<title>Humanlike agents with posture planning ability</title> (1992)

Human body models are geometric structures which may be ultimately controlled by kinematically manipulating their joints, but for animation, it is desirable to control them in terms of task-level goals. We address a fundamental problem in achieving task-level postural goals: controlling massively redundant degrees of freedom. We reduce the degrees of freedom by introducing significant control points and vectors, e.g., pelvis forward vector, palm up vector, and torso up vector, etc. This reduced set of parameters are used to enumerate primitive motions and motion dependencies among them, and thus to select from a small set of alternative postures (e.g., bend versus squat to lower shoulder height). A plan for a given goal is found by incrementally constructing a goal/constraint set based on the given goal, motion dependencies, collision avoidance requirements, and discovered failures. Global postures satisfying a given goal/constraint set are determined with the help of incremental mental simulation which uses a robust inverse kinematics algorithm. The contributions of the present work are: (1) There is no need to specify beforehand the final goal configuration, which is unrealistic for the human body, and (2) the degrees of freedom problem becomes easier by representing body configurations in terms of `lumped' control parameters, that is, control points and vectors.
New T47D breast cancer cell lines for the independent study of progesterone B- and A-receptors: only antiprogestin-occupied B-receptors are switched to transcriptional agonists by cAMP. (1994)

Because progesterone antagonists are growth inhibitors, they are in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of breast cancer. However, when cellular cAMP levels are elevated, some antiprogestins inappropriately activate transcription. We have proposed that hormone "resistance" may result from such unintended stimulation of breast cancer by antagonists. In transient expression systems, the two natural isoforms of human progesterone receptors (PR), B-receptors and truncated A-receptors, have dissimilar effects on agonist-mediated transcription. We show here that in the presence of 8-Br-cAMP, antiprogestin-occupied B-receptors but not A-receptors become transcriptional activators. Therefore, we developed new model systems to study each PR isoform independently in a breast cancer setting: (a) a stable PR-negative monoclonal subline (T47D-Y) of PR-positive T47D breast cancer cells was selected by flow cytometric PR screening. T47D-Y cells are PR-negative by immunoassays, by ligand binding assay, by growth resistance to progestins, by failure to bind a progesterone response element (PRE) in vitro, and by failure to transactivate PRE-regulated promoters; and (b) T47D-Y cells were stably transfected with expression vectors encoding one or the other PR isoform, and two monoclonal cell lines were selected that express either B-receptors (T47D-YB) or A-receptors (T47D-YA) at levels equal to those seen in natural T47D cells. The ectopically expressed receptors are properly phosphorylated, and like endogenously expressed receptors, they undergo ligand-dependent down-regulation. The expected B:B or A:A homodimers are present in cell extracts from each cell line, but A:B heterodimers are missing in both. In the presence of agonists, cAMP-dependent, transcriptional synergism of PRE-regulated promoters is seen in both cell lines. By contrast, in the presence of the antiprogestins RU486 or ZK112993, inappropriate transactivation occurs in YB cells but not in YA cells. The class of antiprogestins represented by ZK98299, which blocks PR binding to DNA, does not activate transcription in either cell line. We propose that these new cell lines are physiological models for the study of PR isoform-specific antiprogestin resistance in breast cancer.
Low-Temperature Plasma-Oxidation Process for Reliable Tantalum-Oxide (TaO) Decoupling Capacitors (2008)

Low-temperature plasma-oxidation process of ultra-thin PVD-Ta is developed to fabricate MIM capacitors with high-k TaO dielectric through the current Cu-BEOL process. We found that controlling both the oxidation process and micro-structure of the initial Ta to be oxidized is a key to achieve high-quality TaO dielectrics. Laminated TiN/Ta/TiN bottom electrode with a flat surface in nano-scale contributes to high reliability. The integrated TaO-MIM capacitor in the Cu-BEOL achieves high breakdown voltage of 10 V with high capacitance of 13 fF/μm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> , and the TDDB lifetime at 85 °C exceeds 10 years at less than 4 V (2 MV/cm).
Immature articular cartilage is more susceptible to blood‐induced damage than mature articular cartilage: An in vivo animal study (2003)

Joints of skeletally immature dogs appeared to be more susceptible than joints of mature dogs to the adverse effects of a joint hemorrhage. These data suggest that for humans, specifically young children are at risk for joint damage after a joint hemorrhage.
Berasik Healing Ritual Performance: Illness Etiology Perspectives amongst Bajau Sama Natives Practices (2017)

