Determination of Glucose Concentration in Anaerobic Acidification Cultures by Portable Glucose Monitoring System
Authors: Darwin
Published: February 2019

In mixed microbial fermentation, sugar concentration should be monitored regularly in order to evaluate the effectiveness of fermentation process. Anaerobic acidification fermentation is the process involving microbes to convert the soluble carbohydrate (e.g. glucose) derived from the hydrolysis of insoluble carbohydrates (e.g. starch). The determination of glucose during the fermentation is essential in order to evaluate the mass balance of electron transfer from the oxidation of glucose to the fermentation end-products (e.g. organic acids and alcohols). The fast and practical measurements of glucose concentration in the fermentation broth are highly required to evaluate and ensure the stability of fermentation process. The results showed that once glucose as a soluble sugar is available in the fermentation broth, it was accurately measured by GlucoDr blood glucose biosensor. The standard curve of glucose solution showed the linear relationship between glucometer reading and glucose concentration in which the coefficient determination obtained was at about 0.99. This indicated that glucose analysis with using GlucoDr blood glucose biosensor was accurate and reproducible.

Authors: Tatipamula Vinay Bharadwaj , Vedula Girija Sastry , Sastry A.V.S.
Published: February 2019

The chemical examination of acetone extract of Dirinaria consimilis resulted in isolation of six depsides of which two novel metabolites namely antarvediside A (1) and antarvediside B (2) and four known metabolites i.e. sekikaic acid (3), atranorin (4), divaricatic acid (5) and 2’-O-methyl divaricatic acid (6). From the pharmacological screening of the isolates (1-6), it was found that 1 and 2 exhibited better inhibition of ABTS and superoxide free radicals than that of the standard and compound 4 showed significant inhibition of protein denaturation with IC50 value of 390 mg/mL with respect to indomethacin with 110 mg/mL. From the SRB assay results, the better IC50 values was determined by compound 2 of 10.5, 11.50 and 12.50 μg/mL on HeLa, MCF-7 and FADU cancer cell lines, respectively. Thus, the outcomes revealed that the D. consimilis is a new source to treat free radicals, inflammation and cancer.

Authors: Sharma Umesh Chandra , Chandra Abhishek Kumar , Sachan Sadhana
Published: February 2019

Vegetable oils lack acceptable thermo-oxidative stability due to the presence of tertiary β-hydrogen in glycerol backbone of triglyceride molecule. Chemical modification methods may significantly improve the thermo-oxidative stability of vegetable oils derived biolubricants without hindering their environmentally benign characteristics. This study was aimed at evaluation of thermo-oxidative stability of non-edible karanja oil derived biolubricant base oil. The biolubricant karanja oil trimethylolpropane ester (KOTMPE) was synthesized by conventional two step transesterification process. Thermal stability of synthesized product was assessed by thermogravimetric analysis in non-isothermal mode under nitrogen atmosphere, whereas the oxidation stability was analyzed using Rancimat method. Kinetics of thermal degradation of biolubricant was also investigated by thermogravimetric analysis to obtain order of thermal degradation, activation energy and the frequency factor. The results revealed excellent thermo-oxidative stability for synthesized product at high temperatures with ample scope for further improvement by blending with appropriate additives as demanded by specific applications.
Investigations on Natural Surfactant obtained from Soap-Nuts through Spectrophotometric Interactions with Congo Red and Comparison with Commercial Surfactants
Authors: Reddy M.C. Somasekhara , Jahan S.M. Sarvar , Sridevi K. , Reddy G.V. Subba
Published: February 2019

