Numerical simulation of M<sub>2</sub> internal tides in the South Brazil Bight and their interaction with the Brazil Current (2007)

A fully three‐dimensional nonlinear primitive equation ocean model is applied to study the semidiurnal internal tide in the South Brazil Bight under summer conditions. Along the shelf break and upper slope of this region, the upper layer (0–600 m) is occupied by the southward flowing Brazil Current. Several numerical experiments were conducted to investigate the generation and propagation of the M 2 internal tide. Using horizontally homogeneous and vertically stratified density fields, internal tides were generated over the whole Bight with a clear signal on the continental shelf. When a more realistic summer stratification was considered, a baroclinic jet, representative of the Brazil Current, developed and comparisons between current observations and modeled results were improved. This jet acts as a barrier to the coastward propagation of the internal tide generated over the slope, reflecting it back towards the open ocean. On the negative relative vorticity side of the Brazil Current, located over the shelf, internal tides are trapped, enhancing vertical current variability and, hence, tidally induced mixing. The results highlight the importance of considering background flows when investigating internal tides in regions of strong along‐slope baroclinic flows such as western boundary currents.

Adaptive Maximums of Random Variables for Network Simulations (2009)

In order to enhance the precision of network simulations, the paper proposes an approach to adaptively decide the maximum of random variables that create the discrete probabilities to generate nodal traffic on simulated networks. In this paper, a statistical model is first suggested to manifest the bound of statistical errors. Then, according to the minimum probability that generates nodal traffic, a formula is proposed to decide the maximum. In the formula, a precision parameter is used to present the degree of simulative accuracy. Meanwhile, the maximum adaptively varies with the traffic distribution among nodes because the decision depends on the minimum probability generating nodal traffic. In order to verify the effect of the adaptive maximum on simulative precision, an optical network is introduced. After simulating the optical network, the theoretic average waiting time of nodes on the optical network is exploited to validate the exactness of the simulation. The proposed formula deciding the adaptive maximum can be generally exploited in the simulations of various networks. Based on the precision parameter K , a recursive procedure will be developed to automatically produce the adaptive maximum for network simulations in the future.
High-Efficiency Hybrid EER Transmitter Using Optimized Power Amplifier (2008)

This paper describes a new design approach for a power amplifier (PA) of the highly efficient hybrid envelope elimination and restoration (H-EER) transmitter. Since the PA operates mostly at the average power region of the modulation signal, power-added efficiency (PAE) of the PA at the average drain voltage is very important for the overall transmitter PAE. Accordingly, the PA is designed to have a maximum PAE in that region. The performances of the proposed PA and a conventional PA under H-EER operation are evaluated via ADS and MatLab simulations using a behavioral large-signal model of a silicon LDMOSFET, which verifies that the proposed PA has significant advantages for the H-EER transmitter in both PAE and output power. A saturated amplifier, inverse class F, has been implemented using a 5-W peak envelope power LDMOSFET for 3GPP forward-link single-carrier wideband code-division multiple-access at 1 GHz with a peak-to-average power ratio of 9.8 dB. An envelope amplifier is built that has an efficiency of above 68% and peak output voltage of 31 V for an interlock experiment. The overall PAE of the transmitter with a conventional PA is 35.5% at an output power of 29.2 dBm. On the other hand, the transmitter with the proposed PA delivers significantly improved performances: PAE increased by 4% and output power by 2.5 dB. The H-EER transmitter has been linearized by the digital feedback predistortion technique. The measured error vector magnitude is reduced to 1.47% from 6.4%. These results clearly show that the proposed architecture is a good candidate for efficient linear transmitters.
The Growth of Government (2012)

In 1959, Ronald Coase entered the Chicago home of Aaron Director for what was to be an unusual dinner party. The host and other guests were a who’s who of University of Chicago economists, including Milton Friedman, George Stigler, Arnold Harberger, John McGee, and fifteen others. The British-born and soft-spoken Coase, an economics professor at the University of Virginia, was in town to present a new paper at the university. In an earlier paper on the regulation of radio by the Federal Communications Commission, just published in the Journal of Law and Economics, Coase had made an argument that the Chicago crowd considered interesting but erroneous. The dinner was arranged to give Coase the chance he had requested to convince the skeptics that his argument was correct.
ORION: from on-line interaction to off-line delegation (2000)

