Abstract: This study describes a new algorithm for charge state determination of complex isotope-resolved mass spectra. This algorithm is based on peak-target Fourier transform (PTFT) of isotope packets. It is modified from the widely used Fourier transform method because Fourier transform may give ambiguous charge state assignment for low signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) or overlapping isotopic clusters. The PTFT algorithm applies a novel folding strategy to enhance peaks that are symmetrically spaced about the targeted peak before applying the FT. The folding strategy multiplies each point to the high-m/z side of the targeted peak by its counterpart on the low-m/z side. A Fourier transform of this folded spectrum is thus simplified, emphasizing the charge state of the chosen ion, whereas ions of other charge states contribute less to the transformed data. An intensity-dependent technique is also proposed for charge state determination from frequency signals. The performance of PTFT is demonstrated using experimental electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectra. The results show that PTFT is robust for charge state determination of low S/N and overlapping isotopic clusters, and also useful for manual verification of potential hidden isotopic clusters that may be missed by the current analysis algorithms, i.e., AID-MS or THRASH.

Abstract: Si la Conférence de Manille sur le tourisme mondial et la Déclaration innovatrice qui s’en est dégagée ont constitué, pour le tourisme et les mouvements de personnes partout dans le monde, un tournant important dans toutes les conceptions qui régissent les voyages, la Réunion mondiale du tourisme tenue à Acapulco constitue, sans aucun doute, l’élément de consolidation et le modèle d’application pratique des principes et concepts de la Déclaration de Manille sur le tourisme mondial. La Réunion mondiale du tourisme d’Acapulco s’inscrit dans la longue histoire des voyages comme une étape nouvelle, inspirée par la volonté des hommes, pour resserrer les liens entre les individus partout dans le monde, dans le contexte d’une communication directe destinée à dissiper les malentendus, les légendes, les discriminations, les intolérances, facteurs de tension internationale, qui rendent difficiles les relations entre les Etats.

Abstract: In this paper, we describe case-based techniques in a medical application. We developed a prototype of an antibiotics therapy adviser within the ICONS project between 1993 and 1995. Now we are going to improve and extend this prototype, which we have already presented at the CBR workshop within XPS-95. At that time we focused mainly on the application. Here we stress on the case-based techniques. Some adaptations do not really belong to the Case-Based Reasoning paradigm though information from former cases is considered. We attempted to solve the problem of the continuously increasing number of stored cases in this incrementally working system by generalising from specific cases to prototypes. Here we present results of threshold settings for our prototype design. They show that the chosen design, which was based on experiences with diagnostic tasks, is not only advantageous for this therapeutic application, but that it contains a slight drawback as well. 1.

Abstract: The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis was a pivotal time in the history of civilization. Many difficult decisions were made by a plethora of persons having different backgrounds, motives, beliefs, and intentions—while under extraordinarily intense pressure. In our paper, we discuss an approach designed for exploratory analysis of the decisions made using ontologies and based in visual analytics. With customized software to support our work, we will demonstrate how the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolded with a novel approach.

Abstract: In this paper I sketch a model of cognition from the perspective of Peircean semiotics. In this view, cognition is the action of signs or semiosis, the construction of structures of experience via signs. This process involves an irreducibly triadic relationship between three elements of sign process: sign, object and interpretant. Moreover, sign action spreads throughout an infinity of networks forming a rhizomous structure of semiosic potential. Each living organism constructs its own local connections or Umwelt based upon its unique experience and species characteristics. In this view, the base state of human cognition is a set of beliefs characterizing the Umwelt for that person. Via an interplay between genuine doubt and fixing belief through inference, the person literally constructs and reconstructs his or her Umwelt. The paper concludes by using this model to characterize learning on the World Wide Web.

Abstract: The spatial and non-spatial data is increasingly used in the disease ecology and ecosystem health analysis and management. The present state of spatial data management system and the currently available tools are restrictive in developing and analyzing complex models. Recognizing the need for better and efficient data management system and specialized tools, the College of Veterinary Medicine at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign initiated a project to build a central GIS data repository and develop specialized temporal analysis tools. This paper discusses the development of central spatial data repository and the temporal analysis tools that will be used by the College of Veterinary Medicine. This project is unique since it is the first initiative towards building the central database repository for the college research projects.

Abstract: Bangladesh is likely to be one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change. This paper discusses the possible impacts of climate change in Bangladesh through tropical cyclones, storm surges, coastal erosion and back water effect. The possible increase in cyclone frequency in the Bay of Bengal, lying south of Bangladesh, due to climate change is looked at by analyzing the cyclone data for 119 yr. Both qualitative and quantitative discussions are made on cyclone intensity increase for a sea surface temperature rise of 2 and 4 degrees C. Different scenarios of storm surges under different climate change conditions are developed by using a numerical model of storm surges for the Bay of Bengal. Possible loss of land through beach erosion due to sea level rise on the eastern coast of Bangladesh is examined. Some discussions are also made on the impacts of back water effect due to sea level rise on flood situations in the country. Finally, a few remarks are made on the adaptation options for Bangladesh in the event of climate change.

Abstract: Representations historically used within GIS assume a world that exists only in the present. Information contained within a spatial database may be added-to or modified over time, but a sense of change or dynamics through time is not maintained. This limitation of current GIS capabilities has recently received substantial attention, given the increasingly urgent need to better understand geographical processes and the cause-and-effect interrelationships between human activities and the environment. Models proposed so-far for the representation of spatiotemporal data are extensions of traditional raster and vector representations that can be seen as location- or feature-based, respectively, and are therefore best organized for performing either location-based or feature-based queries. Neither form is as well-suited for analysing overall temporal relationships of events and patterns of events throughout a geographical area as a temporally-based representation. In the current paper, a new spatio-temporal data model is proposed that is based on time as its organizational basis, and is thereby intended to facilitate analysis of temporal relationships and patterns of change through time. This model is named the Event-based Spatio Temporal Data Model (ESTDM). It is shown that temporally-based queries relating to locations can be implemented in an efficient and conceptually straightforward manner using ESTDM by describing algorithms for three fundamental temporally-based retrieval tasks based on this model: (1) retrieving location(s) that changed to a given value at a given time, (2) retrieving location(s) that changed to a given value over a given temporal interval, and (3) calculation of the total area that has changed to a given value over a given temporal interval. An empirical comparison of the space efficiency of ESTDM and compressed and uncompressed forms of the 'snapshot' model is also given, showing that ESTDM is also a compact representation of spatio-temporal information.

Abstract: In web data, telecommunications traffic and in epidemiological studies, dense subgraphs correspond to subsets of subjects (i.e. users, patients) that share a collection of attributes values (i.e. accessed web pages, email-calling patterns or disease diagnostic profiles). Visual and computational identification of these "clusters" becomes useful when domain experts desire to determine those factors of major influence in the formation of access and communication clusters or in the detection and contention of disease spread. With the current increases in graphic hardware capabilities and RAM sizes, it is more useful to relate graph sizes to the available screen real estate S and the amount of available RAM M, instead of the number of edges or nodes in the graph. We offer a visual interface that is parameterized by M and S and is particularly suited for navigation tasks that require the identification of subgraphs whose edge density is above certain threshold. This is achieved by providing a zoomable matrix view of the underlying data. This view is strongly coupled to a hierarchical view of the essential information elements present in the data domain. We illustrate the applicability of this work to the visual navigation of cancer incidence data and to an aggregated sample of phone call traffic.
