Mobility Based Surveillance Model to Facilitate Security of Individuals -- Properties (2013)

World Wide statistics show the increasing number of properties such as cars, house, and offices, in term of production and theft attempts. There is a big international effort in research and industrial production done to develop and produce security systems, but we still in need for more improvement since the number of theft cases are still increases. The thieves become more professional and inventing powerful stealing techniques which require more effective security systems. This research project tries to solve such problem by making use of the advancement in mobility and electronic technologies to develop an effective surveillance model. The proposed model integrates both Monitoring and Tracking activities and offers effective communication and controlling with owners, security units or police. It can send email to the owner on his mobile to have fast response especially if the car is nearby. Information about the property and the picture of the intruder will be sent to user, security unit or police. This will help police or security authorities in tracking property or car using GPS system that can be link to Google Earth and other mapping software. The implementation and testing results show the success of prototype in sending email to owner and receiving acknowledgment to the security unit or police within 3-4 minutes. The timing and results are suitable to owner, security unit, or police to take suitable action against intruder.
Columbia's Grand Narrative of Contemporary Civilization. (1997)

Academics introduce a convenient but dangerous synecdoche when they take the academy to represent society at large. This funda mental misconstrual, for example, enables postmodern theorists like Jean-Francois Lyotard to ignore economic determinants, to simplify the dynamics of power, and to reduce all social relations to language games. The circumstance of the academy may be such that language games condition power and even economic relations therein, but that circumstance can shed only a certain amount of light on social relations in general: The industry neither mirrors nor parodies the and language games of the academy, and the worker may be more like the pieceworker in the sweatshop than like the researcher in the university. Of course, one might argue that, in general, researchers also lack control over the means of production. As a consequence, they might aptly be construed as knowledge workers, compa rable in many ways to information workers outside of the acad emy. The language games of researchers and the products of those games (their research) may, indeed, have a basis in social rela tions of production. Lyotard's analysis, however, neither parrots nor responds to this familiar Marxist critique. We invoke this critique simply as a reminder of alternative ex planations, not because we wish to dispute the existence of lan guage games nor the important role they play in shaping ideol
Application of the Bolton Relay Device for Thoracic Endografting In or Near the Aortic Arch (2015)

Endovascular correction of aortic arch pathology remains a challenge, with a variety of techniques proposed over the years to minimize complications and enhance the probability of a successful result. A variety of approaches have been developed in order to deal with the aortic arch pathology and its idiosyncrasies. We review potential interventional techniques for the repair of aortic arch pathologies, beginning with conventional aortic arch surgery, followed by hybrid treatments and those along the endovascular spectrum (parallel and fenestrated endografts, scalloped endografts, and ascending and new branched endografts). We finish with an overview of all the Bolton Medical (Barcelona, Spain and Sunrise, FL, USA) thoracic platforms. Endovascular techniques show acceptable results in selected cases. Both proximal Bolton Relay configurations (with and without a bare stent) offer conformability and accuracy on deployment with very low rates of stroke. Fenestrated and scalloped designs are also useful for selected cases. Ascending and branched Bolton devices are very promising platforms for a serious, full endovascular approach to the aorta.
The Effects of Voltage and Concentration of Sodium Bicarbonate on Electrochemical Synthesis of Ethanol from Carbon Dioxide Using Brass as Cathode (2017)

The effects of voltage and concentration of sodium bicarbonate were investigated to determine the optimum conditions of the electrochemical synthesis process to convert carbon dioxide into ethanol. The conversion process is carried out using a sodium bicarbonate electrolyte solution in an electrochemical synthesis reactor equipped with a cathode and anode. As the cathode was used brass, while as the anode carbon was utilized. Sample of the electrochemical synthesis process was analyzed by gas chromatography to determine the content of the compounds produced. The optimum electrochemical synthesis conditions to convert carbon dioxide into ethanol are voltage and concentration of sodium bicarbonate are 3 volts and 0.4 M with ethanol concentration of 1.33%.
Low Density Parity Check Codes Based on Finite Geometries: A Rediscovery and More (1999)

Low density parity check (LDPC) codes with iterative decoding based on belief propagation achieve astonishing error performance close to Shannon limit. No algebraic or geometric method for constructing these codes has been reported and they are largely generated by computer search. As a result, encoding of long LDPC codes is in general very complex. This paper presents two classes of high rate LDPC codes whose constructions are based on finite Euclidean and projective geometries, respectively. These classes of codes a.re cyclic and have good constraint parameters and minimum distances. Cyclic structure adows the use of linear feedback shift registers for encoding. These finite geometry LDPC codes achieve very good error performance with either soft-decision iterative decoding based on belief propagation or Gallager's hard-decision bit flipping algorithm. These codes can be punctured or extended to obtain other good LDPC codes. A generalization of these codes is also presented.