A natural surfactant (NS) of plant-base was obtained from the fruit pericarp of soapnuts by using a simple and economical method. The interaction of this natural surfactant with direct dye, anionic dye, Congo red (CR) was studied spectrophotometrically in sub-micellar and micelle concentration range in aqueous solution. These interactions (CR-NS) were compared with that of CR-CTAB (cationic surfactant-cetyl trimethylammonium bromide, CTAB), CR-SDS (anionic surfactant-sodium dodecyl sulphate, SDS) and CR-TX 100 (neutral surfactant - Triton X-100, TX 100) and were useful to understand the nature of natural surfactant. The mechanism of formation of complex due to interactions between Congo red and natural surfactant was suggested. This spectrophotometric method was used for the determination of critical micelle concentration (CMC), at which the formation of micelles was started. The CMC values obtained spectrophotometrically for the natural surfactant was coincided with the experimental value available in the literature. A definite change in the absorbance maxima of Congo red in the presence of natural surfactant (micelles of natural surfactant) was also observed. The change in maxima was also interpreted in terms of pH and CMC. The equilibrium constant of interaction between Congo red and natural surfactant was calculated on the theoretical model. The stability of the complexes of Congo red with different surfactants like CTAB, SDS, TX 100 and natural surfactant may be written in increasing order as: CR-TX 100 > CR-CTAB > CR-NS > CR-SDS. The biodegradable, non-toxic, inexpensive, environmental friendly, renewable natural surfactant was suggested in place of synthetic surfactants.

La crítica de Illich a las sociedades industriales contemporáneas involucra, entre otras cosas, una nueva concepción de la elección o evaluación de tecnologías basada en la noción filosófica de “convivencialidad”. El propósito de este trabajo es reconstuir esta concepción, cuyos rasgos más salientes son el pluralismo radical, el constructivismo tecnológico y el humanismo, esto es,la idea de que la vara más adecuada para medir los efectos reales o potenciales del desarrollo de tecnologías es la preservación de la autonomía humana.
Paul Ricoeur: o el reconocimiento como experiencia de donación mutua
Authors: Rebok María Gabriela
Published: February 2019

En este artículo se aborda la importancia del reconocimiento mutuo en la filosofía socio-política contemporánea, desde la perspectiva de Ricoeur, y se marca la recepción, pero también la diferencia, respecto de las propuestas de Hegel y su actualización en Honneth. Destacamos que el aporte peculiar de Ricoeur consiste en su énfasis, puesto tanto en el lado activo como en el pasivo del reconocimiento, en un camino que atiende sobre todo a las huellas del don y su agradecimiento, como también a la centralidad del recibir. El nervio es una cierta "generosidad del deseo", su carácter festivo-ceremonial y simbólico, que culmina en estadosdepaz y ágape. El reconocimiento así posibilitado en un régimen de sobreabundancia se revela como fundadorderelación.

Authors: Garrido-Maturano Ángel E.
Published: February 2019

El artículo reconstruye las nociones de origen y estructura en el pensamiento de H. Rombach y analiza la significación ontológica y el riesgo antropológico del fenómeno del origen. Primeramente, el análisis indica por qué el origen significa el modo ontológico-trascendental primordial de génesis del ser y resulta irreductible a y presupuesto por las nociones de "fundamento", "causa eficiente" o "inicio".  Luego elucida la significación estético-ontológica propia del modo de originar del origen.  Finalmente explicita el intento de la voluntad humana de querer convertir el origen en su producto como el riesgo principal que afrontan los procesos de génesis por origen.
Habilidades anómalas. Una defensa de la epistemología anti-suerte
Authors: Wajnerman Paz Abel
Published: February 2019

Pritchard sostiene que la condición de habilidad y la condición de seguridad le imponen demandas independientes al conocimiento, i.e., que la satisfacción de una no implica la satisfacción de la otra y que, por lo tanto, ninguna de ellas es suficiente por sí misma para ofrecer una caracterización adecuada de esta noción. Argumento, por el contrario, que no hay buenas razones para pensar que la condición de seguridad es insuficiente. Empleando algunos conceptos de Greco y Pritchard y Kallestrup para caracterizar a las habilidades cognitivas y el caso del mentiroso consistente de Lackey, argumento que TEMP, el caso clave de Pritchard para mostrar que puede haber seguridad sin habilidad, no funciona porque el proceso cognitivo relevante constituye una realización legítima, aunque anómala, de una habilidad.
Permitido decir “para”: crítica de la perspectiva tradicional frente al problema de la teleología en la enseñanza de la biología
Authors: González Galli Leonardo Martín
Published: February 2019

