Body Surface Laplacian Mapping In Man

We have developed a new approach to improve the spatial resolution of body surface mapping of cardiac electrical activity by measuring the surface Laplacian of the body surface potential. A high resolution body surface Laplacian mapping system has been developed and successfully applied to study the Laplacian maps of noxmal human subjects. Both simulation and experimental studies have shown that the body surface Laplacian mapping provides much better spatial resolution than potential mapping. This may enable Laplacian mapping to identify from the body surface spatially separated myocardial events, and to play a signifcant role in quantitative cardiac electrophysiology. superior spatial resolution in identifying multiple sources in the heart [SI. In the present study, we have developed a special bipolar 'Laplacian' electrode to sense the surface Laplacian and a high resolution mapping system to measure the BSLM. The developed techniques have been successfully applied to map the cardiac electrical events in normal human subjects and will be described in this paper.
Formatos Competitivos en Fútbol Sub-12. Un Análisis desde el Punto de Vista Táctico, Condicional y del Compromiso Deportivo del Joven Futbolista - Ciencias del Ejercicio

espanolEn este estudio se han analizado las diferencias a nivel tactico y condicional entre la practica de futbol-7 y futbol-8 como formatos de competicion, asi como el compromiso actual y futuro de los sujetos. 280 jugadores sub-12 participaron en las pruebas tacticas y condicionales, 149 de los cuales participaron en los test de compromiso deportivo. Para las pruebas tacticas y condicionales se utilizaron dispositivos GPS, y para las pruebas de compromiso deportivo cumplimentaron unos cuestionarios. Desde el punto de vista tactico, se observan areas de juego superiores e interacciones entre jugadores/equipos con mayores distancias en el formato de futbol-8. Desde el punto de vista condicional, el futbol-7 es algo mas exigente que el futbol-8, con valores de caracter fisico y fisiologico que se aproximan al formato adulto de futbol-11. Desde el punto de vista del compromiso deportivo, los futbolistas de mayor nivel deportivo manifiestan un compromiso actual mas elevado que los futbolistas de menor nivel deportivo. EnglishIn this study, we analyzed the technical-tactical and conditional differences between of 7-a-side soccer and 8-a-side soccer as competition formats, as well as the subjects’ current and future sport commitment. 280 under-12 players participated in the tactical and conditional tests, 149 of which participated in the sports commitment tests. For the technical-tactical and conditional tests, WIMU devices were used. These devices include different sensors, as GPS, accelerometer and heart rate. For the sports engagement tests players completed a questionnaire. From the tactical point of view, findings show that there are higher areas of play and relationships, and interactions between players / teams with greater distances, in the 8-a-side soccer format. From the conditional point of view, 7-a-side soccer is somewhat more demanding than 8-a-side soccer, since it presents more prolonged and more intense efforts. Both formats have shown that we are facing an intermittent sports practice, where most of their efforts are made at medium or high intensity, with physical (m•min-1) and physiological (% HRmax) values that approximate the adult format of 11-a-side soccer. From the point of view of sports commitment, the higher players’ competition level is, the higher level of commitment players have.
Revisiting the Rite of Passage Theory in an Australian Backpacking Context

Backpacking as a form of independent travel has grown to become a world phenomenon. Backpacker tourism is a global trend with increasing numbers not just from traditional generating countries in Europe, but also from emerging economies in Asia, such as Korea and Japan. The increasing popularity of backpacking among young Asians calls for more attention as the research to date has mainly focused on Western backpackers. This study seeks to advance the current understanding of Asian backpacking as a social phenomenon in its relatively early stage of development. Backpacking is considered as a rite of passage among Western and Israeli youth. This meaningful travel experience broadens their horizon, helps them to better understand their home societies and generates personal development via interactions with ‘others’ in foreign environments. These sought-after values make the meaning of the backpacking experience greater than just a mere escape from modern life. This interpretation is yet to be confirmed for Asian backpackers as relatively little research has been done on Asian backpackers. The paucity of literature in this research area justifies the use of the rite of passage theory in this research to explore the meanings of travel to young Asians. This research evaluated and extended the rite of passage theory in an Asian backpacking context. Firstly, it introduced an Asian approach to the study of the rite of passage. Accordingly, the theory was interpreted in regards to the context of contemporary Asian culture and society. Secondly, the study developed measures and tested a structural model that assisted in understanding the stages of the rite of passage and their interrelations.
Flexible Data Streaming In Stream Cloud

