A Hybrid Static-Dynamic Classification for Dual-Consistency Cache Coherence

Traditional cache coherence protocols manage all memory accesses equally and ensure the strongest memory model, namely, sequential consistency. Recent cache coherence protocols based on self-invalidation advocate for the model sequential consistency for data-race-free, which enables powerful optimizations for race-free code. However, for racy code these cache coherence protocols provide sub-optimal performance compared to traditional protocols. This paper proposes SPEL++, a dual-consistency cache coherence protocol that supports two execution modes: a traditional sequential-consistent protocol and a protocol that provides weak consistency (or sequential consistency for data-race-free). SPEL++ exploits a static-dynamic hybrid classification of memory accesses based on (i) a compile-time identification of extended data-race-free code regions for OpenMP applications and (ii) a runtime classification of accesses based on the operating system's memory page management. By executing racy code under the sequential-consistent protocol and race-free code under the cache coherence protocol that provides sequential consistency for data-race-free, the end result is an efficient execution of the applications while still providing sequential consistency. Compared to a traditional protocol, we show improvements in performance from 19 to 38 percent and reductions in energy consumption from 47 to 53 percent, on average for different benchmark suites, on a 64-core chip multiprocessor.
Surgical approach to C1-C2 nerve sheath tumors.

BACKGROUND C1 and C2 nerve sheath tumors (NST) are unique in presentation, relationship to neighbouring structures and surgical approaches when compared to their counterparts in other regions of the spine. AIM The strategies involved in the surgery for C1-C2 NST are discussed SETTING AND DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS 21 patients with C1 (n=6) and C2 (n=15) NST were operated based on their position with respect to the cord i.e. anterior (4), anterolateral (10), posterolateral (5), and posterior (2). The tumors had extra- and intradural components in 20 patients; while in one, the tumor was purely intradural. The operative approaches included the extreme lateral transcondylar approach (3); laminectomy with partial facetectomy (5); laminectomy (11); and, suboccipital craniectomy and laminectomy (2). RESULTS Total excision was performed in 13 patients; while in 7, a partial extraspinal component, and in 1, a small intradural component were left, in situ. Thirteen patients showed improvement by one or more grades in the Harsh myelopathy score; 2 patients with normal power had significant decrease in spasticity; while 5 maintained their grade. One poor-grade patient succumbed to septicemia. CONCLUSIONS C1-C2 NST may have exuberant growth due to the capacious spinal canal and the absence of a "true" intervertebral foramen at this level. Surgical approaches are determined by its relationship to the cord. A "T incision" on the dura, the partial drilling of the facets, sectioning of the denticulate ligament, rotating the operating table 15 to 30 degrees, and at times sectioning the posterior nerve roots are all useful adjuncts for facilitating access.
Adult attachment and approaches to activity engagement in chronic pain

Individuals with chronic pain exhibit a wide range of coping mechanisms, some of which are maladaptive (eg, activity avoidance or overactivity). The authors of this study aimed to investigate whether individuals may be predisposed to develop a particular maladaptive coping mechanism based on their attachment style (dismissing, preoccupied, fearful or secure), which represents a core feature of their personality.
Synthesis of strictly dissipative systems and the strictly suboptimal state space H$ control problem

In this short paper we study the problem of existence of a controlled behavior that is strictly dissipative with respect to a quadratic supply rate. The relation between strictness and the rank of a suitable qudratic differential form that couples the dissipativity properties of the hidden behavior and the orthogonal complement of the plant behavior is analyzed.
Faint X-Ray Sources Resolved in the ASCA Galactic Plane Survey and Their Contribution to the Galactic Ridge X-Ray Emission

