Volume 9, Number 3, Summer 2007, pages 151–158 Abstract: Video self-modeling (VSM) is a relatively new technique for modifying and training behaviors and has accumulated a relatively impressive track record in the research literature. Using only positive examples, VSM gives persons the opportunity to view themselves performing a task just beyond their present functioning level via creative edit...

This paper describes user-level optimisations for virtual shared memory (VSM) systems and demonstrates performance improvements for three scientiic kernel codes written in Fortran-S and running on a 30 node prototype distributed memory architecture. These optimisations can be applied to all consistency models and directory schemes, whether in hardware or software, which employ an invalidation b...

Traditional methods of measuring magnetization in magnetic fluid samples, such as vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), are typically limited to maximum field strengths of about 1 T. This work demonstrates the ability of MRI to measure the magnetization associated with two commercial MRI contrast agents at 3 T by comparing analytical solutions to experimental imaging results for the field patter...

We examined the effect of hypoxia on proliferation and osteopontin (OPN) expression in cultured rat aortic vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells. In addition, we determined whether hypoxia-induced increases in OPN and cell proliferation are altered under hyperglycemic conditions. Quiescent cultures of VSM cells were exposed to hypoxia (3% O(2)) or normoxia (18% O(2)) in a serum-free medium, and ce...

Personalized search engines must be able to cope with various user preferences, retrieving the best matches to a query. For SQL and XML applications new methods for such preference-based searches have been implemented recently. Here we adopt this approach to keyword search in full-text search engines. We propose to augment the vector space model (VSM) by preference constructors having an intuit...

We make the case for virtual shared memory (VSM) for supporting future many-core chips. VSM is a shared memory abstraction implemented over distributed memory by a hypervisor, providing the operating system direct access to all memory in the system. VSM on a distributed-memory system, such as a many-core chip with local memory associated with each core or small group of cores, provides a non-un...

This study determined the effects of hypoxia on diameter, vascular smooth muscle (VSM) transmembrane potential (E(m)), and vascular cAMP levels for in vitro cannulated skeletal muscle resistance arteries (gracilis arteries) from Sprague-Dawley rats fed a low-salt (LS) or a high-salt (HS) diet. Arterial diameter and VSM E(m) were measured in response to hypoxia, iloprost, cholera toxin, forskoli...

The vector space model (VSM) emerged for almost three decades as one of the most effective approaches in the area of Information Retrieval (IR), thanks to its good compromise between expressivity, effectiveness and simplicity. Although Information Retrieval and Information Filtering (IF) undoubtedly represent two related research areas, the use of VSM in Information Filtering is much less analy...
