Semantic assets and the agreements associated with them are essential elements for organisations to understand the meaning of the information they exchange – without them this information would be of little use. In order to facilitate the access of public administrations in Europe to reusable semantic assets, the Interoperability Solutions for European Public Administrations Programme of the Eu...

The sequences of azurin and titin, sandwich proteins, are analyzed based on inter-residue average distance statistics. A kind of predicted contact map based on inter-residue average distance statistics (Average Distance Map, ADM) is used to pinpoint regions of possible compact regions for two proteins. We compare predicted compact regions with the positions of the residues with experimental hig...

6 We study the minimization of ADMs (Add-Drop Multiplexers) in optical WDM bidirectional 7 rings considering symmetric shortest path routing and all-to-all unitary requests. We precisely for8 mulate the problem in terms of graph decompositions, and state a general lower bound for all the 9 values of the grooming factor C and N, the size of the ring. We first study exhaustively the cases 10 C = ...

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSdForty-eight children aged less than 12 years (mean 8.8 years) with type 1 diabetes were randomly assigned to one of two study groups, a control group (conventional care without technology) or an experimental group (conventional care with technology), and followed for 12 months. Families in the experimental group were given the Automated Diabetes Management System (AD...

The role of vegetation in mitigating the effects of PM(10) pollution has been highlighted as one potential benefit of urban greenspace. An integrated modelling approach is presented which utilises air dispersion (ADMS-Urban) and particulate interception (UFORE) to predict the PM(10) concentrations both before and after greenspace establishment, using a 10 x 10 km area of East London Green Grid ...

Luc Ceuppens Calient Networks Abstract Realizing the important role that photonic switches can play in data-centric networks, a number of leading router and optical equipment vendors are collaborating to combine the control plane of MPLS with the point-and-click provisioning capabilities of photonic switches. This document describes how MPλS (Multi Protocol Lambda Switching) will enable the ser...

Medication errors occur frequently and are associated with significant clinical and financial consequences.1 Health care technologies are increasingly being introduced into the health care system to improve the efficiency, quality, and safety of medical care. Because medication errors can occur at any point during the medication use process (see example in Figure 7-1 on page 104), the implement...

We address the problem of traffic grooming in WDM rings with all-to-all uniform unitary traffic. We want to minimize the total number of SONET add-drop multiplexers (ADMs) required. This problem corresponds to a partition of the edges of the complete graph into subgraphs, where each subgraph has at most C edges (where C is the grooming ratio) and where the total number of vertices has to be min...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible association between occurrence of soft tissue sarcomas in Verona (Italy) and residence near a steel foundry, whose emissions of dioxin-like compounds may be relevant. Exposure to total suspended particulate (TSP) emitted from the plant as estimated by ADMS-urban dispersion model was used as an indirect index of exposure to dioxin-like co...
