Ubik (2014)

Chip-multiprocessors (CMPs) must often execute workload mixes with different performance requirements. On one hand, user-facing, latency-critical applications (e.g., web search) need low tail (i.e., worst-case) latencies, often in the millisecond range, and have inherently low utilization. On the other hand, compute-intensive batch applications (e.g., MapReduce) only need high long-term average performance. In current CMPs, latency-critical and batch applications cannot run concurrently due to interference on shared resources. Unfortunately, prior work on quality of service (QoS) in CMPs has focused on guaranteeing average performance, not tail latency. In this work, we analyze several latency-critical workloads, and show that guaranteeing average performance is insufficient to maintain low tail latency, because microarchitectural resources with state, such as caches or cores, exert inertia on instantaneous workload performance. Last-level caches impart the highest inertia, as workloads take tens of milliseconds to warm them up. When left unmanaged, or when managed with conventional QoS frameworks, shared last-level caches degrade tail latency significantly. Instead, we propose Ubik, a dynamic partitioning technique that predicts and exploits the transient behavior of latency-critical workloads to maintain their tail latency while maximizing the cache space available to batch applications. Using extensive simulations, we show that, while conventional QoS frameworks degrade tail latency by up to 2.3x, Ubik simultaneously maintains the tail latency of latency-critical workloads and significantly improves the performance of batch applications.

Global routing considerations in a cell synthesis system (1990)

Cell synthesis is the process of turning a netlist into an efficient layout without being restricted to a library of predesigned cells or a fixed floorplan. Normally, this job is broken into at least three parts: placement, routing, and detailed cell generation. Each of these tasks are often divided further into a global and a detailed phase. This paper presents cell synthesis system called Sea Of Devices (SOD), with emphasis on its routing phase. In particular, SOD uses a new model for the global routing problem. This model is based on traditional Steiner trees, but includes detailed geometric information specific to the cell synthesis problem. The system models diffusion strips, congestion and existing feedthru's as a cost function associated with regions on the routing plane. A sequence of algorithms based on spanning trees, Steiner trees, maze routing and channel routing techniques is used to find solutions that make use of this detailed knowledge. The presentation includes some discussion of the algorithms that tie the routing phases together and illustrates the underlying support structures, which are needed for efficient access. Examples from the Physical Design Workshop 89 [PDW89] are included.

Preoperative serum inhibin levels in women with ovarian tumors are useful in the prediction of malignancy especially when combined with sonography.
Purification and Structural Characterization of 3-Hydroxypropionaldehyde and Its Derivatives (2003)

The compound 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA), together with HPA hydrate and HPA dimer, in aqueous solution forms a system with interesting chemical properties. Therefore, 3-HPA has attracted attention by the chemical industry for use as a precursor in the production of plastics, acrylic acid, and 1,3-propanediol and by the food industry, in using 3-HPA-producing Lactobacillus reuteri as a probiotic. To produce 3-HPA in high yield from glycerol, L. reuteri was used as a biotransformation system. A convenient chromatographic purification method was developed, and purified 3-HPA was analyzed using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and (13)C NMR. Quantitative (13)C NMR revealed a concentration-dependent distribution of the three compounds forming the HPA system. At concentrations above 1.4 M, the HPA dimer was predominant. However, at concentrations relevant for biological systems, HPA hydrate was the most abundant, followed by the aldehyde form. Our results indicate that the dimeric form with expected antibiotic properties should not be the active form.
The Los-Angeles Automated Traffic Surveillance and Control (ATSAC) System (1991)

The Los Angeles Automated Traffic Surveillance and Control (ATSAC) System is described, emphasizing those features that provide a powerful and flexible capability to manage traffic. Many traffic detectors are used to collect data used for critical intersection control, traffic responsive control in networks, real-time surveillance of traffic conditions using color-graphic monitors, real-time evaluation of system performance, and automated generation of traffic signal timing plans. Closed-circuit television is used to provide additional information regarding the cause of congestion. Manual control of intersections from the control center is used to correct nonrecurring congestion. The hierarchical system architecture consists of a very fast supervisor computer networked with the control console, color-graphic monitors, and area computers that communicate with up to 400 intersections and 1600 detectors each. An evaluation of system performance concluded that stops were reduced by 35%, intersection delay by 20%, travel time by 13%, fuel consumption by 12.5%, and air emissions by 10%. The benefit/cost was 9.8:1, and the system paid for itself in less than one year.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Automatic recognition of speakers² age and gender on the basis of empirical studies (2006)

