Dialysis Event Protocol

In 2009, more than 370,000 patients were treated with maintenance hemodialysis in the United States.1 Hemodialysis patients require a vascular access, which can be a catheter or a graft or enlarged blood vessel that can be punctured to remove and replace blood. Bacteremias and localized infections of the vascular access site are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. Hemodiaylsis vascular access types, in order of increasing risk of infection, include arteriovenous fistulas created from the patient’s own blood vessels; arteriovenous grafts often constructed from synthetic materials; tunneled central lines; and nontunneled central lines. Other access devices,...

Surgical Site Infection (SSI) Event

In 2010, an estimated 16 million operative procedures were performed in the United States.1 A recent prevalence study found that SSIs were the most common healthcare-associated infection, accounting for 31% of all HAIs among hospitalized patients.2 NHSN data for 2006-2008 (16,147 SSIs following 849,659 operative procedures) showed an overall SSI rate of 1.9%.3 While advances have been made in infection control practices, including improved operating room ventilation, sterilization methods, barriers, surgical technique, and availability of antimicrobial prophylaxis, SSIs remain a substantial cause of morbidity and an associated mortality rate of 3% has been attributed to them.4 Of this, 75% of the...

Herald: Achieving a Global Event Notification Service

This paper presents the design philosophy and initial design decisions of Herald: a highly scalable global event notification system that is being designed and built at Microsoft Research. Herald is a distributed system designed to transparently scale in all respects, including numbers of subscribers and publishers, numbers of event subscription points, and event delivery rates. Event delivery can occur within a single machine, within a local network or Intranet, and throughout the Internet. Herald tries to take into account the lessons learned from the successes of both the Internet and the Web. Most notably, Herald is being designed, like the Internet, to operate correctly in the presence of numerous broken and disconnected components....

A Comparison of Event Models for Naive Bayes Text Classi cation

Recent approaches to text classi cation have used two di erent rst-order probabilistic models for classi cation, both of which make the naive Bayes assumption. Some use a multi-variate Bernoulli model, that is, a Bayesian Network with no dependencies between words and binary word features (e.g. Larkey and Croft 1996; Koller and Sahami 1997). Others use a multinomial model, that is, a uni-gram language model with integer word counts (e.g. Lewis and Gale 1994; Mitchell 1997). This paper aims to clarify the confusion by describing the di erences and details of these two models, and by empirically comparing their classi cation performance on ve text corpora. We nd that the multi-variate Bernoulli performs well with small vocabulary sizes, but...

Event-Driven FRP?

Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is a high-level declarative language for programming reactive systems. Previous work on FRP has demonstrated its utility in a wide range of application domains, including animation, graphical user interfaces, and robotics. FRP has an elegant continuous-time denotational semantics. However, it guarantees no bounds on execution time or space, thus making it unsuitable for many embedded real-time applications. To alleviate this problem, we recently developed Real-Time FRP (RT-FRP), whose operational semantics permits us to formally guarantee bounds on both execution time and space. In this paper we present a formally veri able compilation strategy from a new language based on RT-FRP into imperative code. The new language, called Event-Driven...

Lucid Dreaming: Reliable Analog Event Detection for EnergyConstrained Applications

Existing sensor network architectures are based on the as- sumption that data will be polled. Therefore, they are not adequate for long-term battery-powered use in applications that must sense or react to events that occur at unpre- dictable times. In response, and motivated by a structural autonomous crack monitoring (ACM) application from civil engineering that requires bursts of high resolution sampling in response to aperiodic vibrations in buildings and bridges, we have designed, implemented, and evaluated lucid dream- ing, a hardware–software technique to dramatically decrease sensor node power consumption in this and other event- driven sensing applications....

Audio-based Event Detection for Sports Video

In this paper, we present an audio-based event detection approach shown to be effective when applied to the Sports broadcast data. The main benefit of this approach is the ability to recognise patterns that indicate high levels of crowd response which can be correlated to key events. By applying Hidden Markov Model-based classifiers, where the predefined content classes are parameterised using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients, we were able to eliminate the need for defining a heuristic set of rules to determine event detection, thus avoiding a two-class approach shown not to be suitable for this problem. Experimentation indicated that this is an effective method for classifying crowd response in Soccer matches,...

Composite Event Specification in Active Databases: Model & Implementation

Active database systems require facilities to specify triggers that fire when specified events occur. We propose a language for specifying composite events as eveti expressions, formed using event operators and events (primitive or composite). An event expression maps an event history to anothe-r event history that contains only the events at which the event expression is “satisfied” and at which the trigger should 6re. We present several examples illustrating how quite complex event specifications are possible using event expressions. In addition to the basic event operators, we also provide facilities that make it easier to specify composite events. “Pipes” allow users to isolate sub-histories of interest. “Correlation variables” allow users to ensure...

