Using SSE and SSE2 : Misconceptions and reality

A source for providing a voltage or current which is (remotely) controlled by a digital signal includes a digital-to-analogue converter (30) which supplies a proportion of a reference voltage (VR) in accordance with the digital signal. The gain of an amplifier (48, 50) receiving an oscillatory signal is controlled by an error integrator (32) in dependence upon the difference between the converter output and a feedback signal derived via a precision rectifier (62) from a secondary winding (60) on a transformer (56), the primary (54) of which is coupled to the amplifier output, so the feedback signal tracks the converter output. Another (isolated) secondary winding (66) and precision rectifier (70) provide an output voltage equal to the feedback signal; the output voltage can be used to control a voltage-controlled current source (74). Although the output voltage or current is d.c. isolated, it tracks the reference voltage, so the source (14) can be coupled to the (floating) input circuitry (22a) of a digital voltmeter (22) and at the same time track the reference voltage in the separately-earthed analogue-to-digital converter (22b) of the voltmeter.
A double line SIW cavity backed antenna for WLAN applications

A compact double line substrate integrated waveguide (DLSIW) cavity backed antenna is realized using half mode SIW technology for WLAN applications. The existing single line SIW antennas for WLAN applications have low gain and less efficiency. To overcome this limitation, DLSIW structure is proposed. The new DLSIW structure simultaneously achieves better gain, radiation efficiency, and good front to back ratio (FTBR) with compact size. To improve the FTBR, ground extension is made. The size reduction of the proposed design is implemented with half mode SIW topology. The gain and efficiency improved new DLSIW antenna is fabricated using FR4 material and it resonates at 5.27GHz WLAN frequency. The size of antenna is 44 mm × 18.75 mm × 1.6 mm and it has the gain of 5.824 dB. The radiation efficiency and FTBR of the antenna are 69.13% and 13.65 dB, respectively. The design is experimentally tested and compared with earlier WLAN antennas. There is a better accordance between simulated and measured results.
Bitemporal Data: Theory and Practice

Bitemporal data has always been important. But it was not until 2011 that the ISO released a SQL standard that supported it. Currently, among major DBMS vendors, Oracle, IBM and Teradata now provide at least some bitemporal functionality in their flagship products. But to use these products effectively, someone in your IT organization needs to know more than how to code bitemporal SQL statements. Perhaps, in your organization, that person is you. To correctly interpret business requests for temporal data, to correctly specify requirements to your IT development staff, and to correctly design bitemporal databases and applications, someone in your enterprise needs a deep understanding of both the theory and the practice of managing bitemporal data. Someone also needs to understand what the future may bring in the way of additional temporal functionality, so their enterprise can plan for it. Perhaps, in your organization, that person is you. This is the book that will show the do-it-yourself IT professional how to design and build bitemporal databases and how to write bitemporal transactions and queries, and will show those who will direct the use of vendor-provided bitemporal DBMSs exactly what is going on "under the covers" of that software. Explains the business value of bitemporal data in terms of the information that can be provided by bitemporal tables and not by any other form of temporal data, including history tables, version tables, snapshot tables, or slowly-changing dimensions. Provides an integrated account of the mathematics, logic, ontology and semantics of relational theory and relational databases, in terms of which current relational theory and practice can be seen as unnecessarily constrained to the management of nontemporal and incompletely temporal data. Explains how bitemporal tables can provide the time-variance and nonvolatility hitherto lacking in Inmon historical data warehouses. Explains how bitemporal dimensions can replace slowly-changing dimensions in Kimball star schemas, and why they should do so. Describes several extensions to the current theory and practice of bitemporal data, including the use of episodes, "whenever" temporal transactions and queries, and future transaction time. Points out a basic error in the ISO's bitemporal SQL standard, and warns practitioners against the use of that faulty functionality. Recommends six extensions to the ISO standard which will increase the business value of bitemporal data. Points towards a tritemporal future for bitemporal data, in which an Aristotelian ontology and a speech-act semantics support the direct management of the statements inscribed in the rows of relational tables, and add the ability to track the provenance of database content to existing bitemporal databases. This book also provides the background needed to become a business ontologist, and explains why an IT data management person, deeply familiar with corporate databases, is best suited to play that role. Perhaps, in your organization, that person is you.
Compliance control for biped locomotion robot

Biped locomotion is a periodic motion governed by a characteristic rhythm. Authors have pointed out the necessity of the regularity of the rhythm for stable walking, and have proposed the control method for the robot based on the locomotion rhythm. In this paper, to realize stable walking even in an environment with uncertainties, the concept of compliance is introduced into the locomotion control scheme. Some simulations and experiments show that the stable walking can be realized in the real environment.

