Interactive query formulation over web service-accessed sources (2006)

Integration systems typically support only a restricted set of queries over the schema they export. The reason is that the participating information sources contribute limited content and limited access methods. In prior work, these limited access methods have often been specified using a set of parameterized views, with the understanding that the integration system accepts only queries which have an equivalent rewriting using the views. These queries are called feasible. Infeasible queries are rejected without an explanatory feedback. To help a developer, who is building an integration application, avoid a frustrating trial-and-error cycle, we introduce the CLIDE query formulation interface, which extends the QBE-like query builder of Microsoft's SQL Server with a coloring scheme that guides the user toward formulating feasible queries. We provide guarantees that the suggested query edit actions are complete (i.e. each feasible query can be built by following only suggestions), rapidly convergent (the suggestions are tuned to lead to the closest feasible completions of the query) and suitably summarized (at each interaction step, only a minimal number of actions needed to preserve completeness are suggested). We present the algorithms, implementation and performance evaluation showing that CLIDE is a viable on-line tool.
Cell-Specific Transfection of Choriocarcinoma Cells by Using Sindbis Virus hCG Expressing Chimeric Vector (1998)

The development of Sindbis virus vectors that can target specific cell types would provide an important gene therapy strategy. We explored the possibility of designing a Sindbis virus vector that can target human choriocarcinoma cells via ligand-receptor interaction. The Sindbis virus envelope gene was modified by insertion of the alpha- and beta-hCG genes. The chimeric helper RNA was then transfected into BHK cells along with a virus-based expression vector, allowing the production of virus particles containing hCG-envelope chimeras. The hCG-envelope chimeric virus vector has minimal infectivities against BHK cells and human cancer cells which do not contain LH/CG receptors on their surface. This vector can, however, infect and transfer a reporter gene to choriocarcinoma cells as well as other cells bearing LH/CG receptors. This chimeric Sindbis virus vector may provide a novel approach for gene therapy of gestational trophoblast disease and placental dysfunction.

Isolation and characterization of a novel trophoblast-specific cDNA in the mouse. (1988)

A novel trophoblast-specific cDNA has been isolated by differential screening of a 13.5-day mouse placental cDNA library. The 755-bp cDNA, which is almost full length, encodes a polypeptide of 124 amino acids with an 18-amino-acid hydrophobic leader sequence. No significant homology with any known gene or protein has been detected. Northern blot analysis has shown that the gene is expressed abundantly in the placenta and is not detected in any other tissues. In situ hybridization revealed that the gene is expressed first in a subgroup of ectoplacental cone cells at 7.5 days of development and its later expression is confined to the spongiotrophoblast cells of the mature placenta. The role of the gene is not currently known, but the presence of a signal peptide suggests that it may be a secreted protein.
Emerging Memory Technologies: Recent Trends and Prospects (2016)

This tutorial introduces the basics of emerging nonvolatile memory (NVM) technologies including spin-transfer-torque magnetic random access memory (STTMRAM), phase-change random access memory (PCRAM), and resistive random access memory (RRAM). Emerging NVM cell characteristics are summarized, and device-level engineering trends are discussed. Emerging NVM array architectures are introduced, including the one-transistor-one-resistor (1T1R) array and the cross-point array with selectors. Design challenges such as scaling the write current and minimizing the sneak path current in cross-point array are analyzed. Recent progress on megabit-to gigabit-level prototype chip demonstrations is summarized. Finally, the prospective applications of emerging NVM are discussed, ranging from the last-level cache to the storage-class memory in the memory hierarchy. Topics of three-dimensional (3D) integration and radiation-hard NVM are discussed. Novel applications beyond the conventional memory applications are also surveyed, including physical unclonable function for hardware security, reconfigurable routing switch for field-programmable gate array (FPGA), logic-in-memory and nonvolatile cache/register/flip-flop for nonvolatile processor, and synaptic device for neuro-inspired computing.
Disruption-free software updates in automation systems (2014)

Automation systems must primarily be deterministic and reliable, especially in safety-critical environments. With recent trends such as mass customization or Industry 4.0, there is an increasing need for automation systems to be dynamic. Changing parts of the software of today's automation systems, however, typically requires rebooting the controller, which makes software updates a complex and costly endeavor often despised by operators. This article presents an approach to updating the software of automation systems at runtime without disrupting the system's operation. This is achieved with a combination of a component-based architecture, cyclic application execution, and a state transfer mechanism between the original and the updated version of a component. We validate our solution with a case study in which we update the control algorithm of a magnetic levitation device running at cycles of 1 kHz without dropping the ball.