Most of the applications in some special domains such as Telecommunication systems, Share market, Fraud detection and network security which required online processing of incoming data. They produce very high incoming load which needs to process by multiple nodes. The current system is on single node bottleneck and with the static configuration and hence it is not able to scale with the input load. So in this paper we present stream cloud a high flexible data stream processing engine for processing bulky data stream. This is particularly suitable for applications in online transactions, monitoring financial data processing and fraud detection systems that require timely processing of continuous data. Stream cloud using novel parallelization technique which splits one query into sub queries which are independently allocates to individual nodes for execution. It is having some elastic protocols which is used to dynamic resource management and load balancing of incoming load.
Techniques to Support Multicast Traffic in Single-Hop WDM Optical Networks

ZEYDY ORTIZ-LAUREANO. Techniques to Support Multicast Traffic in Single-Hop WDM Optical Networks. (Under the direction of Professor Harry G. Perros and Professor George N. Rouskas.) Many applications and telecommunications services in future high-speed networks will require some form of multipoint communication. The problems associated with providing network support for multipoint communication have been widely studied within a number of different networking contexts. As current network technologies evolve to an alloptical, largely passive infrastructure, these problems take on new significance and raise a number of challenging issues that require novel solutions. We consider the problem of supporting multipoint communication at the media access control (MAC) layer of broadcast-and-select Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) networks. In this environment, bandwidth consumption and channel utilization arise as two conflicting objectives in the design of scheduling algorithms for multicast traffic. We present a new technique for the transmission of multicast packets which is based on the concept of a virtual receiver. This is a set of physical receivers which behave identically in terms of tuning. We focus on the problem of optimally selecting the virtual receivers, and prove that it is NP-complete. We then present four heuristics of varying degrees of complexity for obtaining virtual receivers that provide a good balance between the two conflicting objectives. The dynamic nature of multicast traffic could affect the balance obtained with the virtual receivers when the network conditions change. We study the sensitivity to changes of the virtual receiver sets and the cost associated with handling the changes. Also, the cost of three different approaches to handling the changes is analyzed. Finally, we study the performance of various strategies for scheduling a combined load of unicast and multicast traffic in a broadcast WDM network. Three different scheduling strategies are presented, namely: separate scheduling of unicast and multicast traffic, treating multicast traffic as a number of unicast messages, and treating unicast traffic as multicasts of size one. Performance is measured in terms of schedule length which directly affects both aggregate network throughput and average packet delay.

Digital Competence in the Knowledge Society

New Information and Communication Technologies such as the Internet, online gaming worlds, artificial intelligence, robotics and 3D printing require new literacies. In recent years, digital competence has become a key concept in discussions on the kind of skills and understanding learners need in the Knowledge Society. The concept has been interpreted in various ways (e.g. Digital Literacy, Digital Competence, eLiteracy, e-Skills, eCompetence, Computer literacy, and Media literacy) in policy documents, in the academic literature, and in teaching, learning and certification practices. In this paper we review the literature on digital competence and related terms. This review of 73 articles published between 1990 and 2014 shows that digital competence is a multi-faceted concept that has emerged from several backgrounds. Not yet a stable concept, there are still no clear guidelines for evaluating it. While some perceive digital competence as the technical use of ICT, others define it more broadly as knowledge application or 21st century skills.
Cognition, Good and Bad

