Alternative interest measures for mining associations in databases (2003)

Data mining is defined as the process of discovering significant and potentially useful patterns in large volumes of data. Discovering associations between items in a large database is one such data mining activity. In finding associations, support is used as an indicator as to whether an association is interesting. In this paper, we discuss three alternative interest measures for associations: any-confidence, all-confidence, and bond. We prove that the important downward closure property applies to both all-confidence and bond. We show that downward closure does not hold for any-confidence. We also prove that, if associations have a minimum all-confidence or minimum bond, then those associations will have a given lower bound on their minimum support and the rules produced from those associations will have a given lower bound on their minimum confidence as well. However, associations that have that minimum support (and likewise their rules that have minimum confidence) may not satisfy the minimum all-confidence or minimum bond constraint. We describe the algorithms that efficiently find all associations with a minimum all-confidence or minimum bond and present some experimental results.

Structural, magnetic and lithium insertion properties of spinel-type Li2Mn3MO8 oxides (M = Mg, Co, Ni, Cu) (2000)

Single-phase compounds Li2Mn3MO8 (M = Mg, Co, Ni, Cu) have been synthesized and investigated as replacements of LiMn2O4 for lithium intercalation below 3 V. They all retain the spinel structure, with cation ordering on the octahedral M (16d) site for M = Mg only. Cell parameters vary as Co < Ni < Mg ≈ Cu < Mn and average M–O bond lengths as Co ≈ Ni < Cu < Mg < Mn. Lithium was intercalated both chemically and electrochemically. Electrochemical potential step spectroscopy shows features typical of a two-phase intercalation reaction, in spite of a manganese valence range mostly above the accepted Jahn–Teller distortion limit (50% Mn3+). The tetragonal distortion is only noticeable at high intercalation levels. It yields c/a distortion values much lower for M = Co or Ni than for unsubstituted LiMn2O4. However, no improvement in electrochemical cyclability was obtained. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show features typical of frustrated systems, as expected for the 16d sublattice, and confirm that chemical intercalation reaches lithium contents close to the theoretical limit (one additional Li per AB2O4 formula unit). For cobalt substitution, bond length and Curie constant analysis both lead to a charge distribution Li2[(Mn4+)2Mn3+Co3+]O8 rather than Li2[(Mn4+)3Co2+]O8.
A framework for application server based Web services management (2005)

Web services are considered as solution for solving the interoperability problem and the challenge of integration. How to manage Web services more efficiently is a key problem to the applications based on Web services at present. This paper presents a framework for application server based Web services management named FASWSM. The main contribution of FASWSM is Web service adaptation, so that a Web service can be plugged into the application server (AS) as a Web service adapter which enables a Web service to be managed by the application server. Therefore, the Web services management efforts are greatly reduced by leveraging various services provided by the AS. The FASWSM also provides mechanisms for dynamical reconfiguration which improve the extensibility and flexibility of Web services management. The FASWSM has been applied to OnceAS 2.0 application server, and the experiments data show that FASWSM outperforms JAX-RPC in terms of Web service invocation.

Central Necrosis in Isolated Hypoxic Human Pancreatic Islets: Evidence for Postisolation Ischemia (2005)

A variety of explanations have been provided to elucidate the requirement of the large islet mass that is essential for a successful treatment of patients with type I diabetes by intrahepatic transplantation. The purpose of this study was to investigate islet cell survival under the effect of prolonged hypoxia and/or nutrient withdrawal, which mimics posttransplantation environment of transplanted islets in the liver. We studied the influence of 24 h of hypoxia (1% O2) in intact isolated human and rat islets as well as the effect of combined oxygen/nutrient deprivation in a mouse insulinoma cell line (MIN6). In intact human islets, 24 h of hypoxia led to central necrosis combined with apoptotic features such as nuclear pyknosis and DNA fragmentation. In the course of hypoxic treatment, ultrastructural analysis demonstrated a gradual transition from an apoptotic to a necrotic morphology particularly pronounced in central areas of large islets. In MIN6 cells, on the other hand, hypoxia led to a twofold (p < 0.01) increase in caspase-3 activity, an indicator of apoptosis, but not to necrosis, as determined by release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Only in combination with nutrient/serum deprivation was a marked increase in LDH release observed (sixfold vs. control, p < 0.01). We therefore conclude that, similar to MIN6 cells, central necrosis in isolated hypoxic islets is the result of the combined effects of hypoxia and nutrient/serum deprivation, most likely due to limited diffusion. Provided that transplanted islets undergo a similar fate as shown in our in vitro study, future emphasis will require the development of strategies that protect the islet graft from early cell death and accelerate the revascularization process.
A Heat-Map-Based Algorithm for Recognizing Group Activities in Videos (2013)

