Comparative Study of Diabetic Patient Data Using Classiﬁcation Algorithm in Weaka

: Diabetes mellitus is now a big growing health problem as it is fourth biggest cause of death world wide particularly in the industrial and developing countries.Early detection of diabetes is of vital importance nowadays.There have been many techniques used in Machine learning that were applied over diabetes diagnosis to help physicians. Diabetes mellitus or simply diabetes is a disease caused due to the increase level of blood glucose. Various available traditional methods for diagnosing diabetes are based on physical and chemical tests. These methods can have errors due to different uncertainties. A number of Data mining algorithms were designed to overcome these uncertainties.
The research of optimal selection of interruptible load based on voltage quality and economy

The implementation of interruptible load improves the quality of power supply and economy in power system, the optimal removal order of interruptible load should be considered from these two aspects. Based on compensation price, nodal price and line loss were divided into the economy of interruptible load for power system, and the parameters of nodal price and line loss were calculated from the Optimal Power Flow (OPF). Also, the conception of removal price was described. Then the effects of interruptible load on voltage quality and economy were respectively quantified and integrated as the optimal removal order of interruptible load. The ratio of voltage quality index to economic index was regarded as the ground of interruptible load removal order and the flowchart was proposed for power system to remove interruptible load. Finally a test of our optimal removal order of interruptible load on a simple system was carried out, and the test result proves the reasonableness and effectiveness of the proposed method.
Loss minimization in high-speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines with tooth-coil windings

This paper investigates loss minimization in high-speed, low-power Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSMs) with tooth-coil windings (TC-PMSMs). The influence of the main geometric parameters on the loss distribution is studied. Stator core and winding losses as well as rotor sleeve and permanent magnet (PM) losses are evaluated. The effect of the magnetic wedges on the loss distribution is examined. The machine working temperature and related PM demagnetization risks at the rated working point are presented for two- and three-phase short-circuits. The total losses of the designed PMSM are evaluated and a minimum total loss value is obtained.
Behavior grouping of Android malware family

Malicious apps may install unwanted program or gather sensitive information from mobile devices. We notice Android apps fork several threads to accomplish a complex task intrinsically, and so does Android malware, that makes security experts difficult to analyze them without knowing their structure. In this paper, we propose an analysis scheme to group and analyze Android malware based on their dynamic behaviors, and to identify the behaviors of a malware family. In addition, we apply the techniques of phylogenetic tree, significant principal components and dot matrix on different malware families to demonstrate their behavioral correlations. The proposed methods can automatically discover similar behaviors of different malware groups, extract the characteristics of each malware group, and provide visualized information based on runtime behaviors. We anticipate the grouping result and the structure of malware family are important and essential for further malware behavior analysis researches.
Indications for Surgical Fusion of the Cervical and Lumbar Motion Segment

Study Design. A literature review and the authors’ clinical experience for the indication of fusion in the degenerative lumbar and cervical spine is provided. Objective. To establish absolute and relative criteria for the indication for fusion in the degenerative cervical and lumbar spine. Summary of Background Data. Fusion in the cervical and lumbar degenerative spine is indicated under certain strict criteria. However, fusion in circumstances not meeting these criteria is controversial. Method. A review of the literature and the authors’ experience concerning indication and criteria of fusion in degenerative, lumbar, and cervical spine is provided. Results. Fusion for the unstable spine related to trauma, infection, and tumors is relatively accepted. However, indications for fusion for degenerative, cervical, and lumbar spine are more controversial. Conclusion. Lumbar and cervical fusion in the degenerative spine is frequently performed. Certain criteria have been established when a fusion should be considered. However, even these are not universally accepted. Strict prospective studies are needed to determine when a fusion of the degenerative, cervical, and lumbar spine is indicated. Patients with severe radicular pain may be considered for surgery after a comprehensive trial of conservative management. Fusion is usually necessary after a cervical discectomy, especially when spondylosis or osteophytic compression is present. Lumbar fusion is rarely indicated for routine discectomy. In patients with mechanical back or neck pain, surgery should only be considered after conservative measures have been exhausted and a radiographic abnormality is present at the symptomatic level, perhaps with pain concordant with discographic findings. Careful patient selection is the key to obtaining favorable surgical outcomes. In many cases, the goal may be a return to functionality rather than achieving a completely asymptomatic state.
Propiedades físico-químicas y funcionales de los bananos de postres, plátanos de cocción y FHIA híbridos : Preferencia varietal de los consumidores en Colombia

