Document Clustering based on Semantic Notions

ing for each document. There are several possible extensions to this work:  The proposed document clustering approach has many practical applications. One direction is to apply this technique on some specific application area along with application specific optimizations to see the outcome. For example: web search results can be clustered using this approach. The snippets for each cluster are generated to see the quality of these snippets.  In the proposed approach each term, whether it is from lexical chain or from topic maps, has an equal effect on similarity calculation for a pair of documents. One possible direction is to introduce discriminative feature weighting for the features in this approach. Discriminative feature weighting has encouraging results for both text clustering and classification tasks.
Kbtbd11 gene expression in adipose tissue increases in response to feeding and affects adipocyte differentiation

The putative tumor suppressor gene, KBTBD11, might play a role in tumorigenesis, and is associated with cellular apoptosis and proliferation in colorectal cancer cells. However, the function of Kbtbd11 during adipogenesis is unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of Kbtbd11 in the differentiation of 3T3‐L1 preadipocytes.

A STATISTICAL FEATURE EXTRACTION IN WAVELET DOMAIN FOR MOVEMENT CLASSIFICATION: A CASE STUDY FOR EYES OPEN, EYES CLOSED, AND OPEN/CLOSED FIST TASKS

Analysis of brain signals constitute an importance, especially for paralyzed people or people suffer from motor disabilities. For this aim, some studies have been evaluated to measure signals from the scalp to provide non-muscle control arguments. Brain-Computer Interface Systems turns these signals into device signals that are controllable at the level of thought. In this paper, we classify diverse tasks according to EEG (electroencephalogram) signals. Then pre-processing, feature extraction and classification steps are hold. For classification, we use FLDA, Linear SVM, Quadratic SVM, PCA, and k-NN methods. The best result is obtained by using k-NN.
A new approach for Enterprise Application Architecture for Financial Information Systems : An investigation of the architectural implications of adopting serialization and RPC frameworks, NoSQL/hybrid data stores and heterogeneous computing in Financial Information Systems

This thesis investigates the architectural implications of adopting serialisation and remote procedure call (RPC) frameworks, NoSQL/hybrid data stores and heterogeneous computing in financial information systems. Each tech- nology and its implications is analysed separately together with its benefits and drawbacks for the system implemen-tor. The investigation shows that all three technologies can help alleviate technical challenges facing financial enter- prises; but they all come at a cost of complexity.
NAVIGATION IN INDOOR VOXEL MODELS

Abstract. The paper proposes to use voxel models of building interiors to perform indoor navigation. The algorithms can be purely geometrical, not relying on semantic information about different building elements, such as floors, walls, stairways etc. Therefore, it is possible to use voxel models from different data sources, in addition to vector-to-raster conversions. The paper demonstrates this on the basis of tree different input types: hand measurements, point clouds and images of floorplans. On the basis of these models, the paper shows how to determine the navigable space in a voxel model for a pedestrian actor, and how to compute paths from arbitrary sources to specified destinations.
Sound Analysis of 3D Objects Based on Digitized Data

The report reviews selected results in the field of geometrical measurements and reconstructions of 3D objects (i.e. simply-connected compact sets of points) based on gridding techniques. Two soundness properties of approaches are discussed with respect to the selected grid resolution: convergence and convergence towards the "true" value. The existence of sound multigrid approaches is discussed for problems as (1) volume and surface area measurement for Jordan sets (i.e. 3D objects bounded by Jordan surfaces), (2) approximations of planes based on sampled data, (3) surface reconstructions based on gradient information, and (4) surface recovery by solving a (special) linear differential equation system. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of arising digital or computational geometry problems relevant to the discussed subjects. * The University of Auckland, Tamaki Campus, Computing and Information Technology Research, Computer Vision Unit, Auckland, New Zealand Sound Analysis of 3D Objects Based on Digitized Data

Environmental constraints on the reproductive activity of domestic sheep and cattle: what latitude for the herder?

Sous les climats temperes, l'activite sexuelle des ovins est synchronisee par la photoperiode. Quant aux bovins, s'ils ne connaissent pas de periode d'infertilite, leur strategie de reproduction est cependant liee a la disponibilite saisonniere des ressources alimentaires. L'eleveur n'a qu'une certaine marge de manoeuvre pour moduler ce systeme. Il est possible de restreindre la periode des naissances en controlant physiquement les animaux. Chez les ovins, l'extension de la periode des naissances en dehors de celle definie par la photoperiode requiert aujourd'hui la mise en oeuvre de traitements hormonaux et lumineux artificiels. Chez les bovins, elle requiert le maintien d'une alimentation a volonte toute l'annee. Ceci suggere que les contraintes physiologiques et environnementales ont pu etre tres fortes sur la gestion de la reproduction dans les elevages ovins et bovins primitifs. Selon toute probabilite, la reproduction des ovins et des bovins etait saisonnee, mais il reste a definir plus precisement dans quelle mesure la saison des naissances etait restreinte dans le temps. Par des analyses isotopiques dans l'email dentaire (δ 18 O), nous avons examine la saisonnalite des naissances des bovins et des ovins sur les sites neolithiques d'Europe nord-occidentale de Knap of Howar (-3600 BC), Holm of Papa Westray (debut du,3 e millenaire BC) et Er Yoh (seconde moitie du 4 e millenaire BC). Les resultats suggerent une saison des naissances plus restreinte, pour les bovins comme pour les ovins, a Knap of Howar que ce qui est observe plus tard a Holm of Papa Westray et a Er Yoh. Il n'est pas encore possible, cependant, de distinguer entre les facteurs climatiques, biologiques et culturels responsables de cette difference. Ces premieres observations devront etre reevaluees apres elargissement du corpus de donnees.
Articulating a New Framework for Visual Metaphors in Advertising

