Agent-based and graphical modelling of building occupancy (2011)

We propose a novel stochastic agent-based model of occupancy dynamics in a building with an arbitrary number of zones and occupants. Simulation of the model yields time-series of the location of each agent (a software representation of an occupant). The model is meant to provide realistic simulation of occupancy dynamics in non-emergency situations. Comparison of the model's prediction of distributions of random variables such as first arrival time of a building is provided against those estimated from measurements in commercial buildings. We also propose a lower complexity graphical model of occupancy evolution in multi-zone buildings. The graphical model captures information on mean occupancy and correlation among occupancy at various zones in the building. The agent-based model can be used in conjunction with building performance simulation tools, while the graphical model is more suitable for real-time applications, such as occupancy estimation with noisy sensor measurements.

Orexin/Hypocretin and Histamine: Distinct Roles in the Control of Wakefulness Demonstrated Using Knock-Out Mouse Models (2009)

To determine the respective role played by orexin/hypocretin and histamine (HA) neurons in maintaining wakefulness (W), we characterized the behavioral and sleep-wake phenotypes of orexin (Ox) knock-out (-/-) mice and compared them with those of histidine-decarboxylase (HDC, HA-synthesizing enzyme)-/- mice. While both mouse strains displayed sleep fragmentation and increased paradoxical sleep (PS), they presented a number of marked differences: (1) the PS increase in HDC(-/-) mice was seen during lightness, whereas that in Ox(-/-) mice occurred during darkness; (2) contrary to HDC(-/-), Ox(-/-) mice had no W deficiency around lights-off, nor an abnormal EEG and responded to a new environment with increased W; (3) only Ox(-/-), but not HDC(-/-) mice, displayed narcolepsy and deficient W when faced with motor challenge. Thus, when placed on a wheel, wild-type (WT), but not littermate Ox(-/-) mice, voluntarily spent their time in turning it and as a result, remained highly awake; this was accompanied by dense c-fos expression in many areas of their brains, including Ox neurons in the dorsolateral hypothalamus. The W and motor deficiency of Ox(-/-) mice was due to the absence of Ox because intraventricular dosing of orexin-A restored their W amount and motor performance whereas SB-334867 (Ox1-receptor antagonist, i.p.) impaired W and locomotion of WT mice during the test. These data indicate that Ox, but not HA, promotes W through enhanced locomotion and suggest that HA and Ox neurons exert a distinct, but complementary and synergistic control of W: the neuropeptide being more involved in its behavioral aspects, whereas the amine is mainly responsible for its qualitative cognitive aspects and cortical EEG activation.

Parallel implementation of simulated annealing using transaction processing: a preliminary study (2002)

Simulated annealing is an effective method for solving large combinatorial optimization problems. It has been successfully applied to the cell placement and routing problem of VLSI circuit design and to other classical optimization problems such as the traveling salesman problem and the graph partitioning problem. One major drawback of simulated annealing is that it requires a substantial amount of computation time. In this paper, we present a new parallel implementation of simulated annealing which is based on the concurrency control theory of database systems. The parallelized computation is serializable. Hence, the result obtained is equivalent to a serial execution of the original sequential annealing algorithm. In our implementation, we assume a shared-memory MIMD multiprocessing environment with 16 to 32 processors. Preliminary analysis shows that our method is able to achieve an efficiency (ratio of speedup to the number of processors) of from about 40 to over 90%, depending on the acceptance rate.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
On the Use of Vector Quantization for Connected-Digit Recognition (1985)

Recent work at AT&T Bell Laboratories has demonstrated the efficacy of vector quantization in greatly reducing both the computational and memory requirements of isolated-word recognition systems. This efficiency is obtained at the expense of a marginal decrease in performance, and thus is an attractive approach. The purpose of this paper is to report on the results of a series of experiments in the application of vector-quantization strategies to a small-vocabulary, connected-word recognition task. Several strategies are investigated, including the use of speaker-trained code books versus universal code books, the use of binary and higher-order tree searches versus full searches of these code books, and the quantization of both test and reference frames versus reference frames only. For various strategies, the effect on error rate of varying the code-book size is also reported. Results indicate that the vector quantization approach is attractive for linear predictive coding-based connected-digit recognition.
Oxygen‐transfer resins, a new type of oxidation–reduction polymers (1964)

Abstract Bifunctional cation exchangers with carboxylic and sulfonic acid groups can be oxidized with aqueous hydrogen peroxide which converts the carboxylic to percarboxylic acid groups. The oxidized resins can be used to hydroxylate compounds with olefinic double bonds to form α‐glycols. The resins thus transfer active oxygen from a peroxide to an unsaturated substrate. Oxidation and reduction of the resins is reversible.

