Learning lazy naive Bayesian classifiers for ranking (2005)

Naive Bayes (simply NB) has been well-known as an effective and efficient classification algorithm. However, it is based on the conditional independence assumption that it is often violated in applications. In addition, in many real-world data mining applications, however, an accurate ranking of instances is often required rather than an accurate classification. For example, a ranking of customers in terms of the likelihood that they buy one's products is useful in direct marketing. In this paper, we firstly investigate the ranking performance of some lazy learning algorithms for extending naive Bayes. The ranking performance is measured by Hand and Till (2001) and Bradley (1997). We observe that they can not significantly improve naive Bayes' ranking performance. Motivated by this fact and aiming at improving naive Bayes with accurate ranking, we present a new lazy learning algorithm, called lazy naive Bayes (simply LNB), to extend naive Bayes for ranking. We experimentally tested our algorithm, using the whole 36 UCI data sets (Blake and Merz, 2000) recommended by Weka, and compared it to NB and C4.4 (Provost and Domingos, 2003) measured by AUC. The experimental results show that our algorithm significantly outperforms both NB and C4.4.
Arterial closure devices. A review. (2007)

The use of arterial closure devices in achieving haemostasis following arterial puncture has become increasingly popular. This review aims to provide an overview of the currently available closure devices, with an up-to-date summary of the supporting literature. The various devices have their advantages and disadvantages as well as differing mechanisms of actions. Technical aspects of deployment affect the learning curve and ease of use of individual devices. Some complications that arise are device specific where others are related to arterial punctures in general. When choosing a device, all these factors should be taken into account as well as differing clinical requirements and priorities. Most studies of arterial closure devices that are currently in use conclude that the safety profile of closure devices is comparable to manual compression. The literature does not show superiority of any particular device. Caution is advised in extrapolating evidence based on differing patient groups, as many of the study populations are heterogeneous. As physicians become more familiar with the use of closure devices, off-label applications of some devices have emerged, some of which need further evaluation. The ideal closure device should reduce complication rates compared to manual compression, be easy to use with a short learning curve, and have a high rate of deployment success. It should also be usable across a wide range of sheath sizes, not leave any permanent foreign body behind, reduce time to haemostasis and ambulation, allow immediate repuncture, improve patient comfort and be cost effective. In spite of the wide range of devices currently available there remains room for improvement.
Bicycle Naturalistic Data Collection (2016)

Recently, bicycling has drawn more attention as a sustainable and eco-friendly mode of transportation. Between 2000 and 2011, bicycle commuting rates in the United States rose by 80% in large bicycle friendly cities (BFCs), by 32% in non-BFCs, and overall by 47%. On the other hand, about 700 cyclists are killed and nearly 50,000 are injured annually in bicycle–motor vehicle crashes in recent years in the United States. More than 30% of cyclist fatalities in the United States from 2008 to 2012 occurred at intersections, and up to 16% of bicycle-related crashes were due to cyclists’ violations at intersections. In light of these statistics, this project focused on investigating factors that affect cyclist behavior and predicting cyclist violations at intersections. Naturalistic cycling data were used to assess the feasibility of developing cyclist violation prediction models. Mixed-effects generalized regression model is used to analyze the data and identify the significant factor affecting the probability of violations by cyclists. At signalized intersections, right turn, side traffic and opposing traffic are statistically significant factors affecting the probability of red light violation. At stop-controlled intersections, the presence of other road users, left turn, right turn and warm weather are statistically significant factors affecting the probability of violations. Violation prediction models were developed for stop-controlled intersections based on kinetic data measured as cyclists approached the intersection. Prediction error rates were 0% to 10%, depending on how far from the intersection the prediction task was conducted. An error rate of 6% was obtained when the violating cyclist was at a time-to-intersection of about 2 seconds, which is sufficient for most motor vehicle drivers to respond.

