Taxonomy-based job recommender systems on Facebook and LinkedIn profiles (2014)

This paper presents taxonomy-based recommender systems that propose relevant jobs to Facebook and LinkedIn users; they are being developed by Work4, a San Francisco-based software company and the Global Leader in Social and Mobile Recruiting that offers Facebook recruitment solutions; to use its applications, Facebook or LinkedIn users explicitly grant access to some parts of their data, and they are presented with the jobs whose descriptions are matching their profiles the most. In this paper, we use the O*NET-SOC taxonomy, a taxonomy that defines the set of occupations across the world of work, to develop a new taxonomy-based vector model for social network users and job descriptions suited to the task of job recommendation; we propose two similarity functions based on the AND and OR fuzzy logic's operators, suited to the proposed vector model. We compare the performance of our proposed vector model to the TF-IDF model using our proposed similarity functions and the classic heuristic measures; the results show that the taxonomy-based vector model outperforms the TF-IDF model. We then use SVMs (Support Vector Machines) with a mechanism to handle unbalanced datasets, to learn similarity functions from our data; the learnt models yield better results than heuristic similarity measures. The comparison of our methods to two methods of the literature (a matrix factorization method and the Collaborative Topic Regression) shows that our best method yields better results than those two methods in terms of AUC. The proposed taxonomy-based vector model leads to an efficient dimensionality reduction method in the task of job recommendation.
Prehospital Management of Earthquake Casualties Buried Under Rubble (2005)

Earthquakes continue to exact a heavy toll on life, injury, and loss of property. Survival of casualties extricated from under the rubble depends upon early medical interventions by emergency teams on site. The objective of this paper is to review the pertinent literature and to analyze the information as a practical guideline for the medical management of casualties accidentally buried alive.
Theoretical gain of strained-layer semiconductor lasers in the large strain regime (1989)

The theoretical gain of strained-layer semiconductor lasers is analyzed in the large strain regime based on the density-matrix method, taking into account the modification of both the valence bands and the transition dipole moments. The wave functions for the valence-band states for an arbitrary wave vector at the Gamma point in the presence of stain are derived from diagonalization of the strain Hamiltonian using the original wave functions obtained from the k-p method. These wave functions are then used to obtain the dipole moment matrix elements at the band edges, which are found to be independent of the wave vector.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Mortality in a cohort of long‐term users of hormone replacement therapy: an updated analysis (1990)

These data are consistent with a beneficial effect of HRT on cardiovascular diseases, although updated information comparing progestogen-opposed and -unopposed treatment is not available. The increase in breast cancer mortality contrasts with the pattern for all other specific causes examined; taken together with the suggestion of an increase in breast cancer mortality with increasing interval since first exposure to HRT, this finding is somewhat worrying.
Steady‐State Kinetics of Rabbit‐Intestinal Sucrase (1974)

Steady‐state analysis of product inhibition shows that the most probable kinetic mechanism of intestinal sucrase is ping‐pong bi‐bi (ordered uni‐bi for hydrolysis alone). The site of activation by Na + was tentatively localized at a level prior to the further transformation of the “glucose”· enzyme complex. Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane competes with the substrate for the glucose subsite. In the appendix a simple kinetic text is described for detecting or ruling out a mutual competition between inhibitors of different or of identical kinetic type.
Oxygen radical‐induced neurotoxicity in spinal cord neuron cultures (1994)

The neurotoxic effects of oxygen radicals on spinal cord neuron cultures derived from fetal mouse have been studied. Oxygen radicals, superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide, were generated by adding xanthine oxidase and hypoxanthine in the culture medium. Exposure of neurons to this oxygen radical-generating system resulted in a significant cell death and decrease of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity in a time-dependent manner in spinal cord neuron cultures. The decrease in cell viability and ChAT enzyme activity induced by the oxygen radicals was blocked by scavengers such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and tetrakis (2-pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine (TPEN), a metal chelator. Antagonists of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, including MK801 (a noncompetitive NMDA antagonist), D-2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (APV) (a competitive NMDA antagonist), and 7-chlorokynurenic acid (an antagonist at the glycine site associated with the NMDA receptor), similarly blocked oxygen radical-induced decrease in cell viability and ChAT activity in spinal cord neuron cultures. These results indicate that both oxygen radicals and excitotoxic amino acids were involved in the oxidant-initiated neurotoxicity of spinal cord neurons.
Identification of rapid changes at plasma–solid interfaces (1969)

