Portal-Mediation ( WP 4 ) EU-IST Project IST-2003-506826 SEKT SEKT : Semantically Enabled Knowledge Technologies D 4 . 6 . 1 . 1 Report on ontology mediation for case studies V 1

The aim of this deliverable is to identify the requirements for mediation for the SEKT case studies. The data sources from each case study are investigated together with the relationships between them and with the scenarios in which two or more of these data sources are used in conjunction, i.e. where data integration is needed. The requirements for mediation are identified based on these scenarios. We should note that as a result of our analysis we identified the opportunity of some architectural changes for two of the case studies. The new data source landscapes proposed together with guidelines about different mediation approaches should serve as a pillar for the further development of the case studies. Also the identified requirements show that the main mediation functionality on which the tools developed by the WP4 should focus on is ontology alignment.

Forecasting geodetic measurements using finite impulse response artificial neural networks

In this paper, a method for evaluating and forecasting deformation movements present in buildings during tunneling works is described. The data used for processing is gathered from the project ’Prokop’ that has involved tunneling works under residential buildings, all mapped using a geodetic control network, or elevation network. Measurement results from this project are being used by the Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Neural Network as time series to predict future movements/deformations.
COMPASS : comparative particle formation in the atmosphere using simulation chamber study techniques [Discussion paper]

The anthropogenic influence on climate and environment has increased strongly since industrialization about 150 yr ago. The consequences for the atmosphere became more and more apparent and nowadays affect our life quality on Earth progressively. Because of that it is very important to understand the atmospheric processes, on which these effects are based on, in detail. In this study we report the set-up of a novel twin chamber technique that uses the comparative method and establishes an appropriate connection of atmospheric and laboratory methods to broaden the tools for investigations. It is designed to study the impact of certain parameters and gases on ambient processes such as particle formation online and can be applied in a large variety of conditions. The characterisation of both chambers proved that both chambers operate identically with a residence time (xT (COMPASS 1) = 26.5 ± 0.3 min and xT (COMPASS 2) = 26.6 ± 0.4 min) at a typical flow rate of 15 L min−1 and a deposition rate (1.6 ± 0.8) × 10−5 s−1. Comparison measurement showed no significant differences. Therefore operation under atmospheric conditions is trustworthy. To indicate the applicability and the benefit of the system a set of experiments was conducted at different conditions, i.e. urban and remote, enhancing ozone and terpenes as well as reducing sunlight. In the ozone enhanced ambient particle number and volume increased substantially at urban and remote conditions in a different strength. Solar radiation displayed a clear positive effect on particle number as well as terpene addition did at remote conditions. Therefore the system is a useful tool to investigate local precursors, the details of ambient particle formation at surface locations as well as future feedback processes.
MINING FOR SOCIAL SPAM DETECTION

In the era of Social Web, there has been an explosive growth of user-contributed comments posted to various online social media. However, increasingly more misleading and deceptive user comments found at online social media have also been a great concern for consumers and merchants, and social spam have been brought to the attention by the legal circle in recent years. Social spam can cause tremendous loss to both consumers and merchants, and so there is a pressing need to design effective methodologies to detect social spam to maintain the hygiene of online social media. The main contribution of this paper is the illustration of a novel social spam detection methodology which combines word-, topic-, and user-based features to combat social spam. In particular, the proposed methodology is underpinned by the Labeled Latent Dirichlet Allocation (L-LDA) model, a kind of probabilistic generative model. A series of experiments conducted based on the social comments posted to YouTube show that our proposed methodology can achieve a detection accuracy of 91.17%. The business implication of our research is that merchants can apply our methodology to filter spam so as to extract accurate market intelligence from online social media. Moreover, social media site owners can leverage the proposed methodology to maintain the hygiene of their sites.
Diversity Status and Sustainable Uses of Some Minor Forest Products in Ban Thung Soong Community Forest in Krabi Province, Thailand

