Checking and Correcting the Source Code of Web Pages for Accessibility (2012)

This paper aims to propose and experiment a framework for checking and correcting websites for accessibility. Existing tools usually check the WCAG-conformance of HTML client pages (that contain the static elements to be displayed through a browser to end users at a moment). Consequently, web developers have to do tedious works of identifying which parts of server source pages (i.e. server-side source codes that generate HTML client pages) cause non-conformant client elements. Unlike these tools, our framework allows directly reporting and suggesting solutions for the elements in the server source pages. The proposed method composes of four steps. First, the HTML client page and the server source page are parsed. Second, the elements of HTML client page that are non-conformant with the WCAG success criteria are identified and reported. Third, a mapping between the HTML client page and the server source page is established. Fourth, fixes to the server source page are suggested; this implies automatic modification of the code of server source page. Therefore, this framework can be applied to create new accessible websites, or to improve the accessibility of existing websites.

Sound through bone conduction in public interfaces (2001)

Noise level in public spaces sometimes makes imposible to focus on particular sound information. In other cases, such focus is needed even when environmental sound information is also important. In this paper, we describe the use of bone vibration as an applicable technology in both public and private interfaces, when environment sound information or environmental sound contamination are regarded as important factors.
Software Component Technologies: Javabeans And Activex (2005)

In today's highly competitive market, adapting to rapid and profound changes in business needs and requirements is a necessity. This has created a fast growing demand for rapid and cost-effective development of large-scale, complex, and highly maintainable software systems.

The Virtual Automation Lab-Web based teaching of automation engineering concepts (2002)

Our Virtual Automation Lab is a Web based interactive learning environment for both Computer Science and Automation Engineering concepts within a virtual university setting. We describe three Lab exercises in which students learn how to operate CAN fieldbus devices without any physical proximity to the devices themselves. One of the exercises is a pure simulation realized with a Java applet. In the other exercises, Java applets provide a remote interface to a server which acts as a bridge between the Internet and the CAN fieldbus. No proprietary software has to be installed and no browser plug-ins are needed to access the devices via the Internet. While our exercises pave the ground for teaching Lab based courses over the Internet, or enriching physical Labs with virtual devices that are located elsewhere, our Java based software solutions may also form the basis for industrial applications like remote control, monitoring, maintenance, or data acquisition.
<i>Pseudomonas</i> - <i>Candida</i> Interactions: An Ecological Role for Virulence Factors (2002)

Bacterial-fungal interactions have great environmental, medical, and economic importance, yet few have been well characterized at the molecular level. Here, we describe a pathogenic interaction between Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans , two opportunistic pathogens. P. aeruginosa forms a dense biofilm on C. albicans filaments and kills the fungus. In contrast, P. aeruginosa neither binds to nor kills yeast-form C. albicans . Several P. aeruginosa virulence factors that are important in disease are involved in the killing of C. albicans filaments. We propose that many virulence factors studied in the context of human infection may also have a role in bacterial-fungal interactions.
Evidence for the Proenkephalin Processing Enzyme Prohormone Thiol Protease (PTP) as a Multicatalytic Cysteine Protease Complex:  Activation by Glutathione Localized to Secretory Vesicles (1999)

