A Process For Online Dynamic Learning With Cost Sensitivity In Data Mining

: Cost-sensitive classification considers the varying costs of particular incorrect sorting. Both cost-sensitive classification and online learning have been broadly researched in data mining and machine learning communities, respectively. However, very restricted study addresses an essential intersecting issue, that is, “Cost-Sensitive Online Classification". Cost of what is misclassified is definitely not considered for the measuring execution in general methodologies; cost sensitive classification considers expense of the misclassified label. In this paper we proposed, formally study this issue, and propose a new framework for Cost-Sensitive Online Classification by directly surging cost-sensitive symptoms implementing online gradient descent methods. malicious Uniform Resource Locator (URL) detection is an essential issue in web search and mining, which plays a complex role in internet protection.

ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDIABETIC ACTIVITY OF ETHANOL EXTRACTS OF PHYLLANTHUS ACIDUS LINN AND BASELLA RUBRA LINN LEAVES AGAINST STREPTOZOTOCIN INDUCED DIABETES IN RATS

The antidiabetic potentials of ethanol extracts of Phyllanthus acidus Linn (Phyllanthaceae) (EEPA) and Basella rubra Linn (Basellaceae) (EEBR) were investigated against streptozotocin induced diabetes in rats. The shade dried leaves were extracted by soxhlation using ethanol. Phytochemical studies showed that EEPA and EEBR contain significant quantities of Flavanoids, Tannins, Triterpenoids and Phytosterols. Results of acute toxicity study suggested that extracts can be considered as category 5 as per OECD guidelines 425. Antidiabetic potentials of EEPA and EEBR at doses 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg b.wt. were studied on streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats for 21 days. The obtained results were compared with the results of control, diabetic control and standard (Glibenclamide) groups. Blood glucose levels, , Lipid profile, SGOT, SGPT and ALP were analyzed at 0, 7, 14 and 21 days of study. Glycogen content in the liver and skeletal muscle was estimated after 21 days. Ethanol extracts of selected plants showed significant reduction (**P<0.01) in blood glucose levels, Lipid level, SGOT, SGPT and ALP. In contrast, elevation of HDLC, liver and muscle glycogen levels was observed in dose dependent manner. The results suggested that EEPA and EEBR (96.13% and 93.6%) are having equipotent effect compare with Glibenclamide (97.8 %) at dose of 400 mg/kg.
Federated experimentation infrastructure interconnecting sites from both Eurpe and South Korea (SmartFIRE)

The main achievement of SmartFIRE [1, 2] is the design and implementation of a shared experimental facility spanning different testbeds, which are platforms located in Europe (EU) and South Korea (KR) and offered for conducting transparent and replicable testing of networking protocols and technologies. The SmartFIRE user is able to exploit a federation of testbeds, meaning that the testbeds are capable to operate both individually as well as in a unified and collaborative manner. Before SmartFIRE, the participating testbeds in the federation were able to provide diverse resources for experimentation,
5 6-12-2010 EFFECTIVE HEURISTICS FOR NEW VENTURE FORMATION

Researchers have extensively studied how entrepreneurs use heuristics. We explore how the various heuristics that have been articulated may have a different effect on causal than on effectual entrepreneurship. Based on the distinctions between the two approaches, the paper outlines five pairs of heuristics that may affect the approach chosen and its effectiveness. We conclude that, paradoxically, people may have a proclivity towards the approach by which they are most likely to fail. This suggests that, to be successful, entrepreneurs would need to step beyond their natural preference for a particular approach or to develop ways to cope with their biases.
A Quasi-Experimental Design for the Assessment of Posttest Sensitization

Researchers have long been aware that "pretest sensitization" is a potential threat to the external validity of experimental studies. Only recently, however, has it been suggested that "posttest sensitization" might also limit the generalizability of results. This latter phenomenon would exist if the administration of a posttest caused the treatment's impact to become more (or less) pronounced. Under this condition, the treatment would work differently for Ss in the researcher's sample than for other individuals who might later receive only the treatment without the accompanying posttest. To be scientifically useful, it is imperative that the hypothesis of posttest sensitization be capable of empirical verification. A quasi-experimental design is proposed for this purpose.
A model of statistical process control of quality and cost optimization in milling industrial processes.

