Endangered Species in 5-D Stereograms
Authors: Susan Polis Schutz
Venue:  (1994)

:What is a 5-D Stereogram? A stereogram is a computer-generated image that "pops out" of the paper as if it were a Multi-Dimensional object. In order to see this image, however, the stereogram must be viewed in a certain way. How do you see the hidden 5-D stereogram image? Hold the art close to your nose so that it appears blurry. Relax and stare at it. Make believe you are looking "through" the art. Slowly move it away from your face until an image "pops out" and becomes perfectly clear. The time it takes to see the image can vary, so donÆt get impatient! Each page of the artwork has a hidden image in it, accompanied by a description of an endangered species. Experience a truly astounding form of interactive art!
DoS and authentication in wireless public access networks
Authors: Daniel B. Faria, David R. Cheriton
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM workshop on Wireless security (2002)

As WEP has been shown to be vulnerable to multiple attacks, a huge effort has been placed on specifying an access control mechanism to be used in wireless installations. However, properties of the wireless environment have been exploited to perform multiple DoS attacks against current solutions, such as 802.11/802.1X. In this paper we discuss the main wireless idiosyncrasies and the need for taking them into account when designing an access control mechanism that can be used in both wireless and wired networks. We present the design of a mobility-aware access control mechanism suitable for both wireless and wired environments and show how the DoS attacks discussed can be prevented by implementing secure association and other essential services. The architecture proposed here, composed of the SIAP and SLAP protocols, uses public keys together with the RSA and AES encryption algorithms to provide a flexible service.

Accelerating XPath location steps
Authors: Torsten Grust
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (2002)

This work is a proposal for a database index structure that has been specifically designed to support the evaluation of XPath queries. As such, the index is capable to support all XPath axes (including ancestor, following, preceding-sibling, descendant-or-self, etc.). This feature lets the index stand out among related work on XML indexing structures which had a focus on regular path expressions (which correspond to the XPath axes children and descendant-or-self plus name tests). Its ability to start traversals from arbitrary context nodes in an XML document additionally enables the index to support the evaluation of path traversals embedded in XQuery expressions. Despite its flexibility, the new index can be implemented and queried using purely relational techniques, but it performs especially well if the underlying database host provides support for R-trees. A performance assessment which shows quite promising results completes this proposal.

Inducing classification and regression trees in first order logic
Authors: Stefan Kramer, Gerhard Widmer
Venue: Relational Data Mining (2001)

In this chapter, we present a system that enhances the representational capabilities of decision and regression tree learning by extending it to first-order logic, i.e., relational representations as commonly used in Inductive Logic Programming. We describe an algorithm named Structural Classification and Regression Trees (S-CART), which is capable of inducing first-order trees for both classification and regression problems, i.e., for the prediction of either discrete classes or numerical values. We arrive at this algorithm by a strategy called upgrading-we start from a propositional induction algorithm and turn it into a relational learner by devising suitable extensions of the representation language and the associated algorithms. In particular, we have upgraded CART, the classical method for learning classification and regression trees, to handle relational examples and background knowledge. The system constructs a tree containing a literal (an atomic formula or its negation) or a conjunction of literals in each node, and assigns either a discrete class or a numerical value to each leaf. In addition, we have extended the CART methodology by adding linear regression models to the leaves of the trees; this does not have a counter part in CART, but was inspired by its approach to pruning. The regression variant of S-CART is one of the few systems applicable to Relational Regression problems. Experiments in several real-world domains demonstrate that the approach is useful and competitive with existing methods, indicating that the advantage of relatively small and comprehensible models does not come at the expense of predictive accuracy.

Mirrorsymmetric Matrices, Their Basic Properties, and an Application on Odd/Even-Mode Decomposition of Symmetric Multiconductor Transmission Lines
Authors: Guo-Lin Li, Zheng-He Feng
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2002)

Mirrorsymmetric matrices, which are the interaction matrices of mirrorsymmetric structures, are defined in this paper. The well-known centrosymmetric matrices, which can only reflect the mirror reflection relations of mirrorsymmetric structures with no component or one component on the mirror plane, are special cases of mirrorsymmetric matrices. However, almost all the properties of centrosymmetric matrices can be directly generalized to mirrorsymmetric matrices. It is proved that the eigenvectors of a mirrorsymmetric matrix are either mirrorsymmetric or skew-mirrorsymmetric corresponding to even-modes and odd-modes of the real physical systems. The application on odd/even-mode decomposition of symmetric multiconductor transmission lines is investigated in detail.

Periodicity versus Chaos in One-Dimensional Dynamics
Authors: Hans Thunberg
Venue: SIAM Review (2001)

We survey recent results in one-dimensional dynamics and, as an application, we derive rigorous basic dynamical facts for two standard models in population dynamics, the Ricker and the Hassell families. We also informally discuss the concept of chaos in the context of one-dimensional discrete time models. First we use the model case of the quadratic family for an informal exposition. We then review precise generic results before turning to the population models. Our focus is on typical asymptotic behavior, seen for most initial conditions and for large sets of maps. Parameter sets corresponding to different types of attractors are described. In particular it is shown that maps with strong chaotic properties appear with positive frequency in parameter space in our population models. Natural measures (asymptotic distributions) and their stability properties are considered.
Migrating to Visual Basic.NET
Authors: Steve Cisco
Venue:  (2002)

From the Book:Preface Who Should Read This Book According to a recent study, there are more Visual Basic developers in the world then all the other programming languages combined. Visual Basic has been used to create countless applications with all levels of complexity. One of the key contributing factors to its success has been that Visual Basic supports users who are just starting to program and that it can continue to support developers as they strengthen their skills and still support advanced developers who solve very complex business problems. This book is targeted at the millions of Visual Basic developers in the world who either want to know what Visual Basic.NET brings to the table or to those that are already making the leap and want a guide that will assist them in migrating their skills to the new platform. This book does not teach the basics of programming in Visual Basic. It assumes that you know the basic concepts of creating a windows application by dragging controls onto a form and writing code in the event procedures of the controls. It also assumes you are at least familiar with the concepts of classes and modular programming. There are many changes to the Visual Basic language and some of these changes will break some existing code. This book was written to serve as a guide to those developers who are interested in learning more about the nuts and bolts of the .NET platform and how it can help you understand the tools you will have available to make great applications....

Simulation tools for advanced signal processing in UMTS systems
Authors: Dania Marabissi, Marco Michelini, Luca Simone Ronga
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Modeling analysis and simulation of wireless and mobile systems (2002)

Link-level simulations are essential in the design of UMTS communication systems. The large number of inter-dependent variables makes it impossible to derive easy design steps without an efficient modeling of the environments and the implemented reception schemes. In this paper, a novel tool for UMTS design is presented. The tool includes a fast C++ simulation engine and a complete 3GPP library to model the uplink transmission chain. As an example, a series of Monte Carlo performance simulations are described in the paper for a UMTS Rake and S-PIC receivers with real channel estimation in a multi-path fading channel.

Approximate Projection Methods: Part I. Inviscid Analysis
Authors: Ann S. Almgren, John B. Bell, William Y. Crutchfield
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

The use of approximate projection methods for modeling low Mach number flows avoids many of the numerical complications associated with exact projection methods, but introduces additional design choices in developing a robust algorithm. In this paper we first explore these design choices in the setting of inviscid incompressible flow using several computational examples. We then develop a framework for analyzing the behavior of the different design variations and use that analysis to explain the features observed in the computations. As part of this work we introduce a new variation of the approximate projection algorithm that combines the advantages of several of the previous versions.
