A fuzzy expert system for network fault management (2002)

The paper builds on recent work toward the simplification of fault management within communication networks using a fuzzy expert system. Based on the symptom description derived from the customers and network monitor, the developed system draws on the past experience of communication networks from trouble history record to indicate the degree to which special devices may be faulty on a prioritized basis (fault diagnosis). Moreover, by network managers' past experience, a few corresponding actions are proposed to release the fault (fault recovery). Since managers tend to use linguistic variables to describe the recovery actions, each action is assigned a degree of possibility. With the fuzzy set operation, the composition of relations between fault diagnosis and fault recovery is achieved. To demonstrate its effectiveness, the proposed system is applied to the fault management in our Laboratory. It was found that the fuzzy expert system can emulate network managers and provide substantial assistance in decision-making with respect to network fault management.
Ion-assisted sputter deposition of molybdenum-silicon multilayers (1993)

X-ray multilayer (ML) structures that are fabricated by the use of magnetron-sputter deposition exhibit a degradation in structural quality as the deposition pressure is increased. The observed change in morphology is attributed to a reduced mobility of surface adsorbed atoms, which inhibits the formation of smooth, continuous layers. The application of a negative substrate bias produces ion bombardment of the growing film surface by sputtering gas ions extracted from the plasma and permits direct control of the energy density supplied to the film surface during thin-film growth. The technique supplements the energy lost to thermalization in high-pressure deposition and permits the fabrication of high-quality ML structures at elevated processing pressures. A threefold improvement in the soft-x-ray normal-incidence reflectance at 130 A results for substrate bias voltages of the order of ˜ - 150 V for Mo-Si ML's deposited at 10-mTorr Ar.
Molecular Cloning of TA16, a Transcriptional Repressor That May Mediate Glucocorticoid-Induced Growth Arrest of Leiomyosarcoma Cells (1997)

The DDT1 MF2 smooth muscle tumor cell line was derived from an estrogen/androgen-induced leiomyosarcoma that arose in the ductus deferens of a Syrian hamster. The growth of this cell line is arrested at the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle after treatment with glucocorticoids. To identify the putative gene(s) that are potentially involved in this hormone-induced cell growth arrest, we have used a differential screening technique to clone those genes whose expression is induced or up-regulated by glucocorticoids. A number of glucocorticoid response genes were thereby isolated from the leiomyosarcoma cells. One of these clones, termed TA16, was found to be markedly up-regulated by glucocorticoids in DDT1 MF2 cells, but only marginally changed in GR1 cells, a glucocorticoid-resistant variant that was selected from the wild type DDT1 MF2 cell. Isolation and sequencing of its intact cDNA indicated that the TA16 encodes a protein 485 amino acids long, and its sequence is closely homologous to a novel transcriptional repressor that presumably represses the transcription activity of some zinc finger transcriptional factors through a direct interaction. Transfection assays demonstrated that introduction of an antisense TA16 cDNA expression vector, controlled by an MMTV promoter, into the DDT1 MF2 cell significantly relieved the glucocorticoid-induced cell growth arrest. This finding suggests that TA16 might participate in the mediation of glucocorticoid-induced cell cycle arrest in leiomyosarcoma cells.
Methods for the quantitative estimation of <i>N</i>-acetylneuraminic acid and their application to hydrolysates of sialomucoids (1961)

Abundant expression of CXCL9 (MIG) by stromal cells that include dendritic cells and accumulation of CXCR3<sup>+</sup> T cells in lymphocyte‐rich gastric carcinoma (2008)

