We des ribe a system for personalizing a set of medi al journal arti les (possibly reated as the output of a sear h engine) by sele ting those do uments that spe i ally mat h a patient under are. Key element in our approa h is the use of targeted parts of the ele troni patient re ord to serve as a readily available user model for the personalization task. We dis uss several enhan ements to a TF...

We give upper bounds for the differential Nullstellensatz in the case of ordinary systems of differential algebraic equations over the field of complex numbers. Let x be a set of n differential variables, f a finite family of differential polynomials in the ring C{x} and f ∈ C{x} another polynomial which vanishes at every solution of the differential equation system f = 0 in any differentially ...

This paper investigates ways to explore the between frame correlation of shape information within the framework of an operationally rate-distortion (ORD) optimized coder. Contours are approximated both by connected second-order spline segments, each deened by three consecutive control points, and by segments of the motion-compensated reference contours. Consecutive control points are then encod...

This paper describes a spatio-temporal hot spot identification program submitted to the ACM SIGSPATIAL Cup 2016. The advent of large-scale spatio-temporal data (e.g., vehicle tracking data), together with the availability of inmemory distributed computing framework (i.e., Spark), provides an opportunity to quickly identify unusual patterns in a statistically manner, also called hot spots. We pr...

Let ƒ: N —• M be a C°° map of oriented compact manifolds, and let L be an oriented closed submanifold of codimension q > 1 in M. If w is a closed form Poincaré dual to L, we show that f~L, with multiplicities counted, is Poincaré dual to ƒ *w in N and is even meaningful on a "secondary" level. This leads to generalized versions of the Hopf invariant, the Hopf index theorem and the Bezout theore...

Let a(x), b(x), p(x) be formal power series in the indeterminate x over C (i.e., elements of the ring C [[x]] of such series) such that ord a(x) = 0, ord p(x) = 1 and p(x) is embeddable into an analytic iteration group (π(s, x))s∈C in C [[x]]. By a covariant embedding of the linear functional equation φ(p(x)) = a(x)φ(x) + b(x), (L) (for the unknown series φ(x) ∈ C [[x]]) with respect to (π(s, x...

Deiodination is the foremost pathway of thyroid hormone metabolism not only in quantitative terms but also because thyroxine (T(4)) is activated by outer ring deiodination (ORD) to 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T(3)), whereas both T(4) and T(3) are inactivated by inner ring deiodination (IRD) to 3,3',5-triiodothyronine and 3,3'-diiodothyronine, respectively. These reactions are catalyzed by three io...

Types of code changes in an object oriented library are described. A formal model for capturing and inferencing on the changes to identify aaected classes is described. The model consists of three types of diagrams: the object relation diagram (ORD), the block branch diagram (BBD), and the object state diagram (OSD). An ORD describes the inheritance, aggregation, and association relationships b...

To Dong-Sik Kim on his 62nd birthday We try to generalize an explicit construction for an orthonormal system of eigen-functions of the Vladimirov operator on L 2 (Q n p) which was originally given by Vladimirov (1988). Also the multiwavelet analysis can be considered as the p-adic spectral analysis in L 2 (Q n p), using in part the recent work of Kozyrev (2002). denote the ring of integers, the...

The complex linear response function, which can be employed for calculations of second-order molecular properties in regions of strong absorption, is here extended to encompass the mixed electric-dipole-magnetic-dipole polarizability. The mixed electric-dipole-magnetic-dipole polarizability determines the optical rotation and, when absorption is taken into account, the full anomalous optical ro...
