SaaS Oriented Generic Cloud Compiler (2013)

In this paper, we have proposed cloud compiler as software-as-service (SaaS), which means compiler transforms source code written in a programming language (source language) into machine language in cloud computing environment. In our application, even if the client machine has no specific compilers installed, the user can write/upload a program and submit it to cloud system. Cloud system can provide different compilers for various source languages as a service, like C, C++, Java or any other languages. Compiler as a cloud service is the creation of several cloud clusters which corresponds to the various compilers that can be accommodated by the cloud service. Each cloud cluster has its own specific captive server which returns the compiled source code to the main server. The program is processed in our cloud architecture and the error/output is returned back to the client. We have proposed serial and parallel program allocation from server to backend tiers and also compared average Turnaround Time and Maximum Turnaround Time to complete all programs with two and four backend tiers.
Blind dereverberation algorithm for speech signals based on multi-channel linear prediction (2005)

This paper proposes an algorithm for the blind dereverberation of speech signals based on multi-channel linear prediction. Traditional dereverberation methods usually perform well when the input signal is white noise. However, when dealing with colored signals generated by an autoregressive process such as speech, the generating autoregressive process is deconvolved causing excessive whitening of the signal. We overcome this whitening problem by estimating the generating autoregressive process based on multichannel linear prediction and applying this estimated process to the whitened signal so that the input signal can be recovered. Simulation results show the good potential of the proposed method.
Using assertions to improve language translators (1977)

New enhancement techniques for language translators based on work in program verification are developed. Assertions are normally added to a program in order to verify the program is correct. Once verified, the assertions are usually ignored. This paper shows that verified assertions often contain information which can improve certain object code characteristics when the program is translated: execution time, storage requirements, and program style. The latter quality is especially important if the object code is itself in a high-level language. The techniques developed fall into three categories: early binding, using complementary constructs, and noting restricted cases.

Thromboxane synthesis inhibition and renal allograft function. (1989)

These data indicate that chronic administration of CGS-12970 to renal allograft recipients maintains renal allograft function. These effects are probably due to selective inhibition of local tissue TXA2 production. These data also suggest that elevations in renal allograft tissue prostacyclin production may be secondary to ischemia since improving renal blood flow and GFR with selective thromboxane synthesis inhibitors leads to normalization of renal prostacyclin synthesis. The possible utility of using CGS-12970 as an adjunct therapy in human renal allotransplantation should be strongly considered.
Si magnetic sensor composed of two combined pin diodes (1986)

A novel highly sensitive Si magnetic sensor composed of two PIN diodes with a common n+-region is proposed, and the fundamental characteristics are shown. This magnetic sensor is operated in the double-injection states of both two PIN diodes, and may be regarded as an active magnetoresistance device which detects the resistance change of the main PIN diode due to application of the magnetic field.
Transform domain techniques for efficient extraction of substrate parasitics (1997)

A semi-analytical technique for computation of the frequency- behavior of silicon substrates is demonstrated. The technique uses a boundary element approach, that utilizes the complex substrate Green Function and the two-dimensional Fast Fourier Transform. The resultant dense system matrix is sparsified by application of orthogonal transform operators on the matrix representing the system. Three transform operators are evaluated for this purpose - the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and the Discrete Hadamard Transform (DHT). The application of any one of these operators provides a rigorous sparsification technique, which significantly reduces the computation time. The Green Function is computed in the two layers at the top of the substrate. This is done so that contacts in the oxide layer can be included in the substrate model, along with contacts in the silicon substrate. Hence, substrate loss terms in metal interconnect lines and in line-to- line interaction models, can be evaluated using this technique. Extraction of a simple circuit-simulator compatible model from frequency-domain data is discussed.
Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid Prevents Retinal Degeneration in Transgenic P23H Rats (2011)

TUDCA treatment was capable of preserving cone and rod structure and function, together with their contacts with their postsynaptic neurons. The neuroprotective effects of TUDCA make this compound potentially useful for delaying retinal degeneration in RP.
Quantification of Myelin and Axon Pathology During Relapsing Progressive Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis in the Biozzi ABH Mouse (2009)

Multiple sclerosis is an immune-mediated demyelinating disease, with axonal loss underlying long-term progressive disability. In this study, we have analyzed axonal and myelin pathology in a chronic relapsing-remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis model in Biozzi ABH mice induced by immunization with a syngeneic spinal cord homogenate. The animals were followed for3 months; inflammation, T-cell infiltration, demyelination, and axonal loss were examined at various time points throughout the disease course. We found that macrophage infiltration and microglia activation preceded detectable T-cell infiltration. Axonal loss was first evident at the acute phase of disease before demyelination was detected. Demyelination and axonal loss occurred after each relapse and correlated with increasing residual motor deficits in remission. The resulting lesions displayed evidence of demyelination, remyelination, axonal degeneration, and axon loss. After a series of 3 relapses, animals entered a chronic progressive phase with permanent paralysis and a relative absence of inflammation. Axonal loss continued in this phase, although demyelinated axons persisted. These findings indicate that experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in Biozzi ABH mice has important similarities to multiple sclerosis with a relapsing-remitting disease course followed by a secondary progressive phase; it is thus a suitable model in which to explore remyelination and neuroprotective therapies for multiple sclerosis.
Estimating head's measurements from front-view head and shoulders images (2003)