The neoplastic environment is generally regarded as an immunosuppressive milieu. However, a group of cancers are characterized by the abundance of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Here we examined the possible roles of chemokines in the formation of lymphoid stroma in lymphocyte-rich gastric carcinomas (GCs), including EBV(+) cases and conventional GCs. Regardless of EBV positivity, TILs in lymphocyte-rich GCs predominantly expressed CXCR3, while its ligand CXCL9 was abundantly expressed by stromal cells and a portion of cancer cells. CXCL9(+) stromal cells were judged to include dendritic cells, because they partly co-expressed fascin, DC-sign, CD83, DC-lamp or HLA-DR. T cells in close contact with CXCL9(+) cells showed frequent labelling of Ki-67 (approximately 10%), suggesting the immunostimulatory activity of CXCL9(+) stromal cells. The T-cell zone of the regional lymph nodes of lymphocyte-rich GCs also abounded with CXCR3(+) T cells and CXCL9(+) stromal cells. This indicated a close similarity between cancer stroma and regional lymph nodes of lymphocyte-rich GCs. Quantitative RT-PCR also confirmed the strong expression of CXCR3, CXCL9 and IFNgamma in lymphocyte-rich GCs. In contrast, conventional GCs contained less abundant CXCR3(+) T cells and few CXCL9(+) stromal cells. Collectively, the CXCL9-CXCR3 axis plays a pivotal role in the formation of lymphoid stroma in lymphocyte-rich GCs. Given similar findings in the regional lymph nodes, the lymphoid stroma of lymphocyte-rich GCs may represent a tertiary lymphoid tissue with predominantly Th1-shifted immune responses.
The effects of resveratrol on cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, nuclear factor kappa beta, matrix metalloproteinase-9, and sirtuin 1 mRNA expression in hearts of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (2011)

Resveratrol (RSV) has a beneficial role in the prevention of diabetes and alleviates some diabetic complications, such as cardiomyopathy. We investigated cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), COX-2, nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) mRNA expression levels in heart tissue after RSV treatment in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. After induction of chronic diabetes with STZ, 10 mg RSV/kg per day was administered to DM and DM+RSV groups for four weeks. At the end of the experiment, all rats were sacrificed and heart tissues were stored at -80°C; mRNA expression levels of COX-1, COX-2, NF-κB, MMP-9, and SIRT1 genes were analyzed with quantitative real-time PCR. We did not find any significant effect of RSV on MMP-9, COX-1, COX-2, or NF-κB mRNA levels among the groups. However, SIRT1 mRNA levels decreased in the DM group compared to controls and increased in the DM+RSV group when compared to the DM group. SIRT1 is activated by RSV treatment in diabetic heart tissue. Activation of SIRT1 by RSV may lead to a new therapeutic approach for diabetic heart tissue. We conclude that RSV treatment can alleviate heart dysfunction by inhibiton of inflammatory gene expression such as SIRT1.
A Beam-Search Decoder for Grammatical Error Correction (2012)

We present a novel beam-search decoder for grammatical error correction. The decoder iteratively generates new hypothesis corrections from current hypotheses and scores them based on features of grammatical correctness and fluency. These features include scores from discriminative classifiers for specific error categories, such as articles and prepositions. Unlike all previous approaches, our method is able to perform correction of whole sentences with multiple and interacting errors while still taking advantage of powerful existing classifier approaches. Our decoder achieves an F1 correction score significantly higher than all previous published scores on the Helping Our Own (HOO) shared task data set. 1
Introduction (2018)

This chapter presents some of the ambiguities in 'traditional medicine'. Professionalisation is an issue not only for 'traditional medicine' but for hospital medicine too, where all the usual defining characteristics of a formal 'profession' are not necessarily equally well established. As with 'traditional medicine', there are ambiguities in the way the term 'profession' is used; and these ambiguities derive from people's different assumptions about a 'profession' as an institution and their assessments of its contribution to patients' care. But whereas Ayurvedic and Unani medicine both have a large corpus of ancient literature in which their formal theories and practices have been set out, few if any systems of traditional medicine in Africa have such a corpus. For any profession of traditional medicine, no less than the law, has to be seen to have an interest in curbing the criminal element among healers, whether as 'quacks' or as 'troublemakers'.
Quality of Cloud Services Determined by the Dynamic Management of Scheduling Models for Complex Heterogeneous Workloads (2018)