23 Varietes de Musa sp. de differents groupes genetiques (banane dessert et bananes a cuire, hybrides FHIA) consommees en Colombie on ete decrites. Les caracteristiques physiques et morphologiques des fruits entiers ou peles (Poids du regime, du raquis, des mains et des doigts; nombre de mains et de doigts par main, densite des mains et des doigts, longueur et perimetre des doigts, pourcentage de peau, fraction comestible); les caracteristiques physicochimiques de la pulpe des fruits (Matiere seche, teneur en mineraux: Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium) et de l'amidon (Temperature de gelatinisation Onset, pourcentage d'amylose) ainsi que les proprietes fonctionnelles des farines (viscoamylogramme RVA) on ete etudiees. Les bananes a cuire sont de plus grande taille et de plus gros diametre que les bananes dessert. Les plantains d'utilisation industrielle en Colombie presentent entre 35 et 39% de peau. Une variation entre clones tres importante a ete mise en evidence entre 24% et 47% de peau. Des differences significatives (P 21% (P<0.01). L'analyse des proprietes rheologique montre que la temperature d'empesage des farines permet de differencier les farines de banane dessert (69.5°C) < Hybrides FHIA dessert + banane a cuire (hormis plantain) (72.8t) < hybrides FHIA a cuire + plantain (75.8t) (P<0.01). L'evaluation de la facilite de cuisson permet aussi de differencier les bananes dessert + hybrides FHIA (236 s.) des bananes a cuire (183 s). (P<0.05). L'etude a permis de mettre en evidence une relation entre les choix et les preferences d'usage des consommateurs avec les proprietes physicochimiques et rheologiques des pulpes, farines et amidons de musacees. Ces travaux permettent aujourd'hui de proposer de nouvelles methodes d'analyses pour differencier les varietes et la prediction de leurs comportements a la cuisson. (Resume d'auteur)
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma involving bone marrow presenting with persistent anemia

A 54-year-old man presented with persistent anemia (hemoglobin ranging from 7.6 to 9.5 g/dl), fever, and night sweats. Imaging studies showed multiple liver and bilateral pulmonary nodules, numerous small lucent lesions throughout the thoracic spine, and a destructive right seventh posterior rib lesion. Laboratory testing showed iron deficiency anemia with a component of anemia of chronic disease (iron: 22 mg/dl, ferritin 609 ng/ml, soluble transferring receptor 9.0 mg/l) with mildly elevated lactate dehydrogenase (399 U/l) and negative direct antiglobulin test. Blood cultures (including fungal and acid fast bacilli) were negative and white blood cell counts were within the reference range. Though human immunodeficiency virus testing was not performed, flow cytometry showed a normal CD4/CD8 ratio. The serum electrophoresis pattern was reported as consistent with acute inflammation or a stress response, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 105 mm/hr. Bone marrow biopsy showed marrow infiltration by a vascular proliferation characterized by slightly spindled epithelioid cells forming nests and few distinct vascular channels, filled with blood (Fig. 1A). Miniature intracytoplasmic lumina containing red blood cells (Fig. 1B) were evident in some epithelioid cells. There were no atypical features such as high mitotic activity or cellular pleomorphism. The neoplastic cells were positive for CD34 (Fig. 1C), CD31, Factor VIII, and smooth muscle actin (Fig. 1D) and negative for HHV8-LANA by immunohistochemistry, which together with the histology confirmed the diagnosis of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, a malignant angiocentric vascular tumor. There was no evidence of hemophagocytosis in the smear or bone marrow biopsy. A subsequent liver biopsy was also performed which supported the diagnosis. Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma usually presents as a superficial or deep soft tissue mass. About half the cases are associated with or arise from a vein. Metastases are usually to lymph nodes, lung, liver, and bone and are usually seen in tumors with atypical features. A small portion of benign appearing epithelioid hemangioendotheliomas do metastasize. However, involvement of the bone marrow is very rare. The epithelioid nature of some vascular neoplasms such as the current case or epithelioid angiosarcoma can pose diagnostic difficulties due to the abundant cytoplasm and positivity for immunomarkers indicative of epithelial origin such as cytokeratin, bringing into the differential metastatic carcinoma, melanoma, large cell lymphoma, and other epithelioid sarcomas. Vascular neoplasms can also present with hematologic abnormalities such as thrombocytopenia, disseminated vascular coagulation causing Kasabach–Merritt syndrome, autoimmune and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, Evans syndrome, hyposplenism, and rarely erythrophagocytosis [1–5].
Macropsychanalyse de la crise financière