<sup>14</sup>N Quadrupole Interactions in Nitrogen-Containing Ceramics. Effects on <sup>29</sup>Si NMR Line Shapes and Structural Implications (1992)

Abstract Simulations of solid-state 29 Si NMR spectra in nitrogen-containing silicon ceramics and glasses are described. The range of SiN x O 4-x tetrahedra is covered, with emphasis on the experimental conditions needed to observe the effect of the incompletely averaged 29 Si, 14 N dipolar coupling. A simple equation is discussed concerning its use in the interpretation of these 29 Si spectra, including the computation of 14 N quadrupole coupling constants with its absolute sign.
Identity in Online Communities: Social Networking Sites and Language Learning (2009)

Since their emergence in 2005, Web 2.0 technologies have been advanced as potentially transformative in the area of education in general and foreign language learning in particular. Web 2.0 technologies are presenting new opportunities for developing diverse online learning environments and enhancing interactivity, participation and feedback between students, their peer groups and teachers. This article examines one of the most significant Web 2.0 tools, Social Networking Sites (SNS), and focuses on Livemocha, an example of an online community specifically aimed at encouraging collaboration between foreign language learners. Results from the ethnographic approach adopted in the paper indicate that: (a) SNSs can be used by language learners to explore new relationships rather than merely maintain existing ones and that (b) longitudinal studies are required to achieve a better understanding of the complex processes of mediation involved in online community formation and maintenance.

A federated virtual enterprise (VE) of partners creating a federated VE of systems (2002)

A virtual enterprise (VE) of an enterprise of partners (EP) can choose to formulate a federation of enterprise information systems (a VE of systems). This is a realistic approach that can be taken to realize effective information sharing across heterogeneous domains. To realize a federated system of systems requires a VE of partners to manage and define the federated system (of systems), and this federated system is itself a VE. This paper discusses the needed systems engineering activities, supporting technologies and information sharing strategies for both the organizational VE and the federated system VE. The information and data sharing strategies discussed include STEP, the World Wide Web, integrated databases, brokers, and others.
<title>Producing of <formula><sup><roman>168</roman></sup></formula>Yb of weighable amounts by AVLIS method and selective photo-ionization of palladium</title> (2003)

AVLIS process for Yb has been studied theoretically and experimentally. Installations to produce highly enriched <sup>168</sup>Yb in industrial scales were created. The contents of <sup>168</sup>Yb in the laser produced plasma was reached 90 - 95 %, in the material deposited on the ions collector - up to 62 % and in the washing liquid - up to 45 %. The rate of the enriched yterrbium production was up to 5-10 mg/hour (over 1 g per month). For the first time a profitable commodity was produced by the AVLIS method. Using the selective two-stage ionization and Zeeman effect the essential enrichment of various isotopes of a palladium is reached: <sup>102</sup>Pd - up to 18 % (on a comparison with the natural contents 1 %), <sup>104</sup>Pd - up to 70 % (on a comparison - 11.4%), <sup>105</sup>Pd - up to 60 % (on a comparison - 22.33%).
PC's printer port as an interface for astronomy instrument (2002)

Astronomical instruments today have been digitalized,therefore an interfacc is always needed.In the early of 2001,we began to set up several instruments for site testing.These instruments include a Differential Image Motion Monitor,a photometer for photo-counting,and a CCD camera. Under the condition of the site survey,this set of instruments should be compact,handiness,and the power supply used should be batteries. It seems to be the best choice to use a laptop as the control computer.Unfortunately,the interface card can not be put into the notebook computer,in this case the PRN port comes to be the choice. The printer port is an interface that comes with each PC,and we find that it is suitable for astronomical applications.Our photometer and CCD are connected to the computers by the PRN port,and the photometer is in SPP mode and the CCD camera is in EPP mode. In this paper,the concept of SPP and EPP is described,and a brief introduction of SPP and EPP programming is given.The details in our design are illustrated in this paper.The operation system of our laptop is Windows 98,and our software is developed with the Microsoft Visual C++6.0.
WMM: Wireless Mesh Monitoring (2010)

This work presents a novel adaptive cluster-based monitoring scheme for wireless mesh networks. Nodes self-organize in semi-circular clusters and monitoring information from each cluster is aggregated by the cluster head and forwarded to the monitoring station. Clustering takes into account existing data-flows in the mesh network, to minimize the interference of the monitoring traffic on active streams. The proposed solution was evaluated using simulations and an experimental testbed deployed for the effect. Palavras Chave Keywords

A Combined Right Hand Circular and Linear Polarisation Antenna For GPS and Cellular Telephone Usage (1996)

