Birefractive stereo imaging for single-shot depth acquisition (2016)

We propose a novel birefractive depth acquisition method, which allows for single-shot depth imaging by just placing a birefringent material in front of the lens. While most transmissive materials present a single refractive index per wavelength, birefringent crystals like calcite posses two, resulting in a double refraction effect. We develop an imaging model that leverages this phenomenon and the information contained in the ordinary and the extraordinary refracted rays, providing an effective formulation of the geometric relationship between scene depth and double refraction. To handle the inherent ambiguity of having two sources of information overlapped in a single image, we define and combine two different cost volume functions. We additionally present a novel calibration technique for birefringence, carefully analyze and validate our model, and demonstrate the usefulness of our approach with several image-editing applications.
AMI signal format for pattern-independent FSK heterodyne transmission and two channel crosstalk measurements (1988)

Presents a single filter FSK heterodyne 150Mbit/s transmission experiment where the AMI (alternate-mark-inversion) signal format was used to overcome the nonuniform FM response of the transmitter laser. With 2GHz electrical frequency spacing between two modulated signal channels no sensitivity penalty was observed.

Nonuniform cache architectures for wire-delay dominated on-chip caches (2003)

Nonuniform cache access designs solve the on-chip wire delay problem for future large integrated caches. By embedding a network in the cache, NUCA designs let data migrate within the cache, clustering the working set nearest the processor. The authors propose several designs that treat the cache as a network of banks and facilitate nonuniform accesses to different physical regions. NUCA architectures offer low-latency access, increased scalability, and greater performance stability than conventional uniform access cache architectures.
Implementation of BIM/RFID in computer-aided design-manufacturing-installation process (2010)

In this paper, the authors discussed in detail about the framework of integrating Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) with Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies. The proposed framework can be used in the computer-aided design, manufacturing, engineering, and installation processes. In specific, this paper explained how to use RFID technology for structural steel components, such as a steel beam or column. The paper discussed the framework of the decision support system to transmit data read from RFID, retrieve the requested information, integrate the information in analysis process, and update the BIM project model when a decision is reached. The suggested result would have great potential of saving installation time, decrease cost, improve safety record, or achieve better quality in the end of the construction process.
EFFECTS OF 8‐METHOXYPSORALEN‐INDUCED PHOTOTOXIC EFFECTS ON MAMMALIAN EPIDERMAL MACROMOLECULE SYNTHESIS <i>IN VIVO</i> (1975)

Abstract— The influence of 8‐methoxypsoralen (8‐MOP) and ultraviolet (UVA; 315–400 nm) radiation‐induced phototoxic responses on DNA, RNA and protein synthesis and the DNA repair phenomenon were investigated utilizing the hairless mouse epidermis in vivo . The radioactive tracers TdR‐ 3 H, cytidine‐ 3 H and histidine‐ 3 H were used to examine changes in these macromolecules. Using these techniques, we found that the 8‐MOP‐UVA phototoxic injury inhibited premitotic semiconservative DNA synthesis in the germanitive layer of the epidermis within the first few hours post‐irradiation. Recovery occurred by 24 h, followed by a progressive acceleration of this function over the next 7 days. No depression in RNA or protein formation was noted through 36 h. By 48 h the cells in the upper 1/2 to 1/3 of the epidermis lost their normal appearance and discontinued synthesizing these macromolecules. At 72 h RNA and protein synthesis was again active throughout the epidermis and the apparently dead cells had desquamated. At this time the epidermis was notably acanthotic and the epidermal cells were markedly enlarged. Examination for the dark repair response revealed no evidence of unscheduled DNA synthesis following irradiation indicating that the excision repair process was not demonstrable within the first 15min after the phototoxic injury. These responses differ in a number of parameters from the phototoxic reactions induced by UV rays shorter than 320 nm.
Vision Testing in the Evaluation of Concussion (2016)

Traumatic brain injury results from an acute impact to the head causing brain dysfunction. Concussion is a form of mild traumatic brain injury. There are significant short- and long-term sequelae of concussion, and early diagnosis and management are key to recovery. Visual system symptoms and signs are common following concussion and have been shown to be a useful feature of concussion testing. Neuro-ophthalmic findings include abnormalities in the pupillary light reflex, accommodation, convergence, extraocular motility, steroacuity, as well as pursuit and saccades. Concussion generally occurs out of the medical setting, and access to a trained examiner or equipment to assist in diagnosis is limited. For this reason, much research is focused on developing a concussion test that is practical and reliable, and technology is likely to play an important role in this. Ultimately, no single test is a substitute for clinical judgment and multifaceted testing.
Optimization of Wireless Sensor Network Lifetime by Deploying Relay Sensors (2012)