Sabah is one of Malaysia state that rich in ethnic diversity, art and culture. This diversity varies in uniqueness in the practices and beliefs that are shared among the people during the period of origin. Starting from the history of animistic appeal until the evolution of religious consent, most Malaysians practice different beliefs and remedies based on the inheritance of their ancestors. Since then, various customs that are practiced by hereditary that affect the things in daily life has been born. The customs and inheritance that is practiced influence in all aspects of social life that are fixed to the values of beliefs held. One of them is the healing belief that is practiced by the Bajau Sama native in the hinterland of Sabah. Practice in each area is different and has a unique tradition. Few examples of healing belief that is embodied and practiced by the people of Sabah are ngalai, kok ta'un, igal, melabuh ajung and etcetera. Practices in each locality and tribe are different and have a unique sense of tradition. Therefore, this study will focus on a ceremony of healing ritual known as berasik among the Bajau Sama tribe in Kampung Beliajung, Kota Marudu located on the West Coast (North) of Sabah. The berasik is a form of special performances practiced only by the Beliajung villagers. In fact, it is a healing practice that couples several elements of performances such as role play, music and ngalai. This study was conducted by ethnographic method intend to understand the discourse of healing presentations among the community in order to understand the culture practiced. This study will also exemplify the practices and beliefs associated with the etiology of sedated diseases in order to preserve and uplifiting the heritage as a world intangible heritage gazette.

WiFi assisted multi-WiGig AP coordination for future multi-Gbps WLANs (2015)

Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) access points (APs) using the 60 GHz unlicensed frequency band are considered as key enablers for future Gbps wireless local area networks (WLANs). Exhaustive search analog beamforming (BF) is mainly used with WiGig transmissions to overcome channel propagation loss and accomplish data transmissions. Due to its short range transmission with high susceptibility to path blocking, a multiple number of WiGig APs should be installed to fully cover a typical target environment. Therefore, coordination among the installed APs is highly needed for enabling WiGig concurrent transmissions while overcoming packet collisions and reducing interference, which highly increases the total throughput of WiGig WLANs. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive architecture for coordinated WiGig WLANs. The proposed WiGig WLAN is based on a tight coordination between the 5 GHz (WiFi) and the 60 GHz (WiGig) unlicensed frequency bands. By which, the wide coverage WiFi band is used to do the signaling required for organizing WiGig concurrent data transmissions using control/user (C/U) plane splitting. To reduce the interference to existing WiGig data links while doing BF, a novel location based BF mechanism is also proposed based on WiFi fingerprinting.

Synchronize Your Watches: Part II: Special-Purpose Solutions for Distributed Real-Time Control (2013)

The ability to carry out coordered activities in distributed applications is currently considered a basic requirement in most industrial scenarios as well as in many areas with demanding real-time constraints, such as modern electric power systems, the automotive/avionic domains, and some types of networked embedded control systems. For this reason, the majority of the networks that were conceived recently for use in these environments provide some means to deal with distributed clock (DC) synchronization. EtherCAT is a high-performance Ethernet-based industrial network. Its main goal is to enable the adoption of Ethernet communications in automation applications that require short cycle times and low communication jitters. This protocol is an open standard based on master-slave architecture. An important feature of EtherCAT is the DC synchronization mechanism, which enables all devices to share the same system time. In this way, typical control operations, such as the generation of coordered output signals or the precise timestamping of input events, can be synchronized for all devices in the network.
Active learning support vector machines to classify imbalanced reservoir simulation data (2010)

Reservoir modeling is an on-going activity during the production life of a reservoir. One challenge to constructing accurate reservoir models is the time required to carry out a large number of computer simulations. To address this issue, we have constructed surrogate models (proxies) for the computer simulator to reduce the simulation time. The quality of the proxies, however, relies on the quality of the computer simulation data. Frequently, the majority of the simulation outputs match poorly to the production data collected from the field. In other words, most of the data describe the characteristics of what the reservoir is not (negative samples), rather than what the reservoir is (positive samples). Applying machine learning methods to train a simulator proxy based on these data faces the challenge of imbalanced training data. This work applies active learning support vector machines to incrementally select a subset of informative simulation data to train a classifier as the simulator proxy. We compare the results with the results produced by the standard support vector machines combined with other imbalanced training data handling techniques. Based on the support vectors in the trained classifiers, we analyze high impact parameters that separating good-matching reservoir models from bad-matching models.
Product lifecycle management through innovative and competitive business environment (2010)

