A Thin Folded Dipole UHF RFID Tag Antenna with Shorting Pins for Metallic Objects

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A novel folded dipole type microstrip patch antenna designed for ultrahigh frequency (UHF) band radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is presented in this paper, which can be used on the metallic objects.The presented antenna is fabricated on a very thin Rogers 5880 substrate with a thickness of 0.508 mm.The structure consists of two folded dipole and two symmetrical shorting pins placed at both sides of feed point.An adjustable frequency response can be easy obtained via modify the location and radius of the shorting pins.The antenna has been analyzed by full wave simulations soft.The simulated bandwidth is about 67.2 MHz, which covers the Europe and North America UHF RFID frequency range.A manufactured prototype has been fabricated and measured to demonstrate the antenna performances.The simulation results agree with the measurement data well.The measured maximum reading range of the prototype can be reached 4.1 m in free space, and 3.2 m on a metal plate whose size is 150×150×8mm 3 .
Humane Hypocrisies

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter examines the contradiction between the values that many people claim to hold and their actual behavior, and how the system of producing animals as commodities under capitalism maintains their exploitation through construction of various myths, by the criminalization of animal activists, and by the pretense that those who oppress and exploit nonhuman animals are the victims of those activists. The chapter critiques the fetishization of animal body parts as commodities and advertising and industry propaganda that conceal actual relations of production and structural violence, and rejects the exculpatory narratives embraced by consumers, neo-welfarists, post-humanist academics, and do-it-yourself slaughter enthusiasts. It exposes the hypocrisy at the heart of the so-called "humane" use of non-human animals, showing that the humane myth is essentially a speciesist reaffirmation that the violent domination and murder of others is legitimate. Various rhetorical techniques (such as claims that nonhuman animals embrace their deaths, demonization of animal advocates, use of euphemisms, arrogation of victimhood) are examined. The chapter maintains that vegan animal rights activists present the rational alternative to this confused and hypocritical behavior: We must end the institutionalized exploitation of nonhuman animals and stop regarding them merely as property and resources for our use.
Berichus and the Evidence for Aspar’s Political Power and Aims in the Last Years of Theodosius II’s Reign

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The article examines Priscus’s account of the conflict that emerged between the leader of the Roman embassy, Maximinus, and the Hunnic envoy, Berichus. The barbarian got offended by the remarks concerning the lack of competence and influence of Aspar and Areobindus. A detailed analysis of this short passage – entailing the persona of Berichus himself, the reasons for his anger, and the possible explanations for Maximinus’s behaviour – can provide us with evidence regarding the political position of Aspar in the last years of the reign of Theodosius II. Most scholars use this example to illustrate Aspar’s falling out of favour and power; it is more likely, however, that the situation was actually more complex. The political struggle between Chrysaphius, a proponent of the policy of reconciliation with the Huns, and Zeno, the opponent of such policies, makes it far more probable that the government feared that their diplomatic effort might be hijacked by the opposing faction. Therefore, it was political differences – and not the failures in the war of 447 – that were the reason for Aspar’s falling out with the emperor. This would also mean that Zeno and Aspar shared similar views on how to solve the Hunnic problem, which would be the basis for their cooperation, resulting in the overthrowing of Chrysaphius and the crowning of Marcian in 450.
Philosophy and the Jewish Tradition

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Aryeh Motzkin was an extraordinary thinker and writer. Much of his work appeared in small academic journals despite the fact that it is often quite accessible, even to non-experts. This volume assembles his most important published papers along with several unpublished papers. They all have a single theme: the encounter between the Jewish tradition and philosophy as discovered by Plato and Aristotle. The book’s first group of essays deal with the way medieval Jewish thinkers understood the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. The second group deals with how these same medieval thinkers were themselves interpreted by modern thinkers, beginning with Spinoza. A recurring issue in all the essays is the difficulty inherent in any encounter between philosophia perennis and the changing history of Judaism.
The Role of the Cytoskeleton in the Modulation of the Connexin36 Nexus in N2a Cells

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

We tested the hypothesis that the interaction of Cx36 with the cytoskeleton is necessary to achieve synaptic plasticity in neurons. In living cells, BioID and FRAP technology was used to demonstrate binding of Cx36 to actin and tubulin. Wild-type and mutant proteins, together with pharmacological blockers or TAT peptides were used to characterize the interaction. Major results of this study are that rCx36 interacts primarily with the neuronal βIII-tubulin isoform to regulate the trafficking and aggregation of connexons at the GJP. Amino acid Lys279 in the CTB domain is critical for this interaction. A potential actin-binding site in the CLB domain of rCx36 was identified, with actin mainly serving as an anchor to stabilize connexons. During a simulation of plasticity in vitro, GJPs became more stable; we attribute this to interactions with the cytoskeleton and associating proteins. We conclude that cytoskeletal-dependent interaction is required to modulate the strength of Cx36 synapses.
Investigation on Realistic Synthesis Approach for Shaped Beam Patterns and its validation through EM Simulation study

