Charles Baudelaire: “The Salon of 1846” (1969)

Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867) is one of the latest figures included in this volume. His work is transitional. His poetry, as in Les Fleurs du mal, is usually classed with that of the Symbolists. Yet his adulation of Delacroix, France's greatest Romantic painter, and the real critical insight with which he brought the qualities of Delacroix and others of that generation to public attention make him also a spokesman for Romantic painting. He was a great art critic, stressing the immense importance of original creative genius and urging a view of imagination that echoes Coleridge's concept. For Baudelaire, the artist took rank as a profound truthteller—as he does for Shelley—but of a truth far different from the philosopher's. As a critic, he sought to share some of the artist's effort to counteract the materialism of the age, a task to be performed by fulfilling his duty toward art, not toward philosophy, politics, or society.
Soup or Salad? Investigating the Action of Enzymes in Fruit on Gelatin (1999)

Most enzymes are proteins that have evolved to function as catalysts for chemical reactions in living systems. Some fruits contain proteases, a group of enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of peptide linkages in proteins. This can have an undesired effect in a gelatin salad containing fruit, because proteases in the fruit can cleave the proteins that make up the structure of gelatin so that it will not set. This is the reason for the warning on many gelatin packages "Do not use with fresh or frozen pineapple." Other fruits may also be included in the warning. Fresh pinepple, papaya, kiwi, and figs contain the proteases bromelain, papain, actinidin, and ficin, respectively. When the enzymes are denatured, which can result from heating during the canning process, they lose their ability to cleave proteins.
Impaired Arteriogenic Response to Acute Hindlimb Ischemia in CD4-Knockout Mice (2003)

These results indicate an important role of CD4+ cells in collateral development, as demonstrated by a 25% decrease in blood flow recovery after femoral artery ligation. Our data also suggest that CD4+ T cells control the arteriogenic response to acute hindlimb ischemia, at least in part, by recruiting macrophages to the site of active collateral artery formation, which in turn triggers the development of collaterals through the synthesis of arteriogenic cytokines.
Comparison of Neuroprotective Effect of Bevacizumab and Sildenafil following Induction of Stroke in a Mouse Model (2016)

To evaluate the effect of bevacizumab and sildenafil on stroke parameters in a mouse model, middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced in male C57Bl/6 mice using an intra-arterial filament method. The filament was removed after 60 minutes, and the mice were immediately given a single intraperitoneal injection of saline, bevacizumab, or sildenafil. An additional group of mice (n = 7) received bevacizumab 6 h after MCAO induction. The mice were euthanized 24 hours later and evaluated for infarct area and brain edema using triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining and ImageJ. In the saline-treated mice (n = 16), total stroke volume was 19.20 ± 6.38 mm(3), mean penumbra area was 4.5 ± 2.03 mm(3), and hemispheric asymmetry was 106.5%. Corresponding values in the bevacizumab group (n = 19) were 17.79 ± 5.80 mm(3), 7.3 ± 3.5 mm(3), and 108.6%; in the delayed (6 h) bevacizumab injected mice (n = 7) they were 9.80 ± 8.00 mm(3), 2.4 ± 2.0 mm(3), and 98.2%; and in the sildenafil group (n = 16) they were 18.42 ± 5.41 mm(3), 5.7 ± 2.02 mm(3), and 109.9%. The bevacizumab group had a significantly larger mean penumbra area when given immediately and smaller total stroke area in both groups than the saline- (p = 0.03) and sildenafil-treated (p = 0.003) groups. Only delayed bevacizumab group had reduced edema. Bevacizumab, injected immediately or delayed after injury, exerts a neuroprotective/salvage effect, whereas immediate treatment with sildenafil does not. Inflammation may play a role in the neuroprotective effect.
OSH Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (2010)

Preserving SIFT features in JPEG-encoded images (2011)

For image compression applications where the information sink is not a person but a computer algorithm, the image encoder should control the encoding process in such a way that the important and relevant features of the image are preserved after compression. In this paper, our goal is to preserve the strongest SIFT features for JPEG-encoded images. We analyze the relevant characteristics of SIFT features and categorize the image Macroblocks into several groups. Then we propose a novel rate-distortion model which is based on the SIFT feature matching score. The dependency between the quantization table in the JPEG file and the common Lagrange multiplier is obtained from a training image database. Then for a given image quality we exploit this relationship to perform R-D optimization for each group. Our results show that the proposed algorithm achieves better feature preservation when compared to standard JPEG encoding. The proposed approach is fully standard compatible.

