Scalable coherent interface

The scalable coherent interface (SCI) project (formerly known as SuperBus) is based on experience gained during the development of Fastbus (IEEE 960), Futurebus (IEEE 896.1) and other modern 32-bit buses. SCI goals include a minimum bandwidth of 1 Gb/s per processor; efficient support of a coherent distributed-cache image of shared memory; and support for segmentation, bus repeaters, and general switched interconnections like Banyon, Omega, or full crossbars. SCI abandons the immediate handshake characteristics of the present generation of buses in favor of a packet-based protocol. SCI avoids wire-ORs, broadcasts, and even ordinary passive bus structures, except that a lower-performance (1 Gb/s per backplane instead of per processor) implementation using a register insertion ring architecture on a passive backplane appears to be possible using the same interface as for the more costly switch networks. A summary is presented of current directions, and the status of the work in progress is reported. <<ETX>>
Improved Scheme for Smart Card Password Authentication Based on Bilinear Pairings

An improved remote user authentication scheme with smart cards using bilinear pairings is proposed,by analyzing the remote user authentication scheme with smart cards using bilinear pairings.It is found the scheme is still vulnerable to masquerade attack and server disguise attack.By encrypting and decrypting with the server’s public key,and inducting sequence number so that there is a bidirectional authentication between user and server,the improved scheme not only inherits the security of original one,but also can resist masquerade attack and server disguise attack with stronger security.
Cohesion and coherence for Automatic Summarization

This paper presents the integration of cohesive properties of text with coherence relations, to obtain an adequate representation of text for automatic summarization. A summarizer based on Lexical Chains is enchanced with rhetorical and argumentative structure obtained via Discourse Markers.When evaluated with newspaper corpus, this integration yields only slight improvement in the resulting summaries and cannot beat a dummy baseline consisting of the first sentence in the document. Nevertheless, we argue that this approach relies on basic linguistic mechanisms and is therefore genre-independent.
Design of a High-Frequency High-Voltage Pulse Power Supply for Cable Fault Detection

Abstract This paper aims at designing a small size, light weight high-frequency high-voltage (HFHV) pulse power supply for cable fault detection, achieving integration of cable fault detection system. The 3.5 kW/35 kVpulse power supply adopts series-parallel resonant converter topology to compensate the distributed parameter. Both the switching frequency and the duty cycle are utilised as actuating variables to cope with the large ranges of output, by this method the switch and anti-parallel diode can achieve soft switching within a small range of switching frequency adjustment 18 to 25 kHz. Furthermore, segmental-data-processing method is proposed in this paper, by this method multiple different steady-state operating points can be obtained to cope with different load which improves the efficiency and stability of the system effectively. Through theoretical analysis and large number of experiments, the structure of the HFHV transformer is optimised. Some special methods are taken to strengthen insulation and speed up the heat diffusion of the HFHV transformer. Air-gap isolation and semi-circular arc extinguishing strategies are provided to reduce corona and electromagnetic interference caused by discharging. This paper presents detailed design considerations and complete performance results for the chosen design.
The influence of availability, affect and empirical evidence on individual differences in children's understanding of pretence.

This research focused on the issue of children's understanding of the pretend-reality distinction. In particular, it investigated several features of the availability hypothesis (Harris, Brown, Marriott, Whittall & Harmer, 1991; Johnson & Harris, 1994) and the pretence continuation account (Golomb & Galasso, 1995) which have been previously offered as competing explanations for children's behaviours during pretence. Specifically, the experiments reported here explored the role of differing forms of affect in both of these accounts and assessed the constraining influence of empirical evidence of reality on the effects of increased cognitive availability. To this end, a series of seven related experiments were conducted in which four to seven year old children (N = 591) were asked to pretend about the contents of empty boxes. The children's behaviours on a series of box selection tasks were then observed under conditions of differing affect and varying levels of empirical evidence (experiments 1 to 5). The children's spontaneous behaviours were also video recorded (experiments 6 and 7). Taken together, the results suggest that there are interactions between individual differences, age, affect and levels of empirical evidence which predict children's propensity towards making pretend-reality confusions. In relation to previous explanations of children's behaviour, the pretence continuation account (Golomb & Galasso, 1995) is unable to explain the complexity of the current findings and the results are instead more consistent with an account involving individual differences such as that proposed by Johnson and Harris (1994). However, there are two crucial contributions which the experiments reported here can make to these explanations. First, there are developmental changes which take place between four and seven years of age in relation to pretend-reality understanding and these changes interact with the individual differences identified by Johnson and Harris (1994). Second, the present data provide evidence of the central role played by affect in children's pretence. Overall, this thesis offers an account of children's understanding of the distinction between pretence and reality which incorporates both developmental and individual differences.

