Uplink SDMA with Limited Feedback: Throughput Scaling (2007)

Combined space division multiple access (SDMA) and scheduling exploit both spatial multiplexing and multiuser diversity, increasing throughput significantly. Both SDMA and scheduling require feedback of multiuser channel sate information (CSI). This paper focuses on uplink SDMA with limited feedback, which refers to efficient techniques for CSI quantization and feedback. To quantify the throughput of uplink SDMA and derive design guidelines, the throughput scaling with system parameters is analyzed. The specific parameters considered include the numbers of users, antennas, and feedback bits. Furthermore, different SNR regimes and beamforming methods are considered. The derived throughput scaling laws are observed to change for different SNR regimes. For instance, the throughput scales logarithmically with the number of users in the high SNR regime but double logarithmically in the low SNR regime. The analysis of throughput scaling suggests guidelines for scheduling in uplink SDMA. For example, to maximize throughput scaling, scheduling should use the criterion of minimum quantization errors for the high SNR regime and maximum channel power for the low SNR regime.
A simulation technique for predicting thickness of thermal sprayed coatings (1995)

The complexity of many of the components being coated today using the thermal spray process makes the trial and error approach traditionally followed in depositing a uniform coating inadequate, thereby necessitating a more analytical approach to developing robotic trajectories. A two dimensional finite difference simulation model has been developed to predict the thickness of coatings deposited using the thermal spray process. The model couples robotic and component trajectories and thermal spraying parameters to predict coating thickness. Simulations and experimental verification were performed on a rotating disk to evaluate the predictive capabilities of the approach.
Functionalized Ionic Microgel Sensor Array for Colorimetric Detection and Discrimination of Metal Ions (2017)

A functional ionic microgel sensor array was developed by using 1-(2-pyridinylazo)-2-naphthaleno (PAN)- and bromothymol blue (BTB)-functionalized ionic microgels, which were designed and synthesized by quaternization reaction and anion-exchange reaction, respectively. The PAN microgels (PAN-MG) and BTB microgels (BTB-MG) were spherical in shape with a narrow size distribution and exhibited characteristic colors in aqueous solution in the presence of various trace-metal ions, which could be visually distinguished by the naked eye. Such microgels could be used for the colorimetric detection of various metal ions in aqueous solution at submicromolar levels, which were lower than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standard for the safety limit of metal ions in drinking water. A total of 10 species of metal ions in aqueous solution, Ba<sup>2+</sup>, Cr<sup>3+</sup>, Mn<sup>2+</sup>, Pb<sup>2+</sup>, Fe<sup>3+</sup>, Co<sup>2+</sup>, Zn<sup>2+</sup>, Ni<sup>2+</sup>, Cu<sup>2+</sup>, and Al<sup>3+</sup>, were successfully discriminated by the as-constructed microgel sensor array combined with discriminant analysis, agglomerative hierarchical clustering, and leave-one-out cross-validation analysis.
New Baits and Attractants for Slugs (1970)

The slug Deroceras reticulatum (Muller) was attracted to beer and fell into shallow vessels of the liquid and drowned. Moderately attractive baits were fresh unfermented grape juice and a fermenting sugar-yeast Drosophila bait. Commercial and laboratory-prepared metaldehyde baits on wheat bran or a plastic foam (Oasis®) were increased in effectiveness when moistened with beer but were no more effective than beer alone. Bay 37344 (4-(methylthio)-3,5-xylyl methylcarbamate) on bran and plastic foam plus beer also were highly effective.

Baits containing metaldehyde on wheat bran or rice hulls were also increased in attractiveness to Vaginulus plebeius Fisher by adding beer.

Observations indicate that slugs do not deliberately crawl into the liquid but tumble in from edges of the vessels.
Designing transparent display experience through the use of kinetic interaction (2017)

