specialists in the field had a right not to know the abundant literature' Kurt Mendel, who was a neurologist in Berlin, survived as a 'non Aryan' in the Nazi era, because he lived in a privileged 'mixed marriage' but was affected by the withdrawal of the license to practice his professional existence in 1938. On the basis of the new National Socialist 'Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service' he was dismissed from his post in 1933 and in 1934 his teaching license was revoked. In 1938, his name was purged from all editorial boards of scientific German journals. In November 1942, Buschke was deported to the concentration camp at Theresienstadt (Bohemia) There he died on 25 February 1943, according to the CC documentation, of a natural death at an age of 75 years. LEUR owenstein  was born on 28 November 1895 in Lichtenau, Westphalia. Later, he became assistant of the then already famous Professor Buschke. In contrast to Buschke, LEUR owenstein was a political man and in 1928 joined the 'Association of Socialist Physicians' He also became a victim of the measures to remove Jews from public service in 1933. In contrast to Buschke, LEUR owenstein filed an appeal against this decision in which 'he asserted not only his patriotic and national sentiments, but supplied even sworn declarations by members of the SA and the NSDAP which should prove his loyalty' This was unsuccessful and in 1934 LEUR owenstein was officially dismissed. In 1937, he emigrated to New York where he died in 1959. Together with Buschke, he published the paper 'About condylomata acuminata of the penis' in 1925, followed by a second publication in 1931 'About the relations of condylomata to carcinoma of the penis' They described a verrucous lesion of the penis which histologically resembled a condyloma but clinically a carcinoma without metastasis. Buschke is considered to have been one of the greatest venereologists of his time. Being of Jewish origin, Buschke was dismissed and stripped of all his titles, his name was erased from all editorial boards of German journals and some of his books were publicly burnt. However, his name and fame has survived Nazism, and his achievements in dermatology have remained.
From Trees to Continuous Embeddings and Back: Hyperbolic Hierarchical Clustering
Venue: NeurIPS
Year: 2020

Similarity based Hierarchical Clustering (HC) is a classical unsupervised machine learning algorithm that has traditionally been solved with heuristic algorithms like Average Linkage. Recently, Dasgupta reframed HC as a discrete optimization problem by introducing a global cost function measuring the quality of a given tree. In this work, we provide the first continuous relaxation of Dasgupta's discrete optimization problem with provable quality guarantees. The key idea of our method, HypHC, is showing a direct correspondence from discrete trees to continuous representations (via the hyperbolic embeddings of their leaf nodes) and back (via a decoding algorithm that maps leaf embeddings to a dendrogram) allowing us to search the space of discrete binary trees with continuous optimization. Building on analogies between trees and hyperbolic space, we derive a continuous analogue for the notion of lowest common ancestor, which leads to a continuous relaxation of Dasgupta's discrete objective. We can show that after decoding, the global minimizer of our continuous relaxation yields a discrete tree with a (1 epsilon) factor approximation for Dasgupta's optimal tree, where epsilon can be made arbitrarily small and controls optimization challenges. We experimentally evaluate HypHC on a variety of HC benchmarks and find that even approximate solutions found with gradient descent have superior clustering quality than agglomerative heuristics or other gradient based algorithms. Finally, we highlight the flexibility of HypHC using end to end training in a downstream classification task.
Privacy Utility Feature Selection as a Privacy Mechanism in Collaborative Data Classification
Venue: 2017 IEEE 26th International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE)
Year: 2017

This paper presents a novel framework for privacy aware collaborative information sharing for data classification. Data holders participating in this information sharing system, for global benefits are interested to model a classifier on whole dataset, but are ready to share their own table of data if a certain amount of privacy is guaranteed. To address this issue, we propose a privacy mechanism based on privacy utility feature selection, which by eliminating the most irrelevant set of features in terms of accuracy and privacy, guarantees the privacy requirements of data providers, whilst the data remain practically useful for classification. Due to the fact that the proposed trade off metric is required to be exploited on whole dataset, a distributed secure sum protocol is utilized to protect information leakage in each site. The proposed approach is evaluated and validated through standard Tumor dataset.
Modellbasierte Kraftstofferkennung im Dieselmotor
Year: 2019

Der landwirtschaftliche Sektor eignet sich besonders fur die Nutzung von naturbelassenem Rapsol als Kraftstoff. Durch dezentrale Olmuhlen bleiben die Transportwege kurz und der Landwirt kann seinen eigenen Kraftstoff herstellen  Diese Selbstversorgung mit erneuerbaren Energien eroffnet den Betrieben zusatzliches Wertschopfungspotenzial  Die Marktdurchdringung von Rapsolkraftstoff ist jedoch seit Jahrzenten gering. Einer der Grunde hierfur ist die Preisvolatilitat von biogenen Kraftstoffen.
Increasing Robustness in the Detection of Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
Year: 2019

