Increasing fruit and vegetable intake by changing environments, policy and pricing: restaurant-based research, strategies, and recommendations.

Restaurants are among the most important and promising venues for environmental, policy, and pricing initiatives to increase fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake. This article reviews restaurant-based environmental, policy and pricing strategies for increasing intake of fruits and vegetables and identifies promising strategies, research needs, and innovative opportunities for the future.



The strategies, examples, and research reported here were identified through an extensive search of published journal articles, government documents, the internet, and inquiries to leaders in the field. Recommendations were expanded based on discussion by participants in the CDC/ACS-sponsored Fruit and Vegetable, Environment Policy and Pricing Workshop held in September of 2002.



Six separate types of restaurant-based interventions were identified: increased availability, increased access, reduced prices and coupons, catering policies, point-of-purchase (POP) information, and promotion and communication. Combination approaches have also been implemented. Evaluation data on these interventions show some significant impact on healthful diets, particularly with point-of-purchase information. However, most published reports emphasize low-fat eating, and there is a need to translate and evaluate interventions focused on increasing fruit and vegetable intake.



Several models for changing environments, policy and pricing to increase fruit and vegetable availability, access, attractiveness and consumption in restaurants have been tested and found to have some promise. There is a need to evaluate fruit and vegetable-specific strategies; to obtain data from industry; to disseminate promising programs; and to enhance public-private partnerships and collaboration to expand on current knowledge.
Implantable Antennas for Biomedical Applications: An Overview on Alternative Antenna Design Methods and Challenges

Implanted biomedical devices are witnessing great attention in finding solutions to complex medical conditions. Many challenges face the design of implantable biomedical devices including designing and implanting antennas within hostile environment due to the surrounding tissues of human body. Implanted antennas must be compact in size, efficient, safe, and can effectively work within adequate medical frequency bands. This paper presents an overview of the major aspects related to the design and challenges of in body implanted antennas. The review includes surveying the applications, design methods, challenges, simulation tools, and testing and manufacturing of implantable biomedical antennas.
Generalized schema-mappings: from termination to tractability

Exchange is the problem of creating new databases according to a high-level specification called a schema-mapping while preserving the information encoded in a source database. This paper introduces a notion of generalized schema-mapping that enriches the standard schema-mappings (as defined by Fagin et al) with more expressive power. It then proposes a more general and arguably more intuitive notion of semantics that rely on three criteria: Soundness, Completeness and Laconicity (non-redundancy and minimal size). These semantics are shown to coincide precisely with the notion of cores of universal solutions in the framework of Fagin, Kolaitis and Popa. It is also well-defined and of interest for larger classes of schema-mappings and more expressive source databases (with null-values and equality constraints). After an investigation of the key properties of generalized schema-mappings and their semantics, a criterion called Termination of the Oblivious Chase (TOC) is identified that ensures polynomial data-complexity. This criterion strictly generalizes the previously known criterion of Weak-Acyclicity. To prove the tractability of TOC schema-mappings, a new polynomial time algorithm is provided that, unlike the algorithm of Gottlob and Nash from which it is inspired, does not rely on the syntactic property of Weak-Acyclicity. As the problem of deciding whether a Schema-mapping satisfies the TOC criterion is only recursively enumerable, a more restrictive criterion called Super-weak Acylicity (SwA) is identified that can be decided in Polynomial-time while generalizing substantially the notion of Weak-Acyclicity.
Rasch analysis of the patient-rated wrist evaluation questionnaire

The Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) was developed as a wrist joint specific measure of pain and disability and evidence of sound validity has been accumulated through classical psychometric methods. Rasch analysis (RA) has been endorsed as a newer method for analyzing the clinical measurement properties of self-report outcome measures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the PRWE using Rasch modeling.



We employed the Rasch model to assess overall fit, response scaling, individual item fit, differential item functioning (DIF), local dependency, unidimensionality and person separation index (PSI). A convenience sample of 382 patients with distal radius fracture was recruited from the hand and upper limb clinic at large academic healthcare organization, London, Ontario, Canada, 6-month post-injury scores of the PRWE was used. RA was conducted on the 3 subscales (pain, specific activities, and usual activities) of the PRWE separately.



