PatTexSum : A pattern-based text summarizer

In the last decade the growth of the Internet has made a huge amount of textual documents available in the electronic form. Text summarization is commonly based on clustering or graph-based methods and usually considers the bag-of-word sentence representation. Frequent itemset mining is a widely exploratory technique to discover relevant correlations among data. The well-established application of frequent itemsets to large transactional datasets prompts their usage in the context of document summarization as well. This paper proposes a novel multi-document summarizer, namely PatTexSum (Pattern-based Text Summarizer), that is mainly based on a patternbased model, i.e., a model composed of frequent itemsets. Unlike previously proposed approaches, PatTexSum selects most representative and not redundant sentences to include in the summary by considering both (i) the most informative and non-redundant itemsets extracted from document collections tailored to the transactional data format, and (ii) a sentence score, based on the tf-idf statistics. Experiments conducted on a collection of real news articles show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Over or Under Pressure Detection of Tire

* LSIS UMR CNRS 6168 Domaine Universitaire de Saint-Jérôme Avenue Escadrille Normandie-Niemen 13397 MARSEILLE CEDEX 20 ** Laboratoire des Systèmes Complexes 40, Rue du Pelvoux 91020 Evry Cedex abdelhamid.rabhi@lsis.org Abstract : This paper presents a methodology which makes it possible to detect a change of the tire pressure. A vertical dynamical model of the tire is used. The concept of the method consists in estimating, on line, the variation of the tire pressure. The system detection is built on a combination of an observer with an estimator. The decision step is developed using the sequential test of Wald.
Modeling and Simulation of Power Hacksaw Machine Using Bond Graph

The mechanism of a machine involves a number of interconnected rigid bodies which interact with each other dynamically. Formulations of dynamics for such mechanisms available in literature, usually either do not reveal the physical aspects involved, or tend to be too mathematically inclined. Aspects of cause and effect are also obscured. In this paper, the multibond graph approach is used as an alternative but powerful method, for modeling the dynamics of mechanisms taking the specific example of a power hacksaw machine, which is quite common in industry. The mechanism is modeled as a combination of rigid links suitably constrained at joints. Bond graph offers the capability for pictorial representation of the dynamics of mechanisms, based on interaction of power between elements, and also depicts the cause and effect relationships. Coding for simulation can be done directly from the multibond graph without deriving system equations. In this work, the program coding is implemented in MATLAB. The simulation results are analyzed, plotted and discussed.
Haemophilia B PMS1 Gene SNPs Predictions through Insilico Approach at Proteomics Levels

Hemophilia is one of the important hereditary disease that leading to deficiency in some clotting factors due to gene mutations beside this it related most important hematologic parts; anemia, the aim of this study is to identify the PMS1 (hemophilia B) gene SNPs and to predict mutation effects of this gene at the proteomic level, through in silico tools such as proven, sift, polyphen-2, I mutant suite-3, SNPs & GO, finally Meta-snp prediction. A according to these predictions tools & their confirmations I found that PMS1 gene SNPs showed damaging prediction which was considered as clinical manifestation in this study beside these a lots of SNPs illustrate decreasing in protein functionality; unfortunately 26 SNPs showed prediction results just with sift & proven predictions software and these explain why they were excluded from this study with those showed benign predictions by polyphen-2, in addition to confirmation of ORMDL1 gene SNPs that located at the same PMS1 gene chromosome had the same clinical effect such as PMS1 gene SNPs.
Managerial empire building and segment reporting quality: The role of auditor industry specialization

This study aims to explore whether empire building firms have lower segment reporting quality under the new accounting standard-IFRS No. 8, Operating Segments. IFRS No. 8 requires firms to report segment information on basis of the management approach, which implying the opportunity of managerial manipulation. We use the sample of 8 countries that have followed IFRS 8 over the period 2009-2011, and find that when managers with high incentives to build managerial empire will conceal segment reporting information on purpose which leads to lower segment reporting quality. Furthermore, our results show that external auditors with industrial experience attenuate the agency problem of managerial empire building and consequently increase segment reporting quality.
Does Uncertainty Deter Provision of Public Goods

We study a finitely repeated public goods game (based on the voluntary contribution mechanism) played under complete uncertainty about the marginal benefit of the public good relative to the private consumption (commonly known as the marginal per capita return): neither one's marginal per capita return nor other players' marginal per capita returns are known at the time of decision-making. We show that contributions are equivalent when the rate of return is predetermined and when it is uncertain, and display a similar decay over time. Combined with the previous experimental findings, our results suggest that the cooperation in public goods games is sensitive to the source of uncertainty about marginal per capita return.
Treatment effectiveness with dually diagnosed adolescents: A systematic review