The diversity status and sustainable uses of some Minor Forest Products in Ban Thung Soong Community Forest in Krabi Province were evaluated based on Important Value Index (IVI) analysis, utilizing method and quantitative ecological data based on local wisdom. The studies were found that at the highest level of 200-300 m altitude, the number of trees and total basal area was the highest than at level elevations of 0-100 m and 100-200 m from 12 stands (20x50 m 2 /stand). From IVI analysis, there were 65 species of plants found in Ban Thung Soong Community Forest (BTSCF). Analysis of IVI were found that the Xylia xylocarpa (Roxb.) Taub. var. kerrii (Craib & Hutch.) I.C. Nielsen shows the highest IVI with 22.37%. The highest percentage of relative density, relative frequencies and relative dominance were found in Homalium undulatum King with 7.50%, and 7.55% with Xylia xylocarpa (Roxb.) Taub. var. kerrii (Craib & Hutch.) I.C. Nielsen respectively. The numbers of species in BTSCF were 49+65 species ha -1 and comprises of number of trees, saplings and seedlings ha -1 were 4,697; 119,166 and 252,500 of trees ha -1 respectively. There were 49 species categorized as Minor Forest Products (MFPs) which include medicinal plants, edible plants, and non-edible plants.
Reduction to monostatic focusing of bistatic or motion uncompensated SAR surveys

The authors study the response caused by a point scatterer in the general case of bistatic surveys. The relative time–space function, called the flat top hyperbola, is derived. The complexity of this curve stimulates the reduction of a general bistatic survey to a monostatic one, following the techniques used in seismic data processing. The scatterers corresponding to a single received pulse in a bistatic configuration are located on the intersection of the ground plane with an isochronal ellipsoid that has source and receiver as foci. These scatterers are then considered as targets of a monostatic configuration. Thus, a bistatic configuration is reduced to a monostatic one by identifying an approximate space-varying transfer function between the two configurations. This paper, a sequel to a recently published paper, also addresses the problem of motion compensation, in that the first survey could also be monostatic, and the location of the second monostatic survey is at choice. The use of a digital elevation model is shown to be essential for the correct determination of the transfer function in the general case. It is not necessary if the source and receivers have a constant distance and follow the same trajectory.
Reducing Torque Ripples of the Axial Flux PM Motors by Magnet Stepping and Shifting

Higher efficiency on electric machines is the research goal of many studies. An example is the axial flux permanent magnet machines. These machines have some advantages like their watt/kg efficiency and torque density. This study aims to develop the performance characteristics of the axial flux permanent magnet machines. A new rotor magnet poles design in axial flux machines is suggested to mitigate the torque ripples. The method of stepping and shifting of the magnets is used. Two different designs are compared to verify the proposed approach. 3D finite element analysis is used for simulations. Torque ripple and back electromotive force waveforms are obtained from computer analysis. As a conclusion, the suggested method is found to be useable and mitigates the torque ripples. In addition to that, back EMF waveforms are turned to sinusoidal by the suggested design.

Morphological Alterations of the Fission Yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe in the presence of Aculeacin A : Spherical Wall Formation.

SUMMARY: The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, grown in the presence of aculeacin A (Acu), an antifungal antibiotic, forms spherical rather than cylindrical walls. This aberrant morphogenesis was studied in the presence of Acu at 1 μg ml-1under conditions in which over 90% of the cells continued to grow but with altered morphology. Microscopic observations and chemical analyses revealed that the spherical walls had a looser structure than the cylindrical wall and that their syntheses of alkali-insoluble glucan and mannan were reduced whereas the synthesis of alkali-soluble glucan was enhanced. Spherical walls of glutaraldehyde-fixed cells were hardly digested by Zymolyase 60000 [a (1→3)-β-glucanase] but were digested by Novozym 234 [a (1→3)-α-glucanase]. From these results the components and morphology of the spherical walls are discussed in comparison with the cylindrical walls.
SMEs and the Potential for A Collaborative Path to Environmental Responsibility

Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP EnvironmentGlobally, the potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to collectively impact negatively on the environment is great. Therefore, the adoption, and maintenance, of environmentally responsible practices by this group of firms is especially critical. Studies of environmental practices successfully implemented by small firms have revealed that relationships with other firms, or other organizations, can contribute to greater awareness of the benefits of such activities and, therefore, enhance the possibility of environmental engagement. Collaborative relationships may provide opportunities for SMEs to overcome some of the barriers to implementing environmental initiatives associated with their size, and/or associated characteristics. This paper focuses on attitudes of SME owner-managers to a variety of environmental issues (including regulation and voluntary standards), and to collaborating with other firms (in either a formal or informal sense). The data this paper draws upon are from two waves of an ongoing longitudinal survey of New Zealand SMEs. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.
Stakeholder Influence on the Quality of Non-Financial Information Disclosure in Five Malaysian Sectors

This study was conducted with the aim to determine the relationship between stakeholder and quality of NFI disclosure. Six groups of stakeholders were evaluated in this study namely employees, shareholders, regulators, customers, suppliers and public in general. This study further investigated which stakeholder influence the most towards the quality of NFI disclosure. Data was collected from the annual reports of 170 selected Public Listed Companies (PLC) from five Malaysian sectors. Findings revealed that employees, institutional shareholders, regulators and public influence the quality of NFI disclosure. Employees are found to be the most influenced stakeholder towards the quality of NFI disclosure. The results are important not only for the authorities to improve the quality of NFI but also for the management in providing the information to their stakeholder. It makes a significant contribution to the NFI literature by combining Corporate Governance disclosure and Corporate Social Responsibility in a single study.
Immigrant Self-Employment and Transnational Practices: the Case of Moroccan Entrepreneurs in Amsterdam and Milan

This dissertation investigates the relationship between transnational practices and immigrant entrepreneurship, focusing more closely on immigrant entrepreneurs who own a business spanning across borders (i.e. transnational immigrant entrepreneurship), and comparing them with the general category of immigrant entrepreneurs - those focusing on the domestic market in their chosen country of immigration - (i.e. domestic immigrant entrepreneurs). In order to do that, the thesis illustrates the case of Moroccan entrepreneurs in Amsterdam and Milan (N=70). More in particular, the study explores how those immigrant entrepreneurs who own a cross-border business identify and seize business opportunities. The goal is to understand how this group diverges from the general category of immigrant entrepreneurs, and what are the different patterns of transnational immigrant entrepreneurship.
Factors Limiting Microbial Growth in Distribution Systems: Full-Scale Experiments

Residual Disinfectant For filtered systems, there was also a difference between systems that maintained a free chlorine residual and systems that used chloramines. For systems that used free chlorine, 0.97 percent of 33,196 samples contained coliform bacteria while 0.51 percent of 35,159 samples from chloraminated systems contained coliform bacteria. The average density of coliform bacteria was 35 times higher in free chlorinated systems as compared to chloraminated water.
Power density improvement in integrated electromagnetic passive modules with embedded heat extractors

In this report, heat extractors were embedded into the magnetic materials of the integrated power electronics passive modules. An optimum volume of heat-extracting material reduces the amount of electromagnetic energy that is processed, but more efficient heat removal yields higher levels of both electromagnetic stress and losses per unit volume in the remaining material. Without influencing the electromagnetic performance, heat extractors provide the potential to improve the power density of passive modules. This work introduces the mechanism of heat extractors, and presents the issues to consider when heat extractors are used improve power density in passive power components.
Genetic analysis of hybrid zones

When two distinct gene pools meet and produce fertile hybrids, the outcome varies from gene to gene. At some loci a universally favorable allele has been established on one side. Such alleles soon spread through the whole population and hence differences are rarely observed. At other loci different alleles may be favored in different environments or genetic backgrounds; selection maintains these differences in the face of random mixing. At other loci—perhaps at most of those we observe in molecular surveys—different alleles may have been established by chance and may have no appreciable effect on fitness. These differences gradually fade away, at a rate that depends on the strength of selection against introgression at the other loci with which they are associated. The frequencies of the various genotypes found in a hybrid zone tell us about the overall strength of the selection, the number of genes involved, the rate of individual dispersal, and the ease with which alleles cross from one gene pool into the other. The aim of this chapter is to explain how data on discrete markers and on quantitative traits can be used to estimate such parameters. We illustrate the methods using examples from some of the hybrid zones that are discussed in more detail elsewhere in this book and use computer simulations to show that the estimates do not depend on exactly how selection maintains the differences between the hybridizing populations. Previous reviews have considered the wider questions of what hybrid zones can tell us about species and speciation and what role they themselves might play (Barton and Hewitt, 1985, 1 989; Hewitt, 1988; Harrison and Rand, 1989; see also Ch. I ). We concentrate instead on the practical issues involved in the genetic analysis of hybrid zones. A systematist, whose aim is to classify organisms, sees hybrid zones as boundaries between distinct types. A population geneticist, on the other hand, views them as sets of geographic gradients (i.e., of clines) in allele frequencies or quantitative traits. Both extreme views are misleading. Classification of individuals into parental, F,, F2, and backcross types wastes much information and, moreover, depends on which markers are used: an individual who is heterozygous for diagnostic alleles at five loci might be classified as an F, and yet be homozygous at the sixth locus. If even a small proportion of hybrids reproduce, all the individuals in the vicinity of the hybrid zone eventually carry introgressed alleles in some of their genes. However, describing a population

