An implementation of logical analysis of dataPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 292 - 306
Cited by: Papers (59)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (661 KB)
Describes a new, logic-based methodology for analyzing observations. The key features of this "logical analysis of data" (LAD) methodology are the discovery of minimal sets of features that are necessary for explaining all observations and the detection of hidden patterns in the data that are capable of distinguishing observations describing "positive" outcome events from "negative" outcome events. Combinations of such patterns are used for developing general classification procedures. An implementation of this methodology is described in this paper, along with the results of numerical experiments demonstrating the classification performance of LAD in comparison with the reported results of other procedures. In the final section, we describe three pilot studies on applications of LAD to oil exploration, psychometric testing and the analysis of developments in the Chinese transitional economy. These pilot studies demonstrate not only the classification power of LAD but also its flexibility and capability to provide solutions to various case-dependent problems. View full abstract»
Optimal data placement on disks: a comprehensive solution for different technologiesPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 324 - 330
Cited by: Papers (5) | Patents (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (224 KB)
The problem of optimally placing data on disks (ODP) to maximize disk-access performance has long been recognized as important. Solutions to this problem have been reported for some widely available disk technologies, such as magnetic CAV and optical CLV disks. However, important new technologies such as multizoned magnetic disks, have been recently introduced. For such technologies no formal solution to the ODP problem has been reported. In this paper, we first identify the fundamental characteristics of disk-device technologies which influence the solution to the ODP problem. We develop a comprehensive solution to the problem that covers all currently available disk technologies. We show how our comprehensive solution can be reduced to the solutions for existing disk technologies, contributing thus a solution to the ODP problem for multizoned disks. Our analytical solution has been validated through simulations and through its reduction to the known solutions for particular disks. Finally, we study how the solution for multizoned disks is affected by the disk and data characteristics View full abstract»
A generalized definition of rough approximations based on similarityPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 331 - 336
Cited by: Papers (232)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (136 KB)
This paper proposes new definitions of lower and upper approximations, which are basic concepts of the rough set theory. These definitions follow naturally from the concept of ambiguity introduced in this paper. The new definitions are compared to the classical definitions and are shown to be more general, in the sense that they are the only ones which can be used for any type of indiscernibility or similarity relation View full abstract»
Hierarchical error detection in a software implemented fault tolerance (SIFT) environmentPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 203 - 224
Cited by: Papers (8)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2536 KB)
Proposes a hierarchical error detection framework for a software-implemented fault tolerance (SIFT) layer of a distributed system. A four-level error detection hierarchy is proposed in the context of Chameleon, a software environment for providing adaptive fault tolerance in an environment of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) system components and software. The design and implementation of a software-based distributed signature monitoring scheme, which is central to the proposed four-level hierarchy, is described. Both intra-level and inter-level optimizations that minimize the overhead of detection and are capable of adapting to runtime requirements are proposed. The paper presents results from a prototype implementation of two levels of the error detection hierarchy and results of a detailed simulation of the overall environment. The results indicate a substantial increase in availability due to the detection framework and help in understanding the tradeoffs between overhead and coverage for different combinations of techniques View full abstract»
An architecture for survivable coordination in large distributed systemsPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 187 - 202
Cited by: Papers (24)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (348 KB)
Coordination among processes in a distributed system can be rendered very complex in a large-scale system where messages may be delayed or lost and when processes may participate only transiently or behave arbitrarily, e.g. after suffering a security breach. In this paper, we propose a scalable architecture to support coordination in such extreme conditions. Our architecture consists of a collection of persistent data servers that implement simple shared data abstractions for clients, without trusting the clients or even the servers themselves. We show that, by interacting with these untrusted servers, clients can solve distributed consensus, a powerful and fundamental coordination primitive. Our architecture is very practical, and we describe the implementation of its main components in a system called Fleet View full abstract»
Justification for inclusion dependency normal formPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 281 - 291
Cited by: Papers (9)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (216 KB)
Functional dependencies (FDs) and inclusion dependencies (INDs) are the most fundamental integrity constraints that arise in practice in relational databases. In this paper, we address the issue of normalization in the presence of FDs and INDs and, in particular, the semantic justification for an inclusion dependency normal form (IDNF), which combines the Boyce-Codd normal form with the restriction on the INDs that they be noncircular and key-based. We motivate and formalize three goals of database design in the presence of FDs and INDs: noninteraction between FDs and INDs, elimination of redundancy and update anomalies, and preservation of entity integrity. We show that (as for FDs), in the presence of INDs, being free of redundancy is equivalent to being free of update anomalies. Then, for each of these properties, we derive equivalent syntactic conditions on the database design. Individually, each of these syntactic conditions is weaker than IDNF and the restriction that an FD is not embedded in the right-hand side of an IND is common to three of the conditions. However, we also show that, for these three goals of database design to be satisfied simultaneously, IDNF is both a necessary and a sufficient condition View full abstract»
An efficient evaluation of a fuzzy equi-join using fuzzy equality indicatorsPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 225 - 237
Cited by: Papers (5)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (272 KB)
Proposes a new measure of fuzzy equality (FE) comparison based on the similarity of possibility distributions. We define a type of fuzzy equi-join based on the new FE comparison and allow threshold values to be associated with predicates of the join condition. A sort-merge join algorithm based on a partial order of intervals is used to evaluate the fuzzy equi-join. In order for the evaluation to be efficient, we identify various mappings, called FE indicators, that determine appropriate intervals for fuzzy data with different characteristics. Experimental results from our preliminary simulation of the algorithm show a significant improvement of efficiency when FE indicators are used with the sort-merge join algorithm View full abstract»
Consistent schema version removal: an optimization technique for object-oriented viewsPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 261 - 280
Cited by: Papers (1) | Patents (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (420 KB)
