Electrical energy quality role on the globe

The end-consumers need high quality of electrical energy like safe, continuous voltage supply with the required current at constant rms values and at constant frequency, then pure sinusoid waveform of voltage. If the rated voltage of computers will be dropping down to its 75% the disturbance in their operation appears and at 50% they will loose their ability for work, then the acquired data, the envisaged commands will be lost. Flicker occurs when high power is fluctuating providing changes in voltage that makes the human eyes fatigue. Long-term flicker severity index must be less than unity otherwise it jeopardizes the smooth operation of other consumers In the vicinity of huge arc furnaces in urban area networks a basic flicker index ranging between 0.2 and 0.25 was recorded. Harmonic spectrum is different if computers working only in a room, then the total harmonic distortion was 3.47%. When luminescent light sources were also working the distortion increased up to 4.71% and when welding equipment were added in a workshop the total harmonic distortion went up to 10.98%. If it reaches 10% then the acquired data, commands, control signals will be lost, the operation of consumers and manufacturing process will be out of order, thus re-installation or even repair is needed for the computers.
DISMI - an intent interface for application-centric transport network services

Application-centric networking is a novel approach to construct transport networks that allows application-specific requirements to be taken into account through the entire service provisioning process: the service offered to each application is differentiated at each layer of the transport network, from IP to optical. This approach replaces the grooming of traffic with different requirements into a shared path in the transport layer, and allows for a finer control and utilization of network resources by network operators. To make this concept viable, an interface for requesting a connectivity service by applications requires an abstraction with respect to the various underlying network technologies. Interfaces based on the concept of Intents provide such an abstraction: applications can describe what they need from the network (their requirements) rather than how to achieve them. This paper describes the design and implementation of the solution we propose: DISMI, the Intent-based North-Bound Interface of a network controller.
Attack Processes Found on the Internet

Abstract : In this paper, we show that simple, cheap and easily deployable honeypots can help to get a better understanding of the attack processes that machines in unclassified networks are facing. Acquiring this knowledge is a prerequisite for the sound design and implementation of efficient intrusion tolerant systems. We propose some in depth analyses carried out on data gathered during a 10 months period by several honeypots. We highlight the need for a well defined set up of honeypots, replicated in many diverse locations. Such an environment would enable the scientific community to answer the remaining open issues described here after.
A second-order volterra filter based control of SPV-DSTATCOM system to achieve Lyapunov's stability

In this paper, a second-order Volterra filter is used in association with Lyapunov's stability theory to generate the reference currents for a SPV-DSTATCOM (solar photovoltaic-distribution static compensator) system in the distribution system. The SPV-DSTATCOM system is integrated to the grid to compensate a nonlinear load while supplying SPV active power to the grid. The system is implemented on a developed prototype, under balanced, unbalanced loading conditions and variable insolation conditions. The system has a fast response. Moreover, the harmonic distortion of the grid currents is observed under the IEEE-519 standard.
Delivery of Lipoplexes for Genotherapy of Solid Tumours: Role of Vascular Endothelial Cells

The cells constituting a solid tumour may vary considerably due to biological disparities, but for a solid tumour to pose as a threat to its host, an adequate blood supply has to be established. Although neovascularisation may have dire consequences for the host, it provides a common route by which tumours in general may be reached and eradicated by drugs. The fact that a tumour's vasculature is relatively more permeable than healthy host tissue means that selective delivery of drugs may be achieved. A closer examination of the role played by the cells making up the tumour vascular bed, vascular endothelial cells (VECs), is required to facilitate design of ways for enhancing drug delivery to solid tumours via the vascular route.
Epileptic Electroencephalography Profile Associates with Attention Problems in Children with Fragile X Syndrome: Review and Case Series