The treatment of dually diagnosed adolescents is challenging for many reasons, including complex treatment needs, poor treatment engagement and retention, and a lack of sustainable treatment outcomes. Although a large percentage of adolescents are diagnosed with both substance abuse and mental health diagnoses, research is only beginning to identify effective treatments for this population. The current study systematically reviews randomized clinical trials of interventions for dually diagnosed adolescents. Results examining both between-group effect sizes and within group changes indicate the efficacy of several treatment modalities in improving specific aspects of treatment needs but highlight family behavior therapy and individual cognitive problemsolving therapy as showing large effect sizes across externalizing, internalizing, and substance-abuse outcomes in dually diagnosed youth. The study further discusses the complexities of systematically evaluating the currently limited state of research on dually diagnosed youth. Finally, preliminary guidelines for treating dually diagnosed adolescents are derived from a review of those treatments shown to be most effective.

The contextual meaning of sustainable development: the case of the Dutch drinking water sector

The concept of sustainable development means different things to different people in different contexts, leading to 'strong' and 'weak' versions of sustainability. This article addresses the question of which meaning of sustainability is given by the Dutch drinking water sector and its main stakeholders. The 'weak', or human-oriented, school was found at three of the four water companies studied. This is understandable, because water companies have a human-oriented task: to provide the public with drinking water. The 'strong' version of sustainability was found within several governmental bodies. Their view of 'staying within the natural water system' was unacceptable for most other societal actors. A third form of sustainability was developed by the fourth drinking water company studied. It bridges the human and nature interests in a step by step dialogue. This way of looking at sustainable development may be an interesting perspective in which humans start seeing themselves as an integral part of nature again, instead of as being outside and above nature.

Virulence Attenuation of Capsular Polysaccharide-deleted Mutants of Streptococcus iniae in Japanese Flounder Paralichthys olivaceus

Streptococcus iniae is known as an important bacterial pathogen causing serious damage in fish culture industry worldwide. Although the capsule of this pathogen is suggested to play a role in the disease process, it has not been verified yet. In this study we created isogenic uncapsulated mutants of S. iniae NUF631 by Tn916 transposon mutagenesis and investigated the role of capsule in the virulence and resistance to phagocytic activities of peritoneal macrophages of Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. Mutants transformed from K + phenotype to K - pheno- type were all uncapsulated. They exhibited neither K + type-specific precipitation line in an immun- odiffusion test nor ladder-like banding pattern characteristic for bacterial acidic polysaccharides in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Their virulence to Japanese flounder was highly attenuated. In contrast to the mutant strains, the parent capsulated strain resisted phagocytic and bactericidal activities of the macrophages and prevented chemiluminescence reaction of the mac- rophages upon phagocytosis. From these results, it is verified that the S. iniae capsule is an im- portant factor for intramacrophage survival of the pathogen.
Composición química, producción de gas in vitro y astringencia en el follaje de Samanea saman (Jacq.) Merrill

Con el objetivo de determinar la composicion quimica, la astringencia, la produccion de gas y la degradabilidad ruminal in vitro de la fraccion comestible de Samanea saman , durante el ano 2009 se realizaron cinco muestreos (febrero, abril, mayo, junio y octubre) en plantas localizadas en un bosque semicaducifolio tropical en Venezuela. En cada muestreo se consideraron 10 plantas diferentes, cada una como una replica evaluada en un diseno completamente aleatorizado. No hubo variacion (P>0,05) en la MO (94,1 ± 1,5%), la PC (20,1 ± 1,5%), la hemicelulosa (17,5 ± 3,7%), la celulosa (10,5 ± 2,5%), la lignina (11,1 ± 1,8%) y los fenoles totales (2,8 ± 1,1%). De mayo a octubre se observaron los mayores valores (P<0,05) para la EE (5,3 ± 0,8%), la FND (44,8 ± 3,3%), la FAD (16,7 ± 1,9%) y el Ca (1,3 ± 0,2%); mientras que los taninos totales (P<0,05) y condensados (P<0,01) se elevaron en octubre (3,75% y 0,99%, respectivamente). La astringencia no se detecto de febrero a mayo y fue baja de junio a octubre (0,4 ± 0,2 g Eat/100 g de MS). No hubo diferencias en los parametros b (0,04 ± 0,01 mL/h), To (1,2 ± 0,2 h) y T½ (21,3 ± 3,3 h), con la mayor produccion potencial de gas en febrero (63,3 mL/g MS). La degradabilidad de la MO y de la FND se redujeron (P<0,05) en abril (44,7% y 24,7%, respectivamente), sin diferencias para los meses restantes (51,2 ± 3,4% y 37,7 ± 3,3%, respectivamente). La biomasa comestible de S. saman puede ser empleada como una fuente de nutrientes en sistemas silvopastoriles, con una reducida participacion de taninos condensados de baja actividad biologica, lo que supone un impacto positivo sobre el flujo de nitrogeno no amoniacal a partir del rumen.
Diet composistion, dry matter intake, and diet overlap of mule deer, elk, and cattle

