A Cad-based System For Automated Inspection Of Machined Parts (2005)

Although many special purpose inspection systems have been developed, general purpose systems utalizing CAD models of the parts are still in the research stage. While it is easy to define ad hoc algorithms for inspection, it is much more diflcult to justify the algorithms with solid theory. In this paper we describe a CAD-model-based machine vision system for dimensional inspection of machined parts, with emphasis on the theory behind the system, The original contributions of our work are: 1) the use of precise definitions of geometric tolerances suitable for use in image processing, 2) the development of measurement algorithms corresponding directly to these definitions, 3) the derivation of the uncertainties in the measurement tasks, and 4) the use of this uncertainty information in the decision-making process. Our experimental results have verified the uncertainty derivations statistically, proved that the error probabilities obtained by propagating uncertainties are lower than those obtaanable without uncertainty propagation, and demonstrated that the inspection system responds in a predictable manner when applied to deformed objects.

Consideration of Dewaxing Process (2005)

As a new agent that permits dewaxing without using xylene or xylene substitutes, we prepared a detergent including cleaning substance that we deem effective and tried it for dewaxing after heated. Paraffin dissolution-removal effect was not exactly adequate, compared with xylene, but we were able to obtain staining results almost comparable to those dewaxed with xylene for Hematoxylin-Eosin stain (H & E) and various special stains as well. Like ordinary commercial detergents, this agent is legally allowed to be drained into sewer system. We expect that this agent can contribute to improving work environment by minimizing use of xylene and alcohol in laboratories.
A natural language generation system based on dynamic knowledge base (2002)

This paper describes a domain-specialized natural language generation system-Intelligent Scenes Inquiring System (ISIS), which automatically produce Chinese text with information of a park and the scenes in it when the user asks a question in Chinese. One feature of ISIS is the discourse focusing strategy in text planning, another is the use of a dynamic knowledge base that includes a map of a park and some forms filled by the user. This feature makes the use of ISIS common to all parks.
Immunoregulatory Lymphokines of T Hybridomas from AIDS Patients: Constitutive and Inducible Suppressor Factors (1984)

Supernatants derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures of certain patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or its prodromes have the capacity to block T cell-dependent immune reactivity in vitro. T cells derived from a patient positive for antibody to the lymphadenopathy associated virus ( LAV ), and elaborating high titers of these soluble suppressor factors, were fused to a mutagenized clone of the human T lymphoblastoid cell line KE37 . Molecules capable of profoundly depressing T cell-dependent polyclonal antibody production and DNA synthetic responses, either directly or after incubation with normal adherent cells, were isolated from stable hybrid clones.
Neuropathology of mild cognitive impairment (2007)

We aim to investigate the pathological background of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The most recent 545 cases from the Brain Bank for Aging Research (BBAR) were studied, with a mean age of 80.7 years and male : female ratio of 324 : 221. Cases with clinical dementia rating scale (CDR) 0.5 were retrieved as the best substitute of MCI. CDR was retrospectively determined from clinical charts. Pathological examinations followed the BBAR protocol (JNEN 2004). Post mortem assessment of CDR was possible for 486 cases, and was 0 in 201 cases, 0.5 in 57 cases and 1-3 in 228 cases. CDR 0.5 group was clinicopathologically classified into 33 cases with degenerative changes, nine cases with vascular changes, four cases with combined degenerative and vascular changes, two with hippocampal sclerosis, two with trauma, one with metabolic disease and six with unremarkable changes. The degenerative group was further subclassified into groups with pure and combined pathology. The former consisted of six cases each with Alzheimer change (AC), argyrophilic grain change (AGC) and neurofibrillary tangle predominant change (NFTC), three each with Lewy body disease change without parkinsonism (DLBC) or Parkinson's disease (PDMCI) and one case with progressive supranuclear palsy. The latter consisted of three cases with AC plus AGC, two with AGC plus NFTC and one each with AC plus DLBC, DLBC plus amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and AGC plus DLBC. The pathological backgrounds of patients of class CDR 0.5 were varied and not restricted to AC.
Evidence for association of HLA-A2 allele with onset age of Alzheimer's disease (1997)