In this paper, a new heat-map-based algorithm is proposed for group activity recognition. The proposed algorithm first models human trajectories as series of heat sources and then applies a thermal diffusion process to create a heat map (HM) for representing the group activities. Based on this HM, a new key-point-based (KPB) method is used for handling the alignments among HMs with different scales and rotations. A surface-fitting (SF) method is also proposed for recognizing group activities. Our proposed HM feature can efficiently embed the temporal motion information of the group activities while the proposed KPB and SF methods can effectively utilize the characteristics of the HM for activity recognition. Section IV demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms.
Love in the Church: A Study of First Corinthians, Chapter 13 (1950)

The thirteenth chapter of I Corinthians loses some of its force through our familiarity with it. It is one of the bestknown passages of the Bible, and many a man who has little interest in the Church, and less patience with Pauline theology, will accept it as a literary classic and warmly express his admiration of it. No one who is responsive to elevated thought or sensitive to beauty of language will deny it its right to a place in an anthology of literary excellence, whether it be regarded as eloquent prose or as lyrical poetry, whether it be read in the original Greek or in the mellifluous music of our English version. But the custom of abstracting it from its setting and treating it as a poem or hymn, self-complete and selfilluminating, brings great disadvantages.
Evaluation of human antibody responses to keyhole limpet hemocyanin on a carbohydrate microarray (2010)

Antibodies to TACAs can be produced in humans, but antibody profiles differ considerably from person to person, which may contribute to variable clinical responses with KLH. Pre-treatment antibody levels to certain antigens may be useful for predicting which patients will respond favorably to KLH.
Advanced GDI Injector Control with Extended Dynamic Range (2013)

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Considering the world-wide market for GDI engines, the introduction of tighter polluting emission legislation, additional costs, vehicle fuel economy and pollutants reduction become substantial drivers. Focusing on particulate reduction, direct injection gasoline engines require advanced combustion strategies. The main levers used are injection splitting in order to reduce wall impingement (due to lower penetration) and higher rail pressure level to reduce droplet size. To reach this target it is necessary to improve precision in term of injected quantity in the small quantity region with high fuel rail pressure and during the actuation of multiple injections. As a consequence of the requirements of high quantities at full load, known GDI solenoid injectors show an unacceptable spread in terms of small injected quantity when the energizing time is small such that the injector works in the ballistic zone. Following these premises an electronic approach is needed. New hardware and software solutions should be integrated into the ECU in order to match the new injectors performance requirements. This paper presents two different strategies developed by Magneti Marelli: the first one is based on rail pressure measurement, the second one is based on injector electric signal analysis. Results in terms of correction of injected quantity using Magneti Marelli solenoid injectors are presented. The developed strategies demonstrate the possibility to work with multiple small injections at high pressure without changing injector hardware.</div></div>
Activities of Vancomycin-Containing Regimens against Colistin-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Strains (2013)