The X-ray emission from the central region of the Galactic plane, |l| ≲ 45° and |b| ≲ 0. °4, was studied in the 0.7-10 keV energy band with a spatial resolution of ∼3′ with the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics (ASCA) observatory. We developed a new analysis method for the ASCA data to resolve discrete sources from the extended Galactic ridge X-ray emission (GRXE). We successfully resolved 163 discrete sources with an X-ray flux down to 10-12.5 ergs cm-2 s-1 and determined the intensity variations of the GRXE as a function of the Galactic longitude with a spatial resolution of about 1°. The longitudinal intensity variation in the energy band above 4 keV, for which there is little absorption in the Galactic plane, shows a large enhanced feature within |l| ≲ 30°. This suggests a strong enhancement of X-ray emissivity of the GRXE inside the 4 kpc arm of the Galaxy. Searches for identifications of the resolved X-ray sources with cataloged X-ray sources and optical stars show that the 66% are unidentified. Spectral analysis of each source shows that a large number of the unidentified sources have hard X-ray spectra obscured by the Galactic interstellar medium. We classified the sources into several groups by the flux, the hardness and the softness of the spectra, and performed further detailed analysis for the spectra summed within each group. Possible candidates of X-ray origins of these unidentified sources are discussed based on the grouping spectral analysis. Also, we derived the log N-log S relations of the resolved sources in the energy bands below and above 2 keV separately. The log N-log S relation of the Galactic X-ray sources above 2 keV was obtained for the first time with this study. It is represented by a power-law with an index of -0.79 ± 0.07 after correction for the contribution of extragalactic X-ray sources. This flat power-law relation suggests that the spatial distribution of the X-ray sources should have an armlike structure in which the solar system is included. The integrated surface brightness of the resolved sources is about 10% of the total GRXE in both energy bands. The approximately 90% of the emission remaining is still unresolved.
Hepatitis C Viremia Is Associated with Cytomegalovirus IgG Antibody Levels in HIV-Infected Women

Background Individuals with HIV infection exhibit high cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG levels, but there are few data regarding the association of hepatitis C virus (HCV) with the immune response against CMV. Methods Associations of HCV with CMV seropositivity and CMV IgG levels were studied in 635 HIV-infected women, 187 of whom were HCV-seropositive, with adjustment in multivariable models for age, race/ethnicity, and HIV disease characteristics. Eighty one percent of the women reported receipt of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) prior to or at CMV testing. Results In adjusted models women with chronic HCV had higher CMV IgG levels than those without HCV RNA (β = 2.86, 95% CI:0.89 – 4.83; P = 0.004). The association of HCV RNA with CMV IgG differed by age (P interaction = 0.0007), with a strong association observed among women in the low and middle age tertiles (≤45.3 years of age; β = 6.21, 95% CI:3.30 – 9.11, P<0.0001) but not among women in the high age tertile. CMV IgG levels were not associated with non-invasive measures of liver disease, APRI and FIB-4, or with HCV RNA level and adjustment for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) IgG levels did not affect the association between HCV and CMV. Conclusions CMV IgG levels are higher in HCV/HIV co-infected women than in HIV mono-infected women. Further research on the association of HCV with CMV IgG is indicated because prior studies have found CMV IgG to be associated with morbidity and mortality in the general population and subclinical carotid artery disease in HIV-infected patients.
THE EMERGENCE OF CEREBRAL ASYMMETRIES IN EARLY HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: A LITERATURE REVIEW AND A NEUROEMBRYOLOGICALMODEL *

Ever since Broca's century-old discovery of cerebral asymmetries in language functions, there has been speculation about the developmental emergence of human perceptual-cognitive asymme­ tries. The basic question has been: Do the asymmetries first appear only at some point after birth, starting from an initial state of bilateral equivalence or symmetry at birth, or are the hemispheres instead functionally asymmetrical from the start? A related question is whet.her functional asym­ met.ries can be traced to some lat.eral bias in the structural development of the hemispheres, such t.hat. one hemisphere matures in advance of t.he other. Thus, the term "emergence" in t.he t.itle of this chapt.er might. refer either to functional asymmetries in infant.s or t.o the embryological de­ velopment. of t.he hemispheres. An underlying assumpt.ion of this chapter is that t.he ontogeny of functional asymmetries is influenced by an asymmetry in the formation and physical maturat.ion of t.he cerebral hemispheres. Bot.h issues will be addressed in the following discussion, beginning wit.h a review of behavioral evidence for percept.ual-cognitive asymmetries in early infancy, and ending wit.h a proposed model for a lateralizing gradient. in the neuroembryologic emergence of the cerebral hemispheres during prenatal development. As for the development of functional asymmetries, Broca (1865) himself speculated that. lan­ gnage becomes lateralized to the left hemisphere during language development (see Bever, 1978). Lat.er, Samuel Ort.on (1937) expanded on this concept of "developmental lateralization" in his influential theory that dyslexic children suffer from a failure to establish cerebral dominance for language developmentally. More recently, Lenneberg (1967) furt.her detailed the model of develop­ ment.al change in lateralization of functions, proposing a critical period for language development. , and hence for t.he progressive est.ablishment. of left-hemisphere language dominance, during t.he period between 2 years and puberty. More important for the present discussion, however, his model explicitly assumed that the child's cerebral hemispheres are equal in their capabilit.y t.o acquire language, a trait referred to as "equipotentiality," until at least 2 years of age.