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability and a variant of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The FXS population is quite heterogeneous with respect to comorbidities, which implies the need for a personalized medicine approach, relying on biomarkers or endophenotypes to guide treatment. There is evidence that quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) endophenotype-guided treatments can support increased clinical benefit by considering the patient's neurophysiological profile. We describe a case series of 11 children diagnosed with FXS, aged one to 14 years, mean 4.6 years. Case data are based on longitudinal clinically-observed reports by attending physicians for comorbid symptoms including awake and asleep EEG profiles. We tabulate the comorbid EEG symptoms in this case series, and relate them to the literature on EEG endophenotypes and associated treatment options. The two most common endophenotypes in the data were diffuse slow oscillations and epileptiform EEG, which have been associated with attention and epilepsy respectively. This observation agrees with reported prevalence of comorbid behavioral symptoms for FXS. In this sample of FXS children, attention problems were found in 37% (4 of 11), and epileptic seizures in 45% (5 of 11). Attention problems were found to associate with the epilepsy endophenotype. From the synthesis of this case series and literature review, we argue that the evidence-based personalized treatment approach, exemplified by neurofeedback, could benefit FXS children by focusing on observable, specific characteristics of comorbid disease symptoms.
The use of effective fragment potentials in the design and synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers for the group recognition of PCBs.

Effective fragment potential (EFP) molecular modeling approaches have been applied for the first time to the rational design of molecularly imprinted polymers for the group recognition of selected polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). EFP calculations were benchmarked using the S22 compound test set and returned energies within 1 kcal mol(-1) of the reported gold standard CCSD(T) approach, but without the computational cost. EFP allowed the rapid identification of trimethylstyrene (TMS) and pentafluorostyrene (PFS) as the functional monomers of choice for the templates (T) 1,2,3,4,5-pentachlorobenzene (4) and for 1,2,3-trichlorobenzne (5) respectively. Ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate was the cross linker (CL) of choice. Using a 1 : 2 : 10 (T : FM : CL) ratio for 4 (TMS as the FM; MIP(4-TMS)) gave imprinting factors (IF) of 2.1; and a 15 : 6 : 29 ratio for 5 gave an IF of 3.66 (PFS as FM; MIP(5-PFS)). MIP(4-TMS) and MIP(5-PFS) showed low levels recognition for non-chlorinated templates with IF values ranging of 1.05, 1.17 and 1.13, 1.54 for toluene (14) and 2,6-dimethylaniline (12) respectively. Higher levels of recognition were observed for the chlorinated analogues 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene (11) and 2,4,6-trichloroaniline (12) with IF values of 1.20, 1.64 and 1.89, 2.66 for MIP(4-TMS) and MIP(5-PFS) respectively suggesting these MIPs were suitable for fragment imprinting of PCBs. Fragment imprinting of 2,2',3,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (15), 2,3,3',4,4'-pentachlorobiphenyl (16) and 2,2',3,3',4,5,6'-heptachlorobiphenyl (17) with MIP(4-TMS) gave IF values of 1.38, 1.38 and 1.41 respectively. MIP(5-PFS) performed significantly better with IF values of 6.57, 3.46 and 5.80 for 15-17 respectively. Moreover MIP(5-PFS) displayed a higher binding capacity than MIP(4-TMS) and was less susceptible to non-specific binding influences.
A new methodology for evaluating various methods of 3D reconstruction from single image

Consumer market is recently experiencing 3D display. To prepare the market for new era of 3D TV, the 3D display popularity can be increased by making ease of capturing or generating of stereo information. The results of recent research on 3D structure modeling from single images can be used to generate stereo images. We evaluate some of typical 3D reconstruction methods from single images in relation of using the results in 3D display. The evaluation is not only based on the experts' opinions and statistic test but also an objective methodology is introduced. Only planar surfaces, like as in any man made structure scenes, are used in the objective evaluation. The number of planes is varied in a controlled way. Three popular and classic methods are chosen for the evaluation with this new methodology. And the evaluation result is consistent with the statistical result of human inquiries.
Large-area formation of self-aligned crystalline domains of organic semiconductors on transistor channels using CONNECT