Third-Order Nonlinear Optical Properties of One-Dimensional Conjugated Polymers (1997)

Abstract We have measured third-harmonic susceptibilities in various one-dimensional conjugated polymer films at a fundamental wavelength of 1.907 μm. The relationship between polymer structure and the third-order nonlinear optical responses of four kinds of processable conjugated polymer systems were studied: substituted polyacetylenes, polyaniline, polythiophene derivatives and poly(p-phenylene benzothiazole). We discuss the influence of planarity and conformation on the effective conjugation and also demonstrated the alignment of polymer chain by stretching and flow orientation to obtain the enhanced third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility.

Comparison of LES of Steady Transitional Flow in an Idealized Stenosed Axisymmetric Artery Model With a RANS Transitional Model (2011)

In this study, two different turbulence methodologies are investigated to predict transitional flow in a 75% stenosed axisymmetric experimental arterial model and in a slightly modified version of the model with an eccentric stenosis. Large eddy simulation (LES) and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) methods were applied; in the LES simulations eddy viscosity subgrid-scale models were employed (basic and dynamic Smagorinsky) while the RANS method involved the correlation-based transitional version of the hybrid k-ε/k-ω flow model. The RANS simulations used 410,000 and 820,000 element meshes for the axisymmetric and eccentric stenoses, respectively, with y(+) less than 2 viscous wall units for the boundary elements, while the LES used 1,200,000 elements with y(+) less than 1. Implicit filtering was used for LES, giving an overlap between the resolved and modeled eddies, ensuring accurate treatment of near wall turbulence structures. Flow analysis was carried out in terms of vorticity and eddy viscosity magnitudes, velocity, and turbulence intensity profiles and the results were compared both with established experimental data and with available direct numerical simulations (DNSs) from the literature. The simulation results demonstrated that the dynamic Smagorinsky LES and RANS transitional model predicted fairly comparable velocity and turbulence intensity profiles with the experimental data, although the dynamic Smagorinsky model gave the best overall agreement. The present study demonstrated the power of LES methods, although they were computationally more costly, and added further evidence of the promise of the RANS transition model used here, previously tested in pulsatile flow on a similar model. Both dynamic Smagorinsky LES and the RANS model captured the complex transition phenomena under physiological Reynolds numbers in steady flow, including separation and reattachment. In this respect, LES with dynamic Smagorinsky appeared more successful than DNS in replicating the axisymmetric experimental results, although inflow conditions, which are subject to caveats, may have differed. For the eccentric stenosis, LES with Smagorinsky coefficient of 0.13 gave the closest agreement with DNS despite the known shortcomings of fixed coefficients. The relaminarization as the flow escaped the influence of the stenosis was amply demonstrated in the simulations, graphically so in the case of LES.

Tied mixture continuous parameter models for large vocabulary isolated speech recognition (2003)

The acoustic modeling problem in automatic speech recognition is estimated with the specific goal of unifying discrete and continuous parameter approaches. The authors consider a class of very general hidden Markov models which can accommodate sequences of information-bearing acoustic feature vectors lying either in a discrete or in a continuous space. More generally, the new class allows one to represent the prototypes in an assumption-limited, yet convenient, way, as (tied) mixtures of simple multivariate densities. Speech recognition experiments, reported for a large (5000-word) vocabulary office correspondence task, demonstrate some of the benefits associated with this technique.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
New results in free-viewpoint television systems for horizontal virtual navigation (2016)

The paper presents the concept of a practical free-viewpoint television system with purely optical depth estimation. The system consists of camera modules that contain pairs or triples of cameras together with the respective microphones. The camera modules can be sparsely located in arbitrary positions around a scene. Each camera module is equivalent to a video camera with a depth sensor and microphones. The hardware requirements, the video and audio processing algorithms and the preliminary experimental results are reported. In particular, for such systems, a compression technique is discussed that is more efficient than the new 3D-HEVC technology. A set of new test sequences obtained with the use of camera pairs are presented.
Epidemiology of pressure sores in different populations. (1989)

