Sentiment Analysis on Twitter Data

Abstract – Now-a-days social networking sites are at the boom, so large amount of data is generated. Millions of people are sharing their views daily on micro blogging sites, since it contains short and simple expressions. In this paper, we will discuss about a paradigm to extract the sentiment from a famous micro blogging service, Twitter, where users post their opinions for everything. In this paper, we will discuss the existing analysis of twitter dataset with data mining approach such as use of Sentiment analysis algorithm using machine learning algorithms. An approach is introduced that automatically classifies the sentiments of Tweets taken from Twitter dataset as in [1]. These messages or tweets are classified as positive, negative or neutral with respect to a query term. This is very useful for the companies who want to know the feedback about their product brands or the customers who want to search the opinion from others about product before purchase. We will use machine learning algorithms for classifying the sentiment of Twitter messages using distant supervision which is discussed in [8]. The training data consists of Twitter messages with emoticons, acronyms which are used as noisy labels discussed in [4]. We examine sentiment analysis on Twitter data. The contributions of this survey paper are: (1) we use Parts Of Speech (POS)-specific prior polarity features. (2) We also use a tree kernel to prevent the need for monotonous feature engineering.
EEHC: Energy efficient heterogeneous clustered scheme for wireless sensor networks

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in wireless sensor networks. One of the major issues in wireless sensor network is developing an energy-efficient clustering protocol. Hierarchical clustering algorithms are very important in increasing the network’s life time. Each clustering algorithm is composed of two phases, the setup phase and steady state phase. The hot point in these algorithms is the cluster head selection. In this paper, we study the impact of heterogeneity of nodes in terms of their energy in wireless sensor networks that are hierarchically clustered. We assume that a percentage of the population of sensor nodes is equipped with the additional energy resources. We also assume that the sensor nodes are randomly distributed and are not mobile, the coordinates of the sink and the dimensions of the sensor field are known. Homogeneous clustering protocols assume that all the sensor nodes are equipped with the same amount of energy and as a result, they cannot take the advantage of the presence of node heterogeneity. Adapting this approach, we introduce an energy efficient heterogeneous clustered scheme for wireless sensor networks based on weighted election probabilities of each node to become a cluster head according to the residual energy in each node. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate that our proposed heterogeneous clustering approach is more effective in prolonging the network lifetime compared with LEACH. 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Slip detection and prediction in human walking using only wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs)

Slip and fall is one of the major causes for human injuries for elders and professional workers. Real-time detection and prediction of the foot slip is critical for developing effective assistive and rehabilitation devices to prevent falls and train balance disorder patients. This paper presents a novel real-time slip detection and prediction scheme with wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs). The slip-detection algorithm is built on a new dynamic model for bipedal walking with slips. An extended Kalman filter is designed to reliably predict the foot slip displacement using the wearable IMU measurements and kinematic constraints. The proposed slip detection and prediction scheme has been demonstrated by extensive experiments.
Clustering Web pages based on their structure

Several techniques have been recently proposed to automatically generate Web wrappers, i.e., programs that extract data from HTML pages, and transform them into a more structured format, typically in XML. These techniques automatically induce a wrapper from a set of sample pages that share a common HTML template. An open issue, however, is how to collect suitable classes of sample pages to feed the wrapper inducer. Presently, the pages are chosen manually. In this paper, we tackle the problem of automatically discovering the main classes of pages offered by a site by exploring only a small yet representative portion of it. We propose a model to describe abstract structural features of HTML pages. Based on this model, we have developed an algorithm that accepts the URL of an entry point to a target Web site, visits a limited yet representative number of pages, and produces an accurate clustering of pages based on their structure. We have developed a prototype, which has been used to perform experiments on real-life Web sites. 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Characterizing gene sets using discriminative random walks with restart on heterogeneous biological networks

MOTIVATION
Analysis of co-expressed gene sets typically involves testing for enrichment of different annotations or 'properties' such as biological processes, pathways, transcription factor binding sites, etc., one property at a time. This common approach ignores any known relationships among the properties or the genes themselves. It is believed that known biological relationships among genes and their many properties may be exploited to more accurately reveal commonalities of a gene set. Previous work has sought to achieve this by building biological networks that combine multiple types of gene-gene or gene-property relationships, and performing network analysis to identify other genes and properties most relevant to a given gene set. Most existing network-based approaches for recognizing genes or annotations relevant to a given gene set collapse information about different properties to simplify (homogenize) the networks.