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the process of managing the whole life cycle of a product starting from generating an idea, concept description, business analyzes, product design and solution architecture and technical implementation, to the successful entrance to the market, service, maintenance and product improvement. At present, a wide range of stakeholders including consumers, regulators, shareholders and public bodies are demanding that companies address product management through all life cycle in a more comprehensive and sustainable way. However, even if a company actually wishes innovate its processes for improving the way to account for project management, it will face relevant difficulties to deal with different guidelines, tools and methods currently addressing the matter from various points of view. The purpose of this paper is to review literature on PLM from an operational point of view with the objective to help companies to answer to the main market needs.
A Comparative Study of Contemporary Color Tongue Image Extraction Methods Based on HSI (2014)

Tongue image with coating is of important clinical diagnostic meaning, but traditional tongue image extraction method is not competent for extraction of tongue image with thick coating. In this paper, a novel method is suggested, which applies multiobjective greedy rules and makes fusion of color and space information in order to extract tongue image accurately. A comparative study of several contemporary tongue image extraction methods is also made from the aspects of accuracy and efficiency. As the experimental results show, geodesic active contour is quite slow and not accurate, the other 3 methods achieve fairly good segmentation results except in the case of the tongue with thick coating, our method achieves ideal segmentation results whatever types of tongue images are, and efficiency of our method is acceptable for the application of quantitative check of tongue image.

Phage-Displayed Combinatorial Peptide Libraries in Fusion to &#946;-Lactamase as Reporter for an Accelerated Clone Screening: Potential Uses of Selected Enzyme-Linked Affinity Reagents in Downstream Applications (2009)

Phage-display selection of combinatorial libraries is a powerful technique for identifying binding ligands against desired targets. Evaluation of target binding capacity of multiple clones recovered from phage display selection to a specific target is laborious, time-consuming, and a rate-limiting step. We constructed phage-display combinatorial peptide libraries in fusion with a beta-lactamase enzyme, which acts as a reporter. Linear dodecapeptide and cysteine-constrained decapeptide libraries were created at the amino-terminus of the Enterobacter cloacae P99 cephalosporinase molecule (P99 beta-lactamase). The overall and positional diversity of amino acids in both libraries was similar to other phage-display systems. The libraries were selected against the extracellular domain of ErbB2 receptor (ErbB2(ECD)). The target-selected clones were already conjugated to an enzyme reporter, therefore, did not require subcloning or any other post-panning modifications. We used beta-lactamase enzyme activity-based assays for sample normalizations and clone binding evaluation. Clones were identified that bound to purified ErbB2(ECD) and ErbB2-overexpressing cell-lines. The peptide sequences of the selected binding clones shared significant motifs with several rationally designed peptide mimetics and phage-display derived peptides that have been reported to bind ErbB2(ECD). beta-Lactamase fusion to peptides saved time and resources otherwise required by the phage-ELISA of a typical phage display screening protocol. The beta-lactamase enzyme assay protocols is a one-step process that does not require secondary proteins, several steps of lengthy incubations, or washings and can be finished in a few minutes instead of hours. The clone screening protocol can be adopted for a high throughput platform. Target-specific beta-lactamase-linked affinity reagents selected by this procedure can be produced in bulk, purified, and used, without any modification, for a variety of downstream applications, including targeted prodrug therapy.
Solution effects on the surface reactions of a bioactive glass (1993)

The in vitro surface reactions of a 45S5 bioactive glass in three simulated body fluids (SBF) are analyzed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Five reaction stages are observed. Calcium and phosphate ions in SBF accelerate to a small extent the repolymerization of silica (Stage 3) and formation of an amorphous calcium-phosphate (a-CP) layer (Stage 4) on the glass surface. The a-CaP layer is crystallized to form hydroxy-carbonate apatite (HCAp) (Stage 5) more rapidly in the Ca- and P-containing SBF solutions (in 90 min rather than 120 min). However, Mg ions in SBF slow down formation of the a-CaP layer and greatly retard crystallization of HCAp on the glass surface.
Location and State of Pt in Platinized CdS/TiO<sub>2</sub> Photocatalysts for Hydrogen Production from Water under Visible Light (2008)

