A human-automation interaction approach to the evaluation of resource allocation strategies in adaptive distributed sensor networks (2010)

How to design and to evaluate adaptive distributed sensor networks with respect to end user decision making is an important topic in human-automation interaction. This study evaluates four resource allocation strategies (static automation, adaptive sensing, mixed-initiative control, and control incorporating end user task analytic information) in a simulated prototype weather sensor network. Performance of each sensor network resource allocation strategy was assessed with measures of sensor coverage quality over a target geographic region of interest. Coverage measures calculated from the number of radar nodes, tilts and cycles were derived for partial (radar scan touches at least part of the analysis region) and complete coverage of the region by single and multiple (two or more) radars. Single and multi-radar coverage area scores were also derived from the cumulative fraction of the analysis regions area that was scanned. Using three weather scenarios, results show that static automation significantly outperforms the other strategies in all cases using measures of single and multi-radar complete coverage and for a uniformly distributed weather event using single and multi-radar coverage scores. Otherwise the three strategies outperform static automation. As the performance of resource allocation strategies are sensitive to the weather events themselves as well as the measures used to evaluate them, the design of next generation of algorithms should consider these performance distinctions.

Cross-library API recommendation using web search engines (2011)

Software systems are often built upon third party libraries. Developers may replace an old library with a new library, for the consideration of functionality, performance, security, and so on. It is tedious to learn the often complex APIs in the new library from the scratch. Instead, developers may identify the suitable APIs in the old library, and then find counterparts of these APIs in the new library. However, there is typically no such cross-references for APIs in different libraries. Previous work on automatic API recommendation often recommends related APIs in the same library. In this paper, we propose to mine search results of Web search engines to recommend related APIs of different libraries. In particular, we use Web search engines to collect relevant Web search results of a given API in the old library, and then recommend API candidates in the new library that are frequently appeared in the Web search results. Preliminary results of generating related C# APIs for the APIs in JDK show the feasibility of our approach.
Controlling State Advertisements of Non-negotiated LDP Applications (2015)

There is no capability negotiation done for Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) applications that set up Label Switched Paths (LSPs) for IP prefixes or that signal point-to-point (P2P) Pseudowires (PWs) for Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (L2VPNs). When an LDP session comes up, an LDP speaker may unnecessarily advertise its local state for such LDP applications even when the peer session is established for some other applications like Multipoint LDP (mLDP) or the Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP). This document defines a solution by which an LDP speaker announces to its peer its disinterest in such non-negotiated applications, thus disabling the unnecessary advertisement of corresponding application state, which would have otherwise been advertised over the established LDP session.

Ammonia hardening of porous silica antireflective coatings (1994)

The adhesion of sol-gel antireflective porous silica coatings on vitreous optical substrates has been dramatically improved by exposure to ammonia vapors or a dip in basic solutions. The approximately 70 to 270-nm thick coatings consisted of monolayers of spherical, 20-nm diameter amorphous silica particles deposited from ethanolic colloidal suspensions by conventional liquid coating techniques. Although, the as-deposited coatings had only low adhesion and were easily damaged when cleaned by standard drag-wiping procedures, coatings exposed over 5 hours to ammonia vapors passed both adhesive-tape and moderate abrasive- resistance tests. The increase in strength was accompanied by a roughly 20% shrinkage of the original coating thickness but the antireflective properties were retained. Our explanation of this chemical effect is a base-catalyzed phenomenon leading to surface silanol condensation and hydrogen-bonding of neighbor silica particles. In addition, since this basic treatment enhanced the laser damage resistance, such strengthened antireflective coatings have been successfully evaluated on flashlamps used on Phebus, Europe's most powerful laser. This allows an increase of the laser-disk pumping efficiency.
Nitric Oxide and Cardiac Function (2003)