7 Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), elk (Cervus elaphus) and cattle share rangeland throughout much of interior western North America. Considerable debate exists about the degree to which facilitation or competition occurs for forage 'between these three species (Nelson 1982, Wisdom and Thomas 1 996, Miller 2002). Prior cattle grazing can have beneficial effects on elk nutrition. The removal of forage by cattle can improve forage quality by enhancing regrowth of forage or by changing ratios of live to dead plant material (Cook 2002), and forage quality on elk winter ranges in the interior Northwest can be improved by cattle grazing in the spring (Anderson and Scherzinger 1975, Clark 1996). To date, however, studies have not shown enhancement of forage quality in the summer following late spring or early summer grazing by elk or cattle.
aerosol components and types in the Baltic sea region

Atmospheric aerosol observed in Estonia in summer 2002 was classified with different methods. The aim of the investigation was to identify and characterise the main aerosol types and components in order to facilitate modelling of the regional aerosol. The classification scheme used enabled to identify aerosol types proceeding from the optical char acteristics of aerosol in the UV region. The optical and size distribution characteristics were specified for the following aerosol types: marine clean mixed with continental clean, marine polluted mixed with continental average, continental polluted, and continental polluted mixed with smoke. Another classification method was based on the decomposition of the measured aerosol size distributions to basic aerosol components. It enabled a flexible linking of aerosol size distribution, composition, and optical properties. Percentages (mean ± SD for 17 days) of the basic components in the aerosol volume was estimated as follows: soot = 1.2% ± 1.4%, insoluble = 23.1% ± 8.3%, water-soluble = 44.0% ± 10.8%, accumulation mode sea salt = 31.6% ± 6.2%.
INTEGRATED STRATEGY TO ENHANCE BIOGAS PRODUCTION FROM MANGO PEEL WASTE

The present study has successfully explored the use of pomegranate seed de-oiled cake as a major additive and micronutrients solution as a minor additive to enhance production of biogas and enrich its methane content, using mango peel as the initial substrate. While micronutrients solution has activated enzymes to carry out anaerobic digestion for optimal production of biogas and methane, pomegranate seed de-oiled cake has (a) provided buffering capacity for stabilized pH/alkalinity: acidity ratio, (b) reduced C:N ratio of the substrates to facilitate anaerobic digestion. Cumulatively effecting enhanced biogas generation (0.82 m kg VS fed) and its rich methane content (0.64 m kg VS fed).
A Review on Temperature Process Control: Case Study on Boiler

Process control is an important aspect area to be studied as many industries are dealing with it. During a lab course in Mechatronics Engineering at Assumption University, Thailand, a temperature process control is introduced and a basic study is made. This study covers kettle and thyristor power module including a plant, thermocouple and thermistor as temperature sensors, and Bosch Rexroth Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) as a controller. This review article will be beneficial to the reader to understand the link between a mathematical model and an actual system model. To control the temperature of the boiler, a three-mode control (0%-50%-100%), and a proportional-integral (PI) control are used to vary the output responses. The three-mode control can use digital output from the PLC, while the PI control needs to use analog output from the PLC. A simulation model with MATLAB® /Simulink® is studied before the actual experiment. Students can apply the temperature process control concept to others process controls such as position control, speed control, pressure control, flow control, level control, etc.
THE BIOCHEMICAL

The amino-acid compositions of two preparations of 'histone' obtained respectively from isolated rat liver nuclei and from calf thymus have been deter- mined. The chromatographic methods of Stein & Moore (1948) and Moore & Stein (1949) were used, and the results, in terms of amino acid N as per-centage of total N, were as follows.
Human immunodeficiency viruses.