This essay presents a study into the domain of architecture meeting new interaction design principles. The paper discusses future transparent surfaces to become programmable kinetic user interfaces, usable as information and communication channels to simplify our everyday environment. Based on the approach of using the five methodologies: Cultural Probes, Research Through Design, Grounded Theory, Star Life Cycle Model and Wizard of Oz; consistent data was collected to design and iterate on a visionary interface prototype to bridge the use of freehand gestures through motion sensing and moreover supported by RFID in a building structure on a see-through background. The objective of this paper is to unravel the main research question of how can people through kinetic interaction use organic interfaces on transparent surfaces?\nSeveral possible uses were ideated such as multiple shared user access, collaborative interaction on both sides. The primary research was answered through a final presented prototype combining a CV system with RFID for multiple and collaborative usages. User experiences and feedback makes an array of applications possible how a transparent interfaces with kinetic interaction can be applied to the interior and exterior such as fridge, mirror, doors, glass panels, alarm systems, games and the home entertainment.\nIn today’s norm screens in the shape of a square are obsolete and support of new patterns, forms and materials are needed. Fieldwork concluded that kinetic interaction could flawlessly unite real world conditions with computer-generated substance, and become the design environment for future interactions to communicate with the user. We no longer seek to be bound to stiff shaped Graphical User Interfaces. Adding a transparent surface as background for such kinetic motion is underlying paradigm for the content to be projected into any ambience and surroundings.
Effects of Dietary Supplementation with Fructooligosaccharides on Colonic Microbiota Populations and Epithelial Cell Proliferation in Neonatal Pigs (1995)

Two experiments were conducted with neonatal pigs to determine the effects of feeding fructooligosaccharides on cecal and colonic microbiota, proliferation of cecal and colonic epithelial mucosa, and short-chain fatty acid concentrations in the cecum. Experiment 1 consisted of feeding neonatal pigs diets containing either 0 or 3 g fructooligosaccharies/L of formula for 15 days and then examining the large intestine for changes in cecal and proximal colonic microbiota; cecal pH; short-chain fatty acid concentrations; morphology of cecal, proximal, and distal colonic epithelial mucosa; gross necropsy; and histopathology. Supplementation with fructooligosacchariudes (FOS) did not alter cell counts of viable bifidobacterial organisms or total anaerobic microbiota, cecal pH, or concentrations of short-chain fatty acids. Cecal mucosal cell density and labeled cells increased with FOS consumption. Proximal colonic mucosal crypt height, leading edge, labeled cells, proliferation zone, and labeling index increased with FOS consumption. Distal colonic mucosal crypt height, leading edge, cell density, labeling index, and labeled cells increased with FOS consumption. Gross necropsy and histopathology found no significan lesions. In Experiment 2, neonatal pigs were fed diets containing either 0 or 3 g fructooligosaccharides/L of formula for 6 days. Fecal samples were collected on the first full day of feeding and on days 3 and 6 after initiation of feeding. On days 1 and 3, concentrations of bifidobacteria were similar between diets; however, on day 6, pigs consuming FOS tended to have greater numbers of bifidobacteria (p = 0.08). These data suggest dietary consumption of FOS will enhance bifidobacteria populations and prevent colonic epithelial mucosa atrophy in neonates fed an elemental diet.
Corporate Collapse: Regulatory, Accounting and Ethical Failure (1998)

Frank L. Clarke, Graeme W. Dean, and Kyle G. Oliver, Corporate Collapse: Regulatory, Accounting and Ethical Failure (Melbourne: Cambridge University Press, 1997, 314 pp., $69.95) Clarke, Dean, and Oliver have gathered convincing evidence from three decades of corporate collapses in Australia to question the role played by the accounting profession and the accounting regulators in most of these financial disasters. Although this is a book about Australian corporate history, it should be of interest and relevance to readers in other countries, particularly those countries that espouse an AngloAmerican accounting philosophy. Reference is also made to similar collapses and therefore similar problems in the U.K. and U.S. The first sentence in the preface sets the agenda and leaves the reader in no doubt as to the authors' thesis: Over more than three decades of corporate collapse, continued criticism of accounting is the result of ineffective action by regulators in general and the accounting profession in particular [p. xii]. In the first of five parts, the authors develop their argument that current accounting standards and regulations do not provide useful information for investors or creditors and particularly do not predict impending collapse. Strict adherence to standards has, in fact, enabled directors to confuse and mislead about the true state of financial affairs of the corporation. The hue and cry after every major collapse blames incorrect application, not the system itself. However, the authors observe that none of the commentaries attack the organisational and accounting fundamentals -- virtually all imply that current standards have not been applied adequately. None observe that even if they had been, it would not have solved the problem [p. 12]. The reaction of regulators is inevitably the prescription of more rules. Such a response is not new; the Royal Mail collapse in the 1920s evoked a similar reaction. The middle three sections of this book are devoted to a history of major corporate collapses. Each of the nine chapters covers the events of a single corporate collapse. The collapses included are Reid Murray, Stanhill, H. G. Palmer, Minsec, Cambridge Credit, Associated Securities, Adsteam, Bond, and Westmex. All had highly complex group structures which contributed to the misleading information published in their accounting reports. The authors have analyzed the contemporary materials and given a commentary on these data and reactions at the time. …
Gene transfer into<i>Clostridium difficile</i>CD630 and characterisation of its methylase genes (2003)

