Abstract:

With the rapid development of P2P technology, P2P IPTV applications have received more and more attention. And program resource distribution is very important to P2P IPTV applications. In order to collect IPTV program resources, a distributed multi-protocol crawler is proposed. And the crawler has collected more than 13 million pieces of information of IPTV programs from 2009 to 2012. In addition, the distribution of IPTV programs is independent and incompact, resulting in chaos of program names, which obstructs searching and organizing programs. Thus, we focus on characteristic analysis of program resources, including the distributions of length of program names, the entropy of the character types, and hierarchy depth of programs. These analyses reveal the disorderly naming conventions of P2P IPTV programs. The analysis results can help to purify and extract useful information from chaotic names for better retrieval and accelerate automatic sorting of program and establishment of IPTV repository. In order to represent popularity of programs and to predict user behavior and popularity of hot programs over a period, we also put forward an analytical model of hot programs.

Abstract. The manual snow survey program of the Arctic Research Centre of the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI-ARC) consists of numerous observations of natural seasonal taiga snowpack in Sodankylä, northern Finland. The easily accessible measurement areas represent the typical forest and soil types in the boreal forest zone. Systematic snow measurements began in 1909 with snow depth (HS) and snow water equivalent (SWE). In 2006 the manual snow survey program expanded to cover snow macro- and microstructure from regular snow pits at several sites using both traditional and novel measurement techniques. Present-day snow pit measurements include observations of HS, SWE, temperature, density, stratigraphy, grain size, specific surface area (SSA) and liquid water content (LWC). Regular snow pit measurements are performed weekly during the snow season. Extensive time series of manual snow measurements are important for the monitoring of temporal and spatial changes in seasonal snowpack. This snow survey program is an excellent base for the future research of snow properties.

Abstract. The manual snow survey program of the Arctic Research Centre of Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI-ARC) consists of numerous observations of natural seasonal taiga snowpack in Sodankylä, northern Finland. The easily accessible measurement areas represent the typical forest and soil types in the boreal forest zone. Systematic snow measurements began in 1909 with snow depth (SD) and snow water equivalent (SWE); however some older records of the snow and ice cover exists. In 2006 the manual snow survey program expanded to cover snow macro- and microstructure from regular snow pits at several sites using both traditional and novel measurement techniques. Present-day measurements include observations of SD, SWE, temperature, density, horizontal layers of snow, grain size, specific surface area (SSA), and liquid water content (LWC). Regular snow pit measurements are performed weekly during the snow season. Extensive time series of manual snow measurements are important for the monitoring of temporal and spatial changes in seasonal snowpack. This snow survey program is an excellent base for the future research of snow properties.

Abstract:

The article considers methods of misalignment determination of constructions and equipment, and analyses methods based on the spatial section line location. It is noted that in certain conditions the use of total stations and GNSS-receivers allows to perform a section line the measurements with necessary accuracy. To carry out measurements on the overall discharge section line program the improved method is suggested. The advantage of the suggested method is that if there is no opportunity for compulsory centering of a total station on the survey control points of the section line, it suggests using an extra survey control point of dam site to increase the measurement accuracy. The extra survey control point is settled in the site with high accuracy with the help of centering device. The measurements were performed by the suggested method and the results were analyzed. It was stated that the considered method increases the accuracy of misalignment determination of the control points on the overall discharge section line program.

Abstract:

Credible demonstration of policy or program impacts depends on understanding the distinction between inputs, outputs, outcomes and indicators. Moreover, in order to be trusted, public reports on a programs’ performance need to focus more selectively on identifying the key measures of performance. In the first place, the aim of the article is to provide those involved in the practice of program evaluation with enhanced understanding of the current literature, reports and documentation on estimating impacts and results of government programs and policies. Secondly, it is designed to share definitions and guidelines used to determine economic impacts. Finally, this article includes current best practices involved in measuring incremental impacts, all of which, we contend, enable program evaluation staff providing them with new ways of approaching measurement, effectiveness and accountability in a strategic and comprehensive manner.

