The useful field of view test: a new technique for evaluating age-related declines in visual function. (1993)

Many older adults eventually experience difficulty in everyday visual activities, prompting them to consult with an eye care specialist. In some cases, a thorough examination may reveal no clinical basis for these difficulties. New techniques for evaluating age-related declines in visual function have substantiated the existence of deficits in visual attention that are not adequately captured by standard clinical measures, and which are predictive of real world problems in driving and mobility. These new techniques may serve an important function in guiding the diagnosis, and treatment of those older adults experiencing functional visual problems.
The Ising model with a transverse field. I. High temperature expansion (1971)

The Ising model (exchange constant J) with a transverse field Gamma can be regarded as a simple model of hydrogen bonded ferroelectrics and of certain magnetic systems. The transition temperature TC decreases as Gamma increases and falls to zero at a critical field Gamma C. This transition is studied in the quadratic and simple cubic lattices with nearest neighbour interactions by a power series expansion of the susceptibility at high T up to fifth order in (J/kT) to all orders in ( Gamma /kT). The coefficients are calculated by diagram counting and time ordering perturbation methods. The critical Gamma against T curve is derived and the critical exponent gamma of the susceptibility. This appears to vary smoothly with Gamma but it is argued that this is an artifact due to the use of a short series and that the critical exponents are probably independent of Gamma as long as TC remains finite but change discontinuity at TC=0.

An improved HMM(Hidden Markov Models) was proposed for text information extraction by utilizing the semanteme characteristic and structure characteristic of the text to make certain the states with characteristic.We carry on extracting the remainder states having no characteristic with the improved HMM.It can solve the problem which the recall rate and the precision rate are not high in information extraction.We have tested 100 pieces of headers of computer science paper of the data provided by the search-engine research group from CMU(Carnegie Mellon Univerisity) of USA.The result shows that the recall and precision rate are all improved compared with existing methods which are based on words and traditional HMM.Recall rate and precision rate are 91.99%and 94.79%.
Babesiosis of cattle (2004)

Tick fever or cattle fever (babesiosis) is economically the most important arthropod-borne disease of cattle worldwide with vast areas of Australia, Africa, South and Central America and the United States continuously under threat. Tick fever was the first disease for which transmission by an arthropod to a mammal was implicated at the turn of the twentieth century and is the first disease to be eradicated from a continent (North America). This review describes the biology of Babesia spp. in the host and the tick, the scale of the problem to the cattle industry, the various components of control programmes, epidemiology, pathogenesis, immunity, vaccination and future research. The emphasis is on Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina.

CloudSense: continuous fine-grain cloud monitoring with compressive sensing (2011)

Continuous fine-grain status monitoring of a cloud data center enables rapid response to anomalies, but handling the resulting torrent of data poses a significant challenge. As a solution, we propose CloudSense, a new switch design that performs in-network compression of status streams via compressive sensing. Using MapReduce straggler detection as an example of cloud monitoring, we give evidence that CloudSense allows earlier detection of stragglers, since finer-grain status can be reported for a given bandwidth budget. Furthermore, CloudSense showcases the advantage of an intrinsic property of compressive sensing decoding that enables detection of the slowest stragglers first. Finally, CloudSense achieves in-network compression via a low-complexity encoding scheme, which is easy and convenient to implement in a switch. We envision that CloudSense switches could form the foundation of a compressed status information plane that is useful for monitoring not only the cloud data center itself, but also the user applications that it hosts.
<i>LPA</i> gene: interaction between the apolipoprotein(a) size (‘kringle IV’ repeat) polymorphism and a pentanucleotide repeat polymorphism influences Lp(a) lipoprotein level (2000)

The contribution of the apo(a) size polymorphism alone to the variation in Lp(a) lipoprotein level was lower than previously reported. However, the multiplicative interaction effect between the K IV repeat polymorphism and the pentanucleotide repeat polymorphism may be an important factor explaining the variation in Lp(a) lipoprotein levels among the populations.

