A consideration of helical antennas for coupled resonant wireless power transfer using equivalent circuit

Recently, wireless power transfer (WPT) systems are getting large interest for charging an electric vehicle. Coupled resonant WPT proposed by MIT has considerable advantages because of its mid range transfer distance and high transmission efficiency [1] [2]. In order to put this method in practical use, design criteria of antenna should be established. Various kinds of antenna have been reported [3]. However, suitable antenna shape for an individual requirement is not cleared.
A prediction rule to identify low-risk patients with community-acquired pneumonia.

BACKGROUND There is considerable variability in rates of hospitalization of patients with community-acquired pneumonia, in part because of physicians' uncertainty in assessing the severity of illness at presentation. METHODS From our analysis of data on 14,199 adult inpatients with community-acquired pneumonia, we derived a prediction rule that stratifies patients into five classes with respect to the risk of death within 30 days. The rule was validated with 1991 data on 38,039 inpatients and with data on 2287 inpatients and outpatients in the Pneumonia Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT) cohort study. The prediction rule assigns points based on age and the presence of coexisting disease, abnormal physical findings (such as a respiratory rate of > or = 30 or a temperature of > or = 40 degrees C), and abnormal laboratory findings (such as a pH <7.35, a blood urea nitrogen concentration > or = 30 mg per deciliter [11 mmol per liter] or a sodium concentration <130 mmol per liter) at presentation. RESULTS There were no significant differences in mortality in each of the five risk classes among the three cohorts. Mortality ranged from 0.1 to 0.4 percent for class I patients (P=0.22), from 0.6 to 0.7 percent for class II (P=0.67), and from 0.9 to 2.8 percent for class III (P=0.12). Among the 1575 patients in the three lowest risk classes in the Pneumonia PORT cohort, there were only seven deaths, of which only four were pneumonia-related. The risk class was significantly associated with the risk of subsequent hospitalization among those treated as outpatients and with the use of intensive care and the number of days in the hospital among inpatients. CONCLUSIONS The prediction rule we describe accurately identifies the patients with community-acquired pneumonia who are at low risk for death and other adverse outcomes. This prediction rule may help physicians make more rational decisions about hospitalization for patients with pneumonia.
Life satisfaction determinants of older males and females

Abstract A path analysis model of life satisfaction was proposed and applied to a nationally representative sample of 806 men and 753 women aged 65 years and over. Predictor variables examined were leisure activities, employment status, health problems, income, and transportation barriers. The analysis was conducted separately for the two gender groups. The strongest predictor of life satisfaction was leisure activities. Though the order of influence varied for males and females, income, health problems, and employment status also emerged as meaningful predictors of life satisfaction. In addition, for older women transportation barriers exerted an influence on life satisfaction. For both males and females, income and health problems influenced life satisfaction indirectly via leisure activities. The implications of the findings for gerontological theory, research, and public policy are discussed.
Test-Retest Reliability for the Marital Attitude Scale

Abstract The Marital Attitude Scale (MAS) was developed by Braaten and Rosen (1998) to overcome shortcomings found in earlier marital attitude scales. This article reports test-retest reliability for the MAS. Two hundred and six participants were surveyed for this study. Of these participants, 113 were introductory psychology students and 93 were students in a child psychology course. Participants completed the 23 item MAS on two occasions, separated by six weeks. Responses from 77 males and 129 females with a mean age of 19.85 were examined using Pearson-product-moment correlation analysis. This analysis revealed a test-retest reliability of . 85.
REKTION UND SYNTAKTISCHE RELATIONEN

Government (rection) is opposed to modification, both being subordinate to dependency. Government is defined äs a type of syntactic relation between constituents A and B where B depends on A and A is inherently relational. Personal agreement affixes on the governing term (regens) and case affixes on the governed term (rectum) are described äs the two principal means of expressing government relations, and their eyolution is sketched. Two syntactic relations, that of the subject and that of the genitive attribute, are analyzed in some detail with respect to the question of whether they fall under government. A hierarchy of the familiär type is proposed for case functions and is shown to correspond to a continuum between semantic and syntactic functions, äs well äs one between modification (adjunction) and government. Finally some suggestions for the Integration of the f indings into linguistic typology and universale research are made.