Nitric oxide (NO) is produced from virtually all cell types composing the myocardium and regulates cardiac function through both vascular-dependent and -independent effects. The former include regulation of coronary vessel tone, thrombogenicity, and proliferative and inflammatory properties as well as cellular cross-talk supporting angiogenesis. The latter comprise the direct effects of NO on several aspects of cardiomyocyte contractility, from the fine regulation of excitation-contraction coupling to modulation of (presynaptic and postsynaptic) autonomic signaling and mitochondrial respiration. This multifaceted involvement of NO in cardiac physiology is supported by a tight molecular regulation of the three NO synthases, from cellular spatial confinement to posttranslational allosteric modulation by specific interacting proteins, acting in concert to restrict the influence of NO to a particular intracellular target in a stimulus-specific manner. Loss of this specificity, such as produced on excessive NO delivery from inflammatory cells (or cytokine-stimulated cardiomyocytes themselves), may result in profound cellular disturbances leading to heart failure. Future therapeutic manipulations of cardiac NO synthesis will necessarily draw on additional characterization of the cellular and molecular determinants for the net effect of this versatile radical on the cardiomyocyte biology.
Reduced mortality in small premature infants treated at birth with a single dose of synthetic surfactant (1991)

A randomized controlled trial of Exosurf Neonatal, a synthetic exogenous surfactant, was performed. Exosurf was given to premature infants weighing 700-1350 g, by instillation down the endotracheal tube during mechanical ventilation, within 1 h of birth. Control infants were treated with air. Dose administration was performed in secrecy by clinicians who maintained the blind for 2 years. A total of 109 infants received air and 109 received Exosurf; 19 infants with congenital pneumonia or major malformations were excluded from the primary efficacy analysis. By the age of 28 days there were 14 deaths in the air group and 4 deaths in the Exosurf group, a 69% reduction with Exosurf (P = 0.020). Survival without bronchopulmonary dysplasia at the age of 28 days was significantly improved by 15% (P = 0.050). By the age of 1 year post-term there were 19 deaths in the air group and 10 deaths in the Exosurf group, a 42% reduction with Exosurf (P = 0.104). There were no significant changes in the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, pulmonary air leaks, intraventricular haemorrhage, patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis or infection. The reduction in mortality indicates important results in high risk premature infants treated soon after birth with a single dose of Exosurf.

Flame-Resistant Cotton Fabrics: An Emulsion Treatment Using an Organic Phosphorus- Bromine Polymer (1955)

Flame-resistant cotton fabrics have been prepared by treatment of the fabric with an aqueous emulsion of an organic polymer, prepared from bromoform and triallyl phosphate. The finish is durable to repeated laundering, and when applied with proper plasticization to fabrics of 8-9-oz weight does not materially change other textile properties. The treatment may be applied on conventional textile finishing equipment.
Frequency-Domain Interchip Interference Cancelation for DS-CDMA Downlink Transmission (2007)

The use of frequency-domain equalization (FDE) based on minimum-mean-square-error criterion can significantly improve the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of orthogonal multicode direct-sequence code-division multiple access downlink signal transmission in a frequency-selective fading channel. However, the presence of residual interchip interference (ICI) after FDE produces the orthogonality distortion among the spreading codes, and the BER performance degrades as the number of multiplex order increases. In this paper, we propose a frequency-domain ICI cancellation scheme, in which the residual ICI replica in the frequency domain is generated and subtracted from each frequency component of the received signal after FDE. Three types of ICI cancelation scheme are presented, and the effectiveness of the proposed ICI cancelation scheme is confirmed by computer simulation
Exploiting infertility vs. Natural procreative medicine (2012)

We've heard it happening more than once. A couple uses IVF to fall pregnant then later down the track they conceive naturally. Confusing, right? Aren't they supposed to be infertile? Isn't that why people request this invasive and expensive procedure in the first place? Well, a recent study shows that more than 40% of women aged between 28 and 36 years that report having a history of infertility achieved subsequent births without using any form of reproductive assistance1. Which raises the question, what does it mean to be infertile?
Learning Rules that Classify E-Mail (1996)

Two methods for learning text classifiers are compared on classification problems that might arise in filtering and filing personal e-mail messages: a &quot;traditional IR&quot; method based on TF-IDF weighting, and a new method for learning sets of &quot;keyword-spotting rules&quot; based on the RIPPER rule learning algorithm. It is demonstrated that both methods obtain significant generalizations from a small number of examples; that both methods are comparable in generalization performance on problems of this type; and that both methods are reasonably efficient, even with fairly large training sets. However, the greater comprehensibility of the rules may be advantageous in a system that allows users to extend or otherwise modify a learned classifier. Introduction Perhaps the most-discussed technical phenomenon of recent years has been the rapid growth of the Internet---or more generally, the rapid growth in the number of on-line documents. This has led to increased interest in intelligent methods for ...