Abstract:

AbstractA new method is presented, different from usual methods, for the discussion of the results of computer ECG measurement programs, based on a new graphical evaluation method. The proposed “scatter-graphs” both highlight the main program results and facilitate the comparison between various wave-recognition algorithms. They allow the distinction between the reliability of an algorithm, which is its capacity to provide a maximum of measurements with a minimum amount of errors, and its precision, i.e., the standard deviation of the differences between its point estimates and the reference.The method proves to be a powerful tool for the discussion of individual, as well as the median program results in CSE Measurement Study. It allows to highlight limitations induced in performance assessment by the variability of the reference itself, and to state that the median program is at least as close to the “Gold Standard” as the median of the referees.

Abstract:

Pavement warranty is an innovative contracting procedure increasingly adopted by state transportation agencies to protect investment in pavement construction and maintenance. In Mississippi, the pavement warranty program was initiated in 2000 and the pavement distress thresholds were set based on the deduct points calculated by conversion equations from distress measurements of unacceptable pavement conditions. The conversion of distress measurements into deduct points using empirically regressed conversion equations has been questioned, however, on the grounds that it actually reduces the accuracy of the objective distress measurements by adding subjective and random errors. Moreover, the validity and applicability of continual use of these conversion equations has become problematic with time, because the equations were empirically developed in the 1990s, reflecting the data, experience, and technologies at that time. This research aims to develop analytically new distress thresholds based on direct measurements of pavement distresses for the pavement warranty program in Mississippi. The bootstrapping method was employed to process the skewed historical distress measurement data into normal distributions. The upper bound of confidence interval or standard deviations of the normalized distress measurement data was determined as an alternative method to rebuild the threshold for each distress type. The confusion matrix was employed to consider a smooth transition of updating the thresholds from the current deduct point based system to a new measurement based system. This study provides a practical procedure for developing a set of measurement based thresholds to renew the pavement warranty program using the available pavement management system data.

Abstract:

Previously reported data on 5 computer-based programs for measurement of joint space width focusing on discriminating ability and reproducibility are updated, showing new data. Four of 5 different programs for measuring joint space width were more discriminating than observer scoring for change in narrowing in the 12 months interval. Three of 4 programs were more discriminating than observer scoring for the 0–18 month interval. The program that failed to discriminate in the 0–12 month interval was not the same program that failed in the 0–18 month interval. The committee agreed at an interim meeting in November 2007 that an important goal for computer-based measurement programs is a 90% success rate in making measurements of joint pairs in followup studies. This means that the same joint must be measured in images of both timepoints in order to assess change over time in serial radiographs. None of the programs met this 90% threshold, but 3 programs achieved 85%–90% success rate. Intraclass correlation coefficients for assessing change in joint space width in individual joints were 0.98 or 0.99 for 4 programs. The smallest detectable change was < 0.2 mm for 4 of the 5 programs, representing 29%–36% of the change within the 99th percentile of measurements.

Abstract:

Background: Hypertension screening programs have been effective in raising awareness and identifying people who are otherwise unfamiliar with their disease. We aimed to develop a resource-minimal, evidence-based protocol for a novel medical student-organized hypertension-screening program capable of community implementation. Methods: Eighty-one medical students had their blood pressure measured once using an automated machine and once using the manual auscultatory method. Bland-Altman plots compared agreement between measurement techniques. Results: No significant difference between manual and automated techniques was noted in the measurement of systolic blood pressure, but was noted for diastolic blood pressure. Conclusions: In the context of a community-based screening program, automated and manual measurements may be used interchangeably to obtain an accurate measure of systolic blood pressure. A medical student-organized community-screening program is an effective way to screen large numbers of people in a short amount of time.