The quality of services in Cloud Computing (CC) depends on the scheduling strategies selected for processing of the complex workloads in the physical cloud clusters. Using the scheduler of the single type does not guarantee of the optimal mapping of jobs onto cloud resources, especially in the case of the processing of the big data workloads. In this paper, we compare the performances of the cloud schedulers for various combinations of the cloud workloads with different characteristics. We define several scenarios where the proper types of schedulers can be selected from a list of scheduling models implemented in the system, and used to schedule the concrete workloads based on the workloads' parameters and the feedback on the efficiency of the schedulers. The presented work is the first step in the development and implementation of an automatic intelligent scheduler selection system. In our simple experimental analysis, we confirm the usefulness of such a system in today's data-intensive cloud computing.
Response-Surface Designs for Quantitative and Qualitative Variables (1988)

When some variables are quantitative and some qualitative in a response-surface context, standard designs may not be suitable. The reasons for this are illuminated. Some alternative designs are discussed. Every n-point design provides n linearly independent estimation contrasts. Some of these, p say, are needed to estimate the p parameters of the postulated model. The remaining n — p linearly independent estimation contrasts are available to estimate pure error (if used) and to test for lack of fit, either overall or in particular ways. The key to choosing a good design is to use the available degrees of freedom well, given certain assumptions about the model to be fitted. When there is also uncertainty about the model assumptions, dogmatic design advice is not possible. Sound guidelines are available, however, and these are presented and illustrated.
Triple helices containing arabinonucleotides in the third (Hoogsteen) strand: effects of inverted stereochemistry at the 2'-position of the sugar moiety (1998)

Arabinonucleic acid, the 2'-stereoisomer of RNA, was tested for its ability to recognize double-helical DNA, double-helical RNA and RNA-DNA hybrids. A pyrimidine oligoarabinonucleotide (ANA) was shown to form triple-helical complexes only with duplex DNA and hybrid DNA (Pu):RNA (Py) with an affinity that was slightly lower relative to the corresponding pyrimidine oligodeoxynucleotide (DNA) third strand. Neither the ANA nor DNA third strands were able to bind to duplex RNA or hybrid RNA (Pu):DNA (Py). In contrast, an RNA third strand recognized all four possible duplexes (DD, DR, RD and RR), as previously demonstrated. Such an understanding can be applied to the design of sequence-selective oligonucleotides which interact with double-stranded nucleic acids and emphasizes the role of the 2'-OH group as a general recognition and binding determinant of RNA.
BIG News in Alcohol Addiction: New Findings on Growth Factor Pathways BDNF, Insulin, and GDNF (2006)

In recent years, it has become clear that growth factors are not only critical for the development of the central nervous system (CNS) but may also be important contributors to other neuronal functions in the adult brain. This symposium, presented at the 2005 RSA meeting, discussed evidence to support the hypothesis that alterations in growth factor pathways produce dramatic changes in the effects of alcohol on the CNS. The 4 speakers showed that the behavioral effects of alcohol in the adult are regulated by 3 growth factors, insulin, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Dr. Wolf from the Heberlein laboratory presented findings obtained from genetic manipulations in Drosophila melanogaster, demonstrating that the insulin pathway controls sensitivity to the intoxicating effects of alcohol. Marian Logrip from the Ron and Janak laboratories presented evidence obtained in rodents that low concentrations of alcohol increase the expression of BDNF in the brain to regulate alcohol consumption. Dr. Pandey showed that amygdalar BDNF regulates alcohol's anxiolytic effects and preference. Finally, Dr. Janak presented evidence that increases in the expression of GDNF in the midbrain reduce alcohol self-administration in rats.
Decreased expression of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) in male germ cells at elevated temperature. (1998)