The pain subscale adequately fit the Rasch model when item 4 "Pain - When it is at its worst" was deleted to eliminate non-uniform DIF by age group, and item 5 "How often do you have pain" was rescored by collapsing into 8 intervals to eliminate disordered thresholds. Uniform DIF for "Use my affected hand to push up from the chair" (by work status) and "Use bathroom tissue with my affected hand" (by injured hand) was addressed by splitting the items for analysis. After background rescoring of 2 items in pain subscale, 2 items in specific activities and 3 items in usual activities, all three subscales of the PRWE were well targeted and had high reliability (PSI = 0.86). These changes provided a unidimensional, interval-level scaled measure.



Like a previous analysis of the Patient-Rated Wrist and Hand Evaluation, this study found the PRWE could be fit to the Rasch model with rescoring of multiple items. However, the modifications required to achieve fit were not the same across studies, our fit statistics also suggested one of the pain items should be deleted. This study adds to the pool of evidence supporting the PRWE, but cannot confidently provide a Rasch-based scoring algorithm.
Episodic Training for Domain Generalization

Domain generalization (DG) is the challenging and topical problem of learning models that generalize to novel testing domain with different statistics than a set of known training domains. The simple approach of aggregating data from all source domains and training a single deep neural network end-to-end on all the data provides a surprisingly strong baseline that surpasses many prior published methods. In this paper we build on this strong baseline by designing an episodic training procedure that trains a single deep network in a way that exposes it to the domain shift that characterises a novel domain at runtime. Specifically, we decompose a deep network into feature extractor and classifier components, and then train each component by simulating it interacting with a partner who is badly tuned for the current domain. This makes both components more robust, ultimately leading to our networks producing state-of-the-art performance on three DG benchmarks. As a demonstration, we consider the pervasive workflow of using an ImageNet trained CNN as a fixed feature extractor for downstream recognition tasks. Using the Visual Decathlon benchmark, we demonstrate that our episodic-DG training improves the performance of such a general purpose feature extractor by explicitly training it for robustness to novel problems. This provides the largest-scale demonstration of heterogeneous DG to date.
Monolingual and Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval Models Based on (Bilingual) Word Embeddings

We propose a new unified framework for monolingual (MoIR) and cross-lingual information retrieval (CLIR) which relies on the induction of dense real-valued word vectors known as word embeddings (WE) from comparable data. To this end, we make several important contributions: (1) We present a novel word representation learning model called Bilingual Word Embeddings Skip-Gram (BWESG) which is the first model able to learn bilingual word embeddings solely on the basis of document-aligned comparable data; (2) We demonstrate a simple yet effective approach to building document embeddings from single word embeddings by utilizing models from compositional distributional semantics. BWESG induces a shared cross-lingual embedding vector space in which both words, queries, and documents may be presented as dense real-valued vectors; (3) We build novel ad-hoc MoIR and CLIR models which rely on the induced word and document embeddings and the shared cross-lingual embedding space; (4) Experiments for English and Dutch MoIR, as well as for English-to-Dutch and Dutch-to-English CLIR using benchmarking CLEF 2001-2003 collections and queries demonstrate the utility of our WE-based MoIR and CLIR models. The best results on the CLEF collections are obtained by the combination of the WE-based approach and a unigram language model. We also report on significant improvements in ad-hoc IR tasks of our WE-based framework over the state-of-the-art framework for learning text representations from comparable data based on latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA).
I know what you did on your smartphone: Inferring app usage over encrypted data traffic

Smartphones and tablets are now ubiquitous in many people's lives and are used throughout the day in many public places. They are often connected to a wireless local area network (IEEE 802.11 WLANs) and rely on encryption protocols to maintain their security and privacy. In this paper, we show that even in presence of encryption, an attacker without access to encryption keys is able to determine the users' behavior, in particular, their app usage. We perform this attack using packet-level traffic analysis in which we use side-channel information leaks to identify specific patterns in packets regardless of whether they are encrypted or not. We show that just by collecting and analyzing small amounts of wireless traffic, one can determine what apps each individual smartphone user in the vicinity is using. Furthermore, and more worrying, we show that by using these apps the privacy of the user is more at risk compared to using online services through browsers on mobile devices. This is due to the fact that apps generate more identifiable traffic patterns. Using random forests to classify the apps we show that we are able to identify individual apps, even in presence of noise, with great accuracy. Given that most online services now provide native apps that may be identified by this method, these attacks represent a serious threat to users' privacy.
Nessie: A Decoupled, Client-Driven Key-Value Store Using RDMA

