Top- $k$  Subgraph Query Based on Frequent Structure in Large-Scale Dynamic Graphs

Frequent structures have emerged as resolving the structural pattern mining issues, such as chemistry, Web applications, and other related problems. Top-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${k}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> subgraph query as an important technology of graph search is widely used in emerging fields. Different from the traditional subgraph query, the query requirement studied in this paper has two unique properties: 1) data graphs change dynamically over time, including vertices/edges insert, delete, and frequent labels update and 2) query with limits of labels and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${k}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>. Existing graph index and query techniques rarely considered these. Therefore, this paper proposes a method called frequent subgraph dynamic Top-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${k}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> query with label value constraint to address both the challenges. We propose a two-level index with the frequent structure mapping and label value aggregation, which locates the query structure quickly, then prunes, and filters according to the constraint to narrow search range and improve query efficiency. The method uses a two-level index to filter the initial result and combines the dynamic changes of graphs to modify query results. In addition, it also proposed an incremental dynamic maintenance strategy over the proposed index, which only updated the partial contents to avoid the high cost caused by global update. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed Top-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${k}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> query method outperforms the baseline approaches up to 37%.
DSmT based Detection Model of the Ultrasonic Sensor for Estimating Indoor Environment Contour

In view of the uncertainty of ranging and direction angle in the ultrasonic sensor measurement, an ultrasonic distance detection model based on uncertainty region is first of all proposed through analyzing the working principle of the ultrasonic sensor. Moreover, the DSmT method is adopted to fuse the uncertainty data measured by using the ultrasonic sensor. Next, the Hough Transform and the least-square method are combined to estimate environmental contour. Finally, an indoor environment is measured and built by using the ultrasonic sensor hardware system for experimental verification. The environmental contour obtained in the experimental results is consistent with the real environment, which illustrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. This proposed method has certain reference value for the research of the environmental mapping and positioning of the mobile robot.
Nonlinear Reference Tracking: An Economic Model Predictive Control Perspective

In this paper, we study the system theoretic properties of a reference tracking model predictive control (MPC) scheme for general reference trajectories and nonlinear discrete-time systems subject to input and state constraints. Contrary to other existing theoretical results for reference tracking MPC, we do not modify the optimization problem with artificial references or terminal ingredients. Instead, we consider a simple, intuitive implementation and derive theoretical guarantees under a stabilizability condition on the system and suitable conditions on the reference trajectory. We provide sufficient conditions for exponential reference tracking for reachable reference trajectories. In addition, we study unreachable reference trajectories and derive sufficient conditions to ensure practical stability of the unknown optimal reachable reference trajectory. For both cases, we characterize the region of attraction. The results build on the notion of incremental stabilizability, strict dissipativity, and results in (economic) MPC without terminal constraints.
Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients Enhance Imagined Speech Decoding Accuracy from EEG

Imagined speech has recently become an important neuro-paradigm in the field of brain-computer interface (BCI) research. Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings during imagined speech production are difficult to decode accurately, due to factors such as weak neural correlates and spatial specificity, and signal noise during the recording process. In this study, a dataset of imagined speech recordings obtained during production of eleven different units of imagined speech is used to investigate the relative effects of different features on classification accuracy. Three distinct feature-sets are computed from the data: a linear feature-set, a non-linear feature-set, and a feature-set comprised only of mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC). Each feature-set is used to train a decision tree classifier and a Support Vector Machine classifier. The results indicate that the use of MFCC features provides greater discrimination of imagined speech EEG recordings in comparison with the other features evaluated, and that phonological differences between imagined words can serve as an aid to classification.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PERIOSTEUM AND THE ENDOSTEUM IN THE REPAIR OF TRANSPLANTED BONE

Almost two hundred years have elapsed since the beginning of the debate over the importance of the periosteum in bone growth, regeneration and repair; and in spite of the vast amount of experimental and clinical evidence submitted by the adherents of the two views, namely, the one that the periosteum is an osteogenic membrane, and the other that it is merely an inert limiting membrane, there exists today the same two factions, as in the early part of the eighteenth century. In a most interesting review of this subject, Keith 1 presents many important facts connected with the early study of bone growth. He shows how Belchier, 2 in 1736, after investigating the chance observation of a calico printer who had found that the bones of his madderfed pigs were stained red, discovered that only new bone took the red stain. Duhamel, 3 in 1739, utilizing the important discovery of
AB0672 18f-fdg whole body pet/ct as a diagnostic test for polymyalgia rheumatica in patients with normal inflammatory markers