Gender differences in lifestyle components among patients with coronary heart disease

Numerous studies had shown that lifestyle modifications canreduce the risk for subsequent coronary events or death in patientswith pre-exiting coronary heart disease (CHD). Stoppingsmoking, regular physical activity and making healthyfood choices are an integral part of total risk management inpatients with CHD. We evaluated gender differences in lifestylecomponents of secondary prevention for CHD (smokingstatus, physical activity and dietary fat intake) in patientswith established CHD. This prospective trial included 130randomly selected patients from Family Medicine TeachingCenter Tuzla (66 men and 64 women), aged 40-80 years,with established CHD. We determined smoking status in allparticipants and assessed dietary fat intake by using modifiedDietary Intake Nutrition Evaluation method (DINE). We assessedintensity of physical activity in all participants by usingBorg scale for perceived exertion. Mean age of participantswas 64.9 ± 7.8 years; 28/130 patients were daily smokers(22%), while 60/130 patients were ex-smokers (46%). Morethan one third of patients had never smoked (32%), with significantlymore women than men (p = 0.003). Mean dietaryfat intake was 35.4 ± 6.0 g/day; 59/130 patients self-reportedregular physical activity (45%). Mean intensity of physical activitywas 9.3 ± 1.6 and significantly higher in men than inwomen (p = 0.002). Results of this study showed unhealthylifestyles in patients with coronary heart disease that indicatesthe need for more effective intervention by primary careteams to change behavior and modify lifestyles in order toreduce risk for recurrent coronary events.
Renal dysfunctions in cirrhosis

Kidney dysfunction is a common and potentially life-threating event in patients with cirrhosis, and underlying mechanisms for renal dysfunction are quite variable. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is relatively frequent encountered in approximately 20% of hospitalized patients with cirrhosis. Nevertheless, chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs in almost 1% of all patients with cirrhosis. In this review various renal problems encountered in cirrhotic patients are discussed and strategies to prevent renal dysfunction are suggested.
Reduction of sediment, phosphorus and nitrogen transport on vegetated buffer strips

The largest source of phosphorus and nitrogen in surface waters is cultivated soils. The effects of ten-meter wide grass buffer strips (CBS) on sediment and nutrient losses from cropped soil plots have been studied forone year at the Agricultural Research Centre in Finland. The GBS plots were compared to plots without vegetated buffer strips (noVBS). The GBSs decreased loads of total solids, phosphorus and nitrogen by an average of 23, 6 and 47%, respectively. The grass buffer strips were effective in autumn but not in spring. Thirty-eight percent more soluble phosphate phosphorus was leached from the GBS plots than from the plots without GBSs, because of their inefficiency in spring.

ARMA 08-180 The Practical Modelling of Discontinuous Rock Masses with Finite Element Analysis

The mechanical response of rock masses to loading and excavation, especially in low stress environments, is significantly affected by discontinuities. This paper examines the practical modelling of rock mass problems with explicit representation of discontinuities using special joint elements in the Finite Element Method. The paper discusses why it is possible to use this approach for routine, practical engineering analysis today. Through a few examples, it also presents the merits of the approach such as the ability to capture a range of mechanisms and scale effects due to discontinuities.