Phase spectrum prediction of audio signals (2012)

Modeling the phases of audio signals has received significantly less attention in comparison to the modeling of magnitudes. This paper proposes to use linear least squares and neural networks to predict phases from the neighboring points only in the phase spectrum. The simulation results show that there is a structure in the phase components which could be used in further analysis algorithms based on the phase spectrum.
Deblurring From Highly Incomplete Measurements for Remote Sensing (2009)

When we take photos, we often get blurred pictures because of hand shake, motion, insufficient light, unsuited focal length, or other disturbances. Recently, a compressed-sensing (CS) theorem which provides a new sampling theory for data acquisition has been applied for medical and astronomic imaging. The CS makes it possible to take superresolution photos using only one or a few pixels, rather than million pixels, with a conventional digital camera. Here, we further consider a so-called CS deblurring problem: Can we still obtain clear pictures from highly incomplete measurements when blurring disturbances occur? A decoding algorithm based on Poisson singular integral and iterative curvelet thresholding is proposed to correct the deblurring problem with surprisingly incomplete measurements. It permits one to design robust and practical compressed-imaging instruments involving less imaging time, less storage space, less power consumption, smaller size, and cheaper than currently used charged coupled device cameras, which effectively match the needs, particularly for probes sent very far away. It essentially shifts the onboard imaging cost to an offline recovery computational cost. Potential applications in aerospace remote sensing of the Chinese Chang'e-1 lunar probe are presented.
Compensation of nonlinear distortions in photon-counting spectral CT: deadtime loss, spectral response, and beam hardening effects (2012)

Photon counting detectors are an emerging technology for spectral computed tomography. They have the potential to improve tissue contrast and specificity, reduce dose, and enable novel applications for K-edge and functional imaging. In this presentation various non-linear distortions were investigated that affect the image quality in photon-counting spectral CT: deadtime losses and spectral response, inherent to the new technology, and beam hardening artifacts that stem from the use of a polychromatic x-ray source. These effects were corrected or compensated for by performing calibration measurements. Techniques from material decomposition were applied to reconstruct images at a desired energy. Two methods were compared to synthesize a single monoenergetic image from photon counting data with multiple energy bins. The parameters were optimized to maximize a given image quality index. The procedures were evaluated on phantom data acquired on an experimental CT scanner with photon-counting detectors with two energy thresholds.

Flexible nanoporous tunable electrical double layer biosensors for sweat diagnostics (2015)

An ultra-sensitive and highly specific electrical double layer (EDL) modulated biosensor, using nanoporous flexible substrates for wearable diagnostics is demonstrated with the detection of the stress biomarker cortisol in synthetic and human sweat. Zinc oxide thin film was used as active region in contact with the liquid i.e. synthetic and human sweat containing the biomolecules. Cortisol detection in sweat was accomplished by measuring and quantifying impedance changes due to modulation of the double layer capacitance within the electrical double layer through the application of a low orthogonally directed alternating current (AC) electric field. The EDL formed at the liquid-semiconductor interface was amplified in the presence of the nanoporous flexible substrate allowing for measuring the changes in the alternating current impedance signal due to the antibody-hormone interactions at diagnostically relevant concentrations. High sensitivity of detection of 1 pg/mL or 2.75 pmol cortisol in synthetic sweat and 1 ng/mL in human sweat is demonstrated with these novel biosensors. Specificity in synthetic sweat was demonstrated using a cytokine IL-1β. Cortisol detection in human sweat was demonstrated over a concentration range from 10-200 ng/mL.
Evaluation of Security Architecture for Wireless Local Area Networks by Indexed Based Policy Method: A Novel Approach (2008)