Rigid‐rod polymers with polysiloxane side chains. I. Synthesis and characterization of rigid‐rod polyimides with polysiloxane side chains and their compatibility with linear polysiloxanes (1994)

Abstract Rigid‐rod aromatic polyimdies having polydimethylsiloxane side chains were prepared for the purpose of dispersing rigid‐rod molecules in silicone matrices for molecular reinforcement. The polyimides were obtained by imidizing the polyamide‐acids bearing the side chains either thermally or chemically, which were synthesized by reacting 4,4′‐diaminobiphenyl‐terminated polysiloxane macromonomers with pyromellitic dianhydride in THF. The polyamide‐acid films obtained by removing the solvent were soluble in THF, but the polyimides were insoluble in any common solvent. The polyimides showed no melting transition below 350°C on DSC analysis, at which temperature the side chain started decomposing. Although all the polyimides were anisotropic as observed by a polarizing microscope, x‐ray diffraction analysis suggested the presence of only limited chain organization. Blends with linear polydimethylsiloxanes were prepared by casting the THF solution containing the polyamide‐acid and the polydimethylsiloxane, followed by solvent evaporation and thermal imidization. With relatively longer side chains, the polyimides were proved to be compatibilized with polydimethylsiloxanes. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Synergism of Toxicity of N, N-Diethyl-m-toluamide to German Cockroaches (Orthoptera: Blattellidae) by Hydrolytic Enzyme Inhibitors (1996)

Various compounds were tested for effects on the toxicity of the insect repellent N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) in German cockroaches, Blattella germanica (L.). Organophosphate and carbamate acetylcholinesterase inhibitors carbaryl, DEF, eserine (physostigmine, malathion and pyridostigmine bromide synergized DEET toxicity also synergized the toxicity of the formamidine pesticides. Amitraz and chlordimeform. Results suggest that DEET may have some toxic actions that are similar to those of formamidine pesticides. DEET synergized the toxicity of some acetylcholinesterase inhibitors but not others. Results further suggest that some mechanism other than acetylcholinesterase inhibition was responsible for the toxic interactions observed between DEET and the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

Intraductal meibomian gland probing seems to improve meibomian gland lipid levels, and it may be a good treatment option for cases of o-MGD that are resistant to conventional treatment.
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms among uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates: pap-related sequences compared with rrn operons (1990)

Among the adhesin-encoding virulence operons associated with uropathogenic Escherichia coli, only pap (pyelonephritis-associated pilus)-related gene clusters typically exhibit variation in their structure and chromosomal copy number. To access further such variability, we compared pap restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) with those detected among rRNA (rrn) operons, which encode an essential host function unrelated to virulence. To place such findings in a phylogenetic perspective, the E. coli isolates were also characterized by using multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. Variation in the rrn RFLP profiles correlated with evolutionary divergence resolved by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis; isolates with identical rrn profiles represented the same or closely related electrophoretic types. In contrast, such isolates frequently had different pap-related RFLPs, indicating that these genetic variations have developed recently relative to the changes associated with essential rrn operons or metabolic enzymes. Despite such fluctuations, two lines of evidence indicate conditions under which the pap-related RFLPs can be stably maintained. First, for each of 20 patients with urosepsis, both the primary urinary tract isolate and the concurrent blood isolate were identical. Second, although obtained from different patients, some isolates representing the same electrophoretic type also had identical pap-related RFLPs. Thus, the genotypic diversity of this virulence adhesin operon was not generated during the course of acute infection or during laboratory manipulations. Since fecal E. coli isolates frequently carry chromosomally encoded pap-related gene clusters, these findings suggest that the intra- and interchromosomal recombination events generating the polymorphisms associated with the pap-related sequences likely occur among the E. coli of the commensal reservoir.
Overexpression of PIWI proteins in human stage III epithelial ovarian cancer with lymph node metastasis (2013)

PIWI proteins are upregulated in EOC and associated with metastasis. These proteins may be useful as diagnostic biomarkers for EOC. The function of PIWI proteins in EOC with tumor metastasis will need to be further explored.
Mapping Algorithms for Multiprocessor Tasks on Multi-Core Clusters (2008)

In this paper, we explore the use of hierarchically structured multiprocessor tasks (M-tasks) for programming multi-core cluster systems.These systems often have hierarchically structured interconnection networks combining different computing resources, starting with the interconnect within multi-core processors up to the interconnection network combining nodes of the cluster or supercomputer. M-task programs can support the effective use of the computing resources by adapting the task structure of the program to the hierarchical organization of the cluster system and by exploiting the available data parallelism within the M-tasks. In particular, we consider different mapping algorithms for M-tasks and investigate the resulting efficiency and scalability. We present experimental results for different application programs and different multi-core systems.