This paper focuses on detecting freezing of gait in Parkinson's patients using body worn accelerometers. In this study, we analyzed the robustness of four feature sets, two of which are new features adapted from speech processing: mel frequency cepstral coefficients and quality assessment metrics. For classification based on these features, we compared random forest, multilayer perceptron, hidden Markov models, and deep neural networks. These algorithms were evaluated using a leave one subject out (LOSO) cross validation to match the situation where a system is being constructed for patients for whom there is no training data. This evaluation was performed using the Daphnet dataset, which includes recordings from ten patients using three accelerometers situated on the ankle, knee, and lower back. We obtained a reduction from 17.3% to 12.5% of the equal error rate compared to the previous best results using this dataset and LOSO testing. For high levels of sensitivity (such as 0.95) the specificity increased from 0.63 to 0.75. The biggest improvement across all of the feature sets and algorithms tested in this study was obtained by integrating information from longer periods of time in a deep neural network with convolutional layers.
A novel de re couple modulation strategy for full wave mode single phase high frequency link inverter
Venue: 2014 IEEE Conference and Expo Transportation Electrification Asia Pacific (ITEC Asia Pacific)
Year: 2014

The full wave mode single phase high frequency link inverter (FWMSPHFLI),which composed of a high frequency inverter, an isolate high frequency transformer and a cycloconverter, is widely studied for its advantages of small volume, low noise, low cost and isolated power conversion. A novel soft commutation method based on FWMSPHFLI is proposed in this paper. The experimental results show that this method can achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) of all the switches in the cycloconverter and natural commutation without auxiliary circuits and commutation overlap of the switches in the cycloconverter.
De novo assembly of transcriptomes, mining, and development of novel EST SSR markers in Curcuma alismatifolia (Zingiberaceae family) through Illumina sequencing
Venue: Scientific Reports
Year: 2019

Curcuma alismatifolia widely used as an ornamental plant in Thailand and Cambodia. This species of herbaceous perennial from the Zingiberaceae family, includes cultivars with a wide range of colours and long postharvest life, and is used as an ornamental cut flower, as a potted plant, and in exterior landscapes. For further genetic improvement, however, little genomic information and no specific molecular markers are available. The present study used Illumina sequencing and de novo transcriptome assembly of two C. alismatifolia cvs, 'Chiang Mai Pink' and 'UB Snow 701' to develop simple sequence repeat markers for genetic diversity studies. After de novo assembly, 62,105 unigenes were generated and 48,813 (78.60% showed significant similarities versus six functional protein databases. In addition, 9,351 expressed sequence tag simple sequence repeats (EST SSRs) were identified with a distribution frequency of 12.5% total unigenes. Out of 8,955 designed EST SSR primers, 150 primers were selected for the development of potential molecular markers. Among these markers, 17 EST SSR markers presented a moderate level of genetic diversity among three C. alismatifolia cultivars, one hybrid, three Curcuma, and two Zingiber species. Three different genetic groups within these species were revealed using EST SSR markers, indicating that the markers developed in this study can be effectively applied to the population genetic analysis of Curcuma and Zingiber species. This report describes the first analysis of transcriptome data of an important ornamental ginger cultivars, also provides a valuable resource for gene discovery and marker development in the genus Curcuma.

Experimental and Numerical Study on Water Filling and Air Expelling Process in a Pipe with Multiple Air Valves under Water Slow Filling Condition
Year: 2019

This paper investigates the physical processes involved in the water filling and air expelling process of a pipe with multiple air valves under water slow filling condition, and develops a fully coupledwater air two phase stratified numerical model for simulating the process. In this model, the Saint Venant equations and the Vertical Average Navier Stokes equations (VANS) are respectively applied to describe the water and air in pipe, and the air valve model is introduced into the VANS equations of air as the source term. The finite volume method and implicit dual time stepping method (IDTS) with two order accuracy are simultaneously used to solve this numerical model to realize the full coupling between water and air movement. Then, the model is validated by using the experimental data of the pressure evolution in pipe and the air velocity evolution of air valves, which respectively characterize the water filling and air expelling process. The results show that the model performs well in capturing the physical processes, and a reasonable agreement is obtained between numerical and experimental results. This agreement demonstrates that the proposed model in this paper offers a practical method for simulating water filling and air expelling process in a pipe with multiple air valves under water slow filling condition.
Analyse comparative de genomes complets de souches pathogenes et de portage de Staphylococcus lugdunensis et caracterisation du systeme de secretion Ess/type VII
Year: 2018