En este trabajo reseña el problema de las concepciones teleológicas en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la biología evolutiva. Caracterizamos lo que denominamos la “perspectiva tradicional” en relación con este problema y cuestionamos los supuestos epistemológicos y psicológico-didácticos en que se basa. Contra dicha perspectiva tradicional, basada en el objetivo de eliminación del razonamiento teleológico y la censura de sus expresiones, ofrecemos una perspectiva alternativa basada en el desarrollo, por parte de los estudiantes, de la capacidad de regular consciente e intencionalmente el recurso a los razonamientos y expresiones teleológicas. Ofrecemos también algunos lineamientos para el diseño de actividades educativas concretas en relación con dicho objetivo.

Non-verbal communication (NVC) is very common in social interactions, and the use of NVC is specified by social conventions. There are some universal nonverbal signals used by people across cultures such as laughing and crying, but there also some nonverbal acts which are culturally specific. This paper aims to discuss NVC in Javanese and Australian cultures. The data used in this study were taken from Javanese people living in Central Java and Australian people in Canberra. The respondents were chosen randomly. The results show that Australians and Javanese have similarities and differences in their types of nonverbal communication as handshakes, waving, kissing, hand holding, hugging and hand clapping. The styles of communication of these expressive movements are directly linked to cultural or social values within the two separate cultures

Authors: Purwono Nugroho , Aprianto Arif
Published: February 2019

This research analyse the pattern of rice field productivity. It was identified from the characteristics of the land component based on physiographic condition through landscape perspective. Identification of productivity pattern has been done partially based on each typology of land components into several segment of the Citarum watershed, West Java Province, Indonesia. Spatial autocorrelation through GIS tool was used as the method in this research. By using moran’s I (index) measurement, degree of dependency of these variables are generated to find the spatial pattern. The result of this study is separated the value of productivity based on segments of watershed, the values of the average of productivity are upstream (6.39 ton/Ha), middle stream (6.52 ton/Ha), and downstream (7.17 ton/Ha), sequentially. The highest productivity is in the downstream area (9.83 ton/Ha) and the lowest is in the upstream area (4.55 ton/Ha). In accordance with physiographic typology showed the rice field in the middle stream has more variation than the upstream or teh downstream area. The highest of average rice field productivity is on alluvial plain. Overall, the rice field productivity on the hills is higher rather that other types of landform the stuctural formation is more dominant, in addition. The spatial pattern shows the distribution of rice field  productivity most likely to clustered based on the similarity of physiographic type. Statistically, it has p-value <0.01 and z-score >2.58 (239.26) correspond to Spatial Autocorrelation (Moron’s I). This positive value means a less than 1% likelihood that this clustered pattern could be result of random choice, which the rice field productivity value has similar pattern to others. Thus, it can be generated that the pattern of rice field productivity has a very close relation with the physical characteristics which associated of each typology of land components.
RESTORASI KENMU (1333-1336): EKSPERIMEN POLITIK KAISAR GO-DAIGO
Authors: Lestari Eka Marthanty Indah
Published: February 2019

This article describes the Kenmu Restoration and several important historical events that happened around that time. Kenmu Restoration or Kenmu no Shinmei is a historic period in Japan from 1333 to 1336. This restoration marks 3 year period between the fall of Kamakura Bakufu and the rise of Ashikaga Bakufu. The essence of Kenmu Restoration as the political experiment by Emperor Go-Daigo is to give the same opportunity for nobleman and army to run the government. However, this idea cannot be realized as there was conflict between nobleman and army. The nobleman assumed that the political power must be returned to the Emperor and nobleman has right to control the government. On the contrary, army who fought to return the authority of Emperor also demanded the compensation, position in the government. Therefore, Kenmu Restoration at last failed. Ashikaga Takauji, the follower of Emperor Go-Daigo, was angry when the Emperor refused to appoint him as Shogun. As the result, Ashikaga Takauji sent his troops to destroy Emperor Go-Daigo. It indicates the rise of Ashikaga Bakufu.