Quality control in milling industrial processes has been developed only as a technical control, so the quality control of raw materials, process parameters and the final products has been provided with a numerous defects and high cost production. The new paradigm of quality assurance is a preventive approach in quality control as a way to achieve production with zero defects. In this paper are presented the benefits of implementation of Statistical Process Control Methods in grinding production, quality improvement and optimal cost achievement as a key of organizational success. This paper elaborate correlation models between dough extensional characteristics, relationship among extensigraph testing results of flour energy with the extensigraph measurements of wheat energy and the grinding degree, X-R quality charts for measuring process stability and cost optimization of grinding wheat process. Based on the research results a model of statistical process control has been created, as preventive quality approach using defects prediction, and production of high quality products at minimum costs.
The Immunobiology of Cancer: an Update Review

BACKGROUND: The introduction of mechanism based targeted therapies to treat human cancers has been pledge as one of the results of three decades of remarkable progress of research into the mechanisms of cancer pathogenesis. We ponder how the description of hallmark principles is start to inform therapeutic development currently and may increasingly do so in the future. CONTENT: There are 10 biological capabilities involved as the hallmarks of cancer, during the multistep of human tumors development. These hallmarks simplify the complexities of neoplastic disease into a structured rational principles, includes sustaining proliferative signaling, eluding growth suppressors, resisting cell death, enabling replicative immortality, inducing angiogenesis, activating invasion and metastasis, genome instability, inflammation, reprogramming energy metabolism and evading immune destruction. SUMMARY: The 10 hallmarks of cancer, in other words, the tumor’s distinctive and complementary capabilities that enable its growth and metastatic dissemination, continue to provide a solid foundation for understanding the biology of cancer. The acknowledgment of the widespread applicability of these concepts will increasingly influence the development of new manners to treat human cancer. KEYWORDS: hallmark of cancer, cancer genome, inflammation, cancer immunology, metastasis
Pathway risk analysis of weed seeds in imported grain: A Canadian perspective

The risk of introducing weeds to new areas through grain (cereals, oilseeds and pulses) intended for process ing or consumption is typically considered less than that from seed or plants for planting. However, within the range of end uses for grain, weed risk varies significantly and should not be ignored. In this paper, we discuss pathway risk analysis as a framework to examine the association of weed seeds with grain commodities throughout the production process from field to final end use, and present inspection sampling data for grain crops commonly imported to Canada. In the field, weed seed contamination of grain crops is affected by factors such as country of origin, climate, biogeography and production and harvesting practices. As it moves toward export, grain is typically cleaned at a series of elevators and the effectiveness and degree of cleaning are influenced by grain size, shape and density as well as by grade requirements. In cases where different grain lots are blended, uncertainty may be introduced with respect to the species and numbers of weed seed contaminants. During transport and storage, accidental spills and cross-contamination among conveyances may occur. At the point of import to Canada, inspection sampling data show that grain shipments contain a variety of contaminants including seeds of regulated weeds and species that represent new
The impact of baryons on the sensitivity of dark energy measurements

The effect of baryons on large-scale structure, if not accounted for, can significantly bias constraints on dark energy. As the detailed physics of the baryons is not yet well understood, correcting for baryon effects introduces additional parameters which must be marginalised over, increasing the uncertainties on the inferred cosmological parameters. As forthcoming Stage IV weak lensing surveys are aiming for percent-level precision on the dark energy equation of state, the extent of this problem must be thoroughly examined. In this paper, we use a halo model with analytic modifications which capture the impact of adiabatic contraction of baryons and feedback on the matter power spectrum, and generalize the Navarro-Frenk-White profile to account for a possible inner halo core. A Fisher analysis predicts a 40% degradation in the $w_0$-$w_a$ Figure of Merit for a Stage IV survey, and degradations of up to 80% in the Figure of Merit for other cosmological parameters. We find that a Euclid-like survey can constrain an inner core to a few $\mathrm{kpc}$, while if the inner core is fixed, we can constrain adiabatic concentration and feedback parameters to a few percent. We explore the scales on which baryons and dark energy contribute most to the Fisher information, finding that simply probing deeper into the non-linear regime does little to reduce the degradation. We show that including external baryon information improves forecasts, although strong priors are required to limit degradation to 1%. Adding Planck cosmic microwave background priors improves the Figure of Merit by a factor of 2.7 and almost completely recovers the individual marginalized errors on $w_0$ and $w_a$. We also quantify the calibration of baryon modelling required to reduce biases of dark energy forecasts to acceptable levels for forthcoming lensing surveys.