Abstract Recording ellipsometers and surface film balance, breath patterns, and ferric oxide powder “staining” were used to observe adsorption of normal plasma constituents onto metal oxide, silicon oxide, and polymer surfaces. Adsorbed proteins could be identified by their ability to adsorb matter from corresponding antihuman sera. Data indicate that oxidized silicon crystal surfaces adsorbed fibrinogen out of plasmas within 2 sec; within 20 sec, these films lost their ability to attract antifibrinogen and were later partially removed if intact factor XII was present in the solution. One aminated nonheparinized polymer formed films that adsorbed large amounts of fibrinogen and some gamma globulins out of plasma in the ellipsometer, and platelets out of platelet‐rich plasma, as well as ferric oxide out of aqueous suspension. After taking up heparin, these polymer films appeared able to adsorb only small amounts of protein or oxide, and no detectable amounts of fibrinogen or platelets. On another aminated polymer, heparin seemed without effect. Interaction of metal surfaces with plasma may be complicated by oxidation.
Preliminary Material (2017)

The year 2017 has been an uneasy one for the EU, with so-called Brexit on the horizon and the rise of populist euroskepticism in a number of Member States. This year, with the tenth anniversary of the Romanian and Bulgarian accession to the Union, is a good year to pause and reflect over the life and future of the Union. In this work, we envision the next decade with Europe 2020 strategy and review the fruits of the 2004 accession in Central and Eastern Europe. What has the Union achieved? Which policy areas are likely to change and how? How successful, and by what measure, has the accession of the 10 Member States in 2004 been? Reviewing European Union Accession addresses a wide range of issues, deliberately without any thematic constraints, in order to explore EU enlargement from a variety of perspectives, both scientific and geographical, internal and external. In contrast to the major works in this field, we highlight the interrelated, and often unexpected, nature of the integration process – hence the subtitle, unexpected results, spillover effects and externalities.
Myodystrophy, a New Myopathy on Chromosome 8 of the Mouse (1976)

A new recessive mutation, myd, causing a diffuse and progressive myopathy in the mouse is described. Histopathological comparisons with normal littermates showed widely distributed focal lesions in all skeletal muscles of myd/myd. Body and organ weights of affected mice were considerably less than those of normal littermates and the mean lifespan of myodystrophic mice that survived weaning was 17 weeks with a range of 5 to 39 weeks. Myodystrophy is located on chromosome 8; it is linked to Os with about 6 percent and to Eso with about 37 percent recombination.
Combining local affine frames and SIFT for remote sensing image registration (2009)

Local invariant features such as scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) have received considerable attention in recent years. Despite its tremendous success in computer vision applications, SIFT matching alone is not sufficient for remote sensing image registration because of low detection repeatablility and nonlinear intensity changes. In this paper, we introduce a remote sensing image registration algorithm that combines local affine frames (LAF) together with SIFT matching. Firstly, distinctive SIFT keypoints and maximally stable extremal regions (MSER) are detected independently in the reference image and the sensed image. Contrast reversal invariant SIFT descriptor is constructed for describing texture patches around SIFT keypoints and shape descriptor defined in LAF is constructed for describing MSER contour. Nearest neighbor distance ratio matching with confidence measurement is then adopted to match both descriptors. Tentative correspondences are ranked according to their confidence measurements. Finally, random sample consensus (RANSAC) is performed in the top ranked matched features to obtain a global set of transform parameters. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the proposed method.

