Copyright 2002 Gartner, Inc. 5 The Gartner Glossary of Information Technology Acronyms and Terms 3-D Web sites A Web site that provides a virtual, three-dimensional “space” for visitors to explore (e.g., through the use of Virtual Reality Modeling Language). See VRML. 3G (third generation) The term used to refer to the next generation of wireless communications technology, the “first generation” having been analog cellular, and the “second generation” being today’s digital cellular networks. An initiative of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and regional standards bodies, 3G aims to provide universal, high-speed, high-bandwidth (up to 4 Mbps) wireless services supporting a variety of advanced applications. See UMTS, IMT-2000 and EDGE. 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) A collaboration agreement, established in 1998 among a number of telecommunications standards bodies, to produce a series of technical specifications and standards for third-generation (3G) wireless communications. See 3G. 3GL (third-generation language) A high-level programming language — such as FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, Pascal or C — that compiles to machine language. 3PL (third-party logistics) A type of service provider that offers advanced logistics services, such as transportation management, inventory maintenance and logistical modeling. 3rd Generation Partnership Project (see 3GPP) 4GL (fourth-generation language) A high-level language suitable for end-user or programmer data access and capable of reasonably complex data manipulation. It includes two categories of software development tools: application generators for production applications, and information generators for decision support applications. 4GLs are relatively nonprocedural and easier to use than 3GLs (e.g., COBOL and C), but are less powerful and more wasteful of computer resources. Gartner identifies three types of 4GLs: • A procedural language integrated with a database management system. Examples include Computer Associates’ CA-Ideal and Software AG’s Natural. • An information generator. Examples include Information Builders’

  • N94-13338 1.1.1 3Rd NASA Symposium on VLSI Design 1991
    N94-13338 1.1.1 3rd NASA Symposium on VLSI Design 1991 Experience with Custom Processors in Space Flight Applications M. E. Fraeman, J. R. Hayes, D. A. Lohr, B. W. Ballard, R. L. Williams, and R. M. Henshaw Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Laurel, Maryland 20723 Abstract- APL has developed a magnetometer instrument for a Swedish satel- lite named Freja with launch scheduled for August 1992 on a Chinese Long March rocket. The magnetometer controller utilized a custom microprocessor designed at APL with the Genesil silicon compiler. The processor evolved from our experience with an older bit-slice design and two prior single chip efforts. The architecture of our microprocessor greatly lowered software development costs because it was optimized to provide an interactive and extensible pro- gramming environment hosted by the target hardware. Radiation tolerance of the microprocessor was also tested and was adequate for Freja's mission-- 20 kRad(Si) total dose and very infrequent latch-up and single event upset events. 1 Introduction The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) has developed a micro- processor that is well suited to one-of-a-kind embedded applications especially in satellite instrument control. The chip has been qualified for use in a magnetometer instrument for the Swedish Freja satellite. The processor's language directed architecture reduced Freja software costs because the flight hardware served as its own development system. Thus, unlike traditional interpreted programming languages like Basic, Lisp, or Smalltalk, our Forth language development system was fully supported on the embedded flight proces- sor. Performance was also equivalent or better than that obtained by other microprocessors programmed in languages like C with traditional cross-compilers and development systems.

It is characterized by coordinated assembly of an actomyosin network, which drives inward membrane invaginations. However, whether coordinated cellularization driven by membrane invagination exists outside animals is not known. To that end, we investigate cellularization in the ichthyosporean Sphaeroforma arctica, a close unicellular relative of animals. We show that the process of cellularization involves coordinated inward plasma membrane invaginations dependent on an *For correspondence: actomyosin network and reveal the temporal order of its assembly. This leads to the formation of a [email protected] (OD); polarized layer of cells resembling an epithelium. We show that this stage is associated with tightly [email protected] (IR-T) regulated transcriptional activation of genes involved in cell adhesion.

  • The Modeling and Quantification of Rhythmic to Non-Rhythmic
    Graduate Institute of Biomedical Electronics and Bioinformatics College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science National Taiwan University Doctoral Dissertation The Modeling and Quantification of Rhythmic to Non-rhythmic Phenomenon in Electrocardiography during Anesthesia Author : Yu-Ting Lin Advisor : Jenho Tsao, Ph.D. arXiv:1502.02764v1 [q-bio.NC] 10 Feb 2015 February 2015 \All composite things are not constant. Work hard to gain your own enlightenment." Siddh¯arthaGautama Abstract Variations of instantaneous heart rate appears regularly oscillatory in deeper levels of anesthesia and less regular in lighter levels of anesthesia. It is impossible to observe this \rhythmic-to-non-rhythmic" phenomenon from raw electrocardiography waveform in cur- rent standard anesthesia monitors. To explore the possible clinical value, I proposed the adaptive harmonic model, which fits the descriptive property in physiology, and provides adequate mathematical conditions for the quantification. Based on the adaptive har- monic model, multitaper Synchrosqueezing transform was used to provide time-varying power spectrum, which facilitates to compute the quantitative index: \Non-rhythmic- to-Rhythmic Ratio" index (NRR index). I then used a clinical database to analyze the behavior of NRR index and compare it with other standard indices of anesthetic depth. The positive statistical results suggest that NRR index provides addition clinical infor- mation regarding motor reaction, which aligns with current standard tools. Furthermore, the ability to indicates the noxious stimulation is an additional finding. Lastly, I have proposed an real-time interpolation scheme to contribute my study further as a clinical application. Keywords: instantaneous heart rate; rhythmic-to-non-rhythmic; Synchrosqueezing trans- form; time-frequency analysis; time-varying power spectrum; depth of anesthesia; electro- cardiography Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank Professor Jenho Tsao for all thoughtful lessons, discus- sions, and guidance he has provided me in the last five years.