ELEMENTS OF SURPRISE IS A BOOK TAKING intellectual risks. It addresses the phenomenon of the ‘well-made surprise’, where narratives are so carefully composed that readers will feel surprised even though the information necessary to know better has been present all along. Tobin discusses in particular the crime fiction of Agatha Christie and others that explicitly builds on such ‘well-made surprises’, and she is well aware that these narratives are not generally considered the stuff of literary achievement. Tobin also takes an unusual stance when evaluating the links between narrative, cognition, and emotions. Traditionally, narrative is understood as a means to parse and organise cognition in meaningful and beneficial ways (for example in the accounts of Jerome Bruner and David Herman). Tobin, however, draws our attention to our ‘mental limits’ and how they are exploited by narrative structures pivoting on surprise. Elements of Surprise is an entry into the field of cognitive approaches to literature that explicitly privileges ‘lesser’ aesthetic pleasures and takes a perspective that makes it hard to fall in with the rhetorical staple of cognitive approaches, namely, arguing for the usefulness of literary texts. These intellectual risks, as Tobin’s book amply demonstrates, are well worth taking, because they open a discussion which has the potential to take the encounter between literature and cognition a step further. The central notion for Tobin is the cognitive bias known as the ‘curse of knowledge’. When you know something, say, the solution to a mathematical problem, it is extraordinarily hard to imagine what it is like not to have this knowledge and to think like a student. Similarly, Tobin suggests, when you arrive at the ending of a murder mystery and the murderer has been revealed, it becomes obvious that this was the correct solution. Moreover, the clues laid in the narrative turn into the clear indicators that they have been all along to the likes of Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple. Surprise reconfigures the earlier progress of the narrative into a trajectory leading necessarily to the solution. Readers come to think that they should have known at earlier points of the narrative what has been revealed to be the state of affairs by the end of it. As Tobin herself puts it with characteristic
Automatic ROI selection in virtual slide images for assessment of pathomorphological diagnostic

This paper describes the automatic region of interest selection method in virtual slide images for assessment of pathomorphological diagnostic. The proposed method for identification of high concentration of immunopositive cancer cells is based on specimen area recognition, segmentation of the immunopositive cells, local maxima recognition on cell density map and function of penalty to avoid the too high concentration of the selected ROIs. The obtained results confirm, that average 8.6±1.4 of 10 reaction fields chosen manually were compliant regionally with regions selected automatically, which is a high compliance of specimen histological examination.

Statistical Dissemination Systems and the Web

introduction The Web is increasingly used as a preferred medium for A2C (administration to citizens) and A2B (administration to business) service delivery. An increasing number of government initiatives are aimed at making access to electronic records easier for the general public. For example, the Electronic Record Archives program of the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration is aimed at preserving virtually any kind of electronic record, free from dependence on any specific hardware or software, and at enabling customers to find records they want and to deliver those records in formats suited to customers' needs (Lake, 2006). This in particular will include records coming from the 2010 U.S. census. International professional associations are increasingly paying attention to public availability of statistical data. For example, the last meeting of the International Association for Social Science Information Services & Technology (IASSIST, 2006) dedicated entire sessions to problems like knowledge and resource discovery, innovative data dissemination systems, and data-intensive Web site design. In this context, the world of public statistics has the opportunity to exploit many efficient, flexible new technologies and standards to deliver better quality statistics in a more timely and accessible way. First, Web technologies can greatly reduce the gap between data producers and users as published data can be made available immediately after their production to a worldwide community of users. Second, as published statistical data are multidi-mensional, it would seem that the consolidated methodologies and techniques for data warehouse (DWH) modeling and navigation could be easily applied to support user navigation among the available data. However, this methodological and technological scenario cannot be implemented straightforwardly due to some specific features of statistical data in contrast with conventional business data, which require the introduction of specifically designed models and techniques. In this chapter we review the main concepts at the basis of multidimensional (data warehouse) modeling and navigation. We also illustrate some Statistical Dissemination Systems and the Web peculiarities of statistical data that make the implementation of a statistical data warehouse, that is, a statistical dissemination system enabling the user to perform a multidimensional navigation, a challenging issue in many aspects. Finally, we analyze the main characteristics of some of the most important systems for the dissemination of statistical data on the Web, distinguishing two main approaches, the former based on a free navigation of specific subcubes, and the latter on a constrained navigation of a single data cube.
Television and additional media activity: A taxonomy

