The Facial Expression Coding System (FACES): Development, validation, and utility.

This article presents information on the development and validation of the Facial Expression Coding System (FACES; A. M. Kring & D. Sloan, 1991). Grounded in a dimensional model of emotion, FACES provides information on the valence (positive, negative) of facial expressive behavior. In 5 studies, reliability and validity data from 13 diverse samples, including students, psychiatric patients, and community adults, are presented, and results indicate that raters can reliably agree on instances of positive and negative expressive behavior. Validity studies indicate that FACES ratings are related in predictable ways to another observational coding system, facial muscle activity, individual-difference measures of expressiveness and personality, skin conductance, heart rate, and reports of experienced emotion. FACES can be a useful tool for assessing expressive behavior in a variety of contexts. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

Coding behavior of authentication code on the internet

With the rapid growth of Internet services, virtual world has witnessed an increasingly large number of online users who have a variety of needs such as accessing various websites to gather information, easing business transactions, and sharing updates. As a result, information security has become a major concern among online users, and the verification of access codes is now the main practice used to keep information systems safe. However, some issues arise as the result of coding and managing behavior, and this research seeks to address these issues. After following the Focus Group method and interviewing 13 college students, this research finds that forgetting the access code is one of the biggest challenges to most online users simply because of the longer duration and the time when the users have a need to access the websites again, their memory will eclipse. In addition, online users usually develop self-constructed rules to cope with elusive code. These rules include: creating some sets of code that may not be meaningful to outsiders; taking different degrees of complex measures to register authentication codes, dependent upon the importance of the websites to the online users; writing the authentication codes on a scratchpad and sticking it on the computer screen; and keeping the codes in a notebook or computer file. The above practices nevertheless run the risk of being usurped by hackers, and it is found that hacking frequently takes place among closest friends, as they are quite familiar with the coding behavior of the victims. While assisting coding management does not help in this regard, as it is generally too expensive, online users troubled by the forgetting of access codes often end up with re-applying for a new set of authentication codes after unsuccessfully trying to login. All these self-constructed rules, nevertheless, constitute threat to information security. The research, in conclusion, calls for an education campaign to promote healthy coding behavior and effective coding management. The obtained findings provide valuable references for both academicians and practitioners to understand the online users’ coding behaviors and to effectively manage them accordingly to improve the resulting information security.     

Linear-code multicast on parallel architectures

Parallel architectures involve communication with the aim of fast receiving of complete information at each node. Several architectures have been proposed to overcome the problem of high communicational and computational time complexity for transferring and receiving information. To reduce the complexity of such communication, we have implemented Linear Network Coding (LNC) in the parallel environment. For verification of our approach, we have considered some parallel architecture for implementing network coding approach and examined our results on these networks in a generic environment. We have formulated a standard approach for parallel networks, showing that by applying this approach effect of faulty nodes, information size and communication complexity exponentially decreases with code length.

Revisiting efforts on constructing a knowledge base of evidence-based intervention within school psychology.

Responds to comments (see records 2003-01789-008, 2003-01789-009, 2003-01789-010, 2003-01789-011, 2003-01789-012, and 2003-01789-013) on the mini-series on evidence-based interventions (EBIs) in school psychology (see records 2003-01789-005, 2003-01789-006, and 2003-01789-007). The author focuses on clarifications regarding decisions made by the Task Force and Manual Subcommittee on what constitutes EBIs, realizations about critical issues surrounding these decisions, and specifications for the future. In clarifying the purpose of the Procedural and Coding Manual, 4 design ideals or standards that underlie the conceptualization of the EBI coding structure are reviewed. The design ideals provide underlying assumptions for evaluating intervention studies within the discipline, and include: (1) build researcher-practitioner alliance, (2) respond to the unique issues of school psychology, (3) promote and enhance scientific study, and (4) reflect the broad, diverse nature of the field. Next, central issues raised across the commentary articles are discussed with respect to two sets of juxtaposed considerations: Provide Comprehensive Information vs Maintain Practicality, and Invoke Rigorous Research Design Features vs Reflect School Context Features.

Construction of parametric biorthogonal wavelet filter banks with two parameters for image coding

We had presented a simple technique, which is based on the theory of Diophantine equation, for parametrization of popular biorthogonal wavelet filter banks (BWFBs) having the linear phase and arbitrary multiplicity of vanishing moments (VMs), and constructed a type of parametric BWFBs with one free parameter [15]. Here we generalize this technique to the case of two parameters, and construct a type of parametric BWFBs with two free parameters. The closed-form parameter expressions of the BWFBs are derived, with which any two-parameter family of BWFBs having preassigned VMs can be constructed, and six families, i.e., 9/11, 10/10, 13/11, 10/14, 17/11, and 10/18 families, are considered here. Two parameters provide two degrees of freedom to optimize the resulting BWFBs with respect to other criteria. In particular, in each family, three specific rational-coefficient BWFBs with attractive features are obtained by adjusting the parameters: the first is not only very close to a quadrature mirror filter (QMF) bank, but has optimum coding gain; the second possesses characteristics that are close to the irrational BWFB with maximum VMs by Cohen et al.; and the last which has binary coefficients can realize a multiplication-free discrete wavelet transform. In addition, two BWFBs are systematically verified to exhibit performance competitive to several state-of-the-art BWFBs for image compression, and yet require lower computational costs.
