This study examines the impacts of two variables; the training data lengths (T) and the aggregation unit sizes (M); on the accuracy of the self-exciting point process (SEPP) model during crime prediction. A case study of three crime types in the South Chicago area is presented, in which different combinations of values of T and M are used for 100 daily consecutive crime predictions. The results...

Infectious diseases impair Se metabolism, and low Se status is associated with mortality risk in adults with critical disease. The Se status of neonates is poorly characterised, and a potential impact of connatal infection is unknown. We hypothesised that an infection negatively affects the Se status of neonates. We conducted an observational case-control study at three intensive care units at ...

Daily nutrition varies considerably among individuals. The number of vegetarians is increasing continuously due to ethical, environmental, religious or other reasons. There is growing concern over their nutritional status with respect to micronutrient deficiencies. Among the essential trace elements, Se is of prime importance as it is part of the active site in selenoproteins. European soil and...

A presente comunica98o versa sobre o SEPP, o Processo de Desenvolvimento, Produ98o e Manuten98o de Software para Sistemas de Telecomunica9Jes da SIEMENS. Pretende dar uma ideia global de um piano que se destina a projectos de grande envergadura, como e o caso do desenvolvimento de software para sistemas de telecomunica96es pOblicas (por exemplo, o conhecido sistema de comuta98o EWSD). Sera tamb...

In this work, a soft-elastic pulsation pump (SEPP) has been made and investigated. Here, 3D printing was used to make casting molds melt-removal method using wax employed. The SEPP of silicone rubber driven by an external squeezing mechanism. A one-way valve also which prevented backflow after the fluid squeezed out chamber. material characteristics including durability were examined. operating...

Selenium modifies inflammatory reactions in rodents and humans. The liver controls metabolism and transport of selenium via hepatically-derived SEPP (selenoprotein P). Intracellular SEPS (selenoprotein S) modifies endoplasmic-reticulum function and immune-cell activity. Polymorphisms in SEPS have been associated with cytokine levels and inflammatory diseases in a subset of clinical studies. In ...

We address the problem of Phylogenetic Placement, in which the objective is to insert short molecular sequences (called query sequences) into an existing phylogenetic tree and alignment on full-length sequences for the same gene. Phylogenetic placement has the potential to provide information beyond pure "species identification" (i.e., the association of metagenomic reads to existing species), ...

Fast and accurate estimation of soft error rate in VLSI circuits is an essential step in a soft error tolerant ASIC design. In order to have a cost e®ective protection against radiation e®ects in combinational logics, an accurate and fast method for identi ̄cation of most susceptive gates and paths is needed. In this paper, an e±cient, fast and accurate method for soft error propagation probabil...

This paper describes our experience with the design and implementation of a distributed debugger for C/PVM programs within the scope of the SEPP and HPCTI Copernicus projects. These projects aimed at the development of an integrated parallel software engineering environment based on a high-level graphical parallel programming model (GRAPNEL) and a set of associated tools supporting graphical ed...
