Context dependent fusion (CDF) is a fusion algorithm that combines multiple outputs from different classifiers to achieve better performance. CDF tries to divide the problem context into several homogeneous sub-contexts and to fuse data locally with respect to each sub-context. CDF showed better performance than existing methods, however, it is sensitive to noise due to the large number of parameters optimized and the innate linearity limits the application of CDF. In this paper, a variant of CDF using support vector machines (SVMs) for fusion and kernel principal component analysis (K-PCA) for context extraction is proposed to solve the problems in CDF, named CDF-SVM. Kernel PCA can shape irregular clusters including elliptical ones through the non-linear kernel transformation and SVM can draw a non-linear decision boundary. Regularization terms is also included in the objective function of CDF-SVM to mitigate the noise sensitivity in CDF. CDF-SVM showed better performance than CDF and its variants, which is demonstrated through the experiments with a landmine data set.

Effects of acid, salt, heat treatment and natural antimicrobials on survival of E. coli O157:H7 CDF1, A. sobria CDF3 and S. aureus CDF2 isolated from surface of carcass in minced meat was investigated. The growth of E. coli O157:H7 CDF1 and A. sobria CDF3 inhibited in minced meat containing above 4％ NaCl but not in 1％ lactic acid. The growth of S. aureus CDF2 was not inhibited significantly by addition of 4％ NaCl but inhibited completely in minced meat containing 1％ lactic acid. Survival of A. sorbia CDF3 did not show any differences during storage at 4 and 10$^{\circ}C$. E. coli O157:H7 CDF10 and A. sobria CDF3 did not detect after heat treatment at 60$^{\circ}C$ for 10 min but S. aureus CDF2 decreased only 1 log after the same treatment. Viable cell of E. coli O157:H7 CDF1 decreased 2 log in TSB containing 0.5％ Oolong tea extract after incubation for 12 hr compared with control but A. sobria CDF3 and S. aureus CDF2 did not detect at the same condition. The growth of E. coli O157:H7 CDF1, A. sobria CDF3 and S. aureus CDF2 was not inhibited by addition of 0.3％ Oolong tea extract but inhibited by addition of 0.5％ Oolong tea extract in minced meat at 20$^{\circ}C$ for 24hr.

The growth characteristics of 5. coli O157:H7 CDFI, A. sobria CDF3 and S. aureus CDF2 isolated from surface of carcass were investigated to improve hygienic quality of beef. The total count of carcass surface before washing was higher than that of after washing. Total count of after cooling decreased about 10$^1$∼ 10$^2$/㎠ compare with before cooling. Total count of carcass surface after transfer increased regardless seasons. The growth E. coli O157:H7 CDF1 occurred at pH 4 and 6% NaCl but A. sobria CDF3 and S. aureus CDF2 did not grow at the same conditions. Although the growth of E. coli O157:H7 CDF1 and S. aureus CDF2 was inhibited by 0.3％ lactic acid, but A sobria CDF3 did not grow in TSB containing 0.3％ lactic acid. E. coli O157:H7 CDF1 grew rapidly after 3 days incubation at 10$\^{C}$ but did not grow at 4$\^{C}$. But A. sobria CDF3 grew rapidly after 3 days incubation at 4$\^{C}$. E. coli O157:H7 CDF1 and A. sobria CDF3 were destroyed by heat treatment for 3 min at 60$\^{C}$. S. aureus CDF2 did not detect after heat treatment for 2 min at 70$\^{C}$.

Calculating the scrutable core damage frequency (CDF) of nuclear power plants is an important component of the seismic probabilistic safety assessment (SPSA). In this work, a simple approach is developed to calculate CDF from minimal cut sets (MCSs) with non-rare events. When conventional calculation methods based on rare event approximations are employed, the CDF of industry SPSA models is significantly overestimated by non-rare events in the MCSs. Recently, quantification algorithms using binary decision diagrams (BDDs) have been introduced to prevent CDF overestimation in the SPSA. However, BDD structures are generated from a small part of whole MCSs due to limited computational memory, and they cannot be reviewed due to their complicated logic structure. This study suggests a simple approach for scrutinizing the CDF calculation based on whole MCSs in the SPSA system analysis model. The proposed approach compares the new results to outputs from existing algorithms, which helps in avoiding CDF overestimation.