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this study, authors aimed to develop a realistic strategy to synthesized shaped beam antenna, which is of major practical concern. A particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is employed to compute required excitation coefficients of array elements agreeing to the desired shape of the radiation pattern. Authors considered cosecant and flat-topped beam patterns to illustrate the perfectibility of the purposed approach. In addition, an EM simulation study is performed to further validate the potentiality of the proposed approach in constructing the practical arrays.

“INEVITABILITY”: Capturing Strategic Ambiguity in Xi Jinping's China

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT This article approaches the discourse of inevitability used by Xi Jinping and his foreign policy communicators from the perspective of strategic ambiguity signaling. Drawing on the post‐realist rhetoric turn, it analyzes its roots, evolution, as well as the contexts in which Xi Jinping deploys it, most notably in relation to the “great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation” and its element of “resolving the Taiwan question and realizing China's complete reunification.” Centering on official English translations, I examine the original texts in Chinese to establish the Chinese equivalents of wording where viable. I show that the inevitability discourse projects assurance yet fails to provide detail or indicate a preference of one scenario (peaceful unification) over any other (takeover by force), indicating that it falls within a conceptualization of strategic ambiguity.
SPATIO-TEMPORAL REGISTRATION IN AUGMENTED REALITY

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The overarching goal of Augmented Reality (AR) is to provide users with the illusion that virtual and real objects coexist indistinguishably in the same space. An effective persistent illusion requires accurate registration between the real and the virtual objects, registration that is spatially and temporally coherent. However, visible misregistration can be caused by many inherent error sources, such as errors in calibration, tracking, and modeling, and system delay. This dissertation focuses on new methods that could be considered part of "the last mile" of spatio-temporal registration in AR: closed-loop spatial registration and low-latency temporal registration: 1. For spatial registration, the primary insight is that calibration, tracking and modeling are means to an end---the ultimate goal is registration. In this spirit I present a novel pixel-wise closed-loop registration approach that can automatically minimize registration errors using a reference model comprised of the real scene model and the desired virtual augmentations. Registration errors are minimized in both global world space via camera pose refinement, and local screen space via pixel-wise adjustments. This approach is presented in the context of Video See-Through AR (VST-AR) and projector-based Spatial AR (SAR), where registration results are measurable using a commodity color camera. 2. For temporal registration, the primary insight is that the real-virtual relationships are evolving throughout the tracking, rendering, scanout, and display steps, and registration can be improved by leveraging fine-grained processing and display mechanisms. In this spirit I introduce a general end-to-end system pipeline with low latency, and propose an algorithm for minimizing latency in displays (DLP DMD projectors in particular). This approach is presented in the context of Optical See-Through AR (OST-AR), where system delay is the most detrimental source of error. I also discuss future steps that may further improve spatio-temporal registration. Particularly, I discuss possibilities for using custom virtual or physical-virtual fiducials for closed-loop registration in SAR. The custom fiducials can be designed to elicit desirable optical signals that directly indicate any error in the relative pose between the physical and projected virtual objects.
TARGETED SURVEILLANCE FOR EUROPEAN BAT LYSSAVIRUSES IN ENGLISH BATS (2003–06)

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

In 2003–06, targeted (active) surveillance for European bat lyssaviruses (EBLVs) was undertaken throughout England, focusing on two species most likely to host these viruses, Myotis daubentonii and Eptesicus serotinus. Blood was sampled for the detection of EBLV-specific neutralizing antibodies and oropharyngeal swabs were taken for the detection of viral RNA or infectious virus in saliva. Between 2003 and 2006, 273 E. serotinus and 363 M. daubentonii blood samples were tested by the EBLV-1 or EBLV-2 specific modified fluorescent antibody neutralization test. The EBLV-2 antibody prevalence estimate was 1.0–4.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]; mean=2.2%) for M. daubentonii. European bat lyssavirus type 1–specific antibodies were detected only in a single E. serotinus. Other nontarget species (n=5) were sampled in small numbers (n=24), with no EBLV-specific antibody detected. No viral RNA or live virus was detected in any of the oropharyngeal swabs analyzed. Host RNA was detected from 83% of the oropharyngeal swabs analyzed (total swabs 2003–06: n=766). These data show that EBLV-2 is present in M. daubentonii in England. In contrast, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that EBLV-1 is present in E. serotinus in England, although further research is warranted.
A piece of my mind. Special delivery

