Acute Renal Failure in the Medical Intensive Care Unit: Predisposing, Complicating Factors and Outcome (1991)

The factors predisposing to and complicating acute renal failure (ARF) in the medical intensive care unit (ICU), and their relative influence on outcome during ARF are unclear. We retrospectively evaluated the relative importance of age, prior chronic disease (including chronic renal failure), sepsis and organ system failure, for development and outcome of ARF in the medical ICU. Of 487 consecutively admitted patients, 78 (16%) had ARF, in 63% treated with renal replacement therapy. Mortality was 63%. Independently from each other, advancing age, prior chronic disease, and cardiovascular and pulmonary failure directly related to the development of ARF, while neurological failure related inversely. Sepsis only contributed to ARF prediction from these variables if cardiopulmonary failure was excluded. Advancing age, cardiovascular failure before and after onset of ARF, pulmonary failure before ARF and use of renal replacement therapy were the major independent factors directly related to ARF mortality, while prior chronic renal failure related inversely and sepsis did not contribute. Hence, the outcome of ARF in a medical ICU is largely dependent on factors predisposing to ARF, even though the severity and complications of ARF may partly contribute. Our results may help in deciding on the prevention and therapy of ARF in a medical ICU.
Using a Matlab Implemented Algorithm for UV-vis spectral Resolution for pk<sub>a</sub> Determination and Multicomponent Analysis (2009)

A Matlab implemented computer code for spectral resolution is presented. The code enables the user to resolve the UV-visible absorption spectrum of a mixture of up to 3 previously known components, to the individual components, thus, evaluating their quantities. The resolving procedure is based on searching the combination of the components which yields the spectrum which is the most similar (minimal RMSE) to the measured spectrum of the mixture. Examples of using the software for pK(a) value estimation and multicomponent analysis are presented and other implementations are suggested.
Spurious mode suppression in SH0 Lithium Niobate laterally vibrating MEMS resonators (2015)

This paper reports on the development of a spurious mode suppression technique for shear horizontal (SH0) mode Lithium Niobate (LiNbO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> ) laterally vibrating MEMS resonators.

Salience Estimation via Variational Auto-Encoders for Multi-Document Summarization (2017)

We propose a new unsupervised sentence salience framework for Multi-Document Summarization (MDS), which can be divided into two components: latent semantic modeling and salience estimation. For latent semantic modeling, a neural generative model called Variational Auto-Encoders (VAEs) is employed to describe the observed sentences and the corresponding latent semantic representations. Neural variational inference is used for the posterior inference of the latent variables. For salience estimation, we propose an unsupervised data reconstruction framework, which jointly considers the reconstruction for latent semantic space and observed term vector space. Therefore, we can capture the salience of sentences from these two different and complementary vector spaces. Thereafter, the VAEs-based latent semantic model is integrated into the sentence salience estimation component in a unified fashion, and the whole framework can be trained jointly by back-propagation via multi-task learning. Experimental results on the benchmark datasets DUC and TAC show that our framework achieves better performance than the state-of-the-art models.
Numerical research of dynamics of stream in the stationary plasma thruster channel of a variable section (1998)

The outcomes of numerical research of influence of the change of geometry of SPT digit channel on dynamics of a plasma flow and on the main output integral parameters of a thruster are represented in the paper. It's shown that the extension of a channel in the output part results in decreasing a flow of high -energy ions on walls in an output part of a channel and improving the integral characteristics of a thruster: a force of a thruster and its life time. It's shown the change of geometry of a digit channel by its extension in the output part is one from paths of increasing a thruster life time. INTRODUCTION The spent earlier numerical simulation of current of a plasma flow in a SPT digit channel has shown that in an output part of a channel the plasma flow diverges and causes destruction of ceramic walls limiting a channel and the speed of erosion of walls decreases with current of time at the expense of decreasing a flow of ions on walls near to an output edge of the accelerator that is there where the ions have energy E ~ lOOeV which has enough for destruction of walls [1]. Life time of a thruster in many respects also is determined by durability of a digit channel. Therefore one from paths of its increase is the change of geometry of a digit channel by its extension in the output part. The purpose of this paper is the numerical research of influence of change of geometry of a digit channel on dynamics of current of a plasma flow and on output parameters of a thruster force of a thruster, life time, and also research of a capability of management of these parameters by profiling of the SPT channel walls. l.THE DESCRIPTION OF THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL considered. Density of plasma even in a zone of ionization is rather insignificant: characteristic density of charged particles nj = 10 n -510nT 10 •=• 10 density of neutral atoms g= • m [2]. In these conditions in a volume of a channel the collisions an electron atom, and electrons with walls are dominating above all other kinds of collisions [2]:
A speech direction finder (1984)

