Color-mood analysis of films based on syntactic and psychological models (2005)

The emergence of peer-to-peer networking and the increase of home PC storage capacity are necessitating efficient scaleable methods for video clustering, recommending and browsing. Based on film theories and psychological models, color-mood is an important factor affecting user emotional preferences. We propose a compact set of features for color-mood analysis and subgenre discrimination. We introduce two color representations for scenes and full films in order to extract the essential moods from the films: a global measure for the color palette and a discriminative measure for the transitions of the moods in the movie. We captured the dominant color ratio and the pace of the movie. Despite the simplicity and efficiency of the features, the classification accuracy was surprisingly good, about 80%, possibly thanks to the prevalence of the color-mood association in feature films.
Population genetic studies of retinitis pigmentosa. (1980)

A questionnaire survey characterized a sample of 670 probands with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and allied disorders. Segregation analysis provided some evidence for a small proportion of sporadic cases and for decreased segregation ratios of the dominant and recessive genotypes, which could be attributed to delayed age of onset in some cases. The overall incidence of RP was indirectly calculated to be approximately 1 in 3,700, while the incidence of autosomal recessive RP, including at least two genocopies, was estimated to be about 1 in 4,450. Family data analysis included the calculation of the likelihood that each family represented autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, and X-linked inheritance patterns. These likelihoods were then converted to relative probabilities and summed over the sample population to yield estimates of the proportions of the three Mendelian types. This large, heterogeneous sample indicated that approximately 84% of the cases in the United States may be autosomal recessive, while about 10% are dominant and 6% X-linked recessive.
Sequence Stratigraphic Interpretation in the Wheeler Transformed (Flattened) Seismic Domain (2006)

A seismic interpretaion technique will be presented based on the Wheeler transform, in which stratigraphic events are plotted versus (psuedo-)geological time. We perform a chrono-stratigraphic flattening of seismic data. In the the transformation geological hiatuses and truncations are honoured. The Wheeler transformed data allows us to study seismic events in space and geological time, which is one of the key aspects of seismic sequence stratigraphic interpretation. The method to create a Wheeler transform will be explained, and examples will be provided.
Experiments in the application of neural networks to rotating machine fault diagnosis (1991)

Reports a set of experiments performed to test the ability of a backpropagation network to classify the condition of an operating desktop fan based on its vibration signature. The trained network was used to detect and classify faults commonly occurring in industrial fans, i.e. impeller unbalance and cracked impeller blade. The discussion of the experimental results raises a number of issues relating to the application of this technique to the condition monitoring of industrial fans.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Kinin cleavage by human erythrocytes (1984)

An aminopeptidase-P has been purified 230-fold from human erythrocytes. The purified enzyme cleaved arginine from des-(Arg9)-bradykinin (Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Phe-Ser-Pro-Phe) had a molecular weight in nondenaturing buffers of 155,000 +/- 6,900 daltons, was not inactivated by chelating agents, had a pH optimum of 7.2, and was stimulated by manganous ions. The aminopeptidase-P was stable in intact erythrocytes for at least 21 days. Extensively washed and intact human erythrocytes cleaved arginine from exogenously supplied des-(Arg9)-bradykinin; arginine was the earliest-appearing reaction product. Purified aminopeptidase-P also cleaved a group of X-proline dipeptides including leucyl-proline, methionyl-proline, phenylalanyl-proline, arginyl-proline, and alanyl-proline. The total intra-erythrocytic aminopeptidase-P activity of the "average 70-kg man" was 2,600 units, approximately five times the amount of activity in the total lung mass. The human erythrocyte aminopeptidase-P activity was not tightly bound to the erythrocyte membrane. Intact erythrocytes also exhibited some kinin-converting enzyme activity.
High-Temperature Creep of Pure Platinum (1996)

Creep behavior has been investigated with high purity platinum (99.999 mass%) at high temperatures from 1373K up to 1773K. Stress and temperature dependence of the creep rate has been discussed in detail by using microscopic observations and X-Ray diffraction measurements. Platinum shows the power-law creep with the stress exponent of the steady state rate of about 6. Recrystallization to bamboo-type grains from the initial polycrystalline micro-grains has been observed. In these specimens a strain burst (a sudden increase in the strain) has been detected. The occurrence of this burst depends on the concentration and kinds of minute impurities, test-temperature, applied stress, and the detailed process of the specimen preparation. The fracture mode changes from the void coalescence to the necking or shearing-off by the recrystallization. The activation energy for the steady state creep is (3.1±0.3)×105 J/mol.
<i>Acc</i>III, a new restriction endonuclease from<i>Acinetobacter calcoaceticus</i> (1985)

