y Abstract Future research directions in Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) include the ability to extract an overlying concept relating useful data. Current limitations involve the search complexity to nd that concept and what it means to be \useful." The Pattern Theory research crosses over in a natural way to the aforementioned domain. The goal of this paper is threefold. First, we prese...

Recent work in Distributed Feature Composition architecture has shown that a modular, compositional architecture of feature logic can lead to successful management of feature interaction. It can also promote rapid deployment of new services and third party innovation in a communication network. ECLIPSE is an implementation of DFC that focuses on Voice over IP (VoIP) and multimedia over IP. In E...

Snow surface-to-air exchange of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) was measured using a modified Teflon fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) dynamic flux chamber (DFC) in a remote, open site in Potsdam, New York. Sampling was conducted during the winter months of 2011. The inlet and outlet of the DFC were coupled with a Tekran Model 2537A mercury (Hg) vapor analyzer using a Tekran Model 1110 two p...

In cases where pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical candidates are involved in drug facilitated crimes (DFC), like organ theft, robbery, rape and suicides, the analysis of drug powders or solution residues found in crime scenes may give idea on what the victims have ingested. An easy and fast simultaneous determination of 7 drugs; GHB (γ-hydroxybutyrate), GBL (γ-butyrolactone), norketamine, ketam...

The role of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinatocobalt(II) ([Co(tpp)]) as a catalyst on molecular oxygen (O(2)) reduction by ferrocene (Fc) and its two derivatives, 1,1'-dimethylferrocene (DFc) and decamethylferrocene (DMFc) at a polarized water|1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface has been studied. The water|DCE interface essentially acts as a proton pump controlled by the Galvani potential differ...

In an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based brain-computer interface (BCI), motor imagery has been successfully used as a communication strategy. Motor imagery causes detectable amplitude changes in certain frequency bands of EEGs, which are dubbed event-related desynchronization\synchronization. The frequency components that give effective discrimination between different types of motor imagery are...
