This study examined the psychometric properties of the Conduct Problems Risk Screen (CPRS), a seven-item screen derived from DSM-IV-TR criteria that can be completed by parents or teachers. The sample consisted of 4,752 Australian fiveto nine-year-old primary school children. The results showed the parent and teacher screens had very good internal consistency and high convergent validity with o...

This memo discusses strategies for address assignment of the existing IP address space with a view to conserve the address space and stem the explosive growth of routing tables in default-route-free routers. Table of

An enterprise federated architecture intends to mirror the structure of the organisation, aiming to provide better support for both new and legacy applications within a distributed environment and facilitating data exchange between applications to support information integration. Under this architectural form, the organisation’s information systems are separated out into autonomous co-operating...

Border Gateway Protocol, an important inter-domain routing protocol, has a number of vulnerabilities. Little is known about how BGP actually performs in today’s Internet. We designed a framework, BGP Assistant, to monitor and analyze BGP traffic. Number of BGP Updates and Route convergence time are used to characterize BGP behavior. Preliminary results with the Oregon Route Views BGP show that ...

BACKGROUND Native T1 mapping is a cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) technique that associates with markers of fibrosis and strain in hemodialysis patients. The reproducibility of T1 mapping in hemodialysis patients, prone to changes in fluid status, is unknown. Accurate quantification of myocardial fibrosis in this population has prognostic potential. METHODS Using 3 Tesla CMR, we repor...

with On-Demand ToS and Policy Resolution Cengiz Alaettino glu, A. Udaya Shankar Department of Computer Science University of Maryland College Park, Maryland 20742 fca,[email protected] Abstract Traditional inter-domain routing protocols based on superdomains maintain either \strong" or \weak" ToS and policy constraints for each visible superdomain. With strong constraints, a valid path may no...

On the inter-domain Internet today, the address prefix origin in our BGP operations has become a major security concern. This critical problem can be stated simply as “Is the originating Autonomous System (AS) authorized to advertise the destination address prefix?” In the long term maybe we will be able to prevent this problem by applying proposed solutions such as SBGP[1] or SoBGP[2]. However...

In this paper we consider the problem of constructing confidence intervals and lower bounds for the intraclass correlation coefficient in an interrater reliability study where the raters are randomly selected from a population of raters.The likelihood function of the interrater reliability is derived and simplified, and the profile likelihood based approach is readily available for computing th...

Rating scales for outcome variables produce categorical data which are often ordered and measurements from rating scales are not standardized. The purpose of this study is to apply commonly used and novel methods for paired ordered categorical data to two data sets with different properties and to compare the results and the conditions for use of these models. The two applications consist of a ...

Sediment Profile Imagery is a pollution monitoring technique that is widely used to evaluate whether the marine sediments provide the suitable habitat for benthic fauna. Currently, the SPI data is interpreted by human operators and as a consequence the results are inherently affected by intra and inter observer variability. SPI Analyser is a novel software environment that has been specially de...
