Active-databases are a budding technology where rule-based expert systems can be developed in tight integration with database management systems. This paper presents VenusIDS: an active database component of the Network Exploitation Detection Analyst Assistant (NEDAA) developed as an enhancement to the analysis layer of a two-layer distributed network intrusion detection system using the VenusD...

Let (X, Y ) be a random pair taking values in Rp × R. In the socalled single-index model, one has Y = f?(θ?TX) + W , where f? is an unknown univariate measurable function, θ? is an unknown vector in Rd, and W denotes a random noise satisfying E[W |X] = 0. The single-index model is known to offer a flexible way to model a variety of high-dimensional real-world phenomena. However, despite its rel...

We present a novel mathematical model to study the mechanical properties of endovascular stents in their expanded state. The model is based on the theory of slender curved rods. Stent struts are modeled as linearly elastic curved rods that satisfy the kinematic and dynamic contact conditions at the vertices where the struts meet. A weak formulation for the stent problem is defined and a Finite ...

Carotid stenosis is generally associated with high risks of stroke and vascular events. In asymptomatic and symptomatic patients, with or without revascularization, optimal managements of carotid artery stenosis require the use of medications or lifestyle modifications (stopping smoking and monitoring hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes) to control the processes associated with atheroma ...

OBJECTIVE The long-term impact of prior antidepressant exposure on the subsequent course of bipolar illness remains controversial. METHOD 139 outpatients (mean age, 42 years) with bipolar I disorder diagnosed by DSM-IV criteria had a detailed retrospective examination of their prior course of illness on the National Institute of Mental Health Life Chart Method. Number of prior antidepressant ...