Identi fi cation of Protease Producing Halophilic Bacteria from Bledug Kuwu-Mud Volcano

The objective of this research was to isolate and identify the halophilic bacteria from Bledug Kuwu-mud volacano having an ability to produce proteolytic enzyme. From this work, 6 bacterial isolates were obtained from mud and water samples using artifi cial sea water media after incubation at room temperature. Three out of the 6 isolates (BKL-3, BKL-5, and BKA-1) were selected for further analysis. BKL-3, BKL-5 and BKA-1 exhibited an ability to grow at salt concentration greater than 10%. BKL-3 could grow on media supplemented with 15% of salt, meanwhile BKL-5 and BKA-1 could grow at 20% of salt, respectively. Furthermore, those isolates also exhibited proteolytic activity when they were grown on casein media. The phylogenetic analysis based on the 16SrRNA gene sequences showed that the BKL-3 belong to the group of Bacillaceae, whilst BKL-5 and BKA-1 isolates were relatively distance from the group of Halomonadaceae. Therefore, BKL-5 and BKA-1 could be considered as the allegedly new species that were separated from Halomonadaceae.
Development of Solid-state Reference Electrode Based on Sodium Polyanethol Sulfonate Immobilised on Cellulose Acetate

In this study, we successfully developed a solid-state reference electrode based on sodium polyanethol sulfonate (SPS) immobilised on a cellulose acetate membrane and coated on a layer of polypyrrole on top of a carbon screen-printed electrode (SPE). We varied the concentration of SPS salt from 1% to 5% (w/v) and achieved an optimal concentration of 4%. SPS optimisation test was performed by varying concentrations of KCl and pH buffer solution. The slope obtained for 4% SPS was 3.5 ± 0.3 with a residual standard deviation (RSD) of 9.3% of KCl solution, whereas the slope obtained for pH buffer solution was 3.4 ± 0.2 with 1.2% RSD. The stability test in pH 7 buffer and 10−3 M KCl yielded drift at <0.4 mV/h for 60 h of continuous monitoring. We also performed tests using standard NH4+, K+ and NO3− ion-selective electrode sensors, and the slopes measured were respectively 52.4 ± 0.4, 51.4 ± 0.4, and −52.3 ± 0.9 mV/dec with a dynamic range of 0.1–10−5 M.
Phytoplankton, Bacteria and Heterotrophic Nanoflagellate studies using ship and OCM-2 data along a coastal transect in the Arabian Sea

The coastal region of the Central West coast of India is biologically productive and is well known for its Mackerel and Sardine fishery. December is an active fishing month and it just happens to fall in the post-monsoon period when coastal waters are influenced by the riverine discharge of fresh-water. The impacts of fresh-water on the components of the food chain were studied on a cruise conducted on-board the coastal research vessel Sindhu Sankalp. A total of 40 stations distributed over 3 transects were sampled like those found off the coast of Goa, off Ratnagiri and off Dabhol. Physical conditions like salinity and temperature were monitored. Salinity of coastal waters ranged from 33.93 34.59 psu which lowered sigma-t values from 24.08 21.49 kg m -3 to 22.57 – 21.92 kg m -3 due to fresh-water run-off during the extended monsoon of 2010. Chlorophyll a (Chl a) values of the coastal waters were 2.98 ± 0.83 μg L -1 (estimated) and 2.85 ± 0.73 μg L -1 (OCM-II), which was much higher than shelf stations ranging 1.57 ± 1.15 μg L -1 (estimated) and 0.92 ± 0.42 μg L -1 (OCM-II). Further, we have estimated other components of this productive ecosystem including the total bacterial loads and Heterotrophic Nanoflagellate (HNF) population. The total bacteria of coastal waters ranged from 0.93x10 9 – 4.359x10 9 cells L -1 . A strong positive correlation was noticed in Chl a and bacterial load, especially in shelf waters (R 2 = 0.839, n=13, p<0.0001). Further, HNF as grazer showed a negative pattern with the bacteria and hence the phytoplankton biomass. The HNF population was found to be high in shelf waters (2.97±1.16 x10 6 cells L -1 ) when compared to that found in
ASSESSMENT OF GENETIC COMPONENTS AND GENETIC DIVERSITY OF SIX EGYPTIAN CLOVER (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) GENOTYPES USING ISSR AND URP MARKERS

