OBJECTIVE To document the hydatid cyst cases in the endemic Cukurova region of Turkey, by their involvement sites in the body, and discuss the clinical and morphological features of the cases with rare localization. METHODS Archival materials of 153 hydatid cyst cases that were diagnosed in 2 different medical centers in Adana, Turkey Cukurova region between the years 2000-2006 were included ...

We present a simple, but expressive type system that supports strong updates—updating a memory cell to hold values of unrelated types at different points in time. Our formulation is based upon a standard linear lambda calculus and, as a result, enjoys a simple semantic interpretation for types that is closely related to models for spatial logics. The typing interpretation is strong enough that,...

There is a large amount of information that can be extracted automatically from social media messages. Of particular interest are the topics discussed by the users, the opinions and emotions expressed, and the events and the locations mentioned. This work focuses on machine learning methods for detecting locations from Twitter messages, because the extracted locations can be useful in business,...

The orthocentroidal circle of a non-equilateral triangle has diameter GH where G is the centroid and H is the orthocenter. We show that the Fermat, Gergonne and symmedian points are confined to, and range freely over the interior disk punctured at its center. The Mittenpunkt is also confined to and ranges freely over another punctured disk, and the second Fermat point is confined to and ranges ...

Harnessing the latent knowledge present in geospatial trajectories allows for the potential to revolutionise our understanding of behaviour. This paper discusses one component of such analysis, namely the extraction of significant locations. Specifically, we: (i) present the Gradient-based Visit Extractor (GVE) algorithm capable of extracting periods of low mobility from geospatial data, while ...

We present a bootstrapping approach to infer new proteins, locations and protein-location pairs by combining UniProt seed proteinlocation pairs with dependency paths from a large collection of text. Of the top 20 system proposed protein-location pairs, 18 were in UniProt or supported by online evidence. Interestingly, 3 of the top 20 locations identified by the system were in the UniProt descri...

a r t i c l e i n f o JEL classification: F12 F15 R11 R12 Keywords: Heterogeneous taste and quality Spatial selection Economic geography Agglomeration Home market effect In this paper, we develop an economic geography model in which firms sell product varieties with heterogeneous demands. We show that firms that sell products with higher demand choose to establish their plants in larger countri...

Location-based services usually recommend new locations based on the user’s current location or a given destination. However, human mobility involves to a large extent routine behavior and visits to already visited locations. In this paper, we show how daily and weekly routines can be modeled with basic prediction techniques. We compare the methods based on their performance, entropy and correl...

Background. After discharge from an acute care setting, elderly cardiac patients take a variety of medications in the horne setting. Their pharmacologic regimens are often quite complex, and may involve drugs from several therapeutic categories. Patterns of medication use can be one measure of patient status after discharge because they can indicate whether medical conditions are stabilized. A ...

Human mobility patterns are inherently complex. In terms of understanding these patterns, the process of converting raw data into series of stop-locations and transitions is an important first step which greatly reduces the volume of data, thus simplifying the subsequent analyses. Previous research into the mobility of individuals has focused on inferring 'stop locations' (places of stationarit...
