Towards Very Large Knowledge Bases

From the Publisher: This book presents progress on Building and Sharing Very Large-Scale Knowledge Bases. Progress made so fare: two large-scale projects, EDR and CYC, which have almost been completed; their results await commercial exploitation. In specific scientific domains, progress has been even more formidable: in molecular biology, for instance, large knowledge bases have become (part of the) essential tools for researchers in that domain, as reported in this volume. Another development is the attention being paid to structuring large knowledge bases. The use of a carefully developed set of concepts, called an ontology, is becoming almost standard practice. These developments are also presented in the book. Towards Very Large Knowledge Bases is a guide to the current state of the art in building and sharing very large knowledge bases, and intended as a catalyst to future research, development and applications.
Les modèles non-unitaires de comportement du ménage: un survol de la littérature

Cet article s’interesse aux modeles non unitaires de comportement du menage. Ces modeles supposent explicitement que le menage est compose de plusieurs personnes ayant des preferences distinctes. Ils se classent alors en deux categories principales : d’une part, les modeles cooperatifs (ou collectifs), dans lesquels les allocations sont supposees efficaces au sens de Pareto, et d’autre part, les modeles non cooperatifs (ou strategiques) qui s’appuient sur la notion d’equilibre de Cournot-Nash. Dans ces modeles, les fonctions qui caracterisent le comportement du menage doivent satisfaire des contraintes differentes des traditionnelles conditions de Slutsky. De plus, dans certains cas particuliers, les preferences des membres du menage peuvent etre identifiees a partir du comportement observable.
A High Quality Videophone Coder Using Hierarchical Motion Estimation And Structure Coding Of The Prediction Error

For the realization of a videophone for use with the ISDN at data rates as low as 64 kbit/s there is a demand for powerful coding algorithms. In this paper new concepts for motion estimation and residual error coding, which are the most important parts of an hybrid codec, are introduced: Fast motion estimation algorithms to be found in many approaches, assume a monotonous behavior of the matching criterion with respect to the displacement. This assumption does not hold in reality. Therefore a hierarchical block matching motion estimation algorithm is introduced, which approaches the performance of a full search at a fraction of the computational cost. The algorithm combines a full search with a vector quantization as a first stage. In a second stage a full search with sub-pel accuracy is performed only over the small region corresponding to the codeword of the first stage. By motion compensated prediction the image of the residual error is obtained. A statistical analysis of this image shows that methods for data compression of natural images, e.g. transform coding, are not suitable for coding of the prediction error images. Instead, a structure coding scheme is proposed: The special signal statistics of the error signal allows a coarse quantization in the original domain. Dominant block types are coded using a quadtree. The scheme offers the additional advantage of easy implementation, unlike the DCT. Computer simulations show an improved picture quality even for strong scene movement without the usual artifacts, like blocking for example.
MODIFIKASI PONTON PADA DOK APUNG ( FLOATING DOCK ) UNTUK MENGHINDARI WAKTU YANG HILANG SAAT REPARASI

Selama ini apabila melakukan reparasi ponton pada dok apung 1 di PT.Dok Perkapalan Surabaya dengan kemampuan angkat 3500 TLC ( Ton Lifting Capacity ), sistem bongkar pasang pada dok apung masih belum efisien, karena ponton dengan sidewall dok apung dalam kondisi fix dan ketika salah satu ponton direparasi ada gap yang cukup besar sehingga diduga terjadi defleksi pada bagian tersebut. Dari hal tersebut direncanakan sebuah dok apung dengan 5, 6 dan 7 ponton dan sistem konstruksi yang bertujuan untuk penataan ponton dan juga untuk kekuatan pada dok apung sehingga mengurangi defleksi pada bagian yang akan direparasi. Dari perencanaan tersebut dok apung dengan 5 ponton memiliki daya angkat 2.300 TLC, dan dicoba dengan kapal yang mempunyai berat 2189 ton menghasilkan tegangan sebesar 3,12 N/mm2 dan defleksi maksimum sebesar 2,8 x 10-2 mm, dok apung dengan 6 ponton memiliki daya angkat 2900 TLC, dan dicoba dengan kapal yang mempunyai berat 2834 ton menghasilkan tegangan sebesar 0,78 N/mm2 dan defleksi maksimum sebesar 8,2 x 10-4 mm, dok apung dengan 7 ponton memiliki daya angkat 3500 TLC, dan dicoba dengan kapal yang mempunyai berat 3405 ton menghasilkan tegangan sebesar 0,03 N/mm2 dan defleksi maksimum sebesar 1,8 x 10-6 mm. Berdasarkan BKI ( Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia ), Volume 2, Section 5 tahun 2006, tegangan maksimum yang diijinkan adalah ≤ 192,3 N/mm2, dari perhitungan tegangan perencanaan dok apung dengan 5, 6 dan 7 ponton semuanya memenuhi persyaratan BKI. Penataan ponton menyebabkan adanya perubahan pada tegangan dan defleksi sebesar 11,44 N/mm2 dan 0,409 mm untuk jumlah ponton 6 dan 37,94 N/mm2 dan 5,23 mm untuk jumlah ponton 5.
Upright but not inverted faces modify the perception of the emotion in the voice