This study develops and tests a conceptual framework for categorizing visual metaphors in advertising according to whether the pictorial elements in the ad are synthesized or juxtaposed. In this attempt, it subscribes to the view that creative ideas frequently share similar design structures and patterns in devising visual metaphors. This study demonstrates that compared with ad visuals that simply juxtapose metaphorical objects, ad visuals that synthesize conceptually similar metaphorical objects provoke greater elaboration and elicit more favorable consumer attitudes toward both the ad and the brand. These positive effects are not free of comprehension costs, however. Ads that synthesize very dissimilar objects (as compared with ads that juxtapose objects) fail to produce the same benefits and might, in some cases, even risk reducing the persuasiveness of the argument about key product attributes in the advertising message.
Analyzing panel data

An introduction to a variety of techniques that may be used in the analysis of data from a panel study -- information obtained from a large number of entities at two or more points in time. The focus of this volume is on analysis rather than problems of sampling or design, and its emphasis is on application rather than theory.
Position Control of IT-Robot manipulator using Multi–Loop FOPID

Position control of the manipulator has been noted for its difficulty as the result of the so-called dynamic stability problem, parameter uncertainty and dynamic coupling. This work focused on position control of the first four degree of freedom (DOF) of IT-Robot manipulator using Fractional Order PID (FOPID) controller that can conquer this difficulty. All procedure description to model of the manipulator and control has been detailed and simulated using MATLAB R2015a/Simulink; from the mechanical model generation in SimMechanic where, the manipulator joint is moved using DC motor. Parameters of FOPID controller are optimized using GA. The controller effectiveness is analyzed for set point tracking. By simulation results, it was observed that FOPID controller give better response with minimum error than PID controller for the position control of the IT-robot manipulator.

SU-F-BRB-08: How Many Parameters Are Required to Characterize DVHs in Clinical Circumstance?

Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess how many parameters are required to characterize the DVH curves by principal component analysis (PCA) in two tumors sites. Methods: Two tumor sites including nasopharyngeal cancer and lung cancer were enrolled in this study. Each tumor site contains 5 patients. Multiple criteria optimization (MCO) algorithm was used to generate the plan database to cover all the possible optimization solution in RayStation (RaySearch Laboratories AB, Sweden). The constraints and trade-off objectives setting were based on the QUANTEC research and planning experience. The target and normal tissue DVHs were export to MATLAB. Each DVH on plans were resampled into 101 points for principal component analysis. A threshold of 95% was used to decide how many components should be selected to characterize DVH curves. Finally, we evaluate the accuracy of the data extraction by regenerating DVH from the selected principal components (PCs). The D95 of PTV, max-dose of spinal cord and brainstem, mean dose of parotid and other related organs at risk in nasopharyngeal cancer; and the D95 of PTV, the V20Gy of lung-PTV, and mean dose of heart in lung cancer were analyzed. Results: The PCs used to characterize DVH were 1–3 in nasopharyngeal cancer, 2–3 in lung cancer. The regenerated DVHs were coincided with the original DVHs in both cancers. The mean dose differences of all clinical points between the regenerated and the original were 0, and the maximize deviation is less than 100cGy except some parameters in the nasopharynx cancer, which has the maximal dose difference of 177cGy in spinal cord and 608cGy in brainstem. Conclusion: It is feasible to characterize the DVH curves by no more than 3 principal independent variables in nasopharyngeal cancer and lung cancer.
On Distributed Data Processing in Data Grid Architecture for a Virtual Repository

The article describes the problem of integration of distributed, heterogeneous and fragmented collections of data with application of the virtual repository and the data grid concept. The technology involves: wrappers enveloping external resources, a virtual network (based on the peer-topeer technology) responsible for integration of data into one global schema and a distributed index for speeding-up data retrieval. Authors present a method for obtaining data from heterogeneously structured external databases and then a procedure of integration the data to one, commonly available, ∗This research work is funded from the science finances in years 2010/2012 as a research project nr N N516 423438. 26 On Distributed Data Processing in Data Grid Architecture. global schema. The core of the described solution is based on the StackBased Query Language (SBQL) and virtual updatable SBQL views. The system transport and indexing layer is based on the P2P architecture.
Breastfeeding peer support in Wiltshire: An evaluation

