Placement of I/O servers to improve parallel I/O performance on switch-based clusters

Switch-based clusters -- Network of Workstations/PCs connected by commodity switches, have been an appealing vehicle for high-performance computing. Despite their attractive features, cluster systems still have some limits when compared with traditional massively parallel machines. First, cluster systems usually have limited number of processing nodes, making full utilization of the computing power provided by each processing node a critical issue. Secondly, cluster systems are usually constructed with slower interconnects, making the network speed, not the disk speed, the limiting factor for parallel I/O performance.The notion of part-time I/O is commonly used for I/O in clusters, where a subset of processing nodes become I/O nodes at I/O time and return to computation after finishing the I/O operation. Careful assignment of part-time I/O nodes is the key to overcoming the above two limiting factors. Prior work reported an optimal assignment strategy for cluster systems with shared-media interconnects, based on an optimization that minimizes total amount of remote data transfers in parallel I/O. In this paper, we show that load balance on the I/O nodes, not the total amount of remote data transfers, is the key optimization criteria for assigning part-time I/O nodes for switch-based clusters. We formulate the assignment problem as a weighed bipartite matching with the goal to balance workload on the I/O nodes. We then propose an O(n3over2m(logn + logm)) algorithm to find optimal solution for this problem, where n is the number of compute nodes and m the number of I/O nodes. Experimental results on a 16-node PC cluster and simulation results for larger clusters are reported.
Automatic classification of the telephone‐listening environment in a hearing aid

An algorithm is developed for automatic classification of the telephone‐listening environment in a hearing instrument. The system would enable the hearing aid to automatically change its behavior when it is used for a telephone conversation (e.g., decrease the amplification in the hearing aid, or adapt the feedback suppression algorithm for reflections from the telephone handset). The telephone‐listening environment and a reference listening environment are modeled with discrete hidden Markov models. The reference listening environment contains information about clean speech and a few different types of background noises. The probabilities for the different listening environments are calculated with forward algorithm for each frame of the input sound, and are compared with each other in order to detect the telephone‐listening environment. Preliminary results demonstrate accurate classification of telephone speech by the hidden Markov system. [Work supported by GN ReSound. ]

AIDA: Adaptive application-independent data aggregation in wireless sensor networks

Sensor networks, a novel paradigm in distributed wireless communication technology, have been proposed for various applications including military surveillance and environmental monitoring. These systems deploy heterogeneous collections of sensors capable of observing and reporting on various dynamic properties of their surroundings in a time sensitive manner. Such systems suffer bandwidth, energy, and throughput constraints that limit the quantity of information transferred from end-to-end. These factors coupled with unpredictable traffic patterns and dynamic network topologies make the task of designing optimal protocols for such networks difficult. Mechanisms to perform data-centric aggregation utilizing application-specific knowledge provide a means to augmenting throughput, but have limitations due to their lack of adaptation and reliance on application-specific decisions. We, therefore, propose a novel aggregation scheme that adaptively performs application-independent data aggregation in a time sensitive manner. Our work isolates aggregation decisions into a module that resides between the network and the data-link layer and does not require any modifications to the currently existing MAC and network layer protocols. We take advantage of queuing delay and the broadcast nature of wireless communication to concatenate network units into an aggregate using a novel adaptive feedback scheme to schedule the delivery of this aggregate to the MAC layer for transmission. In our evaluation we show that end-to-end transmission delay is reduced by as much as 80% under heavy traffic loads. Additionally, we show as much as a 50% reduction in transmission energy consumption with an overall reduction in header overhead. Theoretical analysis, simulation, and a test-bed implementation on Berkeley's MICA motes are provided to validate our claims.
Bronchial reactivity in subjects with urticaria.

BACKGROUND Respiratory symptoms (rhinitis, asthma) accompany some skin diseases with a proven immunological or allergic pathogenesis whereas the immunological and allergological findings are sometimes negative in subjects with chronic urticarial skin symptoms and no cause can be found. This paper explores the possibility of airway inflammation in cases of this kind. METHODS Nonspecific bronchostimulation with methacholine was carried out in 12 subjects with a clinical history of urticaria and negative immunological and allergological findings. RESULTS All subjects displayed normal bronchoreactivity (mean PD20 1400 micrograms). The bronchostimulation test (evaluated from the FEV1) was always negative. In the control group the mean PD20 was 720 micrograms. CONCLUSIONS The fact that these eleven subjects did not display bronchial hyperreactivity suggests that monitoring of their respiratory function is not required.
Genome-Wide Analysis of Corynespora cassiicola Leaf Fall Disease Putative Effectors

