A dynamic integration algorithm to model surfaces from multiple range views

This paper presents a dynamic integration algorithm to triangulate a surface from multiple range views. This integration technique is based on the reparameterization of the canonic subsets of the Venn diagram of the set of range views. We compute a model based onN views from a model based onN–1 views by processing only the surface segments visible in theN ^th view. An experimental result shows that the proposed integration algorithm can process complex multipart objects containing holes.     

Incremental maintenance of aggregate and outerjoin expressions

Views stored in a data warehouse need to be kept current. As recomputing the views is very expensive, incremental maintenance algorithms are required. Over recent years, several incremental maintenance algorithms have been proposed. None of the proposed algorithms handle the general case of relational expressions involving aggregate and outerjoin operators efficiently.     

An empirical investigation of socio-cultural factors of information sharing in China

Understanding information sharing is an important challenge to modern organizations, and is likely to be increasingly considered when IT investment decisions are made world-wide. Our research study investigated the influence of cultural factors on information sharing in China. It was postulated that social network structures such as guanxi, Confucian dynamism, and collectivism could explain the degree to which information sharing took place between people in China. It was found that guanxi, Confucian dynamism, and collectivism all had a significant influence on information sharing.     

Do the Kallikaks look "menacing" or "retarded?"

To extend R. E. Fancher's (see record 1987-31600-001) review of claims that photographs of the Kallikak family in H. H. Goddard's (1912) study had been retouched to make them look more menacing and retarded, 29 Ss (aged 18–69 yrs) were surveyed for their impressions of the photographs. Overall, Ss were strongly inclined to view the photographed individuals as "kind" and "very bright." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

More on Goddard and the Kallikak family photographs.

Discusses retouching of the Kallikak family photographs in H. H. Goddard's (1912) study of mental retardation and heredity, with reference to analyses by R. E. Fancher (see record 1987-31600-001) and S. J. Gould (1981), and concurs with Fancher that the retouching was probably not done for deceitful purposes.

法治视野下儒家和谐思想的价值反思

儒家文化包含丰富的和谐思想底蕴和精华,对建设现代社会主义和谐社会具有重要的启迪和借鉴意义。本文以现代法治视角,对社会主义和谐社会理论和传统儒家和谐思想进行深入解读,剖析儒家和谐思想与现代社会的不相适宜,并以马克思主义、中国特色社会主义理论体系以及现代民主法治理念为指导,对儒家和谐思想的现代转换和科学构建作出一些思考。     

Incremental join view maintenance on distributed log-structured storage

Modern database systems desperate for the ability to support highly scalable transactions and efficient queries simultaneously for real-time applications. One solution is to utilize query optimization techniques on the on-line transaction processing (OLTP) systems. The materialized view is considered as a panacea to decrease query latency. However, it also involves the significant cost of maintenance which trades away transaction performance. In this paper, we examine the design space and conclude several design features for the implementation of a view on a distributed log-structured merge-tree (LSMtree), which is a well-known structure for improving data write performance. As a result, we develop two incremental view maintenance (IVM) approaches on LSM-tree. One avoids join computation in view maintenance transactions. Another with two optimizations is proposed to decouple the view maintenance with the transaction process. Under the asynchronous update, we also provide consistency queries for views. Experiments on TPC-H benchmark show our methods achieve better performance than straightforward methods on different workloads.     

张謇职业教育环境观之比较

在兴办实业教育的过程中,张謇投资基础设施,建设实习实训环境;融合中西文化,塑造学习文化环境;规划城市建设,改善校园外部环境.与杜威、黄炎培相比,张謇的职业教育环境观与他们的观点存在着相似之处,但作为实践者和拓荒者,张謇从朴素的救国救民思想出发,率先进行了实业教育的物质环境、文化环境和外部环境的建设,反映了他对环境在人才培养中作用的重视,也体现了他环境育人的价值追求.     

一种虚拟环境下的Rootkit检测与处理技术

rootkit对系统的危害十分严重,其极强的隐蔽性为检测带来了很大的困难。当前对rootkit的检测方法中存在一些不足,并且缺少对检测到rootkit后的定位与处理。针对现有检测方法中的不足,提出了一种虚拟环境下基于虚拟机监控器(Virtual Machine Monitor,VMM)的rootkit检测与处理技术,并在Xen上实现了原型系统rDetector。使用以安全链表为基础的多视图同步谎言检测机制检测rootkit的隐藏性,以内核敏感信息完整性检查检测rootkit对系统的攻击,并利用VMM提供了对rootkit的定位与处理。实验表明,rDetecor对rootkit的检测效果良好,能够迅速准确的检测出rootkit对系统的攻击,并能有效地对rootkit进行处理,对系统造成的性能损失在可接受的范围内。