Epidemiology of road traffic injuries in Iran: based on the data from Disaster Management Information System (DMIS) of the Iranian Red Crescent

Background: Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are the leading cause of injuries and the second cause of mortality in Iran. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiological pattern of RTIs in Iran based on the data from disaster management information system (DMIS) of the Iranian Red Crescent. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the pattern of RTIs in Iran was studied based on the data from DMIS in the period from 20 March 2012 to 19 February 2016 (35 months). All of the 78775 RTIs recorded were selected through census. Data analysis was done using the SPSS.16 software package. P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Among the 19 types of accidents whose data are recorded, road traffic accidents with a 78775 number of occurrence (136.1 ± 86.5 per 100000 people), 186860 injuries (332.1 ± 220 per 100000 people) and 12596 deaths (22.6 ± 11.1 per 100000 people) were the highest in ranking. The most common annunciator of the accidents was the emergency. Receiving the first report of the rescue operation was most done by telephone. The mean number of the operational forces involved in RTIs per 100000 people was 529.2 ± 407. The results showed that there was a significant difference between high, moderate and low population rate provinces in the mean number of injuries cases, the mortality of RTIs and the total number of Red Crescent operational forces (P Conclusions: Considering the high occurrence of the mortality and the injuries of the RTIs compared to that of the other types of accidents, more attention to RTIs in planning and interventions seems necessary.

Black visuality and the practice of refusal

What constitutes a practice of refusal? This article engages the practice of refusal collaboratively articulated by the Practicing Refusal Collective, a group founded three years ago by myself and Saidiya Hartman. It does so by unpacking a series of keywords that, I argue, define the contours of an emergent black visuality that itself constitutes a practice of refusal as enacted by two contemporary artists who are creating radical modalities of witnessing that refuse authoritative forms of visuality which function to refuse blackness itself. Focusing on works by Arthur Jafa and Luke Willis Thompson, and viewing them through their use of critical optics of relationality and adjacency, the article explores the affective labor required by their respective cinematic practices and their capacity to engage negation as generative and radically transformative.
Pesquisa Nacional de Aborto 2016

We present the results of the Brazilian National Abortion Survey of 2016 (2016 PNA) and compare them to those obtained in the 2010 PNA as per the profile of women and the magnitude of abortion. The PNA is based on a random sample that combines ballot-box questionnaires with face-to-face interviews with women ages 18 to 39 in urban areas of Brazil. The results show that abortion is a common and persistent occurrence among women of all social classes, racial groups, educational levels, and religions: in 2016, almost 1 in every 5 women had undergone at least one abortion by the age of 40. In 2015, approximately 416,000 women had an abortion. There is, however, heterogeneity among the social groups, with abortions being more frequent among women of lower educational levels, women who are Black, Brown and Indigenous, and women living in the North, Northeastern and Mid-western regions of the country. In line with the 2010 PNA, half of all women took medicine to abort and almost half of them were hospitalized to complete the abortion.
NEW ANALYSIS OF VISUALIZATION IN EDUINFORMATICS USING A NETWORK WITH PARAMETRIC AND NONPARAMETRIC CORRELATION COEFFICIENTS WITH THRESHOLD

Eduinformatics, a new term coined by us, is a field that combines education and informatics, and novel techniques will need to be developed for this field. Earlier, we developed a new visualization method to visualize the curriculum of Kobe Tokiwa University using multidimensional scaling (MDS) and a scatter plot. In this study, our focus is on methods to analyze the relationships between answers to questions in eduinformatics questionnaires. MDS methods are very useful, but have limitations in that their results are difficult to interpret. To facilitate the interpretation of these results, we develop a new visualization method using a network with both parametric and non-parametric correlation coefficients with a threshold (VNCC). VNCC has nine steps. We apply the VNCC method to research on nursing education, and provide an example of the visualization of the result. VNCC methods will be useful in dealing with qualitative research in eduinformatics.
Translation-Memory (TM) Research: What Do We Know and How Do We Know It?

