A multiple sampling, single A/D conversion technique for I/Q demodulation in CMOS

We have developed a CMOS A/D converter for I/Q demodulation with an analog mirror signal suppression filter in the sampling unit. The circuit directly converts a modulated 30 MHz IF signal to digitized I and Q values in the base band with an accuracy of more than 10 b. The output data rate is 2 MHz and the power consumption is 270 mW. By placing the I/Q split mirror suppression filter on the analog side, we can get a highly integrated system solution for a coherent receiver. The circuit uses multiple sampling, that gives the input values to the filter. The sizes of the sampling capacitors determine the coefficients for the filter multiplications. The sampled charges are then added in order to get the filter additions. This total charge is then converted to digital form in a single conversion. By requiring the filter to block DC, the filter subtraction becomes a part of the active offset reduction using correlated double sampling. Careful layout and very simple circuit solutions make the design possible.
Perfusion Measurement of the Septic Patient in the Emergency

Sepsis is a deadly disease, more complex and frequent every day, that requires management from different specialists. The emergency physician is the first and one of the most important physicians that has to deal with the septic critically ill patients, because an appropriate initial management is key to a favorable outcome. In the emergency department it can be hard to predict which patients will become sicker just with information from the vital signs, and it’s even harder to predict which patients will require a more intensive medical treatment. That is the reason why there must be more resources to measure tissue perfusion in an early and simple way in the emergency room, so that the emergency physician can manage to establish which patients requires earlier intervention to improve their perfusion state, despite not showing any clinically evident signs that help in the diagnosis of their current state. The goal of this paper is to propose a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for the hypoperfused patient with septic shock in the emergency department.
Multi-Point Stride Coverage: A New Genre Of Test Coverage Criteria

We introduce a family of coverage criteria, called Multi-Point Stride Coverage (MPSC). MPSC generalizes branch coverage to coverage of tuples of branches taken from the execution sequence of a program. We investigate its potential as a replacement for dataflow coverage, such as def-use coverage. We find that programs can be instrumented for MPSC easily, that the instrumentation usually incurs less overhead than that for def-use coverage, and that MPSC is comparable in usefulness to def-use in predicting test suite effectiveness. We also find that the space required to collect MPSC can be predicted from the number of branches in the program.

Bilateral absence of quadratus femoris and semimembranosus

Bilateral absence of both quadratus femoris and semimembranosus muscles was identified during a routine dissection of a 73-year-old Caucasian female cadaver. In the gluteal regions, the quadratus femoris was absent bilaterally from the area immediately inferior to the inferior gemellus muscle. The area presented as a shallow depression/space with the obturator externus muscle visible from a posterior view. In the posterior thigh regions, only the semitendinosus and biceps femoris were observed; no semimembranosus was found bilaterally. Only the semitendinosus traveled down to the superomedial border of the popliteal fossa. The absence of these muscles may present clinically as muscle weakness of hip lateral rotation (quadratus femoris action) and knee flexion (semimembranosus action) as well as hypermobility of the posteromedial knee joint (semimembranosus function). Surgeons, radiologists, and rehabilitation professionals should be aware of this anatomical variation.
Clement Greenberg: Formalism in the ′40s and ′50s

A peculiar conservatism, often encountered in early theoretical statements by American artists of the '40s, found, oddly enough, an unexpected parallel in the “little magazines” which accompanied the new American painting. The most notable of these were The Tiger's Eye and Possibilities. Nominally functioning as the official publications of the American avant-garde, neither of these seemed capable of producing novel reports on the contemporary painting scene. The causes of this conservatism have been variously attributed to the general decline of the avant-garde spirit in America, the lack of a radical tradition in art criticism, and generally obtuse and dated editorial policies.1 Although Possibilities had a more liberal editorial policy there was little that could be called new. In the words of Parker Tyler, “Possibilities and The Tiger's Eye strike a significant keynote in the little magazine history. That keynote is moderation in advance-garde aims. ”2 Even Rosenberg's contributions to Possibilities, i.
Moche Art and Archaeology in Ancient Peru

This handsome volume presents the creations of Mesoamerica's most ancient societies in their archaeological contexts. The Olmec--best known for a unique style of monumental stone head and jade were-jaguar--were based along the Gulf of Mexico but have also been linked to other Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Maya and Aztec. This book discusses recent spectacular finds and provides a framework for understanding the history, art, and archaeology of the Olmec.
Robust Short-Term Scheduling of Integrated Heat and Power Microgrids

