Sonata: Query-Driven Network Telemetry

Operating networks depends on collecting and analyzing measurement data. Current technologies do not make it easy to do so, typically because they separate data collection (e.g., packet capture or flow monitoring) from analysis, producing either too much data to answer a general question or too little data to answer a detailed question. In this paper, we present Sonata, a network telemetry system that uses a uniform query interface to drive the joint collection and analysis of network traffic. Sonata takes the advantage of two emerging technologies---streaming analytics platforms and programmable network devices---to facilitate joint collection and analysis. Sonata allows operators to more directly express network traffic analysis tasks in terms of a high-level language. The underlying runtime partitions each query into a portion that runs on the switch and another that runs on the streaming analytics platform iteratively refines the query to efficiently capture only the traffic that pertains to the operator's query, and exploits sketches to reduce state in switches in exchange for more approximate results. Through an evaluation of a prototype implementation, we demonstrate that Sonata can support a wide range of network telemetry tasks with less state in the network, and lower data rates to streaming analytics systems, than current approaches can achieve.
A systematic review of the effects of casting on equinus in children with cerebral palsy: an evidence report of the AACPDM

This systematic review examines the effects of casting, either alone or in combination with botulinum toxin type A (BTX‐A), on equinus in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Comparisons are made between casting alone and no treatment, between casting alone and BTX‐A alone, between combined casting and BTX‐A and each treatment by itself, and between casting followed by BTX‐A and BTX‐A followed by casting. A search of PUBMED, CINAHL, Proquest Health and Medical Complete, Cochrane Database of Systematic reviews, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), OTseeker, Database of Reviews of Effectiveness (DARE), and Infotrieve yielded 184 citations. Articles were included in the review if they reported the effects of an intervention using casting for equinus in particpants with CP aged 20 or less, if they appeared in a peer‐reviewed scholarly journal in 1970 or later, with no language restriction, and if casting was not used in conjunction with surgery. Twenty‐two articles were selected, including seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs). There is little evidence that casting is superior to no casting, but the protocols of casting in current use have not been compared with no treatment in any RCT. There is no strong and consistent evidence that combining casting and BTX‐A is superior to using either intervention alone, or that either casting or BTX‐A is superior to the other immediately after treatment. Finally, there is no evidence that order of treatment (casting before BTX‐A versus BTX‐A before casting) affects outcome. Much of the evidence both for and against differences is weak, and results may be explained by methodological limitations. Future research needs to use adequate sample sizes, long‐term follow‐ups, and broader and more global measures.

Reduced health-related quality of life in former North Sea divers is associated with decompression sickness.

BACKGROUND Diving is associated with long-term effects on several organ systems. AIM The objective was to investigate the impact of decompression sickness (DCS) and diving exposure on health-related quality of life (HRQL) in former Norwegian North Sea divers. METHODS HRQL was recorded by a questionnaire in the cohort of 375 Norwegian North Sea divers registered before 1990. Demographic data, relevant health data and data on diving education, history of DCS and SF-36 were recorded in 230 divers. RESULTS All SF-36 sub-scores were significantly reduced compared with Norwegian norms. Reduced scores were seen for all scales among divers who reported previous DCS compared to those without DCS. A decreasing trend in scores was seen when comparing no DCS, skin or joint DCS and neurological DCS. There was a decreasing trend in scores related to number of days in saturation and maximal depth. Stratification on DCS showed that the impact of saturation diving was present only in divers with DCS. CONCLUSIONS HRQL was reduced in this study sample of divers. Having had DCS during the diving career contributed significantly to the reduction in all SF-36 scales, and apparently neurological DCS has the most pronounced impact. Cumulative diving exposure including days in saturation and maximal depth contributed to a reduced HRQL.
A Robust Control Strategy for UPFC to Improve Transient Stability Using Fuzzy Bang - Bang Control

Unified power flow controller (UPFC) has been widely used to enhance damping of power swings. The control strategy adopted to mitigate power system oscillations in an effective and robust manner is the key issue. Various control methods used to improve the transient stability based on optimal parameters, state variables and injection model were studied. A scheme based on fuzzy bang-bang control is proposed for UPFC in this paper. Using fuzzy logic control (FLC) based on bang-bang control; the UPFC will contribute to the damping of power swings without deteriorating the effect of the other power oscillation damping (POD) devices. The damping effect is robust with respect to loading condition, fault location and network structure. Furthermore, the control inputs are based on rotor-angle signals that are estimated from voltage and power measurements. The FLC design is based on Lyapunov function analysis and is simulated on a single generator power system model. Numerical simulations show that the performance of controller is effective for both single-phase and three-phase fault. This single generator approach can be extended to multi-generator systems.
Research on Detection and Modification System Based on Virtual Panorama

