Three-dimensional (3D) images, which are acquired by X-ray computed tomography (CT), are widely used in medical diagnosis and treatment. Recently, advances in image processing functions of 3D image analysis workstations have made it possible to confirm actual procedures, approach lesions from directions that are not visible during surgery, and observe important structures by moving images on the workstation. This is useful in providing a variety of information on the pathology in advance. However, depending on the manipulation of the creator, the 3D images provided can vary greatly in terms of the omission of blood vessels and tumors, the background color, the colors of organs, and the presentation including rotation directions and angles. In this study, we decided to create a manual for 3D image creation using our web hosting service to standardize the 3D images to be provided. In particular, dynamic content using the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) was created and posted to provide a useful support tool for 3D image creation. In addition, the data can be accessed via the Internet within the hospital, making them widely available in clinical and educational settings.

Extracting sentiment from text is a hard semantic problem. We develop a methodology for extracting small investor sentiment from stock message boards. The algorithm comprises different classifier algorithms coupled together by a voting scheme. Accuracy levels are similar to widely used Bayes classifiers, but false positives are lower and sentiment accuracy higher. Time series and cross-sectional aggregation of message information improves the quality of the resultant sentiment index, particularly in the presence of slang and ambiguity. Empirical applications evidence a relationship with stock values--tech-sector postings are related to stock index levels, and to volumes and volatility. The algorithms may be used to assess the impact on investor opinion of management announcements, press releases, third-party news, and regulatory changes.

Introduction Language is itself the collective art of expression, a summary of thousands upon thousands of individual intuitions. The individual gets lost in the collective creation, but his personal [...]

The Web hosting service is becoming increasingly important in which the service providers offer system resources to store and provide Web access to contents from individuals, institutions, and companies who lack resources or expertise to maintain a Web site. Web server cluster is a popular architecture used by the hosting service providers as a way to create scalable and highly available solutions. However, hosting a variety of contents from different customers on such a distributed server system faces new design and management problems and requires new solutions. This paper describes the research work we are pursuing for constructing a system to address the challenges faced by hosting Web content on a server farm environment. We also report performance data measured from a real hosting service. Keywords: Web hosting; Web cluster; Web content; Scalable; Highly available