Our earlier studies had suggested a possible association between the HLA-A2 allele and Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present study we tested the hypothesis that A2 is associated with earlier AD onset. We performed two independent studies: a collaborative study with 111 patients and a confirmatory study with 96 patients. We found similar patterns of reduced age at onset as a function of A2 in both data sets. Overall, A2 was associated with a significant 3-year shift to earlier onset. The effects of A2 and epsilon 4 on age at onset appeared additive. Our results suggest A2, or a closely linked gene, modulates onset age of AD. Association with A2 would suggest an immune/inflammatory response mechanism for AD.
Optimal Dose of Amoxicillin in Treatment of Otitis Media Caused by a Penicillin-Resistant Pneumococcus Strain in the Gerbil Model (2002)

Amoxicillin at doses of 0.2 to 5 mg/kg of body weight was administered for the treatment of pneumococcal otitis media in a gerbil model. Doses greater than or equal to 2.5 mg/kg, which resulted in concentrations in middle ear fluid of > or = 1.4 microg/ml and concentrations in serum higher than the MIC (1 microg/ml) for > or = 14% of the dosing interval, were both clinically and bacteriologically effective.

A Simple Method for the Analysis of On‐Farm Strip Trials (2012)

The design and analysis of experiments in farmers’ fields using commercial yield monitoring equipment has received considerable attention in the last decade. Complex design and analytical techniques have been developed to maximize the utility of the trial to the producer while retaining the potential for robust statistical analysis. However, implementation of such approaches requires access to specialists in spatial analysis, geostatistics, and geographic information systems (GIS) and so is rarely implemented by farmers and their advisors. Here we explore a new and simple approach to the analysis of farmer strip trials and the spatial variability of treatment response. Strip trials evaluating different fertilizer treatments were conducted in farmers’ fields in South Australia and Western Australia. Yield data were subjected to analysis with a linear model that accounted for the spatial autocorrelation in the data, a linear model that did not account for the spatial correlation and a moving pairwise comparison of treatments. Results suggest the pairwise comparison adequately identified treatment differences and their significance. Since this method can be readily implemented in a simple spreadsheet, it offers an important advance in facilitating on‐farm experimentation using precision agriculture technologies.
Sorafenib-mediated Mcl-1 and cFLIPL down-regulation synergistically increase TRAIL lethality in human leukemia cells (2007)

B42 In the present study, interactions between the Raf and multi-kinase inhibitor Sorafenib and TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) were investigated in malignant hematopoietic cells. Pretreatment (24h) of U937 leukemia cells with 7.5 μM sorafenib, a concentration that was minimally toxic, dramatically and synergistically potentiated apoptosis induced by sub-lethal concentrations of TRAIL/Apo2L (e.g., 75ng/ml). Similar interactions were observed in other malignant hematopoietic cells including Raji, Jurkat, Karpas, K562, U266 cells and primary AML blasts. Notably, the combination was minimally toxic to normal CD34+ bone marrow cells. Exposure of sorafenib-pretreated cells to TRAIL potently and rapidly induced mitochondrial injury and release of cytochrome c, Smac and AIF into the cytosol, and caspase -9, -3, -7, and -8 activation. Sorafenib pretreatment also downregulated Bcl-xL and abrogated Mcl-1 expression, while co-administration of TRAIL strikingly increased Bid activation, conformational change of Bak (ccBak) and Bax (ccBax), and Bax translocation. Ectopic Mcl-1 expression significantly attenuated sorafenib/TRAIL-mediated lethality and dramatically reduced ccBak while minimally affecting levels of ccBax. Similarly, inhibition of the receptor-mediated apoptotic cascade (i.e., in U937 cells ectopically expressing a caspase-8 dominant-negative construct) significantly blocked Sorafenib/TRAIL-induced lethality but not Mcl-1 down-regulation or Bak/Bax conformational change, indicating that TRAIL-mediated receptor pathway activation is required for maximal lethality. No changes were observed in levels of DR4/DR5 or recruitment of procaspase-8 or FADD to the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC); however, sequential administration of sorafenib/TRAIL strikingly increased activation of DISC-associated procaspase-8. Attention then focused on cFLIP (FLICE-inhibitory protein), a potent procaspase-8 inhibitor. Pre-exposure of cells to sorafenib led to marked cFLIPL down-regulation, but no changes in expression of the short form of this protein (cFLIPS). Mooreover, sorafenib-mediated cFLIPL downregulation involved a translational mechanism associated with diminished eIF4E phosphorylation. Notably, ectopic expression of cFLIPL significantly reduced sorafenib/TRAIL lethality. Together, these results, taken in conjunction with earlier findings, suggest that in human leukemia cells, sorafenib potentiates TRAIL-induced lethality by down-regulating Mcl-1 and cFLIPL, most likely at the translational level, and these events cooperate to promote simultaneous engagement of the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic cascades, culminating in pronounced mitochondrial injury and apoptosis. They also suggest that a strategy combining sorafenib with TRAIL warrants attention in leukemia and possibly other hematologic malignancies.
Bayes Risk-based Dialogue Management for Document Retrieval System with Speech Interface (2008)