In this paper, we have focus existing and proposed WLAN security technologies designed to improve 802.11 standard by applying security policies. We have extensively analyzed the effect of crypto parameters over WLAN based on packet level characteristics by applying security policy to individual packet. We have also analyzed the effect of TCP and UDP traffic over our proposed WLAN test bed architecture. We found that TCP and UDP traffic behaves erratically, when policy index changes causing drastically degradation of system performance. We present a detail study of performance overhead caused by the most widely used security protocols such as WEP, IPSEC VPN and 802.1X. Furthermore, we analyze the effectiveness of such solution, based on measurement of policy indexing model implementation. Performance measurement indicates that 802.1X and VPN policy based method can be used based on the service time in future wireless systems, while it can simultaneously provide both the necessary flexibility to network operators and a high level of confidence to end users. We have coined security policy factor (SPF), which is defined as the percentage overhead in terms of bit rate caused by security policy P ϕ with respect to security policy P0. Based on SPF designer can decide there best optimized Secure WLAN infrastructure.
Production of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1 in rat brain is stimulated by intracerebroventricular administration of an endothelin ETB receptor agonist (2007)

The role of endothelin (ET)B receptors in chemokine production in the brain of rats was examined. Intracerebroventricular administration of 500 pmol/day of Ala(1,3,11,15)-ET-1, a selective ETB agonist, for 3 or 7 days increased monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)-1 mRNA in the caudate-putamen and cerebrum, whereas it had no effects on regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), fractalkine and stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1alpha mRNA expression. Immunoreactive MCP-1 and CINC-1 in the caudate-putamen and the cerebrum were increased by the ETB agonist. Immunohistochemical observations on the Ala(1,3,11,15)-ET-1-infused rats showed that glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive astrocytes had immunoreactivity for MCP-1 and CINC-1. These findings indicate that the activation of brain ETB receptors causes the production of MCP-1 and CINC-1, and suggest a pathophysiological role for brain ETB receptors in nervous system damage.
A Technique for Stabilization of Sequences of Infrared Images Taken with Hovering UAVs (2006)

This paper presents a technique based on Fourier-Mellin transform for the stabilization of sequences of infrared images taken with hovering Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The strength of the proposed technique is that relies on the global structure of the image for performing the stabilization, which is appropriate when dealing with images where it is difficult to find clear and repeatable features. The technique has been efficiently implemented for real-time application. The paper presents some experimental results that illustrate the performance of the technique.
The Major Vault Protein (MVP100) Is Contained in Cholinergic Nerve Terminals of Electric Ray Electric Organ (1996)

A protein of Mr 100,000 (MVP100) is highly enriched in the electromotor system of electric rays. Biochemical analysis indicates that MVP100 is contained in the cholinergic nerve terminals of Torpedo electric organ as part of a large cytosolic complex. On sucrose density gradient centrifugation MVP100 comigrates with synaptic vesicles or synaptosomes. It can be partially separated from synaptic vesicles by gel filtration or glycerol velocity gradient centrifugation. Within the complex MVP100 behaves like a hydrophobic protein and is protected against proteolytic attack. MVP100 can be immunodetected by an antibody against phosphotyrosine, and it becomes phosphorylated on incubation with [gamma-32P]ATP. By screening an electric ray electric lobe cDNA library the primary structure of MVP100 was analyzed. MVP100 is highly homologous to the major vault proteins of slime mold and rat and to the human lung resistance-related protein. Compared with non-neural tissues the expression of MVP100 is highest in brain and enriched in the electric lobe that contains the somata of the electromotor neurons. Immunoelectron microscopic analysis reveals a close association of MVP100 and synaptic vesicles in the nerve terminals of the electric organ.

