Analysis of BMW Model for Title Word Selection on Indic Script

A title is a short summary that represents document’s main theme. Title can help the reader to have the main idea without reading the entire document. To generate a title for a document, we have to select appropriate words as title words and put them in sequence. The process of generating title for a given document by using machine, can be done by using summarization approaches or by using Statistical approaches or by combing both. For a given document, selecting appropriate words for generating a title by using any available approach mainly depends on the characteristics of the language. In this paper ,we have examined the influence of the language characteristics in the process of title word selection by using the Naive Bayes probabilistic approach ( called BMW Model ) on the documents which are available in the language ' Telugu '. And also we have investigated the influence of word weight for the selection of title words in BMW Model. By using F1 metric, we have evaluated the title word selection process.

Fading-resistant low-latency broadcasts in wireless multihop networks: the probabilistic cooperation diversity approach

Present broadcast approaches for wireless multihop networks distribute packets quickly to all nodes (i.e., with low latency) by constructing small broadcast trees, thereby reducing the number of forwarding transmissions. While these trees are sufficient in non-fading environments, we show that they have a low delivery rate under fading. As a solution, we (1) incorporate the Rayleigh fading model directly into tree construction to re-obtain complete distribution with high probability. To still achieve low latency at the same time, we combine transmissions at individual nodes to exploit cooperation diversity. Since in broadcasts, a packet has to be retransmitted by nodes along the tree anyway, we do not have to pay the multiplexing loss which hampers cooperation diversity in the unicast case. Thus, we (2) additionally exploit cooperation diversity during tree construction to gain improved reliability while still keeping the size of the tree low. This enables us to significantly decrease the time for broadcasts while still distributing packets to all nodes under fading with high probability. To justify our heuristic approach, we (3) show that finding minimum latency cooperative broadcasts is NP-complete.
Projektstyrning i totalprojekteringsföretag : en styrmodell vid anbud till fast pris

When companies are composed of a large amount of departments that work in the same project more and more difficulties in controlling co-workers and resources arise. Unlike other companies that deliver products that the entire company with all of its departments together, piece by piece, puts together it is here a case about each department making a fully marketable product with its own budget. The company will in the latter case need ways to formulate a budget that gather all departments and there products and to develop tools of control that will assure a reaching of budget. These tools of control can range from the more quantitative to the more qualitative tools. With this thesis we have set out to try to identify these tools of control and through them create a model for companies like the one we have chosen to investigate. This thesis has originated from a case study of the total construction company TM-Konsult. Through an actors point of view we decided to interview all the departments of the company in order to establish the tools of control we thought were the essential ones. Our collected theory has supported our choices we have made and the tolls that we have found. These theories consisted of control theories, motivational theories organizational and project evaluation theories in the form of Earned Value management. This all results in a model supported by both theoretical and empirical data which through our point of view is the way projects in these type of companies could be controlled. In large the model and its factor consist of a higher degree of documentation, more education, usage of milestones and the use of motivational factors.
Cardiac Dynamics during Hemorrhage: Relative Unimportance of Adrenergic Inotropic Responses

We examined, in conscious dogs, the effects of acute hemorrhage on measurements of mean arterial and left ventricular (LV) pressures, LV diameters, LV dP/dt, LV dP/dt/P40, LV dP/dt/ circ, i.e., LV dP/dt divided by LV circumference, and LV dD/dt, i.e., velocity of myocardial fiber shortening. Hemorrhage (30 ml/kg) over 1 hour reduced mean arterial pressure (31 ± 4.3%), LV end-diastolic (21 ± 3.2%) and end-systolic (13 ± 1.6%) diameters, and LV end-diastolic pressure (69 ± 4.6%). Heart rate increased by a maximum of 37 ± 7.5% at 20 ml/kg of blood loss. Indices of myocardial contractility rose slightly (∼10%) during the initial normotensive hemorrhage, but then fell. Hemorrhage (30 ml/kg) reduced LV velocity by 31 ± 2.6%, LV dP/dt by 37 ± 2.9%, LV dP/dt/ P40 by 34 ± 3.5%, and LV dP/dt/circ by 17 ± 7.2%. More rapid hemorrhage, 30 ml/kg at a rate of 1 ml/sec, induced similar effects. After β-adrenergic receptor blockade, the indices of myocardial contractility failed to rise initially and then fell with hemorrhage. The changes in indices of myocardial contractility were only slightly different (∼10%) from those in dogs without blockade. Responses of mean arterial pressure and LV end-diastolic diameter to hemorrhage were essentially identical in the presence and absence of either selective β1- or combined β1- and β2-adrenergic receptor blockades. After hemorrhage, 30 ml/kg, when LV end-diastolic diameter was returned to pre-hemorrhage values by aortic constriction in dogs without β-adrenergic receptor blockade, LV dP/dt returned to, but not significantly above, control levels. Thus, activation of the sympathetic nervous system results in only small increases in cardiac contractility during acute hemorrhage, which are relatively unimportant in cardiovascular control.
L'applicazione delle teorie di Putnam e Donati alle relazioni nei siti di social network:elementi per un'indagine empirica sugli utenti di SNS