Forecasting Java Software Evolution Trends Employing Network Models

The evolution of networks representing systems in various domains, including social networks, has been extensively studied enabling the development of growth models which govern their behavior over time. The architecture of software systems can also be naturally represented in the form of networks, whose properties change as software evolves. In this paper we attempt to model several aspects of graphs representing object-oriented software systems as they evolve over a number of versions. The goal is to develop a prediction model by considering global phenomena such as preferential attachment, past evolutionary trends such as the tendency of classes to create fewer relations as they age, as well as domain knowledge in terms of principles that have to be followed in object-oriented design. The derived models can provide insight into the future trends of software and potentially form the basis for eliciting improved or novel laws of software evolution. The forecasting power of the proposed model is evaluated against the actual evolution of 10 open-source projects and the achieved accuracy in the prediction of several network and software properties, which reflect the underlying system design, appears to be promising.
SMAD-Independent Down-Regulation of Caveolin-1 by TGF-β: Effects on Proliferation and Survival of Myofibroblasts

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) mediates growth-inhibitory effects on most target cells via activation of the canonical SMAD signaling pathway. This growth-inhibitory activity may be coupled with cellular differentiation. Our studies demonstrate that TGF-β1 inhibits proliferation of primary, non-transformed human lung fibroblasts in association with the induction of myofibroblast differentiation. Differentiated myofibroblasts maintain the capacity to proliferate in response to exogenous mitogenic stimuli and are resistant to serum deprivation-induced apoptosis. These proliferative and anti-apoptotic properties of myofibroblasts are related, in part, to the down-regulation of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) by TGF-β1. Cav-1 down-regulation is mediated by early activation of p38 MAPK and does not require SMAD signaling. In contrast, myofibroblast differentiation is dependent on activation of the SMAD pathway, but not on p38 MAPK. Thus, combinatorial signaling by TGF-β1 of myofibroblast differentiation and down-regulation of Cav-1 by SMAD and p38 MAPK pathways, respectively, confer proliferative and apoptosis-resistant properties to myofibroblasts. Selective targeting of this SMAD-independent, p38-MAPK/Cav-1-dependent pathway is likely to be effective in the treatment of pathological conditions characterized by TGF-β signaling and myofibroblast activation.
'It's a case of access.' The problematics of accessing research participants

The problematics of accessing res participants have been largely under-stated in the education research literature. This article discusses two case studies which illustrate the complexity of the process of access. This is complexity beyond ethical consent; it is the complexity of gaining access to research sites and participants and of ongoing negotiation concerning aspects of access, especially when the stakes are high for participants. In this article we first set out what is already known in the literature about challenges and strategies of access. Next, we evaluate our own experiences of access with others. Our analysis reveals key findings: a) the relevance of insider/outsider status; b) the need to engage in repeated negotiations to obtain the agreement and consent of gatekeepers; c) the value of identifying kaiārahi (guides) and building relationships; d) the importance of understanding organisational culture, power dynamics of relationships and of knowledge production; and e) the significance of operating in a transparent manner around researcher identity and the nature of the specific study. A research plan may be approved as ethical but may not prove to be practical when the researcher tries to enact it, thus necessitating modification. The challenge becomes finding a practice that is ethical for a particular group and context. Lastly, we propose that education researchers who have negotiated the power dynamics to build relationships among kaiārahi, gatekeepers and participants need to communicate their knowledge and experiences of accessing research participants with other researchers.
Gender Differences in the Relationship between Job Instability and Depression: A Preliminary Study