Positional clonging (map-based cloning) of mutations or genetic variations has been served as an invaluable tool to understand in-vivo functions of genes and to identify molecular components underlying phenotypes of interest. Mice homozygous for the cerebellar deficient folia (cdf) mutation are ataxic, with cerebellar hypoplasia and abnormal lobulation of the cerebellum. In the cdf mutant cerebellum approximately 40% of Purkinje cells are ectopically located within the white matter and the inner granule cell layer (IGL). To identify the cdf gene, a high-resolution genetic map for the cdf-gene-encompassing region was constructed using 1997 F2 mice generated from C3H/HeSnJ-cdf/cdf and CAST/Ei intercross. The cdf gene showed complete linkage disequilibrium with three tightly linked markers D6Mit208, D6Mit359, and D6Mit225. A contig using YAC, BAC, and P1 clones was constructed for the cdf critical region to identify the gene. A deletion in the cdf critical region on chromosome 6 that removes approximately 150 kb of DNA selection. cdf mutant mice with the transgenic copy of the identified gene restored the brain abnormalities of the mutant mice. The positional cloning of cdf gene provides a good example showing the identification of a gene could lead to finding a new component of important molecular pathways.

For increasing needs about web-based XML applications, there has been a lot of studies about WIDL, CDF and OSD that are related to XML. Especially, the OSD format describes software packages and their inter-dependencies that is widely used in a CDF file, IT uses different forms for representing relationships among software pakages, because there has not been proposed a method of object modeling about it until now. In this paper, we propose a modeling method for the OSD and CDF documents using UML relationships. It is a part of the project to merge XML, applications and convert thd OCD and CDF documents into an IML class diagram to generate OODB sheme. We can esily not only visualuze implementation and dependency relationships among software packages but also understand and transform logical structure of XML documents using modeling functions.

In the first of two experiments, chemical composition (Ash, CP and CF contents), nutritive value (in vitro organic matter disappearance "lVOMD" and energy content "ME") and nitrogen retention of chopped date fronds (CDF) as affected by chemical treatment (CT) and storage duration (SD) were investigated. The experimental design was a completely randomized block, arranged in a $3{\times}4$ factorial, with 3 (CT) and 4 (SD) as the main factors using 2 replications / treatment. Three chemical treatments, were used : Control (With zero or no chemical treatment); treatment with 4% urea solution (w /w) and treatment with 4% urea + Date syrup extract (DS). The 4 (SD) were: Control (immediately after opening - without any storage or zero time storage); one month storage period; two months storage period and three months storage period. Both (CT) and (SD) had significant effects (p < 0.05) on CP and ash contents of the CDF, however there were no significant effects (p > 0.05) due to (CT) and (SD) on CF and nutritive value. High retention value (> 80%) for nitrogen was reported for the treated CDF, immediately after opening the incubated material (zero SD). However, nitrogen retention decreased with increasing (SD) to 67% after one month (SD) but tended to stay at a fairly constant level of 67% until 3 months of storage. In experiment 2, the feeding value of treated CDF was evaluated in comparison to Rhodes grass hay, using growing goats and sheep. A $4{\times}2$ factorial design was used (Four roughage sources were used : Rhodes grass hay, untreated CDF, urea-treated CDF and CDF treated with urea + DS with sheep and goats as two animal species, using three animals / treatment). Untreated CDF had a similar feeding value to Rhodes grass hay. However treatment of CDF with urea alone or with urea + DS depressed animal performance of both goats and sheep, apparently due to depression of feed intake (appetite). Feeding untreated CDF decreased feeding cost by 29% and cost/kg gain by 23%. CDF showed a good potential as a cheap local roughage and emergency feed for ruminants in the Sultanate.

We identified cdf based on screening of the Arabidopsis cDNA library for functional suppressors of the AtBI-1 (a gene described to suppress the cell death induced by Bax gene expression in yeast). The cdf was located on Chr. V and was composed of 5 exons and 4 introns. It encodes a protein of 258 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 28.8 kDa. The protein has 3 transmembrane domains in the C-terminal region. The cdf has one homologue, named cdf2, which was found in Arabidopsis. Like cdf, cdf2 also induced growth defect in yeast. The effect of the cell growth defect factor was somewhat lower than Bax. cdf could arrest the growth of yeast. Its localization to the nucleus was essential for the suppression of yeast cell proliferation. Morphological abnormality of intracellular network, which is a hallmark of AtBI-1, was attenuated by expression of cdf.

Confined Disposal Facilities(CDF) are an effective and commonly used management option for contaminated dredged material. CDF is an engineered contstruction for containment of contaminated dredged material to control potential releases to the environment. Although the concept is simple, constructing a CDF is a complex and non-standard process. In the process of planning a CDF, many different fields of expertise have to be considered, such as civil engineering, landscaping, chemistry, legislation, social impact, and environmental engineering. This paper provides the concise overview of common guidance on CDF.