THE NUCLEAR AND AERIAL DYNAMICS OF THE TUNGUSKA EVENT

On 30 June 1908, in Central Siberia of the U.S.S.R., an extraordinary event occurred (Oliver, 1928 ; Crowther, 1931). Eyewitnesses reported a giant fireball moving across the sky followed by an overpowering shockwave. Trees were radially toppled over thousands of square kilometers, seismic and atmospheric disturbances were recorded as far away as England, and the next several nights were sufficiently bright for reading. However, no significant impact crater was formed nor was any extraterrestrial matter found in the immediate area. A number of hypotheses have been advanced as possible explanations for this so called Tunguska Event (named after a nearby river). Among these are cometary/meteoric bumup in the atmosphere (Whipple, 1930; Oberg, 1977; Florensky, 1963), matter-antimatter...

Protothreads: Simplifying Event-Driven Programming of Memory-Constrained Embedded Systems

Event-driven programming is a popular model for writing programs for tiny embedded systems and sensor network nodes. While event-driven programming can keep the memory overhead down, it enforces a state machine programming style which makes many programs difcult to write, maintain, and debug. We present a novel programming abstraction called protothreads that makes it possible to write eventdriven programs in a thread-like style, with a memory overhead of only two bytes per protothread. We show that protothreads signicantly reduce the complexity of a number of widely used programs previously written with event-driven state machines. For the examined programs the majority of the state machines could be entirely removed. In the other cases the...

Integrated Data for Events Analysis (IDEA): An Event Typology for Automated Events Data Development*

This article outlines the basic parameters and current status of the Integrated Data for Event Analysis (IDEA) project. IDEA provides a comprehensive events framework for the analysis of international interactions by supplementing the event forms from all earlier projects with new event forms needed to monitor contemporary trends in civil and interstate politics. It uses a more flexible multi-leveled event and actor/target hierarchy that can be expanded to incorporate new event forms and actors/targets, and adds dimensions that can be employed to construct indicators for early warning and assessing conflict escalation. IDEA is currently being used in the automated coding of news reports (Reuters Business Briefs) and,...

Efficient Event Routing in Content-based Publish-Subscribe Service Networks

Abstract—Efficient event delivery in a content-based publish/subscribe system has been a challenging problem. Existing group communication solutions, such as IP multicast or application-level multicast techniques, are not readily applicable due to the highly heterogeneous communication pattern in such systems. We first explore the design space of event routing strategies for content-based publish/subscribe systems. Two major existing approaches are studied: filter-based approach, which performs content-based filtering on intermediate routing servers to dynamically guide routing decisions, and multicastbased approach, which delivers events through a few high-quality multicast groups that are pre-constructed to approximately match user interests. These approaches have different trade-offs in the routing quality achieved and the implementation cost and system load generated. We then...

DEFCON: High-Performance Event Processing with Information Security

In finance and healthcare, event processing systems handle sensitive data on behalf of many clients. Guaranteeing information security in such systems is challenging because of their strict performance requirements in terms of high event throughput and low processing latency. We describe DEFCON, an event processing system that enforces constraints on event flows between event processing units. DEFCON uses a combination of static and runtime techniques for achieving light-weight isolation of event flows, while supporting efficient sharing of events. Our experimental evaluation in a financial data processing scenario shows that DEFCON can provide information security with significantly lower processing latency compared to a traditional approach....

Source investigation of a small event using empirical Green’s functions and simulated annealing

We propose a two-step inversion of three-component seismograms that ( 1) recovers the far-field source time function at each station and (2) estimates the distribution of co-seismic slip on the fault plane for small earthquakes (magnitude 3 to 4). The empirical Green’s function (EGF) method consists of finding a small earthquake located near the one we wish to study and then performing a deconvolution to remove the path, site, and instrumental effects from the main-event signal. The deconvolution between the two earthquakes is an unstable procedure: we have therefore developed a simulated annealing technique to recover a stable and positive source time function (STF) in the time domain...

Event-Based Motion Control for Mobile- Sensor Networks

Another use of mobility comes about if the specific area of interest (within a larger area) is unknown during deployment. For example, if a network is deployed to monitor the migration of a herd of animals, the herd’s exact path through an area will be unknown beforehand. But as the herd moves, the sensors could converge on it to get the maximum amount of data. In addition, the sensors could move such that they also maintain complete coverage of their environment while reacting to the events in that environment. In this way, at least one sensor still detects any events that occur in isolation, while several sensors more carefully observe dense clusters of events. We’ve developed...

RETHINKING THE PALEOPROTEROZOIC GREAT OXIDATION EVENT: A BIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Competing geophysical/geochemical hypotheses for how Earth’s surface became oxygenated – organic carbon burial, hydrogen escape to space, and changes in the redox state of volcanic gases – are examined and a more biologically-based hypothesis is offered in response. It is argued that compared to the modern oxygenated world, organic carbon burial is of minor importance to the accumulation of oxygen in a mainly anoxic world where aerobic respiration is not globally significant. Thus, for the Paleoproterozoic Great Oxidation Event (GOE) ~ 2.4 Gyr ago, an increasing flux of O2 due to its production by an expanding population of cyanobacteria is parameterized as the primary source of O2....

