How Much Room before you Rely: Balancing Privacy Control and Fidelity in the Location-based Pervasive Applications (2008)

Rapid development of innovative location-centric applications promoted through widespread proliferation of wireless technology and availability of small handheld devices have brought about a new era in pervasive computing. Besides, they are constantly challenged by individual privacy protection necessities as the location information are stored and exchanged among entities and service providers. In this paper, we attempt to categorize location-centric pervasive applications based on the utility and flexibility on imposing privacy measures. Our first category of applications "Services based on location constraints" provide less options for privacy protection, while the second one "Location-centric statistical query services" allows more control of privacy on the clients' side. But once again giving away too much control to regulate priva.cy on the client side also undermines the quality and fidelity of the applications. We discuss some of the research issues of the privacy flexible framework for location-centric application, ,the costs incurred upon losing fidelity and wayouts to cope with them without compromising privacy in the first place. The framework introduces an interesting class of applications where users relish on the balance of location privacy protection and fidelity of the application.
Cycle Life of Commercial Lithium-Ion Batteries with Lithium Titanium Oxide Anodes in Electric Vehicles (2014)

The lithium titanium oxide (LTO) anode is widely accepted as one of the best anodes for the future lithium ion batteries in electric vehicles (EVs), especially since its cycle life is very long. In this paper, three different commercial LTO cells from different manufacturers were studied in accelerated cycle life tests and their capacity fades were compared. The result indicates that under 55 °C, the LTO battery still shows a high capacity fade rate. The battery aging processes of all the commercial LTO cells clearly include two stages. Using the incremental capacity (IC) analysis, it could be judged that in the first stage, the battery capacity decreases mainly due to the loss of anode material and the degradation rate is lower. In the second stage, the battery capacity decreases much faster, mainly due to the degradation of the cathode material. The result is important for the state of health (SOH) estimation and remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of battery management system (BMS) for LTO batteries in EVs.
Toraldo filters with concentric unequal annuli of fixed phase by evolutionary programming (2013)

The resolving power of an optical imaging system is limited by residual aberrations and diffraction effects. The Rayleigh-Abbe diffraction limit of resolution corresponds to radius of the central lobe of the point spread function of an aberration free diffraction limited system. An attempt to circumvent this limitation was proposed by Toraldo di Francia, who showed that suitable pupil plane filtering can overcome this resolution limit, albeit over a restricted field. This paper reports results of our investigations on the use of evolutionary programming to obtain globally or quasi-globally optimum solutions in synthesis of lossless Toraldo filters consisting of concentric unequal area zones of fixed phase.
English Impressions (1951)

I begin this summary of my impressions of music in Britain with the hope that anything. I say will not be construed as impertinence, or ingratitude to my hosts of the last six months for the stimulating experience and generous reception I have had here both as a practising musician and as an observer.
DOCK2 and DOCK5 Act Additively in Neutrophils To Regulate Chemotaxis, Superoxide Production, and Extracellular Trap Formation (2014)

Neutrophils are highly motile leukocytes that play important roles in the innate immune response to invading pathogens. Neutrophils rapidly migrate to the site of infections and kill pathogens by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Neutrophil chemotaxis and ROS production require activation of Rac small GTPase. DOCK2, an atypical guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), is one of the major regulators of Rac in neutrophils. However, because DOCK2 deficiency does not completely abolish fMLF-induced Rac activation, other Rac GEFs may also participate in this process. In this study, we show that DOCK5 acts with DOCK2 in neutrophils to regulate multiple cellular functions. We found that fMLF- and PMA-induced Rac activation were almost completely lost in mouse neutrophils lacking both DOCK2 and DOCK5. Although β2 integrin-mediated adhesion occurred normally even in the absence of DOCK2 and DOCK5, mouse neutrophils lacking DOCK2 and DOCK5 exhibited a severe defect in chemotaxis and ROS production. Similar results were obtained when human neutrophils were treated with CPYPP, a small-molecule inhibitor of these DOCK GEFs. Additionally, we found that DOCK2 and DOCK5 regulate formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Because NETs are involved in vascular inflammation and autoimmune responses, DOCK2 and DOCK5 would be a therapeutic target for controlling NET-mediated inflammatory disorders.
A vector quantizer with short-time memory for digital image coding (2003)