In recent years, Web VR has developed rapidly in the wave of VR with its easy accessibility and easy development, and the virtual panorama is particularly prominent. With its comprehensive and vivid display of things, it gradually replaces pictures as display media and information carriers. However, in today’s highly competitive environment, it is necessary to improve the stereoscopic and 3D nature of virtual panorama rendering. This paper aims to combine the image detection with the virtual panorama to increase the stereoscopic and 3D nature of the virtual panorama.
Limb Differences in the Therapeutic Effects of Complex Decongestive Therapy on Edema, Quality of Life, and Satisfaction in Lymphedema Patients

Objective To investigate the changing patterns of edema, quality of life (QOL), and patient-satisfaction after complex decongestive therapy (CDT) in three trajectories: arm lymphedema (AL), secondary leg lymphedema (LL) and primary leg lymphedema (PL). Methods Candidates for AL (n=35), LL (n=35) and PL (n=14) were identified from prospective databases. The patients were treated with CDT for 2 weeks, and lymphedema volume was measured before and immediately following the therapy. Patients then self-administered home therapy for 3 months and presented for a follow-up visit. The Korean version of Short Form-36 (SF-36) was used to assess QOL, and we administered a study-specific satisfaction survey. Results There was no significant difference in the volume reductions between the 3 groups. There were no significant differences in all of the measures between PL and LL. Overall initial QOL was significantly lower in patients with LL than in patients with AL. SF-36 scores post-CDT did not differ significantly between AL and LL. Clinically significant differences were noted between AL and LL in the mean values of the satisfaction survey. Conclusion AL, LL, and PL may have different longitudinal courses. We suggest that lower extremity lymphedema patients present more favorable outcomes after CDT with respect to QOL and satisfaction than upper extremity lymphedema patients. Clinicians should approach patients with different therapeutic considerations specific to each type or region of lymphedema before using CDT in clinical practice.

In vitro Effects of Albendazole on Raillietina echinobothrida, the Cestode of Chicken, Gallus domesticus

Albendazole, a member of benzimidazole group of compounds, has been shown to have a broad spectrum activity against all classes of helminth parasites. Although it has also been experimentally proven to be effective against cestode infection of poultry, the actual effects of the drug are not yet described. The present in vitro study demonstrated that the commercial prescription drug Zentel® was significantly effective against adult Raillietina echinobothrida Mégnin, the major cestode parasite of domestic chicken, Gallus domesticus Linnaeus. It clearly exhibited dose-dependent lethal activity at the different concentrations that were tested. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the drug caused extensive structural alterations on the body surface of the cestode. Severe contraction and shrinkage were evident throughout the entire length of the body. The suckers on the scolex became invaginated due to shrinkage. The distinct body segments, the proglottides, were completely distorted. The fine hairy microtriches on the tegument were obliterated and in its place were formed abnormal clumps of tissues. The results of this investigation are in favor of the use of albendazole as a drug of choice in the management of poultry helminthiasis.
Tunable dispersion properties of liquid crystal infiltrated into a two-dimensional photonic crystal

Tunable dispersion properties of liquid crystal (LC) infiltrated into a two-dimensional silicon photonic crystal (PC) are presented. For the analysis of refraction tuning, polarization splitting and superprism effect, we make use of the variations of the dispersion curves as a function of the orientation of the optic axis of the LC. In particular, we show that the light propagation angle in the PC becomes continuously tunable by reorienting the optic axis of the LC; at a certain incident angle an extreme sensitivity of the propagation angle as a function of the orientation of the optic axis of the LC occurs. Moreover, the splitting of the transverse magnetic and transverse electric polarizations of light is substantially larger than the splitting in a conventional bulk anisotropic medium. This splitting angle can also be well controlled by adjusting the optic axis orientation of the LC. Furthermore, the variation of optic axis orientation also modifies the sharp corners of the dispersion curve, which in turn gives an excellent control of the superprism effect in the PC.
Recovery from Adolescent Anorexia Nervosa and Associations with Diurnal Patterns of Salivary Stress Hormones: A Case Report