The data available regarding the epidemiology of pressure ulcers suggest that they are a serious public health problem in the United States, particularly among the elderly. Factors that are associated with increased risk of pressure ulcer development are being defined in different populations. Future studies need to include clear-cut definitions of pressure ulcers that permit lesions of varying severity to be distinguished. Such research should ultimately facilitate the development of more effective prevention strategies for patients at highest risk.
Obtaining point spread function of penumbral encoding aperture with “expectation maximization” algorithm based on matched source-image pair experiment (2010)

A source penumbral image reconstruction method with linear mapping principle for geometrical optics is established. The ideal binary point spread function (PSF) can be obtained using a geometrical optics model. The system PSF with certain sharpness was obtained using a Monte Carlo (MC) model. Considering other factors besides the transportation of the x (gamma)-rays or particles (fusion neutrons) in the penumbral encoding aperture in MC model, such as the scattering background and the systematic error, the PSF from MC model "source-image pair matching" experiments with a large area standard oval shape source were processed. A method for correcting and calibrating the PSF by the expectation maximization adaptive algorithm was established and the optimized PSF with 22.30 microm sharpness was achieved. This is more consistent with the real system PSF despite the increased noise level of the two-dimensional PSF and large irregularity in the PSF profile.
Evaluation of the appropriateness of using glucometers for measuring the blood glucose levels in mice (2016)

Glucometers are also widely used in diabetes research conducted using animal models. However, the appropriateness of measuring blood glucose levels using glucometers in animal models remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the consistency between the blood glucose levels measured by 11 models of glucometers and plasma glucose levels measured by a laboratory biochemical test in blood samples collected by retro-orbital sinus puncture or tail-tip amputation. In both blood samples obtained by retro-orbital sinus puncture and those obtained by tail-tip amputation, 10 of the 11 models of glucometers yielded higher glucose values, while 1 yielded lower glucose values, than the plasma glucose values yielded by the laboratory test, the differences being in direct proportion to the plasma glucose values. Most glucometers recorded higher blood glucose levels after glucose loading and lower blood glucose levels after insulin loading in retro-orbital sinus blood as compared to tail vein blood. Our data suggest that the blood glucose levels measured by glucometers in mice tended to be higher than the plasma glucose levels yielded by the biochemical test under the hyperglycemic state, and that differences in the measured levels were observed according to the blood collection method depending on the glycemia status.
Neuromorphic Vision Sensors (2000)

Vision is one of the most useful sensory functions, but the real-time processing of the continuous, high-dimensional input signals provided by vision sensors is a major challenge in robot design. Conventional digital vision sensors tend to have excessive power consumption, size, and cost for useful applications. In this TechView, Indiveri and Douglas discuss an alternative strategy, namely neuromorphic vision sensors that are based on biological vision systems. In these sensors, specialized sensory processing functions inspired by biological systems such as fly eyes are integrated in parallel, asynchronous circuits that respond in real time. These sensors offer significant advantages over conventional vision sensors.
The control of high-speed variable-reluctance generators in electric power systems (1993)

This work studies the control of a direct-current (DC) electric power system that is sourced by a variable-reluctance generator. The power system includes the generator and its switching inverter, a filtering capacitor, a distribution network and an electrical load. The network comprises a series resistor and inductor, while the load comprises a parallel resistor, capacitor and power sink. The voltage at the load is regulated by adjusting the rotor angles at which the inverter switches. Both steady-state and transient performance are considered. Simulations are provided to illustrate performance.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Nonstationary laser-sustained plasma (1991)

Decay and recovery of laser-sustained argon plasma have been studied both experimentally and theoretically. Temperature distributions at various phases of the discharge were determined experimentally from the continuum emission coefficient. A quasi-two-dimensional cylindrical model has been employed to describe the observed plasma evolution. It was found that the model well described plasma evolution that was observed in the experiment.
Teilchenbildung bei der Herstellung von kautschukmodifiziertem Polystyrol (1977)