The paper shall chart the continued development of the
miniature dielectric loaded volute antenna topology
that was the subject of a paper presented at ION-9.5’. It
will give an account of development of the topology
since that time with an emphasis on empirical
verification.
This review of progress shall lead to a conceptual
explanation of the operation of a dual mode antenna
which supports two resonant modes. The antenna
comprises an upper radiating section with a straight
helical loop and a meandered helical loop that are
respectively disposed at right angles and phased so that
they support a cardiod right hand circular polarisation
pattern when excited with balanced currents. The
lower portion of the antenna is a mode-manager and
trap element which facilitates an alternative single-
ended mode of resonance in which currents pass down
the helices in phase synchronism and into the guiding
region of the trap. In this mode of resonance the
antenna acts as a current fed inverted monopole. It is
possible to dimension the element so that the right-
hand circularly polarised and vertically polarised
modes are respectively positioned at the GPS Ll and
820-900MHz US cell-phone frequency allocations.
An example of an antenna element design functioning
as a dual-mode GPYcellular antenna in this mode is
described together with the design of a typical
automotive diplexer component which separates the
GPS and cellular signals. Finally, the use of the
antenna is considered, as part of a tight integration of
GPS and cellular phone circuits, to implement mobile
telephone appliances with positioning facilities.
Studies on the Foaming Property of the Chicken Egg White (1964)

The foaming power of the native ovalbumin has been found to be increased very much by various kinds of denaturation. The characters of its surface monolayer were also changed by denaturation procedure. From these results, the relation between the foaming power of the protein and the characters of its surface monolayer was discussed.

Extraction of Schottky diode parameters from forward current-voltage characteristics (1986)

It is shown that by using the forward current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics of a Schottky diode, a plot of d(V)/d(ln J) vs J and a plot of the function H(J) vs J, where H(J)≡V−n(kT/q)ln(J/A**T2), will each give a straight line. The ideality factor n, the barrier height φB, and the series resistance R of the Schottky diode can be determined with one single I-V measurement. This procedure has been used successfully to study thermal annealing effects of W/GaAs Schottky contacts.
Cleaning soil without incineration (1994)

This study was designed to provide an estimate of the prevalence of neuropsychological impairment in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), to evaluate the concordance between impairment found on standardized tests and self-reported neuropsychological problems, and to study the relationship between neuropsychological functioning and fatigue severity and psychological processes. We adopted an individual approach to determine neuropsychological impairment as contrasted with the group-comparisons approach used in previous studies. Also, correction for premorbid functioning and confounders was done on an individual basis. The results show that a minority of participants were impaired in neuropsychological functioning. There was no relationship between neuropsychological impairment on standardized tests and self-reported memory and concentration problems. Neuropsychological functioning was not related to fatigue or depression. Slowed speed of information processing and motor speed were related to low levels of physical activity.
Influence of general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia on perioperative immune function in patients underwent upper abdominal surgery (2012)

[Objective] To study the influence of general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia on perioperative immune function in patients underwent upper abdominal surgery.[Methods] Totally 60 patients underwent upper abdominal surgery were randomly divided into two groups:general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia group(GEA)and general anesthesia group(GA),with 30 cases in each group.Peripheral blood T-lymphocyte subsets were measured before induction(T1),after anesthesia(T2),at the end of operation(T3),1 d(T4),3 d(T5)after surgery.[Results] CD3+,CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ all decreased in both groups at T2,T3 and T4,compared with those at T1(P ＜0.05).The indexes almost returned to the baseline values at T5 in GEA group,but the indexes in GA group remained low.There were significant differences between the two groups(P ＜ 0.05).[Conclusions] GEA has little influence on immune function,and is good for the recovery of patients.