Hydrogen Dominant Metallic Alloys: High Temperature Superconductors? (2004)

The arguments suggesting that metallic hydrogen, either as a monatomic or paired metal, should be a candidate for high temperature superconductivity are shown to apply with comparable weight to alloys of metallic hydrogen where hydrogen is a dominant constituent, for example, in the dense group IVa hydrides. The attainment of metallic states should be well within current capabilities of diamond anvil cells, but at pressures considerably lower than may be necessary for hydrogen.
Multibit Programmable Flash Memory Realized on Vertical Si Nanowire Channel (2010)

In this letter, we demonstrate a multibit programmable vertical silicon nanowire (SiNW) SONOS memory using a top-down method. The flash devices realized on highly scaled squarish SiNW down to 20 nm in diagonal show much improved program/erase speed and window along with good retention and endurance characteristics as compared to the ones with a large dimension. The performance improvements with scaling of wire dimensions are attributed to the enhancement of the electric field in tunnel oxide and reduction in blocking oxide as a result of reduced radius of curvatures, particularly on the corners of the squarish wire.
FAST -TIME SIMULATION SYSTEM FOR ANALYSIS OF ADVANCED AIR TRANSPORTATION CONCEPTS (2002)

This paper describes the approach for creating a prototype modeling and simulation system that captures the interactions between key participants within the National Airspace System. The current operational paradigm for the National Airspace System has nearly reached its limits and cannot accommodate the projected increases in air travel demand. As a result, systems-engineering practices are being used to develop and evaluate candidate operational concepts for air traffic control. As these new concepts are considered, it is imperative that adequate and credible models are available to: 1) perform conceptual trade evaluations covering many issues and metrics; 2) provide detailed evaluations from many viewpoints of changes to the system prior to their implementation; and 3) conduct real-time and non-real-time analyses of system-wide performance. It is planned that an effective modeling and simulation capability, known as the Airspace Concept Evaluation System, will be achieved by improvements to existing models, as well as development of extensive new modeling capabilities. The initial effort concentrates on the development and validation of a toolbox of compatible models that can be configured to address many
Allogeneic and autologous transplantation for haematological diseases, solid tumours and immune disorders. Current practice in Europe in 1996 and proposals for an operational classification. Accreditation Sub-Committee of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT). (1996)

The indications and techniques employed for haematopoietic stem cell transplants performed in Europe differ substantially. The Accreditation Sub-Committee of the EBMT has consulted widely and has attempted to describe practice in Europe current in 1996 and in particular to define whether a particular procedure should be regarded as 'Routine' or whether it should be carried out preferably in the context of a Clinical Research Protocol or as part of a 'Developmental' pilot study. It is recognised that a classification of this kind must be imperfect and will require revision at frequent intervals.
ATM mutations in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. (1999)

Mutations in the ATM gene located on the long arm of chromosome 11 at 11q22-23 cause ataxia-telangiectasia, an autosomal recessive disorder that is associated with increased incidence of malignancy and, particularly, lymphoid tumors. A role for ATM in the development of sporadic T-cell chronic leukemias is supported by the finding of loss of heterozygosity at 11q22-23 and ATM mutations in leukemias carrying TCL-1 rearrangements. Approximately 14% of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), the most common adult leukemia, carry deletions of the long arm of chromosome 11 at 11q22-23. Loss of heterozygosity at 11q22-23 and, more recently, absence of ATM protein, have been associated with poor prognosis in B-CLL. To determine whether the ATM gene is altered in B-CLL, we have sequenced individual ATM exons in six B-CLL cases. We show that the ATM gene is mutated in a fraction of B-CLLs and that mutations can be present in the germ line of patients, suggesting that ATM heterozygotes may be predisposed to B-CLL.
Mathematical modelling of Yacyreta-Apipe scheme on the Rio Parana (1985)