Des travaux anterieurs ont demontre l'existence d'influences mutuelles automatiques entre les emotions exprimees par des visages presentes au regard et par des phrases entendues. L'objectif de la presente etude etait de determiner si, dans le cas particulier de l'influence de l'expression faciale sur l'identification du ton affectif de la voix, l'effet resiste a l'inversion du visage, une manipulation dont on sait qu'elle deteriore la reconnaissance de l'expression tout comme celle de l'identite personnelle. De jeunes adultes ont recu pour tâche de classer comme heureux ou effraye le ton de voix des phrases d'un continuum allant en 7 echelons du bonheur a la peur. Les phrases etaient presentees seules ou en meme temps qu'une photo statique d'un visage exprimant soit le bonheur, soit la peur, en orientation normale ou inversee. La consigne pour les essais bimodaux etait de baser le jugement sur la seule voix et d'ignorer le visage. Un biais de ce jugement dans la direction de l'expression du visage est apparu pour l'orientation normale, mais non pour l'orientation inversee. On discute la relation de ces resultats avec les mecanismes qui sous-tendent la reconnaissance multimodale des emotions.
Study on Hermitian, Skew-Hermitian and Uunitary Matrices as a part of Normal Matrices

A normal matrix plays an important role in the theory of matrices. It includes Hermitian matrices and enjoy several of the same properties as Hermitian matrices. Indeed, while we proved that Hermitian matrices are unitarily diagonalizable, we did not establish any converse; normal matrices are also unitarily diagonalizable. In this present paper we have tried to establish the proper relation of normal matrices with others.
Récupération d'horloge par boucle à verrouillage de phase utilisant le mélange à quatre ondes dans un amplificateur optique à semi-conducteurs

La recuperation d'horloge est une fonction critique des reseaux optiques a haut debit, pour la reception et a la regeneration de signaux. Les boucles a verrouillage de phase (PLL) habituellement utilisees peuvent etre reproduites a base de composants optiques non-lineaires plus rapides comme les amplificateurs optiques a semi-conducteurs (SOA). Apres quelques generalites sur les PLL et les SOA, deux systemes de recuperation d'horloge sont presentes, a base de melange a quatre ondes dans un SOA. Cet effet non-lineaire est etudie, ainsi que les systemes eux-memes, lesquels sont demontres experimentalement sur des signaux optiques RZ et NRZ a 10 Gbps. Des mesures d'erreurs montrent une penalite negligeable ; on obtient une bande d'accrochage de quelques dizaines de kHz, une gigue autour de la ps. Ces schemas a base de non-linearites ultrarapides peuvent etre etendus a plusieurs centaines de Gbps (voire au-dela) et a la recuperation fractionnelle, pour du demultiplexage temporel.
REDUCING OF ERROR IN THE MEDICATION PROCESS OF A PRIVATE HOSPITAL IN NORTHEAST OF THAILAND

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the decreasing of medication error before and after the developed prevention strategies were used. Methods: The data of medication errors during January 2009 to December 2010 were retrospective collected. The stages of medication error were identified and medication error rate of each stage was calculated. The developed strategies for prevention of medication errors; look-alike soundalike drugs management, adverse drug reaction report system, medication error report system, drug information service, and ward stock system were constructed. The data of medication errors during January 2011 to June 2012 were collected. The stages, type, percentage of occurrence, and severity of medication error were identified and calculated. Reducing of medication error was monitored. Results: Before the developed strategies for prevention of medication error were used, the most stage of medication error was higher error rate than the goal in both out-patient and in-patient departments. However, after the developed strategies were used, the error rate was decreased and less than the goal in both out-patient and in-patient departments indicated that the developed strategies are successful to reduce medication error of this private hospital. Conclusion: The developed strategies for prevention the medication error reduce the error in the medication process both out-patient and inpatient departments. However, the surveillance of the ME rates should be further monitored.
Mapping science introduction: Past, present and future