The cysteine protease known as "prohormone thiol protease" (PTP) has been identified as a major proenkephalin processing enzyme in secretory vesicles of adrenal medulla (known as chromaffin granules). This study provides the first demonstration that PTP exists as a multicatalytic cysteine protease complex that can be activated by endogenous glutathione present in chromaffin granules. The high molecular mass nature of PTP, of approximately 185 kDa, was demonstrated by elution of a single peak of 35S-enkephalin precursor cleaving activity by Sephacryl S200 gel filtration chromatography and by a single band of 35S-enkephalin precursor cleaving activity detected on radiozymogram gels under native buffer conditions. Importantly, when 0.1% SDS was included in radiozymogram gels, PTP activity was resolved into three bands of proteolytic activity with apparent molecular masses of 88, 81, and 61 kDa. These activities were all cysteine proteases, since they were inhibited by the cysteine protease inhibitor E-64c but not by pepstatin A or EDTA that inhibit aspartyl protease and metalloprotease, respectively. Purification of native PTP by preparative gel electrophoresis indicated that PTP was composed of four polypeptides of 66, 60, 33, and 29 kDa detected on SDS-PAGE gels. These four protein subunits accounted for the three catalytic activities of PTP, as demonstrated on 35S-enkephalin precursor radiozymogram gels. Results also indicated that the electrophoretic mobilities of the four subunits differed under reducing compared to nonreducing conditions. The multicatalytic activities of the PTP complex all require reducing conditions for activity, which can be provided by endogenous reduced glutathione in chromaffin granules. These novel findings provide the first evidence for a role of a multicatalytic cysteine protease complex, PTP, in chromaffin granules that may be involved in the proteolytic processing of proenkephalin and perhaps other precursors into active neuropeptides.
Dynamic multichannel near-infrared optical imaging of human brain activity (1993)

The present paper demonstrates functional brain mapping with an optical imaging technique by using tissue-transparent near-infrared light. With a maximal five-channel optical monitoring system, we succeeded in detecting region-specific changes in both the hemoglobin oxygenation state and blood volume during various mental tasks, in addition to visual and auditory stimulation. The time course of increases in blood supply varied with each brain region and depended on the type of internal operations occurring during the mental tasks. Changes in the hemoglobin oxygenation state were also different from region to region. This showed that there were regional variations of the oxygen delivery-oxygen utilization relationship during activation of brain activity. The usefulness of multichannel near-infrared functional imaging was well documented.

CRRA: A collaborative approach to re-ranking search results (2010)

Web search is not only an individual activity, but also a collaborative activity. By analyzing users' search activities at a community level, effectively refining the ranking of search results has received wide attention in information retrieval in recent years. Previous research has proposed approaches that predefined communities to search collaboratively. However, these approaches usually neglected correlation between users. In this study, we propose a novel collaborative approach (CRRA) for re-ranking search results based on user search activities recorded in query logs. The central idea is to establish correlations among three factors: user, query and document terms, by analyzing user logs. These correlations are then employed to determine community dynamically based on probability theory and collaborative filtering technique and calculate re-ranking score of search results. Evaluation results show that CRRA is more effective than other collaborative ranking approaches.
Heterelogous Expression of Plant Genes (2009)

Heterologous expression allows the production of plant proteins in an organism which is simpler than the natural source. This technology is widely used for large-scale purification of plant proteins from microorganisms for biochemical and biophysical analyses. Additionally expression in well-defined model organisms provides insights into the functions of proteins in complex pathways. The present review gives an overview of recombinant plant protein production methods using bacteria, yeast, insect cells, and Xenopus laevis oocytes and discusses the advantages of each system for functional studies and protein characterization.

Demonstration of different contractile mechanisms for angiotensin II and des-Asp1-angiotensin II in rabbit aortic strips. (1977)

Evidence of selective inhibition, differences in dose-response relationships, and cross-tachyphylaxis studies suggest that separate receptors and/or mechanisms may be involved in responses to angiotensin (Ang), [Sar1]Ang II, and Ang III (= des-Asp1-Ang II). The extracellular Ca2+ requirement for contractile responses induced by angiotensin peptides and norepinephrine was determined in rabbit aortic strips. Responses to K+ and [Sar1]Ang II were attenuated markedly by treatment with SKF-525A, verapamil, or Ca2+-free buffer. The response to Ang II was not impaired by verapamil, was blocked partially by SKF-525A, and was reduced markedly in Ca2+-free medium. Norepinephrine- and Ang III-induced contractions were not dependent on extracellular Ca2+. K+, Ang II, and [Sar1]Ang II required extracellular Ca2+ to induce contraction of the rabbit aorta. The data indicate that Ang III may have a mechanism of action that differs from that of [Sar1]Ang II and Ang II.
<title>Automatic Workpiece Surface Tracker For Laser Cutter</title> (1980)

