The Common Object Request Broker: Architecture and Specification Version 3

ly, TypeCodes consist of a “kind” field, and a “parameter list. ” For example, the IDL type long has TypeCode tk_long and no parameters. The IDL type sequence<boolean,10> has TypeCode tk_sequence and two parameters: 10 andboolean. Two TypeCodes are equal if the IDL type specifications from which they are compiled denote equal types. Equal TypeCodes are interchangeable, and give identical results when TypeCode operations are applied to them. 7.6. 1 The TypeCode Interface The IDL interface for TypeCodes is module CORBA { enum TCKind { tk_null, tk_void, tk_short, tk_long, tk_ushort, tk_ulong, tk_float, tk_double, tk_boolean, tk_char, tk_octet, tk_any, tk_TypeCode, tk_Principal, tk_objref, tk_struct, tk_union, tk_enum, tk_string, tk_sequence, tk_array }; interface TypeCode { exception Bounds {}; boolean equal (in TypeCode tc); TCkind kind (); long param_count (); // The number of parameters for this TypeCode. any parameter (in long index) raises (Bounds); // The index’th parameter. Parameters are indexed from 0 // to (param_count-1). }; }; With the above operations, any TypeCode can be decomposed into its constituent parts. Composing new TypeCodes is a topic for future OMG standardization. The Interface Repository 144 THE COMMON OBJECT REQUEST BROKER: ARCHITECTURE AND SPECIFICATION The legal combinations of kinds and parameters are listed in TBL. 16 on page 144. The tk_objref TypeCode represents an interface type. Its parameter is the interface-id of that interface. A structure with N members results in a tk_struct TypeCode with 2N+1 parameters: the type name of the struct, the rest are member names alternating with the corresponding member TypeCode. Member names are represented as strings. A union with N members results in a tk_union TypeCode with 3N+2 parameters: the type name of the union, the switch TypeCode followed by a label value, member name, and member TypeCode for each of the N members. The label values are all values of the data type designated by the switch TypeCode, with one exception. The default member (if present) is marked with a label value consisting of the 0 octet. Recall that the operation TBL. 16 Legal TypeCode Kinds and Parameters KIND PARAMETER LIST tk_null *NONE* tk_void *NONE* tk_short *NONE* tk_long *NONE* tk_ushort *NONE* tk_ulong *NONE* tk_float *NONE* tk_double *NONE* tk_boolean *NONE* tk_char *NONE* tk_octet *NONE* tk_any *NONE* tk_TypeCode *NONE* tk_Principal *NONE* tk_objref { interface-id } tk_struct {struct-name, member-name, TypeCode, .

CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN PHONETICS

This contribution presents current trends in phonetics research with some bias towards the research of my own Amsterdam group. I also tried to exclude areas that will most probably be covered by other invited speakers. This let me to emphasize, apart from my admiration for Ken Stevens and his work, the importance of dynamic information in speech, not just in terms of formant transitions but also in terms of reduction, coarticulation, local context and information content. I also want to advocate the concept of computational phonetics, which allows an efficient type of modeling of speech events. Nowadays we can gain a lot of knowledge from annotated, and preferably freely available, speech corpora, of which a few examples are given. I am also proud of the role that Phonetics plays as an interdisciplinary science, most notable in speech and language technology, but also in signal processing, psycholinguistics, early speech development, multi-modal dialogs, and speech pathology, to mention just a few.
Casting a Shadow of Doubt over the GWAS Parade

Jonathan Pritchard is a careful thinker with a knack for recognizing inconvenient truths. His article proposing that common, complex diseases might actually comprise many different conditions caused by individually rare genetic events , nicely anticipated the “rare variant revolution” initiated by the discovery of CNVs [2] that continues to gain steam in the era of whole exome and whole genome sequencing.
Viaje al centro de la inmersión cinematográfica. del cine primitivo al vrcinema

The aim of this presentation is to show that, although the immersive desire has been present from the beginnings of cinema history, it achieves a full sense with the introduction of Virtual Reality Cinema. For though, we have been through cinema history, analyzing the main authors dealing with the history of cinema screens, formats and audien
Stack Traces in Haskell