We propose an efficient dialogue management for an information navigation system based on a document knowledge base with a spoken dialogue interface. In order to perform robustly for fragmental speech input and erroneous output of an automatic speech recognition (ASR), the system should selectively use N-best hypotheses of ASR and contextual information. The system also has several choices in generating responses or confirmations. In this work, we formulate the optimization of the choices based on a unified criterion: Bayes risk, which is defined based on reward for correct information presentation and penalty for redundant turns. We have evaluated this strategy with a spoken dialogue system which also has questionanswering capability. Effectiveness of the proposed framework was confirmed in the success rate of retrieval and the average number of turns. 1
Dynamic diversification of continuous data (2012)

Result diversification has recently attracted considerable attention as a means of increasing user satisfaction in recommender systems, as well as in web and database search. In this paper, we focus on the problem of selecting the k-most diverse items from a result set. Whereas previous research has mainly considered the static version of the problem, in this paper, we exploit the dynamic case in which the result set changes over time, as for example, in the case of notification services. We define the Continuous k-Diversity Problem along with appropriate constraints that enforce continuity requirements on the diversified results. Our proposed approach is based on cover trees and supports dynamic item insertion and deletion. The diversification problem is in general NP-complete; we provide theoretical bounds that characterize the quality of our solution based on cover trees with respect to the optimal solution. Finally, we report experimental results concerning the efficiency and effectiveness of our approach on a variety of real and synthetic datasets.
Synthesis and Electrochemical Properties of Single-Crystal V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> Nanorod Arrays by Template-Based Electrodeposition (2004)

This paper reports a study on template-growth and electrochemical properties of single-crystal vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanorod arrays from VOSO4 aqueous solution using electrochemical deposition. Uniformly sized vanadium oxide nanorods with a length of about 10 μm with diameters ranging from 100 to 200 nm were grown over a large area with near unidirectional alignment. These nanorods have single-crystalline structure with a growth direction of [010]. Electrochemical property analysis indicates that nanorod array electrodes have significantly higher current density and energy storage density than sol−gel-derived V2O5 films.
Implementing reusable, instrument independent test programs in the factory (2002)

Development of computer programs that control test sequences on automatic test equipment (ATE) is costly and time consuming. Test programs are usually written by specifying the instruments to be used in the ATE and the sequence of the setup and measurement parameters for these instruments. Reuse of test program software on other ATE is usually not possible without rewriting, revalidating and re-releasing the programs. This paper describes an implementation of a test program software development system and a standard software runtime architecture used in factories. The object oriented development environment and its associated class libraries allow test programs to be written without knowledge of the ATE on which they will be run, Two main principles guided the design: the software architecture was based on recognized formal and industry standards, and our implementation used commercial on-the-shelf software products when possible. Emerging standards such as the IEEE-1226 (ABBET) as well as de facto industry standards including VXI Plug and Play have made our implementation possible. The current draft of the ABBET and P&P standards do not promote this instrument independence, but it is hoped that this will be added as the standards mature. Three immediate benefits are: cost savings that result from reusing validated test programs, cycle time reductions that result from concurrently developing test program software and ATE, and software defect reductions that result from using proven software.
Development of a novel planar actuator (1999)

Planar motors, also named surface motors, x-y motors or two-dimensional linear motors, can be used in applications that require movement on a plane in two directions (x-y axes), e.g. movers of semiconductor waffles, printed circuits, and pieces machined by numerically controlled machines. The use of electronic control systems allows motion of that sort with accurate position detection and rapid response without loss of steps or position deviation. This paper depicts a new planar actuator with novel structure and construction features. Many research centres are involved in the development of surface motors usually based on the Sawyer motor topology. The novel planar actuator analysed by this work has quite different characteristics in its structure: a stationary slotless armature with orthogonal windings; and a mover with two high-energy product NdFeB permanent magnets. Owing to its topology, the planar actuator develops movement over a plane surface. It results from the interaction between the magnetic flux and current established through the orthogonal multiphase windings that comprehend the armature circuit. The actuator was analysed by means of the finite element method in order to compute the forces involved and improve its design. The results are presented in this paper.