It is no exaggeration to say that the advent of translation-memory (TM) systems in the translation profession has led to drastic changes in translators’ processes and workfl ow, and yet, though many professional translators nowadays depend on some form of TM system, this has not been the object of much research. Our paper attempts to fi nd out what we know about the nature, applications and infl uences of TM technology, including translators’ interaction with TMs, and also how we know it. An essential part of the analysis is based on a selection of empirical TM studies, which we assume to be representative of the research fi eld as a whole. Our analysis suggests that, while considerable knowledge is available about the technical side of TMs, more research is needed to understand how translators interact with TM technology and how TMs infl uence translators’ cognitive translation processes.
The role of neutrophil extracellular traps in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases

This thesis investigated neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases, including chronic periodontitis, experimental gingivitis and Papillon Lefevre syndrome (PLS). \(In\) \(vitro\) assays investigated the interactions between periodontal bacteria and peripheral neutrophils isolated by discontinuous Percoll gradients, and demonstrated differential NET release in response to bacteria. Interestingly, NETs entrapped all periodontal bacteria assayed to some extent; however bacterial growth and survival were not impeded. A longitudinal intervention clinical study of chronic periodontitis patients and matched healthy controls revealed no differences in peripheral NET production; however NET production by patients decreased following non-surgical treatment. Furthermore, a subset of patients displayed impeded NET degradation by plasma that was restored following disease treatment; this may be the result of increased circulating immunoglobulins and free light chains (FLCs) pre-treatment. Peripheral NET production did not change throughout the experimental gingivitis model study; however NET release was impeded in PLS patients relative to healthy controls. Additional \(in\) \(vitro\) studies demonstrated that cigarette smoking had an inhibitory effect on NET release. Collectively, this thesis indicates that NETs contribute to innate immunity, however, given that periodontitis pathogenesis is characterised by aberrant neutrophil responses, NETs may also be involved in the progression of the disease.
Marqueurs microsatellites chez l'huître plate Ostrea edulis l. : caractérisation et applications à un programme de sélection pour une résistance au parasite Bonamia ostreae et à l'etude de populations naturelles

L'huitre plate Ostrea edulis L. est l'huitre indigene des cotes europeennes aussi bien atlantiques que mediterraneennes. Son exploitation commerciale remonte a l'Antiquite mais son elevage est aujourd'hui menace par deux protozoaires parasites dont Bonamia ostreae. Differents aspects de la genetique des populations naturelles et cultivees de cette espece ont ete etudies a l'aide de marqueurs microsatellites. Dans un premier temps, la realisation et le criblage de deux banques genomiques partielles ont permis l'identification de 28 nouveaux locus microsatellites. L'analyse de la segregation de 12 de ces locus et de deux locus enzymatiques montre que la plupart des locus microsatellites sont transmis de facon mendelienne, mais certains locus presentent des distorsions de segregation importantes. Par ailleurs, sept groupes de liaison dont quatre contiennent au moins deux marqueurs ont ete identifies chez Ostrea edulis. La variabilite genetique de trois populations selectionnees depuis une ou deux generations pour une resistance a Bonamia ostreae a ete analysee a l'aide de 5 locus microsatellites. Malgre l'absence de donnees genealogiques, nous avons montre que ces populations selectionnees etaient issues d'un tres faible nombre de geniteurs fondateurs (de 3 a 15 selon les populations) et pour deux populations, la genealogie a pu etre reconstituee et les liens de parente entre les individus ont ete identifies. Ces populations selectionnees presentent, outre une tres faible variabilite genetique, des niveaux de consanguinite reels et parfois eleves. Ces resultats ont une implication importante pour la continuation du programme de selection (gestion de la consanguinite, augmentation de la variabilite genetique par introduction de geniteurs sauvages).
Algorithm of Ground Object Detection with Modified SURF Method by Using Morphological Features