This paper introduces orion, a conversational system that performs off-line tasks and initiates later contact with a user at a pre-negotiated time. Orion has two major episodes of activity: the enrollment of new tasks and the execution of pending tasks. The task manager periodically checks the pending tasks and updates their status, sending off requests to other servers for information and possibly launching a phone call when a particular task has reached its trigger time. A separate user interface engages in a dialogue with a user to enroll new tasks and/or update existing tasks. Orion is still in an early stage of its development cycle, but it has introduced several interesting new research issues, such as continuous state maintenance and contact verification.
Roughness Formation During Plasma Etching of Composite Materials: A Kinetic Monte Carlo Approach (2007)

The focus of this article is on the plasma-etching behavior of films of composite materials consisting of two randomly distributed phases with different etch rates. Two etching modes are examined as follows: 1) with anisotropic flux of ions (sputtering) and 2) with isotropic flux of etchants (chemical etching). First, analytical relations are derived to describe etch rate and surface coverage (with difficult to etch material) versus selectivity s (etch rate ratio) and volume fraction p of the easily etched material. Then, the evolution of surface roughness is calculated by means of kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of the process. In both modes, a critical time t <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> proportional to s is found which defines two regimes of roughness behavior. For t > t <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> , the rms surface roughness increases during etching as a power law with an exponent similar to that characterizing the etching of one phase homogeneous film. The exponent is 0.5 for the anisotropic-etching case and much lower (~0.17) for chemical-etching due to shadowing phenomena. On the contrary, the presence of two phases is evidenced for t <; t <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> . At t <; t <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> and small s, roughness is maximized for p ≈ 0.9. For large s, the maximum becomes sharper and moves to larger p values (~0.99 for s = 100). Furthermore, in chemical etching, at large s, a dynamic transition at t ~ t <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> from a region where local surface fluctuations are enhanced with etching time (anomalous scaling) to normal behavior is found. Finally, it is shown that an appropriate version of the model captures the basic features of the roughness evolution of a composite film measured experimentally.
BSN: Boundary Sensitive Network for Temporal Action Proposal Generation (2018)

Temporal action proposal generation is an important yet challenging problem, since temporal proposals with rich action content are indispensable for analysing real-world videos with long duration and high proportion irrelevant content. This problem requires methods not only generating proposals with precise temporal boundaries, but also retrieving proposals to cover truth action instances with high recall and high overlap using relatively fewer proposals. To address these difficulties, we introduce an effective proposal generation method, named Boundary-Sensitive Network (BSN), which adopts "local to global" fashion. Locally, BSN first locates temporal boundaries with high probabilities, then directly combines these boundaries as proposals. Globally, with Boundary-Sensitive Proposal feature, BSN retrieves proposals by evaluating the confidence of whether a proposal contains an action within its region. We conduct experiments on two challenging datasets: ActivityNet-1.3 and THUMOS14, where BSN outperforms other state-of-the-art temporal action proposal generation methods with high recall and high temporal precision. Finally, further experiments demonstrate that by combining existing action classifiers, our method significantly improves the state-of-the-art temporal action detection performance.
On the Cardiolipin Analogues. Syntheses of Dipalmitoyl-D, L-α-glycerylphosphoryl-propanol Sodium Salt and Bis (dipalmitoyl-D, L-α-glyceryl-phosphoryl)-1, 3-propanediol Disodium Salt. (1963)

Dipalmitoyl-D, L-α-glycerylphosphorylpropanol sodium salt (I) and bis (dipalmitoyl-D, L-α-glycerylphosphoryl)-1, 3-propanediol disodium salt (II) were synthesized by the condensation of the silver salt of dipalmitoyl-D, L-α-glycerophosphoric acid benzyl ester (III) with alkyl iodide, followed by debenzylation with sodium iodide. It was found that II was converted to an acid form upon silicic acid column.
Rate-distortion optimization in a robust video transmission based on unbalanced multiple description coding (2002)

We present an unbalanced MDC video system where two bitstreams are generated, both independently decodable and compliant with the standard H.263 video decoder, and study the performance of the system in providing robustness in transmission over a packet network.
Agency in Mid-air Interfaces (2017)