Lebensmonat geimpft werden, alle noch nicht geimpften Kinder und Jugendlichen bis zum vollendeten 17. Lebensjahr, möglichst vor Eintritt der Pubertät, sowie die in der Indikationsliste der STIKO aufgeführten Personen mit erhöhtem Hepatitis-B-Risiko (B/C).
A total dietary program emphasizing magnesium instead of calcium. Effect on the mineral density of calcaneous bone in postmenopausal women on hormonal therapy. (1990)

The use of calcium supplementation for the management of primary postmenopausal osteoporosis (PPMO) has increased significantly in the past few years. A review of the published data does not support calcium megadosing during postmenopause. Controlled studies showed no significant effect of calcium intake on mineral density of trabecular bone and a slight effect on cortical bone. Since PPMO is predominantly due to demineralization of trabecular bone, there is no justification for calcium megadosing in postmenopausal women. Soft tissue calcification is a serious risk factor during calcium megadosing under certain conditions. A total dietary program emphasizing magnesium instead of calcium for the management of PPMO takes into account the available data on the effects of magnesium, life-style and dietary habits on bone integrity and PPMO. When this dietary program was tested on 19 postmenopausal women on hormonal replacement therapy who were compared to 7 control postmenopausal women, a significant increase in mineral bone density of the calcaneous bone (BMD) was observed within one year. Fifteen of the 19 women had had BMD below the spine fracture threshold before treatment; within one year, only 7 of them still had BMD values below that threshold.
A Comparative Study on the Financial Feasibility of Private Investment Projects with Changes in Port Cost Efficiency Using System Dynamics (2021)

The purpose of this paper is to present a model that complements the limitations of the discounted cash flow method and can consider various aspects of private business operators'' investment decisions. At the same time, at the national level, a financial feasibility study was conducted to ensure the efficiency of national fiscal input in the port sector through appropriate use of private capital. The results are as follows. As shown in the causal map of the financial model, the efficiency figure has a feedback relationship with the items of over-input and under-output, so it can be seen immediately that the result value changes dynamically according to the degree to which each item changes according to the change in efficiency. Through this, it is possible to individually adjust the input excess and output deficiency, but it also has the advantage of being able to find the optimal input and output values by adjusting the two items at the same time.
What is remembered? Role of attention on the encoding and retrieval of hippocampal representations (2009)

The hippocampus is critically involved in storing explicit memory such as memory for space. A defining feature of explicit memory storage is that it requires attention both for encoding and retrieval. Whereas, a great deal is now known about the mechanisms of storage, the mechanisms whereby attention modulates the encoding and retrieval of space and other hippocampus-dependent memory representations are not known. In this review we discuss recent studies, including our own, which show on the cellular level that attention is critical for the stabilization of spatial and reward-associated odour representations. Our findings support the view that in the hippocampus attention selects the reference frame for task-relevant information. This mechanism is in part mediated by dopamine acting through D1/D5 receptors and involves an increase in neuronal synchronization in the gamma band frequency. We propose that synchronous activity leads to enhancements in synaptic strength that mediate the stabilization of hippocampal representations.
Factors Influencing HPV Vaccine Use among Racially Diverse Female College Students (2014)

Abstract\nObjective. This study describes Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates and possible factors influencing vaccination utilization rates in a diverse population of college women 18-26 years old.\nMethods. The National College Health Assessment survey provided a large diverse sample size (N=67,762) in which to perform descriptive and binary logistic regression analysis. Demographic characteristics were analyzed as potential barriers to HPV vaccination. Additionally, lack of certain health behaviors were explored as potential barriers to HPV vaccination.\nResults. In this study, White/non-Hispanic women had a higher HPV vaccination rate when compared to minority women. Binary regression analysis demonstrated that minority women were less likely to receive the HPV vaccine. Women who received a gynecological exam were more likely to receive the vaccine, as were women who had health insurance coverage. Health indicators predictive of receiving the HPV vaccine included receiving the influenza vaccine and not reporting obesity. Furthermore, as the age of the respondents increased, the likelihood of receiving the vaccine decreased. Similarly as the number of reported sexual partners increased the likelihood of receiving the HPV vaccine increased.\nConclusion. Advocacy for increased provider visits (i.e., gynecological exams) and other preventive health services (such as influenza vaccine drives) in the female student population could be an opportunity for increased HPV education and vaccination. Realization that minority women in higher education may have lower HPV vaccination rates may be a catalyst for student health departments to explore health promotion activities to benefit these women.