NK-1 and NK-3 type tachykinin receptor mRNA expression in the rat spinal cord dorsal horn is increased during adjuvant or formalin- induced nociception (1994)

Substance P (SP) and other related tachykinins such as neurokinin B (NKB) have been studied widely as mediators of sensory information. The release of SP into the dorsal horn of the spinal cord is increased during nociception, and SP activates nociception-specific dorsal horn neurons. The tachykinin NKB has antinociceptive effects in the spinal cord and is contained in intrinsic spinal neurons; thus, NKB may also contribute to the processing of sensory information. Both neurokinin-1 (NK-1) and neurokinin-3 (NK-3) receptors have been localized in the superficial laminae of the dorsal horn. This study investigated changes in NK-1 and NK-3 receptor mRNA expression during nociception. Following injection of either formalin or complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) into one hindpaw, the levels of expression of NK-1 and NK-3 mRNAs in the spinal cord dorsal horn and preprotachykinin (PPT) mRNA expression in the lumbar dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were quantitated using solution hybridization-nuclease protection assays. Peptide and receptor mRNA expression levels were normalized to beta-actin mRNA levels, which did not change during the treatments. Formalin (2 or 6 hr) or CFA (4 d) injection produced approximately a twofold increase in SP-encoding PPT mRNA expression in the ipsilateral lumbar DRG. Increased activity in primary afferent neurons containing SP may stimulate the production of SP precursors, providing substrate for increased SP production, release, and turnover in the dorsal horn and periphery.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Immunohistochemical expression and distribution of alpha2beta1, alpha6beta1, alpha5beta1 integrins and their extracellular ligands, type IV collagen, laminin and fibronectin in palmar fibromatosis. (1997)

Palmar fibromatosis is characterized by changes in the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and re-organization of the interactions between cellular and extracellular compartments. We compared the expression and distribution of alpha2beta1, alpha6beta1, alpha5beta1 integrins and their corresponding extracellular ligands, type IV collagen, laminin and fibronectin in palmar fibromatosis nodules from 24 patients. Depending on the degree of cellularity and fibrosis, three different histologic phases were identified: proliferative, involutional, and residual. Immunohistochemistry revealed that only stromal cells of the highly cellular areas of both proliferative and involutional phases were myofibroblasts, as demonstrated by their cytoplasmic positivity for alpha-smooth-muscle actin. The ECM, surrounding these cells, was strongly and diffusely positive to type IV collagen, laminin and fibronectin, whereas no immunoreactivity was found in the ECM of the fibrotic and hypocellular areas of both involutional and residual phases. Immunostaining for alpha2beta1, alpha6beta1 and alpha5beta1 integrins revealed that alpha5beta1 integrin was expressed and restricted to the myofibroblast-rich cellular areas, whereas no expression was detected for alpha2beta1 and alpha6beta1 integrins. By examining serial sections, a co-localization of alpha5beta1 integrin and fibronectin was observed in the myofibroblast-rich cellular areas, indicating that, in palmar fibromatosis, a co-ordinate expression between cellular and extracellular ligand is detected only for the alpha5beta1 integrin/fibronectin complex. These findings suggest that the alpha5beta1 integrin/fibronectin complex may be involved in regulating the interactions between myofibroblasts and ECM in palmar fibromatosis.
Monitoring of the Recovery Process of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant from VHR SAR Images (2016)