Background Despite abnormal C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) being required in the 2012 EULAR/ACR classification criteria, 7%–20% of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) patients possess normal inflammatory markers at diagnosis.1 A characteristic pattern of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake is seen on whole body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in PMR, hence this imaging modality may be a useful diagnostic test in this clinical scenario. Objectives To report the utility of whole body PET/CT for diagnosing PMR in patients with normal inflammatory markers and compare the clinical and radiologic characteristics of this subgroup with patients from the Melbourne Predictors of Relapse in PMR (MPR-PMR) study. Methods Patients presenting with clinical features of PMR according to the 2012 EULAR/ACR classification criteria but normal CRP and ESR underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT as part of their diagnostic work-up. A whole body scan from skull vertex to feet (including dedicated hand views) was performed using the Phillips T/F machine prior to prednisolone commencement. Qualitative and semi-quantitative (standardised uptake value maximum [SUVmax]) scoring of abnormal 18F-FDG uptake was undertaken. Newly diagnosed and untreated PMR patients who underwent the same 18F-FDG PET/CT protocol as part of the MPR-PMR study were used as the comparator group. Statistical analysis was conducted using Stata 13.1 (StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA). Results Three patients with normal inflammatory markers (Median CRP 1 [0.9–2], median ESR 61 – 7) underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT. Mean age was 60.15±7.55 years, two patients (66.67%) were male and all were Caucasian. Shoulder and hip pain was present in all cases, but only one patient reported peripheral joint involvement. Median early morning stiffness (EMS) was 30 min.15 – 60 On whole body PET/CT, characteristic 18F-FDG uptake was visualised in each patient at the shoulder capsule, trochanteric bursae and adjacent to the ischial tuberosities, with hip capsule involvement similarly present in 2/3. When compared with 35 patients from the MPR-PMR study, there were no statistically significant differences in the clinical characteristics nor the distribution or intensity of abnormal 18F-FDG uptake between the two populations. Conclusions In patients with suggestive clinical features but normal inflammatory markers, whole body PET/CT may be utilised to confirm a diagnosis of PMR.

Avaliação do desempenho sexual após cirurgias corretivas de genitália ambígua Assessment of sexual performance after corrective surgery of ambiguous genitalia

This study evaluated the sexual performance of patients with genital ambiguity that had been submitted to corrective genital surgery. It was done a survey among the patients with genital ambiguity, undergone surgical correction, now aged 16 years old or older and who had already initiated a sex life of a university clinic of intersexuality. Later, it was applied the Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS). Twenty patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria: age older than or equal to 15 years old and submitted to surgical correction were selected. Of those, only four patients had begun their sex life. Several problems relating to sexuality were identified: Low frequency of relations, inappropriate sexual communication, sexual dissatisfaction, and sexual avoidance, lack of expression of sensuality, Vaginism and anorgasmia. Among those difficulties, the "low frequency of relations" has been detected in all patients. It was detected that sexual function is altered in patients undergoing corrective genital surgery. However, we can not say whether this is due to the basic pathology or if it is a sole consequence of the surgical correction. This survey asks whether there is a negative effect resulting from corrective surgery of the genitalia, no sexual future performance of these patients. It questions also what the most propitious time to perform the surgery is: if in early childhood or during adolescence.
RESHAPING COMMUNICATION DESIGN TOOLS

During the last thirty years the level of interest in Complexity Science has been constantly increasing. Combining the opportunity offered by the findings of the Complexity Science with the framework of the multi-disciplinary debate on the meaning and use of diagrams, we propose a design methodology to help designers support their interventions in complex environments. The structural features analysis of Complex Systems has been our key point to outline this methodology to offer designers a new mindfulness in the use of design tools. This methodology is based on five phases: analysing, representing, pinpointing, timing and telling. It provides a theoretical framework that incorporates many tools suggesting a different use of them with a special attention to improve the designer's consciousness of the system he is designing in. When design is addressing complexity, diagrams could become generative tools that can be used to produce metadata relevant to the design process.
Discussion-Based Online Teaching to Enhance Student Learning: Theory, Practice and Assessment

The new edition of what is now considered a classic on online learning has been expanded by about a third to reflect new opportunities offered by social media, new insights and ideas derived from the author s teaching in the eight years since she wrote the first edition, as well as from extensive research in the latest literature. In particular, Tisha Bender investigates whether the existing paradigm of teaching and learning has been changed, not so much because of the advent of the Internet, but because of the potential divide between the expectations and practices of students who are digital natives of the digital revolution, and those of their teachers who are mostly digital immigrants . She addresses the question: do we need to change the way we teach in order to reach and engage digital natives fruitfully and enjoyably in their education.This accessible and comprehensive book offers an engaging and practical approach to online teaching that is rooted in the author's experience and enthusiasm for creating a virtual environment that engages students and fosters their deep learning. This is a book for all educators and administrators in higher education, in any discipline, engaged in, or contemplating offering, online classes that involve discussion or collaborative learning. It is relevant both to faculty teaching a hybrid and face-to-face classes, and courses conducted entirely online. "
School Violence and Student Achievement in Reading and Mathematics Among Eighth Graders

This study analyzed base-year student data files from the 1988 National Education Longitudinal Study (NELS:88) cross-sectionally to identify relationships between school violence and student achievement in reading and mathematics. The analysis identified student behavior variables related to three measures of school violence: (1) personal behavior, such as being sent to the office for misbehaving, parents being warned about behavior, or fighting with other students; (2) victimization, whether having something stolen, receiving a drug offer, receiving threats or harm; and (3) perception of violence indicated by student responses to how they perceived violence problems in their school. Background variables included in the analyses were sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status quartile, school type (public, Catholic, other religious private, nonreligious private), and school community location (urban, suburban, and rural) . Associations of school violence measures plus student background characteristics on student achievement show that when the incidence of negative personal behavior increases, there is a negative effect on achievement. Students experiencing victimization and students' perceptions of violence in their schools show lower levels of effect on achievement. Implications for school practices and suggestions for future research are discussed. Three appendixes contain summaries of school violence reports, a description of the NELS:88, and the NELS:88 eighth grade questionnaire. (Contains 14 tables and 138 references.)