The automated process of estimating a human head's measurements from a front-view head and shoulders image/video sequences is crucial for applications such as automated face identification, model-based video coding, and database indexing and browsing. This paper introduces a new model-based algorithm for estimating the measurements of a human head, including the head center, tilt angle, length and width. The algorithm is based on modeling the human head in a front-view head and shoulders image as an ellipse. The algorithm estimates the parameters of the ellipse which best fits the head view in the image and uses these parameters to estimate the head center, the tilt angle, the length, and width. The algorithm has been implemented and tested with over twelve hundred images, and simulation results indicate that the algorithm is robust to variations in subject head shape, age, and motion such as tilting and nodding of the head.
Lubrication Properties of Low-Sulfur Diesel Fuels in the Presence of Specific Types of Fatty Acid Derivatives (2000)

This paper presents the impact of the addition of specific types of fatty acid derivatives on the lubrication properties of low sulfur diesel fuels. It discusses the most recent results, concerning the influence of adding low amounts of four specific types of biodiesel and two tertiary amides on the tribological behavior of the steel-on-steel systems, lubricated with low-sulfur automotive diesel. Experiments were carried out on the HFRR test rig. The obtained wear results have clearly shown a specific behavior of the components tested, which dissolved in selected base fuels at the concentration range of 0.05−10%. It is concluded that a very small amount of the selected biodiesel types and tertiary amides dramatically improves the low-sulfur diesel lubricity.
Decoupling control based on PID neural network for deaerator and condenser water level control system (2015)

There is strong intercoupling relation between condenser water level and deaerator water level in marine steam power plant. In order to get satisfactory control effect, it is essential to take corresponding decoupling measures. PID neural network not only has the advantages of PID, but also has the abilities of learning, remembering and nonlinear approximation. In this paper, we propose a deaerator water level and condenser water level decoupling control strategy based on PID neural network, which integrates PID and neural network by establishing proportional neuron, integral neuron and derivative neuron corresponding to proportional, integral and derivative, respectively. We also propose a method of choosing initial weights and learning coefficient from experience of PID to enhance the convergence performance of PID neural network. The simulation results show that the PID neural network decoupling control strategy can meet the requirements of multivariable system decoupling control. It is more effective in condenser water level and deaerator water level decoupling than PID control strategy.

14-3-3 ζ Negatively Regulates Raf-1 Activity by Interactions with the Raf-1 Cysteine-rich Domain (1997)

Although Raf-1 is a critical effector of Ras signaling and transformation, the mechanism by which Ras promotes Raf-1 activation is complex and remains poorly understood. We recently reported that Ras interaction with the Raf-1 cysteine-rich domain (Raf-CRD, residues 139-184) may be required for Raf-1 activation. The Raf-CRD is located in the NH2-terminal negative regulatory domain of Raf-1 and is highly homologous to cysteine-rich domains found in protein kinase C family members. Recent studies indicate that the structural integrity of the Raf-CRD is also critical for Raf-1 interaction with 14-3-3 proteins. However, whether 14-3-3 proteins interact directly with the Raf-CRD and how this interaction may mediate Raf-1 function has not been determined. In the present study, we demonstrate that 14-3-3 zeta binds directly to the isolated Raf-CRD. Moreover, mutation of Raf-1 residues 143-145 impairs binding of 14-3-3, but not Ras, to the Raf-CRD. Introduction of mutations that impair 14-3-3 binding resulted in full-length Raf-1 mutants with enhanced transforming activity. Thus, 14-3-3 interaction with the Raf-CRD may serve in negative regulation of Raf-1 function by facilitating dissociation of 14-3-3 from the NH2 terminus of Raf-1 to promote subsequent events necessary for full activation of Raf-1.