The Mw9.0 earthquake hitting the Tohoku area on Japan's Pacific coast on March 11, 2011, triggered huge tsunamis and a Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant breakdown. Due to high radiation levels, plant damage could only be assessed from satellite images. Our study involves four very-high-resolution (VHR) TerraSAR-X/TanDEX-X SAR intensity images taken under different acquisition conditions and used to try and determine reactor building damage. Layover and radar shadow areas were specified first based on building footprint and height, then backscattering patterns in these areas were modeled by introducing sectional views of the target building. Criteria for detecting damage from individual SAR scenes were used to compare simulated backscattering patterns to actual SAR intensity images. Damage to other reactor buildings was then identified based on these criteria. Results were confirmed by comparisons to two optical VHR WorldView-2 images and ground photos.
Anodic oxide gate a-Si:H MOSFET (1983)

The first a-Si:H MOSFET having native oxide at the insulator/a-Si:H interface is reported. Anodic oxidation in the AGW electrolyte is applied to Al/a-Si:H structures to form Al2O3/native oxide/a-Si:H gate structures. Resulting FETs show typical effective mobilities of 0.02 cm2/V s after proper low-temperature annealing in H2. Anodic oxidation is thus proved to be applicable to a-Si:H device technology as a low-temperature oxidation process.
Prelining of polytetrafluoroethylene grafts with cultured human endothelial cells isolated from varicose veins. (1989)

Prelining graft material with autologous functioning endothelial cells might be one of the ultimate requirements to obtain a biocompatible surface. Accordingly, endothelial cells from stripped varicose veins were enzymatically harvested and grown on a fibronectin matrix. Proliferation was investigated in defined medium supplemented with various concentrations of endothelial cell growth supplement (ECGS) (25, up to 150 micrograms/ml) and heparin (10(-8), up to 10(-5)mol/L): optimal growth required both 150 micrograms/ml of ECGS and 10(-5)mol/L heparin. Under these conditions, cell culture achieved cell densities at a confluence of 1.2 +/- 1.1 10(5) cells/cm2 with a doubling time of 1 day. During subcultivation cultured cells consistently exhibited characteristic cobblestone morphology and immunofluorescent staining for factor VIII-related antigen, whereas prostacyclin production determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha reached 21.1 +/- 1.2 ng/10(6) cells after 15-minute stimulation with 1 U/ml of thrombin. Heparin-containing culture medium-endothelial cell interactions were particularly studied, and with iodine 125-heparin, binding was demonstrated with an apparent dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.36 +/- 0.04 mumol/L. A cold storage technique at -80 degrees C was sought, and freezed cells were used to coat in vitro polytetrafluoroethylene grafts. Protein-treated material allowed cell attachment and growth to a confluent monolayer as assayed by light and scanning electron microscopy. These data validate the feasibility of prelining grafts in vitro with autologous functioning endothelial cells. This approach may be useful in improving the performance of small-caliber vascular grafts according to prostacyclin production and surface-bound heparin of these cells.
Ceramide in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Infections and Cystic Fibrosis (2010)

Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders, at least in Western countries. Patients with cystic fibrosis exhibit many symptoms, the most important of which are chronic inflammation and bacterial infections of the lung. Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations of the cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (CFTR) gene; however, the molecular mechanisms leading to the clinical manifestations of cystic fibrosis are still unclear. Here we discuss recent findings related to the role of sphingolipids, in particular ceramide, in cystic fibrosis and the bacterial infections associated with that disease. Ceramide accumulates in the lungs of cystic fibrosis mice and causes pulmonary inflammation, infection, and cell death, events that are corrected by the genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of acid sphingomyelinase; this inhibition normalizes ceramide concentrations in murine models of cystic fibrosis. Initial clinical studies suggest that pharmacological inhibition of acid sphingomyelinase may be a novel strategy for treating patients with cystic fibrosis.

When cost containment interferes with clinical decisions. (1990)

Incentives to sparingly order diagnostic tests, make referrals to specialists, or discharge patients early, expand exposure to medical professional liability. Discharging a patient prematurely from a hospital, or denying a patient referral to a specialist because of HMO or government budgetary considerations is no defense to substandard treatment. Such accusations are difficult to defend. Not only is there the issue of negligence in denying proper care but also the conflicting interest of deriving financial profit from the denial of adequate care. This article documents these liability risks for physicians and those who seek to manage their treatment decisions.
The main indications and techniques for vascular exclusion of the liver (2003)