Use of a Glycoprotein G-Based Type-Specific Assay to Detect Antibodies to Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Among Persons Attending Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinics (2001)

Acceptance of HSV-2 serologic testing was cost sensitive. In this high-prevalence population, the positive predictive value of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was sufficient to warrant its use without a confirmatory test. This assay could be useful in the screening of sexually active adults to detect unrecognized HSV-2 infection.

No More Déjà Vu—Eliminating Redundancy With CacheCast: Feasibility and Performance Gains (2013)

Due to the lack of multicast services in the Internet, applications based on single-source, multiple-destination transfers such as video conferencing, IP radio, and IPTV must use unicast. This type of traffic exhibits high redundancy with temporal clustering of duplicated packets. The redundancy originates from multiple transfers of the same data chunk over the same link. We propose CacheCast, a link-layer caching mechanism that eliminates the redundant data transmissions using small caches on links. CacheCast's underlying principles are simplicity and reliability. It is a fully distributed and incrementally deployable architecture. It consists of small caches on links that act independently and a server support that simplifies the link cache operation. Our analysis indicates that transfers of the same data to multiple destinations with CacheCast can achieve near-multicast efficiency in terms of consumed link bandwidth. The implementation of CacheCast proves its feasibility, efficiency, and the improvements of the server.
The RaiNewsbook (2012)

This paper presents a novel framework for multimodal news data aggregation, retrieval and browsing. News aggregations are contextualised within automatically extracted information such as entities (i.e. persons, places and organisations), temporal span, categorical topics, social networks popularity and audience scores. Further resources coming from professional repositories, and related to the aggregation topics, can be accessed as well. The system is accessible through a Web interface supporting interactive navigation and exploration of large-scale collections of news stories at the topic and context levels. Users can select news topics and sub-topics interactively, building their personal paths towards worldwide events, main characters, dates and contents.
Origins and genetic nonvariability of the proteins which diffuse from maize pollen. (1981)

The major function of pollen is to deliver the sperm nuclei to the embryo sac. It does this by germinating and producing a pollen tube and thus provides a relatively simple developmental system for study. Mutants for many pollen functions are accessible, as it is a haploid cell. Mature pollen was fractionated into diffusible proteins, soluble proteins, and proteins insolubly associated with membrane or wall; these protein fractions have been quantified and cataloged by native and SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Diffusible proteins are localized in the pollen grain wall whereas soluble proteins are cytoplasmic. The roles of haploid and diploid genomes in specifying these proteins is discussed. Pollen from maximally divergent maize lines was examined for quantitative and qualitative variation in the diffusible proteins. A surprising conservation was found for these proteins indicating some functional role which is, at present, unknown. Initial experiments on the incorporation of 35S-methionine into germinating pollen indicate that major representatives of the diffusible proteins are made within the pollen grain itself. They are presumably included in the pollen wall during development and diffuse out through the pore region. Studies with pollen mRNA and experiments on incorporation of 35S-methionine into developing anthers are underway and will identify the origin of these proteins. A knowledge of the basic developmental biology of maize pollen is a prerequisite to its judicious use as a monitor of environmental mutagens.
Some growth and metabolic characteristics of monensin-sensitive and monensin-resistant strains of Prevotella (Bacteroides) ruminicola (1992)

