule sensing of the cross-linked duplexes.
Development of a Scheme and Tools to Construct a Standard Moth Brain for Neural Network Simulations (2012)

Understanding the neural mechanisms for sensing environmental information and controlling behavior in natural environments is a principal aim in neuroscience. One approach towards this goal is rebuilding neural systems by simulation. Despite their relatively simple brains compared with those of mammals, insects are capable of processing various sensory signals and generating adaptive behavior. Nevertheless, our global understanding at network system level is limited by experimental constraints. Simulations are very effective for investigating neural mechanisms when integrating both experimental data and hypotheses. However, it is still very difficult to construct a computational model at the whole brain level owing to the enormous number and complexity of the neurons. We focus on a unique behavior of the silkmoth to investigate neural mechanisms of sensory processing and behavioral control. Standard brains are used to consolidate experimental results and generate new insights through integration. In this study, we constructed a silkmoth standard brain and brain image, in which we registered segmented neuropil regions and neurons. Our original software tools for segmentation of neurons from confocal images, KNEWRiTE, and the registration module for segmented data, NeuroRegister, are shown to be very effective in neuronal registration for computational neuroscience studies.

Detrimental Effects of Aging on Outcome from Traumatic Brain Injury: A Behavioral, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Histological Study in Mice (2008)

Considerable evidence indicates that outcomes from traumatic brain injury (TBI) are worse in the elderly, but there has been little preclinical research to explore potential mechanisms. In this study, we examined the age-related effects on outcome in a mouse model of controlled cortical impact (CCI) injury. We compared the responses of adult (5–6 months old) and aged (21–24 months old) male mice following a moderate lateral CCI injury to the sensorimotor cortex. Sensorimotor function was evaluated with the rotarod, gridwalk and spontaneous forelimb behavioral tests. Acute edema was assessed from hyperintensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images. Blood–brain barrier opening was measured using anti-mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG) immunohistochemistry. Neurodegeneration was assessed by amino-cupric silver staining, and lesion cavity volumes were measured from histological images. Indicators of injury were generally worse in the aged than the adult mice. Acute edema, measured at 24 and 48 h post-injury, resolved more slowly in the aged mice (p < 0.01). Rotarod recovery (p < 0.05) and gridwalk deficits (p < 0.01) were significantly worse in aged mice. There was greater (p < 0.01 at 3 days) and more prolonged post-acute opening of the blood–brain barrier in the aged mice. Neurodegeneration was greater in the aged mice (p < 0.01 at 3 days). In contrast, lesion cavity volumes, measured at 3 days post-injury, were not different between injured groups. These results suggest that following moderate controlled cortical impact injury, the aged brain is more vulnerable than the adult brain to neurodegeneration, resulting in greater loss of function. Tissue loss at the impact site does not explain the increased functional deficits seen in the aged animals. Prolonged acute edema, increased opening of the blood–brain barrier and increased neurodegeneration found in the aged animals implicate secondary processes in age-related differences in outcome.
Maintaining the repository of search engine freshness using mobile crawler (2013)

The World Wide Web is a large repository of text documents, images, multimedia and much other information, referred to as information resources. A huge amount of fresh information is posted on the World Wide Web day by day. Web crawlers are programs that traverse the Web and download web documents in an automated manner. Search engines have to keep an up to date image to all Web pages and other web resources hosted in web servers in their index and data repositories, to provide improved and exact result to its users. The crawlers of these search engines have to retrieve the pages continuously to keep the index up to date. The list of URL is very huge and thus it is very difficult to refresh it quickly as 40% of web pages change daily. Due to which more of the network resources particularly bandwidth are consumed by the web crawlers to keep the repository up to date. This paper deals with a system based on web crawler using mobile agent. The proposed approach uses Java Aglets for crawling the web pages. The major advantages of web crawler based on Mobile Agents are that the analysis part of the crawling process is done locally at the residence of data rather than inside the remote server. This considerably reduces network load and traffic which can improve the performance and efficiency of the crawling process.
Structural similarities of the staphylococcin-like peptide Pep-5 to the peptide antibiotic nisin (1985)