Retrato y relato en La Lozana andaluza: realidad y ficción en la obra de Francisco Delicado (2019)

espanolEn este estudio se contraponen dos terminos: retrato y relato, vertebradores de la estructura literaria e historica de la obra. Indico quien fue Aldonza o Lozana, probablemente una bisnieta del poeta cordobes Anton de Montoro y situo el origen de algunos personajes. Analizo la importancia del autobiografismo. Se estudia la obra como un relato anticaballeresco: presencia de la magia, rito iniciatico, la isla como espacio narrativo, presencia de los suenos profeticos, amor cortes, anagnorisis, corte recuperada, dicotomia masculino/femenino, estructura abierta, multiplicacion de personajes, etc. EnglishIn this study two terms are opposed: portrait and story, vertebrators of the literary and historical structure of the work. I indicate who Aldonza or Lozana was, probably a great-granddaughter of the Cordovan poet Anton de Montoro and I situate the origin of some characters. I analyse the importance of autobiography. The work is studied from the following themes that explain its literary genesis: presence of magic, initiatory rite, the island as a narrative space, presence of prophetic dreams, courteous love, anagnorysis, recovered court, male/female dichotomy, open structure, multiplication of characters, and so on.
Experiences from production of a cross-platform multimedia CD (1994)

The creation of a cross-platform multimedia CD-ROM requires a detailed project plan, cooperation from data providers and vendors, and spans a wide variety of skills. The common perception that making a CD is as easy as copying files from one disk to another is not true. There are a number of technical and administrative issues that confront a CD producer. Problems result from the integration of multiple datatypes and the lack of maturity in the data preparation and CD-formatting tools. One CD producer chronicles his experiences so others can learn from his successes and mistakes.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Comparative analysis of voice over internet protocol (VoIP) quality on priority queue (PQ) and class-based queue (CBQ) management system using link-sharing mechanism setting (2015)

The one of challenges in VoIP networks development is how to manage network traffics. The reason for the challenge is VoIP traffics have to use Internet networks to bring their messages. Meanwhile, Internet is convergent networks which are very busy, because many applications use the Internet. The implementation of queuing mechanisms which can distinguish network traffics is the one of mechanisms to manage network traffics. PQ and CBQ are mechanisms which can divide traffics into different classes by using a priority mechanism. In this paper, the analysing of VoIP performance and its QoS to manage its services are executed by PQ and CBQ simulation. The E-model which is introduced by ETSI and standardized by ITU-T through G.107 is used to predict the value of MOS (Mean Opinion Score) services. Then the MOS value results are used to find a better mechanism between PQ and CBQ queue system for managing VoIP traffics.
On principles of cortical computation (2012)

In many areas, the brain outperforms the technologies that mankind has invented so far.For several decades, researchers have attempted to build computational systems that are inspired by the brain.However, all approaches have failed to create systems that would be comparable to the capabilities of the brain.Consequently, we still lack understanding of the fundamental principles of brain function.We still ask ourselves the same questions as the early pioneers of neuroscience did -how can this network of billions of nerve cells carry out perception, reasoning, or consciousness?In this thesis, we focus our studies on four fundamental abilities of the brain that are crucial for building models of cortical computation: (i ) coherent interpretation of information, (ii ) consistent propagation of information, (iii ) input normalization, and (iv ) building a reliable system from unreliable neural components.
CONQUER: A Methodology for Context-Aware Query Processing on the World Wide Web (2008)

A major impediment to accurate information retrieval from the World Wide Web is the inability of search engines to incorporate semantics in the search process. This research presents a methodology, CONQUER (CONtext-aware QUERy processing), that enhances the semantic content of Web queries using two complementary knowledge sources: lexicons and ontologies. The methodology constructs a semantic net using the original query as a seed, and refines the net with terms from the two knowledge sources. The enhanced query, represented by the refined semantic net, can be executed by search engines. This paper describes the methodology and its implementation in a prototype. An empirical evaluation shows that queries suggested by the prototype produce more relevant results than those obtained by the original queries. The research, thus, provides a successful demonstration of the use of existing knowledge sources to enhance the semantic content of Web queries. The paper concludes by identifying potential uses of such enhancements of search technology in organizational contexts.
An approach for integrating statistical decision-support data with fuzzy action rules (2004)