This thesis presents ideas for how to implement Stack Traces for the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. The goal is to come up with an implementation with such small overhead that organizations do not hesitate to use it for their binaries running in production. Since the implementation is aiming for efficiency it will be heavily tied to only GHC. This work has been made possible thanks to a very recent contribution [1] that implements debug data for binaries compiled with GHC. Thanks to that contribution, this thesis can almost entirely focus on managing the GHC stack. Three different designs of stack values is presented, they allow creation in constant time and we implement one of these designs. The overhead of these designs can be kept small by utilizing laziness and the special linked list structure of the GHC stack. The other contribution is the work on the Haskell API that is exposed to programmers. We have implemented an API where the Haskell programmer can create the stack value at will and examine its content. Different ways of incorporating stack traces into the catching and throwing mechanism have been analyzed and we have found a rethrowing semantics for Haskell that is backwards compatible, convenient to use and easy to implement in GHC. The design in this paper allows stack values to be first class values.
Reader behavior in a detection task using single- and multislice image datasets

We assess human reader behavior such as reading times and browsing trends in a signal detection experiment with synthetic single-slice (ss) and multi-slice (ms) image datasets of varying task complexity, defined in this study as the ratio of the background lump size to the signal width. Three dataset types were generated by inserting one 3D Gaussian target of fixed size into the center of 3D volumes of correlated Gaussian noise with three different kernel sizes. Corresponding signal intensities were determined separately for the three background types using the staircase method targeting an AUC of 0.7 for ss datasets. Non-expert human readers were presented with ss (central slice of the volume) and ms datasets (slice-by-slice viewing in a stack-browsing mode). Readers were aware of the target's approximate location within the slice or volume. Readers could scroll freely through the ms datasets at arbitrary speed and direction with no time limit. Experiments were conducted in a controlled viewing environment on a 5MP digital mammography display. AUCs were 0.68-0.73 for ss; 0.82-0.98 for ms datasets. Reading time (ms, ss), the number of repetitions through the stack (ms), and the average number of slices per repetition (ms) were assessed. Browsing speeds were in the range of 1-7 slices per second. Results show that readers spent the shortest time and fewest repetitions reading TP cases, with FP and FN cases requiring the most attention. The reported trends concur with earlier chest x-ray and mammography studies which report that readers fixate longer on regions subsequently rated incorrectly.
Carcinoma de pulmón no microcítico. Estadios IIIA y B. Resultados del tratamiento combinado (quimioterapia y radioterapia) y análisis de factores pronósticos

Objetivo La mayoria de los pacientes con carcinoma de pulmon no microcitico y estadio III no son candidatos a cirugia y pueden beneficiarse del tratamiento combinado con quimioterapia (QT) y radioterapia (RT). En este trabajo se han analizado los resultados de una pauta combinada secuencial y el valor pronostico de variables clinicas y analiticas iniciales. Pacientes y metodos Se ha realizado un estudio retrospectivo de 92 pacientes con carcinoma de pulmon no microcitico y estadio III tratados con una pauta secuencial combinada de QT (3 combinaciones diferentes de carboplatino: con etoposido, con gencitabina y con paclitaxel) y RT (6.000 cGy: 200 cGy diarios, 5 dias/semana). Se evaluaron la respuesta, la supervivencia global y el valor pronostico de variables epidemiologicas, clinicas y analiticas mediante analisis univariante y multivariante. Resultados La supervivencia mediana fue de 14 meses, con una supervivencia a los 3 anos del 16,1%. El mal estado general –grado 2 de la escala del Eastern Cooperative Oncological Group (ECOG)–, la anemia y las concentraciones sericas elevadas de antigeno carcinoembrionario fueron predictivos de peor supervivencia en el modelo multivariante. Ademas, en el analisis univariante la perdida de peso y los diagnosticados antes del ano 2000 tambien se asociaron a peor pronostico (p Conclusiones Un mal estado general (ECOG 2) debe considerarse una contraindicacion para el uso de pautas combinadas de QT y RT. La perdida de peso, las concentraciones sericas elevadas de antigeno carcinoembrionario y una cifra de hemoglobina igual o inferior a 12 g/dl conllevan peor pronostico.
A Fast and Efficient Framework for Creating Parallel Corpus