CdS/TiO2 composite photocatalysts were platinized by different methods such as photodeposition (PD), wet impregnation (WI), and chemical reduction (CR), and studied for hydrogen production from water under visible light. All Pt species were in the metallic state, yet PD and WI photocatalysts contained electron-deficient Pt. In particular, Pt−Ti formation was identified in the WI catalyst, which contributed to electron deficiency of Pt. These two photocatalysts of electron-deficient Pt exhibited higher rates of hydrogen evolution due to favorable diffusion of photoelectrons from excited CdS toward the Pt. Between PD and WI photocatalysts, the PD catalyst showed a lower rate because part of the Pt in the catalyst resided on CdS, whereas all Pt species were located on TiO2 nanoparticles for WI and CR catalysts. The results indicate that the location as well as the electronic state of Pt is important for the high performance of platinized CdS/TiO2 photocatalysts in hydrogen production from water.
ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF HYPERSURFACES EQUIDISTANT FROM TOTALLY GEODESIC SUBMANIFOLDS IN HYPERBOLIC SPACE (1998)

Let H be the n-dimensional real hyperbolic space and pi: H -> M be the universal covering map of a compact Riemannian manifold M of constant curvature -1. Let P be a k-dimensional complete totally geodesic submanifold of H and P_r be the corresponding tubular hypersurface at distance r. In this article we prove that pi(P_r) distributes increasingly uniformly in M as r tends to infinity. Using eigenspace decomposition of the Laplacian, this fact can be considered as geometric application of the asymptotics of a particular ordinary differential equation.
Nuclear Resonance in Ferromagnetic Cobalt (1960)

The observation of nuclear magnetic resonance in ferromagnetic cobalt is reported. The resonance frequency for finely divided face-centered-cubic material has been measured in the intermediate temperature range. The frequency extrapolated to 0°K is 217.2 Mc/sec, and the temperature dependence in this range is in general agreement with that of the magnetization. This frequency implies a hyperfine field of 217 500 oe, which is in good agreement with the field deduced from specific heat measurements on hexagonal cobalt. The agreement in the two structures indicates that there is no dipolar contribution to the hyperfinefield. The theoretical implications of this observation are discussed. The resonance line is inhomogeneously broadened with a half width of 400 kc/sec. A pattern of beats is observed at high passage rates which makes it possible to determine a spin-spin time of 25 μsec. By varying the modulation frequency under conditions of intermediate saturation the spin lattice relaxation time is measured to be 280 μsec. The resonance signal is remarkably intense, being 5×105 stronger than calculated for a dipole transition in the driving radio frequency field. It is shown from the saturation measurements that the rf field at the cobalt nucleus is 103 times stronger than the external driving field. These intensity and saturation measurements, as well as the observed line shape,establish that the resonance is driven by domain wall motion. Only those spins within the domain walls are affected. An external field reduces the intensity of the resonance but produces no shift in the resonance frequency. Both these effects are consistent with domain wall excitation. Spin-spin relaxation is interpreted as a spin wave coupling reduced in intensity by the broadening of the resonance spectrum. The spin-lattice relaxationis by spin diffusion away from the domain walls and ultimately to the lattice by coupling with the conduction electrons as suggested by the temperature dependence of the relaxation time.

AutoT&T v.2: An Efficient and Versatile Tool for Lead Structure Generation and Optimization (2016)

2011 , 51 , 1474 - 1491 ) we reported a new de novo design method, namely, Automatic Tailoring and Transplanting (AutoT&T). It overcomes some intrinsic problems in conventional fragment-based buildup methods. In this study, we describe an upgraded version, namely, AutoT&T2. Structural operations conducted by AutoT&T2 have been largely optimized by introducing several new algorithms. As a result, its overall speed in multiround optimization jobs has been improved by a few thousand fold. With this improvement, it is now practical to conduct structural crossover among multiple lead molecules using AutoT&T2. Three different test cases are described in this study that demonstrate the new features and versatile applications of AutoT&T2. The AutoT&T2 software suite is available to the public. Besides, a Web portal for running AutoT&T2 online is provided at http://www.sioc-ccbg.ac.cn/software/att2 for testing.