The authors propose a novel scheme of vector quantization with memory, named vector quantization with short-time memory (VQ-STM). The VQ-STM has two types of codebooks, a fixed-structure codebook whose codewords are kept unchanged, and a variable-structure codebook, which is defined as a subset of the fixed-structure codebook and whose structure is continually updated depending on the past behavior of the coder. The VQ-STM coder chooses the proper codebook between two codebooks for every input vector. The update of the variable-structure codebook is easily performed only by simple heuristics for maintaining a finite-length self-organizing sequential list which stores past coder outputs. The results of experimental simulations conducted on monochrome images demonstrate that significant compression gains can be achieved by enhancing the vector-quantization approach with the concept of short-time memory.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Ring Cleavage of<i>N</i>-Acyl- and<i>N</i>-(Arylsulfonyl)histamines with Di-<i>tert</i>-butyl Dicarbonate. A One-Pot Synthesis of 4-Acylamino- and 4-Arylsulfonylamino-1,2-diaminobutanes (1989)

The ring cleavage of N-aryl- and N-(arylsulfonyl)histamines with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate in aqueous acetonitrile containing KOAc provides a one-pot synthesis of 4-acylamino- or 4-arylsulfonylamino-1,2-bis(tert -butoxycarbonylamino)butanes. Removal of the Boc groups in these protected triamines with trifluoroacetic acid or dry HCl in MeOH, followed by alkylation with benzyl bromoacetate, and then hydrogenation leads to N 4-acyl-1,2,4-butanetriamine -N 1,N 1,N 2,N 2 -tetraacetic acids and the N 4-arylsulfonyl analogs, respectively.
Fault Tolerant Actuation for Steer-by-Wire Applications (2007)

This paper introduces a R&D project concerned with the development of a fault-tolerant actuation system for steer-by-wire applications. The essential safety and reliability requirements for automotive vehicles are assessed. General redundancy schemes and current practices are examined. The paper then focuses on the use of actuators based on permanent magnetic brushless dc motors, and analyses internal fault-tolerant potentials of the actuator technology with possible control schemes evaluated. Finally key innovations that may provide practical and affordable solutions are discussed.
Expansion and functional activity of Ly‐1<sup>+</sup> B cells upon transfer of peritoneal cells into allotype‐congenic, newborn mice (1987)

Transfer of peritoneal cells from adult donors into newborn, allotype-congenic mice led to colonization of the recipient mice by donor-derived B lymphocytes expressing the Ly-1 surface marker (Ly-1 B cells). These cells not only persisted in the recipient mice for at least 5 months, but also increased in number. In contrast, bone marrow-derived stem cells did not or scarcely give rise to B cells after intraperitoneal injection into congenic newborn recipients under the same experimental conditions. Approximately half of the IgM in the serum of peritoneal cell-recipients was produced by donor-derived Ly-1 B cells, suggesting that high levels of serum IgM in a normal mouse are produced by this B cell subpopulation. The transferred Ly-1 B cells were able to respond in a normal fashion to alpha (1----3)dextran, but they did not participate in thymus-dependent and -independent (TI II) immune responses to the hapten (4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)acetyl (NP). In neither the immune response to alpha (1----3)dextran nor that to NP were we able to detect an influence of the transferred Ly-1 B cells on the selection of the idiotypic repertoire in the recipient mice.
High performance/reliability Cu interconnect with selective CoWP cap (2004)

In this work, a selective CoWP metal cap was employed after Cu CMP process for replacing conventional dielectric cap layer platform. A 5% reduction in RC delay was demonstrated for this new approach. The CoWP cap layer improves the interface between Cu and dielectric layer which reduces the Cu surface migration. EM for both via and trench shows more than 10X improvement. With optimized thickness and deposited process, 100% yield of line to line leakages, via chain Rc, and metal line Rs can be achieved. A semi-quantitative model was employed to determine surface migration dominating EM failure.
EVOLUTION OF DEVELOPMENTAL STRATEGIES IN PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA (2005)

Parasitoid wasps have evolved a wide spectrum of developmental interactions with hosts. In this review we synthesize and interpret results from the phylogenetic, ecological, physiological, and molecular literature to identify factors that have influenced the evolution of parasitoid developmental strategies. We first discuss the origins and radiation of the parasitoid lifestyle in the Hymenoptera. We then summarize how parasitoid developmental strategies are affected by ecological interactions and assess the inventory of physiological and molecular traits parasitoids use to successfully exploit hosts. Last, we discuss how certain parasitoid virulence genes have evolved and how these changes potentially affect parasitoid-host interactions. The combination of phylogenetic data with comparative and functional genomics offers new avenues for understanding the evolution of biological diversity in this group of insects.
Dramatic Improvement of the Enantiomeric Excess in the Asymmetric Conjugate Addition Reaction Using New Experimental Conditions (2002)