A new site-specific restriction endonuclease, AccIII, was isolated from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. AccIII recognizes T/CCGGA and cleaves at the position shown by the arrow. AccIII activity was inhibited by adenine methylation at the overlapping dam methylase recognition sequence.
Removal by adsorption of hydrogen sulfide by a new type of activated carbon containing nitrogen. (1983)

A new type of activated carbon containing nitrogen (No. 10) with a higher capacity for hydrogen sulfide adsorption than earlier types was prepared by impregnating raw activated carbon (No. 5) with a 20% MMU solution and then heating it at 850°C. Isotherms of hydrogen sulfide on AC-CN were obtained using a gravimetric method and at 30°C. The structure of AC-CN micropores and supermicropores has been discussed based on applying the binomial equation (3) to adsorption isotherms.Treatment with MMU solutions caused the AC-CN micropore and supermicropore radii to contract and expand, respectively. Increases of approximately 15.5% in micropore volume and decreases of approximately 22.8% in supermicropore volume for AC-CN (No. 10) probably do not result from the expansion of micropore radii but from the numerical increase of micropores due to simultaneous decreases in supermicropore volume.
Prevalence and levels of antibodies to the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium falciparum in an endemic area and their relationship to resistance against malaria infection (1988)

A study on malaria transmission, prevalence of infection and anti-sporozoite antibodies was carried out in Burkina Faso (West Africa). The prevalence and the levels of antibodies to (NANP)3 were found to be related to the entomological sporozoite inoculation rates measured at the same time in a defined area. The major inducer of anti-(NANP)3 antibody production under field conditions is sporozoite inoculation by infected mosquitoes. Levels of antibodies to (NANP)3 vary considerably with age and transmission season. High levels of anti-(NANP)3 antibodies raised under field conditions might offer protection against small inocula of sporozoites.
Characterization and Matching of Oil Samples Using Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Parallel Factor Analysis (2005)

A novel approach for matching oil samples by fluorescence spectroscopy combined with three-way decomposition of spectra is presented. It offers an objective fingerprinting based on the relative composition of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in oils. The method is complementary to GC-FID for initial screening of oil samples but can also be used for prescreening in the field, onboard ships, using a portable fluorescence spectrometer. Parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) was applied to fluorescence excitation-emission matrixes (EEMs) of heavy fuel oils (HFOs), light fuel oils, lubricating oils, crude oils, unknown oils, and a sample collected in the spill area two weeks after the Baltic Carrier oil spill (Denmark, 2001). A total of 112 EEMs were decomposed into a five-factor PARAFAC model using excitation wavelengths from 245 to 400 nm and emission wavelengths from 280 to 550 nm. The PARAFAC factors were compared to EEMs of PAC standards with two to five rings, and the comparisons indicate that each of the factors can be related to a mixture of PACs with similar fluorescence characteristics: a mixture of naphthalenes and dibenzothiophenes, fluorenes, phenanthrenes, chrysenes, and five-ring PACs, respectively. Oils were grouped in score plots according to oil type. Except for HFOs and crude oils, the method easily discriminated between the four oil types. Minor overlaps of HFOs and crude oils were observed along all five PARAFAC factors, and the variability of crude oils was large along factor 2 due to a varying content of five-ring PACs. The spill sample was correctly assigned as a HFO with similar PAC pattern as oil from the cargo tank of the Baltic Carrier by comparing the correlation coefficient of scores for the oil spill sample and possible source oils (i.e., oils in the database).
Representations of language in a model of visually grounded speech signal (2017)

We present a visually grounded model of speech perception which projects spoken utterances and images to a joint semantic space. We use a multi-layer recurrent highway network to model the temporal nature of spoken speech, and show that it learns to extract both form and meaningbased linguistic knowledge from the input signal. We carry out an in-depth analysis of the representations used by different components of the trained model and show that encoding of semantic aspects tends to become richer as we go up the hierarchy of layers, whereas encoding of formrelated aspects of the language input tends to initially increase and then plateau or decrease.
Preventive Measures of Back Muscle Injury After Posterior Lumbar Spine Surgery in Rats (1998)

During posterior lumbar spine surgery, 5-minute retraction release after 1 hour or after 40 minutes of retraction was effective in preventing severe back muscle injury after surgery.
X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy of Mn/Co/TiO<sub>2</sub>Fischer−Tropsch Catalysts:  Relationships between Preparation Method, Molecular Structure, and Catalyst Performance (2006)