Topology control in wireless sensor networks helps to lower node energy consumption by reducing transmission power and by confining interference, collisions and consequently retransmissions. Decrease in node energy consumption implies probability of increasing network lifetime. In this paper, firs popular topology control algorithms are used for analyzing optimizing the power consumption in the wireless sensor network and later proposed a novel technique wherein power consumption is traded with additional relay nodes. Later relay nodes are introduced to make the network connected without increasing the transmit power. The relay node decreases the transmit power required while it may increase end-to-end delay. This paper designs and analyzes an algorithm that place an almost minimum number of relay nodes required to make network connected. Greedy version of this algorithm is implemented and demonstrated in simulation that it produces a high quality link. InterAvg, InterMax (no of nodes that can offer interference) MinMax, and MinTotal are used as metrics to analyze and compare various algorithms. Matlab and NS-2 are used for simulation purpose.
Fast ray tracing for microcellular and indoor environments (1997)

We present a very efficient algorithm which calculates deterministically the path losses, delay profiles and other characteristics of a mobile channel. The algorithm can be used both for indoor and outdoor environments. We apply the technique of tracing rays and compute reflections, transmissions and diffractions with the help of geometrical optics, heuristical approximations and the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD).
Toroidal stellarator diode: discharge features and electron transport (2006)

The radial dependences of the emission current I em of a small thermionic emitter at different anode voltages, as well as the current–voltage characteristics (CVCs) and the dependence of I em on the magnetic field B were measured to investigate the relationship between the electron transport and the E×B electric and magnetic fields in the toroidal stellarator diode system in stellarator-type magnetic traps (Uragan-3M and Uragan-2M torsatrons). It is demonstrated that the electron transport in the discharge is controlled to a large measure by an applied radial electric field, while the current jump (nonlinear dynamic behaviour) in the discharge is due to the attainment of the critical value by the radial electric field and to the occurrence of the ionization process. A phenomenological description of the CVCs showing a hysteresis behaviour is presented. A large variety of electron transport scalings (I em– B dependences) were obtained in two different torsatrons.

Worldwide distribution of common <i>IDUA</i> pathogenic variants (2018)

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a rare disorder caused by deleterious sequence variants in the α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) gene. More than 200 pathogenic variants have been described so far, but their frequencies have not yet been analyzed on a worldwide scale. To address this, we analyzed the genotypes of MPS I patients from 35 published studies papers. The most common pathogenic variant observed was p.Trp402Ter. With frequencies of up to 63%, it was the major allele in most European countries, America and Australia. The variant p.Gln70Ter was also frequent; it was found mainly in Northern and Eastern Europe. The most frequent variant in North African countries was p.Pro533Arg; in Morocco, it represented more than 90% of mutant alleles. Variants observed in East Asians were not found in Western populations, including c.1190-1G>A, p.Ala79Val, p.Leu346Arg and c.613_617dupTGCTC. Conversely, p.Trp402Ter and p.Pro533Arg were not found in patients from East Asia. In conclusion, the most common pathogenic IDUA variant in MPS I patients are p.Trp402Ter, p.Gln70Ter and p.Pro533Arg. Knowledge about the genetic background of MPS I for each population is essential when developing new genotype-targeted therapies, as well as to enable faster genetic analysis and improve patient management.
Biodegradable Foam Plastics Based on Castor Oil (2007)

In this work, a simple but effective approach was proposed for preparing biodegradable plastic foams with a high content of castor oil. First of all, castor oil reacted with maleic anhydride to produce maleated castor oil (MACO) without the aid of any catalyst. Then plastic foams were synthesized through free radical initiated copolymerization between MACO and diluent monomer styrene. With changes in MACO/St ratio and species of curing initiator, mechanical properties of MACO foams can be easily adjusted. In this way, biofoams with comparable compressive stress at 25% strain as commercial polyurethane (PU) foams were prepared, while the content of castor oil can be as high as 61 wt %. The soil burial tests further proved that the castor oil based foams kept the biodegradability of renewable resources despite the fact that some petrol-based components were introduced.
Mobile service provision system based on sensor and SIP event notification mechanism (2005)

As the user's need to take a mobile service while roaming around increases, many solutions are needed to figure out the user's current location and service information and prepare subscribed mobile service without user's intervention. We propose a mobile service provision system, which is based on sensor and SIP-specific event notification mechanism. In this system, dynamically subscribed service terminal is selected and used to provide mobile service to a roaming user by a sensor-equipped user agent which is also interworking with 3GPP IMS for getting extended user profile stored in HSS. And this user profile, capability report and command script which are used in our system are all XML-based documents, so these can also be easily modified and applied to any other services.
The role of post-transcriptional regulation in chemokine gene expression in inflammation and allergy (2005)

The aim of this review is to discuss recent advances in the understanding of the regulation of chemokine expression occurring during chronic inflammatory conditions, such as allergic diseases. The focus will be on current data, which suggest that post-transcriptional regulation plays a larger role in chemokine gene regulation than previously recognised. In particular, a growing body of data indicates that mechanisms controlling mRNA stability may be relevant in determining, or maintaining, the increased levels of chemokine gene expression in this context. Such regulatory pathways may be important targets of novel anti-inflammatory strategies.

