First Story Detection is hard because the most accurate systems become progressively slower with each document processed. We present a novel approach to FSD, which operates in constant time/space and scales to very high volume streams. We show that when computing novelty over a large dataset of tweets, our method performs 192 times faster than a state-of-the-art baseline without sacrificing acc...

Our long-term goal is to develop a robust, high-resolution coupled sea ice–ocean modeling and assimilation system that is capable of accurately predicting sea ice conditions in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas (CBS) on seasonal time scales. Our primary interest is the ability to realistically simulate the evolution of the multicategory ice thickness and floe size dis...

Defining and measuring Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) is a complex and challenging task. Several factors have confounded the theory and measurement of FSD including: the use of an inappropriate male paradigm; difficulty in capturing the complexity of women's sexual response; an evolving but presently untested nosology; and the relative independence between subjective and objective aspects of w...

Fan-shaped deposits (FSDs) extending to the northwest of the Tharsis Montes on Mars are the remnants of Amazonian-aged, cold-based, tropical mountain glaciers. We use high-resolution images to perform new impact crater size-frequency distribution (CSFD) analyses on these deposits in an effort to constrain the timing and duration of ice accumulation at tropical latitudes on Mars. This analysis r...

Introduction: A non-gadolinium-enhanced MRA technique using ECG-triggered 3D balanced SSFP with flow-sensitive dephasing (FSD) preparation has recently been developed and validated in the distal lower extremities of healthy volunteers [1]. The FSD’s first-order gradient moment, m1, is shown to be the most important parameter to determine angiographic quality. A suboptimal m1 may result in venou...

Fig. 3. FSD gradient strength has significant effect on arterial SNR and image quality score, and also substantial effect on artery-vein CNR (p-value shown in each panel). All five gradient strengths were able to generate MRA images with satisfactory diagnostic quality. G=10mT/m resulted in the highest SNR, CNR, and image score (* indicates significant difference from other groups using paired ...

In this article, we review five instruments for assessing female sexual dysfunction (FSD): the Brief Index of Sexual Functioning for Women (BISF-W; Taylor, Rosen, & Leiblum, 1994), the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (CSFQ; Clayton, McGarvy, & Clavet, 1997), the Derogatis Interview for Sexual Functioning (DISF/DISF-SR; Derogatis, 1997), the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI; Rosen ...

Abstract The correlation of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) with the degree glycemic control, duration and complications diabetic disease cardiovascular risk factors are not so clear. aim this study was to assess prevalence FSD in a sample females type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), identify involved its pathogenesis. We enrolled 81 who have T2DM. administered function index (FSFI), self-rating an...

BACKGROUND Gun violence is a controversial public health issue plagued by a lack of recent research. We sought to provide a 13-y overview of firearm hospitalizations in Pennsylvania, analyzing trends in mode, intent, and outcome. We hypothesized that no adjusted change in mortality or functional status at discharge (FSD) would be observed for gunshot wound (GSW) victims over the study period. ...

This paper presents a Quantitative Method of estimating manpower resources for large programming jobs which represents a simple, feasible guideline. The method combines program structural data with historical data on the productivity of programming groups. This data is then adjusted to cover non-programming resource requirements. This is not a precise method and, in fact, it is not as good as a...