This paper describes a system that exploits the paralinguistic information in the speech to estimate the speakers’ age and gender. Compared with previously published work, the so called AGENDER approach involves finer grained speaker classes and achieves a significantly higher classification accuracy. The introduction encompasses various application examples representing the actual AGENDER project context. Then hypotheses, method and a representative selection of results from extensive corpus analyses are presented, that build the empirical basis for the machine learning. Finally, the AGENDER approach on speaker classification is outlined, involving the comparison of different classification methods as well as evaluation results. The paper finishes with an outlook on extensions that are scheduled for the next project phase.
Multi-dimensional keyword-based image annotation and search (2010)

Effective keyword search on image databases is a major open problem, due to the inherent imprecision of keywords (tags) used to describe images' content. In this paper we present a novel approach to deal with this problem, as implemented in the Scenique image retrieval and browsing system. Scenique is based on a multi-dimensional model, where each dimension is a tree-structured taxonomy of concepts, also called semantic tags, that are used to describe the content of images. We first describe an original algorithm, called Ostia (Optimal Semantic Tags for Image Annotation), that, by exploiting low-level visual features, tags, and metadata associated to an image, is able to predict a high-quality set of semantic tags for that image. Then, we describe how semantic tags can be effectively used for the purpose of improving the precision of keyword search.
Natural History of Kidney Graft Survival, Hypertrophy, and Vascular Function in End-Stage Renal Disease Type 1 Diabetic Kidney-Transplanted Patients (2005)

In ESRD type 1 diabetic patients, KP and KI-s compared with KD resulted in enhanced kidney graft survival, hypertrophy, and vascular function.
High-resolution <i>in situ</i> hybridization using DNA halo preparations (1992)

To improve DNA resolution of fluorescence in situ hybridization we have adapted a nuclear extraction technique, resulting in highly extended DNA loops arranged around the nuclear matrix in a halo-like structure. In situ hybridization signals from alphoid and cosmid DNAs appear as beads-on-a-string, which, according to preliminary experiments, results from the association of individual probe fragments. By multicolor hybridizations we have been able to determine relative map position and to easily detect 10 kb overlap between individual cosmid clones, each of which shows linear beaded signals of ca. 10 microns, suggesting that the DNA is essentially linearized in our protocol. The map configuration can be typically derived from analysis of 5-10 cells only. The resolution range of the technique is at least 10-200 kb, and probably as little as a few kb, thus greatly extending the abilities of the existing FISH methodologies. This novel technique is much more efficient and practicable than pronuclei hybridizations, another method for high resolution FISH, and readily produces results with probes of a variety of genomic origin. In conclusion the DNA halo technique should be able to contribute significantly to the assessment of cosmid and YAC overlaps as well as to the sizing of gaps between adjacent contigs generated in genome projects.
Non-oral contraception (2011)

Oral contraceptives are not appropriate for all women and their efficacy is hindered by many factors, including adverse effects and patient compliance. In the past, the oral route was the most popular method for contraception. Today, the routes and methods of contraception are varied, ranging from hormonal and non-hormonal options to surgical procedures and over-the-counter products. Increased efficacy of all forms can be obtained through patient education; thus, the primary care physician should be knowledgeable on all available methods.
Comparative translucency of esthetic composite resin restorative materials. (2010)

The various categories of composite from different manufacturers yielded a wide range of translucency, with minimal distinction between the extremes in adjacent categories. The measured translucency values provided more information than the respective category types. Knowledge of the relative translucency and opacity of different commercial materials can assist clinicians in the choice of composite for clinical use.
Elliptically polarized leaky-wave array (1962)

This paper describes the application of Bethe's small-aperture theory and leaky-wave antenna theory to the design of planar arrays of rectangular waveguides radiating through small apertures arranged periodically in their broad walls. Such arrays can be designed to have any polarization, including circular, by suitable selection of the shape and orientation of the small apertures. These arrays have narrow beamwidths, and scan with frequency in a plane normal to the broad walls of the waveguides. A circularly polarized array at <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">X</tex> -band was designed, and a single-wavegnide section of it was built to test the practicality of the design.
Remarkable synergy between microwave heating and the addition of seed crystals in zeolite synthesis—a suggestion verified (1998)