Significance Solution-processed organic electronics are expected to pave the way for low-cost large-area electronics with new and exciting applications. However, realizing solution-processed organic electronics requires densely packed transistors with patterned and precisely registered organic semiconductors (OSCs) within the transistor channel with uniform electrical properties over a large area, a task that remains a significant challenge. To address such a challenge, we have developed an innovative technique that generates self-patterned and self-registered OSC film with low variability in electrical properties over a large area. We have fabricated highest density of transistors with a yield of 99%, along with various logic circuits. This work significantly advances organic electronics field to enable large-scale circuit fabrication in a facile and economical manner. The electronic properties of solution-processable small-molecule organic semiconductors (OSCs) have rapidly improved in recent years, rendering them highly promising for various low-cost large-area electronic applications. However, practical applications of organic electronics require patterned and precisely registered OSC films within the transistor channel region with uniform electrical properties over a large area, a task that remains a significant challenge. Here, we present a technique termed “controlled OSC nucleation and extension for circuits” (CONNECT), which uses differential surface energy and solution shearing to simultaneously generate patterned and precisely registered OSC thin films within the channel region and with aligned crystalline domains, resulting in low device-to-device variability. We have fabricated transistor density as high as 840 dpi, with a yield of 99%. We have successfully built various logic gates and a 2-bit half-adder circuit, demonstrating the practical applicability of our technique for large-scale circuit fabrication.
Polymerization of C-terminally truncated Mycobacterium tuberculosis FtsZ is unlikely to be physiologically relevant.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis FtsZ (MtbFtsZ) exhibits unusually slow polymerization kinetics in vitro (White et al., 2000). Recently, Anand et al. (2004) hypothesized that removal of the non-conserved C terminus would bestow rapid polymerization to MtbFtsZ, comparable to the much faster-polymerizing Escherichia coli FtsZ (EcFtsZ) (Mukherjee & Lutkenhaus, 1999). Indeed, MtbFtsZ(DC169), in which the last 169 residues were deleted (D211–379; Fig. 1), was found to polymerize much faster than wild-type MtbFtsZ (Anand et al., 2004). It also formed polymers that were 1? 5-times thicker and that exhibited an altered morphology, compared with wild-type MtbFtsZ protofilaments (White et al., 2000). We show here, however, that the three-dimensional structure of MtbFtsZ(DC169) is so perturbed – the truncation exposes a large hydrophobic patch that is normally buried (Fig. 2) – that polymerization of MtbFtsZ(DC169) is unlikely to be physiologically relevant. The cause(s) of the slow polymerization of wild-type MtbFtsZ must therefore be sought elsewhere.
Simulations, Realizations, and Theories of Life

The phrase "artificial life," as interpreted by participants of this workshop, includes not only "computer simulation," but also "computer realization. " In the area of artificial intelligence, Searle 2 0 has called the simulation school "weak A I " and the realization school "strong A I . " The hope of "strong" artificial life was stated by Langton 1 0 : "We would like to build models that are so lifelike that they would cease to be models of life and become examples of life themselves. " Very l i t t le has been said at this workshop about how we would distinguish computer simulations from realizations of life, and virtually nothing has been said about how these relate to theories of life, that is, how the living can be distinguished from the non-living. The aim of this paper is to begin such a discussion. I shall present three main ideas. First, simulations and realizations belong to different categories of modeling. Simulations are metaphorical models that symbolically "stand for" something else. Realizations are literal, material models that implement functions. Therefore, accuracy in a simulation need have no relation to quality of function in a realization. Secondly, the criteria for good simulations and realizations of a system depend on our theory of the system. The criteria for good theories depend on more than mimicry, e.g., Turing Tests. Lastly, our theory of living systems must include evolvability. Evolution requires the distinction between symbolic genotypes, material phenotypes, and selective environments. Each
Propositional attitude framework requirements