Recipient Outcomes for Expanded Criteria Living Kidney Donors: The Disconnect Between Current Evidence and Practice

Older individuals or those with medical complexities are undergoing living donor nephrectomy more than ever before. Transplant outcomes for recipients of kidneys from these living expanded criteria donors are largely uncertain. We systematically reviewed studies from 1980 to June 2008 that described transplant outcomes for recipients of kidneys from expanded criteria living donors. Results were organized by the following criteria: older age, obesity, hypertension, reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR), proteinuria and hematuria. Pairs of reviewers independently evaluated each citation and abstracted data on study and donor characteristics, recipient survival, graft survival, serum creatinine and GFR. Transplant outcomes for recipients of kidneys from older donors (≥60 years) were described in 31 studies. Recipients of kidneys from older donors had poorer 5‐year patient and graft survival than recipients of kidneys from younger donors [meta‐analysis of 12 studies, 72% vs. 80%, unadjusted relative risk (RR) of survival 0.89, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83–0.95]. In meta‐regression, this association diminished over time (1980s RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.65–0.96 vs. 1990s RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.85–0.99). Few transplant outcomes were described for other expanded criteria. This disconnect between donor selection and a lack of knowledge of recipient outcomes should give transplant decision‐makers pause and sets an agenda for future research.
A Real-Time Peer-to-Peer Streaming System for Mobile Networking Environment

Peer-to-peer is emerging as a potentially disruptive technology for content distribution in the mobile Internet. In addition to the already well-known peer-to-peer file sharing, real-time peer-to-peer streaming is gaining popularity. This paper presents an effective real-time peer-to-peer streaming system for the mobile environment. The basis for the system is a scalable overlay network which groups peers into clusters according to their proximity using RTT values between peers as a criteria for the cluster selection. The actual media delivery in the system is implemented using the partial RTP stream concept: the original RTP sessions related to a media delivery are split into a number of so-called partial streams according to a pre-defined set of parameters in such a way that it allows low-complexity reassembly of the original media session in real-time at the receiving end. Partial streams also help in utilizing the upload capacity with finer granularity than just per one original stream. This is beneficial in mobile environments where bandwidth can be scarce.
Evolutionary Influenced Interaction Pattern as Indicator for the Investigation of Natural Variants Causing Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus

The importance of short membrane sequence motifs has been shown in many works and emphasizes the related sequence motif analysis. Together with specific transmembrane helix-helix interactions, the analysis of interacting sequence parts is helpful for understanding the process during membrane protein folding and in retaining the three-dimensional fold. Here we present a simple high-throughput analysis method for deriving mutational information of interacting sequence parts. Applied on aquaporin water channel proteins, our approach supports the analysis of mutational variants within different interacting subsequences and finally the investigation of natural variants which cause diseases like, for example, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. In this work we demonstrate a simple method for massive membrane protein data analysis. As shown, the presented in silico analyses provide information about interacting sequence parts which are constrained by protein evolution. We present a simple graphical visualization medium for the representation of evolutionary influenced interaction pattern pairs (EIPPs) adapted to mutagen investigations of aquaporin-2, a protein whose mutants are involved in the rare endocrine disorder known as nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, and membrane proteins in general. Furthermore, we present a new method to derive new evolutionary variations within EIPPs which can be used for further mutagen laboratory investigations.
Development of Residue Look-Up Tables and Graphical Representation of Solvent Accessibility in Proteins