The asymmetric conjugate addition of dialkylzincs is usually performed with Cu(OTf)(2) in toluene. We show that by using a copper carboxylate in Et(2)O, THF, or EtOAc, we strongly improve the enantioselectivity with a given ligand. Ee values up to 99.1% could be reached with new ligands based on the induced atropisomerism of a simple biphenol unit. In addition, we show that the Lewis acid effect of Cu(OTf)(2) is not a significant.
High-radix crossbar switches enabled by proximity communication (2008)

We describe a novel way to implement high-radix crossbar switches. Our work is enabled by a new chip interconnect technology called proximity communication (PxC) that offers unparalleled chip IO density. First, we show how a crossbar architecture is topologically mapped onto a PxC-enabled multi-chip module (MCM). Then, we describe a first prototype implementation of a small-scale switch based on a PxC MCM. Finally, we present a performance analysis of two large-scale switch configurations with 288 ports and 1,728 ports, respectively, contrasting a 1-stage PxC-enabled switch and a multi-stage switch using conventional technology. Our simulation results show that (a) arbitration delays in a large 1-stage switch can be considerable, (b) multi-stage switches are extremely susceptible to saturation under non-uniform traffic, a problem that becomes worse for higher radices (1-stage switches, in contrast, are not affected by this problem).
Crystalline green 5‐hydroxyvaleryl‐CoA dehydratase from <i>Clostridium aminovalericum</i> (1991)

A green enzyme from Clostridium aminovalericum with valeryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity was purified to homogeneity (169 +/- 3 kDa) and crystallized. By SDS/PAGE, one type of subunit (42 kDa) was detected indicating a homotetrameric structure. The unusual ultraviolet/visible spectrum of the green enzyme (maxima at 394 nm, 438 nm and 715 nm) was converted to a normal flavoprotein spectrum either by reduction with dithionite and reoxidation under air, or by removal of the prosthetic group at pH 2 and reconstitution with FAD (not FMN). Besides FAD (4 mol/169 kDa), the enzyme contained 4 mol of a CoA ester which was similar but not identical to 5-hydroxy-2-pentenoyl-CoA. The reconstituted holoenzyme as well as the native green enzyme, but not the apoenzyme, catalysed the reversible dehydration of 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA to 4-pentenoyl-CoA in the absence of an external electron acceptor. In its presence (preferentially ferricenium ion), the green or yellow enzyme catalysed the formation of (E)-5-hydroxy-2-pentenoyl-CoA and 2,4-pentadienoyl-CoA either from 4-pentenoyl-CoA or from 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA. The reversible hydration of 2,4-pentadienoyl-CoA to (E)-5-hydroxy-2-pentenoyl-CoA was mediated by both enzymes as well as by the apoenzyme in the absence of FAD. Hydration of 4-pentenoate in 2H2O yielded optically active 5-hydroxy[2,4-2H2]valerate by the combined action of 5-hydroxyvalerate CoA-transferase, the green dehydratase and catalytical amounts of acetyl-CoA. The data show that the reversible hydration of the isolated double bond of 4-pentenoyl-CoA to 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA. which apparently violates the Markovnikov rule, is preceded by oxidation to 2,4-pentadienoyl-CoA. The latter compound, a vinyl analogue of 2-enoyl-CoA, is then easily hydrated to (E)-5-hydroxy-2-pentenoyl-CoA and finally reduced to 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA.
Gender differences in regional body composition and somatotrophic influences of IGF-I and leptin (2002)

This study evaluated the arm, trunk, and leg for fat mass, lean soft tissue mass, and bone mineral content (BMC) assessed via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in a group of age-matched (approximately 29 yr) men (n = 57) and women (n = 63) and determined their relationship to insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and leptin. After analysis of covariance adjustment to control for differences in body mass between genders, the differences that persisted (P < or = 0.05) were for lean soft tissue mass of the arm (men: 7.1 kg vs. women: 6.4 kg) and fat mass of the leg (men: 5.3 kg vs. women: 6.8 kg). Men and women had similar (P > or = 0.05) values for fat mass of the arms and trunk and lean soft tissue mass of the legs and trunk. Serum IGF-I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 correlated (P < or = 0.05) with all measures of BMC (r values ranged from 0.31 to 0.39) and some measures of lean soft tissue mass for women (r = 0.30) but not men. Leptin correlated (P < or = 0.05) similarly for measures of fat mass for both genders (r values ranging from 0.74 to 0.85) and for lean soft tissue mass of the trunk (r = 0.40) and total body (r = 0.32) for men and for the arms in women (r = 0.56). These data demonstrate that 1) the main phenotypic gender differences in body composition are that men have more of their muscle mass in their arms and women have more of their fat mass in their legs and 2) gender differences exist in the relationship between somatotrophic hormones and lean soft tissue mass.
Volatility of some potential high-level radioactive waste forms (1980)