Authors: Kristiana Ika Febrian , Fajrianthi Fajrianthi , Purwono Urip
Published: February 2019

Using a scale in different cultural contexts requires an adaptation process for the sake of fair comparison between obtained scores. The 9-item version of Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) has been adapted in various countries but Indonesia. This study aimed to make a scale adaptation of the UWES-9 in Indonesia. A hundred teachers of inclusive schools in Solo, Semarang, Surabaya, and Malang were involved as participants. Data were collected both online and paper-based. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Rasch test were used to analyze the data. Result showed that the UWES-9 had high values of: overall person and item interaction (α= .85); person reliability (= .71); and item reliability (= .95). The person measure value (=1.65 logit) and separation value 1.57 indicated two respondent groups based on the degree of work engagement. The item 5 had outfit value MNSQ > 14, meaning that it was unfit. Some items were found biased toward teaching duration in inclusive school. Internal structure analysis using CFA showed that UWES-9 is a unidimensional instrument with established goodness of fit value (RMSEA = .049; CFI, NFI, & GFI > .95). To conclude, UWES-9 has adequate psychometric properties, so it can be used for research or assessment.

Published: February 2019

Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) is the latest personality inventory that measures pathological personality based on DSM-5 model. As a clinical instrument, validity testing is an essential procedure to be achieved, so the clinicians could ascertain the accuracy of the test results. This study aims to measure the convergent validity of Indonesian Version of PID-5. The relationship between PID-5 domains and Personality Psychopathology Five-revised (PSY-5-r) subscales from Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) was being measured in this study. All participants were university students (n = 72, M = 22.24 years old, SD = 6.00, males 45.8% and females 54.2%). The PID-5 and MMPI-2-RF which have been adapted into Bahasa Indonesia was administered to all participants. Pearson correlation was used to measure the relationship between each domain from PID-5 (i.e. Negative Affectivity, Antagonism, Detachment, Disinhibition, and Psychoticism) with PSY-5-r subscales (i.e. Negative Emotionality, Aggressiveness, Introversion, Disconstraint, and Psychoticism). Most of the PID-5 domain showed the highest correlation with its conceptually expected PSY-5-r counterpart (r = .31 - .75; Mdnr = .54; p < .01, two tails), except for Disinhibition domain, which showed higher correlation with Negative Emotionality (r = .59) than Disconstraint (r = .31). This slight variation of correlation pattern notwithstanding, the overall result still suffices to confirm a pattern of convergence betw­een PID-5 domains and PSY-5-r subscales.

Authors: Anggrahita Hayuning , Guswandi Guswandi
Published: February 2019

Urbanization in Jakarta encourages the conversion of agricultural land and other green open spaces into built-up areas. Agriculture sector is being marginalized and its contribution is only 0.1% of the economy of Jakarta. Previous studies showed that regardless of its fewer contribution, Jakarta's agriculture persistence takes place due to single to multiple functional transformations especially from staple food production to diverse functions such as environmental, cultural, property rights protection functions, etc. This study aims to identify agricultural multi-functionality in Jakarta. This research uses descriptive quantitative analysis method which is deepened with qualitative analysis through the interview and scientific photography technique to represent physical and social reality in the field. The results indicate that Jakarta’s agriculture is scattered due to urbanization pressure. In addition, Jakarta's agriculture is transformed through the creation of new urban values which demonstrate the ability of urban agriculture to survive.