High Levels of Malic Enzyme Activities in <i>Vicia faba</i> L. Epidermal Tissue (1981)

Specific activities of NADP-malic enzyme, NAD-malic enzyme, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase in various cells of Vicia faba L. leaflets were determined. Expressed on dry weight, chlorophyll or protein basis, the averages for NADP- and NAD-malic enzyme specific activities were higher in guard cells than in photosynthetic parenchyma cells. Malic enzyme-specific activities were also high in epidermal cells. Phosphoenolypyruvate carboxykinase activity was not detected in Vicia leaf extracts or guard cells; the assay techniques were validated by mixed Vicia-Brachiaria leaf extraction and assays on nanogram samples of Brachiaria bundlesheath cells. It was inferred from these data that guard cell malate depletion is by decarboxylation to pyruvate in the epidermal layer, but how the various epidermal cells interact remains obscure.Pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase activity could not be demonstrated unequivocally in Vicia leaf extracts, Vicia guard cell protoplast extracts, or in Vicia guard cells. The assay techniques were validated by mixed Vicia-Kochia leaf extraction and assays on nanogram samples of Kochia mesophyll cells. How (or if) pyruvate is phosphorylated by epidermal tissue for entry into gluconeogenesis is unknown.
Effects of cerium salts on corrosion behaviors of Si-Zr hybrid sol-gel coatings (2015)

The present work examines the effects of cerium salts on corrosion behaviors of Si–Zr hybrid sol–gel coatings. The Si–Zr hybrid sol–gel coatings on a 2A12 aluminum substrate were prepared through hydrolysis and condensation of glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxy-silane（GTMS） and zirconium（IV） n-propoxide（TPOZ）. Used as inhibitors for corrosion, three types of cerium salts（Ce（NO3）3, CeCl3, and Ce（CH3COO）3） were doped into the sol–gel coatings. Fourier transform infrared（FTIR） and scanning electron microscopy（SEM） were employed to investigate the structures and morphologies of various coatings, and the corrosion resistances of the coatings were evaluated by electrochemical methods and neutral salt spray tests. Experimental results indicate that the addition of cerium salts can hinder the process of corrosion due to their self-healing abilities. Furthermore, the sol–gel coating doped with Ce（CH3COO）3 has the best corrosion resistance because of the promotions of hydrolysis and condensation provided by CH3COO.
PROTEIN-RNA RECOGNITION (1995)

Specific interactions between RNAs and proteins are fundamental to many cellular processes, including the assembly and function of ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs), such as ribosomes and spliceosomes and the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Among the complexes studied to date are small RNAs bound to individual amino acids, tRNAs and tRNA fragments bound to their cognate aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, and a variety of proteins bound to RNA single strands, hairpins, irregular helices, and tertiary structures stabilized by bound cations. Several proteins use a beta-sheet surface to bind RNAs, and others insert an alpha-helix into the widened major groove of a non-canonical RNA helix. Distortion or rearrangement of the RNA structure by bound protein is a common theme. The structural details of protein-RNA complexes are being resolved by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray crystallography, but thorough thermodynamic analyses of recognition mechanisms have yet to be performed.
Solar power probabilistic forecasting by using multiple linear regression analysis (2015)

Variable energy generation, particularly from renewable energy resources such as wind and solar energy plants have created operational challenges for the electric power grid because of the uncertainty involved in their output in the short term. Energy forecasting can be used to mitigate some of the challenges that arise from the uncertainty in the resource. While wind energy forecasting has already undergone extensive research efforts, solar power forecasting is only recently witnessing an increased amount of attention. This paper proposes a multiple linear regression analysis model to generate probabilistic forecasts of solar energy.
Identification of additional rRNA fragments encoded by the Plasmodium falciparum 6 kb element (1997)

Sequences similar to mitochondrial large and small subunit rRNAs are found as small scattered fragments on a tandemly reiterated 6 kb element in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The rDNA sequences previously identified include strongly conserved portions of rRNA, suggesting that fragmented rRNAs derived from them are able to associate into functional ribosomes. However, sequences corresponding to other expected rRNA regions were not found. We here report that 10 of the 13 previously described rDNA regions have abundant small transcripts. An additional 10 transcripts were found from regions not previously known to contain genes. Five of the latter have been identified as rRNA fragments, including those corresponding to the 5'end and 790 loop sequences of small subunit rRNA and the sarcin/ ricin loop of large subunit rRNA. Demonstration that most of the previously described rDNA regions have abundant transcripts and the identification of new transcripts with other portions of conventional rRNAs provide support for the hypothesis that these small transcripts comprise functional rRNAs.
Current standards of surgery for pancreatic cancer (2004)

The surgical management of pancreatic cancer has undergone a significant change in the past decade. It has moved away from no active treatment. The standard of care can now be defined as potentially curative resection in a specialist centre followed by adjuvant systemic chemotherapy.
