Most of the grid projects are characterized by accessing huge volumes of data. For supporting this feature, different data services have arisen in the “grid” world. One of the most successful initiatives in that field is GridFTP, a high-performance transfer protocol, based on FTP but optimized for wide area networks. Although GridFTP provides reasonably good performance, GridFTP servers keep co...

introduction the dynamic state index (dsi) is being introduced on the basis of a newly developed theory termed the energy-vorticity theory (evt). as a weather index, the dsi can describe the temporal sequence and intensity of areas of high and low pressure; but as a climate index, it can also diagnose climate change based on the variation in solar radiation or the influences of friction. in phy...

4th Industrial Revolution technologies that blur the lines across physical, digital and biological domains have entered seed systems. The digitalisation of seeds' DNA is generating unstoppable growth big data on sequence information (DSI). paper analyses legal vacuum for DSI, which aggravates dematerialisation fragmentation seed, rendering it easier to control under legal, technological, social...

The Baltic Proper shows many signs of eutrophication. Nutrient changes over time have been discernable, and also within the Sea there are large spatial patterns. Present study analyses the spatial patterns of dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus as well as dissolved silicate (DSi) in the euphotic zone for the period 1990-2001. The focus is on the spatial heterogeneity with the aim to ide...

Reverse engineering binary code is notoriously difficult and, especially, understanding a binary’s dynamic data structures. Existing data structure analyzers are limited wrt. program comprehension: they do not detect complex structures such as skip lists, or lists running through nodes of different types such as in the Linux kernel’s cyclic doubly-linked list. They also do not reveal complex pa...

Electroencephalography (EEG) is typically viewed through the lens of spectral analysis. Recently, multiple lines of evidence have demonstrated that the underlying neuronal dynamics are characterized by scale-free avalanches. These results suggest that techniques from statistical physics may be used to analyze EEG signals. We utilized a publicly available database of fourteen subjects with wakin...

Many diffusion MRI researchers, including the Human Connectome Project (HCP), acquire data using multishell (e.g., WU-Minn consortium) and diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) schemes (e.g., USC-Harvard consortium). However, these data sets are not readily accessible to high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) analysis methods that are popular in connectomics analysis. Here we introduce a ...

Retrograde synaptic signaling by endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids) is a recently discovered form of neuromodulation in the brain. In the basolateral amygdala (BLA), endocannabinoid signaling has been implicated in learning and memory, specifically in extinction of aversive memories. To examine retrograde endocannabinoid signaling in this brain region, BLA neurons were freshly isolated ...

conclusions the iranian version of the dsi had good psychometric properties and can be used to assess symptoms of hemodialysis patients. results the mean age of patients was 50.4 (sd = 15.72) years and % 61.1 of patients were male. the most commonly reported symptoms were fatigue, being irritable and nervous. divergent validity was mostly supported by the pattern of association between dsi and ...

In this paper we propose a method that smartly improves occlusion handling in stereo matching using trinocular stereo. The main idea is based on the assumption that any occluded region in a matched stereo pair (middle-left images) in general is not occluded in the opposite matched pair (middle-right images). Then two disparity space images (DSI) can be merged in one composite DSI. The proposed ...