Corynespora cassiicola is an Ascomycetes fungus with a broad host range and diverse life styles. Mostly known as a necrotrophic plant pathogen, it has also been associated with rare cases of human infection. In the rubber tree, this fungus causes the Corynespora leaf fall (CLF) disease, which increasingly affects natural rubber production in Asia and Africa. It has also been found as an endophyte in South American rubber plantations where no CLF outbreak has yet occurred. The C. cassiicola species is genetically highly diverse, but no clear relationship has been evidenced between phylogenetic lineage and pathogenicity. Cassiicolin, a small glycosylated secreted protein effector, is thought to be involved in the necrotrophic interaction with the rubber tree but some virulent C. cassiicola isolates do not have a cassiicolin gene. This study set out to identify other putative effectors involved in CLF. The genome of a highly virulent C. cassiicola isolate from the rubber tree (CCP) was sequenced and assembled. In silico prediction revealed 2870 putative effectors, comprising CAZymes, lipases, peptidases, secreted proteins and enzymes associated with secondary metabolism. Comparison with the genomes of 44 other fungal species, focusing on effector content, revealed a striking proximity with phylogenetically unrelated species (Colletotrichum acutatum, Colletotrichum gloesporioides, Fusarium oxysporum, nectria hematococca, and Botrosphaeria dothidea) sharing life style plasticity and broad host range. Candidate effectors involved in the compatible interaction with the rubber tree were identified by transcriptomic analysis. Differentially expressed genes included 92 putative effectors, among which cassiicolin and two other secreted singleton proteins. Finally, the genomes of 35 C. cassiicola isolates representing the genetic diversity of the species were sequenced and assembled, and putative effectors identified. At the intraspecific level, effector-based classification was found to be highly consistent with the phylogenomic trees. Identification of lineage-specific effectors is a key step toward understanding C. cassiicola virulence and host specialization mechanisms.

Study on Cytochrome P-450 Dependent Retinoic Acid Metabolism and its Inhibitors as Potential Agents for Cancer Therapy

The relative lack of clinical success with conventional anticancer agents may be due in part to the traditional concept of cancer being a biological state rather than a dynamic process. Redefining cancer as a dynamic disease commencing with carcinogenesis introduces the possibility of chemoprevention. Retinoids offer the promise of a therapeutic option based on differentiation of premalignant as well as malignant cells. Research to date has concentrated on the use of exogenous retinoids in cancer. Although this research continues with new retinoid derivatives, an alternative approach to overcoming the drawbacks associated with exogenous retinoids has been to increase the levels of endogenous retinoic acid (RA) by inhibiting the cytochrome P450- mediated catabolism of RA using a novel class of agents known as retinoic acid metabolism blocking agents (RAMBAs which increase the level of endogenous retinoic acid (RA) within the tumor cells by blocking their metabolism. This approach presents several theoretic advantages. In the present study a wide range of established P-450 inhibitors has been screened to examine their inhibitory activity on all-trans-Retinoic acid (ATRA) metabolism. Forty-one known P450 inhibitors were tested for their inhibitory activity against RA metabolism. Most of them are nitrogen-containing compounds. The results showed that among these compounds only six compounds (N-benzyl-2-phenylethanamine, itraconazole, chlorpromazine, 5-chloro-1,3-benzoxazol-2-amine, proadifen and furazolidone) showed inhibition of RA metabolism which was > 50%. Ketoconazole and liarozole were also screened as standard potent inhibitors in the same system and gave 87.5% and 89% inhibition, respectively. The results indicate that mostly azoles with substituents in positions other than the 1-position on the ring are very weak inhibitors of RA metabolism. The most effective inhibitors (ketoconazole, itraconazole, bifonazole and clotrimazole) are 1-substituted and possess relatively large aromatic groups in the molecule. 1-Substituted imidazoles bind to cytochrome P-450 with a very high affinity but substitution in the other position of the imidazole decreases the binding affinity.
THE SOCIAL CONTEXTS OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN SENTENCING