A recent suggestion that there can be a nucleation-related bottleneck in microwave zeolite synthesis has been verified: ZSM-5 has been synthesised very rapidly in seeded systems with and without an organic template.
RSSI-Based Localization Schemes for Wireless Sensor Networks Using Outlier Detection (2021)

The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of RF signals is a cost-effective solution for distance estimation, which makes it a practical choice for localization schemes in wireless sensor networks (WSN). However, RF propagation channels in most WSN deployment environments, including dense cities and natural habitats, are commonly affected by shadowing due to obstructions caused by natural and man-made obstacles. RF signal attenuation from shadowing introduces uncharacteristically high errors in RSSI-based distance estimates, which result in large errors in RSSI-based localization schemes. This paper proposes the use of outlier detection methods for removing the effect of such disproportionately erroneous distance estimates in location estimation using RSSI. Three different localization schemes are proposed that apply outlier detection to effectively reduce localization errors in shadowed environments. Performance results of the proposed schemes are obtained using computer simulations and experimental tests.
Inhibition of Tumor Growth and Metastasis in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer by LY2801653, an Inhibitor of Several Oncokinases, Including MET (2013)

Collectively, these results support clinical evaluation of LY2801653 in NSCLCs and suggest that differences in the MET activation of tumors may be predictive of response.
2-[(E)-3-(6-chloroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-5-yl)prop-2-enyl]-5,6-dimethoxy-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone: a new inhibitor of NADH dehydrogenase with antitumor activity (2004)

In this work we describe the synthesis and the biological activity of 2-[(E)-3-(6chloroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-5-yl)prop-2-enyl]-5,6-dimethoxy-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone i.e. an imidazothiazole derivative connected to the benzoquinone ring of Q 0 . This compound was tested as specific inhibitor of the NADH:ubiquinone (UBQ) reductase activity of NADH dehydrogenase in mitochondrial membranes. Binding of the imidazothiazole moiety to the quinone site normally occupied by the isoprenoid lateral side chain increases the inhibitory effect (with an IC 50 for NADH-Q 1 activity of 0.24 M) whereas the benzoquinone moiety seems to lose the capability as electron acceptor from Complex I. The new compound was also tested as potential antitumor agent at the National Cancer Institute.
Strain Rate Induced Amorphization in Metallic Nanowires (1999)

Using molecular dynamics simulations with a many-body force field, we studied the deformation of single crystal Ni and NiCu random alloy nanowires subjected to uniform strain rates but kept at 300 K. For all strain rates, the Ni nanowire is elastic up to $7.5%$ strain with a yield stress of 5.5 GPa, far above that of bulk Ni. At high strain rates, we find that for both systems the crystalline phase transforms continuously to an amorphous phase, exhibiting a dramatic change in atomic short-range order and a near vanishing of the tetragonal shear elastic constant perpendicular to the tensile direction. This amorphization which occurs directly from the homogeneous, elastically deformed system with no chemical or structural inhomogeneities exhibits a new mode of amorphization.
Decoupling of Airborne Dynamic Bending Deformation Angle and Its Application in the High-Accuracy Transfer Alignment Process (2019)

In the traditional airborne distributed position and orientation system (DPOS) transfer alignment process, the coupling angle between the dynamic deformation and body angular motion is not estimated or compensated, which causes the process to have low precision and long convergence time. To achieve high-precision transfer alignment, a decoupling method for the airborne dynamic deformation angle is proposed in this paper. The model of the coupling angle is established through mathematical derivation. Then, taking the coupling angle into consideration, angular velocity error and velocity error between the master INS and slave IMU are corrected. Based on this, a novel 27-state Kalman filter model is established. Simulation results demonstrate that, compared with the traditional transfer alignment model, the model proposed in this paper has faster convergence time and higher accuracy.