RESULTS
We present a network-based method for ranking genes or properties related to a given gene set. Such related genes or properties are identified from among the nodes of a large, heterogeneous network of biological information. Our method involves a random walk with restarts, performed on an initial network with multiple node and edge types that preserve more of the original, specific property information than current methods that operate on homogeneous networks. In this first stage of our algorithm, we find the properties that are the most relevant to the given gene set and extract a subnetwork of the original network, comprising only these relevant properties. We then re-rank genes by their similarity to the given gene set, based on a second random walk with restarts, performed on the above subnetwork. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this algorithm for ranking genes related to Drosophila embryonic development and aggressive responses in the brains of social animals.

The Growing Relationship Between China and Sub-Saharan Africa : Macroeconomic , Trade , Investment , and Aid Links

China’s economic ascendance over the past two decades has generated ripple effects in the world economy. Its search for natural resources to satisfy the demands of industrialization has led it to Sub-Saharan Africa. Trade between China and Africa in 2006 totaled more than $50 billion, with Chinese companies importing oil from Angola and Sudan, timber from Central Africa, and copper from Zambia. Demand from China has contributed to an upward swing in prices, particularly for oil and metals from Africa, and has given a boost to real GDP in Sub-Saharan Africa. Chinese aid and investment in infrastructure are bringing desperately needed capital to the continent. At the same time, however, strong Chinese demand for oil is contributing to an increase in the import bill for many oil-importing SubSaharan African countries, and its exports of low-cost textiles, while benefiting African consumers, is threatening to displace local production. China poses a challenge to good governance and macroeconomic management in Africa because of the potential Dutch disease implications of commodity booms. China presents both an opportunity for Africa to reduce its marginalization from the global economy and a challenge for it to effectively harness the influx of resources to promote poverty-reducing economic development at home.

A segmental CRF approach to large vocabulary continuous speech recognition

This paper proposes a segmental conditional random field framework for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. Fundamental to this approach is the use of acoustic detectors as the basic input, and the automatic construction of a versatile set of segment-level features. The detector streams operate at multiple time scales (frame, phone, multi-phone, syllable or word) and are combined at the word level in the CRF training and decoding processes. A key aspect of our approach is that features are defined at the word level, and are naturally geared to explain long span phenomena such as formant trajectories, duration, and syllable stress patterns. Generalization to unseen words is possible through the use of decomposable consistency features [1], [2], and our framework allows for the joint or separate discriminative training of the acoustic and language models. An initial evaluation of this framework with voice search data from the Bing Mobile (BM) application results in a 2% absolute improvement over an HMM baseline.
Correction of deep bite in adults using the Invisalign system.

719 D overbite is commonly treated by molar extrusion, incisor intrusion, or both. Careful diagnostic assessment is needed to determine the best treatment approach. Patients with structural deep bites may require orthognathic surgery for full correction. The amount of incisor exposure in smiling is an important consideration in deep-bite cases. When the maxillary incisor display is correct, maxillary incisor intrusion is unnecessary; treatment should involve intrusion and leveling of the mandibular anterior teeth to avoid flattening of the smile arc. Any maxillary incisor intrusion or mandibular leveling should be carefully monitored during treatment to maintain proper incisor exposure while effectively correcting the deep bite. After the development of thermoformed appliances that could be used for minor tooth movements, the Invisalign* system was introduced for treatment of moderate malocclusions. In 2004, Wheeler reported that Invisalign could be used in patients with anterior and posterior crossbites, deep bites, anterior open bites or shallow overbites, and periodontal problems. The present article describes the use of Invisalign appliances for the correction of deep bite in adult patients with normal skeletal patterns. Case 1
A novel low-power full-adder cell for low voltage

This paper presents a novel low-power majority function-based 1-bit full adder that uses MOS capacitors (MOSCAP) in its structure. It can work reliably at low supply voltage. In this design, the timeconsuming XOR gates are eliminated. The circuits being studied are optimized for energy efficiency at 0.18-mm CMOS process technology. The adder cell is compared with seven widely used adders based on power consumption, speed, power-delay product (PDP) and area efficiency. Intensive simulation runs on a Cadence environment and HSPICE show that the new adder has more than 11% in power savings over a conventional 28-transistor CMOS adder. In addition, it consumes 30% less power than transmission function adder (TFA) and is 1.11 times faster. & 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Compact substrate integrated waveguide based active and passive circularly polarized composite right/left handed leaky wave antennas