Physiological scrotal hypothermia is necessary for normal spermatogenesis and fertility in mammals. Cirp is a recently identified cold-inducible RNA-binding protein that is inducible at 32 degrees C in mouse somatic cells in vitro. Cirp is constitutively expressed in the testis of mouse and structurally highly similar to RBM1, a candidate for the human azoospermia factor. To elucidate the role played by Cirp in spermatogenesis, we investigated its expression levels during spermatogenesis and after heat stress. In the mouse testis, cirp mRNA was detected in the germ cells, and the level varied depending on the stage of differentiation. Also, a high level of Cirp protein was detected immunohistochemically in the nucleus of primary spermatocytes. Expression of Cirp was decreased in the GC-2spd(ts) mouse germ cell line when culture temperature was raised from 32 degrees C to 37 degrees C. When mouse testis was exposed to heat stress by experimental cryptorchidism or immersion of the lower abdomen in warm (42 degrees C) water, the expression of Cirp was decreased in the testis within 6 hours after either treatment. In human testis with varicocele analyzed immunohistochemically, germ cells expressed less Cirp protein than those in the testis without varicocele. These results demonstrated that CIRP expression is down-regulated at elevated temperature in male germ cells of mice and humans. Analysis of Cirp expression in the testes will help elucidate the molecular mechanisms leading to male infertility.
MEMS Diffractive Optical Nanoruler Technology for Tipbased Nanofabrication and Metrology (2009)

This paper reports on a diffractive optical nanoruler used to guide tip-based nanofabrication. A precision of plusmn3 times 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-4</sup> has been demonstrated across a 75 mm wafer; we can account for errors external to the system which reduce this figure to plusmn1.5 times 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-5</sup> . A microfabricated aluminum grating diffracts an external cavity laser beam stabilized to the rubidium D2 line (780 nm). The resulting hexagonal lattice intensity pattern guides a PC-board assembly, consisting of a quadrature photodiode and an STM tip, on a flexural piezo stage. The STM tip is used to make indentations in resist spun on an Al film deposited on a silicon wafer. The precision is measured using electron microscopy by locating the indentations.
Pd Adatom Decorated (100) Preferentially Oriented Pt Nanoparticles for Formic Acid Electrooxidation (2010)

Mehr als nur dekorativ: Mit Pd-Adatomen dekorierte Pt-Nanopartikel, die eine bevorzugte (100)-Orientierung aufweisen, zeigen eine verbesserte Leistung bei der elektrokatalytischen Oxidation von Ameisensäure (siehe Schema). Da außerdem die Adatome auf eine ähnliche Weise abgeschieden werden wie bei analogen Einkristallstudien, können Vergleiche zwischen Einkristall- und Nanopartikelkatalyse angestellt werden.

Design of a dual band frequency reconfigurable patch antenna for GSM and Wi-Fi applications (2016)

Reconfigurable antennas due to their versatile qualities are highly demanded nowadays. A novel frequency reconfigurable patch antenna with two metallic rings around a rectangular patch is presented in this paper. Frequency reconfigurability can be achieved by changing the radiating surface of antenna. Surrounding metallic rings are connected to center patch with switches. The antenna operate in 1.8 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands, when the switches are turned ON and OFF respectively. When the switches are turned ON they add external rings to radiating surface, hence increasing the surface size which in return changes the operating frequency of antenna. Different types of switching elements like MEMS, varactor diodes PIN diodes or optical switches can be used depending upon the nature of application. In this paper optical switches are chosen due to their advantage of not interfering with antenna radiation characteristics due to no need of biased lines. Antenna presented in this paper can be reconfigured to operate on Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) and GSM (1.8 GHz) frequencies at a time. The antenna gives directivity and efficiency of (7.89 dBi, 48 %) and (8.2 dBi, 93 %) at 1.8 GHz and 2.4 GHz respectively. CST (Computer Simulation Tool) is used for design and simulation of proposed antenna.
Vision and neural control for an orange harvesting robot (2002)