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to focus attention on various important aspects and problems of propositional attitude representation in the hope of engendering fruitful discussion on these topics, and in particular in the hope that such discussion might lead to a determination of useful criteria for evaluating the merits and drawbacks of individual systems. As such, the paper does not purport to offer ‘the solutions’ to the mentioned problems, nor are the problems discussed here intended to be an exhaustive catalogue of the problems that must be solved by successful systems. The problems are, however, advanced as a useful set of criteria for evaluating systems by considering which problems are tackled, and how they are tackled.
FHEDN: A based on context modeling Feature Hierarchy Encoder-Decoder Network for face detection

Because of affected by weather conditions, camera pose and range, etc. Objects are usually small, blur, occluded and diverse pose in the images gathered from outdoor surveillance cameras or access control system. It is challenging and important to detect faces precisely for face recognition system in the field of public security. In this paper, we design a based on context modeling structure named Feature Hierarchy Encoder-Decoder Network for face detection(FHEDN), which can detect small, blur and occluded face with hierarchy by hierarchy from the end to the beginning likes encoder-decoder in a single network. The proposed network is consist of multiple context modeling and prediction modules, which are in order to detect small, blur, occluded and diverse pose faces. In addition, we analyse the influence of distribution of training set, scale of default box and receipt field size to detection performance in implement stage. Demonstrated by experiments, Our network achieves promising performance on WIDER FACE and FDDB benchmarks.
ON CUTS IN ULTRAPRODUCTS OF LINEAR ORDERS II

Abstract We continue our study of the class ${\cal C}\left( D \right)$, where D is a uniform ultrafilter on a cardinal κ and ${\cal C}\left( D \right)$ is the class of all pairs $\left( {{\theta _1},{\theta _2}} \right)$, where $\left( {{\theta _1},{\theta _2}} \right)$ is the cofinality of a cut in ${J^\kappa }/D$ and J is some ${\left( {{\theta _1} + {\theta _2}} \right)^ + }$-saturated dense linear order. We give a combinatorial characterization of the class ${\cal C}\left( D \right)$. We also show that if $\left( {{\theta _1},{\theta _2}} \right) \in {\cal C}\left( D \right)$ and D is ${\aleph _1}$-complete or ${\theta _1} + {\theta _2} > {2^\kappa }$, then ${\theta _1} = {\theta _2}$.
HIERARCHICAL COMPUTATION OF PL HARMONIC EMBEDDINGS

With the advent of laser scanning systems, extremely large colored meshes are becoming commonplace, and with them the need to efficiently store, transmit, render and edit them. One approach, which has the additional feature of supporting texture mapping is to construct multiresolution representations of meshes. This approach was developed by Lounsbery et al. [10, 11], Schröder and Sweldens [13], and Certain et al. [2].
CORRELATES BETWEEN PARENTING STYLES AND THE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: A STUDY OF SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN LAGOS STATE

Background: Emotional intelligence is a relatively recent behavioural model, rising to prominence with the work of Daniel Goleman. The study of parent-child relations has grown tremendously in recent years coupled with its implication on the emotional intelligence of students. This study examined the influence of parenting styles on emotional intelligence of senior school students in Lagos State, the commercial capital of Nigeria and a metropolitan city. Methods: Two hundred and fifty (250) students were randomly selected from five selected schools with age ranging from 15 to 19 years (mean age = 17 years) through stratified and systematic sampling techniques. The study being a survey research, made use of a questionnaire consisting of two validated subscales; the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) and the Parenting Style Inventory (PSI). Three hypotheses were raised and tested. Hypotheses one and three were analyzed using Pearson’s product moment correlation while regression analysis was employed to analyze hypothesis two. Result: In testing the relationship between parenting styles and emotional intelligence, result shows that father’s authoritative parenting style (r = 0.152, p < .005) and mother’s authoritative parenting style (r = 0.227, p < .01) contributed to the prediction of emotional intelligence. Regression analysis shows that of the six predictor variables, only mother’s authoritative parenting style (β = 1.952, t = 2.345, p<.05) could significantly predict the emotional intelligence of senior school students. Conclusion: Being emotionally intelligent adds value to life. Emotions are important to our everyday lives; hence, young people should be assisted on how to control their emotions. Parents, teachers and significant others need to provide guidance for the development emotional intelligence of these young impressionable students.
Observation of B0→D̅ 0K+K- and Evidence for Bs0→D̅ 0K+K-