A proposal for a remotely shared control systems laboratory

The authors present a futuristic approach to sharing one of the most expensive components of engineering education, the laboratory. The objective of the shared laboratory is to improve the effectiveness of the control and instrumentation laboratory experience for undergraduates. An experimental station can be operated from a computer in a classroom, or from a computer at a remote location or another campus. A multimedia configuration using a graphical user interface and remote logon capability is envisioned. The system will provide the tools to predict system performance with a simulation, show data as they are generated, analyze data after they are taken, and show a visual presentation of the experimental configuration with video disc. This facility will permit cooperative development of laboratory experiments and comparison of pedagogical approaches with others who use the experimental packages (software and hardware). <<ETX>>
The relationship between maternal depression (antenatal and pre-school stage) and childhood behavioural problems

Abstract Objective: This study aims to determine if there is a relationship between antenatal depression and maternal depression in the following three to four years. Secondly, to establish if there is a relationship between maternal depression and behavioural problems with the pre-school child. Thirdly, to investigate if social parameters are correlated with maternal health and childhood behaviour. Method: In a longitudinal study, a sample of women were screened for depression at the antenatal stage and followed up four years later. Mothers were screened for depressive illness on both occasions. Children's behaviour was assessed at four years. Social parameters were also measured at the pre-school stage. Result: Depression at the antenatal stage was not found to be significantly related to depression at the pre-school stage. The existence of a behaviour problem was not significantly related to the depressive state of the mother antenatally, however a currently depressed mother is approximately six times more likely to have a child with behaviour problems than a mother who is not depressed. Social factors were also assessed and found to correlate with maternal depression. Conclusion: In managing a child with behavioural problems the child psychiatrist should consider the mental state of the mother. The social world of the individual would appear to be important and should not be ignored when treating either a child with behavioural problems or an adult with depression.
Biological Markers in Pediatric Brain Tumors

textabstractThe most common solid tumors in children are brain tumors1. Yearly, approximately 2-2.5 per 100,000 children of <15 years of age are diagnosed with a brain tumor1. Despite improved survival rates, brain tumors in children are still the second leading cause of death due to cancer in children. Moreover, serious long-term side effects due to the localization of the tumor and due to treatment result in a considerable decrease in the quality of life in surviving patients. Pediatric brain tumors differ from those arising in adults in localization, histology and responsiveness to therapy2, 3. Approximately 50% of the brain tumors in childhood are found infratentorial, whereas most of the tumors in adults arise in and around the cerebral hemispheres3. Regarding histology, embryonal central nervous system (CNS) tumors are almost solely found in children, whereas meningeomas and metastases to the brain predominantly arise in adults and are rare in children (Table 1). Astrocytic tumors are the most frequent brain tumors in children (~25%). This group of tumors comprises a wide range of clinically, histologically and biologically distinct subtypes4. In children, the most common subtype is the grade I pilocytic astrocytoma, whereas grade III anaplastic astrocytoma and grade IV glioblastoma predominate in adults. Unlike adults, children frequently develop malignant glioma within the brainstem, which is associated with a very poor prognosis due to the limited treatment options5.
Spectacle, shock, and surfacing (considering the practice of installation art to make meaning of everyday life in a technologically driven visual culture world)