La premiere partie de nos travaux a consiste au sequencage de genomes complets de trois souches pathogenes et de trois souches de portage de Staphylococcus lugdunensis pour les comparer aux 15 genomes complets disponibles sur NCBI. Aucun determinant genetique associe au contexte de virulence ou de portage de S. lugdunensis n'a ete identifie. Cependant, nous avons mis en evidence la presence d'elements genetiques mobiles et des variations dependantes des complexes clonaux,definis par MultiLocus Sequence Typing, au sein de loci potentiellement associes a la virulence. Des variations ont ete observees dans un locus homologue a celui de Staphylococcus aureus codant le systeme de secretion Ess/type VII (SST7) Nous avons mis en evidence huit organisations genetiques chez cette espece presentant pourtant une structure de population clonale. La seconde partie de nos travaux a consiste a la caracterisation phenotypique et moleculaire du SST7 chez S. lugdunensis par la formation d'un mutant de deletion du gene essC codant une proteine essentielle a la secretion. Nos resultats suggerent que le SST7 serait implique dans la translocation de proteines predites in silico comme impliquees dans la virulence. Neanmoins, dans des modeles de cytotoxicite cellulaire et d'infection du nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, aucune attenuation de la virulence n'a ete observee chez la souche mutante malgre une perte de sa capacite a lyser les erythrocytes, comparativement a la souche sauvage. Nos travaux ont egalement permis de developper et d'evaluer le pouvoir discriminant de trois nouvelles methodes de typage constituant des outils tres prometteurs pour l'epidemiologie moleculaire des infections a S. lugdunensis.
Stripping #The Dress: the importance of contextual information on inter individual differences in colour perception
Venue: Psychological research
Year: 2018

In 2015, a picture of a Dress (henceforth the Dress) triggered popular and scientific interest; some reported seeing the Dress in white and gold (W&G) and others in blue and black (B&B) We aimed to describe the phenomenon and investigate the role of contextualization. Few days after the Dress had appeared on the Internet, we projected it to 240 students on two large screens in the classroom. Participants reported seeing the Dress in B&B (48% W&G (38% or blue and brown (B&Br; 7% Amongst numerous socio demographic variables, we only observed that W&G viewers were most likely to have always seen the Dress as W&G. In the laboratory, we tested how much contextual information is necessary for the phenomenon to occur. Fifty seven participants selected colours most precisely matching predominant colours of parts or the full Dress. We presented, in this order, small squares (a) vertical strips (b) and the full Dress (c) We found that (1) B&B, B&Br, and W&G viewers had selected colours differing in lightness and chroma levels for contextualized images only (b, c conditions) and hue for fully contextualized condition only (c) and (2) B&B viewers selected colours most closely matching displayed colours of the Dress. Thus, the Dress phenomenon emerges due to inter individual differences in subjectively perceived lightness, chroma, and hue, at least when all aspects of the picture need to be integrated. Our results support the previous conclusions that contextual information is key to colour perception; it should be important to understand how this actually happens.
A new approach for categorizing pig lying behaviour based on a Delaunay triangulation method.
Venue: Animal an international journal of animal bioscience
Year: 2017

Machine vision based monitoring of pig lying behaviour is a fast and non intrusive approach that could be used to improve animal health and welfare. Four pens with 22 pigs in each were selected at a commercial pig farm and monitored for 15 days using top view cameras. Three thermal categories were selected relative to room setpoint temperature. An image processing technique based on Delaunay triangulation (DT) was utilized. Different lying patterns (close, normal and far) were defined regarding the perimeter of each DT triangle and the percentages of each lying pattern were obtained in each thermal category. A method using a multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network, to automatically classify group lying behaviour of pigs into three thermal categories, was developed and tested for its feasibility. The DT features (mean value of perimeters, maximum and minimum length of sides of triangles) were calculated as inputs for the MLP classifier. The network was trained, validated and tested and the results revealed that MLP could classify lying features into the three thermal categories with high overall accuracy (95.6% The technique indicates that a combination of image processing, MLP classification and mathematical modelling can be used as a precise method for quantifying pig lying behaviour in welfare investigations.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AND EXTREMISM IN PAKISTAN: FROM DEOBANDI MILITANCY TO A RISING SUFI FANATICISM
Year: 2018