Published: February 2019

Known as a developed and modern country, Japan still preserves traditions imerged and developed since centuries ago. These unique traditions still exist and colour the life of modern Japanese society. One of these traditions that possesed the uniqueness is the life of Geisha . Up till now the life of Geisha is a misterious one and many Japanese people even do not want to know.            People outside Japan who do not understand the life of Geisha  and Japanese culture consider that Geisha  is like a whore. This idea is not entirely true although the profession of a Geisha  and a whore is to intertain  the guests who hire them. The difference between a Geisha  and a whore lies in their training : Geisha should  undergo special and phase by phase training. Unlike a whore that depends on her physical beauty and ability to make love, a Geisha not only posseses beautiful physic but she has to posses ability in some tradition ceremonies, conduct and  wide general knowledge. Bad impression toward a Geisha  is when she did mizuage. Mizuage is to give her virginity to a man that pays her highly.            In doing her duty a Geisha does not always give sexual service, but principally she intertain guests by singing, playing musical instrument, dancing, serving tea (cha-no-yu) and chatting with partner. A Geisha gives sexual service only to danna. Pricipally a Geisha can not be called a whore. Keywords : Geisha,Japanese tradition, bad image

Critical Media Literacy for Elementary Students in an After-School Programme
Authors: Wiseman Angela M. , Wrenn Melissa
Published: February 2019

As students’ uses and experiences with literacy are changing due to technological innovations, particularly in their out-of-school contexts, it is important to consider how media literacy is a social practice, particularly one where students are engaging socially, culturally, and politically. This is particularly relevant to the way that messages are conveyed through popular media such as commercials, video games, and television programmes. Th e purpose of this paper is to explore what happens when students use a critical media literacy to respond to mass media texts and images. The primary question this research attempts to answer is: What happens when students use a critical media literacy approach to discuss and interpret print and visual media images in an after-school setting? We used qualitative research methods to collect data and thematic analysis to analyse data. Findings reflect how students discussed identity, bullying and aggression, socioeconomic status, materialism and consumerism.
TOUCHSTONE, WIREPULLER AND TRANSITION: SINO-KOREAN BOOK-DIPLOMACY AND POLITICAL FIGHTS IN 1597-1599
Authors: HUANG Xiu Zhi
Published: February 2019

Embodying an optimistic diplomatic mind in early Joseon Dynasty, haidongzhuguoji written by Shin Suk-ju became a main evidence of Chinese official Ding Yingtai impeaching Joseon in the Jeongyu War occurring in 1597 because of Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s second invasion. Ding Yingtai’s impeachment involved Joseon’s king, Chinese generals in Joseon and officials in Beijing in a political maelstrom, which aroused strong reactions of Joseon king and ministers. In this situation, Joseon’s diplomatic corps were dispatched to Beijing in order to justify and defend. They made preparations and took action zealously, winning the final victory and achieving the goal consequently. However, this book-diplomacy surpassed the problem of justifying a book, thus there were some complicated and subtle meanings in the process. Firstly, This book-diplomacy provided a touchstone of Sino-Korean relationship in Ming Dynasty, explaining the political essence of the relationship. Secondly, This diplomacy resulted from Ming Dynasty’s political fights and calmed down also because of Ming Dynasty’s political fights, intensively showing both Sino-Korean interdependent political fights and each liege fights. Thirdly, The book-diplomacy became an important turning point of the transformation of Joseon’s foreign concept, and Joseon’s “Smaller China” mind began to emphasize excluding barbarians, which made an idealistic preparation for the rising “Smaller China” mind in Qing Dynasty.

A keen interest in the culture and economic development of the Republic of Korea has resulted in establishing business relations between Korea and various countries all around the world. The Korean War (1950-1953) is said to be the catalyst for Korean Studies, since it has generated a considerable interest in Korean history, language and culture. Yet, when the Korean Language Education (henceforward KLE) is being referred to, usually the years when the boom for "everything that is Korean” started, which could be attributed to the successfully organized Summer Olympics in 1988 and co-organized Asian World Cup in 2002, are being mentioned. This was when the world saw a different side of Korea. However, also thanks to the enormous popularity of Hallyu and the support of the South Korean Government given to initiatives, which among others, popularize the Korean language, the interest in various aspects of Korean culture as well as the language itself, has become higher than ever before. Since the turn of the 21st century, South Korea is perceived as one of the world's leading exporters of culture and tourism, and Hangeul became one of the exported goods.The aim of this research is to analyze the situation of KLE in the era of globalization, which along with the spread of lingua franca, among them English, is endangering the language variety of the world. In order to do so, several significant dates and initiatives showing how Korean scholars and the Government have influenced and shaped the language policy and thus have contributed to the popularization of the language all around the world will also be referred to. Government sponsored institutions providing Korean language classes, as well as books and other teaching materials, will be discussed and classified. The article will also try to answer the question concerning the future of the KLE.
CROSS-CULTURAL LITERATURE AND CULTURAL REPRODUCTION: THE CASE OF THE KOREAN AUTOBIOGRAPHY HANJUNGNOK
Authors: PARK Kyu Hyun
Published: February 2019