Practical overview of a Xen covert channel

Covert channels have been known since a long time and under various forms. Methods used by designers to exchange information with discretion depend mainly on their creativity. These streams of data are so stealthy that they can be easily used by some dishonest persons or malwares. In an (supposed) other world, the virtualization of operating systems has brought a higher flexibility in the deployment of server farms and shared hosting. It also brings hopes concerning security through partitioning. These two subjects are not so obviously linked, but for each form of new technologie we need to think about past errors to be able to bypass them before they come up. The designer may not know all threats, and new exploitation techniques can appear, more or less planned. In this context, this article explains technologies used by the Xen paravirtualizer about memory management and virtual guests. Thereafter, it explains how to exploit this mechanism to reach a new method of covert channel for virtual machines. Finally, experimental results show that the proof of concept can stealthily transfer data between virtual machines.
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and metabolic surgery in Asia

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, as well as, in Asia. The incidence of NAFLD has been reported to range from 65% to 95% in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Spectrum of NAFLD ranges from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to fibrosis and cirrhosis. Liver biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis of NAFLD. Other investigations including imaging of abdomen and liver function tests (LFTs) are not diagnostic per se but play a role in management. Treatment strategies include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery has shown promising results worldwide as well as in Asian patients. Asian literature shows that there is significant improvement in NAFLD after both restrictive and mal-absorptive procedures. Reversal of all features of NAFLD, NASH and fibrosis are reported after bariatric surgery. In conclusion, improvement of obesity associated NAFLD after bariatric surgery is well documented. Both restrictive as well as malabsorptive procedures are effective but NAFLD per se is not an indication for surgery.
Towards a multi-level model of parenting intervention

This chapter outlines the conceptual and empirical basis for the development of a multi-level approach to parent training and family intervention, as an integral component of programmes designed to prevent and treat behavioural and emotional problems in children and adolescents. Specifically, we argue for the value of developing a multilevel, preventively oriented, population health approach to parent education. We have deliberately restricted our exploration of the parenting literature and have constrained our attention to the models of parenting that have the strongest evidence base, namely behaviourally oriented family interventions that are based on social learning models. We begin by discussing the historical context within which these family interventions developed, review the evidence supporting their efficacy and effectiveness, and discuss possible implications for policy-makers, service providers and consumers. Finally, we identify some challenges for future research.
Employment status and occupational care planning for people using mental health services

AIMS AND METHOD The aim of the study was to identify the employment rates of people using local mental health services and examine any evidence in care plans for vocational or occupational interventions. We investigated case notes retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 297 case notes were examined: 88% of the patients were unemployed, but there was evidence of documentation relating to vocational needs in only 18% of out-patients; 8% in patients of community mental health teams; and 39% in acute wards; 8% of patients were engaged in work schemes; 10% of patients were in education; and 9% were engaged in vocational interventions with their care coordinator; the latter was less likely if the patient was from a Black or minority ethnic group (OR=2.44, 95% CI 0.18-1.05). CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Despite high rates of unemployment, patients with psychiatric disorders are not referred for vocational interventions. Growing professional awareness of vocational possibilities for patients with severe mental illness should mean that many patients could return to competitive employment and return to mainstream society.
Ubiquitous Mobile Real Time Visual Translator Using Augmented Reality for Bahasa Language

 Abstract—Mobile technology have rapidly advanced over the years, successful researches of augmented reality on mobile phones under the different mobile platforms have made it possible to implement augmented reality technology on mobiles. Now the possibility of combining real time visual with augmented reality seems to be a success. This paper is simply to emphasize on combining real time visual with augmented reality technology on mobiles for education purpose. The research is based on how the implementation of real time visual translator on augmented reality mobile applications can help people in understanding/translating and give meanings to some writings displayed around them ubiquitously.  possible new kind of applications that manipulate the person's surrounding perspective. AR systems combine virtual information into a person's physical environment so that he or she will observe that information as existing in their surroundings. Mobile augmented reality systems (MARS) provide this service without limiting the individual's location to a specially equipped area. Augmented Reality (AR) is currently being used in disciplines of computer science (visualization, robotics, nanotechnology), engineering, applied psychology, education, environmental design, medicine, engineering, tourism, and archaeology. The use of mobile phone is the perfect liberation medium for learning in near future. The concept of augmented reality seems to be succefully implemented on mobiles and by combining Mobile Augmented reality, real time rendering and ubiquitous; the idea is to develop a real time translator that will translate Bahasa language to English language and give meanings of the words translated, anywhere to any environment whenever desired (ubiquitous). This application is mostly based on education that is providing or diverting knowledge to people who actually need it (4), (5).