New strains with enhanced resistance to monensin were developed from Prevotella (Bacteroides) ruminicola subsp. ruminicola 23 and P. ruminicola subsp. brevis GA33 by stepwise exposure to increasing concentrations of monensin. The resulting resistant strains (23MR2 and GA33MR) could initiate growth in concentrations of monensin which were 4 to 40 times greater than those which inhibited the parental strains. Resistant strains also showed enhanced resistance to nigericin and combinations of monensin and nigericin but retained sensitivity to lasalocid. Glucose utilization in cultures of the monensin-sensitive strains (23 and GA33) and one monensin-resistant strain (23MR2) was retarded but not completely inhibited when logarithmic cultures were challenged with monensin (10 mg/liter). Monensin challenge of cultures of the two monensin-sensitive strains (23 and GA33) was characterized by 78 and 51% decreases in protein yield (milligrams of protein per mole of glucose utilized), respectively. Protein yields in cultures of resistant strain 23MR2 were decreased by only 21% following monensin challenge. Cell yields and rates of glucose utilization by resistant strains GA33MR were not decreased by challenge with 10 mg of monensin per liter. Resistant strains produced greater relative proportions of propionate and less acetate than the corresponding sensitive strains. The relative amounts of succinate produced were greater in cultures of strains 23, GA33, and 23MR2 following monensin challenge. However, only minor changes in end product formation were associate with monensin challenge of resistant strain GA33MR. These results suggest that monensin has significant effects on both the growth characteristics and metabolic activities of these predominant, gram-negative ruminal bacteria.
On the Performance of Downlink Transmission for Distributed Antenna Systems with Multi-Antenna Arrays (2009)

In distributed antenna systems (DAS), the scenario that each antenna port is a multi-antenna array with multi-user is far beyond thoroughly studied. In this paper, the performance of four extended methods for DAS downlink transmission are analyzed and compared in such a scenario, two of which are based on the block diagonalization (BD) algorithm, namely joint BD and intra BD method. The other two methods are joint time division multiplexing (TDM) method and central antenna system (CAS) method. Both theoretic analysis and insightful simulations are utilized to evaluate these four methods. Theoretic analysis shows that the intra BD method requires less channel state information at transmitter (CSIT) and has lower computational complexity and process latency. Simulation results show that the intra BD method suffers only a little performance loss compared with the joint BD method. Overall, the intra BD method is proved to be a best tradeoff which achieves high capacity with relatively low complexity when power constraints are considered.
Cloning by differential screening of a Xenopus cDNA coding for a protein highly homologous to cdc2. (1991)

Fertilization of Xenopus laevis eggs triggers a period of rapid cell division comprising 12 nearly synchronous mitoses. Protein synthesis is required for these divisions, and new proteins appear after fertilization. Others proteins however, which are synthesized in the unfertilized egg, are no longer made in the early embryo. To identify such proteins, a differential screen of an egg cDNA library gave nine clones corresponding to mRNAs that are deadenylylated soon after fertilization. The sequence of one of these clones (Eg1) revealed a high homology to p34cdc2, the kinase subunit of maturation-promoting factor. Only 12 amino acids in the deduced amino acid sequence were unique to Eg1 when its sequence was compared to all other known examples of cdc2. Despite this strong similarity, however, Eg1 was unable to complement a yeast cdc2- mutant in Schizosaccharomyces pombe or a cdc28 mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Four Eg1 transcripts, two major and two minor, were found in Xenopus oocytes and early embryos. These RNAs appeared very early (stage I) in oogenesis and their level remained constant until the midblastula transition, at which time they declined. Eg1 RNA is found in the poly(A)+ fraction of oocytes only between the time of meiotic maturation and fertilization--that is to say, in the unfertilized egg. At fertilization the RNA loses its poly(A) tail and at the same time leaves the polyribosomes.
Neural dynamics of form perception: Boundary completion, illusory figures, and neon color spreading. (1985)

<p>A real-time visual processing theory is used to analyze real and illusory contour formation, contour and brightness interactions, neon color spreading, complementary color induction, and filling-in of discounted illuminants and scotomas. The theory also physically interprets and generalizes Land's retinex theory. These phenomena are traced to adaptive processes that overcome limitations of visual uptake to synthesize informative visual representations of the external world. Two parallel contour sensitive processes interact to generate the theory's brightness, color, and form estimates. A boundary contour process is sensitive to orientation and amount of contrast but not to direction of contrast in scenic edges. It synthesizes boundaries sensitive to the global configuration of scenic elements. A feature contour process is insensitive to orientation but sensitive to both amount of contrast and to direction of contrast in scenic edges. It triggers a diffusive filling-in of featural quality within perceptual domains whose boundaries are determined by completed boundary contours. The boundary contour process is hypothesized to include cortical interactions initiated by hypercolumns in Area 17 of the visual cortex. The feature contour process is hypothesized to include cortical interactions initiated by the cytochrome oxydase staining blobs in Area 17. Relevant data from striate and prestriate visual cortex, including data that support two predictions, are reviewed. Implications for other perceptual theories and axioms of geometry are discussed.</p>