Television experiences are no longer restricted to a single audio-visual stream experienced on a single television set. Additional media activities that users engage with around a television programme are also an important experiential consideration. These activities, however, encompass a wide range of experiences and there is not a well deﬁned set of terms in use that can adequately di ↵ erentiate between them. This work considers factors that may be used to distinguish di ↵ erent types of experience and presents a taxonomy to provide a structured language for designers, practitioners, and researchers.

The Inner 25 au Debris Distribution in the ϵ Eri System

Debris disk morphology is wavelength dependent due to the wide range of particle sizes and size-dependent dynamics influenced by various forces. Resolved images of nearby debris disks reveal complex disk structures that are difficult to distinguish from their spectral energy distributions. Therefore, multi-wavelength resolved images of nearby debris systems provide an essential foundation to understand the intricate interplay between collisional, gravitational, and radiative forces that govern debris disk structures. We present the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) 35 μm resolved disk image of ϵ Eri, the closest debris disk around a star similar to the early Sun. Combining with the Spitzer resolved image at 24 μm and 15–38 μm excess spectrum, we examine two proposed origins of the inner debris in ϵ Eri: (1) in situ planetesimal belt(s) and (2) dragged-in grains from the cold outer belt. We find that the presence of in situ dust-producing planetesmial belt(s) is the most likely source of the excess emission in the inner 25 au region. Although a small amount of dragged-in grains from the cold belt could contribute to the excess emission in the inner region, the resolution of the SOFIA data is high enough to rule out the possibility that the entire inner warm excess results from dragged-in grains, but not enough to distinguish one broad inner disk from two narrow belts.
A Bidirectional Pipeline for Semantic Interaction in Visual Analytics

Semantic interaction in visual data analytics allows users to indirectly adjust model parameters by directly manipulating the output of the models. This is accomplished using an underlying bidirectional pipeline that first uses statistical models to visualize the raw data. When a user interacts with the visualization, the interaction is interpreted into updates in the model parameters automatically, giving the users immediate feedback on each interaction. These interpreted interactions eliminate the need for a deep understanding of the underlying statistical models. However, the development of such tools is necessarily complex due to their interactive nature. Furthermore, each tool defines its own unique pipeline to suit its needs, which leads to difficulty experimenting with different types of data, models, interaction techniques, and visual encodings. To address this issue, we present a flexible multi-model bidirectional pipeline for prototyping visual analytics tools that rely on semantic interaction. The pipeline has plug-and-play functionality, enabling quick alterations to the type of data being visualized, how models transform the data, and interaction methods. In so doing, the pipeline enforces a separation between the data pipeline and the visualization, preventing the two from becoming codependent. To show the flexibility of the pipeline, we demonstrate a new visual analytics tool and several distinct variations, each of which were quickly and easily implemented with slight changes to the pipeline or client.
The Electronic Doctor (TED)-a home telecare system

Describes a telecare system which enables medical practitioners to remotely assess a patient's vital signs using an integrated multi-functional sensor arrangement and an existing narrowband telephone network; it may be used as a filter by out-of-hours medical service providers to ensure that genuine emergency cases may be distinguished from more trivial requests and receive prompt attention. The system hardware in the home consists of a hand-held unit containing four simple sensors with appropriate electronic support circuitry. Data from the sensors together with duplex speech are transmitted down the telephone line to the medical practitioner's telephone where they are separated into speech and data streams. A PC displays the data using dedicated software, either as numerical values (in the case of temperature) or as a continuous trace (for ECG or breathing response, etc.). The innovative design includes secondary checking functions resulting in a reliable sensor arrangement at very low cost.