The staphylococcin-like peptide Pep-5 was shown to be a complex mixture of closely related and strongly basic peptides. Five peptides were purified by high-pressure liquid chromatography on reversed-phase and gel filtration columns and further characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and amino acid analysis. Four peptides have molecular weights of ca. 3,500, whereas one is of double size. All contain the thioether amino acid lanthionine and a large number of lysine residues per molecule. The amino terminus of the main active peptide is blocked; the carboxy-terminal end is formed by a lysine residue. The data obtained for Pep-5 suggest striking structural similarities to the peptide antibiotics nisin and subtilin.
Astaxanthin Production by Haematococcus pluvialis under Various Light Intensities and Wavelengths (2001)

The key factors for high-density Haematococcus pluvialis cultures and conditions for astaxanthin induction were examined to maximize astaxanthin production. Light intensity was found to be the most important factor, and thus experiments were carried out using different light sources and intensities. A high cell density of over 2.7 g/l was obtained at 75 μE/m 2 /s. whereas a much lower cell concentration (<1.0 g/ 1) was obtained with lower light intensities (15 -30 μE/m 2 /s). A high light intensity and the supplement of 470 nm photons had a more dramatic effect on the final astaxanthin concentration and per cell astaxanthin content. A maximum astaxanthin concentration of 6.5 mg/l was obtained at a light intensity of 160 μE/m 2 /s, whereas only 1.3 and 0.7 mg/l were obtained at 30 and 15 μE/m 2 /s, respectively. A supplement of 470 nm photons enhanced the carotenoid and chlorophyll formation.
Filling the via hole of IC by VPES (vacuum printing encapsulation systems) for stacked chip (3D packaging) (2003)

The most important process for developing 3D packaging, especially wafer stacking, is studied in this paper. That is, the process of filling the via hole. Via holes need to be filled with conductive paste for connection or non-conductive paste for reliability. VPES is useful for the process of filling the paste in small via holes. And this process is also suitable for filling via holes of functional substrates and glass. Many kinds of paste (both conductive paste and nonconductive paste) were studied. It was important that the printing conditions (printing times, vacuum condition etc.) were different for each paste. Printing conditions for each paste were confirmed and the mechanisms for filling the via hole by VPES were identified. The printing conditions depend on the structure of the via hole (design, aspect ratio, diameter and depth etc.), and also the properties of the filling paste (viscosity and thixotropic index etc.).

DETAILED ANALYSIS OF 3D OCCUPANT KINEMATICS AND MUSCLE ACTIVITY DURING THE PRE-CRASH PHASE AS BASIS FOR HUMAN MODELING BASED ON SLED TESTS (2011)

Today, human models are frequently used for improvements in occupant and pedestrian protection. The models have been carefully prepared with respect to anthropometric and biomechanical validity but do not include muscle activity. Hence, primary safety issues cannot be addressed by the model, since during low loading the model is not stabilized by muscles. Therefore, the OM4IS (“Occupant Model for Integrated Safety”) project was initiated by a large consortium including scientific (Virtual Vehicle Research and Test Center, Graz University of Technology, Bundesanstalt fur Strasenwesen BASt) and industry (PDB, Bosch, Toyoda Gosei Europe, TRW, DYNAmore GmbH) to examine muscle activity from volunteer tests and implement the results in a human model. The second aim is to find movement patterns which will be integrated in the simulation to develop active restraint systems. The main focus in this project is set on two different driving maneuvers. The first one is an emergency braking maneuver the second one is a lane change maneuver. In a first step these two maneuvers were simulated with sled tests and later these maneuvers had been carried out with a real vehicle on a test track. The purpose of the sled tests was to generate first input data for the numerical simulation and to check if it is possible to measure necessary information without vehicle tests. A seat was fixed on a sled and accelerated longitudinally to simulate the emergency braking maneuver and afterwards turned by 90 degrees to simulate lateral loading. In total eleven volunteers, weight and hight correlated to the 50% male, were tested and analyzed. Kinematic analyses were performed using two different motion capturing systems, one infrared based system and one high-speed video system. Two different systems were chosen to evaluate the adaptability for vehicle tests. Additionally muscle activity was measured with surface EMG (Electromyography) for upper body muscles.First results showed a significant difference among volunteers. Repeated tests with the same volunteer showed minor differences. Movement patterns varied significantly between different tests. Detailed information concerning simulation is presented in a separate paper.