Two compact substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) based circularly polarized (CP) composite right/left handed (CRLH) leaky wave antennas (LWAs) are designed and presented. Besides wide-band matching enhancement, the proposed antennas are shortened by 39.8 % along the scanning plane compared to the previous work [1]. Additionally, the current amplitude distribution of the proposed antenna can be controlled by using negative resistance based reflection type amplifiers (RTAs). The compensated uniform distribution yields an enhanced directivity without compromising full space frequency scanning capability.
Effects of Platform-Switching on Peri-implant Soft and Hard Tissue Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

PURPOSE
This systematic review and meta-analysis was aimed at evaluating the longitudinal effect of platform switching on implant survival rates as well as on soft and hard tissue outcomes.


MATERIALS AND METHODS
An electronic search of the databases of the National Center for Biotechnology Information, PubMed, Ovid (MEDLINE), EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Collaboration Library was conducted in February 2015. Studies published in English with at least 10 human participants and a 12-month post-loading follow-up were included. Random effects meta-analyses of selected studies were applied to compare the primary and secondary outcomes of platform-switched (PS) and regular-platform (RP) implants, as well as the experimental designs and clinical outcomes.


RESULTS
A total of 26 studies involving 1,511 PS implants and 1,123 RP implants were evaluated. Compared to RP implants, PS implants showed a slight increase in vertical marginal bone loss (VMBL) and pocket depth reduction (weighted mean differences were -0.23 mm and -0.20 mm, respectively). The PS implants had a mean VMBL of 0.36 ± 0.15 mm within the first year of service. The meta-regression suggested a trend of decreased bone resorption at sites with thick soft tissues at baseline.


CONCLUSION
This study suggested that platform switching may have an indirect protective effect on implant hard tissue outcomes.
Standardization of marketing strategy 107 Standardization of international marketing strategy by firms from a developing country

A major debate in the international marketing literature deals with the globalization of markets and the extent to which a company’s international marketing strategy can be standardized (Buzzell, 1968; Cavusgil et al., 1993; Douglas and Wind, 1987; Hill and Still, 1984; Jain, 1989; Levitt, 1983; Sorenson and Wiechmann, 1975). Significant progress has been made with respect to the extent to which international marketing strategy can be standardized across national borders (Cavusgil et al., 1993; Jain, 1989). However, almost all previous research has been conducted from a US-firm perspective. Even though a few studies dealt with this debate in the context of less developed economies, the issues studied were viewed from the perspective of US firms’ operating activities in those economies (e.g. Grosse and Zinn, 1990; Hill and Still, 1984; Kacker, 1972). A major gap in the literature is whether our current knowledge can be generalized to foreign companies in other nations, especially the developing world. Firms from developing countries assume an increasingly important role in international competition, since many of the fastest growing economies in the world can be found in these nations. In addition, since developing countries are often culturally different from developed countries, they provide a suitable context to assess the generalizability of the existing knowledge in the standardization literature. Consequently, it is of interest to researchers and practitioners of international marketing to know the perspective of firms from developing countries regarding the standardization and adaptation of marketing strategy. Another void in the literature is that previous studies implicitly assume that standardization concepts are unidimensional at either the overall marketing programme level or the 4-P level (e.g. Akaah, 1991; Boddewyn et al., 1986;
Understanding PubMed® user search behavior through log analysis

This article reports on a detailed investigation of PubMed users' needs and behavior as a step toward improving biomedical information retrieval. PubMed is providing free service to researchers with access to more than 19 million citations for biomedical articles from MEDLINE and life science journals. It is accessed by millions of users each day. Efficient search tools are crucial for biomedical researchers to keep abreast of the biomedical literature relating to their own research. This study provides insight into PubMed users' needs and their behavior. This investigation was conducted through the analysis of one month of log data, consisting of more than 23 million user sessions and more than 58 million user queries. Multiple aspects of users' interactions with PubMed are characterized in detail with evidence from these logs. Despite having many features in common with general Web searches, biomedical information searches have unique characteristics that are made evident in this study. PubMed users are more persistent in seeking information and they reformulate queries often. The three most frequent types of search are search by author name, search by gene/protein, and search by disease. Use of abbreviation in queries is very frequent. Factors such as result set size influence users' decisions. Analysis of characteristics such as these plays a critical role in identifying users' information needs and their search habits. In turn, such an analysis also provides useful insight for improving biomedical information retrieval.Database URL:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed.
Two-factor authentication for the Bitcoin protocol