We previously developed the first method to predict real valued accessible surface area in proteins, which was shown to contain more information than 100% correct predictions in a binary space of exposure states. Neural networks used for solvent accessibility predictions, however work as good predictors with invisible modeling of knowledge they learn. In view of this a direct statistical analysis of solvent accessibility of residues was desired, in terms of the contribution of residue neighbors in making them buried or exposed to solvent. Present work aims at compiling singlet to quintets of residue fragments and examining, how the solvent accessibility of residues is affected by the change in a neighboring residue in C-terminal, N-terminal or other positions of these residues. In addition, a graphical method of representing solvent accessibility was developed. Online graphical plots for all proteins in the entire Protein Data Bank (PDB) were made available on the web at www.netasa. org/ asa-view/.
Incremental Maintenance of 2-Hop Labeling of Large Graphs

Recent interests on XML, the Semantic Web, and Web ontology, among other topics, have sparked a renewed interest on graph-structured databases. A fundamental query on graphs is the reachability test of nodes. Recently, 2-hop labeling has been proposed to index a large collection of XML and/or graphs for efficient reachability tests. However, there has been few work on updates of 2-hop labeling. This is compounded by the fact that data may often change over time. In response to these, this paper studies incremental maintenance of 2-hop labeling. We identify the main reason for the inefficiency of updates of existing 2-hop labels. We propose three updatable 2-hop labelings, hybrids of 2-hop labeling, and their incremental maintenance algorithms. The proposed 2-hop labeling is derived from graph connectivity, as opposed to set cover which is used by most previous works. Our experimental evaluation illustrates the space efficiency and update performance of various kinds of 2-hop labelings. Our results show that our incremental maintenance algorithm can be two orders of magnitude faster than previous methods and the size of our 2-hop labeling can be comparable to existing 2-hop labeling. We conclude that there is a natural way to spare some index size for update performance in 2-hop labeling.
Interactive comment on “Closing the peroxy acetyl (PA) radical budget: Observations of acyl peroxy nitrates (PAN, PPN, and MPAN) during BEARPEX 2007” by B. W. LaFranchi et al

The paper presents an interesting discussion of the formation of peroxyacyl radicals in the urban plume incident on Blodgett Forest, subject to both anthropogenic and biogenic emissions, via observations of three acylperoxy nitrates. The work builds on earlier analyses, particularly by Cleary et al. (2007) and Roberts et al. (2007 (references given in paper). The analysis shows the origins of the peroxyacetyl radical and presents evidence that acetaldehyde is but one source and 4 additional sources are identified. The conclusions are drawn on the basis of analytic steady state and time dependent expressions that are solved iteratively.
A probabilistic graphical model framework for higher-order term-based representations

This thesis introduces Higher-Order Bayesian networks (HO BNs), a probabilistic graphical model framework for inference and learning over structured data. HOBNs extend the expressive power of standard Bayesian networks with random variab les ranging over domains of certain families of higher-order terms. The formalism allo ws the expression of conditional independence assumptions on the domain, which are exploite d in order to give an efficient method of defining probability distributions over the highe r-order types. Methods for probabilistic inference and model construction from data obser vations are discussed, and experimental results on real-world domains are presented.

On the Choice of m in the m Out of n Bootstrap and its Application to Condence Bounds for Extreme Percentiles y

The m out of n bootstrap Bickel et al. [1997], Politis and Romano [1994] is a modication of the ordinary bootstrap which can rectify bootstrap failure when the bootstrap sample size is n. The modication is to take bootstrap samples of size m where m ! 1 and m=n ! 0. The choice of m is an important matter, in general. In this
Research on Relations between Software Network Structure and Fault Propagation

The rapidly increasing application of software makes for the growing requirement of software quality. In key areas like aviation, aerospace and communication, a tiny software failure may brings serious consequences. Once the defects in the one or more software entities are triggered, the software faults may propagate to the extra entities and result in the partial failure of the software or even the system-wide failure. Therefore, to reduce software failure rate and assure software quality, the software fault propagation laws and influences on the software system demand more attention to be detected and controlled in the early phase. So in this paper, the complex network theories and methods are introduced into the fault propagation research of the structured software. By constructing the complex network model of structured software and abstracting the software faults into the status of nodes in the network, the software fault propagation laws and influence factors are analyzed, and the structured software fault propagation model is built.
Parallel Evaluation of Composite Aggregate Queries

