ECAR takes the ideas of programmable data plane, including signal processing in the physical layer, MAC, and upper layers, software defined networking, common channels in the physical layer, and coordination mechanisms in the control plane. ECAR applies these ideas in a coherent and systematic manner. The result is a modular and flexible design where new cellular service models can be implemented in software.

Most models of thought are based on the idea of associative memory: The combination of distinct concepts through their association with each other based on experience. Thus, the pattern of associations in the mind is thought to be a critical factor in determining the ideas - both familiar and unfamiliar - that thought can generate. The Itinerant Dynamics with Emergent Attractors (IDEA) model has been proposed as a computational representation of the process by which ideas might emerge in an associative memory system. However, the effect of how "association" is defined in this context remains an important unexplored issue. In this paper, we consider three different ways of defining associations between concepts based on their joint usage in texts, and show that these lead to very different dynamics in the process of emergent conceptual combinations. We use data from two real-world text corpora to instantiate the model: The collected poems of Dylan Thomas, and the Memoirs of the economist Ludwig von Mises. The two sources differ greatly in the nature of their content as well as the statistics of their word usage, which makes them interesting subjects for comparison.

The 2nd UEMS Conference on Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) held in Brussels on February 28th2014 was a great opportunity to gather all stakeholders involved in the field of CME/CPD accreditation in Europe and to discuss common grounds on the basic principles that make accreditation necessary for medical staff and for the benefit of patients.

Anorexia nervosa is a puzzling and often tragic disorder which causes the individual to self starve and hyper-exercise. We present a speculative analysis of the disorder which begins by acknowledging and accepting the adaptation to flee famine theory. This theory holds that anorexia nervosa results from activation of an archaic pathway that functioned well during human's nomadic past. We advance this idea by suggesting that the faulty signal indicating there is a famine, arises from misalignment of the circadian/circannual oscillations. Entry and exit from hibernation is dependent on these cycles, and we draw an analogy between hibernation and anorexia nervosa. We offer ideas for testing the hypothesis, and targeting these faulty signals. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The sectional design of the manuscript is standard by category and conveys a sense of order to the readers. It provides a template for each author's presentation, and most importantly the design of the research, be it clinical or laboratory, should be rigidly constructed and adhere to accepted standardized methods providing data that is analyzed according to the standard and, when appropriate, statistically validated techniques.

The current Ebola outbreak in Western Africa differs from previous ones due to its extent. Serious shortcomings in the on-site management in Africa are obvious. In addition to the situation in the countries affected media and medical interests also focus on detection and management of imported cases in Germany. From the experience with such patients already treated in Germany the existing medical concepts have been updated and expanded. This overview addresses not only the latest clinical knowledge and epidemiological developments but also outlines the key measures as well as the practical procedure when there is a suspected case.

In a recent commentary, Manuel Costa suggested that those interested in BMB education should work as a community of scholars to elevate the quality of questions we ask related to biochemistry teaching and learning [1]. Specifically, he encouraged us to design studies that are grounded in theory and provide results that are broadly relevant. Yet, for those of us who were trained as bench scientists in the molecular life sciences, the idea of formulating and executing a high-quality education research study can be daunting.

The article discusses a lecture about the history of autoimmunity, presented at the April 2014 American College of Rheumatology State-of-the-Art Clinical Symposium held in Illinois. Topics explored include the immunology-related discoveries in the early 1900s including anaphylaxis, the Arthus reaction, and serum sickness, the advancement in studies relating to vaccination, and the possible link between improving general hygiene and autoimmune diseases.

The presence or absence of worthy ideas is often the reason for companies' success or failure on competitive markets. Companies invest a lot of effort into attracting stakeholder such as customers to submit their ideas to them. For this purpose companies use several open innovation channels such as idea contests, open innovation platforms and university partnerships to boost the number and quality of external ideas. After a gold-rush period of open innovation activities, external idea contributors are no longer willing to accept companies' terms and conditions. They compare companies according to how trustworthy a company or an open innovation channel is because they want to ensure that the company does not behave in an opportunistic way. Therefore, the question arises of how companies can enhance their trustworthiness, so that idea contributors are willing to submit high-quality ideas. To answer this question we conducted an experimental setting with three groups of students to understand when idea contributors trust companies' terms and conditions and submit their ideas. The results demonstrate that e.g. a mediator is able to enhance an organization's trustworthiness and therefore increase the willingness of a potential contributor to offer an idea to the selected company.

The objective of this study is to analyze a new disruptive deployment of wireless sensors in order to cope with the explosive demand for bandwidth while taking into account energy consumption considerations. The work is grounded on the idea of massive network densification by drastically increasing the number of sensors in a given area in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode. Using ideas from the recent Massive MIMO technology (more than 400 antennas, without any modification of the network infrastructure), we transpose the idea to a massive deployment of sensors and show the benefits of such an infrastructure. This research is expected to provide the optimal deployment of massive wireless sensor networks in terms of cost/performance/complexity/energy efficiency trade-off and define the next generation wireless Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication.