Spectacle, Shock, and Surfacing is a conceptual thesis that involves making connections between meaning making for everyday life and the practice of installation art in a technologically driven visual culture. Key areas explored include: visual culture, how we stop and engage, and calling attention to visual culture through performative inquiry in installation art. These connections are theorized through phenomenology, embodiment, and performative inquiry related to spatiality, perception, and the human body. The point of departure is a historical overview of conceptual art, performance art, and installation art contributions to the social dimensions of inquiry. The potential of interrogating visual culture or reconfiguring understanding of who we are by entering into an installation art form as an embodied participant is explored through reference to several known art installations. The spectator/participant enters the installation art form as an active engager, as a means to decentre centred notions of everyday life through the appropriation of congruent images to challenge visual culture. Visual culture is explored conceptually, and through the author’s participation in an installation art project, “Escape from Amnesia: this is not a pipe. ” Such embodied participation allows for ‘stop’ moments of possibilities that call the spectator/participant to attention. The potential of learning and/or reconfiguring understanding of who we are by entering into an installation art form as an embodied participant presses for active inquiry, critical and creative engagement, through performative inquiry from the vantage point of a ‘wide awake’ individual. The potential for a reflexive pedagogy in understanding the art world, the world in which we dwell, in relationship to our selves and each other is heightened. Key-Installation art, performative inquiry, reflexivity, phenomenology, enactivism, visual culture.
Improved Bayesian ISAR Imaging by Learning the Local Structures of the Target Scene

In inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging, some weak scatterers might be missing in the results obtained by conventional compressive sensing (CS)-based methods. This paper proposes a novel method to preserve the weak scatterers by exploiting the local structures of the target scene statistically in the imaging process. Particularly, we partition the target scene into many overlapping patches, and the local structure in each patch is represented by the covariance matrix, which is learned from the measurements. Simultaneously, the Dirichlet process (DP) priors are exploited to accomplish the clustering of the local structures. Under the sparse Bayesian learning framework, the scatterers are modeled hierarchically, and we tailor the variational Bayesian inference (VBI) to incorporate the structural information into the reconstruction of the target image, where the weak scatterers can be preserved. Comprehensive experiments based on synthetic data, electromagnetic (EM) simulated data, and real data have validated the performance of the proposed method.
Sexual dimorphism in the endemic Sardinian cave salamander (Atylodes genei)

Abstract. Sexual dimorphism in the size and shape of the Sardinian cave salamander (Atylodes genei) was analysed using morphometric measurements. Males and females are roughly equal in body size (mean snout-vent length SVL: 53.8 and 53.4 mm, respectively) but differed in body shape. Relative to their SVL, males had comparatively larger heads, longer limbs and tails than females, which agrees with patterns of sexual dimorphism in other closely related species. This suggests the existence of phylogenetic conservatism in sexual differences in body shape. The lack of dimorphism in body size could be an ancestral trait in Atylodes genei.
Meta-Analysis of Ventilated versus Spontaneously Breathing Patients in Predicting Fluid Responsiveness by Inferior Vena Cava Variation

Purpose: Respiratory variation in inferior vena cava (ΔIVC) has been extensively studied in predicting fluid responsiveness, but the results are conflicting. We performed a systemic review and meta-analysis of studies aiming at investigating the diagnostic accuracy of ΔIVC in predicting fluid responsiveness. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Database and Web of Science were screened for relevant original and review articles from inception to July 2016. The meta-analysis determined the pooled sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and area under the ROC curve (AUROC). In addition, subgroup analyses were performed in mechanically ventilated patients and spontaneously breathing patients. Results: A total of 20 studies involving 635 patients were included. Cutoff values of ΔIVC varied from 12% to 42%, the pooled sensitivity and specificity was 0.68 (0.62 - 0.75) and 0.80 (0.75 - 0.85), respectively. The DOR was 14.2 (6.0 - 33.6) and the AUROC was 0.86 (0.78 - 0.93). Subgroup analysis showed better diagnostic performance in patients on mechanical ventilation than in spontaneously breathing patients with higher sensitivity (0.75 vs. 0.56), specificity (0.82 vs. 0.78), DOR (22.9 vs. 7.9) and AUROC (0.90 vs. 0.80). The best threshold of ΔIVC in patients on mechanical ventilation was IVC distensibility index (ΔIVC ≥ 17% ± 4%), compared to IVC collapsibility index (ΔcIVC ≥ 33% ± 12%) in spontaneously breathing patients. Conclusion: ΔIVC is not an accurate predictor of fluid responsiveness in patients with acute circulatory failure. In patients on mechanical ventilation, the predicting ability of ΔIVC was moderate with acceptable sensitivity and specificity; in spontaneously breathing patients, the specificity remains acceptable but its sensitivity is poor.
The Value of Speech Mapping in Hearing-Aid Fitting