This paper seeks to determine whether race differences in sentencing are contingent on who is being sentenced and where that sentencing occurs. Using data from Georgia, we find that certain legally-relevant factors and the racial composition of the county condition the influence of race. However, there is no evidence that blacks are punished more harshly than whites in contexts where their criminality may appear more threatening. Indeed, certain white offenders are treated more harshly than their black counterparts. We conclude with a discussion of the importance of both structural and cultural contexts for understanding the relationship between race and sentencing. For over 50 years, observers of the criminal justice system have pondered a troubling question: Is the law color-blind, or, does it contravene the principle of equal treatment and punish persons differently depending on their race? This query is important because it raises fundamental moral, social, and legal issues. For example, both the Fourteenth Amendment and Supreme Court interpretation of the inclusive equal protection clause demonstrate the legal significance of race. Specifically, race is the only status regarded as constitutionally suspect in virtually every instance. Social theories (e.g., conflict or Marxian perspectives) that allege repressive application of criminal law contend that the race of defendants and, in some instances, their victims, affects punishment in a way that betrays constitutional injunctions. However, the results of research on this issue are mixed. Many studies have found little or no evidence of racial discrimination in sentencing, while a number of others have concluded that differences do indeed exist. ' The inability to resolve this issue empirically has compelled researchers to reconceptualize the relationship between race and sentencing. Rather than determine whether racial discrimination exists, researchers have begun to address a more complex question: Precisely where and for which offenders are we likely to find evidence of race differences in sentencing (Gibson, 1978; Miethe and Moore, 1986; Peterson and Hagan, 1984; Pruitt and Wilson, 1983; Unnever and Hembroff, 1986; Zatz, 1984)? Implicit within this question is the assumption that the significance of race is not constant, but rather varies as a function of time and social space (Peterson and Hagan, 1984). The research reported here continues this line of questioning. We ask whether race differences in treatment vary as a function of who is being sentenced and where that sentencing occurs.
Police officers' ability to detect deceit: The benefit of indirect deception detection measures

Purpose. The main aim of the experiment was to examine whether participants would be more accurate at detecting lies while using an indirect measure (i.e. ‘Does the person have to think hard? ’) than while using a direct measure (‘Is the person lying? ’). Method. A total of 39 police officers watched a videotape of a number of truth tellers and liars being interviewed. Participating police officers were randomly allocated to one of two experimental groups. In one condition, participants were asked whether each of the people they saw on the videotape was lying; in the other condition they had to indicate for each person whether that person ‘had to think hard’. Data were analysed in two ways: (1) the extent police officers could recognize lies and truths by using the two detection methods; and (2) behavioural and verbal cues the observers were actually looking for when answering the questions. Results. The results revealed that police officers could distinguish between truths and lies, but only by using the indirect method. Moreover, it was found that only by using the indirect method did they pay attention to the cues that were actual indicators of deceit. Conclusions. The findings suggest that the use of indirect methods might be useful for police officers when they attempt to detect deceit.
Waist Circumference and Cardiometabolic Risk

Obesity is an important risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and coronary heart disease (CHD). Several leading national and international institutions, including the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health, have provided guidelines for classifying weight status based on body mass index (BMI; in kg/m) (1, 2). Data from epidemiologic studies demonstrate a direct correlation between BMI and the risk of medical complications and mortality rate (eg, 3, 4). Men and women who have a BMI 30 are considered obese and are generally at higher risk for adverse health events than are those who are considered overweight (BMI between 25.0 and 29.9) or lean (BMI between 18.5 and 24.9). Therefore, BMI has become the gold standard for identifying patients at increased risk of adiposity-related adverse health outcomes. Body fat distribution is also an important risk factor for obesity-related diseases. Excess abdominal fat (also known as central or upper-body fat) is associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic disease. However, precise measurement of abdominal fat content requires the use of expensive radiological imaging techniques. Therefore, waist circumference (WC) is often used as a surrogate marker of abdominal fat mass, because WC correlates with abdominal fat mass (subcutaneous and intraabdominal) (5) and is associated with cardiometabolic disease risk (6). Men and women who have WCs 40 in (102 cm) and 35 in (88 cm), respectively, are considered to be at increased risk for cardiometabolic disease (7). These cutpoints were derived from a regression curve that identified the WC values associated with a BMI 30 in primarily Caucasian men and women living in north Glasgow, Scotland (8). An expert panel, organized by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), has recommended that WC be measured as part of the initial assessment and be used to monitor the efficacy of weight-loss therapy in overweight and obese patients who have a BMI 35 (7). However, measurement of WC has not been widely adopted in clinical practice, and the anatomical, metabolic, and clinical implications of WC data can be confusing. Therefore, Shaping America’s Health: Association for Weight Management and Obesity Prevention; NAASO, The Obesity Society; and the American Diabetes Association convened a panel, composed of members with expertise in obesity management, obesity-related epidemiology, adipose tissue metabolic pathophysiology, statistics, and nutrition science, to review the published scientific literature and hear presentations from other experts in these fields. The Consensus Panel met