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

"NPC," read the bulletin board—no prenatal care. Good, from the point of view of a medical student waiting to deliver his first baby, because there would be no private obstetrician. Bad, from the mother's standpoint, because of the increased risks. I wrote my initials in the box marked "physician" and entered the room. Mrs Cortez was a very short, bronze-skinned, black-haired woman who seemed to be in her early 20s. Apart from her height she bore physical traits of many of the Mexican women who crossed the border just in time to give birth to new US citizens. She wore tattered jeans that were slightly soiled and rolled at the cuffs. A dusty, knitted shawl draped her broad shoulders. Her fingers were calloused, as if she had long worked in the fields. Her face, which she must have protected from the sun, bore sparkling eyes and rosy skin over gentle
Aggressiveness of Conidiobolus obscurus against the Pea Aphid: Influence of Cuticular Extracts on Ballistospore Germination of Aggressive and Non-aggressive Strains

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

SUMMARY: Cuticular extracts of Acyrthosiphon pisum, the pea aphid, stimulated the formation of germ-tubes of ballistospores of aggressive strains of Conidiobolus obscurus, but showed no influence on those of non-aggressive strains. Aggressive strains were separated into two groups: (a) those stimulated by both (i) water- or alcohol-soluble cuticular extracts originating from honeydew and (ii) lipidic extracts of the cuticle, and (b) those stimulated by (ii) only. The hydrocarbon and polar fractions of the cuticular lipids were the most active. These results obtained with C. obscurus are compared to the effect of cuticular compounds on spore germination in other entomopathogenic fungi.
Influence of oxygen concentration on the metabolism of Penicillium chrysogenum

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract In large‐scale bioreactors, there is often insufficient mixing and as a consequence, cells experience uneven substrate and oxygen levels that influence product formation. In this study, the influence of dissolved oxygen (DO) gradients on the primary and secondary metabolism of a high producing industrial strain of Penicillium chrysogenum was investigated. Within a wide range of DO concentrations, obtained under chemostat conditions, we observed different responses from P. chrysogenum : (i) no influence on growth or penicillin production (>0.025 mmol L −1 ); (ii) reduced penicillin production, but no growth limitation (0.013–0.025 mmol L −1 ); and (iii) growth and penicillin production limitations (<0.013 mmol L −1 ). In addition, scale down experiments were performed by oscillating the DO concentration in the bioreactor. We found that during DO oscillation, the penicillin production rate decreased below the value observed when a constant DO equal to the average oscillating DO value was used. To understand and predict the influence of oxygen levels on primary metabolism and penicillin production, we developed a black box model that was linked to a detailed kinetic model of the penicillin pathway. The model simulations represented the experimental data during the step experiments; however, during the oscillation experiments the predictions deviated, indicating the involvement of the central metabolism in penicillin production.
Learning Weighted Submanifolds with Variational Autoencoders and\n Riemannian Variational Autoencoders

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Manifold-valued data naturally arises in medical imaging. In cognitive\nneuroscience, for instance, brain connectomes base the analysis of coactivation\npatterns between different brain regions on the analysis of the correlations of\ntheir functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) time series - an object thus\nconstrained by construction to belong to the manifold of symmetric positive\ndefinite matrices. One of the challenges that naturally arises consists of\nfinding a lower-dimensional subspace for representing such manifold-valued\ndata. Traditional techniques, like principal component analysis, are\nill-adapted to tackle non-Euclidean spaces and may fail to achieve a\nlower-dimensional representation of the data - thus potentially pointing to the\nabsence of lower-dimensional representation of the data. However, these\ntechniques are restricted in that: (i) they do not leverage the assumption that\nthe connectomes belong on a pre-specified manifold, therefore discarding\ninformation; (ii) they can only fit a linear subspace to the data. In this\npaper, we are interested in variants to learn potentially highly curved\nsubmanifolds of manifold-valued data. Motivated by the brain connectomes\nexample, we investigate a latent variable generative model, which has the added\nbenefit of providing us with uncertainty estimates - a crucial quantity in the\nmedical applications we are considering. While latent variable models have been\nproposed to learn linear and nonlinear spaces for Euclidean data, or geodesic\nsubspaces for manifold data, no intrinsic latent variable model exists to learn\nnongeodesic subspaces for manifold data. This paper fills this gap and\nformulates a Riemannian variational autoencoder with an intrinsic generative\nmodel of manifold-valued data. We evaluate its performances on synthetic and\nreal datasets by introducing the formalism of weighted Riemannian submanifolds.\n
Respiratory Depression of Intravenous Hydroxyzine in Man