Abstract Die Teilchenbildung bei der Herstellung von kautschukmodifiziertem Polystyrol durch Polymerisation einer styrolischen Polybutadienlösung führt im allgemeinen zu den bekannten “Zellenteilchen”. Ihre Größe und Größenverteilung hängt weitgehend von den rheologischen Verhältnissen in der polymerisierenden Lösung, besonders im Umsatzbereich unmittelbar nach der Phaseninversion, ab. Während der Polymerisation wird das Polybutadien durch Polystyrol gepfropft. Hohe Pfropfung führt u. U. zur Veränderung des morphologischen Typs der Teilchen. Außer Zellenteilchen sind „Knäuelteilchen”︁, „Kapselteilchen”︁, „Fadenteilchen”︁ und „Tropfenteilchen”︁ zu beobachten. Modellversuche mit A‐B‐Blockcopolymeren aus Butadien und Styrolzeigen, daß der Typus des Teilchens von geordneten Strukturen in der polymerisierenden Masse bedingt wird. Diese wiederum hängen von der Domänenstruktur des Blockcopolymeren und deren Veränderung während der Reaktion durch Pfropfung und Einbau von Homopolymeren in die entsprechenden Domänen ab.
Attractiveness of Synthetic Corn Volatiles to Feral Northern and Western Corn Rootworm Beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) (1997)

Synthetic com volatiles and selected analogues were tested in com fields for attractiveness to feral adults of northern com rootworm, Diabrotica barberi Smith & Lawrence, and western com rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte. Attractiveness of test compounds was compared with that of reference standards, geranylacetone and (+)- α -terpineol for northern and western com rootworm, respectively, and with two structural isomers of the reference standards, nerylacetone and (+)- α -terpinen-4-ol, which were the only test compounds not reported from com. Compounds attractive to northern com rootworms included nerylacetone, linalool, and geranyl acetate, although the best captures were only ≈20% of those on traps baited with the geranylacetone reference standard. Linalool proved to be an effective western com rootworm attractant that captured as many females as the (+)- α -terpineol reference standard. Methyl salicylate also showed moderate attractiveness to western com rootworm females. Marginal captures (but statistically higher than control) of western com rootworm females occurred on traps baited with nerylacetone, geranyl acetate, geraniol, and (−)- α -pinene. Linalool was the only new compound to attract western com rootworm males, but the highest capture was only about twice that of control. Compounds that failed to attract either species or sex in numbers significantly exceeding control were (+)- α -terpinen-4-ol, (+)- α -pinene, carvacrol, thymol, and 1-octen-3-ol. Kairomonal attractants so far identified for com rootworm adults generally are widely distributed in nature and thus unlikely to account for specificity of host-finding responses except as components of unique odorant blends.
Echo removal by discrete generalized linear filtering. (1969)

A new approach to separating convolved signals, referred to as homomorphic deconvolution, is presented. The class of systems considered in this report is a member of a larger class called homomorphic systems, which are characterized by a generalized principle of superposition that is analogous to the principle of superposition for linear systems. A detailed analysis based on the z-transform is given for discrete-time systems of this class. The realization of such systems using a digital computer is also discussed in detail. Such conputational realizations are made possible through the application of high-speed Fourier analysis techniques. As a particular example, the method is applied to the separation of the components of a convolution in which one of the components is an impulse train. This class of signals is representative of many interesting signal-analysis and signal-processing problems such as speech analysis and echo removal and detection. It is shown that homomorphic deconvolution is a useful approach to either removal or detection of echoes.

Initial Analysis of SAR From a Cell Phone Inside a Vehicle by Numerical Computation (2007)

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of the metallic structures of a realistic car body frame on the specific absorption rate (SAR) produced by a cell phone when a complete human body model is placed at different locations inside the vehicle, and to identify the relevant parameters responsible for these changes. The modeling and analysis of the whole system was conducted by means of computer simulations based on the full wave finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical method. The excitation considered was an 835 MHz lambda/2 dipole located as a hands-free communication device or as a hand-held portable system. We compared the SAR at different planes on the human model, placed inside the vehicle with respect to the free space situation. The presence of the car body frame significantly changes the SAR distributions, especially when the dipole is far from the body. Although the results are not conclusive on this point, this change in SAR distribution is not likely to produce an increase above the limits in current guidelines for partial body exposure, but may be significant for whole-body exposure. The most relevant change found was the change in the impedance of the dipole, affecting the radiated power. A complementary result from the electromagnetic computations performed is the change in the electromagnetic field distribution inside a vehicle when human bodies are present. The whole vehicle model has been optimized to provide accurate results for sources placed inside the vehicle, while keeping low requirements for computer storage and simulation time.