Treatment of infections due to extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Acinetobacter baumannii often involves the use of antimicrobial agents in combination. Various combinations of agents have been proposed, with colistin serving as the backbone in many of them. Recent data suggest that glycopeptides, in particular vancomycin, may have unique activity against laboratory-adapted and clinical strains of A. baumannii, alone and in combination with colistin. The aim of the present study was to test this approach against three unique colistin-resistant A. baumannii clinical strains using combinations of vancomycin (VAN), colistin (COL), and doripenem (DOR). All three strains possessed the signature phosphoethanolamine modification of the lipid A moiety associated with colistin resistance and unique amino acid changes in the PmrAB two-component signal transduction system not observed in colistin-susceptible strains. In checkerboard assays, synergy (defined as a fractional inhibitory concentration index [FICI] of ≤ 0.5) was observed between COL and VAN for all three strains tested and between COL and DOR in two strains. In time-kill assays, the combinations of COL-DOR, COL-VAN, and COL-DOR-VAN resulted in complete killing of colistin-resistant A. baumannii in 1, 2, and all 3 strains, respectively. In the Galleria mellonella moth model of infection, the combinations of DOR-VAN and COL-DOR-VAN led to significantly increased survival of the larvae, compared with other combinations and monotherapy. These findings suggest that regimens containing vancomycin may confer therapeutic benefit for infection due to colistin-resistant A. baumannii.
The Effect of Implantation of Phosphorus into Sputtered MoSi2 Thin Films (1983)

The effect of phosphorus implantation into d‐c magnetron sputtered thin films is studied. The structural, compositional, and electrical properties are examined with x‐ray diffraction, secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), sheet resistance, and MOS measurements. A higher hexagonal to tetragonal phase transition temperature is observed for implanted films than for unimplanted ones. At high fluence , is detected, with a significant increase in sheet resistance. Isothermal and isochronal annealing indicates a minimum temperature of 950°, and a maximum fluence of can be used. Comparative C‐V measurements show similar MOS characteristics between unimplanted and implanted films.
Chemical composition of Hirsutella beakdumountainsis, a potential substitute for Cordyceps sinensis (2011)

A strain of Hirsutella beakdumountainsis parasitized on Antheraea pernyi pupa was isolated from the fruiting body. The objective of this work was to optimize the artificial cultivation condition for the fruiting bodies of H. beakdumountainsis and compare the compositions of natural fruiting bodies of Cordyceps sinensis (NFCS), mycelia from shake culture (SCHS) and the fruiting bodies from artificial cultivation (ACHS) of H. beakdumountainsis. The crude protein of NFCS accounted for 22.97%; obviously lower than those of SCHS (27.99%) and ACHS (31.89%). The contents of total and essential amino acids were in the following descending order: SCHS>ACHS>NFCS, respectively. The total content of five nucleosides in SCHS (16.82 mg/g) was significantly higher than those of NFCS (5.08 mg/g) and ACHS (4.45 mg/g). The content of D-mannitol in NFCS, SCHS and ACHS was 8.9, 11.5 and 10.2%, respectively. The above results suggest that H. beakdumountainsis can probably be used as a substitute for C. sinensis.
Piezoelectric Microfiber Composite Actuators for Morphing Wings (2013)

Morphing wing technologies provide expanded functionality in piloted and robotic aircraft, extending particular vehicle mission parameters as well as increasing the role of aviation in both military and civilian applications. However, realizing control surfaces that do not void the benefits of morphing wings presents challenges that can be addressed with microfiber composite actuators (MFCs). We present two approaches for realizing control surfaces. In one approach, flap-like structures are formed by bonding MFCs to each side of a metal substrate. In the other approach, MFCs are bonded directly to the wing. Counter intuitively, the flap approach resulted in larger voltage actuation curvatures, with increased mass load. Actuation performance, defined as the ratio of curvature per applied voltage, was as large as <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mrow><mml:mn>5.8</mml:mn><mml:mo>±</mml:mo><mml:mn>0.2</mml:mn><mml:mo>×</mml:mo><mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:mn>10</mml:mn></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mo>−</mml:mo><mml:mn>4</mml:mn></mml:mrow></mml:msup></mml:mrow></mml:math> (kV·mm) −1 .

A factorial hidden markov model (FHMM)-based reasoner for diagnosing multiple intermittent faults (2009)

This paper presents a factorial hidden Markov model (FHMM)-based diagnostic reasoner to handle multiple intermittent faults. The dynamic multiple fault diagnosis (DMFD) problem is to determine the most likely evolution of fault states, the one that best explains the observed test outcomes over time. In our previous research work, we have shown that the problem of diagnosing dynamic multiple faults in the presence of imperfect test outcomes, is an NP-hard problem. Here, we combine a Gauss-Seidel coordinate ascent optimization method with a Soft Viterbi decoding algorithm for solving the DMFD problem. We demonstrated the algorithm on small-scale and medium-scale systems and the simulation results shows that this approach improves primal function value (1.4%~8.3%) and correct isolation rate (1.7%~11.4%) as compared to a Lagrangian relaxation method discussed in our previous work.
Reduction of vasomotor symptoms and bone mineral density loss with combined norethindrone and long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist therapy of symptomatic endometriosis: a prospective randomized trial. (1992)