Responding to the Event Deluge

In the late 1990s, the gamma-ray burst (GRB) community ignited the current excitement over transient astronomical events. Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) were a real enigma until ultra-fast event dissemination allowed optical identification of afterglows, leading to rich data and rich science. The events back then were both valuable and infrequent: every new GRB could make a career for a young astronomer, and they were only detected every few days. However, in the next few years, surveys carried out by telescopes such as Gaia, LOFAR, Pan-STARRS, LSST and SKA will produce a flood of hundreds of events every 24 hours, with the scientific jewels surrounded by dross,...

FED: FUZZY EVENT DETECTION MODEL FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

Event detection is one of the required services in sensor network applications such as environmental monitoring and object tracking. Composite event detection faces several challenges.The first challenge is uncertainty caused by variety of factors, while the second one is heterogeneity of sensor nodes in sensing capabilities. Finally, distributed detection,which is vital to facilitate uncovering composite events in large scale sensor networks, is challenging.We devised a new fuzzy event detection model which is called FED that benefits from fuzzy variables to measure the intensity as well as the occurrenceof detected events. FED uses fuzzy rules to define composite eventsto enhance handling uncertainty. Moreover, FED provides a node level...

The Event Planning Industry

These events range from first-birthday parties to political fundraisers, anniversaries, bar and bat mitzvahs, fashion shows, product launches, conferences, graduations, and reunions, to name just a few! According to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal, it takes about 150 hours for a planner, working with her staff, to produce a major event from start to finish. You do the math. Millions of events multiplied by hundreds of hours spent planning equals many, many opportunities for those entering this field. Yes, working in the field of event planning can mean long hours and high-stress moments—when the kitchen is accidentally set ablaze, for instance (something that Cheryl Hagner, Director...

COMET AND ASTEROID RISK: AN ANALYSIS OF THE 1908 TUNGUSKA EVENT

Early in the morning on June 30, 1908, a giant airburst occurred over the basin of the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Central Siberia, Russia, leveling trees over an area of 2,000 km2 (770 mi2) (Figure 1). Eyewitnesses described a ―fire ball, bright as the Sun‖ (Longo, 2007). The event produced seismic and pressure waves that were recorded all over the world and led to atmospheric phenomena (e.g. , bright nights, noctilucent clouds) observed over much of Eurasia. The released energy was later estimated to be equivalent to a 10 megaton (Mton) TNT explosion, about 1,000 times as powerful as the nuclear bomb dropped over Hiroshima...

Koelnmesse Termine 2013 - Koelnmesse event dates 2013

Many companies make investment to sponsor the big sports events such as Olympic, World Cup and popular sports games. Although being official sponsor requires a huge amount of financial resource, it is expected to create more favorable outcomes including profit increase, improved stock returns, and positive advertising effect. While sports sponsorships were 7.8% of the size of advertising expense in 1985, they were 13.9% of the size in 2006 (BMI Sport info). Coca-Cola spent $40 million to become an official sponsor of 1996 Olympic Games and an estimated $500 million to maintain this sponsor status (Shani and Sandler, 1996). Sponsorship opportunities are increasing for companies to connect...

The worth of sport event sponsorship: an event study

The authors investigate the relationship between sports-related event sponsorship and stock market valuation and identify factors that influence the financial rewards of sponsorship using World Cup and PGA tour sponsorship data. In particular, relationship between sports sponsorship with financial performance is examined in terms of sponsorship fit, event characteristics, and brand equity. Event study results show that sponsorship for World Cup and PGA is positively related to abnormal stock returns for sponsors but not every sponsor enjoys significantly positive cumulative abnormal returns. Regression analysis indicates that unexpectedly brand equity and U.S. country of origin is negatively associated with financial performance. However, U.S. sponsors with top brand value boost...

Planbased Complex Event Detection across Distributed Sources

In this paper, we study the problem of complex event detection (CED) in a monitoring environment that consists of potentially a large number of distributed event sources (e.g., hardware sensors or software receptors). CED is becoming a fundamental capability in many domains including network and infrastructure security (e.g., denial of service attacks and intrusion detection [22]) and phenomenon and activity tracking (e.g., fire detection, storm detection, tracking suspicious behavior [23]). More often than not, such sophisticated (or “complex”) events ”happen” over a period of time and region. Thus, CED often requires consolidating over time many ”simple” events generated by distributed sources. Existing CED approaches, such as those employed by stream processing systems...

Add Social Media to Your Event Strategy

An event—be it a networking gathering, open house, fundraiser, or class—is by nature, a social affair. People attend to connect, interact, and share with their peers. People join social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to connect, interact, and share with their peers. Sound familiar? Given their similar natures, it makes perfect sense to use social media to help plan, promote, and build excitement for any public event you’re hosting. If the goal is to get as many people as possible interested in your event, social media is a perfect compliment for spreading the word to your core base of customers, members, donors, and beyond....
