Hybrid XML documents are documents, which contain several XML languages, separated by a namespace. Recently, the usage of hybrid documents has increased. The trend has been to specify XML languages as modules, which are combined to construct complete documents. As the number of languages gets higher, a way to flexibly handle these kinds of documents is required. This paper describes a framework...

BACKGROUND The Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) is a cognitive and emotional tool measuring how individuals deal with stressful life events. However differences exist in the results of CERQ among individuals. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to investigate the CERQ results and depressive symptoms of students at our university (both local and international students) in order...

Pilomatricoma or benign calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe is a benign appendageal tumour originating from primitive cells of the hair matrix. Perforation (transepidermal elimination), bullous or anetodermic cutaneous changes overlying pilomatricomas are rare events. In this report, we describe a case of pilomatricoma with bullous appearance or secondary anetoderma. The tumour was totally excis...

Let (Xn,i )1≤i≤n,n∈N be a triangular array of row-wise stationary Rd valued random variables. We use a “blocks method” to define clusters of extreme values: the rows of (Xn,i ) are divided into mn blocks (Yn,j ), and if a block contains at least one extreme value, the block is considered to contain a cluster. The cluster starts at the first extreme value in the block and ends at the last one. T...

The thriver model is a novel framework that unifies the concepts of posttraumatic and postecstatic growth. According to the model, it is not the quality of an event, but the way it is processed, that is critical for the occurrence of post-event growth. The model proposes that meaning making, supportive relationships, and positive emotions facilitate growth processes after positive as well as tr...

High-value rare-event searching is arguably the most natural application of grid computing, where computational tasks are distributed to a large collection of clients (which comprise the computation grid) in such a way that clients are rewarded for performing tasks assigned to them. Although natural, rare-event searching presents significant challenges for a computation supervisor, who partitio...

Statistical NLP inevitably deals with a large number of rare events As a consequence NLP data often vio lates the assumptions implicit in traditional statistical procedures such as signi cance testing We describe a signi cance test an exact conditional test that is appropriate for NLP data and can be performed us ing freely available software We apply this test to the study of lexical relations...

An occupancy problem with an infinite number of bins and a random probability vector for the locations of the balls is considered. The respective sizes of bins are related to the split times of a Yule process. The asymptotic behavior of the landscape of first empty bins, i.e., the set of corresponding indices represented by point processes, is analyzed and convergences in distribution to mixed ...

We analyze the statistical dependence structure of the S&P 500 constituents in the 4-year period from 2007 to 2010 using intraday data from the New York Stock Exchange’s TAQ database. Instead of using a given parametric copulawith a predetermined shape, we study the empirical pairwise copula directly. We find that the shape of this copula resembles the Gaussian copula to somedegree, but exhibit...

Progress in ocean wave forecasting is described in the context of the fundamental law for wave prediction: the energy balance equation. The energy balance equation gives the rate of change of the sea state caused by adiabatic processes such as advection, and by the physical source functions of the generation of ocean waves by wind, the dissipation due to whitecapping and the nonlinear four-wave...