The hypoestrogenic state induced by gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) has been shown to suppress symptomatic endometriosis effectively but to elicit vasomotor symptoms and loss of bone mineral density. The role of norethindrone as a supplement to GnRHa in eliminating such side effects was assessed by enrolling 20 patients with symptomatic endometriosis diagnosed laparoscopically in a randomized, prospective, double-blinded trial. All patients received the long-acting GnRHa leuprolide acetate 3.75 mg im every 4 weeks for 24 weeks. Ten patients self-administered norethindrone 5 then 10 mg by mouth daily, whereas the remainder self-administered placebo tablets. Results of this study showed that combination therapy was as effective as GnRHa alone in significantly reducing circulating gonadotropin and estrogen levels (P less than 0.01), extent of visible endometriotic implants (P less than 0.01), and painful symptoms (P less than 0.01). Marked vasomotor and vaginal symptoms experienced by patients given GnRHa alone were minimized in those receiving GnRHa with norethindrone. Lumbar spine bone mineral density loss, measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, was significantly reduced and more completely reversed in patients receiving combination therapy (P less than 0.05). A reversible decrease in high density lipoprotein-cholesterol and increase in low density lipoprotein:high density lipoprotein ratio was noted only in the patients receiving combination therapy, but not in those receiving GnRHa only. The addition of norethindrone to GnRHa is an effective means of treating symptomatic endometriosis while ameliorating side effects induced by GnRHa alone.
Problemlösen (2011)

Das Wort „Problem“ wird im Duden als eine „schwierige, zu lösende Aufgabe“ bzw. eine „unentschiedene Frage“ beschrieben (Scholze-Stubenrecht 1997, Duden, S. 658; Stichwort: Problem). Da sich diese Arbeit auf die Mathematikdidaktik bezieht, wäre ein mathematisches Problem damit zunächst einmal eine unentschiedene mathematische Frage bzw. eine schwierige Mathematikaufgabe. Üblicherweise wird aber mathematisches Problemlösen in der Mathematik und in der Mathematikdidaktik noch genauer charakterisiert. Schoenfeld betont zudem, dass die Anzahl der vorliegenden Publikationen zum Thema Problemlösen sehr groß ist und die Vorstellungen vom Problemlösen international traditionell variieren (vgl. Schoenfeld 1992, S. 334). Es ist also mehr denn je wichtig, genau zu benennen, auf welchen Aspekt die oder der Forschende seine Fragen bezieht und welche Grundvorstellung er oder sie vom Problemlösen hat (vgl. Schoenfeld 1992, S. 364). In den folgenden Kapiteln wird der Begriff „Problemlösen“ aus verschiedenen Perspektiven beleuchtet. Neben Forschungsergebnissen spielen dabei auch die schulpraktischen und bildungspolitischen Rahmenbedingungen eine Rolle. Abschließend wird eine aufgabenorientierte Charakterisierung mathematischen Problemlösens vorgenommen.

Color attributes for object detection (2012)

State-of-the-art object detectors typically use shape information as a low level feature representation to capture the local structure of an object. This paper shows that early fusion of shape and color, as is popular in image classification, leads to a significant drop in performance for object detection. Moreover, such approaches also yields suboptimal results for object categories with varying importance of color and shape. In this paper we propose the use of color attributes as an explicit color representation for object detection. Color attributes are compact, computationally efficient, and when combined with traditional shape features provide state-of-the-art results for object detection. Our method is tested on the PASCAL VOC 2007 and 2009 datasets and results clearly show that our method improves over state-of-the-art techniques despite its simplicity. We also introduce a new dataset consisting of cartoon character images in which color plays a pivotal role. On this dataset, our approach yields a significant gain of 14% in mean AP over conventional state-of-the-art methods.
