This paper presents a formal method for characterizing the potential outliers from the data signature projection of traffic data set using Non-Metric Multidimensional Scaling (nMDS) visualization. Previous work had only relied on visual inspection and the subjective nature of this technique may derive false and invalid potential outliers. The identification of correct potential outliers had alr...

This paper newly proposes a novel round-based synchronous system suffering crash and probabilistic omission failures. In this model, a novel class of adversaries, called p-probabilistic omission adversary (pPOA) is introduced. In addition to the ability of complete control of the crash-failure behavior, p-POA can select any subset of all transmitted messages as omission candidates. Then, each m...

In this piece of industrial application, we focus on the identification of omission in statement pairs for an online news platform. We compare three annotation schemes, namely two crowdsourcing schemes and an expert annotation. The simplest of the two crowdsourcing approaches yields a better annotation quality than the more complex one. We use a dedicated classifier to assess whether the annota...

Over the past 20 years, programmers have embraced dynamically-typed programming languages. By now, they have also come to realize that programs in these languages lack reliable type information for software engineering purposes. Gradual typing addresses this problem; it empowers programmers to annotate an existing system with sound type information on a piecemeal basis. This paper presents an i...

Laissez-faire leadership has received much less attention than have the 3 transactional leadership dimensions of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). However, laissez-faire leadership has shown strong negative relationships with various leadership criteria, and the absence of leadership (laissez-faire leadership) may be just as important as is the presence of other types of leadershi...

the aim of this study was to evaluate blocked, random, gradual incremental and gradual decremental practice schedules on the acquisition and retention of different types of basketball pass (overhead, hand chest , single arm with dominate hand) in 8-10-year-old girls. for this purpose, 60 female students of second, third and fourth grade of elementary school were voluntarily selected and randoml...

background: cutaneous leishmaniasis is one of the most important parasitic diseases in humans. in this disease, one of the responsible organisms is leishmania major, which is transmitted by sandfly vector. there are specific differences in biochemical profiles and metabolite pathways in logarithmic and stationary phases of leishmania parasites. in the present study, 1h nmr spectroscopy was used...

To determine whether the accuracy of the genetic evaluations of sires can be assessed by the presence of extreme daughter records, we studied herd-years with records from first-crop daughters of 217 Holstein bulls that were not sampled by artificial insemination (AI) organizations but that later entered AI. The presence of outliers for standardized milk yield was determined within herd-year. Ou...
