We present the Vida family of abstractions of anonymous communication systems, model them probabilistically and apply Bayesian inference to extract patterns of communications and user profiles. The first is a very generic Vida Black-box model that can be used to analyse information about all users in a system simultaneously, while the second is a simpler Vida Red-Blue model, that is very effici...

In this paper, we present an approach for urban-centered and calendar-oriented surfing of web contents according to the personal preferences of a user profile and interests. Real examples related to the city of Milan are discussed in the paper to illustrate the technical peculiarities of the proposed approach.

This paper proposes an emergency planning method of urban distribution networks based on microgrid which takes extreme disaster situation into account. First, it presents emergency scenario classification and load classification methods. And then an emergency planning model of urban distribution networks based on microgrid is set up. This model can not only apply to the traditional peak load pl...

A load estimation algorithm based on k-means cluster analysis was developed. The algorithm applies cluster centres – of previously clustered load profiles – and distance functions to estimate missing and future measurements. Canberra, Manhattan, Euclidean, and Pearson correlation distances were investigated. Several case studies were implemented using daily and segmented load profiles of aggreg...

objective: diabetes mellitus is defined as a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both or insulin resistance. curcumin inhibits nf-κb signaling pathway. the aim of this study is evaluation of the effect of nano-curcumin on hba1c, fast blood glucose and lipid profile in diabetic patients. materials and methods:...

introduction: the dominant approach in the etiology and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (asd) is a behavioral approach. proponents of the behavioral model believe that children with autism in access to capabilities in achieving love, empathy, language and creative thinking, have significant fundamental defects.  instead model-based development of individual differences relationship offers...

organic acid occur as physiologic intermediates in variety of intracellular metabolic pathways, such as catabolism of aminoacid, mitochondrial β oxidation of fatty acids, tricarboxilic acid cycle, and cholestrol and fatty acid biosynthesis. the classical organic aciduria represent the pursuit of abnormalities of aminoacid degradation beyond deamination their diagnostic hallmark is an accumulati...

the original biophysical profile is time consuming and costly. this study was performed to compare diagnostic value of the original fetal biophysical profile to the modified biophysical profile. patients were selected from high risk pregnancies referred for fetal assessment and were randomly assigned to two groups. the measures of outcomes were perinatal mortality, cesarean section for abnormal...