The speech direction finder described here is a relatively simple device based on an off the shelf microcomputer. It can provide the direction to a talker to within 3 degrees of azimuth angle on a single spoken syllable, will only respond to speech, and when used with Wallace linear array microphones can provide this at distances of 50 feet or more. There are numerous applications for the device which may enhance the quality of audio and video teleconferences.
Person re-identification based on saliency (2016)

Two novel salient features for person re-identification are proposed in this paper. Salient feature in image always provides valuable information for pattern recognition, therefore we seek two kinds of salient features to represent pedestrians, a Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) and a Principal Component Analysis-Scale Invariant Feature Transform (PCA-SIFT) feature are used to describe texture of person image respectively, then texture information and color histogram construct the feature space. In the feature space, salient features are detected according to the difference between person images. The effectiveness of our salient features in people re-identification is validated on the widely used GRID dataset, we get more accurate and efficiency results using SURF and PCA-SIFT based salient features.
Use of Chronic Epilepsy Models in Antiepileptic Drug Discovery: The Effect of Topiramate on Spontaneous Motor Seizures in Rats with Kainate‐induced Epilepsy (2005)

These data suggest that animal models with spontaneous seizures, such as kainate- and pilocarpine-treated rats, can be used efficiently for rapid testing of AEDs with a repeated-measures, crossover protocol. Furthermore, the results indicate that this design allows both dose-effect and time-course-of-recovery studies.

A bipolar monolithic microsystem is described which provides direct analog synthesis of all trigonometric functions and their inverses. The new technique is based on the ratio of two sines, generated by a novel sine-shaping network. The circuit offers high accuracy and 1.5 MHz bandwidth in an easily programmed 16-pin DIP.
Integrated current sensing circuit suitable for step-down dc-dc converters (2004)

A new integrated current sensing circuit suitable for step-down dc-dc converter is presented in this paper. The current sensing circuit can fully measure the inductor current through sensing the current of power switches whether the high side or low side switch is turned on. The proposed circuits can work in dc-dc converters such that the loading current can be managed through control theories.
Photocontrolled Reversible Dimensional Changes of Microstructured Photochromic Polymers (2011)

Advances in Unconventional Lithography 150 the performance of these two different type of applications, namely the microfluidic devices and the diffraction gratings. In both cases the lithographic technique used for the microstructuring of the photochromic doped plastic films is the soft molding. Concerning the microfluidics applications, the presented microstructured photochromic plastic films exhibit a significant improvement on the reversible wetting characteristics compared to those on the flat surfaces. This improvement is due to the combination of the changes in the surface polarity and thus in the wetting properties with the modified surface conformation, both provoked by the light induced changes of the photochromic molecules. Moreover, regarding the optical gratings, we present a different approach in where the control of their diffraction efficiency relies on the dimensional variations of the gratings upon laser irradiation. Following this approach, the efficiency of the gratings is significantly improved with respect to previous works. Such findings open the way for the production of optically switchable gratings based on reversible dimensional changes, and can be of great importance in all-optical signal processing systems. Moreover, the ability to control the wettability of surfaces by microstructuring and to tune it by using photochromic molecules, permits the application of these lithographically formed structures to all-optically controlled switches capable of operating with tunable speed, and to microfluidic actuation.
Global Transcriptome Analysis of the Heat Shock Response of <i>Shewanella oneidensis</i> (2004)

