Abstract: A method of managing settings of properties of an image forming device includes receiving a first selection of properties from a user to create a set of properties of the image forming device, assigning a name of a user setting group to represent the set of properties and storing the user setting group having the assigned name, receiving a second selection of properties from the user, comparing the second selection of properties to the set of properties of the stored user setting group having the assigned name, and associating the assigned name of the stored user setting group with a user setting group having the second selection of properties when the set of properties is identical to the second selection of properties. Therefore, the method of managing settings of properties can effectively manage settings of properties of the image forming device to prevent creation of unnecessary user setting groups.

Abstract: A software package comprising a variable describing a state of a device, the variable having an assigned name, a mapping module including a mapping between the assigned name and a routine, wherein the routine accesses the variable and a dynamic receiving module receiving and storing, without recompiling the software package, a correlation between a common name for the variable and the assigned name, a request, including the common name of the variable being fulfilled by consulting the stored correlation. Further, a software package operating on a device comprising a reading module to read software code in a file, the software code including a correlation between a common name and an assigned name for a variable and a dynamic correlation module receiving the correlation from the reading module and storing, without recompiling the software package, the correlation.

Abstract: In major international cities, the difficulty of finding affordable housing has often resulted in an increased demand for shared housing, i.e. sharing an apartment/house with others. However, a policy-relevant question is if this very informal market is equally available to everyone regardless of ethnic background. To investigate this, we conduct a field experiment in the London market for shared housing. In the experiment, we send fictitious applications, with a randomly assigned name signalling a British, Eastern-European, Indian, African or Arabic background, to more than 5,000 room advertisers. Our main finding is that ethnic discrimination is widespread. The situation is worst for applicants with an Arabic name, while applicants with an Eastern-European name are least affected and applicants with an African or Indian name are found somewhere in-between. Moreover, the results indicate that a substantial fraction of these differences reflects statistical discrimination. Finally, we find that the degree of discrimination varies with the ethnic residential concentration. This suggests that discrimination contributes to maintaining the current situation in London, where ethnic minorities tend to live in certain areas and often separated from the ethnic majority.

Abstract: Background: Excepting amnesia, impairment of other domains also hampers the activity of daily living in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although prosopagnosia poses problem in interacting with other persons, it rarely causes problem during interaction with close relatives as known voice acts as cue for recognition. Objective: In a cohort of AD, we planned to study errors in recognition, naming, and assigning relationship of close relatives, to assess the type and frequency of errors and to explain with current knowledge and hypothesis. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Memory Clinic of Medical College Hospital, Kolkata, India, between July 2013 and June 2015. Patients were evaluated by history, general neurological examination, and neuropsychological tests. A structured questionnaire was used to assess recognition (use of honorifics) and naming defect of close relatives. Results: AD was diagnosed in 42 patients. Prosopagnosia was found in 14 and anomia in 6 patients. Four patients exhibited problem during conversation with close relatives. They assigned name and relation of one generation earlier to close relatives with proper recognitions. Discussion: We got predictive error of name and relation assignment of close relatives by one generation back with normal recognition. It can be explained by two memory traces in connection of face-visual and name (with/without relation) representation, earlier being hierarchically older and more resistant to wearing. Conclusions: We hypothesize that the name/relation store is orderly conserved. In AD, after degradation of part of name/relation store, a new wiring might be built up between these two traces.