The project concerns a section of approximately 200 km of the Rio Parana in Argentina. A 1 420 km2 reservoir will collect the waters of a 975.000 km2 catchment area and will store 16,900 million m3. Two spillways are designed for a flood flow of 95.000 m3/s. A compensating dam will store 2 180 Mm3 with a surface area of 800 km2. The operating discharge of the hydropower plant will be between 14.000 and 21.000 m3/s. The paper describes the project and the CARIMA flow model (design, construction, calibration, use).
The Effects of Queue Structure on Attitudes (2002)

Waiting is examined here as a psychological experience, through propositions regarding the relationship between the design of a queue and the emotions and attitudes of people waiting. Propositions are tested using a paradigm that both controls features of queue structure and allows collection of real-time data from people waiting. Data collected from 134 participants confirm that people closer to a service agent are more pleased than those further away. But people waiting in a single-queue structure are shown to feel more predictability and arousal than those waiting in a multiple-queue structure. Waiting in a multiple-queue structure is, however, shown to produce a sense of lack of justice, even when no objective inequalities exist. The study suggests a useful paradigm for evaluating alternative queue structures in a laboratory setting and provides insights about psychological aspects of waiting. Both the method and the results suggest an extensive agenda for future research.
Portable Automatic Conjecturing and Announcing System for RealTime Accident Detection (2009)

Abstract In this paper, we propose the portable automatic conjecturing and announcing system for real-time accident detection. There are six sensors with 3-axis accelerometers and the ZigBee transmission standard mounted on the patients’ specific region. After being transmitted to the mobile device through the ZigBee devices, the data are analyzed immediately. When the accident occurs, the mobile device could get the user’s location with Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) and transmit the information of accident to the medical staff through the 3rd-generation (3G) network. The medical staff will make a careful check of this accident with the patient again. In order to improve the limit of Regional Health Network (RHN), the environment constraints, the mobile computing capability, the power consumption and the device portability are considered in this system architecture we proposed.
Inference of gene regulatory networks by integrating gene expressions and genetic perturbations (2013)

To elucidate the overall relationships between gene expressions and genetic perturbations, many approaches for SNPs to be involved in gene regulatory network (GRNs) inference have been suggested. In the most of the inferences of networks named as SNP-Gene Regulatory Networks (SGRNs) inference, pairs of SNP-gene are still separately given by performing eQTL mappings but eQTLs are not identified during network constructions. In order to build a SGRN for a given set of genes and SNPs without pre-defined eQTL information, we propose a method that is based on a structural equation model. The method consists of three steps: (i) ridge regression, (ii) elastic net regression, and (iii) iterative adaptive lasso regression. In the inference, it is assumed that each gene has a single unknown eQTL. The first two steps are to remove false positive edges keeping as many true positive edges as possible, and then lastly, final edges are selected by iterative adaptive lasso regression that iteratively gives more weight to the edge whose coefficient value is relatively high. To evaluate the performance, the method is applied to data that is randomly generated from the simulated networks and parameters. The method is also applied to psychiatric disorder data. There are three main contributions in this work. First, the proposed method provides both the gene regulatory inference and the identification of eQTL that affect genes in the network. Second, the simulation result proves that an integrative approach of multiple regression methods can effectively detect true edges as well as filter false positive edges. Lastly, it is demonstrated by applying it to psychiatric disorder data that our inference without eQTL information can discover the SGRNs that partially confirms eQTLs identified by our previous work.
Event timing and shape analysis of vibration bursts from power circuit breakers (1996)

Noninvasive vibration diagnostic techniques are implemented to assess the mechanical condition of power circuit breakers. A diagnostic system, the prototype commercial portable diagnostic system (PCPDS) has been developed Hardware of the PCPDS includes a portable computer, and a data acquisition unit and computer communication cards. Signal processing techniques include the discrete energy statistics envelope, short-time power spectrum, timing extraction algorithm and chi-square based shape test. Decision-making is carried out via a voter program, to which individual results from the timing and shape analysis programs are passed. Statistical and empirical thresholds have been established, that classify the circuit breaker as being in normal-transitional-abnormal (green-yellow-red) condition.
CORRELATORS FOR SIGNAL RECEPTION (1952)