In the neurodevelopment of adolescent anorexia nervosa (AN), dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is proposed to be a central component. Furthermore, a therapeutic milieu focusing on affect regulation can contribute much to treatment, given the emotional processing difficulties associated with this disorder. Studies of HPA axis function following such specialist treatments for adolescent AN, however, are rare. This study describes the diurnal pattern of HPA axis activation, including the cortisol awakening response (CAR), in a 16-year-old female diagnosed with AN both during illness and at clinical recovery following milieu therapy with a focus on affect regulation. Specialised single-case study statistics were used to assess whether the patient's data were significantly different from the healthy “norm” at illness and recovery. During illness, her measure of affective problems was outside of the normal range and cortisol and DHEA secretory profiles were significantly elevated across the diurnal period. However, at recovery both her affective state and HPA axis function became comparable to healthy controls. This case study suggests that salivary markers of HPA axis function can be feasibly incorporated into the clinical regime within a specialist adolescent AN residential service and could be used by clinicians to monitor prognosis and interventions.
Radiation Damage Effects by Molecular Dynamics Simulation in ${\rm BaTiO}_{3}$  Ferroelectric Crystal

Perovskite ferroelectrics have high endurance to radiation. In order to understand the mechanism at the atomic level, molecular dynamics simulation is applied to investigate the process of defects generation and displacement cascades in <formula formulatype="inline"><tex Notation="TeX">${\rm BaTiO}_{3}$</tex> </formula> crystal. The calculated average threshold displacement energy of O, Ba and Ti atom is 53 eV, 70 eV, and 119 eV, respectively, so the number of O defects is larger than that of Ba and Ti defects. Furthermore, the simulations show that the initial movement direction of the primary knock-on atom (PKA) has significant influence on the number of defects because of different collision type (glancing collisions or direct knocks), and the number of Frenkel defects does not simply increase with increasing PKA energy due to the annealing effect. This investigation of the collision cascades is helpful to understand the radiation damage in <formula formulatype="inline"><tex Notation="TeX">${\rm BaTiO}_{3}$</tex></formula> crystal and may offer useful guidelines to the design and applications for the practical devices.
Nutraceuticals and antioxidant properties of Lonicera japonica Thunb. as affected by heating time

ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of different heating times (30–150 min) at 100°C on nutraceuticals and antioxidant properties of Lonicera japonica Thunb. (LJ). Total phenolic, phenolic acid (chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, and 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid) and flavonoids (rutin, quercetin, and luteolin) in LJ were significantly increased after heat treatments. Antioxidant activities, such as DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, FRAP and reducing power, of LJ, were improved after heating. Antioxidant activities were positively correlated with total phenolic, total flavonoid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and quercetin contents.
Disruption of membrane cholesterol organization impairs the concerted activity of PIEZO1 channel clusters

The human mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO1 is gated by membrane tension and regulates essential biological processes such as vascular development and erythrocyte volume homeostasis. Currently, little is known about PIEZO1 plasma membrane localization and organization. Using a PIEZO1-GFP fusion protein, we investigated whether cholesterol enrichment or depletion by methyl-β-Cyclodextrin (MBCD) and disruption of membrane cholesterol organization by dynasore affects PIEZO1-GFP’s response to mechanical force. Electrophysiological recordings in the cell-attached configuration revealed that MBCD caused a rightward shift in the PIEZO1-GFP pressure-response curve, increased channel latency in response to mechanical stimuli and markedly slowed channel inactivation. The same effects were seen in native PIEZO1 in N2A cells. STORM super-resolution imaging revealed that, at the nano-scale, PIEZO1-GFP channels in the membrane associate as clusters sensitive to membrane manipulation. Both cluster distribution and diffusion rates were affected by treatment with MBCD (5 mM). Supplementation of poly-unsaturated fatty acids appeared to sensitize the PIEZO1-GFP response to applied pressure. Together, our results indicate that PIEZO1 function is directly dependent on the membrane mechanical properties and lateral organization of membrane cholesterol domains which coordinates the concerted activity of PIEZO1 channels. SUMMARY The essential mammalian mechanosensitive channel PIEZO1 organizes in the plasma membrane into nanometric clusters which depend on the integrity of cholesterol domains to rapidly detect applied force and especially inactivate syncronously, the most commonly altered feature of PIEZO1 in pathology.
ELFS: English language from SQL

In this paper we describe a system which, given a query in SQL-like relational database language, will display its meaning in clear, unambiguous natural language. The syntax-driven translation mechanism is independent of the application domain. It has direct applications in designing computer-based SQL tutorial systems and program debugging systems. The research results obtained in the paper will also be useful in query optimization and design of a more user-friendly language front-endfor casual users.