storage systems are an integral part of many data centre applications, but as demand increases so does the need for high performance. This has motivated new designs that use Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) to reduce communication overhead. Current RDMA-enabled key-value stores (RKVSes) target workloads involving small values, running on dedicated servers on which no other applications are running. Outside of these domains, however, there may be other RKVS designs that provide better performance. In this paper, we introduce Nessie, an RKVS that is fully client-driven, meaning no server process is involved in servicing requests. Nessie also decouples its index and storage data structures, allowing indices and data to be placed on different servers. This flexibility can decrease the number of network operations required to service a request. These design elements make Nessie well-suited for a different set of workloads than existing RKVSes. Compared to a server-driven RKVS, Nessie more than doubles system throughput when there is CPU contention on the server, improves throughput by 70 percent for PUT -oriented workloads when data value sizes are 128 KB or larger, and reduces power consumption by 18 percent at 80 percent system utilization and 41 percent at 20 percent system utilization compared with idle power consumption.
G2RHA:Group-to-Route Handover Authentication Scheme for Mobile Relays in LTE-A High-Speed Rail Networks

The introduction of mobile relay node (MRN) in long-term evolution advanced high-speed rail networks is an attractive method to provide uninterrupted connectivity for the group of user equipments on board. However, MRNs still suffer from frequent handovers and several security threats due to several rounds of message exchange and the insecure air interface between MRNs and donor eNBs (DeNBs). In this paper, we propose a group-to-route handover authentication scheme based on trajectory prediction for mobile relays. By our scheme, all of the DeNBs deployed along the trajectory can be formed a route-DeNB group and all of the MRNs deployed in the same train can construct a MRN group. Compared with the current 3GPP standards and other related schemes, our scheme can accomplish the mutual authentication and key agreement between the MRN group and the target DeNB with ideal efficiency in terms of authentication signaling overhead, bandwidth consumption, and computational cost. Security analysis by using the BAN logic and formal verification tool Scyther show that our scheme can work correctly and withstand several protocol attacks.
A Conceptual Framework for Supporting a Rapid Design of Web Applications for Data Analysis of Electrical Quality Assurance Data for the LHC

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is one of the most complex machines ever build. It is composed of many components which constitute a large system. The tunnel and the accelerator is just one of a very critical fraction of the whole LHC infrastructure. Hardware comissioning as one of the critical processes before running the LHC is implemented during the Long Shutdown (LS) states of the macine, where Electrical Quality Assurance (ELQA) is one of its key components. Here a huge data is collected when implementing various ELQA electrical tests. In this paper we present a conceptual framework for supporting a rapid design of web applications for ELQA data analysis. We show a framework’s main components, their possible integration with other systems and machine learning algorithms and a simple use case of prototyping an application for Electrical Quality Assurance of the LHC.
The potential distribution measurement on the stress grading system of high-voltage rotating machines by using pockels effect

A surface potential measuring system was developed by utilizing Pockels sensor for measuring the potential distribution on the stress grading (SG) system of form wound motor coils. A Bi4Ge3O12 (BGO) Pockels crystal is put close to a measuring object and the capacitively-induced voltage on the end surface of the BGO crystal is measured by using Pockels effect of the crystal itself. The spatial resolution of the measuring system is 5 mm, and the frequency response reaches up to GHz-range. With this system, the surface potential distributions on a model bar coil were measured. According to the measuring results, it is shown that the newly developed potential measuring system here is very useful for evaluating the reliability of the SG system of motors.
Perceived value in B 2 B and B 2 C : A comparative approach and cross-fertilization

Perceived value is of primary concern for researchers and practitioners in the business-tobusiness (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) spheres. However, the scientific community’s excitement over perceived value, associated with approaches developed in parallel in B2B and B2C, has engendered theoretical confusion about perceived value. To solve these conceptual problems, many researchers developed a unified theoretical framework of value (zoom out approach) at a macro-analytical level. By contrast with this currently mainstream perspective in marketing theory, this article adopts a micro-analytical approach to perceived value (zoom in approach). A comparative approach of literature on value in B2B and B2C leads to crossfertilization between the two areas, while each retains its own features. This zoom-in approach leads to the proposition of a research agenda and allows us to clarify and to enhance the idea of perceived value in B2B and B2C.
Internet of Things network cognition and traffic management system