The first observation of the decay B0→D¯ 0K+K- is reported from an analysis of 0.62 fb-1 of pp collision data collected with the LHCb detector. Its branching fraction is measured relative to that of the topologically similar decay B0→D¯ 0π+π- to be B(B0→D¯ 0K+K-)/B(B0→D¯ 0π+π-)=0.056±0.011±0.007,where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The significance of the signal is 5. 8σ. Evidence, with 3. 8σ significance, for Bs0→D¯ 0K+K- decays is also presented. The relative branching fraction is measured to be B(Bs0→D¯ 0K+K-)/B(B0→D¯ 0K+K-)=0.90±0.27±0.20. These channels are of interest to study the mechanisms behind hadronic B decays, and open new possibilities for CP violation analyses with larger data sets.
Resourcing machine translation with parallel treebanks

The benefits of syntax-based approaches to data-driven machine translation (MT) are clear: given the right model, a combination of hierarchical structure, constituent labels and morphological information can be exploited to produce more fluent, grammatical translation output. This has been demonstrated by the recent shift in research focus towards such linguistically motivated approaches. However, one issue facing developers of such models that is not encountered in the development of state-of-the-art string-based statistical MT (SMT) systems is the lack of available syntactically annotated training data for many languages. In this thesis, we propose a solution to the problem of limited resources for syntax-based MT by introducing a novel sub-sentential alignment algorithm for the induction of translational equivalence links between pairs of phrase structure trees. This algorithm, which operates on a language pair-independent basis, allows for the automatic generation of large-scale parallel treebanks which are useful not only for machine translation, but also across a variety of natural language processing tasks. We demonstrate the viability of our automatically generated parallel treebanks by means of a thorough evaluation process during which they are compared to a manually annotated gold standard parallel treebank both intrinsically and in an MT task. Following this, we hypothesise that these parallel treebanks are not only useful in syntax-based MT, but also have the potential to be exploited in other paradigms of MT. To this end, we carry out a large number of experiments across a variety of data sets and language pairs, in which we exploit the information encoded within the parallel treebanks in various components of phrase-based statistical MT systems. We demonstrate that improvements in translation accuracy can be achieved by enhancing SMT phrase tables with linguistically motivated phrase pairs extracted from a parallel treebank, while showing that a number of other features in SMT can also be supplemented with varying degrees of effectiveness. Finally, we examine ways in which synchronous grammars extracted from parallel treebanks can improve the quality of translation output, focussing on real translation examples from a syntax-based MT system.
1H‐MRSI pattern perturbation in a mouse glioma: the effects of acute hyperglycemia and moderate hypothermia

MR spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI), with PRESS localization, is used here to monitor the effects of acute hyperglycemia in the spectral pattern of 11 mice bearing GL261 gliomas at normothermia (36.5–37.5°C) and at hypothermia (28.5–29.5°C). These in vivo studies were complemented by ex vivo high resolution magic angle spinning (HR‐MAS) analysis of GL261 tumor samples from 6 animals sacrificed by focused microwave irradiation, and blood glucose measurements in 12 control mice. Apparent glucose levels, monitored by in vivo MRSI in brain tumors during acute hyperglycemia, rose to an average of 1.6‐fold during hypothermia (p < 0.05), while no significant changes were detected at normothermia, or in control experiments performed at euglycemia, or in normal/peritumoral brain regions. Ex vivo analysis of glioma‐bearing mouse brains at hypothermia revealed higher glucose increases in distinct regions during the acute hyperglycemic challenge (up to 6.6‐fold at the tumor center), in agreement with maximal in vivo blood glucose changes (5‐fold). Phantom studies on taurine plus glucose containing solutions explained the differences between in vivo and ex vivo measurements. Our results also indicate brain tumor heterogeneity in the four animal tumors investigated in response to a defined metabolic challenge. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