Foreign listings , US equity markets , and the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act

This paper examines the effects of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) by studying both foreign firms’ decisions to list in the US and local market stock price reactions to US listing announcements. We have three main findings: First, we estimate that if SOX was a complete surprise to the market, US equity values would increase between six and eleven percent. Second, small firms do not react differently to SOX than large firms. Third, minority investors place greater value on the increased manager accountability imposed by SOX than on the costs associated with the increased accountability. In summary, we find no evidence that SOX impose substantial costs on US listed firms. JEL classification: G3, G18
Kinetics of lymphocytes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: studies using continuous 3H-thymidine infusion in two patients.

Two patients with typical chronic lymphocytic leukemia received a continuous infusion of 3H-thymidine for 7 days. The production rate of lymphocytes was low in the lymph nodes, the marrow, and the blood. The fraction of newly formed lymphocytes appearing in the blood per day was only about 0.5%. The absolute production rate of blood lymphocytes however was very high, 690 cells/cu mm blood/day in one patient and 725 cells/cu mm/day in the other. The daily accumulation of newly produced lymphocytes in the circulating blood was estimated to be 3.0 x 109 cells. Most of these newly formed cells were lost from the blood lymphocyte compartment within 3 wk. They are considered to be short-lived lymphocytes with half-lives of 3-8 days. About 90% of the blood lymphocytes were long-lived with a turnover time in excess of 1 yr in the blood lymphocyte compartment. The short-lived cells were both large and small lymphocytes, the long-lived cells were almost exclusively small lymphocytes. Lymphoid cell proliferation was virtually absent in the blood, very low in the marrow, and marked in the enlarged lymph nodes. The exchange of lymphocytes seemed to be partially intact between lymph nodes and blood but more or less completely blocked between marrow and blood.
A Hybrid Token-CDMA MAC Protocol for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Token-passing medium access control (MAC) protocols are gaining interest among wireless ad hoc network researchers as they provide unrivaled advantages over the existing IEEE 802.11 standards. This paper introduces a hybrid token-code division multiple access (CDMA) MAC protocol that is based on a token-passing scheme with the incorporation of CDMA. With its unique CDMA feature, the proposed MAC is able to support multiple simultaneous transmissions. The proposed protocol provides both quality of service (QoS) and high network resource utilization while ensuring the stability of the network. This paper examines the performance of the proposed MAC scheme by simulation and compares its performance against that of other MAC protocols that have appeared in the literature. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed MAC scheme is effective in decreasing the packet delay and significantly shortens the length of the queue. The input traffic model used in the simulation is a two-state Markov-Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP). The data rate QoS is enforced by implementing a modified leaky bucket mechanism in the proposed MAC scheme. The simulation also takes into account channel link errors caused by the wireless link by implementing a multilayered Gilbert-Elliot model.
Geometric mesh partitioning: implementation and experiments

We investigate a method of dividing an irregular mesh into equal-sized pieces with few interconnecting edges. The method's novel feature is that it exploits the geometric coordinates of the mesh vertices. It is based on theoretical work of Miller, Teng, Thurston, and Vavasis, who showed that certain classes of "well-shaped" finite element meshes have good separators. The geometric method is quite simple to implement: we describe a Matlab code for it in some detail. The method is also quite efficient and effective: we compare it with some other methods, including spectral bisection. <<ETX>>

A linear measure of Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET) efficiency incorporating a shot noise uncertainty model for fluorescence microscopy intensity images

We propose a linear measure of the Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET) efficiency derived in joint, donor and acceptor, intensity space and compare it quantitatively with the conventional ratiometric FRET measure normally used for FRET fluorescence microscopy images. Because of the low signal-to-noise characteristic of these images, particularly time-lapse images, we determine a quantitative model of shot noise and combine it with our measure. This provides a single measure of the certainty of FRET events that can be used as a pixel-wise classifier of FRET images. We evaluate our measures quantitatively by simulating photon emission under realistic conditions and demonstrate: linearity with FRET efficiency; less bias to shot noise than the ratio; and high correlation (r = 0.96) between our FRET certainty measure and SNR.