EDITOR'S SUMMARY From early cartography to modern science maps, visual presentations facilitate understanding of large amounts of data. A traveling exhibit entitled Places and Spaces: Mapping Science has presented outstanding maps illustrating different designs and applications since 2005. The 10th year of the exhibit focuses on the future of science mapping and features five maps described in this special section of the Bulletin. Topics include the history of physics and key contributors, the development of the Internet and the structure of fields and topics in science and technology. Each emerged from latent relationships among elements in large volumes of data, made clear through visualization in an easily understandable format. Given high quality data, processing tools, design and analysis expertise and research funding, science mapping can be expected to expand in application and usefulness. Key challenges include insufficient numbers of experts, lack of sophisticated tools, low literacy in data visualization and absence of design standards.
Pourquoi, pendant que la locomotive de la productivité se mettait en branle aux États-Unis, l’Europe est-elle restée en gare

After fifty years of catching up to the U. S. level of productivity, since 1995 Europe has been falling behind. The growth rate in output per hour over 1995-2003 in Europe was just half that in the United States, and this annual growth shortfall caused the level of European productivity to fall back from 94 percent of the U. S. level to 85 percent. Fully one-fifth of the European catch-up (from 44 to 94 percent) over the previous half-century has been lost over the period since 1995. Apres 50 ans de rattrapage du niveau de productivite des Etats-Unis, l’Europe accumule du retard depuis 1995. En effet, le taux de croissance de la production horaire n’atteignait, sur le Vieux Continent, que la moitie de celui des Etats-Unis en 1995-2003 et cet ecart annuel a ramene le niveau de la productivite europeenne de 94 % du niveau des Etats-Unis a seulement 85 %. Un cinquieme du rattrapage europeen (de 44 % a 94 %) effectue dans le demi-siecle precedent a ete completement perdu depuis 1995.
Real Time Lane Detection in Autonomous Vehicles Using Image Processing

The aim of this research is to detect and analyze the drivable path ahead of the autonomous vehicles by implementing path detection algorithms in MATLAB. This study presents a technique for real time detection of lanes marked on the road that can be used in autonomous vehicles. Since, for safe navigation of autonomous vehicles, detection of drivable path is a key requirement. Painted road markings on rural, urban roads and highways help to detect precisely the road area for the vehicle to move. Lane detection algorithms aim at finding the edges or boundaries of road within which vehicle can move. This target is accomplished by the use of camera set up on the vehicle that tracks road ahead of the vehicle. Lanes are detected through processing of each frame of video by edge detection and Hough transform techniques. This system can be further make compatible with the hardware of the vehicle to take certain actions depending on the detections made. This study presents potential approaches and requirements that are needed for detection of lanes, its algorithm and result.
Easy PP / Easy colon propre, un logiciel d'aide à l'optimisation de la préparation coloscopique

L’informatique se rapproche de l’humain quand elle réussit à transformer « ce qui se compte » en ce qui compte pour nous, c’est-à-dire être d’un réel apport pour améliorer la prise en charge de nos patients. Depuis 20 ans, l’informatique médicale concernait et progressait essentiellement dans la gestion du cabinet et la réalisation de comptes rendus d’endoscopie. Depuis 5 ans, nous connaissons une utilisation plus large avec, d’une part, son bénéfice en matière d’aide à la prise en charge des maladies (les logiciels offrent des check-lists, des aides à la prescription, des rappels de surveillance) mais aussi l’apparition de logiciels permettant d’observer et d’évaluer nos pratiques.

