Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil 91501-970 fwgaviao,[email protected] Abstract In hospital practice, several diagnostic hysteroscopy videos are produced daily. These videos are continuous (non-interrupted) video sequences, usually recorded in full. However, only a f...

Since the introduction of catch quotas the value of the Southern Rocklobster fishery has been largely influenced by rocklobster price. Current consumer demand for red, platesized individuals has resulted in less value per kilogram for landed rocklobsters that are large and white. Adding value by creating new products would allow processing companies to obtain better returns from that proportion...

The formalization of time granularity, the study of computational methods to manipulate granularities and their applications have been the subject of much research in the recent years. This paper aims at filling the gap between symbolic representations defined thrugh calendar algebras and mathematical representations defined through periodical sets of instants. Considering a specific calendar a...

Since existing injustices and the quest for justice are seen to be the main causes for violent clashes, it is often claimed that the restoration of justice must be the most important goal of post-conflict reconstruction. However, the current policy approaches, social movements and theoretical models for conflict resolution tend to look at justice from merely technical point of view, as a rapid ...

There is a growing demand for translation. To meet this demand, many translation companies are introducing a hybrid technology solution combining translation memory and machine translation. However, few trainee translators receive training in machine translation postediting. This paper asks the question: Why should translator training programmes teach post-editing skills? Is post-editing the sa...

RNA ISH (Ribonucleic acid in situ hybridization) assays are an ever-expanding application due to the ability to evaluate molecular targets with the added benefit of retaining tissue morphology. The rate limiting step in RNA ISH assays is the time consuming and error prone method of manually counting signal when reviewing under a microscope. The Aperio RNA ISH algorithm offers a reproducible, fa...

pon differentiation, many cell types no longer proliferate in response to growth factor–activated MAPK. But MAPK has more than just mitogenic effects, and the cells must still activate and respond to MAPK to adjust lipid metabolism, protein synthesis, and other cellular functions. On page 689, Smith et al. identify a simple, yet until now elusive, mechanism by which cells uncouple MAPK's prolif...

This book is dealing with some approaches to analysis of specific social networks called company networks. These company networks emerge from interactions between companies, where a lot of these interactions are recorded by publicly accessible sources. Our work is designing and implementing methods of heterogeneous sources’ cleansing, aggregation and integration into comprehensive data model of...

The neo-Fregean project of basing mathematics on abstraction principles faces “the bad company problem,” namely that a great variety of unacceptable abstraction principles are mixed in among the acceptable ones. In this paper I propose a new solution to the problem, based on the idea that individuation must take the form of a well-founded process. A surprising aspect of this solution is that ev...

A Final Word page 7 D espite the robust growth of the U.S. economy in the late 1990s, uncertainties in the global marketplace and changes in the economic and competitive environment have forced companies everywhere to reevaluate their current ways of doing business. Who could have predicted the rapid impact of e-technology on business? Who would have anticipated the effects of regional financia...
