Future Directions. PRECIOUS will review tools available for monitoring food intake and assess their recording accuracy, as well as gathering user feedback. The data collected will help to develop a user-friendly food intake tool for PRECIOUS, which will be enhanced by links to the virtual individual model, motivational tools and monitoring of other lifestyle aspects.

Future Directions. The results of this study suggest that inter- and intraobserver agreement on the presence of the NAPH pattern on CT scans is good. We also found that in approximately 22% of cases, there was disagreement as to whether the SAH matched the NAPH pattern. This implies that agreement may not be strong enough to suggest that the presence or absence of this pattern is reliable enough for a single observer’s opinion to be taken into account when deciding on the future management of the patient. If there is a low index of suspicion for the presence of an intracranial aneurysm, follow-up CT angiography, rather than DSA, can be used to accurately exclude aneurysms.8,9 In this study, we also found that in a most of cases, nonan- eurysmal SAH does not match the NAPH pattern. Given that such cases have not been as well characterized as NAPHs, it seems necessary to study these cases extensively so as to deter- mine whether one can develop an algorithm that could be used to reliably determine the best way to manage these cases.

Future Directions. ‌ While the main findings of this thesis are an important first step in understanding the relationship between syntactic annotation quality and machine translation performance, the results presented here raise some additional questions that bear further investigation. One slightly curious finding has to do with the disparity between tuning and test perfor- xxxxx. As we predicted, the new syntactic annotations resulted in higher BLEU scores on both the tuning and test data. However, in general, the tuning set improvements were quite a bit higher than those on the test set. This in itself is a relatively banal finding – optimizer overfitting is hardly an uncommon phenonomenon – but Table 4.3 shows a different xxx- xxxx of results from experiments where we improved the word alignments and held the trees constant. In these word alignment experiments, which are otherwise identical to the other MT experiments in this thesis, we saw tuning and test set improvements that were much closer together in magnitude, suggesting that the overfitting effect is stronger when parses are improved than when word alignments are improved. These results alone are probably not enough to be conclusive, but given the large recent interest in methods for overcoming MT optimizer instability (see for example Chiang et al., 2008; Macherey et al., 2008; Pauls et al., 2009; Xxxxx et al., 2011) , it seems to be worth investigating the interaction between parameter optimization and syntactic MT specifically. The final result of this thesis was the somewhat disappointing finding that the two basic approaches presented (statistical modeling to improve parser performance and tree trans- formations to improve agreement with alignements) do not automatically stack together to achieve even stronger MT performance. One possibility for this result is that the agree- ment score metric we defined is designed specifically for isolating problems that appear in monolingual parses. When the starting point is parses that were generated from a joint model, the initial agreement is already much higher, so perhaps the remaining disagree- ments that are relevant to MT performance are not adequately captured by continuing to optimize agreement score. However, we do see in Table 5.7 that the annotations with the highest agreement score (Joint PA + Transformation) also yield the highest BLEU score on the tuning set,1 so another possibility is that we’re just running up against the limits of the parameter optimiz...

Future Directions. There are many avenues of research remaining on the relationships between TGP constructs and condom use among African American female adolescents. The sexual division of labor can be explored in greater depth; although these factors are structural, identification of salient influences within this structure for adolescents on condom use from and other domains of the TGP can help interventionists tailor approaches and highlight modifiable mediators through which these more distal factors act. Source of income must be indentified with care, acknowledging that for disparity to be gender based, the source of income for the adolescent must be the adolescent’s female caregiver. Within the structure of affective attachments and social norms, the impact of religious affiliation needs to be defined beyond the level of religiosity and family influences not supportive of HIV can be elaborated upon to include adolescent-centric measures such as communication about condoms and parental monitoring. Research to explore potential mediating pathways is needed to further explore mechanisms within the TGP predicting condom use among African American young women. Some work has already begun in this direction. Sales and colleagues [157]G tested partner disapproval and self efficacy to avoid HIV as mediators of the impact of sexual violence on condom use and found the inclusion of these variables significantly reduced the impact of abuse on the outcome. More analyses like these that cross TGP structures can enhance the understanding of how these constructs operate in their effect on condom use to better explicate the impact of the structural and social factors described by the TGP on HIV risk behaviors.