Abstract:

Gas turbine performance analysis programs convert raw measurements (thrust, fuel flow, gas path temperatures, and pressures) into engine and component figures of merit (e.g., specific fuel consumption, component efficiencies). The derived parameters allow a diagnostician to recognize a poorly performing engine and help to identify the root cause for the problem. These goals can be foiled by measurement problems or by analysis assumptions embedded in the programs. A gifted analyst learns to recognize measurement or assumption problems via characteristic “fingerprints” in the program output. The latest data analysis tools tackle the same issues using a weighted-least-squares algorithm which estimates sensor errors at the same time component health is being determined. The weighted-least-squares algorithm modifies the “fingerprint” of a measurement problem and also that of a problem-free solution. To develop intuition for these new programs, the analyst must understand how weighted-least-squares works and how normal and problem situations are reflected in the output. This paper describes the weighted-least-squares algorithm, as implemented in GE’s TEMPER program, with the goal of stimulating a new intuition for interpreting gas path analysis results.

Abstract:

Background: In this work, an accurate low-cost power microwatt-meter is designed, built, and tested. This microwatt-meter is found to be capable of measuring power consumption in a wide range of devices and sensors, such as nodes in wireless sensor networks, microcontrollers in Internet of Things devices, and Field Programmable Gate Arrays. Methods: The paper examines the usage of the microwatt-meter for the measurement of power consumption in digital devices as they execute program instructions, ranging from a low-level single step (instruction) in an assembly program to a high-level sophisticated program or system. Results: The results obtained showed that the microwatt-meter is highly accurate. It can measure the energy consumed by any of the devices/programs/instructions in a digital system with accuracy levels ranging between 0.5% and 2.5% (depending on the application). Conclusion: The accuracy of the microwatt-meter is validated using the fundamental conservation of energy law and a comparison with multimeter current measurements is presented.

Full text

Abstract:

Marine environmental monitoring programs are these days a standard requirement for the oil and gas industry in all jurisdictions. Monitoring programs are generally required during the construction and siting of infrastructure in or near the marine environment and then also for the operational phases of that infrastructure. The types and scales of monitoring programs developed and implemented vary enormously from project to project and typically reflect the complex interplay between often competing factors such as legislative framework, environmental and political sensitivities, cost, industry standards, existing information, predicted levels of impact, access to technology, and the level of professional expertise engaged. With so many factors influencing the design of a program it is sometimes difficult to focus on the core requirements of any marine environmental monitoring program. Using case examples this paper provides some advice on choosing which potential impacts are important to monitor, developing a good study design (including the importance of baseline data collection and pilot studies), choosing the right parameters to monitor, avoiding the seduction of technology, and selecting appropriate statistical tests. The other topic covered is some advice on the interpretation of results with emphasis on the need for clarity at the beginning of a monitoring program about what the data collected will, or can, be used for.

Abstract:

Understanding regional as well as global spinal alignment is increasingly recognized as important for the spine surgeon. A novel software program for virtual preoperative measurement and surgical manipulation of sagittal spinal alignment was developed to provide a research and educational tool for spine surgeons. This first-generation software program provides tools to measure sagittal spinal alignment from the occiput to the pelvis, and to allow for virtual surgical manipulation of sagittal spinal alignment. The software was developed in conjunction with Clifton Labs, Inc. Photographs and radiographs were imported into the software program, and a 2D virtual spine was constructed from the images. The software then measured regional and global sagittal spinal alignment from the virtual spine construct, showing the user how to perform the measurements. After measuring alignment, the program allowed for virtual surgical manipulation, simulating surgical procedures such as interbody fusion, facet osteotomy, pedicle subtraction osteotomy, and reduction of spondylolisthesis, as well as allowing for rotation of the pelvis on the hip axis. Following virtual manipulation, the program remeasured regional and global sagittal spinal alignment. Computer software can be used to measure and manipulate sagittal spinal alignment virtually, providing a new research and educational tool. In the future, more comprehensive programs may allow for measurement and interaction in the coronal, axial, and sagittal planes.

Abstract. Between 1 July and 30 September 2018, small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), tethered balloon systems (TBSs), and additional radiosondes were deployed at Oliktok Point, Alaska, to measure the atmosphere in support of the second special observing period for the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP). These measurements, collected as part of the Profiling at Oliktok Point to Enhance YOPP Experiments (POPEYE) campaign, targeted quantities related to enhancing our understanding of boundary layer structure, cloud and aerosol properties and surface–atmosphere exchange and providing extra information for model evaluation and improvement work. Over the 3-month campaign, a total of 59 DataHawk2 sUAS flights, 52 TBS flights, and 238 radiosonde launches were completed as part of POPEYE. The data from these coordinated activities provide a comprehensive three-dimensional data set of the atmospheric state (air temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind), surface skin temperature, aerosol properties, and cloud microphysical information over Oliktok Point. These data sets have been checked for quality and submitted to the US Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program data archive (http://www.archive.arm.gov/discovery/, last access: July 2019) and are accessible at no cost by all registered users.