The paper illustrates some results of a research which investigate the possible construction of social capital and relational goods within the social network sites (SNS) on the basis of the relational sociology paradigm by P. Donati and the theory of social capital by R. Putnam. The originality of this paper lies in the fact that the conceptual geography of the Italian sociologist and the theory of the merican political expert are declined in the social web environments. The research uses a mix method approach: in the qualitative phase, 12 focus groups have been conducted among social network sites users aged from 11 to 24 years and attending middle school, high school and university. The results of this suggest that the younger consider the social networks as environments where it is possible to build relational goods and social capital, in particular the bridging one. Moreover, Internet allows to strengthen offline bonding social capital, since the web-based communicative and relational practices promote the maintenance of remote ties. The results of the qualitative phase will be useful in developing the items of a questionnaire to be given, in the quantitative phase, to a sample of social network users selected according to the same variables.
On Formal Specification of Emergent Behaviours in Swarm Robotic Systems

It is a characteristic of swarm robotics that specifying overall emergent swarm behaviours in terms of the low-level behaviours of individual robots is very difficult. Yet if swarm robotics is to make the transition from the laboratory to real-world engineering realisation we need such specifications. This paper explores the use of temporal logic to formally specify, and possibly also prove, the emergent behaviours of a robotic swarm. The paper makes use of a simplified wireless connected swarm as a case study with which to illustrate the approach. Such a formal approach could be an important step toward a disciplined design methodology for swarm robotics.
Mindfulness training in vocational dance

Background: Interest regarding the impact of mindfulness on performance has grown dramatically over the past decade, with research focused primarily on its application within the sporting domain. Recent research has explored the integration of mindfulness into the curriculum within vocation dance programs (see Moyle, 2016) with current research building upon these studies investigating mindfulness training programs across two University dance training institutions. This workshop will explore the current research focusing upon the content and delivery of the respective mindfulness programs, with a focus on sharing current observations and findings to-date that may be relevant to practitioners, educators and researchers interested in this field. Evidence: Sport research has shown mindfulness based approaches (e.g., Mindfulness Acceptance Commitment (MAC) (Gardner & Moore, 2007); Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) (Hayes & Wilson, 1994)) facilitate enhanced sport performance and improved personal and psychological wellbeing (Gardner & Moore, 2017). Whilst body-mind connection could be argued to be inherent in dance training, there is limited research investigating specific relationships between mindfulness, dance performance and dancer well-being (Moyle, 2016). Outcomes: This workshop will present two mindfulness training programs that have been implemented in dance courses at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). Conclusions: These programs, while developed independently, both draw from aspects of the MAC and ACT approaches, with content tailored to be dance specific and focused on mindfulness skills that may provide students with strategies to produce optimal performance.
Unsupervised partitioning of numerical attributes using fuzzy sets

The current paper presents an enhanced partitioning mechanism for numerical data. The efficiency of our method will be illustrated through a solid set of tests that have been performed. We have planned this partitioning phase as an initial step in a more complex algorithm to be further studied and implemented. The final goal is to use it for future decision making in automatic image annotation. Fuzzy Sets theory has been used as a base for our clustering algorithm and partitioning. We included this mechanism as a component of a framework we developed for image processing, more exactly for the image segmentation evaluation model we are building.
Fractional Integration with Drift : Estimation in Small

We examine the nite-sample behavior of estimators of the order of integration in a fractionally integrated time-series model. In particular, we compare exact time-domain likelihood estimation to frequency-domain approximate likelihood estimation. We show that over-diierencing is of critical importance for time-domain maximum-likelihood estimation in nite samples. Over-diierencing moves the diierencing parameter (in the over-diierenced model) away from the boundary of the parameter space, while at the same time obviating the need to estimate the drift parameter. The two estimators that we compare are asymptotically equivalent. In small samples, however, the time-domain estimator has smaller mean squared error than the frequency-domain estimator. Although the frequency-domain estima-tor has larger bias than the time-domain estimator for some regions of the parameter bias, it can also have smaller bias. We use a simulation procedure which exploits the approximate linearity of the bias function to reduce the bias in the time-domain estimator.