Combined heat and power (CHP) units are able to produce electrical energy and supply heat demand, simultaneously. This paper aims to solve the optimal power and heat generation scheduling problem of integrated heat and power microgrid (MG) considering uncertainty associated with price of selling/purchasing power from power market. The studied MG includes various types of CHP units, a thermal plant, a boiler, electrical energy storage system, and heat buffer tank. The capability of the electrical energy exchange between MG and power market is considered in this paper, where the MG is able to sell/buy power to/from the market. The objective is to obtain the optimal set points of MG components in order to minimize the operational cost of the MG considering power market price uncertainty, which is handled using the robust optimization (RO) method. It is applied to optimize the robustness of the decision-making strategy. As a result, the optimal solution, provided for optimal scheduling of MG, prevents the MG from being exposed to high operational cost considering the undesired deviation of market power prices from the forecasted amount. The proposed method is simulated and the obtained solutions are reported and analyzed for confirming the performance of the proposed RO framework.
Users Connection across Social Media Sites Based On Users'Relationship Vector

The identification and association of multiple identities in different online social networks (osns) is an important problem, and also is the basis for many applications. At present, most of technologies try to solve this problem by matching the username of social networks or calculating the similarity of a pair of users’ personal information from different platforms. However, due to the anonymity of social networks, these methods often fail to identify and associate multiple virtual identities. In this paper, we propose a classification method based on machine learning. Our method jointly consider the time, the text and the topic of the similarity to construct the feature vector to characterize the user’s relationship. And we use the feature vectors to train the classifier. The model is evaluated on real world dataset, the twitter and sina weibo. The experimental results show that our method is effective. Introduction Today,the online social networks have penetrated into all aspects of daily life, and also have played an important role in the impact of social politics, economy, culture and other fields of the industry. Different social networking platforms offer a variety of web applications [1], such as the exchange of information, games, chat and other services. It is a common phenomenon that a user has more than one account on different platforms. This phenomenon, which brings convenience to users, at the same time, also causes the information fragmentation and becomes the bottleneck of users’ behavior analysis on social networks. It has important implications to associate with accounts on different social networks, such as open intelligence collection, find specific groups, specific information analysis and information dissemination or product recommendati-on. Maybe it is an important evidence that the user’s unique ip address or mac address to solve this problem. Unfortunately, the ip address and mac address in these platforms belong to the user’s privacy information, it is difficult for us to obtain such information. Some methods are proposed by matching username or user’s information. However, usernames in social networks are often anonymous and users’ information is often error or unreal, as a result, which causes these methods cannot solve the problem effectively. So it is needed to propose another more effective method to connect multiple virtual identities from a real person. In this paper, we calculate the number of the posts from two users at each time interval and their similarity. Then, we get the similarity of two users’ posts by thetf-idf 137 Advances in Computer Science Research (ACRS), volume 54 International Conference on Computer Networks and Communication Technology (CNCT2016)
Sedation with target‐controlled propofol infusion during shoulder surgery under interscalene brachial plexus block in the sitting position: report of a series of 140 patients

Background and objective: The aim of this study was to assess target‐controlled propofol infusion as a technique of sedation for shoulder surgery under interscalene brachial plexus block in the sitting position and to evaluate the effect of sedation on hypotensive/bradycardic events during this procedure. Methods: One hundred and forty patients undergoing elective shoulder surgery in the sitting position under interscalene brachial plexus block (with 30 mL of ropivacaine 0.75%) were prospectively enrolled. All patients were premedicated with hydroxyzine 1 mg kg−1, none received beta‐blockers. No patients were given atropine except for the patients who experienced a vasovagal event either during the block procedure or intravenous catheter placement. The target‐controlled propofol infusion was started immediately after positioning the patient on the operating table. The initial target concentration was 1 μg mL−1. The infusion rate was adjusted every 15 min by increasing or decreasing the target concentration by 0.2 μg mL−1 steps to maintain the patient rousable to verbal commands (score of 3 on Wilson sedation scale). The following parameters were assessed: minimal, maximal, optimal target concentration, respiratory and haemodynamic parameters, total propofol dose, additional alfentanil needs, occurrence of hypotensive/bradycardic events, complications. Results are mean ± SD. Statistical analysis used t ‐test and χ2‐tests. Results: The optimal propofol target concentration was 0.8 μg mL−1. No respiratory complications or conversion to general anaesthesia was reported. Two patients experienced transient and inconsequential intraoperative agitation. The incidence of hypotensive/bradycardic events during the procedure was 5.7% (eight patients). Conclusion: Target‐controlled propofol infusion (0.8‐0.9 μg mL−1) following hydroxyzine premedication is a safe and effective technique for sedation when combined with interscalene brachial plexus block during shoulder surgery in the sitting position.
Stéréotypes d’incompétence : les conséquences professionnelles d’une menace sociale

