As part of its mandate, ECDC identifies, assesses and communicates threats to human health from FWD [1]. ECDC launched in 2010 the first EPIS-FWD, a restricted web-based communication platform bringing together multidisciplinary experts to ensure the early detection and coordination of the response to multi-state outbreaks through the timely sharing of cross-sectorial information [2, 3]. Based ...

The phenomenological evidence of quantum statistical effects in parton physics is here briefly summarized, and the recent good results obtained by parameterizing the parton distributions in terms of Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistical functions are discussed. In this framework we study the modification of the scaling behaviour of parton distributions due to quantum statistical effects. In...

My research interests primarily lie at the interface of computational learning theory and human language learning. My dissertation focuses on computational models of human language learning, exploring the mechanism of language acquisition given the boundary conditions provided by linguistic representation and the time course of language acquisition. The framework I use conceptualizes a language...

Broadly speaking, my research interests lie at the intersection of the computer security, privacy, and distributed systems disciplines. In particular, I am interested in systems that facilitate secure interactions across multiple security domains while still preserving each individual’s privacy and autonomy. For my dissertation, I have focused mainly on the systems challenges surrounding the ad...

The JPEG committee has been continuing its activities on definition of international standards related to still image coding systems in order to prepare the ground for interoperable solutions, products and services, which make use of digital images. Currently, JPEG committee is pursuing three such efforts, namely, JPSearch, which deals with annotation, search and retrieval of digital images and...

early prediction of ongoing hemorrhage may reduce mortality via the earlier delivery of blood products, adequate orientation of the patient in a dedicated highly specialized and trained infrastructure, and by earlier correction of acute traumatic coagulopathy. we identified 14 scores or algorithms developed for the prediction of ongoing hemorrhage and the need for massive transfusion in severe ...

– A finite number of processes called roles, each of which is parametrized by agent identities and consists of a sequence of name generation, the nonces and a finite sequence of rules u ⇒ v, which should be read as “upon receiving a message matching u, send the corresponding message v.” – A description of intruder capabilities, sometimes given as a proof system, which we call hereafter the offl...

n engl j med 371;15 nejm.org october 9, 2014 1458 proach), we have posted a case at NEJM.org. As the series on fluid and electrolyte disorders goes forward, various cases will be posted 2 weeks before publication of an upcoming review article. These cases will be followed by questions about the diagnosis or management of the condition to be considered in the article. We encourage you to read th...

First, we replicate the remarkable result of Hossain & Morgan (AER 2009), in which subjects in an experimental market tip almost perfectly to the superior platform even if an inferior platform enjoys initial monopoly. Next, we show that this result disappear when seemingly innocent increases in out-of-equilibrium payoffs are introduced. The inflated payoffs do not alter payoffor risk-dominance ...