Free viewpoint video synthesis and presentation from multiple sporting videos

This paper introduces two kinds of free viewpoint observation systems for sporting events captured with uncalibrated multiple cameras in a stadium. In the first system (viewpoint on demand system), a user can watch the realistic sporting scenes with the original stadium. In the second system (mixed reality presentation system), a user can virtually watch the scenes overlaid on a desktop stadium model via a video see-through head mounted display (HMD). In the both systems, the user can observe sporting events from his/her favorite viewpoints, where the virtual view images are synthesized and presented by performing view interpolation. As outdoor scenes often have variations in lighting, we develop the systems to handle the changes of lighting condition. If the captured scene contains shadows, we synthesize the virtual view image of the shadows of the background and the foreground independently from real camera images using projective geometry between cameras. The shadows of the foreground objects are then overlaid on the synthesized background of the original stadium or the stadium model in front of the user respectively. The results indicate that the appearance of shadows can produce a realistic mixed reality presentation.
Cross-Cultural Examination of Women's Body Image Perception.

The media's portrayal of the ideal body image has been shown to be a large determinant of one's body image perception. The desire to be excessively thin can be conceived of as an artifact of White-American culture largely due to the media's influence. This study looks at cultures that have had limited exposure to the American ideal and examines differences in perceptions of body image. Previous research has suggested the existence of cultural differences in body satisfaction, with Caucasian Americans exhibiting excessive concern about their current weight and body image. A 4 X 4 factorial (culture x body image measure design) was used to compare female body image perceptions of Caucasian Americans, African-Americans, Hungarians, and former Soviet Georgians. A significant culture-by-body-image measure interaction was found, with White-Americans showing more desire to be thin than all other cultural groups. Georgian and Hungarian women also preferred an ultra-thin body which could mean that they had adopted the White American ultra-thin ideal through brief exposure to American culture. African-American women, however, were relatively satisfied with their body image which can be attributed, in part, to a lack of internalization of the White American standards for beauty and fashion.

Asking for Help: Survey and Experimental Evidence on Financial Advice and Behavior Change

When do individuals actually improve their financial behavior in response to advice? Using survey data from current defined-contribution plan holders in the RAND American Life Panel (a probability sample of US households), the authors find little evidence of improved DC plan behaviors due to advice, although they cannot rule out problems of reverse causality and selection. To complement the analysis of survey data, they design and implement a hypothetical choice experiment in which ALP respondents are asked to perform a portfolio allocation task, with or without advice. Their results show that unsolicited advice has no effect on investment behavior, in terms of behavioral outcomes. However, individuals who actively solicit advice ultimately improve performance, in spite of negative selection on financial ability. One interesting implication for policymakers is that expanding access to advice can have positive effects (particularly for the less financially literate); however, more extensive compulsory programs of financial counseling may be ultimately ineffective.
' s personal copy An oxygen-isotope record of Holocene climate change in the south-central Brooks Range , Alaska

Understanding the ecological and socio-economic impacts of climatic warming requires knowledge of associated changes in moisture balance. Reconstructions of Holocene moisture-balance variation offer indispensible baseline information against which recent changes can be evaluated. We analyzed Charastem encrustations in the sediments of Takahula Lake, located in the south-central Brooks Range of Alaska, for oxygen and carbon-isotope composition to infer climatic change over the past 8000 years. To help constrain climatic interpretations of the sediment d18O record, we also analyzed water samples from Takahula and other lakes in the region for oxygen and hydrogen isotope composition. Results show that winter precipitation dominates the water balance of these lakes and that post-input evaporation is a key control of lake-water isotope composition of Takahula Lake. Stratigraphic patterns in Chara-d18O, supplemented by those in d13C and sediment lithology, reveal distinct changes in effective moisture (precipitation minus evaporation) over the past 8000 years. Effective moisture was relatively high from 8000 to 5000 cal BP, with marked fluctuations between 6800 and 5000 cal BP. It then decreased to reach a minimum around 4000 cal BP and increased with fluctuations from 4000 to w2500 cal BP, followed by a decreasing trend toward the present that was interrupted by a wet Little Ice Age (centered at 400 cal BP). Aridity during the 20th century was among the highest of the entire 8000-year record. At the millennial timescale, the temporal patterns of moisture-balance shifts at Takahula Lake are broadly coherent with those inferred from previous paleoclimate records from the region. The Chara-d18O values around 5600 cal BP and during the Little Ice Age are up to 5& lower than at present and 3.6& lower than that of the modern input-water to the lake. These exceptionally low values suggest that factors other than effective moisture must have contributed to the pronounced variations in the Takahula Lake d18O record. Increased winter precipitation associated with a westerly Aleutian Low position may account for 1& of the dO decrease. Other factors leading to the O-depletion during these periods probably include decreased temperatures, as well as increased lake-ice cover and associated reductions in
The Quantum Frontier