Azathioprine in multiple sclerosis: the cons. (1988)

Azathioprine has the longest continuing history of clinical use in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) of any immunosuppressive therapy besides corticosteroids. To date, 19 clinical trials of azathioprine in MS have been reported, and another eight are under way. A review of the reported trials indicates little evidence for a therapeutic effect in MS. This and the lack of evidence for a specific immune alteration in the pathogenesis of MS are relative contraindications for the use of high risk immunosuppressive therapies in this disease. A further caveat is raised by a recent report suggesting that azathioprine may have contributed to an increased incidence of carcinomas in MS patients treated with this drug. In view of these considerations, perhaps the best position to take at the present time is to encourage investigators already engaged in controlled clinical trials of azathioprine to complete their work, so that this data can be considered before new studies of azathioprine in MS are undertaken.
Immobilization of catalase and glucose oxidase on inorganic supports (1975)

Immobilization of Catalase and GlucoseOxidase on Inorganic SupportsGlucose oxidase and catalase have been individually immobilized on several inorganic supports using the glutaraldehyde procedure.Enzymic activity depended on the support type and the particle size of the support used in the assay.Interestingly, the least expensive supports exhibited the highest activity for both small and large particle sizes.The purpose of the study was to screen a number of inorganic supports for use in industrial immobilized enzyme reactors.Consequently emphasis was placed on determining the initial activity of the catalysts rather than on determining the efficiency of the immobilization procedure. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDUREGlucose oxidase or catalase was immobilized on various solid supports using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent.Descriptions of the supports are reported in Table I.The supports were ground individually and four particle size ranges were collected: 0-12.5, 125-250, 2.50-,500, and ,500-1000 microns.Equal amounts of each size range were then mixed so that the immobilization could be conducted simultaneously on all size ranges.Silanization' consisted of refluxing the support in 10% (by weight) 7-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in toluene for 24 hr.The support was washed with 5 volumes of toluene followed by an analogous acetone wash.The support was then allowed to air dry for 24 hr.In preparation for the immobilization step, the support was mixed with a solution containing 2.57, (by volume) glutaraldehyde for 30 min at reduced pressure and 60 min at atmospheric pressure.The glutaraldehyde solution was decanted and the support was washed with 4 volumes of distilled water.The support was then ready for immobilization with either enzyme.Catalase was immobilized onto the supports a t 5'C by placing 2 g of the support, in 2 ml of catalase solution (Worthington Biochemical Company 45,000 p/ml) for 30 min a t reduced pressure and 30 min at atmospheric pressure.The support was then washed with 3 volumes of 0.1M citrate-phosphate buffer, pH 7.0.Glucose oxidase was immobilized at room temperature placing 2 g of the support in a solution containing 5 ml of boric acid-sodium borate buffer, pH 7.5, and 2 mg of glucose oxidase (Worthington Biochemical Company 105 p/ml).The immobilized enzyme was then washed five times with citrate-phosphate buffer, pH 5.5.The immobilized supports were separated according to particle size range by wet sieving using citrate-phosphate buffer solutions.One drop of toluene ww added to each vial in order to prevent bacterial growth.The immobilized supports were stored in buffer at 5°C until use.Catalase activity was measured by adding approximately 20 mg of the support to a sample vial of a Yellow Springs oxygen monitor containing 3 ml of pH 10970290, 1975, 2, Downloaded from https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/
Advances in the brain metastasis from esophageal carcinoma (2016)

Esophageal carcinoma(EC) is one of the most common malignancies, which is difficult to cure. The median overall survival is less than 1 year, and the 5-year survival rate is less than 10%. Previous reports cited the incidence of brain metastasis (BM) from esophageal cancer to be approximately 0.4%~5.1%, and most of the reports come from America and Japan. The incidence of BM from EC is increased. However, because of the rarity of BM from EC, there are no established treatment guidelines. This report provides a comprehensive view of the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of brain metastasis from esophageal carcinoma.

Ion Trapping and Detrapping in Amorphous Tungsten Oxide Thin Films Observed by Real-Time Electro-Optical Monitoring (2016)

Several technologies for energy saving and storage rely on ion exchange between electrodes and electrolytes. In amorphous electrode materials, a detailed knowledge of Li-ion intercalation is hampered by limited information about the structure and transport properties of the materials. Amorphous tungsten oxide is the most studied electrochromic material and suffers from ion trapping-induced degradation of charge capacity and optical modulation span upon extensive electrochemical cycling. In this paper, we investigate trapping and detrapping processes in connection with performance degradation and specifically use real-time electro-optical monitoring to identify different trap energy ranges pertinent to the ion-intercalated system. Evidence of three kinds of traps that degrade electrochromic tungsten oxide during ion intercalation is presented: (i) shallow traps that erode the colored state, (ii) deep traps that lower the bleached-state transmittance, and (iii) irreversible traps. Importantly, Li-ion detrapping from shallow and deep traps takes place by different processes: continuous Li-ion extraction is possible from shallow traps, whereas a certain release time must be exceeded for detrapping from deep traps. Our notions for ion trapping and detrapping, presented here, may serve as a starting point for discussing ion intercalation in various amorphous materials of interest for energy-related applications.
