Multi-level fault injection experiments based on VHDL descriptions: a case study (2003)

The probability of transient faults increases with the evolution of technologies. There is a corresponding increased demand for an early analysis of erroneous behaviors. This paper reports on results obtained with SEU-like fault injections in VHDL descriptions of digital circuits. Several circuit description levels are considered, as well as several fault modeling levels. These results show that an analysis performed at a very early stage in the design process can actually give a helpful insight into the response of a circuit when a fault occurs.
Dietary Effect of Conjugated Linoleic Acid on Lipid Levels in White Adipose Tissue of Sprague-Dawley Rats (1999)

We examined the effect of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on lipid parameters in the liver, white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) of Sprague-Dawley rats and found that it reduced the levels of triglycerides and non-esterified fatty acid in the liver and WAT without significant change in the BAT lipid levels. These results suggest that CLA has an obesity-preventing action.
Studying the effect of shading on Solar Panel using MATLAB (2012)

Renewable energy sources plays an important role in electricity generation. Various renewable energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, ocean thermal, and biomass can be used for generation of electricity and for meeting our daily energy needs. Energy from the sun is the best option for electricity generation as it is available everywhere and is free to harness. Solar Photovoltaic (PV) array converts the solar energy into electrical energy. The performance of Photovoltaic array is affected by solar isolation, shading, temperature and this will result in displacement of the Maximum Power Point(MPP). The output characteristics show the multiple maxima point. To get the maximum efficiency from Shaded Photovoltaic (PV) array, it is import to track the GPP from the various local maxima. This paper makes a study on the various Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) for Photovoltaic (PV) array. Also this paper explains the effect of change in solar isolation and temperature and shading effect on solar panel and give the steps to track GPP.
Temperature Effects on PEM Fuel Cells Pt∕C Catalyst Degradation (2007)

Operating proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells at relatively high temperatures provides benefits that include greater tolerance to CO, easier management of water, and improved efficiency of heat rejection. At the same time, the degradation of fuel cell components is accelerated at higher cell temperatures, resulting in shortened cell lifetimes. In this study, we investigated temperature effects on cathode catalyst durability. Cathode degradation was accelerated using square-wave potential cycling between 0.87 and (vs reference hydrogen electrode). More rapid degradation was observed at higher temperatures, resulting in lower performance, loss of Pt catalyst electrochemically active surface area, and deposition of Pt in the membrane. Each has been quantified at 40, 60, and . More durable catalysts with improved microstructures are needed for commercial applications of fuel cells, and alternative accelerated tests must be developed for catalyst systems operating at higher temperatures.
The Challenge of Mastitis Control (1944)

There is no doubt in the minds of many men connected with the dairy industry that bovine mastitis is the most important disease of the modern dairy cow. The problem of controlling this disease represents the biggest challenge the veterinary profession has ever had thrust upon it-a challenge even bigger than the problems of contagious pleuro-pneumonia and tuberculosis.
A modified histogram approach for accurate self-characterization of analog-to-digital converters (2003)

A new approach for measuring the INL and DNL of an A/D converter that uses histogram information is introduced. Unlike most existing algorithms, this method does not require the generation of accurate input signals so offers potential for use in a Built-in Self-Test (BIST) environment. Multiple inputs are presented to the device under test and the histograms obtained at the output are analyzed to characterize both the device and the nonlinear input. Preliminary simulation results for a 10-bit flash ADC suggest this approach can measure INL to the 0.5LSB level with a low spectral purity input signal that is linear to less than the 4-bit level.
The factorial structure of the mini mental state examination (MMSE) in Japanese dementia patients (2010)

Japanese dementia patients appear to develop difficulty handling new information in the early stages of their disease. This finding, and our finding that there is a factor associated with disease severity, suggest that understanding the specific factors related to subtest items, which underlie the total MMSE score may be useful to clinicians in planning interventions for Japanese patients in the early stages of dementia.
FEASIBILITY AND INCENTIVES FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF SPENT FUEL OPERATING HISTORIES IN THE CRITICALITY ANALYSIS OF SPENT FUEL SHIPPING CASKS (1987)

Analyses have been completed that indicate the consideration of spent fuel histories (burnup credit) in the design of spent fuel shipping casks is a justifiable concept that would result in cost savings and public risk benefits in the transport of spent nuclear fuel. Since cask capacities could be increased over those of casks without burnup credit, the number of shipments necessary to transport a given amount of fuel could be reduced. Reducing the number of shipments would increase safety benefits by reducing public and occupational exposure to both radiological and nonradiological risks associated with the transport of spent fuel. Economic benefits would include lower in-transit shipping costs, reduced transportation fleet capital costs, and reduced numbers of cask handling operations at both shipping and receiving facilities.
Spacing of Screen Traps Baited with Synthetic Sex Pheromone of the Cabbage Looper123 (1970)