Two approaches are combined into one algorithm in order to reach better accuracy of ground object detection and tracking. Blob analysis provides the separation of detected object by morphological criterion (mostly minimum area threshold is used) and is used to determine the region of interest for further selection of feature points. Points are detected and described by Speed-Up Robust Feature descriptors method. Due to combination the amount of processing information is decrease that leads to increasing of not only the accuracy but also efficiency of algorithm.
Automatic compositionality detection from corpora

Phrasal verbs in English present varying levels of semantic idiosyncrasies. Aiming to detect some of these idiosyncrasies (in this case, how much of the meaning of a phrasal verb can be extracted from each of its words) a set of measures was proposed by MCC (2003), which use a thesaurus as input. This work reimplements those measures, focusing on checking how robust they are, by applying them on several thesauri. The thesauri were built using the method in Lin (1998). We evaluate our results using a gold standard, and the results suggest the PMI as the best way to filter the contexts the verbs are found in.
Privacy Advisors for Personal Information Management

Personal Health Record is a beneficial tool, especially for managing personal health information. As the value of per- sonal health information differs from patient to patient, pa- tient confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in such a tool. This paper demonstrates how patients could unintention- ally violate the privacy of others, just by disclosing their own personal information. Legal, ethical, and social aspects of the disclosure of personal health information is discussed and a new patient privacy tool proposed.
Psychometric properties of the Treatment Outcomes Profile (TOP) psychological health scale

This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Treatment Outcomes Profile (TOP) psychological health scale (item 4a) as a case finding tool for common mental disorders (CMDs). This cross-sectional diagnostic validation study involved 103 outpatients in a mainstream community drugs treatment service in Leeds, United Kingdom. Psychiatric diagnosis of a CMD was established using a structured gold-standard interview (CIS-R) based on ICD-10 criteria. Participants also completed the TOP measure and severity of dependence scale (SDS). A TOP item 4a score ≤12 had a sensitivity of 83% and specificity of 71% for a diagnosable CMD, with moderate agreement between baseline and re-test measures (intra-class correlation = 0.78). The TOP scale was negatively correlated with overall CIS-R severity scores (r = −0.60, p 12 and a reliable change index ≥6. Psychometric testing in this mo.
Proceeedings of the Workshop on NLP and XML (NLPXML-2004): RDF/RDFS and OWL in Language Technology

This is the fourth in the NLPXML series of workshops on natural language processing and XML. The first two workshops (NLPXML-2001 in Tokyo and NLPXML-2002 in Taipei) were primarily concerned with XML-based NLP tools and the use of XML in a wide range of NLP tasks. As XML rapidly became fully accepted within the NLP community, the theme of the third workshop (NLPXML- 2003 in Budapest) shifted to the new challenges and opportunities of the Semantic Web. The present workshop continues this theme by focusing on RDF/RDFS and OWL. While "plain XML" has become the established standard for data representation, especially for purposes of interchange and software interoperability, the use of RDF (Resource Definition Framework), RDFS (RDF Schema) and OWL (Web Ontology Language) for NLP applications remains relatively limited. However, the combination of XML, RDF/RDFS and OWL provides an overall architecture for NLP resources of all kinds whose implications are still being worked out within the NLP community. NLPXML-2004 provides a forum for presentation and discussion of practical applications of RDF, RDFS and OWL in NLP. The workshop is intended not only for those already using Semantic Web technologies, but also members of the NLP community who seek a fuller understanding of the motivations and implications of these standards for the field. The workshop program is designed to move progressively from XML, via metadata and RDF, to ontologies and OWL, and finally to their combined use for NLP applications. In this way, the workshop aims to clarify the respective roles of XML, RDF/RDFS and OWL in language technology, in relation to the growth of the Semantic Web.
Knowledge Discovery in Virtual Worlds Usage Data: approaching Web Mining concepts to 3D Virtual Environments

This paper examines the relationships between Web and Virtual Worlds, and how these relationships can be used to approach concepts of knowledge discovery from Web Mining to 3D environments, such as Virtual Worlds. Also it will explain how to track information of usage data for knowledge discovery and what goals can be planned for this process. Every theoretical concept will be shown with examples, including the usage options to collect, data input to the entire process, relevant information extraction from raw data, techniques to discover knowledge and several considerations to decide and represent what knowledge is useful for the user. Based on these concepts a framework is presented in which, by comparison and approach to Web Usage Mining, may be defined an entire process of Knowledge Discovery and Data Analysis.