Modern multi-channel hearing aids have many adjustable parameters. It is usually possible to adjust the compression threshold and the gain at two or more levels, separately in each frequency channel or in groups of channels. It may also be possible to adjust the crossover frequency between channels (mainly possible in aids with a small number of channels). Sometimes it is also possible to adjust the attack and release times of the compression, or to select between different forms of compression, such as dual time constant (Moore and Glasberg, 1988; Stone et al., 1999) or fast-acting (syllabic) (Villchur, 1973; Moore et al., 1992). Finally, it may be possible to adjust extra features, such as low-level expansion (described below), feedback cancellation, or noise reduction. The large number of parameters means that it is essential to have some well-defined way of setting the hearing aid to suit the individual person, and to verify that the hearing aid is performing as desired.
The BE06 Corpus of British English and recent language change

This paper describes the BE06 Corpus, a one million word reference corpus of general written British English that was designed to be comparable to the Brown family of corpora. After providing a description of the Brown sampling frame, and giving the rationale for building a new corpus, the process of building the BE06 is elaborated upon, with reference to collecting previously published texts from internet sources, defining "British" authors and enabling accessibility of the corpus. Three studies of lexical frequency using BE06 and comparable corpora (LOB, FLOB and BLOB) are then carried out. These involve a comparison of the 20 most frequent lexical items, an examination of pronoun usage, and an investigation of keywords derived from comparing the 1991 FLOB corpus with the BE06. The paper ends with a critical evaluation of the worth of using the same sampling frame for linguistic studies of diachronic variation.
‘The scarier the better? Effects of adding images to verbal warnings on cigarette packages

An experiment with 214 participants compared the effects of existing verbal anti-smoking warnings with new photo warnings on tobacco packaging as proposed by the EU. A distinction was made between photos showing the harmful effects of smoking on the body in highly explicit fashion and photos doing so indirectly and metaphorically. In smokers, the new warnings did not increase their expectation that they would change their smoking behavior, but smokers indicated that they would shield themselves more actively from the warnings when these incorporate fear-evoking photos. In non-smokers, the new warnings did increase their expectation that they would not start smoking, but they too show an even stronger tendency to display conscious defensive behavior against the EU-proposed visual warnings. These effects are mainly due to confrontation with visual warning versions that explicitly depict smoking-induced damage to the body.
Longitudinal assessment of age-related change in the dental pulp chamber and age estimation using dental radiographs

This dissertation presents a new and practical method of adult age estimation with successful tests of its validity and repeatability. Six qualitative criteria evident in oral radiographs were developed from 37 subjects represented on three occasions each. Age was estimated from averaged criterion scores by reduced major axis (Model II) regression incorporating longitudinal information for prediction with cross-sectional data. Spearman correlation of scores to known age was rs = 0.82, for 45 subjects aged 17 to 86 years in an independent test set. Mean error of estimated age was 0.08 years (SD 8.3 years). In contrast, longitudinal premolar pulp chamber sizes typically showed Pearson correlations to age of r ≈ -0.50, with no pattern of association by premolar type, sex, or trend over time useful in age estimation. Eleven raters with experience in skeletal analysis ranging from student to professional showed the qualitative method to be independently repeatable using only a written rubric and graphic examples. Raters’ scores had Spearman correlations to age of 0.70 < rs < 0.85, and a mean error of 0.91 years (SD 13.7 years), in a sample of 20 subjects selected for approximately equal distribution by age and sex. Oral radiography is noninvasive, commonly available to archaeologists and routine in forensic identifications. This qualitative method is applicable in adults through age 90, and may be incorporated into existing protocols to advance assessment of population distribution and individual age.
