It is also important to guarantee access to the product and information about its safe use with equity.
Adaptive beam scheduling for scalable video multicast in wireless networks

The design of an efficient multicast for a scalable video coding (SVC) streaming combined with directional beamforming is a challenging issue. A quality of experience (QoE)-aware directional beam scheduling (QBS) scheme is proposed which optimises overall QoE for a multirate multicast of SVC, with beamforming in wireless networks. Different SVC layers to different beams and rate modulations are optimally scheduled. A mixed integer linear programming formulation of the problem is provided and a heuristic algorithm is proposed. Results show that QBS can increase the overall QoE and can satisfy the minimum expected QoE for all users.

Optimizing Web Service Composition in Parallel

Traditional functional-centric Web services cannot meet the requirements of data processing which merely provide the functionality required by users. Data-intensive Web services focus on providing and updating data with large amounts of data operation and exchange. In this paper, we put forward the parallel schema for data-intensive Web services and describe the method used to determine the degree of parallelism (DOP) to balance the cost and throughput. The experiment results demonstrate that our proposed parallel schema for data-intensive Web services could effectively improve the efficiency of the composite Web service.
Nährmedien zur Anzüchtung von Campylobacter jejuni/coli aus Stuhl

Sechs verschiedene Nährmedien zur Anzüchtung von Campylobacter jejuni/coli aus Stuhlproben wurden untersucht. Als festes Basisnährmedium diente Columbia-Blutagar mit 10% Schafsblut (Oxoid). Zur Unterdrückung derfäkalen Begleitflora wurden die Antibiotikasupplemente von Skirrow, Blaserund Wang (Oxoid), und Butzler (Virion) zugesetzt. Eine mikroaerophile Atmosphäre angereichert mit CO2 und H2 wurde in Anaerobiertöpfen mit Gas-generating-kits erzeugt (Becton-Dickinson, Merck'). Die Inkubationstemperatur betrug 42 °C. Unter diesen Bedingungen wurde die höchste Ausbeute an positiven Befunden mit dem Supplement nach Butzler erzielt; die anderen Supplemente schnitten schlechter ab. Eine Kombination von zwei unterschiedlich supplementierten festen Nährmedien brachte keinen zusätzlichen Gewinn an positiven Befunden. Eine Kombination mit einem flüssigen Anreicherungsnährmedium, das nach 36bis 48stündiger Inkubation auf ein festes Nährmedium ausgesät wurde, vermochte die Ausbeute um 60% zu steigern. Unter drei verschiedenen Anreicherungsbouillons hat sich eine selbst entwickelte Rezeptur „Bouillon Tübingen" am besten bewährt. Zur Anzüchtung von Campylobacter jejuni/coli aus Stuhlproben empfehlen wir die Stuhlprobe auf einem festen Agarmedium mit einem hochselektiven Antibiotikasupplement (z. B. nach Butzler) 36—48 Std. bei 42 °Czu inkubieren. Zusätzlich empfehlen wir die Beimpf u ng einer flüssigen Anreicherungsbouillon, die nach 36-48 Std. bei 42 °C auf ein festes Nährmedium ausgesät wird. Negative Resultate sollten erst nach Abschluß beider kulturverfahren (nach ca. 4 Tagen) erstellt werden.
Screening for microalbuminuria as an early marker of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients

Background : One of the early complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus is diabetic nephropathy which is reported as the leading cause of premature deaths due to renal failure. This study was conducted to see the prevalence of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetic pati Diabetic Clinic of Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre, Chennai, India. Subjects were selected based on a detailed questionnaire. Blood and urine sample of 95 type 2 diabetic patient years were collected to analyze fasting plasma glucose, post prandial glucose, Glycated hemoglobin, Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and microalbuminuria. (p<0.001). The prevalence of microalbuminuria was higher in older patients and increased with increase in duration of diabetes. Conclusion : There is significant association between the duration of diabetes and microalbuminur diabetic patients.
Markov-modulated self-similar processes: MPEG coded video traffic modeler and synthesizer

Markov modulated self-similar processes are proposed to model MPEG video sequences that can capture the LRD (long range dependency) characteristics of video ACF (auto-correlation function). An MPEG compressed video sequence is decomposed into three parts according to different motion/change complexity such that each part can individually be described by a self-similar process. Beta distribution is used to characterize the marginal cumulative distribution function (CDF) of each self-similar processes, and Markov chain is used to govern the transition among these three self-similar processes. Network cell loss rate using our proposed synthesized traffic is found to be comparable with that using empirical data as the source traffic.
Fast depth decision for HEVC inter prediction based on spatial and temporal correlation