Abstract : Study was undertaken to investigate the application of correlation techniques to acoustic receiving systems. Correlators (multiplier-averagers) were analyzed and compared with detectors (rectifier-averagers) of various power laws from the standpoint of their use in signal reception systems. Comparison was made in terms of S/N ratio for the limiting case of small input S/N ratio and long averaging time. Of the various detectors, the square law appeared somewhat superior for determining the presence of a small signal in a noise background. When 2 samples of the signal in incoherent background noises were available, the correlator showed the advantage that no constant terms independent of the signal appear at its output. Analysis of 2 circuits, the polarity-coincidence and the linear rectifier correlators, showed that both of these were slightly inferior to true correlators in output S/N ratio.
Clonal expansion of CD4+ TCRbetabeta+ T cells in TCR alpha-chain- deficient mice by gut-derived antigens. (1999)

A population of CD4+ alpha-beta+ T cells increases in the mucosal and peripheral lymphoid tissues of TCRalpha-chain-deficient mice with inflammatory bowel disease. The alpha-beta+ T cells, which produce predominantly IL-4, mediate the proliferation of colonic epithelial crypts and the infiltration of large numbers of IgA-producing plasma cells into the lamina propria of the colon. To examine whether enteric Ags were recognized by a population of monoclonal alpha-beta+ T cells leading to the intestinal inflammation, we examined the usage and clonotypes of TCR expressed by the alpha-beta+ T cells in TCRalpha-chain-deficient mice with inflammatory bowel disease. Analyses of immunoprecipitates by two dimensional electrophoresis and single-cell RT-PCR revealed that TCR of the alpha-beta+ T cells was a homodimer of beta-chains that was capable of recognizing luminal bacterial Ags. PCR single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis of TCR Vbeta transcripts revealed monoclonal accumulation of the alpha-beta+ T cells in the colonic lamina propria of the diseased mice. DNA sequencing revealed the accumulation of the alpha-beta+ T cells with the same CDR3 sequences in the colon. These findings suggest that the pathogenic CD4+ alpha-beta+ T cells expressing a homodimeric form of the TCRbeta-chains can be clonally expanded upon the stimulation with gut-derived Ags.
Rapid in vitro biocompatibility assay of endovascular stents by flow cytometry using platelet activation and platelet-leukocyte aggregation (1999)

Clinical studies suggest that stent design and surface texture are responsible for differences in biocompatibility of metallic endovascular stents. A simple in vitro experimental setup was established to test stent-induced degree of platelet and leukocyte activation and platelet-leukocyte aggregation by flow cytometry. Heparin-coated tantalum stents and gold-coated and uncoated stainless steel stents were tested. Stents were implanted into silicone tubes and exposed to blood from healthy volunteers. Platelet and leukocyte activation and percentage of leukocyte-platelet aggregates were determined in a whole-blood assay by subsequent staining for activation-associated antigens (CD41a, CD42b, CD62p, and fibrinogen binding) and leukocyte antigens (CD14 and CD45) and flow cytometric analysis. Blood taken directly after venous puncture or exposed to the silicone tube alone was used as negative controls. Positive control was in vitro stimulation with thrombin receptor activating peptide (TRAP-6). Low degree of platelet activation and significant increase in monocyte- and neutrophil-platelet aggregation were observed in blood exposed to stents (P < 0.05). In addition, leukocyte activation was induced as measured by increased CD45 and CD14 expression. Heparin coated stents continuously induced less platelet activation and leukocyte-platelet aggregation than uncoated stainless steel stents of the same length and shorter stents of the same structure. Stent surface coating and texture plays a role in platelet and leukocyte activation and leukocyte-platelet aggregation. Using this simple in vitro assay and whole blood and flow cytometry, it seems possible to differentiate stents by their potency to activate platelets and/or leukocytes. This assay could be applied for improving the biocompatibility of coronary stents.
Recovering Facial Shape Using a Statistical Model of Surface Normal Direction (2006)

In this paper, we show how a statistical model of facial shape can be embedded within a shape-from-shading algorithm. We describe how facial shape can be captured using a statistical model of variations in surface normal direction. To construct this model, we make use of the azimuthal equidistant projection to map the distribution of surface normals from the polar representation on a unit sphere to Cartesian points on a local tangent plane. The distribution of surface normal directions is captured using the covariance matrix for the projected point positions. The eigenvectors of the covariance matrix define the modes of shape-variation in the fields of transformed surface normals. We show how this model can be trained using surface normal data acquired from range images and how to fit the model to intensity images of faces using constraints on the surface normal direction provided by Lambert's law. We demonstrate that the combination of a global statistical constraint and local irradiance constraint yields an efficient and accurate approach to facial shape recovery and is capable of recovering fine local surface details. We assess the accuracy of the technique on a variety of images with ground truth and real-world images
