OBJECTIVE To determine whether short-time, real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) has long-term salutary glycemic effects in patients with type 2 diabetes who are not on prandial insulin. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a randomized controlled trial of 100 adults with type 2 diabetes who were not on prandial insulin. This study compared the effects of 12 weeks of intermittent R...

The large corpus of real time magnetic resonance image sequences of the vocal tract during speech production that was recently acquired and can be referred to as MRI-TIMIT, provides us with a unique platform for systematically studying articulatory dynamics. Compared to previously collected articulatory datasets, e.g., using articulography or X-rays, MRI-TIMIT is a rich source of information fo...

Architecture-based runtime management (ARM) is a promising approach for Internetware systems. The key enablement of ARM is runtime architecture infrastructure (RAI) that maintains the causal connection between runtime systems and architectural models. An RAI is uneasy to implement and, more importantly, specific to the given system and model. In this paper, we propose a model-driven approach fo...

A quantitative structure property relationship investigation was performed on the lipophilicities of a number of hydantoin derivatives as measured by the RP-HPLC retention times provided by Scholl et al. (Scholl, S.; Koch, A.; Henning, D.; Kempter, G.; Kleinpeter, E. Struct. Chem. 1999, 10, 355-366). The lipophilicities (S) were correlated with the theoretical molecular descriptors of the hydan...

Trust Management (TM) is a novel flexible approach to access control in distributed systems, where the access control decisions are based on the policy statements, called credentials, made by different principals and stored in a distributed manner. In this chapter we present an introduction to TM focusing on the role-based trust-management framework RT. In particular, we focus on RT0, the simpl...

The Real-Time Message Passing Interface (MPI/RT) is a communication layer middleware standard that is aimed at providing guaranteed Quality of Service for data transfers on high performance networks. It poses “middleout” requirements both on applications and on the operating system. In this paper, we consider the “middledown” issues by modifying a POSIX compliant operating system in order to su...

In this paper, we propose and present Real-Time Channel-based Re ective Memory (RT-CRM) { a useful programming model and middleware communication service for constructing distributed real-time industrial monitoring and control applications on commercially available open systems. RT-CRM provides remote real-time data re ection abstraction using a simple writer-push model. This writer-push approa...

The rapid rise in size and complexity of VLSI circuits has stimulated a need to handle fault simulation at higher levels of abstraction. We outline an RT-level fault simulation techniqueion. We outline an RT-level fault simulation technique that utilizes symbolic data to group fault effects. Experimental results show that the proposed methodology provides superior speed-ups and accurate fault c...