L’existence de stereotypes qui promeuvent l’incompetence de certains groupes sociaux peut conduire leurs cibles a adopter des comportements qui confirment la mauvaise reputation de leur groupe. Deux dynamiques sont exposees pour expliquer les effets deleteres de ces stereotypes dans le parcours professionnel des individus cibles : l’une repose sur l’interiorisation des stereotypes, l’autre sur l’effet de menace du stereotype. Dans les deux cas, ces stereotypes posent une menace sociale et participent a la perpetuation des inegalites professionnelles. Des pistes d’action pour aider ces populations a transformer la menace en defi sont proposees.
New Approach towards Covert Communication using TCP-SQN Reference Model

Covert channel stands for transfer of unintended information. It allows the attacker to send as well as receive the secrete message without being identified or detected by the Network administrator or the warden in the network. There are several ways to implement such covert channels; one of them is storage covert channel where data is sent through certain header field of TCP, IP protocol stack. However there is always some possibility of these covert channels being identified. Here, we propose a new covert channel technique, ‘TCP-SQN Reference Model’. In this technique a new covert channel is created in Linux kernel, using TCP Sequence Number as a reference for sending the covert information. The idea of our proposed model is, sender is not actually embedding the secrete message into the TCP-SQN filed; instead the sender uses it as a reference, to convey the secret message to the receiver. As sender is not actually modifying the TCP-SQN filed, the sequence number is observed as a normal packet distribution, which is created by any Linux or BSD Kernel. So it is difficult to distinguish overt and covert packet in the network.
Reconhecimento de palavras faladas isoladas em dispositivos móveis

: Speech is the primary form of communication between human beings. By talking to others we allow them to know our thoughts, feelings, needs and also come to know their feelings, thoughts and needs. This form of human communication is still a dream if we compare it to man-machine communication. The motivating factor for research in this area was the possibility of developing a speech recognition system that did not require any type of learning for their use, allowing that anyone could manipulate the system through speech, since the speech is the more natural medium for human communication. This work aims to build a game for discovery of colors using speech for recognition, this system will serve as a basis for future work on speech recognition as the more traditional techniques were applied in these systems. The recognition system developed was applied to the recognition of isolated words with speaker dependency and runs on mobile devices with Android operating system.
Following Steve Scott: Physiological Changes Accompanying Training

In brief: American mile record holder Steve Scott was tested for maximal aerobic capacity and running economy on three occasions over nine months, a period that included off-season, preseason, the indoor season, and the early part of the outdoor season. The laboratory results demonstrated that Scott's training raised his maximal aerobic capacity approximately 8% and improved his running economy 5%. In comparing Scott's data with that of former American record holder Jim Ryun, it appears that Scott's better economy, which allowed him to perform at a lower percentage of his maximal aerobic capacity, was the essential difference between the two runners.

Het Gebruik van een Meerkeuzesysteem Arbeidsvoorwaarden

Keuzemodellen komen sinds het einde van de jaren tachtig in steeds meer Nederlandse organisaties voor. Zij bieden werknemers de mogelijkheid om de samenstelling van hun arbeidsvoorwaardenpakket te wijzigen, zodat zij die arbeidsvoorwaarden kunnen kiezen die het best bij hun situatie passen. Met behulp van logistische regressieanalyses onderzoekt de onderhavige studie het keuzegedrag van werknemers van een Nederlandse universiteit (N=488) in een dergelijk keuzemodel en de invloed van de werk- en huishouden- situatie op dit keuzegedrag. Daarbij wordt in het bijzonder aandacht besteed aan de keuze voor meer of minder verlof. Het onderzoek laat zien dat de werknemers vooral kiezen om verlof in te ruilen voor een andere, meestal financiele arbeidsvoorwaarde. Zowel de werk-, als de huishoudensituatie blijkt van invloed op de deelname aan het keuzemodel, en de keuze die werknemers binnen het keuzemodel maken. De mogelijkheid die een keuzemodel werknemers biedt om de samenstelling van hun beloning aan hun voorkeur aan te passen wordt door de werknemers van deze universiteit duidelijk benut.
Buddhist practice, health perception and hope in persons with HIV infection/AIDS

The purposes of this descriptive correlational study were to describe the level of Buddhist practice, health perception, and hope in persons with HIV infection/AIDS and to examine the relationship between Buddhist practice, health perception, and hope in persons with HIV infection/AIDS. The subjects were 88 hospitalized patients with HIV infection/AIDS in Vachira Phuket Hospital and Patong Hospital during February-March 2005. A purposive sampling method was adopted to recruit the subjects. The research instruments were Buddhist practice, health perception, and hope questionnaires. Cronbach's alpha reliabilities of the Buddhist practice, health perception, and hope questionnaires were 0.80, 0.71 and 0.84 respectively. Data analysis was performed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient.