Powerful solutions enabling interoperability must allow applications to evolve and the requirements of shared databases to change, while minimizing such changes on other integrated applications. Several approaches have been proposed to make interoperability possible by using object-oriented techniques. These approaches may generate a large number of schema versions over time, resulting in an excessive build-up of classes and underlying object instances, not all being necessarily still in use. This results in degradation of system performance due to the view maintenance and the storage overhead costs. In this paper, we address the problem of removing obsolete view schemas. We characterize four potential problems of schema consistency that could be caused by the removal of a single derived class. We demonstrate that schema version removal is sensitive to the order in which individual classes are processed, and present a formal dependency model that captures all dependencies between classes as logic clauses and manipulates them to make decisions on class deletions and non-deletions while guaranteeing the consistency of the schema. We have also developed and proven consistent a dependency graph (DG) representation of the formal model. Lastly, we present a cost model for evaluating alternative removal patterns on a DG to assure selection of the optimal solution. The proposed techniques have been implemented in our Schema View Removal (SVR) tool. Lastly, we report experimental findings for applying our techniques for consistent schema version removal on the MultiView/TSE (Transparent Schema Evolution) system View full abstract»
The cost of recovery in message logging protocolsPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 160 - 173
Cited by: Papers (15) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (460 KB)
Past research in message logging has focused on studying the relative overhead imposed by pessimistic, optimistic and causal protocols during failure-free executions. In this paper, we give the first experimental evaluation of the performance of these protocols during recovery. Our results suggest that applications face a complex tradeoff when choosing a message logging protocol for fault tolerance. On the one hand, optimistic protocols can provide fast failure-free execution and good performance during recovery, but are complex to implement and can create orphan processes. On the other hand, orphan-free protocols either risk being slow during recovery (e.g. sender-based pessimistic and causal protocols) or incur a substantial overhead during failure-free execution (e.g. receiver-based pessimistic protocols). To address this tradeoff, we propose hybrid logging protocols, which are a new class of orphan-free protocols. We show that hybrid protocols perform within 2% of causal logging during failure-free execution and within 2% of receiver-based logging during recovery View full abstract»
Efficient subgraph isomorphism detection: a decomposition approachPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 307 - 323
Cited by: Papers (34)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1072 KB)
Graphs are a powerful and universal data structure useful in various subfields of science and engineering. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for subgraph isomorphism detection from a set of a priori known model graphs to an input graph that is given online. The new approach is based on a compact representation of the model graphs that is computed offline. Subgraphs that appear more than once within the same or within different model graphs are represented only once, thus reducing the computational effort to detect them in an input graph. In the extreme case where all model graphs are highly similar, the run-time of the new algorithm becomes independent of the number of model graphs. Both a theoretical complexity analysis and practical experiments characterizing the performance of the new approach are given View full abstract»
The PSTR/SNS scheme for real-time fault tolerance via active object replication and network surveillancePublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 145 - 159
Cited by: Papers (10)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2044 KB)
The TMO (Time-triggered Message-triggered Object) scheme was formulated as a major extension of the conventional object structuring schemes with the idealistic goal of facilitating general-form design and timeliness-guaranteed design of complex real-time application systems. Recently, as a new scheme for realizing TMO-structured distributed and parallel computer systems that are capable of both hardware and software fault tolerance, we have formulated and demonstrated the PSTR (Primary-Shadow TMO Replication) scheme. An important new extension of the PSTR scheme discussed in this paper is an integration of the PSTR scheme and a network surveillance (NS) scheme. This extension results in a significant improvement in the fault coverage and recovery time bound achieved. The NS scheme adopted is a recently-developed scheme that is effective in a wide range of point-to-point networks, and it is called the SNS (Supervisor-based Network Surveillance) scheme. The integration of the PSTR scheme and the SNS scheme is called the PSTR/SNS scheme. The recovery time bound of the PSTR/SNS scheme is analyzed on the basis of an implementation model that can be easily adapted to various commercial operating system kernels View full abstract»
Optimization and evaluation of disjunctive queriesPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 238 - 260
Cited by: Papers (8) | Patents (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (620 KB)
It is striking that the optimization of disjunctive queries-i.e. those which contain at least one OR-connective in the query predicate-has been vastly neglected in the literature, as well as in commercial systems. In this paper, we propose a novel technique, called bypass processing, for evaluating such disjunctive queries. The bypass processing technique is based on new selection and join operators that produce two output streams: the TRUE-stream with tuples satisfying the selection (join) predicate and the FALSE-stream with tuples not satisfying the corresponding predicate. Splitting the tuple streams in this way enables us to "bypass" costly predicates whenever the "fate" of the corresponding tuple (stream) can be determined without evaluating this predicate. In the paper, we show how to systematically generate bypass evaluation plans utilizing a bottom-up building-block approach. We show that our evaluation technique allows us to incorporate the standard SQL semantics of null values. For this, we devise two different approaches: one is based on explicitly incorporating three-valued logic into the evaluation plans; the other one relies on two-valued logic by "moving" all negations to atomic conditions of the selection predicate. We describe how to extend an iterator-based query engine to support bypass evaluation with little extra overhead. This query engine was used to quantitatively evaluate the bypass evaluation plans against the traditional evaluation techniques utilizing a CNFor DNF-based query predicate View full abstract»
Design and analysis of an integrated checkpointing and recovery scheme for distributed applicationsPublication Year: 2000 , Page(s): 174 - 186
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1172 KB)
An integrated checkpointing and recovery scheme which exploits the low latency and high coverage characteristics of a concurrent error detection scheme is presented. Message dependency, which is the main source of multistep rollback in distributed systems, is minimized by using a new message validation technique derived from the notion of concurrent error detection. The concept of a new global state matrix is introduced to track error checking and message dependency in a distributed system and assist in the recovery. The analytical model, algorithms and data structures to support an easy implementation of the new scheme are presented. The completeness and correctness of the algorithms are proved. A number of scenarios and illustrations that give the details of the analytical model are presented. The benefits of the integrated checkpointing scheme are quantified by means of simulation using an object-oriented test framework View full abstract»