The effects of the addition of manganese to a series of TiO(2)-supported cobalt Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalysts prepared by different methods were studied by a combination of X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and in situ X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy at the Co and Mn K-edges. After calcination, the catalysts were generally composed of large Co(3)O(4) clusters in the range 15-35 nm and a MnO(2)-type phase, which existed either dispersed on the TiO(2) surface or covering the Co(3)O(4) particles. Manganese was also found to coexist with the Co(3)O(4) in the form of Co(3-x)Mn(x)O(4) solutions, as revealed by XRD and XAFS. Characterization of the catalysts after H(2) reduction at 350 degrees C by XAFS and TEM showed mostly the formation of very small Co(0) particles (around 2-6 nm), indicating that the cobalt phase tends to redisperse during the reduction process from Co(3)O(4) to Co(0). The presence of manganese was found to hamper the cobalt reducibility, with this effect being more severe when Co(3-x)Mn(x)O(4) solutions were initially present in the catalyst precursors. Moreover, the presence of manganese generally led to the formation of larger cobalt agglomerates ( approximately 8-15 nm) upon reduction, probably as a consequence of the decrease in cobalt reducibility. The XAFS results revealed that all reduced catalysts contained manganese entirely in a Mn(2+) state, and two well-distinguished compounds could be identified: (1) a highly dispersed Ti(2)MnO(4)-type phase located at the TiO(2) surface and (2) a less dispersed MnO phase being in the proximity of the cobalt particles. Furthermore, the MnO was also found to exist partially mixed with a CoO phase in the form of rock-salt Mn(1-x)Co(x)O-type solid solutions. The existence of the later solutions was further confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscopy with electron energy loss spectroscopy (STEM-EELS) for a Mn-rich sample. Finally, the cobalt active site composition in the catalysts after reduction at 300 and 350 degrees C was linked to the catalytic performances obtained under reaction conditions of 220 degrees C, 1 bar, and H(2)/CO = 2. The catalysts with larger Co(0) particles ( approximately >5 nm) and lower Co reduction extents displayed a higher intrinsic hydrogenation activity and a longer catalyst lifetime. Interestingly, the MnO and Mn(1-x)Co(x)O species effectively promoted these larger Co(0) particles by increasing the C(5+) selectivity and decreasing the CH(4) production, while they did not significantly influence the selectivity of the catalysts containing very small Co(0) particles.
Deposition and properties of Mo–N films (1995)

Mo–N films were deposited on glass or silicon wafers by reactive sputtering. The growth rate, composition, microstructure, and sheet resistance of the films were analyzed and determined to be controlled by deposition power as well as by N2 partial pressure. Grain refining, which increases the sheet resistivity of Mo–N films, was observed at higher N2 partial pressure as well as at lower deposition power input. τ-Mo2N was achieved at suitable conditions. We propose that the films formed by the reaction of nitrogen and Mo atoms on the substrate surface.

Fitting Johnson curves to univariate and multivariate data (1983)

Moment matching and percentile matching are the standard methods for fitting a distribution from Johnson's translation system (the SL, S U, S B, and S N families) to a univariate data set (Johnson and Kotz 1970). One method for fitting a multivariate Johnson distribution to a vector-valued data set is to: (a) fit each marginal distribution separately with a univariate Johnson distribution; and then (b) fit a multivariate normal distribution to the transformed vectors using the sample correlation coefficients between the transformed coordinates. To make this approach numerically feasible, Wilson (1983) implemented an interactive percentile matching algorithm based on a modified Newton-Raphson procedure. When the algorithm was applied to 80 trivariate data sets arising in a large-scale policy analysis project, excessive manual intervention was required in some situations to obtain acceptable fits (Martin 1983).
Cluster-based senone selection for the efficient calculation of deep neural network acoustic models (2016)

In this paper, we propose a cluster-based senone selection method to speed up the computation of deep neural networks (DNN) at the decoding time of speech recognition. In DNN-based acoustic models, the large number of senones at the output layer is one of the main causes that lead to the high computation complexity of DNNs. Inspired by the mixture selection method designed for the Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based acoustic modeling, only a subset of the senones at the output layer of DNNs are selected to calculate the posterior probabilities in our proposed method. The senone selection strategy is derived by clustering the acoustic inputs according to their linear outputs at the top hidden layer. Experimental results show that the number of senones need to be calculated can be reduced by 63% without significant performance loss after applying our proposed method. As a result, the overall speed of the recognition process can be accelerated by 13% compared to the baseline.
Effective elastic properties of solid clays (2001)

Abstract Clay minerals are perhaps the most abundant materials in the earth's upper crust. As such, their elastic properties are extremely important in seismic exploration, seismic reservoir characterization, and sonic-log interpretation. Because little exists in the literature on elastic properties of clays, we have designed a method of measuring effective elastic properties of solid clays (clays without pores). In this method, clay minerals are mixed with a material with known elastic properties to make composite samples. Elastic properties of these clay minerals are then inverted from the measured elastic properties of the composite samples using the weighted Hashin-Shtrikman average. Using this method, we have measured 66 samples of 16 types of clays. In this paper, we present a comprehensive data set of elastic properties of solid clays that commonly occur in, or are related to, petroleum reservoirs. Although uncertainties (up to 10%) exist, the data set reported here is by far the most comprehensive set of elastic properties in the literature. These data can be used potentially in modeling the seismic properties of clay-bearing rocks.
[A randomized controlled trial of acute and delayed cisplatin-induced emesis with metoclopramide, dexamethasone and prochlorperazine]. (1987)