We show how to realize two-factor authentication for a Bitcoin wallet. To do so, we explain how to employ an ECDSA adaption of the two-party signature protocol by MacKenzie and Reiter (Int J Inf Secur 2(3–4):218–239, 2004. doi: 10.1007/s10207-004-0041-0 ) in the context of Bitcoin and present a prototypic implementation of a Bitcoin wallet that offers both: two-factor authentication and verification over a separate channel. Since we use a smart phone as the second authentication factor, our solution can be used with hardware already available to most users and the user experience is quite similar to the existing online banking authentication methods.
Technology and Education : Computers , Software , and the Internet

Technology and Education: Computers, Software, and the Internet* A substantial amount of money is spent on technology by schools, families and policymakers with the hope of improving educational outcomes. This chapter explores the theoretical and empirical literature on the impacts of technology on educational outcomes. The literature focuses on two primary contexts in which technology may be used for educational purposes: i) classroom use in schools, and ii) home use by students. Theoretically, ICT investment and CAI use by schools and the use of computers at home have ambiguous implications for educational achievement: expenditures devoted to technology necessarily offset inputs that may be more or less efficient, and time allocated to using technology may displace traditional classroom instruction and educational activities at home. However, much of the evidence in the schooling literature is based on interventions that provide supplemental funding for technology or additional class time, and thus favor finding positive effects. Nonetheless, studies of ICT and CAI in schools produce mixed evidence with a pattern of null results. Notable exceptions to this pattern occur in studies of developing countries and CAI interventions that target math rather than language. In the context of home use, early studies based on multivariate and instrumental variables approaches tend to find large positive (and in a few cases negative) effects while recent studies based on randomized control experiments tend to find small or null effects. Early research focused on developed countries while more recently several experiments have been conducted in developing countries. JEL Classification: I2
Mometasone furoate in the treatment of vulvar lichen sclerosus: could its formulation influence efficacy, tolerability and adherence to treatment?

PURPOSE
To assess the effectiveness, tolerability, and convenience of the cream formulation of mometasone furoate 0.1% (MMF) in the treatment of active vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) and to compare the cream with the ointment formulation.


METHODS
The following efficacy parameters were assessed in 27 VLS patients treated with MMF cream for 12 weeks (group A): (i) response rate, (ii) percentage of patients achieving an improvement from baseline of ≥75% in subjective and objective scores, and (iii) mean reduction in subjective and objective scores. These efficacy assessments, as well as those regarding safety and adherence, were compared with the assessments recorded among 37 VLS patients treated with MMF ointment (group B).


RESULTS
59.3% (group A) and 78.4% (group B) of patients were considered responders; 44.4% and 40.7% of patients in group A and 54.1% and 45.9% in group B achieved an improvement of at least 75% in subjective and objective scores, respectively. MMF ointment obtained a significantly higher improvement in symptom scores in comparison with the cream formulation.


CONCLUSIONS
MMF in ointment formulation seems to be more effective in treating active VLS in comparison with MMF cream. Both formulations are well tolerated and there is no difference in patient adherence and satisfaction.
Neural Network-Based Coronary Heart Disease Risk Prediction Using Feature Correlation Analysis

Background
Of the machine learning techniques used in predicting coronary heart disease (CHD), neural network (NN) is popularly used to improve performance accuracy.


Objective
Even though NN-based systems provide meaningful results based on clinical experiments, medical experts are not satisfied with their predictive performances because NN is trained in a “black-box” style.


Method
We sought to devise an NN-based prediction of CHD risk using feature correlation analysis (NN-FCA) using two stages. First, the feature selection stage, which makes features acceding to the importance in predicting CHD risk, is ranked, and second, the feature correlation analysis stage, during which one learns about the existence of correlations between feature relations and the data of each NN predictor output, is determined.


Result
Of the 4146 individuals in the Korean dataset evaluated, 3031 had low CHD risk and 1115 had CHD high risk. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the proposed model (0.749 ± 0.010) was larger than the Framingham risk score (FRS) (0.393 ± 0.010).


Conclusions
The proposed NN-FCA, which utilizes feature correlation analysis, was found to be better than FRS in terms of CHD risk prediction. Furthermore, the proposed model resulted in a larger ROC curve and more accurate predictions of CHD risk in the Korean population than the FRS.