The success of the abstract model of computation, in terms of bits, logical operations, programming language constructs, and the like, makes it easy to forget that computation is a physical process. Our cherished notions of computation and information are grounded in classical mechanics, but the physics underlying our world is quantum. In the early 80s researchers began to ask how computation would change if we adopted a quantum mechanical, instead of a classical mechanical, view of computation. Slowly, a new picture of computation arose, one that gave rise to a variety of faster algorithms, novel cryptographic mechanisms, and alternative methods of communication. Small quantum information processing devices have been built, and efforts are underway to build larger ones. Even apart from the existence of these devices, the quantum view on information processing has provided significant insight into the nature of computation and information, and a deeper understanding of the physics of our universe and its connections with computation. We start by describing aspects of quantum mechanics that are at the heart of a quantum view of information processing. We give our own idiosyncratic view of a number of these topics in the hopes of correcting common misconceptions and highlighting aspects that are often overlooked. A number of the phenomena described were initially viewed as oddities of quantum mechanics. It was quantum information processing, first quantum cryptography and then, more dramatically, quantum computing, that turned the tables and showed that these oddities could be put to practical effect. It is these application we describe next. We conclude with a section describing some of the many questions left for future work, especially the mysteries surrounding where the power of quantum information ultimately comes from.
Conceptualizing a Genomics Software Institute (GSI)

Microbial ecology has been enhanced greatly by the ongoing ‘omics revolution, bringing half the world’s biomass and most of its biodiversity into analytical view for the first time; indeed, it feels almost like the invention of the microscope and the discovery of the new world at the same time. With major microbial ecology research efforts accumulating prodigious quantities of sequence, protein, and metabolite data, we are now poised to address environmental microbial research at macro scales, and to begin to characterize and understand the dimensions of microbial biodiversity on the planet. What is currently impeding progress is the need for a framework within which the research community can develop, exchange and discuss predictive ecosystem models that describe the biodiversity and functional interactions. Such a framework must encompass data and metadata transparency and interoperation; data and results validation, curation, and search; application programming interfaces for modeling and analysis tools; and human and technical processes and services necessary to ensure broad adoption. Here we discuss the need for focused community interaction to augment and deepen established community efforts, beginning with the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC), to create a science-driven strategic plan for a Genomic Software Institute (GSI).
Regulation of plasminogen activator in 3T3 cells: effect of phorbol myristate acetate on subcellular distribution and molecular weight

The tumor promoter, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), stimulates plasminogen activator production and extracellular release in confluent Swiss 3T3 cells. Coordinated with the increased extracellular release is a redistribution of the activity into plasma membrane-enriched fractions and a shift in the predominant molecular weight species from 75,000 to 49,000 daltons. The evidence suggests that PMA induces the formation of the 49,000 dalton species which is preferentially located in plasma membrane-enriched fractions.
OPTIMALLY SPARSE APPROXIMATIONS OF MULTIVARIATE FUNCTIONS USING COMPACTLY SUPPORTED SHEARLET FRAMES

In this paper, we introduce pyramid-adapted shearlet systems for the three-dimensional setting, and show how one can construct frames for L(R) with this particular shearlet structure. We then introduce a generalized three-dimensional cartoon-like image model class of piecewise C smooth functions with discontinuities on a C smooth surface with 1 < α ≤ 2 and show that pyramid-adapted shearlet systems provide a nearly optimally sparse approximation error rate within this model class measured by means of non-linear, best n-term approximations.