Sector Insight: Deodorants and body sprays
marketingmagazine.co.uk, Wednesday, 13 July 2011 12:00AM
Brands are adding fragrances and formulations to attract young consumers and over-65s and counter a predicted slide in sales value, writes Jane Bainbridge.
While factors such as heatwaves and exercise increase people's use of deodorants, in a sector that has almost total penetration, sales are relatively robust.
In 2010, £548m-worth of sales were achieved, according to Mintel. The market has made very modest, but steady gains in the past few years and grew by 1% in 2010. This level of growth is similar to that seen in other personal care categories where penetration is very high, such as shampoo.
The vast majority of the most determinedly ungroomed of men still buy a certain number of toiletries: soap, toothpaste, shampoo and deodorant are the essentials for most people.
Eight out of 10 adults apply deodorant daily, with women slightly more conscientious users (94%) than men (87%), according to TGI.
With most products clearly aimed at either men or women it is not just the types of scent and packaging used that differentiate the choice of the genders. Men prefer spray formats, while the balance between sprays and roll-ons is almost equal for women. Sales of roll-on products account for less than a third of the value of aerosol formats across the sector.
The highest-volume users are teenage girls, young adults and 25- to 44-year-old men (TGI). In general, deodorant use decreases with age, with the over-65s the lowest-volume users. The ageing population is, therefore, some cause for concern for brands in this sector.
However some manufacturers are recognising the need to target older users. One example is Unilever's Dove, which has added spray and roll-ons to its Pro-Age range positioned as being specially formulated for ageing skin.
The leading manufacturers in this sector are the usual suspects from the toiletries giants: Unilever, Beiersdorf, Procter & Gamble and L'Oreal are all among the top players.
Unilever is by far the most-dominant manufacturer, with the Sure, Dove and Lynx brands in its portfolio. A committed advertiser, its products have a high level of recognition and it has carved out very specific brand positionings for each of its lines.
Consumers spend slightly more on male deodorants and body sprays than women's. This is in no small part a result of the strength of Lynx, which has established itself with its irreverent advertising personality as the brand of choice for teenagers and young men. The steady addition of new fragrance variants and witty TV and cinema ads championing 'The Lynx effect' line have kept the brand fresh.
Beiersdorf's Nivea and Henkel's Right Guard are the most notable non-Unilever brands. Nivea for Men sponsors the England football team, providing sporting credentials particularly useful to brands in the deodorant category. Last year it added Polar Blue spray to its Nivea for Men Silver Protect range and an antiperspirant roll-on to its Calm & Care offering, designed for use after shaving.
Henkel introduced Right Guard Xtreme Silver in April 2010, highlighting its anti-bacterial qualities. This product is aimed at combating the bacteria on skin that digest sweat and which cause body odour.
Procter & Gamble's Gillette and Old Spice brands have extensions in the deodorant and body-spray market as well as producing Lacoste and Hugo Boss under licence.
There are several smaller brands at the natural end of the market which all added launches to their ranges last year such as Melvita, Dr.Hauschka, L'Occitane en Provence and Australian brand Sukin Organics.
The concentration of NPD in this category has been on spray formats, with long-lasting formulations among the most popular (eight out of 10 product launches). New products aimed at men also outweighed those for women in 2010, according to Mintel GNPD.
With shopper behaviour increasingly entrenched in price promotions and the use of offers to stock up on their favourite deodorants, building value in the sector is difficult.
By 2015, sales are expected to reach £581m, up 6% on 2010, according to Mintel. With inflation this equates to an 11% decline over the period.