We describe the system control architecture of a large orange harvesting robot. This robot has two independent electrically driven telescopic arms mounted on a common platform which is itself held by a large hydraulic arm. This arm, in turn, is mounted on a tracked vehicle. The telescopic arms have cameras within the end-effecters, which are used to detect and measure the position and distance of the fruit within the canopy of a tree. Most of the development and control software was implemented using the matrix-based Virtual Machine Language (VML). This language was designed to implement neural networks, and has been extended and enhanced for robotic applications and the particular low level control requirements of the hardware. The device drivers provide the interface to frame grabbers, motor drivers, digital interface electronics, proximity detectors, and file handling. The same interface is used to implement interprocess communications with display and monitoring tools.
[Exogenous allergic alveolitis (bird fancier's lung)]. (1988)

A 13 year old boy was admitted to our clinic because of caugh, dyspnoe, tachypnoe and bilateral fine moist rales since more than 6 months. Pulmonary function studies showed a restrictive lung disease. Lung biopsy revealed an interstitial pneumonitis. These findings together with a hypergammaglobulinemia and precipitating antibodies were highly suggestive of an extrinsic allergic alveolitis i.e. pigeon breeder's disease. The patient was treated with corticosteroids and is well after 1 year without any therapy except prevention of further exposure.

A 5-GS/s, 13-mW, 2-channel time-interleaved asynchronous ADC in 65nm CMOS (2016)

This paper presents a high-speed energy-efficient analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with two-channel time-interleaving on an asynchronous pipelined-flash architecture for each channel. With use of multiple sampling paths as well as asynchronous control by a low-power 6-phase clock generation, the proposed ADC eliminates power-hungry and bandwidth-limited residue amplifiers without sacrificing the speed. The ADC prototype is fabricated in 65-nm CMOS process with measured power consumption of 13 mW and speed of 5-GS/s with 37dB SFDR and 30dB SNR in 2.5GHz bandwidth.
Serologic reactivity to purified recombinant and native 29-kilodalton peripheral membrane protein of pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica (1993)

The 29-kDa peripheral membrane protein of Entamoeba histolytica has recently been demonstrated to have epitopes on pathogenic clinical isolates which were not detected by monoclonal antibodies on nonpathogenic isolates. To analyze the serological response to this protein, we tested 93 serum specimens (from 33 patients with amebic liver abscess, 7 patients with colitis, 2 patients with ameboma, 18 individuals harboring a nonpathogenic zymodeme strain, 10 healthy Mexican migrant workers, and 23 healthy controls) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using immunoaffinity-purified native or recombinant protein. When tested by ELISA with the native antigen, 79% (26 of 33) of the serum specimens from patients with amebic liver abscess, 4 of 9 serum specimens from symptomatic patients with colitis or ameboma, and serum from one migrant worker were positive. None of the 18 subjects harboring a nonpathogenic strain or 23 control individuals were seropositive to the native antigen (sensitivity, 71%; specificity, 98%). Of 30 serum specimens from patients with amebic liver abscess tested with recombinant antigen, 27 were seropositive (90%). In addition, six patients with colitis or ameboma and two individuals who harbored a nonpathogenic strain were seropositive to the recombinant antigen. One healthy Mexican migrant worker tested positive by both ELISAs (sensitivity, 87%; specificity, 94%). Immunoblotting of 51 serum specimens to sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured native 29-kDa protein was less sensitive (65%) than ELISA in detecting serum antibodies to the antigen. These results suggest a similar antibody response to native and recombinant antigens (r = 0.86) and support the potential utility of a quantitative assay with defined recombinant antigen for the serodiagnosis of invasive amebiasis in nonendemic areas in conjunction with other diagnostic tools.
Built-in dynamic current sensor circuitfor digital VLSI CMOS testing (1994)

IDDQ testing is a powerful strategy for detecting defects that do not alter the logic behaviour of CMOS ICs. Such a technique is very effective especially in the detection of bridging defects although some open defects can be also detected. However, an important set of open defects escapes quiescent power supply current testing because they prevent any current elevation. As a solution, dynamic current testing is investigated. A built-in dynamic current sensor is proposed.