Reduced defect density in silicon-on-insulator structures formed by oxygen implantation in two steps (1989)

Up to now, the best quality silicon-on-insulator material formed by high-dose oxygen ion implantation has been produced by conventional one step implantation and subsequent high-temperature annealing. Nevertheless, it still contains structural defects: threading dislocations in the top silicon film and silicon islands inside the buried SiO2 layer. This letter presents a new method for producing silicon-on-insulator structures using sequences of oxygen ion implantation and high-temperature annealing steps. The structures obtained using this method are nearly free from defects observable by electron microscopy. In particular, no threading dislocations could be observed and the density of silicon islands is reduced by several orders of magnitude. A mechanism of Si interstitial atoms migration is proposed to explain these observations in accordance with other studies.
A processor architecture for Horizon (2003)

Horizon is a scalable shared-memory multiple-instruction-stream-multiple-data-stream computer, currently under study, composed of a few hundred identical scalar processors and a comparable number of memories, sparsely embedded in a three-dimensional nearest-neighbor network. Each processor has a horizontal instruction set that can perform up to three floating-point operations per cycle without resorting to vector operations and will be capable performing at a rate of several hundred MFLOPS (millions of floating-point operations per second), to achieve an overall system performance target of 100 GFLOPS (billion of FLOPS). The architecture of the processor in the Horizon system is described.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Dynamic routing of restorable bandwidth-guaranteed tunnels using aggregated network resource usage information (2003)

The paper presents new algorithms for dynamic routing of restorable bandwidth-guaranteed paths. We assume that connections are requested one-by-one and there is no prior knowledge of future arrivals. In order to guarantee restorability an alternate link (node) disjoint backup (restoration) path has to be determined, as well as an active path, when the connection is initiated. This joint on-line routing problem is particularly important in optical networks and in MPLS networks for dynamic provisioning of bandwidth-guaranteed or wavelength paths. A simple solution is to find two disjoint paths, but this results in excessive resource usage. Backup path bandwidth usage can be reduced by judicious sharing of backup paths amongst certain active paths while still maintaining restorability. The best sharing performance is achieved if the routing of every path in progress in the network is known to the routing algorithm at the time of a new path setup. We give a new integer programming formulation for this problem. Complete path routing knowledge is a reasonable assumption for a centralized routing algorithm, but is not often desirable, particularly when distributed routing is preferred. We show that a suitably developed algorithm which uses only aggregated information, and not per-path information, is able to perform almost as well as one using complete information. Disseminating this aggregate information is feasible using proposed traffic engineering extensions to routing protocols. We formulate the dynamic restorable bandwidth routing problem in this aggregate information scenario and develop efficient routing algorithms. The performance of our algorithm is close to the complete information bound.
Infant salt taste: Developmental, methodological, and contextual factors (1994)

Abstract Two studies investigated the human infant's response to salt during development. In the first study, measures of intake and sucking were obtained from two groups of infants, newborns and 4‐ to 8‐month‐olds, in response to brief presentations of two concentrations of salt (0.2 or 0.4 M) and water. For several measures of sucking and for intake, there were significant age and concentration effects. Generally, newborn infants tended to reject saline relative to water more than did 4‐ to 8‐month‐old infants. This result, consistent with previously published research, suggests a developmental change in salt acceptability and, probably, sensitivity in the human infant. In the second longitudinal study, the response to salted (0.15 M) versus unsalted formulas was evaluated monthly in infants 2 to 7 months of age. Again, a developmental change was observed: Based on some sucking measures, younger infants appeared to be indifferent to the salted formula relative to the unsalted formula whereas older infants tended to reject the salted formula, presumably because either it was less sweet than the unsalted formulas or because it was novel. These data are consistent with the hypothesis developed from animal model studies that during early human postnatal development, transductive elements sensitive to saltiness mature.©1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