Aggregate measures summarizing subsets of data are valuable in exploratory analysis and decision support, especially when dependent aggregations can be easily specified and computed. A novel class of queries, called composite subset measures, was previously introduced to allow correlated aggregate queries to be easily expressed. This paper considers how to evaluate composite subset measure queries using a large distributed system. We describe a cross-node data redistribution strategy that takes into account the nested structure of a given query. The main idea is to group data into blocks in "cube space", such that aggregations can be generated locally within each block, leveraging previously proposed optimizations per-block. The partitioning scheme allows overlap among blocks so that sliding window aggregation can be handled. Furthermore, it also guarantees that the final answer is the union of local results with no duplication and there is no need for the expensive data combination step. We identify the most important partitioning parameters and propose an optimization algorithm. We also demonstrate effectiveness of the optimizer to minimize the query response time.
Performance Analysis of Image Enhancement Using Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform and Nonlocal Means

Resolution enhancement (RE) schemes which are not based on wavelets has one of the major drawbacks of losing high frequency contents which results in blurring. The discrete wavelettransform-based (DWT) Resolution Enhancement scheme generates artifacts (due to a DWT shift-variant property). A waveletDomain approach based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) & nonlocal means (NLM) is proposed for RE of the satellite images. A satellite input image is decomposed by DT-CWT (which is nearly shift invariant) to obtain high-frequency sub bands. Here the Lanczos interpolator is used to interpolate the highfrequency sub bands & the low-resolution (LR) input image. The high frequency sub bands are passed through an NLM filter to cater for the artifacts generated by DT-CWT (despite of it’s nearly shift invariance). The filtered high-frequency sub bands and the LR input image are combined by using inverse DTCWT to obtain a resolution-enhanced image. Objective and subjective analyses show superiority of the new proposed technique over the conventional and state-of-the-art RE techniques.
Self-adaptive multithreaded applications: a case for dynamic aspect weaving

Shorter product cycles, the requirement for immediate reaction to cyber-attacks and the need for the adaptation to changing environmental conditions demand software reconfigurations to be performed at runtime, in order to reduce downtime. Especially long running applications, which have to provide continuous service should not be restarted for maintenance. They must be updated dynamically.We have developed a reconfiguration strategy allowing to identify valid reconfiguration points even in multithreaded environments, enabling dynamic application updates. The usage of dynamic aspect weaving enables us to transparently create self-adaptive applications without additional compilation steps or programming constraints in the software development process.We demonstrate how our approach can be applied to a real-world retail application of a large logistics company. We will describe the implementation of the reconfiguration aspect and our dynamic aspect weaving tool Rapier LOOM.NET.
Pupils' Perceptions of Discipline and Academic Standards in Belgian Coeducational and Single-Sex Schools

In this paper, single-sex and coeducational schools are compared in terms of pupils' perceptions of disciplinary and academic climates. Use was made of data from 68 secondary schools in Flanders (Belgium). Of these schools, 25 were mixed and 43 were single-sex (21 girls, and 22 boys, schools). Respondents were third-year students: 3370 girls and 3057 boys, aged 14 and 15 years. A multilevel analysis (HLM) was performed, taking into account the effect of parental socioeconomic status, grade point average (GPA), curriculum-enrolment, parental support and school mean SES. The results mainly indicate that girls in single-sex schools, as opposed to girls in coeducational schools, perceive their schools as placing stronger emphasis on order and control. With regard to perception of academic standards, no differences between mixed and single-sex schools appeared.
On the Consistency of Compressed Modes for Variational Problems Associated with the Schrödinger Operator

This paper provides theoretical consistency results for compressed modes. We prove that as an $L^1$ regularization term in certain nonconvex variational optimization problems vanishes, the solutions of the optimization problem and the corresponding eigenvalues converge to a sequence of Wannier-like functions and the eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian, respectively.