Ignorance of pathogenesis in Clostridium difficile may be attributable to a lack of effective genetic tools. We have now shown that oriT-based shuttle vectors may be conjugated from Escherichia coli donors to the C. difficile strain CD630, at frequencies of around 10(-6) transconjugants per donor cell. Transfer is unaffected by either sequences present on the vector or its methylation status. Whilst the genome of this strain carries five methylase genes, there is no in silico or experimental evidence for cognate restriction enzymes. It would seem that the identified methylases do not participate in restriction-modification, and must, therefore, fulfil another role. A similar situation most likely applies to other clostridia.
A convenient derivatization with anion exchange resin catalysts for high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis. I. Derivatization of estrogens with dansyl chloride. (1985)

Anion exchange resins, Duolite A-101D, A-102D, and A-109, were applied to the fluorescent derivatization of estrogens with dansyl chloride (DNS-Cl) for high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis. The derivatization proceeded rapidly and efficiently on passing a mixed solution of estrogens and DNS-Cl in acetone through a small column packed with Duolite A-102D (OH- form) to give the corresponding DNS-estrogens in excellent yields. The procedure using the resin column is of practical value and may be applicable to the derivatization of other analytical samples.
<i>I</i> <i>n</i> <i>s</i> <i>i</i> <i>t</i> <i>u</i> preparation of Y-Ba-Cu-O superconducting thin films by magnetron sputtering (1988)

Thin superconducting films of YBa2 Cu3 O7 have been prepared by magnetron sputtering from targets of sintered material in an oxygen-argon atmosphere. The compositional and structural properties were studied by Rutherford backscattering and x-ray diffraction. The films were deposited at substrate temperatures between 580 and 800 °C. It was found that the material grows in the oxygen deficient tetragonal phase. In situ heat treatment at 430 °C in pure O2 atmosphere generates the orthorhombic structure and the films on sapphire and SrTiO3 coated sapphire substrates show the full superconducting transition at 83 K.
Modeling the effects of amount and timing of deception in simulated network scenarios (2017)

With the growth of digital infrastructure, cyber-attacks are increasing in the real-world. Cyber-attacks are deliberate exploitation of computer systems, technology-dependent enterprises, and networks. Deception, i.e., the act of making someone believe in something that is not true, could be a way of countering cyber-attacks. In this paper, we propose a real-time simulation environment (“Deception Game”), which we used to evaluate and model the decision making of hackers in the presence of deception. In an experiment, using a repeated Deception Game (N = 100 participants), we analyzed the effect of two factors on participants' decisions to attack a computer network: amount of deception used and the timing of deception. Across 10-attack trials, the amount of deception used was manipulated at 2-levels: low and high. The timing of deception was manipulated at 2-levels: early and late. Results revealed that using late and high deception caused a reduction in attacks on regular webserver compared to early and low deception. Furthermore, we developed a cognitive model of hacker's decision-making using Instance-Based Learning (IBL) Theory, a theory of decisions from experience. The parameters obtained from the model helped explain the reasons for our experimental results.
Development of Hot Gas Cleaning Systems for Advanced, Coal-Based Gas Turbine Cycles (1993)

Westinghouse is developing hot gas cleaning systems for advanced, coal-based gas turbine cycles. This paper summarizes the Westinghouse hot gas filter concept and reports on recent in-house and field test programs supporting its design and development. Basic materials issues related to ceramic material stability and hot metals structures are reviewed. Results of recent filter system testing are presented, comparing candle and crossflow designs operating in both “simulated” and actual coal-derived gas streams. Laboratory tests and analysis are reported relating to integrating sulfur and alkali control with the particle filter function.
A new signal detection method with two slice levels (1987)

A new signal detection method has been develeped. The method can detect signals more accurately than the conventional method, even for distorted waveforms due to noise and media defects. Signals are detected by means of two slice levels that check the amplitude and polarity of reproduced waveform peaks. Experimental results show that this new method is effective for increasing the level margins.
Ab initio and density-functional theory study of zeolite-catalyzed hydrocarbon reactions: hydride transfer, alkylation and disproportionation (2000)