This presentation will discuss issues involved in undertaking an evaluation of breastfeeding peer support, commissioned by NHS Wiltshire to consider how the implementation of breastfeeding peer support in Wiltshire might be improved. The focus was three areas with significant deprivation and low breastfeeding rates. The underlying aim was to consider the effectiveness of peer support, how accessible it was to women in these areas and to those least likely to breastfeed, including young women. A specific peer support intervention had been initiated to target areas of significantly lower prevalence of breastfeeding, involving ante- and post-natal text and telephone contact and we were asked to evaluate its implementation. Breastfeeding is a public health priority in the UK, widely acknowledged to be important in improving public health and reducing health inequalities. Increasing breastfeeding duration in lower income groups and amongst younger women is seen as a key target in reducing health inequalities, and has been particularly emphasised by the Department of Health. The evaluation was influenced by realist evaluation and qualitative methodology. One-to-one semi-structured interviews were carried out with twelve stakeholders and seven breastfeeding women. Two focus groups were carried out with breastfeeding peer supporters in two out of three identified evaluation areas. Thematic analysis identified five themes: the value of peer support, the perception of peer support groups, the provision of peer support, reaching the women least likely to breastfeed and ante- and post-natal support. These are discussed and supported by quotations from participants. Findings will be related to the original objectives of the evaluation and our recommendations discussed.
The Prison Library

Abstract Among the issues that confront prisons are their growth, their cost, the influx of mentally ill inmates, the need for addiction treatment, high recidivism rates, and the large number of expected releases. Despite a critical need to use available resources to resolve these issues, prison officials treat one such resource, their libraries, as though they were insignificant and dispensable. Library service for correctional staff, increased research into prison librarianship, and a working relationship with public libraries are ways the prison library can become part of the effort to enhance public safety.
An investigation into the experiences of remaining nurse tutors during transformation of nursing colleges in the Free State

The study investigated the experiences of remaining nurse tutors at the Free State School of Nursing during the transfonnation of Nursing Colleges and downsizing of personnel. The study aimed at describing the experiences of individuals during changes in their work environment, with the purpose of contributing to the identification of guidelines for 'surviving' transformation and downsizing at the workplace. Three themes emerged from this study through the narrative descriptions and unstructured interviews. The first theme, affective responses, deah with emotions, low morale, depressive moods and anxiety caused by transformation and downsizing. The second theme, cognitive and perceptual view, revealed the thoughts, beliefs, and opinions of remaining nurse tutors regarding transfonnation and downsizing. Perceptions of and opinions on how nursing education and human dignity were affected were also expressed. The third theme portrayed the coping responses, which described work-related personal and social adjustments nurse tutors made during the transformation of nursing colleges. Recommendations included communication, participation and counseling of nurse tutors and to meet the requirements of nursing colleges during transfonnation and downsizing.
Recommending best answer in a collaborative question answering system

The World Wide Web has become a medium for people to share information. People use Web-based collaborative tools such as question answering (QA) portals, blogs/forums, email and instant messaging to acquire information and to form online-based communities. In an online QA portal, a user asks a question and other users can provide answers based on their knowledge, with the question usually being answered by many users. It can become overwhelming and/or time/resource consuming for a user to read all of the answers provided for a given question. Thus, there exists a need for a mechanism to rank the provided answers so users can focus on only reading good quality answers. The majority of online QA systems use user feedback to rank users’ answers and the user who asked the question can decide on the best answer. Other users who didn’t participate in answering the question can also vote to determine the best answer. However, ranking the best answer via this collaborative method is time consuming and requires an ongoing continuous involvement of users to provide the needed feedback. The objective of this research is to discover a way to recommend the best answer as part of a ranked list of answers for a posted question automatically, without the need for user feedback. The proposed approach combines both a non-content-based reputation method and a content-based method to solve the problem of recommending the best answer to the user who posted the question. The non-content method assigns a score to each user which reflects the users’ reputation level in using the QA portal system. Each user is assigned two types of non-content-based reputations cores: a local reputation score and a global reputation score. The local reputation score plays an important role in deciding the reputation level of a user for the category in which the question is asked. The global reputation score indicates the prestige of a user across all of the categories in the QA system. Due to the possibility of user cheating, such as awarding the best answer to a friend regardless of the answer quality, a content-based method for determining the quality of a given answer is proposed, alongside the non-content-based reputation method. Answers for a question from different users are compared with an ideal (or expert) answer using traditional Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing techniques. Each answer provided for a question is assigned a content score according to how well it matched the ideal answer. To evaluate the performance of the proposed methods, each recommended best answer is compared with the best answer determined by one of the most popular link analysis methods, Hyperlink-Induced Topic Search (HITS). The proposed methods are able to yield high accuracy, as shown by correlation scores: Kendall correlation and Spearman correlation. The reputation method outperforms the HITS method in terms of recommending the best answer. The inclusion of the reputation score with the content score improves the overall performance, which is measured through the use of Top-n match scores.