Precise guidance of high energy laser beams is important in industrial laser machining to optimize the use of the available power and to assure high quality work. A crossed beam depth gauge has been designed that measures the distance to the workpiece surface with an accuracy of one part in two thousand over a range of 10 cm. The television camera based system is described along with an analysis of its performance.
The Fourier scope: An optical instrument for measuring LCD viewing‐angle characteristics (1996)

Abstract— An optical system called the Fourier scope is an improved alternative to the conoscopic microscope for instant measurement of LCD viewing‐angle patterns. The Fourier scope includes a hand‐held detecting head for measuring on‐line flat‐panel LCDs, and allows non‐critical measurement distances ranging from millimeters to centimeters, a viewing‐angle range of ±70°, the use of true color patterns describing color fidelity or dispersion effects, and approximately linear viewing‐angle coordinates.
The cutaneous barrier to salts and water in psoriasis and in normal skin (1973)

A study has been made of the transepidermal water loss and its sodium and potassium content in normal and psoriatic skin. The results show a preservation of the electrolyte barrier in active psoriasis despite serious impairment of the water barrier.
Self-starting, self-regulating Fourier domain mode locked fiber laser for OCT imaging (2011)

We present a Fourier domain mode locking (FDML) fiber laser with a feedback loop allowing automatic startup without a priori knowledge of the fundamental drive frequency. The feedback can also regulate the drive frequency making the source robust against environmental variations. A control system samples the energy of the light traversing the FDML cavity and uses a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) to drive the tunable fiber Fabry-Perot filter in order to maximize that energy. We demonstrate a prototype self-starting, self-regulating FDML operating at 40 kHz with a full width tuning range of 140 nm around 1305 nm and a power output of ~40 mW. The laser starts up with no operator intervention in less than 5 seconds and exhibits improved spectral stability over a conventional FDML source. In OCT applications the source achieved over 120 dB detection sensitivity and an ~8.9-µm axial resolution.
이산 웨이브렛 변환을 이용한 고각성 부정 감성의 GSR 신호 분석 (2017)

감성은 의사 결정, 지각 등에 직접적으로 영향을 미치며 인간의 삶에서 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 고각성부정 감성의 편리하고 정확한 인식에 있어서, 생체신호를 이용한 분석 알고리즘을 설계하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 보통 / 공포 감성 유발 영상을 이용하여 두 감성을 유도한 후, 생체신호 중 간단한 피부전도도 신호를 측정하였다. 측정된 피부전도도에 대해 Tonic 성분과 Phasic 성분으로 분해하고 감성 자극과 관련된 Phasic 성분을 더 상세하게 SCVSR, SCSR로 분해하여 각 성분의 주요한 특징들을 추출함으로써, 정확한 분석을 하기 위해 기존의 사용된 방법이 아닌 우수한 시간-주파수 지역화 특성을 가진 이산 웨이브렛 변환을 사용하였다. 추출된 특징들은 Phasic 성분의 최댓값, Phasic 성분의 진폭, SCVSR의 영교차율, SCSR의 영교차율이다. 분석 결과, 4가지 특징들 모두 고각성 부정 감성의 경우가 저각성 보통 감성의 경우보다 더 높은 값을 나타내고, 기존의 분석 방법보다 통계적으로 두 감정 사이의 더 유의미한 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 따라 본 연구의 결과는 피부전도도가 고각성 부정감성 측정에 대해 유용한 지표라는 것을 확인하였으며, 향후 피부전도도를 이용한 실시간 부정 감성 평가 시스템 개발에 기여할 수 있을 것을 나타낸다.
Particle swarm optimization with dynamic neighborhood topology: Three neighborhood strategies and preliminary results (2008)

In this article we consider a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm in which the neighbors of the particles or basically the neighborhood topology dynamically changes with time. We consider probabilistic and distance based approaches for determining the neighbors of the particles and represent the dynamic neighborhood topology by a time varying graph. Simulations of several benchmark functions are performed in order to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.
The role of the gut microbiome in the development and progression of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (2014)

Liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represent the endstage of most chronic liver diseases and are a major global health burden. It has been consistently shown that both liver cirrhosis and HCC are triggered by inflammatory processes, but the molecular mechanisms linking chronic hepatitis with cirrhosis and HCC are only poorly understood. Recent studies suggested that the intestinal microflora as a main source of portal-vein LPS might play a critical role in this process. Here we summarize the available literature on the role of the gut microbiome in hepatofibrogenesis and -carcinogenesis. Such knowledge might help to develop novel, innovative strategies for the prevention and therapy of liver disease.
An association rule mining-based methodology for automated detection of ischemic ECG beats (2006)

Currently, an automated methodology based on association rules is presented for the detection of ischemic beats in long duration electrocardiographic (ECG) recordings. The proposed approach consists of three stages. 1) Preprocessing: Noise is removed and all the necessary ECG features are extracted. 2) Discretization: The continuous valued features are transformed to categorical. 3) CLASSIFICATION: An association rule extraction algorithm is utilized and a rule-based classification model is created. According to the proposed methodology, electrocardiogram (ECG) features extracted from the ST segment and the T-wave, as well as the patient's age, were used as inputs. The output was the classification of the beat as ischemic or not. Various algorithms were tested both for discretization and for classification using association rules. To evaluate the methodology, a cardiac beat dataset was constructed using several recordings of the European Society of Cardiology ST-T database. The obtained sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) was 87% and 93%, respectively. The proposed methodology combines high accuracy with the ability to provide interpretation for the decisions made, since it is based on a set of association rules.
Transdifferentiation of Human Fibroblasts to Endothelial Cells (2014)

This study suggests that manipulation of innate immune signaling may be generally used to modify cell fate. Because similar signaling pathways are activated by damage-associated molecular patterns, epigenetic plasticity induced by innate immunity may play a fundamental role in transdifferentiation during wound healing and regeneration. Finally, this study is a first step toward development of a small-molecule strategy for therapeutic transdifferentiation for vascular disease.
Study On Ultrasonic Vibration Effects On Grinding Process Of Alumina Ceramic (Al2O3) (2008)

Nowadays, engineering ceramics have significant applications in different industries such as; automotive, aerospace, electrical, electronics and even martial industries due to their attractive physical and mechanical properties like very high hardness and strength at elevated temperatures, chemical stability, low friction and high wear resistance. However, these interesting properties plus low heat conductivity make their machining processes too hard, costly and time consuming. Many attempts have been made in order to make the grinding process of engineering ceramics easier and many scientists have tried to find proper techniques to economize ceramics' machining processes. This paper proposes a new diamond plunge grinding technique using ultrasonic vibration for grinding Alumina ceramic (Al2O3). For this purpose, a set of laboratory equipments have been designed and simulated using Finite Element Method (FEM) and constructed in order to be used in various measurements. The results obtained have been compared with the conventional plunge grinding process without ultrasonic vibration and indicated that the surface roughness and fracture strength improved and the grinding forces decreased.
Deep Reinforcement Learning for Detecting Malicious Websites (2019)

Phishing is the simplest form of cybercrime with the objective of baiting people into giving away delicate information such as individually recognizable data, banking and credit card details, or even credentials and passwords. This type of simple yet most effective cyber-attack is usually launched through emails, phone calls, or instant messages. The credential or private data stolen are then used to get access to critical records of the victims and can result in extensive fraud and monetary loss. Hence, sending malicious messages to victims is a stepping stone of the phishing procedure. A \textit{phisher} usually setups a deceptive website, where the victims are conned into entering credentials and sensitive information. It is therefore important to detect these types of malicious websites before causing any harmful damages to victims. Inspired by the evolving nature of the phishing websites, this paper introduces a novel approach based on deep reinforcement learning to model and detect malicious URLs. The proposed model is capable of adapting to the dynamic behavior of the phishing websites and thus learn the features associated with phishing website detection.