Objectives: A framework involving Scansnap SV600 scanner and Google Optical character recognition (OCR) for creating parallel corpus which is a very essential component of Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). Methods and Analysis: Training a language model for a SMT system highly depends on the availability of a parallel corpus. An efficacious approach for collecting parallel sentences is the predominant step in an MT system. However, the creation of a parallel corpus requires extensive knowledge in both languages which is a time consuming process. Due to these limitations, making the documents digital becomes very difficult and which in turn affects the quality of machine translation systems. In this paper, we propose a faster and efficient way of generating English to Indian languages parallel corpus with less human involvement. With the help of a special type of scanner called Scansnap SV600 and Google OCR and a little linguistic knowledge, we can create a parallel corpus for any language pair, provided there should be paper documents with parallel sentences. Findings: It was possible to generate 40 parallel sentences in 1 hour time with this approach. Sophisticated morphological tools were used for changing the morphology of the text generated and thereby increase the size of the corpus. An additional benefit of this is to make ancient scriptures or other manuscripts in digital format which can then be referred by the coming generation to keep up the traditions of a nation or a society. Novelty: Time required for creating parallel corpus is reduced by incorporating Google OCR and book scanner.

Meeting Report: Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE) on Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia, Mexico City, Mexico, 3rd to 4th October 2016

From October 3 to 4, 2016, the fourth meeting of haematologists who belonged to the institute for social security and services for state workers (ISSSTE) was held, the meeting was held in Mexico City, Mexico. Attending this working meeting, medical fellows of the specialty of Haematology and Paediatric Haematology, as well as attached doctors of both specialties that work in different hospitals in Mexico City and the rest of the country, the purpose of the attendees to this consensus was discuss, update, and homogenize the protocols of diagnostic and therapeutic approach in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia of all ages. All participants appreciated the opportunity to participate in one of the most important cooperation projects of the ISSSTE and to be able to offer updated treatment protocols to this population or, failing that, to send them a Medical Center that can provide hospital care as soon as possible. Physicians took advantage of this meeting for the scientific exchange, the discussion on projects in course and were planned the development of other consensuses being the closest the one of lymphomas. As in the previous consensuses that were published in a National magazine. The coordinator of this project raised to the attendees the possibility of a publication in magazines of greater prestige international since in countries like Mexico the cooperative work is not frequent and the group of haematologists belonging to ISSSTE are working towards this goal. This consensus was considered as a very well-organized platform to support the research of young fellows in the specialty to stimulate the team work in protocols of the different haematological pathologies and to inform the world the results achieved in a population of patients attended by the ISSSTE. In agreement with the main objective of this consensus on acute lymphoblastic leukaemia once finished and discussed throughout the haematological group, the coordinator for the consensus of lymphomas was unanimously appointed and thus to stimulate the creation of the national protocol of treatment for this pathology. The coordinator also reported that thanks to teamwork, consensus organization and work with the treatment protocols, patients with multiple myeloma are already being recruited and to be able to announce our results.
A low-cost PC-oriented virtual environment for operator training [for power stations]

Virtual environment (VE) technologies have been shown to provide invaluable training in the performance of complex procedural tasks. Of paramount importance to the success of any VE is realism; entities must move and behave believably and approximate the complexity of the real world. Such real-world fidelity is accompanied by the challenge of making immersive training in virtual reality (VR) more widely available, at costs significantly less prohibitive. A solution is presented to recreate the VE on low-cost PCs, reducing the cost of the VR software itself, yet preserving real-time performance. This paper presents a low-cost, PC-based VR development system within the framework of ESOPE-VR, a VR power station operator training simulator (OTS) prototype for power-utility personnel. PC-ESOPE-VR aims to provide the same or improved functionality and performance as the original, with a 3-D visual interface, voice recognition and feedback, navigation and manipulation facilities and expert system, multimedia and multi-user (distributed) support, yet address the practical demands raised above. The PC-based system is also compatible with the original; it can draw on existing ESOPE-VR power component libraries and support the automatic synthesis of a virtual power station environment from its single-line diagram representation. The approach used towards fulfilling all these issues is described, followed by key implementation results.
Exploration on the Data Visualization Based on the Case of Infographics

