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,...

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...

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....

Recent approaches to text classication have used two
dierent rst-order probabilistic models for classication,
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 dierences and details of these two models, and by
empirically comparing their classication performance
on ve text corpora. We nd that the multi-variate
Bernoulli performs well with small vocabulary sizes,
but...

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 veriable compilation strategy from
a new language based on RT-FRP into imperative code. The new language,
called Event-Driven...

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....

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

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...

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....

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...

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...

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....

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,...

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...

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

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...

Pursuant to the provision of the Privacy Act of 1974, HUD is providing notice of
its formal adoption of a new system of records for the Office of General Counsel (OGC) EDiscovery
Management System (EDMS). The OGC discovery productions typically require the
preservation, collection and analysis of massive emails, word processing documents, PDF files,
spreadsheets, presentations, database entries, and other documents in a variety of electronic file
formats, as well as paper records. EDMS is expected to improve significantly the efficiency of
OGC’s processing of records during the discovery and processing of litigation requests and will
dramatically reduce the time spent on the document review and production...

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 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...

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...

This guide has been produced to assist small event organisers. Each event is different and will require
different levels of management, services and provisions, However, there are elements that are
common to all events and we advise you to use the information contained in this guide as a basis for
planning you event. the requirements for their event.
If you are an employer or self‐employed person, compliance with health and safety, food safety and
fire precautions legislation are legal requirements and can be enforced by local authorities. In other
cases voluntary groups will find much of the information helpful, and if the principles laid out here...

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....