An upscaling procedure for fractured reservoirs with embedded grids (2016)

Abstract Upscaling of geological models for reservoir simulation is an active and important area of research. In particular, we are interested in reservoirs where the rock matrix exhibits an intricate network of fractures, which usually acts as a preferential path to the flow. Accounting for fractures' contribution in the simulation of a reservoir is of paramount importance. Here we have focused on obtaining effective parameters (e.g., transmissibility) on a 3‐D computational grid on the reservoir scale, which account for the presence, at a finer spatial scale, of fractures and a network of fractures. We have essentially followed the idea illustrated in Karimi‐Fard et al. (2006), yet this work has some notable aspects of innovation in the way the procedure has been implemented, and in its capability to consider rather general corner‐point grids, like the ones normally used in reservoir simulations in the industry, and complex and realistic fracture networks, possibly not fully connected inside the coarse cells. In particular, novel contribution is the employment of an Embedded Discrete Fracture Model (EDFM) for computing fracture‐fracture and matrix‐fracture transmissibilities, with a remarkable gain in speedup. The output is in the form of transmissibility that, although obtained by considering single‐phase flow, can be used for coarse‐scale multiphase reservoir simulations, also via industrial software, such as Eclipse, Intersect, or GPRS. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and computational efficiency of the numerical procedure which is now ready for further testing and industrialization.
Improving Bagasse Pulp Paper Sheet Properties with Microfibrillated Cellulose Isolated from Xylanase-Treated Bagasse (2011)

To improve the properties of paper sheets, microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) was isolated from bleached bagasse pulp pretreated with xylanase enzymes and returned to the pulp in varying amounts.The standard hand sheet paper-making method was used.The effect of adding different amounts of MFC on tensile strength (wet and dry), tear resistance, burst strength, opacity, and porosity of paper sheets was studied.Adding MFC to bagasse pulp improved wet and dry tensile strength, but tear resistance and burst strength decreased with increasing amounts of MFC.Also, adding MFC to bagasse pulp did not significantly affect opacity, slightly decreased porosity, and tightened the texture of the paper sheets as observed from scanning electron microscopy images.The strength properties of paper sheets made from bagasse and MFC were compared with those of paper sheets made from bagasse and softwood fibers.Paper sheets containing MFC had higher tensile strength (wet and dry) than those containing softwood fibers, but the later had higher tear resistance and burst strength.
Scab of Wheat and Barley (1995)

During the past 15 years, scab has severely damaged soft red winter wheat crops in several Corn Belt states, hard red spring wheat and spring barley in the Red River Valley of the northern plains, and soft white wheats in Michigan, New York, and Ontario. In Indiana, scab was a major problem in 4 of the past 10 years : 1986, 1990, 1991, and 1995. Scab is not a new disease. J. C. Arthur, the first plant pathologist at Purdue, described the disease in 1891. He said the disease was new to science but was familiar to farmers as "scab." Until the last decade, scab was regarded as a sporadic disease that might be seen only once in 1 0 or 15 years, and then only in scattered fields. It is now regarded as a chronic disease in the eastern half of the US and one of the most critical problems for production of quality wheat and barley. Development of scab is sensitive to weather. Several fungi of the genus Fusarium cause scab, but the principal pathogen is Fusarium graminearum. This fungus is a pathogen of corn (Gibberella ear and stalk rot) as well as wheat and barley. The main site for infection of wheat and barley is the anthers just after flowering. If weather is wet and warm when the crop is flowering, and there is a local source of abundant fungal inoculum, a high incidence of infection will result.
Propagation delay times of ISL and STL (1982)

Propagation delay times of high-speed VLSI candidates ISL and STL are calculated analytically. It is shown by calculations and measurements that STL is marginally faster than ISL in oxide-isolated processes, at the cost of higher process complexity. Both logic forms suffer from speed degradation due to fan-in. Measures to obtain delay times that are independent of fan-in are discussed. Fan-out aspects are also considered. It is shown that ring oscillators exhibit a somewhat better speed than logic gates that start to switch from the DC state. This speed difference is expressed in an empirical formula.