A simple, low-cost screen trap baited with synthetic sex pheromone trapped about as many male Trichoplusia ni (Hübner) as a trap equipped with a black1ight lamp and baited with the pheromone. However, the catch per trap per night of 4 traps as much as 244 m apart was less than ½ that of a single trap.
Endotoxin-induced platelet aggregation and secretion I. morphological changes and pharmacological effects (1977)

Endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Acinetobacter 199A induced aggregation of blood platelets from immune adherence-positive species (rat, rabbit) but not from immune adherence-negative species such as pig and man. Aggregation occurred in 2 phases: the first was not accompanied by secretion of platelet constituents, was apparently a consequence of C3 activation, and was selectively inhibited by EGTA. The second phase of aggregation was associated with secretion of platelet granule contents, and with a lesser amount of cytoplasmic leakage. Secondary aggregation was abolished by the sulphydryl alkylating agent N-ethylmaleimide, and by agents which increased the level of cyclic AMP in platelets, such as prostaglandin E1 (a stimulator of adenylate cyclase) and methyl xanthines (inhibitors of phosphodiesterase). Secondary aggregation was partly inhibited by agents which block platelet prostaglandin biosynthesis (e.g. aspirin, indomethacin). Primary aggregation was unaffected by these inhibitors at concentrations which blocked secondary aggregation.
Sequencing the human microbiome in health and disease (2013)

Molecular techniques have revolutionized the practice of standard microbiology. In particular, 16S rRNA sequencing, whole microbial genome sequencing and metagenomics are revealing the extraordinary diversity of microorganisms on Earth and their vast genetic and metabolic repertoire. The increase in length, accuracy and number of reads generated by high-throughput sequencing has coincided with a surge of interest in the human microbiota, the totality of bacteria associated with the human body, in both health and disease. Traditional views of host/pathogen interactions are being challenged as the human microbiota are being revealed to be important in normal immune system function, to diseases not previously thought to have a microbial component and to infectious diseases with unknown aetiology. In this review, we introduce the nature of the human microbiota and application of these three key sequencing techniques for its study, highlighting both advances and challenges in the field. We go on to discuss how further adoption of additional techniques, also originally developed in environmental microbiology, will allow the establishment of disease causality against a background of numerous, complex and interacting microorganisms within the human host.
Integrated parallel microfluidic device for simultaneous preparation of multiplex optical-encoded microbeads with distinct quantum dot barcodes (2011)

In this paper we describe a versatile microfluidic strategy for simultaneous preparation of quantum dot-encoded microbeads with controllable barcodes. This method involves the generation of multiple dispersed solutions carrying stepwise concentration gradients of quantum dots by using a pyramidal microfluidic network, the formation of corresponding droplets in parallel flow-focusing droplet generators, and on-chip solidification of these droplets into microbeads. Using a designed microfluidic device, we simultaneously generated five kinds of fluorescence-encoded alginate hydrogel microbeads with a five-level stepwise concentration gradient of monochromatic quantum dot or five controllable ratios of two different-sized quantum dots. This method has the following features: (1) the barcode adapter compartment substitutes the respective preparation of precursor solutions containing the correct concentrations and ratios of different quantum dots for corresponding barcodes. (2) Identical microbeads with distinct quantum dot barcodes can be simultaneously generated in homogeneous conditions. (3) The microfluidic device can be upgraded by increasing or decreasing the inlets and outlets of the pyramidal network and the number of the parallel flow-focusing droplet generators to meet the requirements for the particular barcodes. We expect that this microfluidic route will facilitate the construction and mass-production of robust and reproducible barcode materials.

InternetExpress: an inter-desktop multimedia data-transfer service (1991)

An integrated desktop data-transfer service called InternetExpress, which was designed to overcome the shortcomings in existing network-based transfer tools with respect to heterogeneity, seamlessness, user-interface simplicity, timeliness and security, is presented. This service allows users to share data conforming to any data standard across heterogeneous environments on the Internet, assuming the environments follow the general principles of the desktop metaphor. InternetExpress is selection-based. A prototype of InternetExpress has been implemented in the Intermedia desktop environment.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Criterion Functions for Document Clustering: Experiments and Analysis (2001)