It is a great hotel, needing some refurbishment example wall paper needs to be changed, tv is really small, carpet needs to be changed. But the rooms are kept very clean and are really quiet. The rooms we stayed in did not have access to a lift but there are only 2 rooms like this, these rooms are really quite. Location is outstanding.

Very friendly, helpful, efficient staff. Excellent location, only a stone's throw from the Arc de Triomphe. Hotel very clean and well run. Ideal for a short stay in the City of Lights. I intend staying there again in the future. Bravo, Venere, on having the Neva on your list!

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
The one food that everyone associates with fun is the Italian staple of pizza! The flat breaded concoction topped with vegetables, sauce and meat - to the customer's liking - is associated with sporting events, casual meetings and birthday parties. It's impossible to not think of "fun" while eating a pizza. What's not widely known is that these pies are just as much fun to make as they are to eat. Why not make your next get-together a pizza-put-together night?

Published in Home & Food
Keywords: Pizza, toppings, ingredients, dough, party
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The success of any successful pizza is its bread. Pizza with delicious toppings with flat, uninspired bread whereas pizza with fluffy, delicious seasoned bread is the one that folks always remember. Kneading the dough, and tossing it high in the air in the manner of old-fashioned pizza parlors of yore adds to the fun. Health conscious consumers may want to opt for non-gluten dough. There are countless food options when making a pizza pie.
Once the round dough is completed, it's time to work on toppings. The number one topping is of course, cheese. All different assortments of cheese can be used: American, Swiss, provolone. This is of course, unless someone in your pizza party is lactose intolerant. A great substitute for cheese is a vegan option: Take walnuts, pulverize them into a fine powder and sprinkle in some sea salt. Wait until the pizza and all its toppings are cooked, and then sprinkle this over the completed dish. It tastes exactly like parmesan cheese, without any of the milk products!
Get your pizza party going -- by going here --
Right after cheese, the most popular topping is pepperoni, round circles of meaty delight! This topping often comes pre-sliced and is available at most markets. Place the slices liberally around the face of the pizza - you may even add a touch of whimsy by making a smiling face out of all the dots!
As for other toppings - the sky is the limit. Hamburger, sausage, anchovies, even slices of steak are recommended for meat lovers. Gaining in popularity is the "vegetarian" pizza, where the toppings are vegetables fruits and nuts.
One of the most surprising and delicious toppings this reviewer has found is cashew nuts. Chock full of chewy goodness, cashews are a welcome and unexpected taste treat on the top of any pizza.
The challenge is there: Create a delicious pizza that meets and exceeds the expectations of the people making it. Have fun!