This paper is an investigation how cultural perception could be embedded in language and literature and how this helps different analyses on a same historical event. The article includes the comparison between a work of classical Korean literature, Hanjungnok (한중록), and an English-translated version of it, The Memoirs of Lady Hyekyŏng, translated by Kim-Haboush, and a work of a British novel, The Red Queen, written by Margaret Drabble. The comparison is to explore the language use regarding a perception of family relations and of gender in each version of writing. This paper concludes that authors’ and audience’s language and cultural background would influence on perceiving and analysing literature and its context so that each interpretation could be differentiated, even with the actual historical event.
THE THEORY ON THE STATE OF THE CHOSŎN RULING ELITES: HOW DID THEY PERCEIVE THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND THE STATE?
Authors: LEE Min Jung
Published: February 2019

This paper argues that it is necessary to analyze the identity of the ruling elite in the Chosŏn Dynasty through the nobles munbŏl 문벌(門閥) using the ideological methodology. The identity of the ruling elite in the Joseon Dynasty should be considered in relation to the state. In the first part of this paper, we review the existing studies on the relationship between the ruling elite and the state in Korea. The first group gives a view that the ruling class has autonomy from the state and has an identity outside the country. The second group of the studies shows that the ruling autonomous governments have encroached on the private sector. The third group are studies showing that the ruling class of the Chosŏn Dynasty structurally could not escape the domination of the state. Each of these studies pointed out important points in characterizing the ruling elites of the Chosŏn dynasty, yet they had some limitations because they lacked an ideological consideration of what their identity is fundamentally from. The second part of the paper presents how to overcome these limitations by insisting that the identity of the ruling class should be examined in relation to the state at that time through the issue of civilization.
Utility-driven graph summarization
Authors: Kumar K. Ashwin , Efstathopoulos Petros
Published: February 2019

A lot of the large datasets analyzed today represent graphs. In many real-world applications, summarizing large graphs is beneficial (or necessary) so as to reduce a graph's size and, thus, achieve a number of benefits, including but not limited to 1) significant speed-up for graph algorithms, 2) graph storage space reduction, 3) faster network transmission, 4) improved data privacy, 5) more effective graph visualization, etc. During the summarization process, potentially useful information is removed from the graph (nodes and edges are removed or transformed). Consequently, one important problem with graph summarization is that, although it reduces the size of the input graph, it also adversely affects and reduces its utility. The key question that we pose in this paper is,
can we summarize and compress a graph while ensuring that its utility or usefulness does not drop below a certain user-specified utility threshold?

We explore this question and propose a novel iterative utility-driven graph summarization approach. During iterative summarization, we incrementally keep track of the utility of the graph summary. This enables a user to query a graph summary that is conditioned on a user-specified utility value. We present both exhaustive and scalable approaches for implementing our proposed solution. Our experimental results on real-world graph datasets show the effectiveness of our proposed approach. Finally, through multiple real-world applications we demonstrate the practicality of our notion of utility of the computed graph summary.
IPA

It is common to use weakly consistent replication to achieve high availability and low latency at a global scale. In this setting, concurrent updates may lead to states where application invariants do not hold. Some systems coordinate the execution of (conflicting) operations to avoid invariant violations, leading to high latency and reduced availability for those operations. This problem is worsened by the difficulty in identifying precisely which operations conflict.