Touchless interfaces allow users to view, control and manipulate digital content without physically touching an interface. They are being explored in a wide range of application scenarios from medical surgery to car dashboard controllers. One aspect of touchless interaction that has not been explored to date is the Sense of Agency (SoA). The SoA refers to the subjective experience of voluntary control over actions in the external world. In this paper, we investigated the SoA in touchless systems using the intentional binding paradigm. We first compare touchless systems with physical interactions and then augmented different types of haptic feedback to explore how different outcome modalities influence intentional binding. From our experiments, we demonstrated that an intentional binding effect is observed in both physical and touchless interactions with no statistical difference. Additionally, we found that haptic and auditory feedback help to increase SoA compared with visual feedback in touchless interfaces. We discuss these findings and identify design opportunities that take agency into consideration.

Noxious New York (2006)

Examines the culture, politics, and history of the movement for environmental justice in New York City, tracking activism in four neighborhoods on issues of public health, garbage, and energy systems in the context of privatization, deregulation, and globalization. Racial minority and low-income communities often suffer disproportionate effects of urban environmental problems. Environmental justice advocates argue that these communities are on the front lines of environmental and health risks. In Noxious New York, Julie Sze analyzes the culture, politics, and history of environmental justice activism in New York City within the larger context of privatization, deregulation, and globalization. She tracks urban planning and environmental health activism in four gritty New York neighborhoods: Brooklyn's Sunset Park and Williamsburg sections, West Harlem, and the South Bronx. In these communities, activism flourished in the 1980s and 1990s in response to economic decay and a concentration of noxious incinerators, solid waste transfer stations, and power plants. Sze describes the emergence of local campaigns organized around issues of asthma, garbage, and energy systems, and how, in each neighborhood, activists framed their arguments in the vocabulary of environmental justice. Sze shows that the linkage of planning and public health in New York City goes back to the nineteenth century's sanitation movement, and she looks at the city's history of garbage, sewage, and sludge management. She analyzes the influence of race, family, and gender politics on asthma activism and examines community activists' responses to garbage privatization and energy deregulation. Finally, she looks at how activist groups have begun to shift from fighting particular siting and land use decisions to engaging in a larger process of community planning and community-based research projects. Drawing extensively on fieldwork and interviews with community members and activists, Sze illuminates the complex mix of local and global issues that fuels environmental justice activism.
Optical Properties of Copper (1960)

Optical properties of solid copper have been measured in a wavelength range from 0.365 to 2.5 microns and at temperatures 90\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, 300\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, and 500\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K. Annealed and electropolished specimens were used. Measurements were done in a vacuum of about 2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$ mm (Hg) and it was observed that the oxide film which normally forms on copper upon exposure to air could be removed by heating in vacuum to a temperature of 500\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K. In the wavelength range below 0.6 micron the data confirm the well-known facts relating to a threshold for interband electronic transitions. At longer wavelengths the optical properties are determined almost entirely by free electrons. Deviations from simple theory are partly explained by the anomalous skin effect and it is concluded that the electronic collisions at the metal surface are diffuse. However, it is shown that the anomalous skin effect is not sufficient to explain the observed deviations and that a more complete interpretation ought to consider the nonspherical nature of the Fermi surface and variation of the relaxation time over this surface.
New Diterpenic Altrosides of the Fungus <i>Acremonium striatisporum</i> Isolated from a Sea Cucumber (2000)

Two new diterpenic glycosides, virescenosides M (1) and N (2), have been isolated from a marine strain of Acremonium striatisporum KMM 4401 associated with the holothurian Eupentacta fraudatrix. Their structures were determined on the basis of MS and NMR data as beta-D-altropyranosido-19-7-oxo-isopimara-8,15-diene-2alp ha, 3beta-diol (1) and beta-D-altropyranosido-19-isopimara-7, 15-diene-2alpha,3beta,6beta-triol (2). Three other altrosides (3-5), identified as virescenosides A, B, and C from the terrestrial strain Acremonium luzulae, were also isolated. The cytotoxic activity of the virescenosides was examined.
Corrupt policemen: inflammatory cells promote tumor angiogenesis (2008)

