With that purpose in mind, exhaustively analyzing the forums associated with the subjects taught at the Universitat Oberta de Cataluya (UOC) would be extremely helpful, as the university's students often post comments on their learning experiences in them. Exploiting the content of such forums is not a simple undertaking. The volume of data involved is very large, and performing the task manually would require a great deal of effort from lecturers. As a first step to solve this problem, we propose a tool to automatically analyze the posts in forums of communities of UOC students and teachers, with a view to systematically mining the opinions they contain. This article defines the architecture of such tool and explains how lexical-semantic and language technology resources can be used to that end. For pilot testing purposes, the tool has been used to identify students' opinions on the UOC's Business Intelligence master's degree course during the last two years. The paper discusses the results of such test. The contribution of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it demonstrates the feasibility of using natural language parsing techniques to help teachers to make decisions. Secondly, it introduces a simple tool that can be refined and adapted to a virtual environment for the purpose in question.","PeriodicalId":155467,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121635954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of fibroids do not require treatment unless they are causing symptoms. Traditional surgery treatments, like myomectomy and hysterectomy, are very invasive therapeutic approaches which not always preserves reproductive potential of the woman. MRgFUS, performed with Insightec ExAblate 2100 equipment, is a new and noninvasive technique for uterine fibroids treatment, not requiring hospitalization and recovery time for patients. An initial assessment of MRgFUS treatment is made by computing the ablated volume of uterine fibroid. In this paper a semi-automatic approach, based on region-growing segmentation technique, is proposed. The implemented approach gives a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the treatment providing the volume and the three-dimensional (3D) model of the treated fibroid area. Considering these characteristics, the proposed approach can be used as a tool to integrate the information used by a Medical Decision Support System (MDSS). As step in the MRgFUS treatment evaluation, the achieved results improve the current methodology based on the manual uterine fibroid ROT segmentation.","PeriodicalId":155467,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134155253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first one is a new concept of artificial neuron, different from the classic approach. The second one is a proposal of a system that simulates the human visual perception in artificial intelligence systems based on what is known at this date on the human visual system at neurological and cellular levels. After studying the main two directions in the area, the neural networks (NN) and the expert systems (ES), a hybrid approach has been developed. This approach consists in the creation of a new type of neuron that was called expert neuron (XN). The main difference between the classical neuron and the expert neuron is that the expert neuron acts as an expert system at micro level and bases its activation on the decision made by an embedded inference engine and a dynamically defined knowledge base (KB). At macro level the system consists of several layers of neural networks containing only interconnected expert neurons. These layers follow as close as possible the structure of the human visual system, starting from the eye and ending with the visual areas from the cortex. An additional layer has been added which corresponds to a memory layer from the frontal cortex. The result was the CHILDREN system - Computer Human Interface for Learn Diagnose and Reasoning with Expert Neurons.","PeriodicalId":155467,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116016836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once the server stops by fault, the client is suspended to wait for a reply. Even if the request is performed on another server on detection of fault of the server, some QoS requirement like response time may not be satisfied. Hence, each request is redundantly performed on multiple servers to be tolerant of server faults. Here, more number of servers a request process is redundantly performed, the more reliable but the more amount of electric power is consumed. Thus, it is critical to discuss how to realize a reliable and energy-aware server cluster in presence of server faults. The redundant power consumption laxity-based (RPCLB) algorithm is proposed to redundantly and energy-efficiently perform a request process in our previous studies. In this paper, we newly discuss an improved RPCLB (IRPCLB) algorithm where once a process successfully terminates on one server, meaningless redundant processes are forced to terminate on the other servers. We show the total power consumption of servers and response time of each process can be reduced in the IRPCLB algorithm than the RPCLB and round-robin (RR) algorithms in both heterogeneous and homogeneous clusters.","PeriodicalId":155467,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130696148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially, some sub-networks appear in a GRN holding feedback loop or coupled feedback loop mechanisms, which possess specific relationships and aim to maintain certain functional conditions. Many cases have been reported and experimentally verified the existence of feedback and coupled feedback loops in transcription regulatory networks. However, most feedback loops were not shown directly from the pathways reported by KEGG database. In this study, we integrated all possible cross-regulatory pathways within KEGG maps through examining the feedback relationship among all genes. A total of 427 biological pathway maps were verified individually and an on-line web based system was designed for identifying a specified gene for its possible feedback relationship. In addition, paralogous gene information was also considered for discovering potential coupled feedback loop relationships. There are 50 newly identified feedback loops and 124 coupled feedback loops were found in this study, of which 48 (96%) feedback loops were constructed from different KEGG maps. The built cross-linked pathways could facilitate biologists in understanding how the unveiled dynamic patterns of gene regulation maintain the balance of a specific biological function.","PeriodicalId":155467,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125538332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