Six Egyptian clover genotypes, i.e., Helaly, Sakha 4, Gemmeiza 1, Serw1, Giza6 and Sakha composite were used in this study. Data was calculated on four cuts and seasonal yield for fresh and dry forage yield. The results indicated that the mean square values were highly significant for genotypes for all studied traits. Helaly cultivar gave the highest values in four cuts and seasonal yield for fresh forage yield. High heritability values were recorded for all studied traits except 1st fresh yield which recorded moderate value. Phenotypic coefficient of variability (PCV) was higher than genotypic coefficient of variability (GCV) in all cuts and seasonal yields. Genetic variations among the six Egyptian clover cultivars were evaluated using universal rice primers (URP) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. URP fingerprinting detected more polymorphic loci (90%) than the ISSR fingerprinting (77.55%). Mean PIC (polymorphism information content) and band informativness (Ib) for each of these marker systems were (0.21, 0.26 for ISSR and 0.32, 0.46 for URP) respectively, suggested that URP marker systems were effective than ISSR in determining polymorphisms. Pairwise similarity index values ranged from 0.37 to 0.72 for ISSR, 0.23 to 0.62 for URP and 0.29 to 0.65 for combined ISSRs and URP indicated the genetic distinctness among the studied genotypes.
Meinong Earthquake source region in Taiwan

Mw 6.4 Meinong earthquake occurred on 6 February 2016 in southern Taiwan, resulting in more than one hundred casualties and several collapsed buildings. The aftershocks occurred mostly at mid-to-lower crustal depths (10 30 km), related to a blind fault system. However, several centimeters of cosesimic surface uplift within the Liushuang, Erhchungli, and GutingKeng Formations, composed mainly of mudstone, was recorded from the InSAR results. The uplifted pattern is similar to that of GPS and leveling data from 2000 2010, which indicates the deformation is accomplished by creeping due to the shallow mudstone structure related to mud diapir. Previous studies have shown limited information about the shallow structure in this region due to few deployed seismic stations. We deployed 36 temporary seismic stations (~5 km spacing) in this study around one month after the main shock to obtain a 3-D shear wave shallow crustal velocity structure using ambient noise tomography. The reliable periods of group and phase velocities from Rayleigh waves were 0.6 5 s, corresponding to around 0 5 km at depths. As a result, the low S-wave pattern speeds at 0 4 km depths correspond to the uplift region from both InSAR data for the coseismic period and GPS and leveling data for the interseismic period. The results from this study are compatible with the reflected seismic profile. The results show that with dense seismic array deployment we can obtain high subsurface image resolution to link the relationship between the surface observations to the subsurface structures.

PROVENANCE OF THE SEDIMENTARY ROCKS OF THE BOM JARDIM GROUP (NEOPROTEROZOIC, SOUTHERN BRAZIL): EVIDENCE FROM PETROGRAPHY, GEOCHEMISTRY AND NEODYMIUM ISOTOPES