In Situ Quartz Crystal Microbalance and Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry Studies of Atomic Layer Deposition of Aluminum Oxide from Trimethylaluminum and Water (2001)

Reaction mechanisms in the atomic layer deposition of Al2O3 from Al(CH3)3 and water were studied with a quartz crystal microbalance at 150−350 °C and with a quadrupole mass spectrometer at 150−400 °C. The growth rate was the highest at 250 °C. At lower temperatures the growth was limited due to kinetic reasons and at higher temperatures due to lower amount of surface −OH groups. About half of the ligands were released during the Al(CH3)3 pulse and the other half during the water pulse. The reaction temperature had no marked effect on the growth mechanisms, in the temperature range studied.
Transcriptional Activation by Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor γ Is Inhibited by Phosphorylation at a Consensus Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Site (1997)

The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) regulates transcription in response to prostanoid and thiazolidinedione ligands and promotes adipocyte differentiation. The amino-terminal A/B domain of this receptor contains a consensus mitogen-activated protein kinase site in a region common to PPARgamma1 and -gamma2 isoforms. The A/B domain of human PPARgamma1 was phosphorylated in vivo, and this was abolished either by mutation of serine 84 to alanine (S84A) or coexpression of a phosphoprotein phosphatase. In vitro, this domain was phosphorylated by ERK2 and JNK, and this was markedly reduced in the S84A mutant. A wild type Gal4-PPARgamma(A/B) chimera exhibited weak constitutive transcriptional activity. Remarkably, this was significantly enhanced in the S84A mutant fusion. Ligand-dependent activation by full-length mouse PPARgamma2 was also augmented by mutation of the homologous serine in the A/B domain to alanine. The nonphosphorylatable form of PPARgamma was also more adipogenic. Thus, phosphorylation of a mitogen-activated protein kinase site in the A/B region of PPARgamma inhibits both ligand-independent and ligand-dependent transactivation functions. This observation provides a potential mechanism whereby transcriptional activation by PPARgamma may be modulated by growth factor or cytokine-stimulated signal transduction pathways involved in adipogenesis.
Syntheses of reactive fluorescent stains derived from 5(2)‐aryl‐2(5)‐(4‐pyridyl)oxazoles and bifunctionally reactive linkers (1994)

Abstract Several bifunctionally reactive linkers containing halide or sulfonate ester groups were prepared. The linkers were used to quaternize 5‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐2‐(4‐pyridyl)oxazole and 2‐(6‐chromanyl)‐5‐(4‐pyridyl)oxazole to produce fluorescent stains that contained a reactive group such as an isothiocyanate, an N ‐hydroxysuccinimidyl ester, a maleimide, or an oxirane. The stains were derivatized with either 1‐propylamine, 1‐propanethiol, or piperidine, as appropriate, to help in characterization. The stains may serve as more photostable alternatives to fluoresceins or coumarins.
Industry models for enterprise data management in financial markets (2010)

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> The subprime credit crisis of 2007 and the ensuing liquidity crisis in global financial markets highlighted weaknesses in the risk management processes and the information technology infrastructure of many financial market organizations. There are various dimensions to this, but underpinning many of the issues that have arisen is a failure to manage critical data pertaining to financial instruments, counterparties, and liquidity in an integrated and readily accessible fashion. To address this, various industry bodies, vendors, and financial institutions have considered the adoption of industry data models and classification standards for financial instruments and other business entities. In this paper, we describe the industry models that IBM has developed for the financial market industry for this purpose. We illustrate how these models can be used to successfully underpin an enterprise data management (EDM) infrastructure in a financial market organization, thereby addressing some of the key issues arising from the crisis as they pertain to the integrity and management of critical enterprise data. We draw comparisons to related EDM technologies and to the data standardization efforts of the EDM Council, a leading industry body for the financial market industry. </para>
Computational vision (1981)

Research is beginning to uncover fundamental computational principles underlying vision that apply equally to artificial and natural systems. These principles provide insights into the limitations of early machine vision systems and lay a foundation for building future systems capable of high performance in a broad range of visual domains. We present this emerging computational view of visual perception, discuss some early work in the field in its context, and put forward current thoughts on the overall organization and operation of a general-purpose computer vision system, synthesizing recent theoretical and experimental results.