Shewanella oneidensis is an important model organism for bioremediation studies because of its diverse respiratory capabilities. However, the genetic basis and regulatory mechanisms underlying the ability of S. oneidensis to survive and adapt to various environmentally relevant stresses is poorly understood. To define this organism's molecular response to elevated growth temperatures, temporal gene expression profiles were examined in cells subjected to heat stress by using whole-genome DNA microarrays for S. oneidensis. Approximately 15% (n = 711) of the total predicted S. oneidensis genes (n = 4,648) represented on the microarray were significantly up- or downregulated (P < 0.05) over a 25-min period after shift to the heat shock temperature. As expected, the majority of the genes that showed homology to known chaperones and heat shock proteins in other organisms were highly induced. In addition, a number of predicted genes, including those encoding enzymes in glycolysis and the pentose cycle, serine proteases, transcriptional regulators (MerR, LysR, and TetR families), histidine kinases, and hypothetical proteins were induced. Genes encoding membrane proteins were differentially expressed, suggesting that cells possibly alter their membrane composition or structure in response to variations in growth temperature. A substantial number of the genes encoding ribosomal proteins displayed downregulated coexpression patterns in response to heat stress, as did genes encoding prophage and flagellar proteins. Finally, a putative regulatory site with high conservation to the Escherichia coli sigma32-binding consensus sequence was identified upstream of a number of heat-inducible genes.
Wireless Sensor Networks for Voice Capture in Ubiquitous Home Environments (2009)

In this paper we introduce a voice capture application using a wireless sensor network; our main contribution is the integration of a novel capture technique specifically designed for hierarchical wireless sensor networks. Furthermore, we show the challenges involved in the implementation of our experimental prototype which is oriented towards a secure ubiquitous home environment but could be extended to other similar scenarios. We performed a series of experiments on our prototype implementation, the results of those experiments showed that our approach consumes less energy than the traditional capture and send approach. Additionally, our technique provides basic security services such as authentication and confidentiality for control messages without incurring in additional energy consumption.
An Efficient Parallel Scheduling Scheme on Multi-partition PCM Architecture (2016)

Phase Change Memory (PCM) is an emerging non-volatile memory with the salient features of large-scale, high-speed, low-power and radiation resistance. It hence becomes an ideal candidate for the next-generation storage media of main memory. However, PCM suffers from inefficient I/O performance due to long write latency. Recent studies propose a multi-partition (or multi-subarray) architecture within each bank to enhance internal parallelism. However, conventional scheduling schemes fail to exploit the advantage of multiple partitions and incur inefficient bank utilization. In this paper, we propose a Write Priority overlap Read (WPoR) scheduling scheme which preferentially serves for a write request in one partition and allows other partitions to perform as many read requests as possible within this partition's program duration. Experimental results demonstrate that WPoR reduces the write latency by 24.7% (on average) compared with state-of-the-art scheduling algorithms. Meanwhile, the IPC indicator of WPoR scheduling increases respectively 6%, 7% and 26% (on average) compared with Read Priority, Write Pausing and Write Cancellation schemes.

We use a first-principles rational-design approach to identify a previously unrecognized class of ferroelectric materials in the P6(3)mc LiGaGe structure type. We calculate structural parameters, polarization, and ferroelectric well depths both for reported and as-yet hypothetical representatives of this class. Our results provide guidance for the experimental realization and further investigation of high-performance materials suitable for practical applications.
Investigation of Gal-3 Expression Pattern in Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients Suffering From Neurodegenerative Disorders (2018)