In this paper we propose a novel approach to preserve application invariants without coordinating the execution of operations. The approach consists of modifying operations in a way that application invariants are maintained in the presence of concurrent updates. When no conflicting updates occur, the modified operations present their original semantics. Otherwise, we use sensible and deterministic conflict resolution policies that preserve the invariants of the application. To implement this approach, we developed a static analysis, IPA, that identifies conflicting operations and proposes the necessary modifications to operations.

Our analysis shows that IPA can avoid invariant violations in many applications, including typical database applications. Our evaluation reveals that the offline static analysis runs fast enough for being used with large applications. The overhead introduced in the modified operations is low and it leads to lower latency and higher throughput when compared with other approaches that enforce invariants.

A range of
explanation engines
assist data analysts by performing feature selection over increasingly high-volume and high-dimensional data, grouping and highlighting commonalities among data points. While useful in diverse tasks such as user behavior analytics, operational event processing, and root cause analysis, today's explanation engines are designed as standalone data processing tools that do not interoperate with traditional, SQL-based analytics workflows; this limits the applicability and extensibility of these engines. In response, we propose the DIFF operator, a relational aggregation operator that unifies the core functionality of these engines with declarative relational query processing. We implement both single-node and distributed versions of the DIFF operator in MB SQL, an extension of MacroBase, and demonstrate how DIFF can provide the same semantics as existing explanation engines while capturing a broad set of production use cases in industry, including at Microsoft and Facebook. Additionally, we illustrate how this declarative approach to data explanation enables new logical and physical query optimizations. We evaluate these optimizations on several real-world production applications, and find that DIFF in MB SQL can outperform state-of-the-art engines by up to an order of magnitude.
Document reordering for faster intersection
Authors: Wang Qi , Suel Torsten
Published: February 2019

A lot of research has studied how to optimize inverted index structures in search engines through suitable reassignment of document identifiers. This approach was originally proposed to allow for better compression of the index, but subsequent work showed that it can also result in significant speed-ups for conjunctive queries and even certain types of disjunctive top-k algorithms. However, we do not have a good understanding of why this happens, and how we could directly optimize an index for query processing speed. As a result, existing techniques attempt to optimize for size, and treat speed increases as a welcome side-effect.

In this paper, we take an initial but important step towards understanding and modeling speed increases due to document reordering. We define the problem of minimizing the cost of queries given an inverted index and a query distribution, relate it to work on adaptive set intersection, and show that it is fundamentally different from that of minimizing compressed index size. We then propose a heuristic algorithm for finding a document reordering that minimizes query processing costs under suitable cost models. Our experiments show significant increases in the speed of intersections over state-of-the-art reordering techniques.
Correlation constraint shortest path over large multi-relation graphs
Authors: Zhang Xiaofei , Özsu M. Tamer
Published: February 2019

Multi-relation graphs intuitively capture the heterogeneous correlations among real-world entities by allowing multiple types of relationships to be represented as entity-connecting edges, i.e., two entities could be correlated with more than one type of relationship. This is important in various applications such as social network analysis, ecology, and bio-informatics. Existing studies on these graphs usually consider an edge label constraint perspective, where each edge contains only one label and each edge is considered independently. For example, there are lines of research focusing on reachability between two vertices under a set of edge label constraints, or finding paths whose consecutive edge labels satisfy a user-specified logical expression. This is too restricted in real graphs, and in this work, we define a generic correlation constraint on multi-relation graphs from the perspective of vertex correlations, where a correlation can be defined recursively. Specifically, we formalize and investigate the shortest path problem over large multi-relation graphs in the presence of both necessity and denial constraints, which have various real applications. We show that it is nontrivial to apply conventional graph traversal algorithms (e.g., BFS or DFS) to address the challenge. To effectively reduce the search space, we propose a
Hybrid Relation Encoding
method, a.k.a. HyRE, to encode both topological and relation information in a compact way. We conduct extensive experiments over large real-world graphs to validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed solution.