In recent years, we have witnessed a tremendous growth in the volume of text documents available on the Internet, digital libraries, news sources, and company-wide intranets. This has led to an increased interest in developing methods that can help users to effectively navigate, summarize, and organize this information with the ultimate goal of helping them to find what they are looking for. Fast and high-quality document clustering algorithms play an important role towards this goal as they have been shown to provide both an intuitive navigation/browsing mechanism by organizing large amounts of information into a small number of meaningful clusters as well as to greatlyimprove the retrieval performance either via cluster-driven dimensionality reduction, term-weighting, or query expansion. This ever-increasing importance of document clustering and the expanded range of its applications led to the development of a number of new and novel algorithms with different complexity-quality trade-offs. Among them, a class of clustering algorithms that have relatively low computational requirements are those that treat the clustering problem as an optimization process which seeks to maximize or minimize a particular {em clustering criterion function} defined over the entire clustering solution.\n\nThe focus of this paper is to evaluate the performance of different criterion functions for the problem of clustering documents. Our study involves a total of eight different criterion functions, three of which are introduced inthis paper and five that have been proposed in the past. Our evaluation consists ofboth a comprehensive experimental evaluation involving fifteen different datasets, as well as an analysis of the characteristics of the various criterionfunctions and their effect on the clusters they produce. Our experimental results show that there are a set of criterion functions that consistently outperform the rest, and that some of the newly proposed criterion function lead to the best overall results. Our theoretical analysis of the criterion function shows that their relative performance depends on (i) the degree to which they cancorrectly operate when the clusters are of different tightness, and (ii) the degree to which they can lead to reasonably balanced clusters.
Temperature-Sensitive Nonsense Mutations in Essential Genes of <i>Escherichia coli</i> (1973)

Cells containing nonsense mutations in essential genes have been isolated in a strain of Escherichia coli that carried the su4(ts) gene which specifies a temperature-sensitive tyrosine transfer ribonucleic acid. Such cells are unable to form colonies at temperatures which inactivate this suppressor transfer ribonucleic acid. A screening procedure for the identification of mutants that carry temperature-sensitive nonsense mutations in essential genes is described, and certain properties of two such mutants are reported.

[Saluretic and diuretic effects of xipamide-triamterene combinations in varying dose ratios in rats]. (1983)

The saluretic and diuretic properties of 4-chloro-5-sulfamoyl-2',6'-salicyloxylidide (xipamide) and 2,4,7-triamino-6-phenyl-pteridine (triamterene) were determined in rats following sole and combined application in various dosages and dose ratios. Xipamide dosages ranged from 0.01-30 mg/kg body weight. Xipamide, when given alone, revealed a significant dose-dependent increase in sodium excretion and urine volume compared to control animals even in the smallest dose to be tested (0.01 mg/kg). Triamterene as sole agent led to an increased sodium and water excretion when given in a natriuretic threshold dose of approximately 1.0 mg/kg. Potassium excretion was slightly enhanced following xipamide application and decreased significantly with triamterene treatment. The combined application of xipamide and triamterene in dose ratios of 1:1-1:4 (xipamide/triamterene) resulted in an increased sodium excretion which was almost additive following high triamterene dosages. Potassium elimination decreased significantly when threshold triamterene dosages were added. High triamterene dosages in all dose ratios of the combined application resulted in potassium levels which only could be registered following sole triamterene application.
Space-efficient inference in dynamic probabilistic networks (1997)

Long-train intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of motor (M1) and posterior parietal cortices (PPC) in primates reveals cortical domains for different ethologically relevant behaviors. How functional domains interact with each other in producing motor behaviors is not known. In this study, we tested our hypothesis that matching domains interact to produce a specific complex movement, whereas connections between nonmatching domains are involved in suppression of conflicting motor outputs to prevent competing movements. In anesthetized galagos, we used 500-ms trains of ICMS to evoke complex movements from a functional domain in M1 or PPC while simultaneously stimulating another mismatched or matched domain. We considered movements of different and similar directions evoked from chosen cortical sites distant or close to each other. Their trajectories and speeds were analyzed and compared with those evoked by simultaneous stimulation. Stimulation of two sites evoking same or complementary movements produced a similar but more pronounced movement or a combined movement, respectively. Stimulation of two sites representing movements of different directions resulted in partial or total suppression of one of these movements. Thus interactions between domains in M1 and PPC were additive when they were functionally matched across fields or antagonistic between functionally conflicting domains, especially in PPC, suggesting that mismatched domains are involved in mutual suppression. Simultaneous stimulation of unrelated domains (forelimb and face) produced both movements independently. Movements produced by the simultaneous stimulation of sites in domains of two cerebral hemispheres were largely independent, but some interactions were observed.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> Long trains of electrical pulses applied simultaneously to two sites in motor cortical areas (M1, PPC) have shown that interactions of functionally matched domains (evoking similar movements) within these areas were additive to produce a specific complex movement. Interactions between functionally mismatched domains (evoking different movements) were mostly antagonistic, suggesting their involvement in mutual suppression of conflicting motor outputs to prevent competing movements. Simultaneous stimulation of unrelated domains (forelimb and face) produced both movements independently.