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the etiologic agent of AIDS. HIVs are enveloped plus-stranded RNA viruses. The HIV genome is organized similarly to other retroviruses. It contains the gag, pol, and env genes which encode structural proteins, viral enzymes, and envelope glycoproteins, respectively. The major structural proteins which are encoded by the gag gene include p17, p24, p7, and p9. Replication begins with the attachment of virus to the target cell via the interaction of gp120 and the cellular receptor CD4. Both HIV-1 and HIV-2 have the same modes of transmission. The most common mode of HIV infection is sexual transmission at the genital mucosa through direct contact with infected blood fluids, including blood, semen, and vaginal secretions. Serological testing for HIV antibody is used for various purposes, including primary diagnosis, screening of blood products, management of untested persons in labor and delivery, evaluation of occupational exposures to blood/body fluid, and epidemiological surveillance. The first generation of HIV antibody assays relied on the detection of antibody to HIV viral protein lysates. A test using a sandwich-capture format and significantly more blood than other methods was more sensitive in early seroconversion. HIV-1 RNA load testing is sometimes requested to resolve equivocal serologic findings or to facilitate the diagnosis of HIV-1 infection during the acute phase or in a pediatric setting.
OBERFLAECHENSCHUTZSYSTEM FUER DAS ERSTELLEN VON HOCHBESTAENDIGEN BETONKONSTRUKTIONEN

In der Praxis wirken nutzungsbedingt unterschiedliche Umwelteinfluesse auf ein Bauwerk ein, die die Dauerhaftigkeit massgeblich beeinflussen. Die fuer eine Instandsetzung erforderlichen finanziellen Aufwendungen sind so hoch, dass ein Abbruch und Neubau haeufig guenstiger waere. Neben den Kosten sind aber auch noch technisch bedingte Nutzungseinschraenkungen und Umweltbelastungen bei einer Instandsetzung zu beruecksichtigen. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Konzept zum Erreichen einer hinreichenden Dauerhaftigkeit vorgestellt, das neben technischen auch oekologische und oekonomische Aspekte enthaelt. Fuer die Umsetzung des Konzeptes wird eine zementgebundene Beschichtung vorgeschlagen, die die Tragwerkskonstruktion fuer eine gegebene Zeitspanne zu schuetzen hat. Es wird gezeigt, dass mit Hilfe dieses Konzeptes die Bestaendigkeit und Langzeitnutzungsdauer eines Betonbauteils auf oekonomisch und oekologisch sinnvolle Weise realisiert werden koennen. (A)

Superresolution Reconstruction of Electrical Equipment Incipient Fault

With the rapid development of industry and technology, the electrical power system becomes more complex and the electrical equipment becomes more diverse. Defective equipment is often the cause of industrial accidents and electrical injuries, which can result in serious injuries, such as electrocution, burns, and electrical shocks. In some cases, electrical equipment fault may result in death. However, in some special situation, some fault is very small even invisible, such as equipment aging, holes, and cracks, so the detection of these incipient faults is difficult or even impossible. These potential incipient faults become the biggest hidden danger in the electrical equipment and electricity power system. For these reasons, this paper proposes a superresolution reconstruction method for electrical equipment incipient fault to ensure complete detection in electrical equipment, which aims to guarantee the security of electrical power system operation and industry production. Experimental results show that this method can get a state-of-the-art reconstruction effect of incipient fault, so as to provide reliable fault detection of electrical power system.
Review of Logo Matching & RecognitionSystem Based On Context Dependency

In this paper we present a framework for logo retrieval in images and videos. The wide range application of visual data from Companies, Institution, Individuals and Social system like Flickr, YouTube is for diffusion and sharing of images and Video. There are several issues in processing visual data from an image which was corrupted by noise or subjected to any transformation and also its accuracy in matching Logos are some of the emerging research issues currently. To overcome these problem we have proposed a new class of similarities based on Context Dependent algorithm which enhances the performance in terms of accuracy in logo matching and computation time. Through this paper, the design of Logo matching and recognition which is important for brand advertising and surveillance applications is proposed. It discovers either improper or non-authorized use of logos. Reference logos and test images are seen as constellations of local features (interest points, regions, etc.) and matched by minimizing an energy function mixing: 1) a fidelity term that measures the quality of feature matching 2) a neighborhood criterion that captures feature co-occurrence/geometry 3) a regularization term that controls the smoothness of the matching solution. Context is a collection of interest points and Context Dependent Similarity Matrix is created to find interest point correspondences between two images in order to tackle logo detection.
546 a dileMMas TasK FoR eliciTiNg RisK PRoPeNsiTy

Risk propensity (RP) is a trait characterized by an increased probability of engaging in behaviors that have some potential danger or harm but also provide an opportunity for some benefit. In the present study, a new RP task with several dilemmas was explored. Each dilemma includes the initial set plus successive approximations for estimating the Indifference Value between a Secure and the expected value of an uncertain Game. The scores showed good internal consistency, reasonably test-retest reliability, and good validity. The risk propensity dilemmas (RPD) task is proposed as an addition to an ideal battery of tasks for reflecting a complex trait that should be assessed from varied perspectives, procedures, and scenarios of uncertainty.