Abstract:

Purpose Two stuttering measurement training programs currently used for training clinicians were evaluated for their efficacy in improving the accuracy of total stuttering event counting. Method Four groups, each with 12 randomly allocated participants, completed a pretest–posttest design training study. They were evaluated by their counts of stuttering events on eight 3-min audiovisual speech samples from adults and children who stutter. Stuttering judgment training involved use of either the Stuttering Measurement System (SMS), Stuttering Measurement Assessment and Training (SMAAT) programs, or no training. To test for the reliability of any training effect, SMS training was repeated with the 4th group. Results Both SMS-trained groups produced approximately 34% improvement, significantly better than no training or the SMAAT program. The SMAAT program produced a mixed result. Conclusions The SMS program was shown to produce a “medium” effect size improvement in the accuracy of stuttering event counts, and this improvement was almost perfectly replicated in a 2nd group. Half of the SMAAT judges produced a 36% improvement in accuracy, but the other half showed no improvement. Additional studies are needed to demonstrate the durability of the reported improvements, but these positive effects justify the importance of stuttering measurement training.

Abstract:

The quantum measurement incompatibility is a distinctive feature of quantum mechanics. We investigate the incompatibility of a set of general measurements and classify the incompatibility by the hierarchy of compatibilities of its subsets. By using the approach of adding noises to measurement operators, we present a complete classification of the incompatibility of a given measurement assemblage with n members. Detailed examples are given for the incompatibility of unbiased qubit measurements based on a semidefinite program.

Abstract:

Electron diffraction is one of the most widely used techniques in the characterization of materials in the TEM. There are a number of computer programs used for measuring, indexing, and simulating electron diffraction patterns (EDP’s), but many are stand-alone programs and require significant user interaction. For example, EDP’s obtained on the JEOL 2010 in the Texas A&M Electron Microscopy Center can be measured with the Electron Diffraction Pattern Analysis software provided with the Oxford Instruments eXL system. A separate program is used to acquire the pattern from the TV camera output, while the EDP Analysis program requires the user to select the transmitted and diffracted beams for measurement. Only two values of d-spacings are calculated by this program, which places an additional burden on the user to select other spots in order to get a more complete measurement of the pattern.In this work, we propose a more streamlined approach in acquiring, saving, and measuring EDP’s on a PC-based computer system. A schematic of the hardware/software configuration is shown in Figure 1.

Abstract:

Increasing highway safety is a critical transportation policy priority. To further that goal, NHTSA released a set of model performance measures for state traffic records databases, although states are free to develop their own metrics. This paper presents the results of Kentucky’s program to develop metrics to measure the performance attributes of its traffic records databases (timeliness, accuracy, completeness, consistency and uniformity, integration, and accessibility). After a brief discussion of the complex nature of the traffic records database system, Kentucky’s performance measurement program is described. Differences across the databases in obtaining useful information are noted, and implications are identified for database improvements. The paper documents advances in data accuracy, timeliness, and completeness. Findings are then connected to the broader effort to improve traffic records databases, including the construction of effective traffic records strategic plans.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to develop the education quality measurement scale of Master of Business Administration (MBA) program in Vietnam. Cronbach’s Alpha, Exploring Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were used to test the model with the support of SPSS and AMOS. The result of this study on the sample of 307 MBA students of Public and Private Universities in Ho Chi Minh City and neighbouring provinces indicates that MBA program education quality measurement scale includes five components: (1) Perceived program quality, (2) Perceived quality of life, (3) Perceived quality of lecturing faculty, (4) Perceived quality of academic facilities, and (5) Perceived quality of outcome.