Future Directions. The GIA has actively advanced into its second 5-year term guided by a new Strategic Plan. The studies in several of the active annexes are being revised, reorganized and extended. As examples, planning is proceeding for new work to begin in Annex I on induced seismicity and in Xxxxx XXX, new work is being proposed on field experiments on enhanced geothermal systems. The programme is also expanding through the addition of completely new areas of cooperative research, e.g. Annex VIII: Direct Use of Geothermal Energy commenced activities in September 2003, and preparation is well advanced on Annex V: Sustainability of Geothermal Energy Utilization and Annex VI: Geothermal Power Generation Cycles. The tasks associated with Annex IX: Geothermal Market Acceleration, are recognized as very important, and are being developed in association with the IEA’s own market acceleration annex. Options are also open for new collaborative activities to be added to the programme under new subtasks and annexes, and new proposals are encouraged. The GIA recognizes the importance of expanding its membership to help achieve its goal of supporting and advancing worldwide geothermal energy use. Therefore, the GIA extends an invitation to national organizations, universities, multilateral organizations, international inter- governmental organizations and industry to seriously consider joining. Membership is open to both IEA Member and non-Member countries. Interested parties should contact the IEA-GIA Secretariat (XXX-XXXXxx@xxx.xxx.xx) for information on joining. Membership is formalized through the IEA Secretariat, which has been instrumental in assisting with the growth of the GIA. The GIA website (IEA-GIA Webpage) also provides contact information and easy access to its major documents including: the Implementing Agreement, annex descriptions, strategic plan, GIA membership details and annual reports. The site also provides a major resource for the dissemination of the programme’s results.

Future Directions. ‌ Secure group messaging. The prime application of CGKA is secure group messaging (SGM). It is therefore an important open problem to define active (and optimal) security of SGM and prove (or disprove) that the black-box construction of SGM from CGKA from [4] achieves optimal SGM security assuming optimally-secure CGKA.

Future Directions similar to this one should be carried out in a more diverse population in order to investigate if our findings can be replicated. The cross-sectional design of our study only allows us to make statements about association and not causation. Further research is necessary in order to explore if causation exists and to determine if correcting vitamin D levels through supplementation may reduce rates of infection with MRSA. Future studies should also investigate whether using vitamin D as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of MRSA infection can improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare expenditures. 1 Xxxxxx XX.

Future Directions. I am sure this research will bear most of its compositional fruit after the period in which it was realized. Now that I am about to conclude this thesis I would like to mention some of the ideas I have for a piece that will sum up and pursue further some of these findings, intended to be performed as part of the graduation. The planned piece is for ensemble Modelo 62 and is intended as a piece in multiple parts, each exploring a different but related idea or a similar idea in a different form. I have been pondering on how to set up a different relation between the score and the performance, to include more open settings that can produce multiple results within a single specified material, logic and form instead of fixed notations. I want to specify pitch sets and temporalities that are subject to decisions in performance that can unfold the harmonic aggregates, with a view on providing multiple ways of interaction within the ensemble. The tunings must be quite different and subject to idiomatic adaptations, pursuing, for example, scordaturas and extended techniques but also involving equal temperament and mixtures of approaches. The various kinds of rules will determine the character of the music, which can change according to different options for the rules, so that they can together make series of pieces or sections. For example, the relation between duration and harmonicity, as in Xxxxxx’x notion of ‘activation of nodes’ in harmonic space, can be established so that far away intervals have long durations and low loudnesses while harmonic intervals become short and loud; inverting this relation (producing relations which are more ‘conventional’) can produce interesting variations/contrasts within a piece or between pieces. There are other possible variations on this single idea. During a recent course I was involved in which Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx gave a lecture on his music, I was stimulated by an idea present in some of his pieces in which sound field recordings are ‘framed’ with sine waves of random frequencies. The effect is that they always tend to coincide with some components in the sound field, or that there is at least a tendency to make the relation in the listener. This made me think that the connection between random, fortuitous pitches and specific harmonies can be established in an effective way, opening prospects for approaching harmony simultaneously in timbral and proportional ways. This can be coupled with a tendency towards sparse textures, wh...
