With the increasing sophistication of attacks, there is a need for network security monitoring systems that store and examine very large amounts of historical network flow data. An efficient storage infrastructure should provide both high insertion rates and fast data access. Traditional row-oriented Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) provide satisfactory query performance for netwo...

We map polygonally patterned ground formed in sublimation tills that overlie debris-covered glaciers in Mullins Valley and central Beacon Valley, in southern Victoria Land, Antarctica, and distinguish five morphological zones. Where the Mullins Valley debris-covered glacier debouches into Beacon Valley, polygonal patterning transitions from radial (orthogonal) intersections to non-oriented (hex...

Abstract: Flow induced crystallization of semi-crystalline polymers is an important issue in polymer science and engineering because the changes in morphology strongly affect the properties of polymer materials. In this study, a phase field technique considering polymer characteristics was established for modeling and predicting the resulting morphologies. The considered crystallization process...

Optimizing compilers for function-oriented and object-oriented languages exploit type and flow information for efficient implementation. Although type and flow information (both control and data flow) are inseparably intertwined, compilers usually compute and represent them separately. Partially, this has been a result of the usual polymorphic type systems using ∀ and ∃ quantifiers, which are d...

This study introduces the necessary ontological redesign regarding patient-oriented frameworks. Different national healthcare frameworks around the world as well as semantic gaps have been discovered and demonstrate the need for a new healthcare management framework. This study's Patient-Oriented Management and Reporting framework (POMR framework) will introduce and measure the concept of value...

I argue that in quantum field theory: i) the scheme-invariant area ∆a of the graph of the effective beta function between the fixed points defines the length of the RG flow; ii) the minimum of ∆a in the space of flows connecting the same UV and IR fixed points defines the (oriented) distance between the fixed points; iii) in even dimensions, the distance between the fixed points is equal to ∆a ...

Recent work has shown equivalences between various type systems and flow logics. Ideally, the translations upon which such equivalences are based should be faithful in the sense that information is not lost in round-trip translations from flows to types and back or from types to flows and back. Building on the work of Nielson & Nielson and of Palsberg & Pavlopoulou, we present the first faithfu...

Both surface contours and texture patterns can provide strong cues to the three-dimensional shape of a surface in space. Many of the most perceptually salient texture patterns have a strong flowlike structure, resulting from the directional nature of the surface textures from which they project. Under the minimal assumption that an oriented surface texture is homogeneous, the texture flow on a ...