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The effects of intravenous hydroxyzine and hydroxyzine with naloxone on respiration were determined in man. Drug effect was expressed as the shift in the 20-L intercept of the respiratory response curve measured by a rebreathing technique. The time-effect curve of hydroxyzine was found to be the same for hydroxyzine alone and in combination with naloxone, but significantly different from placebo or naloxone alone. The duration of respiratory depression in man resulting from hydroxyzine, 100 mg IV, is greater than 3 hours. Our data did not support the hypothesis that the respiratory depressant and recently discovered antinociceptive effects of hydroxyzine result from endorphin release or are mediated by opiate receptors.
A Follow-up Evaluation of the Houston Parent-Child Development Center

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The Houston Parent-Child Development Center is a 2-year parent-child education program for low-income Mexican-American families. Families enter the program in annual cohorts when their child is 1 year of age and complete the program when the child is 3. End-of-program comparisons of randomly assigned groups have demonstrated that it has had positive effects on mothers and children. This report is of a follow-up evaluation of the program's effect on child school performance in the second through the fifth grades. There were no program effects on school grades, but on the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, program children achieved at a significantly higher level on the Reading, Language, and Vocabulary scales and also on the Composite score. On teacher ratings of classroom behavior, program children were less hostile. Groups did not differ in retention in grade or referral to special education classes. Fewer program children were in bilingual classes at the time of the survey.
Correction of the Lower Face and Neck

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Rejuvenation of the lower face and neck strives to reverse signs of aging while optimizing the patient's natural anatomy. Common features of an aesthetically pleasing lower face include a well-defined and appropriately balanced mandible and an acute cervicomental angle. Correction of the aging lower face and neck is accomplished through multiple surgical interventions, performed either alone or in combination. Determination of appropriate procedures is based on individual anatomic pathology. Intimate knowledge of facial anatomy and the complexity of the aging process is paramount to achieve a natural and aesthetic result. Thorough patient evaluation and counseling should precede any intervention. Specifically, the surgeon should be cognizant of the patient's skeletal structure, soft tissue distribution, muscular anatomy, and skin quality. Appropriate postoperative care and management of complications are vital to success.
Gene Expression Comparison between Sézary Syndrome and Lymphocytic-Variant Hypereosinophilic Syndrome Refines Biomarkers for Sézary Syndrome

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Sézary syndrome (SS), an aggressive cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) with poor prognosis, is characterized by the clinical hallmarks of circulating malignant T cells, erythroderma and lymphadenopathy. However, highly variable clinical skin manifestations and similarities with benign mimickers can lead to significant diagnostic delay and inappropriate therapy that can lead to disease progression and mortality. SS has been the focus of numerous transcriptomic-profiling studies to identify sensitive and specific diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. Benign inflammatory disease controls (e.g., psoriasis, atopic dermatitis) have served to identify chronic inflammatory phenotypes in gene expression profiles, but provide limited insight into the lymphoproliferative and oncogenic roles of abnormal gene expression in SS. This perspective was recently clarified by a transcriptome meta-analysis comparing SS and lymphocytic-variant hypereosinophilic syndrome, a benign yet often clonal T-cell lymphoproliferation, with clinical features similar to SS. Here we review the rationale for selecting lymphocytic-variant hypereosinophilic syndrome (L-HES) as a disease control for SS, and discuss differentially expressed genes that may distinguish benign from malignant lymphoproliferative phenotypes, including additional context from prior gene expression studies to improve understanding of genes important in SS.
Sensors for Kinetic Energy Measurement Operating on “Zero-Current Standby”

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The ever increasing need to extend battery life in IoT devices, self-powered sensors, and autonomous nodes highlights the need to reduce energy consumption as much as possible. One of the main issues still not fully addressed is the reduction of power consumption of sensors and measurement systems in standby mode, which represents a significant amount of the total power dissipation. In fact, nowadays, despite the continuous efforts, standby power is still far from being negligible. This paper exploits a new approach named "zero-current standby" to tackle this issue; moreover, due to the fact that the transducer implements kinetic-to-electrical energy conversion, a sensor that performs kinetic energy measurements is obtained and characterized. The proposed solution goes beyond the concept of the standby state itself, as it can actually be applied to appliances turned OFF. The design of a piezoelectric-based sensor able to measure kinetic energy is discussed in this paper. The proposed device will also allow zero-energy standby operation, with vibrations acting as trigger for sensor activation and data transmission via Wi-Fi. Numerical analysis, laboratory characterization, and experimental results of a complete working prototype are presented here, demonstrating both the suitability of the approach proposed and the improvement with respect to conventional strategies.