The aim of this research article is to verify waves of fanaticism among thefollowers of the Barelvi sect, a branch of Sufi Islam along with continuation of violentextremist activities by the followers of the Deobandi brand of the Muslim religion inPakistan. It has been evidenced that Pakistan's society has been badly infl uenced byreligious extremism since the 1980s (Gul, 2012) Fitzgerald (2011) termed the religion asa force of nature which is absolutely appropriate for the case of religious extremism inPakistan. The religious extremism in Pakistan can be examined through the concept ofsocial constructivism which emphasizes characterisation of human identity, values andnorms in the society (Sajjad, 2015).Method. The qualitative method of research was employed to analyse circumstancesrelated to growing Sufi 's fanaticism in Pakistan. The data was collected from differentsources including books, scientifi c journals, research articles, newspapers and websites. By using various valuable references, it has been verifi ed that support of thestate in the 1980s caused growth of Deobandi extremism, as well as support by the state inorder to counter some of the Deobandi fanatic groups in the 1990s and 2000s led to occurrenceof Barelvi fanaticism in the country. The study confi rms that Pakistan, which was already witness of Deobandimilitancy, is facing the more challenging fanaticism of Barelvis, having strong tendencies toward radicalization and extremism on the religious issues like blasphemy.
Management of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the Anesthesia and Radiographic Context
Venue: Journal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics JDBP
Year: 2017

As a primary objective, this study purports to develop guidelines to better care for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) particularly regarding these children's preparation for anesthesia and radiologic procedures.  Using a Delphi method with an online distribution of questionnaire, guidelines for caring for children with ASD were created. Twenty one participants were included in the expert panel. These participants were working with children with ASD in several anesthesia and radiology departments in Sweden. A list of items was created from a previous survey and the literature. In the first round, the items with <60% agreement were discarded. Items were merged, and a new list was created. Two more similar rounds were performed. In the last 2 rounds, 21 participants responded, and 80% agreement was considered to be consensus.  The final guidelines consisted of 14 items and a checklist of 16 factors. The 5 areas covered by the items and the checklist were as follows: planning involving parents/guardians, features in the environment, and use of time, communication, and the health care professionals. The organization was important in making it possible for the health care professional to care for the individual child according to the child's needs. It was important to involve the parents/guardians to obtain knowledge about the functioning of the child.  A caring encounter involving a child with ASD in the anesthesia and radiology contexts requires advance planning, catered specifically to the individual needs of each child. To accomplish this, general knowledge regarding ASD and ASD's particular manifestation in the child entrusted to their care is required from the health care workers. The organization needs to have structures in place to facilitate this process.
Transformational affects and core state in AEDP: The emergence and consolidation of joy, hope, gratitude, and confidence in (the solid goodness of) the self.
Year: 2008

Positive affects in the context of positive dyadic interactions are fundamental to mental health and the development of the self, and are here considered from within the vantage point of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) an attachment and emotion model of psychotherapy. We explore three phenomenological/affective/behavioral sets of positive affects mastery affects, healing affects, and core state in the context of positive dyadic interactions and understand their adaptive values by referencing the realms of attachment, intersubjectivity and affective neuroscience. We detail an experiential process in which the regulation of painful emotion in the context of a positive dyadic therapeutic relationship naturally culminates in the emergence of positive affects and positive emotional states, which in turn are vehicles for accessing emotional resources and resilience associated with resilient functioning and emotional flourishing. Detailed transcripts from two videotaped sessions are microanalyzed so as to delineate the moment to moment phenomenology and dynamics of the AEDP therapeutic process and to document the spontaneous emergence of these positive affective phenomena in a therapeutic context designed to make the most of their therapeutic effectiveness.

Venue: Circulation research
Year: 2007

With the extensive involvement of the communities it serves, the NHLBI has just completed development of a scientific working plan to guide its activities and initiatives in the near future. Shaping the Future of Research: A Strategic Plan for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute is accessible on the NHLBI Web site  The plan is the outcome of an inclusive "bottom up" approach that called on the wisdom and expertise of more than 600 individuals, including researchers, representatives of patient advocacy groups and professional societies, and other members of the scientific and lay communities. The initial step (Level One) comprised 23 thematic meetings held during the spring and summer of 2006. Participants were asked to identify scientific areas that the NHLBI could and should play a major role in advancing and to recommend operational policies to facilitate conduct of high priority scientific research. In October 2006, a Level Two meeting brought together members of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Advisory