The article in infographics for example, analysis and data visualization aesthetic relationship, data visualization is an excellent creative product design aesthetics and rigorous engineering science. Presented with a very beautiful form can be very boring tedious data. I try to find the background behind each data graph, add labels and notes, hoping to deeper understanding of the meaning of these charts are presented, rather than stay on for the "nice" praise. These pictures can not speak, but they are more powerful than words and language. Finally, the paper analyzes the value and prospects of data visualization have. Analysis on Design Aesthetics What is the Beauty of Design As a reality-based artistic creative activity, design shows unique aesthetic characteristics. For the beauty of design, its creation proves to grow out of products shape and design, and its realization is attributed to consumers. To create a wonderful experience for users, designer cognizes aesthetic object from user perspective and interprets the emotional meaning of the works according to the possible rules of psychological cognition. Only in this way, will users be able to perceive the beauty of design. That is, what designer reflects is not the subjective feeling but the commercial purpose and audiences aesthetic trend. For a design, the aesthetic value is primarily embodied in application, with aesthetic creation intended to serve the society, the market and people. The inability to attain the said objective will signify the failure ofa design.
Studi osservazionali Calcificazioni coronariche in una popolazione di donne in post-menopausa affette da sindrome metabolica

Background. The aim of this study was to evaluate the burden of coronary calcifications in a subgroup of post-menopausal women with metabolic syndrome (MS) in agreement with the National Cholesterol Educational Program-Third Report of the Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (NCEP-ATP III) definition. Methods. We studied 81 women (43 control subjects and 38 women with MS) in agreement with the NCEP-ATP III definition undergoing multislice computed tomography for evaluation of coronary calcifications. The patients were similar for Framingham risk score. Results. The severity and extent of coronary artery calcifications were higher in individuals with MS (10.8 ± 15.8 vs 3.02 ± 5.6; p = 0.006). In all patients total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins and triglycerides were correlated with calcium score (p <0.05) while high-density lipoproteins were inversely correlated with coronary calcifications. In women with MS total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were correlated with calcium score. Conclusions. Women with MS have a higher burden of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis. The correlation between MS and calcium score concerned more the presence rather than the severity of coronary calcifications. Moreover, no correlation was observed among single components of MS in agreement with the NCEP-ATP III definition.
Intraocular Pressure Fluctuation – Assess in Clinical Practice

intraocular pressure (ioP) is the main risk factor for the development and progression of glaucoma. Treatment is based on ioP reduction and isolated tonometric readings are usually performed for clinical management of the disease. however, ioP is not a static parameter and varies considerably throughout the day. This variability, or fluctuation, has classically been considered a risk factor for glaucoma. Nevertheless, recent studies demonstrate that pressure peaks are the most relevant ioP parameter for the prediction of visual field progression. The lack of a standard definition of ioP fluctuation compromises its clinical assessment and may explain in part the contradictory results found in the literature. This review will analyse options for ioP fluctuation assessment, their limitations and the impact of this parameter on the management of glaucoma.
Communication Nonlinearities Techniques for Analysis of Passive Intermodulation

This paper is concerned with characterisation of passive intermodulation (PIM) in distributed RF circuits and components with the aid of emerging nonlinear RF techniques. Conventionally, intermodulation (IM) is defined as a phenomenon which is characterised by the appearance of additional spectral components in the output spectrum of a nonlinear system different from the carrier frequencies. The IM products occurring in the Tx or Rx bands can cause intolerable signal distortion. In the frequency division duplexing (FDD) systems, the Tx/Rx IM distortion results from the nonlinear mixing of the Tx signals and manifest themselves as the IM products in the Rx band. With respect to the transmitter IM, the IM products in the Tx band, which may, for instance, originate from amplifier nonlinearity, appear as either intrachannel or interchannel nonlinear interference. In the multi-band and co-located systems, the products of the nonlinear mixing of the Tx signals from arbitrary bands can fall within any Tx or Rx band. In general, the Tx signals are modulated, which adds to complexity of the IM analysis, since the bandwidth of the IM products scales up with the their order. Ultimately, the IM products debilitate the receiver sensitivity and data throughput in wireless communications systems.