Provenance studies are helpful in reconstructing the tectonic, climatic and geographic setting of terrigenous sedimentary basins. The primary controls on the composition of detrital sedimentary rocks are the composition, climate and relief conditions of the source areas, the transport mechanisms, and diagenesis. In order to constrain the provenance of the Neoproterozoic (ca. 600 - 580 Ma) sedimentary rocks of the Bom Jardim Group (Arroio dos Nobres Formation) in the Lavras do Sul (west), Bom Jardim (central) and Cerro da Arvore (east) areas, petrography, major and trace element geochemistry, and Nd isotopic data were analyzed together. The results indicate a clear lateral variation of provenance parameters. In the region of Lavras do Sul, near syn-sedimentary volcanic rocks of shoshonitic affinity (the Hilario Formation), the sandstones are epiclastic, plotting in the undissected and transitional arc fields of the QFL diagram, display relatively higher values of Na, Ba, Sr and Zr, and yield a 143 Nd/ 144 Nd ratio of 0.512263 and present-day e Nd of -7.32. In the Bom Jardim area, east of Cacapava do Sul, the sedimentary rocks are also dominated by volcanic fragments, but display significant values of metamorphic detritus. The relatively higher values of Cr, Co and Ni suggest some contribution of ophiolitic or lamprophyric source areas, while the 143 Nd/ 144 Nd ratio is 0.511906 and the e Nd(0) is around -14.28. In the easternmost outcropping area, the Cerro da Arvore (or Piquiri) region, the sedimentary rocks are rich in metasedimentary clasts, with significant amounts of polycrystalline quartz fragments, plotting in the orogenic recycling field. Comparatively, the value of the K 2 O/Na 2 O ratio is higher, the 143 Nd/ 144 Nd ratio is 0.511887 and the e Nd(0) is of -14.65, suggesting older and more acidic source rocks, probably constituents of the Porongos metamorphic complex. a granted by CNPq; b granted by ANP 2 Ministerio Publico do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Divisao de Assessoramento Tecnico (DAT/MP-RS) #
Pleistocene volcanic rocks in the Mariana Forearc revealed by drilling at Site 781

Geophysical surveys of the Mariana forearc, in an area equidistant from the Mariana Trench and the active Mariana Island Arc, revealed a 40-m-deep graben about 13 km northwest of Conical Seamount, a serpentine mud volcano. The graben and its bounding horst blocks are part of a fault zone that strikes northwest-southeast beneath Conical Seamount. One horst block was drilled during Leg 125 of the Ocean Drilling Program (Site 781). Three lithologic units were recovered at Site 781: an upper sedimentary unit, a middle basalt unit, and a lower sedimentary unit. The upper unit, between 0 and 72 mbsf, consists of upper Pliocene to Holocene diatomaceous and radiolarian-bearing silty clay that grades down into vitric silty clay and vitric clayey silt. The middle unit is a Pleistocene vesicular, porphyritic basalt, the top of which corresponds to a high-amplitude reflection on the reflection profiles. The lower unit is a middle to upper (and possibly some lower) Pliocene vitric silty clay and vitric clayey silt similar to the lower part of the upper unit. The thickness of the basalt unit can only be estimated to be between 13 and 25 m because of poor core recovery (28% to 55%). The absence of internal flow structures and the presence of an upper glassy chilled zone and a lower, fine-grained margin suggest that the basalt unit is either a single lava flow or a near-surface sill. The basalt consists of Plagioclase phenocrysts with subordinate augite and olivine phenocrysts and of plagioclase-augite-olivine glomerocrysts in a groundmass of Plagioclase, augite, olivine, and glass. The basalt is an island arc tholeiite enriched in large-ion-lithophile elements relative to high-field-strength elements, similar to the submarine lavas of the southern arc seamounts. In contrast, volcanic rocks from the active volcanoes on Pagan and Agrigan islands, 100 km to the west of the drill site, are calc-alkaline. The basalt layer, the youngest in-situ igneous layer reported from the Izu-Bonin and Mariana forearcs, is enigmatic because of its location more than 100 km from the active volcanic arc. The sediment layers above and below the basalt unit are late Pliocene in age (about 2.5 Ma) and normally magnetized. The basalt has schlierenlike structures, reverse magnetization, and a K-Ar age of 1.68 ±0.37 Ma. Thus, the basalt layer is probably a sill fed by magma intruded along a fault zone bounding the horst and graben in the forearc. The geochemistry of the basalt is consistent with a magma source similar to that of the active island arc and from a mantle source above the subducting Pacific plate.