Stress factors in the workplace can affect workers mental health, increasing the risk of developing psychological disorders. Different factors affect the relationship between the perception of safety in the workplace and mental health: security of workplace, quality of relationships and internal communication, gender and type of role. Longitudinal studies showed that a higher level of job insecurity, flexibility and low social support can negatively affect mental health, with high correlations to depressive and anxiety disorders. Furthermore, differences in the reaction to job stress related to the gender have been reported in literature. In this preliminary study we investigated the relationship between type of contractual form, gender, subjective perception of safety in work place, salary and personal relationship considering a sample of 30 subjects (16 with permanent job, 14 with temporary job). We evaluated the subjective perception of stress (PSS), the level of anxiety and depression (BDI and STAY). Quality of relationships with colleagues, hygiene in workplace, level of education and adherence to studies were also considered. The results of GLM analysis shown significant correlations between the type of contractual form, gender and the level of depression (BDI). Furthermore, we found a non significant trend between job stability and gender, and STAI and salary. iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor. org
Detection of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in calf fecal samples by direct immunofluorescence assay.

The aim of this study was to produce a conjugate containing anti-Cryptosporidium parvum polyclonal antibodies and standardize a Direct Immunofluorescence Assay (DIF) for detecting C. parvum oocysts in fecal samples from calves. In order to obtain anti-C. parvum polyclonal antibodies, two New Zealand rabbits were immunized with a purified solution of C. parvum oocysts and Freund's adjuvant. Purification of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) fraction was performed by means of precipitation in ammonium sulfate and chromatography using a DEAE-cellulose column. The anti-C. parvum polyclonal antibody titer was determined by means of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The rabbit anti-C. parvum IgG fraction was conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate and standardization of the DIF was performed using various dilutions of conjugate on slides positive for C. parvum oocysts. The cross-reactivity of the anti-C. parvum conjugate was tested using oocysts of Cryptosporidium serpentis, Cryptosporidium andersoni, Escherichia coli, Eimeria sp. , and Candida sp. An anti-C. parvum conjugate was successfully produced, thus allowing standardization of DIF for detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts in fecal samples. Cross-reactivity of anti-C. parvum polyclonal antibodies with C. andersoni and C. serpentis was also observed.
Predicting Optimal Outcomes in Cognitive Therapy or Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depressed Individuals Using the Personalized Advantage Index Approach

Introduction Although psychotherapies for depression produce equivalent outcomes, individual patients respond differently to different therapies. Predictors of outcome have been identified in the context of randomized trials, but this information has not been used to predict which treatment works best for the depressed individual. In this paper, we aim to replicate a recently developed treatment selection method, using data from an RCT comparing the effects of cognitive therapy (CT) and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT). Methods 134 depressed patients completed the pre- and post-treatment BDI-II assessment. First, we identified baseline predictors and moderators. Second, individual treatment recommendations were generated by combining the identified predictors and moderators in an algorithm that produces the Personalized Advantage Index (PAI), a measure of the predicted advantage in one therapy compared to the other, using standard regression analyses and the leave-one-out cross-validation approach. Results We found five predictors (gender, employment status, anxiety, personality disorder and quality of life) and six moderators (somatic complaints, cognitive problems, paranoid symptoms, interpersonal self-sacrificing, attributional style and number of life events) of treatment outcome. The mean average PAI value was 8.9 BDI points, and 63% of the sample was predicted to have a clinically meaningful advantage in one of the therapies. Those who were randomized to their predicted optimal treatment (either CT or IPT) had an observed mean end-BDI of 11.8, while those who received their predicted non-optimal treatment had an end-BDI of 17.8 (effect size for the difference = 0.51). Discussion Depressed patients who were randomized to their predicted optimal treatment fared much better than those randomized to their predicted non-optimal treatment. The PAI provides a great opportunity for formal decision-making to improve individual patient outcomes in depression. Although the utility of the PAI approach will need to be evaluated in prospective research, this study promotes the development of a treatment selection approach that can be used in regular mental health care, advancing the goals of personalized medicine.
Scalable Purely-Discriminative Training for Word and Tree Transducers

Discriminative training methods have recently led to significant advances in the state of the art of machine translation (MT). Another promising trend is the incorporation of syntactic information into MT systems. Combining these trends is difficult for reasons of system complexity and computational complexity. The present study makes progress towards a syntax-aware MT system whose every component is trained discriminatively. Our main innovation is an approach to discriminative learning that is computationally efficient enough for large statistical MT systems, yet whose accuracy on translation sub-tasks is near the state of the art.