[fre] La crise financiere qui a eclate en aout 2007, la crise du « subprime », se prete a une interpretation economique simple et plutot convaincante. Mais, comme a chaque fois qu’une bulle eclate, on est amene a se demander comment pareils exces ont ete possibles et pourquoi - s’ils sont si bien analyses et qu’ils etaient si previsibles - il ne s’est trouve personne pour les eviter. La crise dure depuis sept a huit mois et les economistes s’emploient maintenant a donner les raisons qui en retardent autant l’issue. Leur demonstration n’est pas moins pertinente. L’objectif ici est d’examiner les crises financieres d’un point de vue different, non pas concurrent mais complementaire : celui qu’adopterait un observateur exterieur qui traiterait analystes, economistes et autres commentateurs, comme des protagonistes du drame, et qui s’interesserait non a l’evolution des variables economiques et financieres, mais aux etats psychologiques que traversent les acteurs. On espere ainsi saisir les traits communs a toutes les crises financieres et les specificites de celle que nous vivons. Nous avons preconise cette approche dans un ouvrage recent (Levy-Garboua, Maarek, 2007) sous le label de macropsychanalyse. Elle tente d’eclairer les phenomenes sociaux en faisant l’hypothese que, comme les individus, les « groupes structures » ont un psychisme collectif et que les concepts de la psychanalyse peuvent etre - moyennant quelques adaptations - transposes a ces groupes.
A Distributed Parallel Model to Analyze Journal Impact Factors

A simple abstract model is developed as a parallel experimental basis for the aim of exploring the differences of journal impact factors, particularly between different disciplines. Our model endeavors to simulate the publication and citation behaviors of the articles in the journals belonging to a similar discipline, in a distributed manner. Based on simulation experiments, the mechanism of influence from several fundamental factors to the trend of impact factor is revealed. These factors include the average review cycle, average number of references and yearly distribution of references. Moreover, satisfactory approximation could possibly be observed between certain actual data and simulation results.
Interference-aware routing protocol in multi-radio wireless mesh networks

Utilization of multiple radio interfaces increases throughput of wireless networks. Existing work proposes a multi-radio routing protocol exploiting link quality and channel diversity of a path. While an established path is deteriorated by interferences incurred by any changes in a network, and existing work does not detect the deterioration. In this paper, we propose an interference-aware multi-radio routing protocol detecting and resolving dynamic path deterioration in wireless mesh networks.
Dietary Supplement Use Was Very High among Older Adults in the United States in 2011-2014.