High efficiency video coding (HEVC) is a video compression standard that outperforms the predecessor H.264/AVC by doubling the compression efficiency. To enhance the compression accuracy, the partition sizes ranging is from 4x4 to 64x64 in HEVC. However, the manifold partition sizes dramatically increase the encoding complexity. This paper proposes a fast depth decision based on spatial and temporal correlation. Spatial correlation utilize the code tree unit (CTU) Splitting information and temporal correlation utilize the motion vector predictor represented CTU in inter prediction to determine the maximum depth in each CTU. Experimental results show that the proposed method saves about 29.1% of the original processing time with 0.9% of BD-bitrate increase on average.
Un outil pour la manipulation de ressources arborées (A tool for handling tree-based linguistic resources)

Dans cet article, nous présentons brièvement pytreeview, un outil pour la manipulation de ressources arborées (corpus annotés, grammaires électroniques). Initialement conçu pour assiter les utilisateurs linguistes dans leur tâche de développement de grammaires arborescentes, pytreeview a été étendu pour permettre de manipuler des ressources arborées variées (grammaires mais aussi corpus aux formats FTB, PTB, CoNLL, Tiger), afin d’en extraire des informations utiles (par exemple la distribution des cadres de sous-catégorisation). pytreeview est actuellement utilisé dans le cadre d’un projet visant l’extraction semi-automatique de grammaires abstraites (méta-grammaires) à partir de corpus arborés.
The Next 700 Concurrent Object-Oriented Languages *

Many of the shortcomings of present-day object-oriented programming languages can be traced to two phenomena: (i) the lack of general support for software composition, and (ii) the semantic interference between language features addressing operational and compositional aspects of object-oriented programming. To remedy this situation, we propose the development of a “pattern language” for active objects in which objects and, more generally , applications, are constructed by composing software patterns. A “pattern” can be any reusable software abstraction, including functions, objects, classes and generics. In this paper we seek to establish both informal requirements for a pattern language and a formal basis for defining the semantics of patterns. First, we identify some basic requirements for supporting object composition and we review the principal language design choices with respect to these requirements. We then survey the various problems of semantic interference in existing languages. Next, we present a formal “object calculus” and show how it can be used to define the semantics of patterns in much the same way that the λ calculus can be used to give meaning to constructs of functional programming languages. We conclude by summarizing the principle open problems that remain to define a practical pattern language for active objects.

The Learning Connection: The Role of Movement-skill Learning in Teaching Developmental Games

This article addresses how to design developmental games that connect knowledge about motor development with motor learning. As evidenced in the SHAPE America National Standards and Grade-level Outcomes for K–12 Physical Education, understanding children's phases and stages of motor development is essential to designing developmentally appropriate content, and applying motor learning principles is critical to facilitating learning during the instructional process. The principles that govern the learning of movement skills address how the teacher designs the movement task (e.g., goal of the skill, practice strategy) and the learning environment (e.g., scaling equipment and conditions), provides appropriate feedback to meet the developmental needs of students, and sequences instruction to promote transfer of learning. The relationship between the phases and stages of motor development and the levels of motor skill learning is explained and illustrated in a four-part task progression. This task progression is then used to provide sample lesson vignettes that demonstrate how the principles of motor learning are applied within the instructional setting.
Pre-Treatment FDG PET Bone Marrow (BM) Uptake and Disease Involvement. Can Semiquantitative Measures Discriminate Between A Normal, Hypercellular or Infiltrated Bone Marrow?

PET studies are used on a regular basis to stage lymphoma patients pretreatment. Bone marrow uptake (BMu) can be associated with disease involvement, however occasionally uptake is related to benign etiologies (anemia, stimulation, a hypercellular marrow etc…). Uncovering quantitative and qualitative parameters to elucidate the etiology of (BMu) may help the radiologist and oncologist in cases where a BM biopsy (BMb) cannot be performed or interpreted by the pathologist or is unavailable. We looked retrospectively at a group of consecutive lymphoma patients (pts) who had an initial staging PET scan. Out of 121 patients, 36 had a (BMb) report available for review. We attempted to evaluate whether semi quantitative parameters – maximum standardized uptake value (SUVm); Average SUV (SUVav); SUVm/Mediastinal blood pool (MBP) ratio - could discriminate between different bone marrow patterns (normal, hypercellular, positive). We also looked at the type of BMu (none; mild; prominent) and pattern (patchy; diffuse; focal). The average age of our patient population was 52.19. 66.66% were males (24/36). Most of our patient’s had a normal BMb. 25 % (9/36) had a positive BM. In the BM positive group, no pts had patchy uptake and 2 pts were found to have no appreciable uptake. In the BM normal group 71.5 % (15/21) had either mild or prominent uptake and only 28.5% had no uptake. None had focal uptake and 90% of pts had diffuse uptake. The majority of whole cohort had a SUVm> 2.5: 90 % of BM normal; 100% of hypercellular BM and 88.88% of the BM positive group and an SUVm/MBP>2.5: 52.4%; 66.66% and 55.5% respectively. Using a Chi-square test BM Pathology level was overall significantly different across the BMu patterns (p=0.0192). Analysis looking at BM positive versus BM negative groups, shows BM pattern is no longer a significant variable to predict BM pathology (p=0.168). Subsequently, the odds ratio of having only positive BM pathology based on focal vs. patchy pattern is not significant. Conclusion: No qualitative or semi quantitative parameters were found to be statistically significantly associated with BM pathology. Further exploration in a larger cohort is necessary.
Gestion de l'esthétique muco-gingivale de l'incisive centrale en implantologie

