Make more knowledge even in less time every day. You may not always spend your time and money to go abroad and get the experience and knowledge by yourself. Reading is a good alternative to do in getting this desirable knowledge and experience. You may gain many things from experiencing directly, but of course it will spend much money. So here, by reading fundamentals of database systems 3rd ed...

Recent technological developments enabled users to create detailed log files containing their everyday activities. These log files, also referred to as lifelogs, open gates for interesting new research challenges, such as the identification of long-term and short-term user interests and behaviour. In the context of this workshop, we focus on an emerging challenge, namely the creation of lifelon...

The 2nd International Congress on Hematological Disorders: (New Challenges in Diagnosis and Treatment)

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a major threat for liver transplant recipients. We prospectively studied SSIs after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) at Kyoto University Hospital from April 2001 to March 2002 (1st period) and from January 2011 to June 2012 (2nd period). We investigated the epidemiology of SSIs after LDLT and determined the differences between the two periods. A tota...

Several people working on the 2nd floor of an office building complained about disturbing floor vibrations. The building consists of five floors. In the contrary to the other floors, the 2nd floor slab has no floor-to-ceiling secondary walls neither beneath nor on top of the slab. The modal parameters of four floors were identified using ambient vibration testing (AVT)-technology and a 5-kg-med...

Blood HbA1c determination is a powerful tool for the evaluation and management of patients with diabetes mellitus. Many HbA1c analytical methods demonstrate bias in samples from patients with hemoglobinopathies. This study evaluated the analytical performance of Roche Diagnostics' 1st and 2nd generation HbA1c assays in patients with or without hemoglobinopathies whose HbA1c levels were elevated...

introduction of the first 2nd generation DNA sequencing method five years ago heralded a paradigm shift and propelled us into a new era [1]. In contrast to the Sanger sequencing method that dominated DNA sequencing for nearly 30 years [2], 2nd generation sequencing analyzes clonal representations of the input DNA. Using highly parallel processing in microfluidic devices and stepwise addition of...

There have been extensive studies on stream data management and the processing of continuous queries in stream data. For a description of synopsis data structures for stream data, see Gibbons and Matias [GM98]. Vitter introduced the notion of reservoir sampling as a way to select an unbiased random sample of n elements without replacement from a larger ordered set of size N , where N is unknown...

This is the second edition of a textbook first published in 1995. Like the first, it developed out of the Harvard Program in Psychiatric Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Like all second editions, it has expanded: from 483 pages to 722 and from 20 chapters to 24. Continuity has been maintained between the editions by having most of the original authors provide updates to their chapters. This is c...