Background: Dietary supplements (DSs) have the potential to be both beneficial and harmful to health, especially in adults aged ≥60 y, and therefore it is important to monitor the patterns of their use.Objective: This study evaluated DS use by adults aged ≥60 y to characterize the use of DSs, determine the motivations for use, and examine the associations between the use of DSs and selected demographic, lifestyle, and health characteristics.Methods: Data from 3469 older adults aged ≥60 y from the 2011-2014 NHANES were analyzed. DSs used in the past 30 d were ascertained via an interviewer-administered questionnaire in participants' homes. The prevalence of overall DS use and specific types of DSs were estimated. The number of DSs reported and the frequency, duration, and motivation(s) for use were assessed. Logistic regression models were constructed to examine the association between DS use and selected characteristics.Results: Seventy percent of older adults in the United States reported using ≥1 DS in the past 30 d; 54% of users took 1 or 2 products, and 29% reported taking ≥4 products. The most frequently reported products were multivitamin or mineral (MVM) (39%), vitamin D only (26%), and omega-3 fatty acids (22%). Women used DSs almost twice as often as men [adjusted OR (aOR), 1.8; 95% CI: 1.5, 2.3). Those not reporting prescription medications were less likely to take a DS than those reporting ≥3 prescription medications (aOR, 0.4; 95% CI: 0.3, 0.6). The most frequently reported motivation for DS use was to improve overall health (41%). Conclusions: Use of DSs among older adults continues to be high in the United States, with 29% of users regularly taking ≥4 DSs, and there is a high concurrent usage of them with prescription medications.
Acute and long-term outcome after catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia in patients after the Mustard or Senning operation for D-transposition of the great arteries.

AIMS Data about the acute and long-term outcome of catheter ablation in patients with D-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) post-Mustard/Senning operation are scarce. METHODS AND RESULTS This single-centre retrospective analysis includes 26 patients (mean age 28.7 ± 6.7 years, 8 females) after Mustard (n = 15) or Senning (n = 11) operation who underwent catheter ablation for intra-atrial re-entrant tachycardia (IART) or atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) from January 2004 to May 2011. The electrophysiological studies were performed using a three-dimensional mapping system (CARTO). Remote magnetic navigation (RMN) was available since 2008. Follow-up on an outpatient basis was conducted 3, 6, and 12 months after ablation and yearly thereafter. In the 26 patients, 34 procedures were performed (one procedure n = 19, two n = 6, and three n = 1). Overall, 34 tachycardia forms (IART n = 30; AVNRT n = 4) were ablated manually (n = 25) or by RMN (n = 9). Acute success reached in 29/34 forms (85.3%). Mean fluoroscopy time (FT) was 28.2 ± 20.7 min and mean procedure duration (PD) was 290.9 ± 107.6 min. After a mean follow-up of 34.1 ± 24.5 months, 25/26 (96.2%) patients were free from IART or AVNRT. In the nine RMN ablations (mean follow-up 14.2 ± 5.8 months) acute and long-term success was 100%. Fluoroscopy time and PD were significantly reduced using RMN compared with manual ablation (11.9 ± 6.2 vs. 34.6 ± 20.6 min, 225.7 ± 24.1 vs. 312 ± 118.2 min, P = 0.02). CONCLUSION Catheter ablation of IART or AVNRT in patients post-Mustard/Senning operation for d-TGA has a high acute success rate. The recurrence rate for IART is about 30%; however, after a second ablation, long-term results are excellent. Remote magnetic navigation seems to improve single-procedure acute and long-term success and significantly reduces FT and PD.
Long-term Follow-up of Lower Lumbar Fusion Patients

To determine the long-term effects of lower lumbar fusion, 94 subjects were catalogued from medical records. They had a lumbar arthrodesis at the third lumbar level or below and their operations were performed before 1964. Twenty-four were not located and 8 were deceased. Sixty-two subjects (72% of available sample) completed a telephone interview; 52 subjects completed a comprehensive low back questionnaire; and 33 subjects returned for physical examination, flexion–extension lateral lumbar spine films, and a limited computerized axial tomographic (CAT) scan. In general, the subjects who returned for complete evaluation were representative of the larger sample. Forty of 62 patients were men. Ages ranged from 41 to 83 years; the median age was 66 years, 6 months. Follow-up ranged from 21 to 52 years; the median follow-up was 33 years. Forty-four percent (27/61) were currently experiencing low-back pain, 57% (35/61) had back pain in the last year. Fifty-three percent (33/62) were using medication. Fifteen percent (9/62) had undergone repeat lumbar surgery, however, only 5% (3/62) required surgery as a late sequela (more than 10 years postoperatively). Forty-two percent (14/33) had lumbar spinal stenosis, but only 15% (5/33) had dural tube measurements less than 100 mm2. Segmental instability above the fusion was present in 45% (15/33). There was a significant correlation between segmental instability and lumbar spinal stenosis (r =.57, P <.01). Neither radiographic condition correlated with symptoms, however. Patients fused for spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis were likely to report incidence of pain and reported less severe pain than patients fused for other reasons (P <.01 and <.10, respectively). There was no significant difference in the disability assessments between these surgical subgroups. Although patients after lower lumbar fusion report more pain than the general population and have more radiographic evidence of instability and stenosis than expected for the general population, they are generally doing well and are satisfied with the results of their surgery.
Complete Surgery for Low Rectal Endometriosis: Long-term Results of a 100-Case Prospective Study