Le remplacement d’une incisive centrale par un implant necessite une anticipation et une prise en charge particuliere, du fait de son importance esthetique. L’harmonie des tissus mous periimplantaires constitue un objectif a atteindre pour le praticien et le patient. Il existe differents protocoles qui permettent de maintenir ou d’augmenter ces tissus. Au niveau osseux, soutien des tissus mous, l’application des techniques de regeneration osseuse guidee permet de limiter la resorption physiologique post-extractionnelle ou de la corriger. Concernant les tissus mous, des chirurgies peuvent etre utilisees a differents moments de la prise en charge therapeutique, afin d’augmenter ou de maintenir la quantite et la position de ces tissus. Applicables avant, pendant ou apres la chirurgie, ces techniques ont pour but d’obtenir un biotype parodontal epais, plus favorable au maintien des tissus peri-implantaires. La prothese, par l’intermediaire de son pilier, possede egalement un role important dans cette optique. De nouveaux protocoles sont proposes et offrent des resultats encourageants pour le futur. Les techniques chirurgicales de gestion des tissus mous etant tres praticien-dependantes, il est difficile de les comparer bien qu’il se degage un consensus clinique sur l’utilisation systematique de greffons conjonctifs, benefique a l’esthetique muco-gingivale du secteur anterieur.
Contribution à la cartographie 3D des parois internes de la vessie par cystoscopie à vision active

La cystoscopie est actuellement l'examen clinique de reference permettant l'exploration visuelle des parois internes de la vessie. Le cystoscope (instrument utilise pour cet examen) permet d'acquerir une sequence video des parois epitheliales de la vessie. Cependant, chaque image de la sequence video ne visualise qu'une surface reduite de quelques centimetres carres de la paroi. Les travaux realises dans le cadre de cette these ont pour objectif de construire une carte 3D reproduisant d'une maniere fidele les formes et les textures des parois internes de la vessie. Une telle representation de l'interieur de la vessie permettrait d'ameliorer l'interpretation des donnees acquises lors d'un examen cystoscopique. Pour atteindre cet objectif, un nouvel algorithme flexible est propose pour le calibrage de systemes cystoscopiques a vision active. Cet algorithme fournit les parametres necessaires a la reconstruction precise de points 3D sur la portion de surface imagee a chaque instant donne de la sequence video cystoscopique. Ainsi, pour chaque acquisition de la sequence video, un ensemble de quelques points 3D/2D et une image 2D est disponible. L'objectif du deuxieme algorithme propose dans cette these est de ramener l'ensemble des donnees obtenues pour une sequence dans un repere global pour generer un nuage de points 3D et une image panoramique 2D representant respectivement la forme 3D et la texture de la totalite de la paroi imagee dans la sequence video. Cette methode de cartographie 3D permet l'estimation simultanee des transformations 3D rigides et 2D perspectives liant respectivement les positions du cystoscope et les images de paires d'acquisitions consecutives. Les resultats obtenus sur des fantomes realistes de vessie montrent que ces algorithmes permettent de calculer des surfaces 3D reproduisant les formes a retrouver.
L'enquête HID de l'INSEE : objectifs et schéma organisationnel

La premiere vague de l’enquete HID a ete realisee fin 1998 aupres d’un echantillon d’environ 15000 personnes vivant en institutions. Ces memes personnes ont a nouveau ete interrogees fin 2000. Pour leur part, 360000 personnes vivant en domicile ordinaire ont rempli, a l’occasion du recensement de la population de mars 1999, un court questionnaire sur le theme «vie quotidienne et sante». A la suite de cette operation de filtrage, 22000 d’entre elles ont recu la visite d’un enqueteur de l’Insee, une premiere fois fin 1999 et une seconde fois fin 2001. L’exploitation statistique a demarre des le premier semestre de 1999. Elle vise a compter les populations concernees par les divers types et degres de handicaps et a decrire l’origine et les consequences humaines et sociales de ceux-ci.
