Title: Association between diet quality, dietary patterns and cardiometabolic health in Australian adults: a cross-sectional study Version: 0 Date: 01 Nov 2017 Reviewer: Melanie Deschasaux Reviewer’s report: This is an interesting paper reporting on the association between diet and markers of cardiometabolic health. Strengths of this study pertains to the use of several methodological approache...

Three different mechanisms are presented to allow for the representation of 3D surfaces in such a way that key features are retained while at the same time ensuring compatibility with prediction (classification) techniques. The application domain is sheet metal forming. The representations are designed to capture the nature of the surface to be manufactured and predict deformations, known as “s...

The present study analyzed and compared the daily consumption of foods of animal origin in eleven communities of the Lower Amazon, Trombetas and Purus Rivers, representing three different management systems and levels of conservation in the Brazilian Amazon. All food items of animal origin were weighed by at least 10% of the families in the study communities during a week in each period of the ...

In this paper, a novel local texture descriptor termed as Local Block-Difference Pattern (LBDP) is proposed. In conventional LBP, sensitive to intensity change problem will drastically affect the performance due to its simple pixel value comparison mechanism. Different from LBP, the proposed LBDP describes the local textures from a pixel to a block for decreasing the impacts resulting from inte...

We present a novel approach for human gait recognition that inherently combines appearance and motion. Dynamic texture descriptors, Local Binary Patterns from Three Orthogonal Planes (LBP-TOP), are used to describe human gait in a spatiotemporal way. We also propose a new coding of multiresolution uniform Local Binary Patterns and use it in the construction of spatiotemporal LBP histograms. We ...

In this paper, we present and experiment a novel approach for retrieving 3D geometric texture patterns on 2D mesh-manifolds (i.e., surfaces in the 3D space) using local binary patterns (LBP) constructed on the mesh. The method is based on the recently proposed mesh-LBP framework [WBD15]. Compared to its depth-image counterpart, the mesh-LBP is distinguished by the following features: a) inherit...

Although the concept of process patterns is very promAbstract Process patterns allow the modular modelling and adaptable application of software processes. Present descriptions of process patterns show defects like non-uniform and unequivocal description forms and missing relationship definitions. These defects disadvantageously affect the effective usage of process patterns. In this work we pr...