Objective:We conducted a prospective study to assess the long-term results of complete surgery for low rectal endometriosis (LRE), paying particular attention to surgical complications, functional results, and disease recurrence after a follow-up of at least 5 years. Summary Background Data:Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) may infiltrate the midlow rectum and lead to severe pelvic pain. Complete resection of LRE is reluctantly considered by young women of childbearing age. Methods:From 1995 to 2003, 100 women with severe pelvic pain and previous incomplete surgery (n = 82) underwent complete open surgery for LRE after thorough preoperative imaging work-up. This included total or subtotal rectal excision with combined resection of all extrarectal endometriotic lesions. Univariate analysis of predictive factors for transient neurogenic bladder and surgical complications was performed. Mean follow-up was 78 ± 15 months. Results:All patients underwent rectal resection with straight coloanal (n = 16) or low colorectal anastomosis (n = 84). A concomitant extrarectal procedure was required in all instances, including gynecologic procedures (n = 100), additional intestinal (n = 45), and urologic (n = 23) resections. A fertility-preserving procedure was possible in 92% of the patients. Mean numbers of DIE and endometriotic lesions were 3.9 ± 1.4 and 5.5 ± 1.6 per patient, respectively. There were no deaths and the surgical morbidity rate was 16%. Sixteen patients developed a transient peripheral neurogenic bladder, which was more frequently observed after colonanal anastomosis (P < 0.001) or concomitant hysterectomy (P < 0.01) and in patients with more than 4 DIE lesions (P < 0.05). At last follow-up, 94 patients had complete (n = 83) or very satisfactory (n = 11) relief of symptoms. Urine voiding and fecal continence was satisfactory in all cases. There was no recurrence of colorectal and/or urologic endometriosis and the overall DIE recurrence rate was 2%. Conclusions:Complete surgery for LRE provides excellent long-term functional results in 94% of the patients, provided all extraintestinal endometriotic lesions are resected during the same surgical procedure. In that setting, the overall 5-year recurrence rate is very low.
SPYING ON THE PAST: Declassified Intelligence Satellite Photographs and Near Eastern Landscapes

Near Eastern archaeology has its origins in the scramble for great objects, as the great imperial powers of the nineteenth century filled their national museums. Since that time, the questions that archaeologists seek to answer have diversified. We are no longer interested only in the lives of kings; we are more concerned with society generally. Our questions now demand a perspective beyond the excavation trench; we have to consider entire landscapes if we want to know about the rise of urbanism, human land use and environmental impacts, and the demographic impacts of states and empires, for example. This broadening of research horizons was behind the growth of archaeological survey as a field method in the later twentieth century.
Lange and his 1938-contribution An early Keynesian?

In February 1936 John Maynard Keynes gave birth to modern macroeconomics when he published The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. In some ways Oskar Lange was seemly also very critical of mainstream neoclassi-cal thinking although known as a working marginalist for the greater part of his life. In this note we try to identify what Lange might have had so say of Keynesian nature especially in an important contribution from 1938. I would like to thank Danuta Tomczak, Oestfold University College Remmen, Halden, Norway, and Heine Ruppert, Department of Environmental and Busi-ness Economics, for comments to an earlier draft of this paper.