The intercalation of 6-chloro-2-substituted-9-[[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]amino]acridines with DNA (1985)

A series of 6-chloro-2-substituted-9-[[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]amino]acridines has been prepared. The binding affinities and the unwinding angles for the acridine derivatives, relative to ethidium, were determined from viscometric titrations with ccs-DNA. The binding affinities were the same, within experimental error, ca. 2.0 X 10(-5). Similarly, with the exception of 11, the unwinding angles were close to 17 degrees. For 11 the unwinding angle (12 degrees) was smaller than the other derivatives. The general insensitivity of the apparent binding constants to substituent effects is attributable to a masking effect of the formal charge on the ring. The smaller unwinding angle for 11 is believed to arise from its relative dissymmetry, resulting in a "wedge" effect upon intercalation.
COMPARISON OF DIMENSIONLESS UNIT HYDROGRAPHS IN THAILAND AND TAIWAN (1971)

The characteristics of dimensionless unit hydrographs were derived from floods from watersheds smaller than 1000 square kilometers located in Thailand. The dimensionless unit hydrographs were expressed as ratios of q/qq as a function of t/tp. These dimensionless unit hydrographs were compared with similar unit hydrographs derived from floods on Taiwan and with the unit hydrographs derived from a mathematical model developed from the two parameter gamma function developed from the theory of the instantaneous unit hydrograph. It was found that the unit hydrographs derived from the Thai watersheds had much longer base length and much longer time to peak than similar unit hydrographs derived from floods on Taiwan. This increase in length of response time is attributed to a larger component of subsurface runoff believed to be present in the floods from tropical watersheds.
The Effect of an SI Engine Using Butanol&#150;Gasoline Blended Fuel on Performance and Enviroment (2009)

The engine performance and pollutant emissions of a commercial SI engine using butanol-gasoline blended fuel are investigated in details. First dyno-experiment tests are carried out. By comparing with the pure gasoline fuel, it is found that the influence of butanol-gasoline blend on engine performance is small for low engine speed. There is a torque drop at high load but it can be recovered easily by optimizing the ignition spark time. Then the combustion characteristics are analyzed to explain the above phenomena. Also the experiment results show that the CO and HC emissions of butonal-gasoline blend are reduced, but the NOx emission is increased due to its high temperature.
Antenna designs using matching circuits for 4G communicating devices (2014)

Avec l'introduction des standards de communication de quatrième génération (4G) dans la téléphonie mobile, les bandes de fréquence dans lesquelles un téléphone mobile générique doit fonctionner ont naturellement augmenté. Ces évolutions ont induit de nouveaux challenges techniques notamment en ce qui concerne la conception des modules d'émission-réception, du frontal RF mais surtout des antennes. Les bandes de fréquences nouvellement ajoutées, en particulier les bandes LTE 12/13/17 qui descendent jusqu’à 700 MHz, constituent le défi antennaire majeur: couvrir la bande basse des 700-960MHz (30%) notamment en incluant la bande GSM850/900 compte tenu de la rétrocompatibilité avec les standards 3G. Étant donné que l'espace réservé pour l'antenne dans un terminal portatif est électriquement petit (dans cette gamme de fréquences basses), des techniques de conception spécifiques doivent être mises en œuvre pour pouvoir couvrir toute la bande de fréquence basse. Dans la phase de conception, il doit également être pris en compte le fait que l'antenne ou les antennes puissent incorporer des techniques d'amélioration de débit de données telles que le MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) et l’agrégation de porteuse (Carrier Aggregation) pour le LTE-Advanced. De plus, si l’on considère des cas d'utilisation réalistes, les effets de l'utilisateur (main, tête) sur les performances globales du terminal doivent aussi être examinés. Dans cette thèse, plusieurs concepts d'antennes 4G pour les futurs terminaux mobiles sont proposés. Différentes topologies antennaires sont évaluées notamment des antennes reconfigurables / passives ainsi que des structures à alimentation simples/multiples