Does a Voice Disorder Exist in Individuals with Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease of the exocrine gland (Gardner, 2007). The disease is characterized by thick secretion in organs (Lorenco, Costa and da Silva Filho, 2014). Chronic coughing can also be seen due to the thick secretions accumulating (Gardner, 2007). The transmembrane regulator gene is responsible for encoding an epithelial chloride channel (Lorenco, Costa and da Silva Filho, 2014). Thick viscous secretions through the respiratory tract and other organs, occur because the channel does not properly transport chloride and sodium to the epithelial membranes (Lorenco, Costa and da Silva Filho, 2014). The secretion in the respiratory system leads to decrease lung function (Lorenco, Costa and da Silva Filho, 2014). Many of the characteristics that are seen in CF are factors that affect voice, for example optimal respiration is required as a power source for phonation. Vocal fold thickness and the excessive mucus that covers them as a result of the disease are known to change vibratory patterns and voice abnormalities. Chronic coughing can also contribute to voice disorders (Gibson and Vertigan, 2009). This study utilizes the Voice-Handicap Index and the Voice-Related Quality of Life, as well as Qualtrics Survey Software to understand the perception of one’s voice in those living with Cystic fibrosis. Research Questions: 1. What are the attitudes of individuals living with Cystic Fibrosis toward their vocal quality of life? 2. What are the attitudes of individuals with Cystic fibrosis related to voice as a handicapping condition?

Éthique environnementale, remédiation écologique et compensations territoriales : entre antinomie et correspondances

La construction ou l’extension d’une infrastructure « impactante » peut justifier l’application negociee (ou non) de mesures de compensation. On en denombre deux types principaux : les compensations ecologiques, qui decoulent de legislations et conditionnent l’obtention des permis de construire et les compensations territoriales (ou socio-environnementales), qui se veulent plus inclusives. Or la legitimite du principe de remediation environnementale est l’une des questions les plus debattues par l’ethique environnementale, car la compensation ecologique sous-tend que l’homme se considere en capacite de recreer a l’identique un milieu qu’il a detruit. La compensation territoriale n’est pas moins contestee, parce qu’elle serait un moyen d’acheter le silence des riverains par l’octroi de mesures economiques. Toutefois le reagencement des compromis compensatoires et l’integration de nouveaux acteurs dans les phases de concertation prealables obligent a re-envisager les principes ethiques sous-jacents. L’approche qui prevaut desormais se veut plus respectueuse des exigences du developpement durable. Le contrat compensatoire prend en compte un systeme territorial dans ses multiples dimensions. L’interaction entre nature et hommes est pensee comme une entreprise cooperative, ou la restauration de la justice concerne aussi bien les riverains humains que non humains. Nonobstant, les questions d’interaction entre differentes echelles et d’accaparement du pouvoir dans le processus decisionnel restent irresolues.
Making Distributed Computation Secure by Construction

This thesis introduces new techniques to build distributed applications that are secure by construction, satisfying strong, end-to-end policies for confidentiality, integrity and availability. The new techniques are designed to solve the problem of how to specify, analyze and enforce end-to-end availability policies in distributed settings, without jeopardizing the enforcement of confidentiality and integrity policies. This thesis also presents a correctness proof for these techniques.

Les cellules stromales multipotentes accélèrent la guérison de plaies cutanées chez les souris irradiées via la sécrétion de la chimiokine SDF-1α

Cancer treatment using ionizing radiation (IR) may lead to significant side effects, like delayed tissue repair and regeneration. The mechanisms mediating these defects remain largely unknown at present, thus limiting the development of therapeutic approaches. Using a wound healing model, we investigate the mechanisms by which IR exposure limits skin regeneration. Our results show that induction of the stromal-derived growth factor 1 (SDF-1 ), a cytokine normally overexpressed in hypoxic tissues, is severely impaired in the wounded skin of irradiated, compared to non-irradiated, mice. This defect is correlated with delayed healing, and is evident for several months following exposure to IR, suggesting permanent impairment of skin repair. Because SDF-1 is secreted mainly by dermal fibroblasts, we evaluated the potential of multipotent stromal cells (MSCs), which secrete high levels of SDF1 , to improve skin regeneration in irradiated mice. Injection of MSCs into the wound margin led to remarkable enhancement of skin healing in mice exposed to IR. The MSC actions were mainly paracrine, as the cells did not migrate away from the injection site or differentiate into keratinocytes. Specific knockdown of SDF-1 expression led to drastically reduced efficiency of MSCs in improving wound closure, indicating that SDF-1 secretion by MSCs is largely responsible for their beneficial action. We also found that one mechanism by which SDF-1 enhances wound closure likely involves increased skin vascularization. Findings presented in this thesis collectively indicate that SDF-1 is an important deregulated cytokine in irradiated wounded skin, and that the decline in tissue