We performed this study to investigate the possibility of a definitive pattern of Galectin-3 (Gal-3) expression in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients. In our study, we collected the CSF and serum samples of 31 AD patients, 19 ALS patients and 50 normal healthy subjects (controls). Quantitative ELISA measured Gal-3 concentrations in CSF and serum samples. A comparative analysis was performed to analyze and understand the Gal-3 expression pattern. A number of neuropsychological assessments and statistical analyses were carried out to validate our findings. Recent researches have established the role of galectins in various neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs), but a definitive pattern of galectin expression is still elusive. A significant difference was observed in serum and CSF Gal-3 concentrations between AD patients and healthy controls. The difference in serum and CSF Gal-3 concentrations between ALS patients vs. controls was lesser as compared to AD patients vs. controls. The difference in serum and CSF Gal-3 concentrations of AD vs. ALS patients was not significant. The MMSE score and serum and CSF Gal-3 concentrations in AD and ALS patients, and controls exhibited a significant positive correlation. The findings of the present study are expected to provide an insight into the definitive pattern of Gal-3 expression in AD and ALS patients, and might thus establish Gal-3 as a strong biomarker. This in turn will open up new and promising research avenues targeting the expression of galectins to modulate the progression of NDDs, and pave the way for novel therapeutic options.
Dependence of Pitch on Composition in Cholesteric Liquid Crystals (1969)

Two-component cholesteric liquid crystal films have been observed to exhibit a remarkable structural dependence on composition. There is evidence that the relationship of color and temperature in these films is connected with this dependence.
A Capillary Electrophoresis Sequencing Method for the Identification of Mutations in the Inverted Terminal Repeats of Adeno-Associated Virus (2012)

Inverted terminal repeat (ITR) integrity is critical for the replication, packaging, and transduction of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV), a promising gene therapy vector. Because AAV ITRs possess 70% GC content and are palindromic, they are notoriously difficult to sequence. The purpose of this work was to develop a reliable ITR sequencing method. The ITRs of two molecular clones of AAV2, pTZAAV and pAV2, were (1) sequenced directly from plasmid DNA in the presence of denaturant (direct sequencing method, DSM) or (2) first amplified in a reaction in which 7-deaza-dGTP was substituted for dGTP and the resultant amplification product sequenced (amplification sequencing method, ASM). The DSM and ASM techniques yielded clear chromatograms, read through the ITR hairpin, and revealed hitherto unreported mutations in each ITR. pTZAAV and pAV2 possess identical mutations at the upstream MscI site of the 5' ITR (T>G, nt 2) and the downstream MscI site of the 3' ITR (del. nt 4672-4679). The chromatograms for pAV2 also revealed that the ITRs of this construct were arranged in a FLOP/FLOP orientation. In addition, the DSM was successfully employed to recover ITR-chromosomal junction sequences from a variety of rAAV-transduced tissue types. Both the DSM and ASM can be employed to sequence through the AAV ITR hairpin, and both techniques reliably detect mutations in the ITR. Because the DSM and ASM offer a way to verify ITR integrity, they constitute powerful tools for the process development of rAAV gene therapy.
Study of the Door Closing Performance of an Aluminum Door (2013)

When purchasing a product, and in particular when many different brands compete in the market, the first impression will consistently affect a customer's choice. When buying a car, the ease with which the doors close, the speed and the sound of the closure must give the customer the impression of a quality car. The recent stringent regulations on fuel economy and pollution have forced car makers to look for new solutions to lower the fuel consumption of the vehicles of their fleet and meet the standards imposed. The most obvioussolutions to reach the target are the improvement in the efficiency of engines and the reduction in vehicle weight. In the recent past, the use of aluminum (mainly in the form of alloy) in the automotive industry has increased due to its lower weight with respect to steel, even if the higher costs remain a big hindrance to the large-scale use of this metal. When dealing with door closing effort, the use of aluminum introduces some issues that relate directly to the lower weight of the door and possibly to other factors dependent on the different materials. The closing performance of the door is therefore expected to change, and the variations in the contributors to the closing effort need to be analyzed and discussed. In this work, the door closing performance of an aluminum door and of a steel door of a C segment vehicle are fully compared to study what changes, and to which extent, in the closing effort, due to the lighter alloy used. Two means are used, the physical testing of the doors in the body shop with the EZ Slam technology, and the simulation of the closing event with an existing closing effort predictive model. Particular focus is put on the contribution of the check system to the closing effort and how its final profile affects the closing event of the door.