Volatilities of seven simulated high level radioactive waste glasses, two supercalcines, and one regular calcine in the range 1073/sup 0/K to 1573/sup 0/K were determined. Rubidium, cesium, ruthenium, molybdenum, and tellurium were found in the vapor from all materials. Sodium, potassium, and boron were vaporized from materials that contained them. There was a strong correlation between viscosity of the glasses and their volatility. Heats of vaporization of all volatile elements from the glasses were roughly the same, suggesting that a single mechanism controls the vaporization rate of all elements. The two supercalcines were less volatile than any of the glasses. Cesium and molybdenum were the most volatile elements in the supercalcines. Volatility of all the materials studied was significant only at temperatures above 1000/sup 0/K, but was negligible at waste storage temperatures.
Eddy Current Sliding Probe Technology for the Detection of Corrosion in Multi-Layered Aircraft Structures (2000)

Abstract Corrosion in multi-layered structures cannot be effectively monitored by most Non-Destructive Testing methods. However, combining a multi-frequency eddy current technique with sliding probe technology, external amplification, digitization, and robotics provides the ability to quantify small amounts (3% of one plate thickness) of material loss in sub-layers not otherwise detectable using an industrial eddy current scope. The technique developed can be used in the field for aircraft inspection.
Design and performance of low-cost WDM-PON access networks (2007)

Design and performance of low-cost wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical network (WDM- PON) candidates are presented. The relative system costs of the candidates are also estimated. (3 pages)
Effects of thresholding in joint-transform correlation (1992)

The joint-transform power spectrum of two identical objects can be represented as a one-dimensional sinusoidal grating modulated by a Fourier transform, and the correlation peaks can be regarded as the first-order diffraction of the grating. The peak intensity and the width are then determined by the aperture and the modulation of the grating. Based on this analysis, it is shown that dc blocking, hard clipping, or binarization of the power spectrum results in higher correlation peak intensity and a narrower peak width. Direct-current blocking is also found to be preferable if the input pattern to the correlator is corrupted by noise.
Control of Particle-Deposition Pattern in a Sessile Droplet by Using Radial Electroosmotic Flow (2006)

In this technical note, we report an experimental investigation of radial electroosmotic flow (EOF) as an effective means for controlling particle-deposition pattern inside an evaporating droplet, which has a potential application to biochemistry and analytical chemistry especially for sample preparation steps. Using the microelectrode, which consists of the circular electrode around the rim of droplet and the point electrode at the center of the droplet, we generate the radial electric field at the bottom of the electrolyte droplet. The electric field developed between the center electrode and the circular electrode causes a radial EOF in the vicinity of the bottom of the droplet. By changing the applied voltage, the strengths and directions of the radial EOF are controlled at one's own discretion, and thus, we can modify the solute distribution inside the droplet during evaporation. When the radial EOF compensates the natural outward flow at a suitable choice of electrical voltage, the particles are uniformly distributed at the entire droplet spot. Moreover, with strong radial EOF, all the particles are deposited at the center rather than at the rim. We also carry out a simple theoretical investigation of flow field inside the droplet with Smoluchowski slip velocity condition to show how the particles travel during evaporation.
Thermophilic Mixed Culture of Bacteria Utilizing Methanol for Growth (1974)

A thermophilic mixed population of bacteria, capable of utilizing methanol as its sole carbon-energy source at temperatures up to 65 C, was selected by enrichment and studied. A maximal cellular yield of 0.42 g per g of methanol was observed at 50 to 56 C. The maximal specific growth rate of the mixed population in continuous culture at 56 C was greater than 0.32 per h. The amino acid profile of the mixed culture indicated that a high quality protein was produced and the protein content was 71%. The properties of this culture and its ability to grow at elevated temperatures are discussed in terms of single-cell protein production and the treatment of industrial waste.