Forty patients with advanced lung cancer who had received chemotherapy containing cisplatin (80 mg/m2) were accrued for a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the additional effect of prochlorperazine on the combination of high-dose metoclopramide and dexamethasone for the treatment of acute cisplatin-induced emesis. The effect of intravenous metoclopramide and dexamethasone in emesis occurring more than 24 hours after cisplatin administration was also evaluated. Excellent emetic control (no emesis during 24 hours after cisplatin administration) was achieved in 70% (14/20) and 76% (16/21) of the patients who received the combination of prochlorperazine, metoclopramide and dexamethasone and the combination of metoclopramide and dexamethasone, respectively. The overall toxicities associated with both regimens were not serious and were similar. Patients treated with metoclopramide and dexamethasone on days 2-7 experienced less delayed emesis, nausea and anorexia compared with those treated with a placebo (delayed emesis, 25% versus 50%, respectively, p = 0.105; more than 4 days of nausea, 10% versus 35%, respectively, p = 0.059; less than 3 days of anorexia, 80% versus 50%, respectively, p = 0.048). It was concluded that metoclopramide and dexamethasone showed an excellent antiemetic effect on acute drug-induced emesis, as well as on delayed emesis, induced by cisplatin.

Differential Behaviour of Mycelial Growth of Several <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> Strains on either Patchoulol‐ or Globulol‐amended Media (2001)

Botrydial and dihidrobotrydial are two characteristic metabolites of the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea , which are involved in the development of necrotic lesions on grapevine and tobacco. Patchoulol and globulol, two natural products which are analogues to precursors of botrydial and dihidrobotrydial, were tested on 10 B. cinerea strains which were isolated from different hosts and varied in aggressiveness on grapevine leaves. Mycelial growth of all strains was prevented when they were grown on either patchoulol‐ or globulol‐amended malt agar media (200 μ g/ μ l). Each strain displayed a specific response pattern to those products, according to the high variability previously described for this species. Furthermore, strains were different from one another with regard to their level of aggressiveness against leaves detached from sherry grapevine vineyards.
Cell manipulation by use of diamond microparticles as handles of optical tweezers (2001)

We report the experimental results of our using irregularly shaped diamond microparticles as handles for laser tweezers. Because of their irregular optical shape, control of the rotation of diamond microparticles can easily be achieved in a gradient force optical trap by use of a fixed linearly polarized beam with a fundamental Gaussian mode. By changing the laser focal plane upon a diamond particle near the liquid surface or interfaces, one can fully manipulate both the direction and speed of the rotation. The ability to manipulate a diamond-particle-tagged biological specimen by optical tweezers is discussed. The application of these particles as handles for optical tweezers is demonstrated by optical manipulation of biological cells. Independent movement of linear translation and rotation, with controllable rotation directions and speeds, is successfully achieved.
Die intestinal‐enzymatische Spaltung von Galakto‐Oligosacchariden im Darm von Tier und Mensch mit besonderer Berücksichtigung von <i>Lactobacillus bifidus</i> 2. Mitt. Zum intestinalen Verhalten der Lactulose (1967)

Abstract Zur kausalen Aufklärung des intestinalen Verhaltens einer Reihe von Oligosacchariden (Maltose, Maltulose, Lactose, Lactulose, Saccharose, Raffinose) werden die entsprechenden Carbohydraseaktivitäten der Dünndarmmucosa von Ratte, Schwein und Mensch ermittelt. Es werden die Resorptionsraten für Lactose, Lactulose und Raffinose in Form der intakten Oligosaccharide im Versuch in vitro (Rattendarm, „everted sac”︁‐Technik) mitgeteilt. Von den genannten Sacchariden werden die Ausscheidungsraten in den Harn (24‐h‐Harn) von Erwachsenen nach peroraler Verabfolgung ermittelt. Von den getesteten Sacchariden werden die Raffinose und die Lactulose nicht bzw. nur in praktisch zu vernachlässigendem Ausmaß mucosal‐enzymatisch zerlegt. Ihr Übertritt als unzerlegte Verbindungen in die Blutbahn ist sehr gering. Daraus wird geschlossen, daß beide Saccharide bei der Verdauung im Darmlumen verbleiben, in distale Abschnitte gelangen und daselbst mikrobiell umgesetzt werden.