This article describes an approach of integrating statistical decision-support information with fuzzy action rule systems, extending the concept of action rules towards the domain of probabilistic or statistical reasoning. Fuzzy action rules, inspired by fuzzy logic, allow describing the behavior of software agents in terms of linguistic variables. In principle, mapping statistical information into action rule systems allows implementing, e.g., advanced tutoring systems, whose behavior can be programmed by examples. As a consequence, these agents are also capable of learning upon experience, by allowing the action rules (the linguistic variables) to adapt, according to the perceived, actual applications.
Alkaloids in Plant Cell Cultures (2017)

Alkaloids are natural substances used largely for human medication. Destruction of natural habitat of various alkaloid-producing plants has led to cultivation. But large areas of cultivation are required due to very low content of the substances, which presents a consequence of high production cost. Cell cultures, undifferentiated or differentiated, have exhibited the capacity to synthesize alkaloids in vitro, which may be developed as alternative source of phytochemicals. The discoveries of biosynthetic pathways, sites of stepwise synthesis, and accumulation of alkaloids in plant and cultured cells, also factors involving in or influencing those mechanisms, are all mosaics that build an increasingly obvious picture of the case. Despite enhancement in alkaloids production in in vitro culture through many kinds of manipulation, variability in the yield still occurs. Improvements on the basic knowledge of cell mechanisms, including metabolomics, along with genetic engineering are expectable to solve the problems.
β-Alanine as an Ethylene Precursor. Investigations Towards Preparation, and Properties, of a Soluble Enzyme System From a Subcellular Particulate Fraction of Bean Cotyledons (1969)

A method is described for the preparation, from a subcellular particulate fraction of wax bean cotyledons, of a soluble enzyme system that is capable of converting beta-alanine to ethylene. In the presence of ATP, CoA, thiamine pyrophosphate, MgSO(4), and pyridoxal phosphate, ethylene production is maximum at a 0.5 mm concentration of beta-alanine. The system exhibits a pH optimum at 7.0 but when the pH is raised above 8, evolution of the volatile again increases and continues to do so up to pH 12. The enzyme system is stimulated by either NADPH or NADH; the concentration of NADPH necessary to obtain maximum activity is twice that of NADH. The requirement for a reducing agent is in agreement with the proposal that malonate semialdehyde, formed by an aminotransferase reaction from beta-alanine, is reduced to beta-hydroxypropionate. Both malonate semialdehyde and beta-hydroxypropionate are better stimulators of production of the volatile in the soluble system than is beta-alanine, and beta-hydroxypropionate is a better stimulator than malonate semialdehyde. This system is also able to incorporate tritium from tritiated water into ethylene; this supports the proposal that ethylene is formed by the decarboxylation of acrylate, the latter being formed from beta-hydroxypropionate.Experiments with both cold and labeled malonate suggest that this compound stimulates ethylene production by acting as an end product inhibitor that prevents the loss of malonate semialdehyde from the pathway. Malonate does not appear to serve as a precursor.Addition of cytoplasmic enzymes to the ;soluble system' (prepared from particulate enzymes) results in a considerable boost in ethylene production, but the specific activity (mmu1 / mg protein) is lowered from that of the particulate enzymes alone.
Appraisal of Methysergide in Treatment of Vascular Headaches of Migraine Type (1963)

The authors administered methysergide maleate to 421 patients who previously had been treated, without success, for recurrent headaches over periods as long as 55 yr. The drug was given in amounts ranging from 6 to 16 mg per day in divided doses. The treatment, essentially prophylactic, was continued for periods up to 29 mo. Side effects were frequent and adjustment of dosage was necessary. The data led to the conclusion that methysergide maleate has no value in treating the acute attack, but is effective in the prophylactic treatment of all forms of migraine headache.

Design of dual-frequency microstrip antennas using a shorting-pin loading (2002)

There are several designs of dual-frequency microstrip antennas, such as stacked microstrip antennas, slotted microstrip patch antennas, and dual-mode (operated at TM/sub 10/ and TM/sub 01/, modes) rectangular microstrip patch antennas. These dual-frequency designs, however, show only a moderate frequency ratio (up to about 2.0) between the two operating frequencies. We present several novel designs of single-feed microstrip antennas using a shorting-pin loading technique for providing dual-frequency operation with a relatively large frequency ratio of 2.0/spl sim/4.9. Experimental results for the characteristics of such dual-frequency microstrip antennas are presented and discussed.