"Interesting but untimely disappointing."
Yes I would. This is not my favorite book by Richard Dawkins but it is with out a doubt worth reading.
It was not that kind of book.
Not applicable
Apparently Richard Dawkins view of reality only including what has been definitively proved not what may be possible.
"One of my favorite Books of all time."
It was a powerfully written and an amazing story.
Yes the book provoked many emotions.
"Great book"
educational, interesting and Smart.
It was much like the works of Wilbur Smith and James Clavell.
He never distracted me from the story.
"Quite interesting but ultimately disappointing."
I don't think so
The book was specific to England.
I was intrigued with the premise of the book but was disappointed with the result. While reading I was often reminded of the way drunk old men tell stories. I think a more suitable title would have been (A RANDOM AND RAMBLING HISTORY OF ENGLAND)

BASEBALL: Pitchers continue to push radar gun to new heights, but how much faster can they get?
House's blueprint involves a number of exercises aimed a working both the front and back of the shoulder, using weighted balls from 2 pounds to 2 ounces in a program that began with an eye on keeping arms healthy.
The result: More than 2,300 athletes across the country, from Little League to the majors, are participating without a single injury.
The byproduct: The velocity of 10 pitchers presented in a study, on average, increased nearly 8 mph over a 12-month period and six pitchers from across the program showed up at spring training this year with a 100 mph fastball that they'd never shown before, House said.
Perhaps some arms have a little more heat in them.
"The gene pool is there," House said. "The scouts find the genes, organizations develop those genes, and with the money involved, they are preparing and protecting those genes better than ever before. ...
"What did they say about the four-minute mile? What did they say about the golfer and 300-yard drives?
"I wouldn't bet against the human gene pool."

Changing the world, one letter at a time…
Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type.
Helvetica encompasses the worlds of design, advertising, psychology, and communication, and invites us to take a second look at the thousands of words we see every day.
Interviewees in Helvetica include some of the most illustrious and innovative names in the design world, including Erik Spiekermann, Matthew Carter, Massimo Vignelli, Wim Crouwel, Hermann Zapf, Neville Brody, Stefan Sagmeister, Michael Bierut, David Carson, Paula Scher, Jonathan Hoefler, Tobias Frere-Jones, Experimental Jetset, Michael C. Place, Norm, Alfred Hoffmann, Mike Parker, Bruno Steinert, Otmar Hoefer, Leslie Savan, Rick Poynor, Lars Muller, and many more
Special Features:
95 minutes of bonus interviews English and German subtitles

As Amtrak upgrades its railcars and adds high-speed trains, and as lawmakers consider a transportation bill that calls for significantly greater investments in public transit, including rail, the U.S. rail manufacturing industry stands to undergo considerable growth in the coming years, according to a new study by Duke University prepared for the Apollo Alliance.
California, which is home to 22 rail-manufacturing facilities and is planning its own high-speed rail network, would reap major benefits from such a bill.
The report, "U.S. Manufacture of Rail Vehicles for Intercity Passenger Rail and Urban Transit: A Value Chain Analysis," looks at the manufacture of U.S. rail vehicles in six categories: intercity passenger, high-speed, regional, metro, light rail and streetcars. It finds that the U.S. rail supply chain includes at least 247 manufacturing locations in 35 states.
Although the U.S. rail manufacturing industry is small — the report's authors estimate its employment at between 10,000 and 14,000 employees — industry analysts expect it to grow due to pent-up demand for intercity and urban rail service.
"California has a real chance to be at the center of America's 21st century rail manufacturing industry," said Phil Angelides, chairman of the Apollo Alliance. "Our nation needs a new transportation policy that invests in expanded public transit and more energy-efficient transportation, including rail. Done right, these investments could mean a windfall of manufacturing jobs for Californians."
A similar study on transit bus manufacturing released by Duke researchers in October 2009 identified 14 transit bus-manufacturing facilities in California. These companies also would benefit from increased public transit investments in a new transportation bill.
The report's authors conclude that to grow the U.S. rail manufacturing industry will require committing much larger and more consistent U.S. investments to intercity passenger and urban transit rail. The report also recommends that Buy America provisions be improved through additional accountability mechanisms and the closing of loopholes.
Finally, it recommends that policymakers and manufacturers implement measures to capture higher-value activities in the supply chain, such as design and engineering, for the U.S. market. Currently those activities are mostly performed abroad.
The full report is available at apolloalliance.org and at cggc.duke.edu.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.
The decision comes after the agency conducted an analysis and product review period. Implementation of the project began in February and all work is expected to be completed by the end of April.