The mechanism of some zeolite-catalyzed reactions of hydrocarbons involving the (C2H5–H–C2H5)+ carbonium ion as a reaction intermediate has been theoretically investigated by means of the ab initio correlated second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory and the density-functional B3PW91 methods. It has been found that while in the homogeneous phase the mechanism of the acid-catalyzed hydride transfer, alkylation, dehydrogenation and disproportionation reactions can be explained in terms of different intramolecular rearrangements of a common intermediate, over a zeolite only those carbonium ions in which the positive charge is delocalized and sterically inaccessible to framework oxygens can exist as reaction intermediates, and the transformations they undergo are completely different from those occurring in homogeneous phase. In particular, any transformation leading to a localized charge distribution results in a transfer of an H atom to the catalyst surface and therefore on a neutral molecule adsorbed on the Brønsted acid site as the reaction intermediate.
Automotive radar for adaptive cruise control and collision warning/avoidance (1997)

This paper discusses the application for autonomous intelligent cruise control (AICC), also called adaptive cruise control (ACC). Tests have however, also indicated the radar's capability for the much more demanding application: collision warning/avoidance (CW/A). CelsiusTech Electronics (CTE) has a long experience in millimetre wave radar, which was used for initial testing within the Swedish car industry of a fully automatic ACC. The results of the tests were very gratifying and CTE is now in the process of full scale development, engineering, and preparations for large scale production, e.g. the design of ASICs. As an interim, a number of second generation prototypes called X-models, are now being manufactured.
The potential of nanofibers and nanobiocides in water purification (2010)

Electrospun nanofibers and nanobiocides show potential in the improvement of water filtration membranes. Biofouling of membranes caused by the bacterial load in water reduces the quality of drinking water and has become a major problem. Several studies showed inhibition of these bacteria after exposure to nanofibers with functionalized surfaces. Nanobiocides such as metal nanoparticles and engineered nanomaterials are successfully incorporated into nanofibers showing high antimicrobial activity and stability in water. Research on the applications of nanofibers and nanobiocides in water purification, the fabrication thereof and recently published patents are reviewed in this article.

Extraction methods of microorganisms from phyllosphere (2006)

The extraction methods of microorganisms from the bean's leaves were investigated and the efficiency of different methods was compared.Results showed that different extraction methods and solvents led to quite different results.By ultrasonic cleaner method,the number of microorganisms increased to a maximum with the time prolonging and then decrease,the most effective treatment time is about four minates.There are no significant difference between sterile water and phosphate buffer.Comparing with ultrasonic cleaner method,extraction efficiency of homogenate method was much higher.The maximum yield of the former was about(7.67)×(10~6 cfu/g) fresh leaves while the latter was up to(1.12)×(10~7 cfu/g).The optimal weight of the leaves sample was four to five g.Leaf age influenced the abundance of microbial population significantly,but the leaf age of a sample for a specific purpose still depends on the other factors.

Quality‐of‐life assessment in Chinese families with food‐allergic children (2009)

FAQL-PB is a robust measure of AFR-specific parental QoL, which is impaired in Chinese children with parent-reported AFR. Flexural dermatitis, current food avoidance and AFR caused by multiple foods are independent risk factors for lower parental QoL.
Implantation profile of low-energy positrons in solids (1990)

A simple form for an implantation profile of monoenergetic, low-energy (1–10 keV) positrons in solids is presented. Materials studied include aluminum, copper, molybdenum, palladium, and gold with atomic number ranging from 13 to 79. A simple set of parameters can describe the currently used Makhov profile in slow positron studies of solids. We provide curves and tables for the parameters that can be used to describe the implantation profiles of positrons in any material with atomic number in between 13 and 79.

Meiotic expression of human ornithine transcarbamylase in the testes of transgenic mice. (1988)

In an attempt to use mouse metallothionein-I (mMT-I) regulatory sequences to direct expression of human ornithine transcarbamylase in the liver of transgenic animals, fusion genes joining either 1.6 kilobases or 185 base pairs of the mMT-I regulatory region to the human ornithine transcarbamylase protein-coding sequence were used to produce transgenic mice. In mice carrying the fusion gene with 1.6 kilobases of the mMT-I 5'-flanking sequences, transgene expression was observed in a wide range of tissues, but, unexpectedly, expression in liver was never observed. Surprisingly, in mice carrying the fusion gene regulated by only 185 base pairs of the mMT-I 5'-flanking sequences, the transgene was expressed exclusively in male germ cells during the tetraploid, pachytene stage of meiosis.