In a world of ever increasing technological diversity and an advancing ‘Internet of Things’ (IoTs), business landscapes are changing. New conditions alter the way in which competence resources are regarded and how they need to be managed in order for organizations to sustain as successful actors in a knowledge economy. Information technology play an important role in this new setting, including network management systems for handling information concerning competence resources. This research focus on smart IoTs traffic management system, which is advertised by minimal cost, long scalability, great compatibility, easy to promote, to replace conventional traffic management system and the proposed approach can develop public road traffic enormously. The aim of this research proposed to develop an IoT public traffic adaptive detection system and proficient of supposing the travel time associated with each street sector based on the traffic information streamlined every 18 s, which sequentially finds the path with the minimal travel time in the traffic network by using a dynamic procedure.
Using the random forest classifier to assess and predict student learning of Software Engineering Teamwork

The overall goal of our Software Engineering Teamwork Assessment and Prediction (SETAP) project is to develop effective machine-learning-based methods for assessment and early prediction of student learning effectiveness in software engineering teamwork. Specifically, we use the Random Forest (RF) machine learning (ML) method to predict the effectiveness of software engineering teamwork learning based on data collected during student team project development. These data include over 100 objective and quantitative Team Activity Measures (TAM) obtained from monitoring and measuring activities of student teams during the creation of their final class project in our joint software engineering classes which ran concurrently at San Francisco State University (SFSU), Fulda University (Fulda) and Florida Atlantic University (FAU). In this paper we provide the first RF analysis results done at SFSU on our full data set covering four years of our joint SE classes. These data include 74 student teams with over 380 students, totaling over 30000 discrete data points. These data are grouped into 11 time intervals, each measuring important phases of project development during the class (e.g. early requirement gathering and design, development, testing and delivery). We briefly elaborate on the methods of data collection and describe the data itself. We then show prediction results of the RF analysis applied to this full data set. Results show that we are able to detect student teams who are bound to fail or need attention in early class time with good (about 70%) accuracy. Moreover, the variable importance analysis shows that the features (TAM measures) with high predictive power make intuitive sense, such as late delivery/late responses, time used to help each other, and surprisingly statistics on commit messages to the code repository, etc. In summary, we believe we demonstrate the viability of using ML on objective and quantitative team activity measures to predict student learning of software engineering teamwork, and point to easy-to-measure factors that can be used to guide educators and software engineering managers to implement early intervention for teams bound to fail. Details about the project and the complete ML training database are downloadable from the project web site.
Using sentiment from Twitter optimized by Genetic Algorithms to predict the stock market

In this work we propose to use Twitter to find companies with a good growth potential that could be good investment options. In order to achieve this we built a sentiment model using the text content of tweets. We make use of hashtags to collect Twitter posts from a broad range of emotions so that our sentiment model can reliably distinguish tweets containing different sentiment expressions. To guarantee that no human sentiment is left behind we adopted emotions from the Circumplex Model of Affect and their synonyms and used them as search terms on the Twitter API. Afterwards, we use those tweets with a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to build a sentiment model. This model was used to classify company related tweets in order to predict the predominant sentiment in them. With the sentiment measures of tweets from different companies we created a trading rule that was optimized by a Genetic Algorithm (GA) so that we can maximize profit. Our simulations show that using the rules we implemented it is possible to build a profitable strategy for trading in the stock market using Twitter with the rules we implemented. During our testing period (November 7, 2016 to December 16, 2016) we achieved a 11% return, outperforming the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100 and DJIA composites.
Towards a Legal Recommender System

In this paper we present the results of ongoing research aimed at a legal recommender system where users of a legislative portal receive suggestions of other relevant sources of law, given a focus document. We describe how we make references in case law to legislation explicit and machine readable, and how we use this information to adapt the suggestions of other relevant sources of law. We also describe an experiment in categorizing the references in case law, both by human experts and unsupervised machine learning. Results are tested in a prototype for Immigration Law.
Involvement of gut microbiome in human health and disease: brief overview, knowledge gaps and research opportunities

The commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic microbial community which resides inside our body and on our skin (the human microbiome) can perturb host energy metabolism and immunity, and thus significantly influence development of a variety of human diseases. Therefore, the field has attracted unprecedented attention in the last decade. Although a large amount of data has been generated, there are still many unanswered questions and no universal agreements on how microbiome affects human health have been agreed upon. Consequently, this review was written to provide an updated overview of the rapidly expanding field, with a focus on revealing knowledge gaps and research opportunities. Specifically, the review covered animal physiology, optimal microbiome standard, health intervention by manipulating microbiome, knowledge base building by text mining, microbiota community structure and its implications in human diseases and health monitoring by analyzing microbiome in the blood. The review should enhance interest in conducting novel microbiota investigations that will further improve health and therapy.