Inflammatory reactions coinciding with carcinogenesis can be visualized by the presence of specific bone marrow-derived, inflammatory cells in patients' peripheral blood. Recent findings suggest that such inflammatory fingerprints may better define the inflammatory nature of the primary malignancy and, thus, allow the design of therapeutic strategies targeting the protumorigenic immune cell stroma compartment.
A potent and selective Sirtuin 1 inhibitor alleviates pathology in multiple animal and cell models of Huntington's disease (2014)

Protein acetylation, which is central to transcriptional control as well as other cellular processes, is disrupted in Huntington's disease (HD). Treatments that restore global acetylation levels, such as inhibiting histone deacetylases (HDACs), are effective in suppressing HD pathology in model organisms. However, agents that selectively target the disease-relevant HDACs have not been available. SirT1 (Sir2 in Drosophila melanogaster) deacetylates histones and other proteins including transcription factors. Genetically reducing, but not eliminating, Sir2 has been shown to suppress HD pathology in model organisms. To date, small molecule inhibitors of sirtuins have exhibited low potency and unattractive pharmacological and biopharmaceutical properties. Here, we show that highly selective pharmacological inhibition of Drosophila Sir2 and mammalian SirT1 using the novel inhibitor selisistat (selisistat; 6-chloro-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole-1-carboxamide) can suppress HD pathology caused by mutant huntingtin exon 1 fragments in Drosophila, mammalian cells and mice. We have validated Sir2 as the in vivo target of selisistat by showing that genetic elimination of Sir2 eradicates the effect of this inhibitor in Drosophila. The specificity of selisistat is shown by its effect on recombinant sirtuins in mammalian cells. Reduction of HD pathology by selisistat in Drosophila, mammalian cells and mouse models of HD suggests that this inhibitor has potential as an effective therapeutic treatment for human disease and may also serve as a tool to better understand the downstream pathways of SirT1/Sir2 that may be critical for HD.

Cell-Based High-Frequency IC Design in Scaled CMOS (2007)

This paper presents a cell-based modeling and design platform for high-frequency analog ICs to shorten design cycle time and to minimize the risk for mask re-spin. Based on a pre-characterized analog sub-circuit cell library, which contains not only active devices and passive components but also routing interconnects. This methodology systematically alleviates modeling inaccuracy at high frequencies due to the difference in the layout between device test structures and actual circuit implementation. By exploiting the modularity in analog circuits at the sub-circuit level, the proposed design platform achieves a balance between design flexibility and modeling accuracy compared. The macro modeling techniques the sub-circuit cells will be described along with measurement results from a characterization test chip. The design and measured results of an UWB LNA utilizing the cell library will be presented.

Despite improvements in healthcare delivery, mortality rates for high-output fistulae remain unchanged. The pathophysiology and causes of fistulae are reviewed in this article. An overview of the diagnostic procedures to delineate fistulae and underlying bowel disease together with their complications is included. Management of high-output fistulae consists of assessment and stabilization of patients, followed by conservative management by a multidisciplinary team until spontaneous or surgical closure of fistulae.
Pharmacokinetics and toxicity of tolonium chloride in sheep. (1996)

The pharmacokinetic disposition, urinary excretion and toxicity of tolonium chloride were determined after i.v. administration to sheep. Pretreatment with sodium nitrite significantly decreased the volume of the central compartment, apparent volume of distribution, area under the concentration-time curve, and total body clearance of tolonium chloride. Urinary excretion of tolonium chloride and its metabolite, leucotolonium chloride, together accounted for less than 15% of the administered dose in sheep receiving sodium nitrite and less than 10% of the administered dose in control sheep. The LD50 of tolonium chloride was 10 mg/kg with a 95% confidence interval of 7.35-13.60 mg/kg. Comparison with previously published data describing the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of a related compound, methylene blue, indicated that tolonium chloride has a higher volume of distribution and a narrower therapeutic index.
Power efficient semi-automatic instruction encoding for application specific instruction set processors (2002)

A novel design methodology for the implementation of control units for application specific instruction set processors (ASIPS) is described. This methodology uses automatic instruction encoding and semi-automatic generation of the hardware instruction decoder to speed up the ASIP design. Significant power savings due to optimized instruction encoding are achieved. Results for ICORE (ISS-Core), which is an ASIP for digital video broadcasting algorithms of Infineon Technologies, demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of this approach.