Using active contours and Fourier descriptors for motion tracking with applications in MRI (1999)

To estimate motion, the edges of a moving object can be detected using active contours. After detecting the edges throughout the duration of the motion, the contours are registered together in order to obtain the motion model parameters. This idea can be applied to motion artifacts in Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) which are caused by patient motion during the acquisition of an MRI. Thus, if the patient motion can be determined, it will be possible to correct for the motion in the images. The proposed method eliminates motion artifacts by dividing the acquired MRI data into several subbands. These subbands create invariant tissue feature maps called subband images. Using active contours, the edges of each subband image are detected and the relative motion is analyzed across the different subband images, thus determining the motion parameters. From these motion parameters it is possible to correct the subband images, thus correcting the k-space yielding clear, noise-free MR images.
I2Navi: An Indoor Interactive Nfc Navigation System For Android Smartphones (2012)

The advancement of smartphones, wireless networking and Near Field Communication (NFC) technology have opened up a new approach to indoor navigation. Although NFC technology has been used to support electronic commerce, access control, and ticketing, there is a lack of research work on building NFC-based indoor navigation system for smartphone users. This paper presents an indoor interactive navigation system (named I2Navi) based on NFC technology for users to navigate within a building with ease using their smartphones. The I2Navi system has been implemented at the Faculty of Engineering (FOE), Multimedia University (MMU) to enable students, parents, visitors who own NFC-enabled Android smartphones to navigate themselves within the faculty. An evaluation is carried out and the results show positive response to the proposed indoor navigation system using NFC and smartphone technologies.
Tumor Necrosis Factor Blockers Influence Macrophage Responses to<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> (2008)

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is a proinflammatory cytokine that mediates inflammation in response to various pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but is also a key factor in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. Three TNF-alpha-suppressing drugs have been approved to treat selected autoimmune diseases; 2 are monoclonal antibodies against TNF-alpha (adalimumab and infliximab), and the other is a soluble TNF receptor/Fc fusion protein (etanercept). TNF blockers have been shown to increase the risk of reactivation of latent tuberculosis, and this risk is higher in patients treated with the monoclonal antibodies. We studied the effects of TNF-alpha blockers on the maturation of mycobacteria-containing phagosomes in human macrophages. All 3 drugs had an inhibitory effect on IFN-gamma-induced phagosome maturation in phorbolmyristate acetate-differentiated human THP-1 cells. Adalimumab and infliximab, but not etanercept, suppressed phagosome maturation in primary human peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages in the presence or absence of IFN-gamma. Treatment of macrophages with TNF-alpha led to increased maturation of phagosomes containing Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin or M. tuberculosis H37Rv. These results suggest a role for TNF-alpha in activating phagosome maturation and highlight a mechanism through which TNF-alpha blockade can affect the host response to mycobacteria.
Histone H1 represses transcription from minichromosomes assembled in vitro. (1989)

We have previously shown that transcription from a Xenopus 5S rRNA gene assembled into chromatin in vitro can be repressed in the absence of histone H1 at high nucleosome densities (one nucleosome per 160 base pairs of DNA) (A. Shimamura, D. Tremethick, and A. Worcel, Mol. Cell. Biol. 8:4257-4269, 1988). We report here that transcriptional repression may also be achieved at lower nucleosome densities (one nucleosome per 215 base pairs of DNA) when histone H1 is present. Removal of histone H1 from the minichromosomes with Biorex under conditions in which no nucleosome disruption was observed led to transcriptional activation. Transcriptional repression could be restored by adding histone H1 back to the H1-depleted minichromosomes. The levels of histone H1 that repressed the H1-depleted minichromosomes failed to repress transcription from free DNA templates present in trans. The assembly of transcription complexes onto the H1-depleted minichromosomes protected the 5S RNA gene from inactivation by histone H1.
Wavelet construction using Lagrange halfband filters (1991)

Using the approach described by M.J.T. Smith and T.P. Barnwell (1986) for obtaining exact-reconstruction filter banks, the authors present conjugate-quadrature and linear-phase solutions for two-channel filter banks using Lagrange halfband filters. It is shown that the wavelet solutions obtained by I. Daubechies (1988) under certain regularity conditions are the same as the conjugate-quadrature solutions derived from Lagrange halfband filters using the above approach. The linear-phase solution that is described provides filters with simple coefficients.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