Limits of backplane bus design (2003)

The author examines the fundamental design parameters of backbone interconnection including: architecture, synchronization, bus width, protocols, arbitration, and the transmission medium. The theoretical limits to the bus performance are examined along with type of system and information-flow organization that can allow effective utilization of the available bandwidth. The two technology-dependent parameters which dominate the performance of the theoretically highest performance source synchronized protocols are the manufacturing skews, and capture windows of the communicating devices. This suggests that there is considerable scope in the technology to improve the bandwidth available in backplane buses.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Erosive tooth wear among children in the United States: relationship to race/ethnicity and obesity (2009)

Substantial proportions of children in the US are affected by ETW. Compared to whites, African American children had significantly lower rates of ETW. Although not significant, 'overweight' (obese) children had increased odds of having ETW and those at 'risk for overweight' had lower odds compared to 'healthy weight' children.
Adenosine receptors in fat cells. Identification by (-)-N6-[3H]phenylisopropyladenosine binding. (1981)

The binding of (-)- N 6 -[ 3 H]phenylisopropyladenosine to its receptor sites was investigated in plasma membranes of rat fat cells. The binding was rapid, reversible, stereospecific, saturable, and dependent on protein concentration, pH, and temperature. Pretreatment of fat cell membranes with adenosine deaminase resulted in a 3 to 4-fold increase in specific binding. The specific binding was of high affinity with an equilibrium dissociation constant ( K D ) of 6.1 nM and was saturable with 1.9 pmoles of (-)- N 6 -[ 3 H]phenylisopropyladenosine per milligram of protein. Rate constants of association and dissociation were k 1 1.95 x 10 7 M -1 min -1 and k 2 = 0.040 min -1 , respectively. In competition experiments the (-)-isomer of N 6 -phenylisopropyladenosine was 11-fold more potent than the (+)-isomer in competing for the binding sites. Specific binding was most effectively displaced by the following purine-modifled adenosine derivatives which have been classified as R site adenosine agonists: (-)- N 6 -phenylisopropyladenosine monophosphate, N 6 -isobutyladenosine, N 6 -cyclohexyladenosine, 2-chloroadenosine, 2-fluoroadenosine, N 6 -phenyladenosine, and N 6 -benzyladenosine, with IC 50 values ranging from 17 to 139 nM. The ribose-modified adenosine derivatives 39-deoxyadenosine, 29,59-dideoxyadenosine, and 29-deoxyadenosine, which have been classified as P site adenosine agonists, showed IC 50 values ranging from 9.7 to 78 µM. Similar IC 50 values were obtained by several 59-phosphorylated adenosine derivatives. Pharmacologically inactive compounds such as inosine, hypoxanthine, and adenine did not substantially inhibit binding at concentrations up to 100 µM. The methylxanthines isobutylmethylxanthine (IC 50 55 µM), theophylline (IC 50 61 µM), and caffeine (IC 50 150 µM), which have been classified as antagonists for R site adenosine receptors, competed for the binding sites of (-)- N 6 -[ 3 H]phenylisopropyladenosine in a manner which parallels their known pharmacological activity in fat cells. Specific binding was not displaced by other phosphodiesterase inhibitors (papaverine or Ro 20-1724), and not by dipyridamole or nicotinic acid. Our results indicate that rat fat cells have adenosine receptors which are labeled by (-)- N 6 -[ 3 H]phenylisopropyladenosine. On the basis of the order of affinity of agonists and antagonists they appear identical with the R site adenosine receptors which mediate the inhibitory effects of adenosine on cyclic AMP formation and lipolysis in fat cells.
A Value-Added Predictive Defect Type Distribution Model Based on Project Characteristics (2008)

In software project management, there are three major factors to predict and control; size, effort, and quality. Much software engineering work has focused on these. When it comes to software quality, there are various possible quality characteristics of software, but in practice, quality management frequently revolves around defects, and delivered defect density has become the current de facto industry standard. Thus, research related to software quality has been focused on modeling residual defects in software in order to estimate software reliability. Currently, software engineering literature still does not have a complete defect prediction for a software product although much work has been performed to predict software quality. On the other side, the number of defects alone cannot be sufficient information to provide the basis for planning quality assurance activities and assessing them during execution. That is, for project management to be improved, we need to predict other possible information about software quality such as in-process defects, their types, and so on. In this paper, we propose a new approach for predicting the distribution of defects and their types based on project characteristics in the early phase. For this approach, the model for prediction was established using the curve-fitting method and regression analysis. The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) was used in fitting the Weibull probability density function to the actual defect data, and regression analysis was used in identifying the relationship between the project characteristics and the Weibull parameters. The research model was validated by cross-validation.
