This Coastal and Hydraulic Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) summarizes the state of understanding of the influence of grain size on surf zone sediment transport and is a companion to Smith et al. (2004). This CHETN discusses details of bed-load and suspended load transport, and the classical bed-load regime is shown to encompass two distinct modes of transport. Four LST models with varying le...

In face processing tasks, prior presentation of internal facial features, when compared with external ones, facilitates the recognition of subsequently displayed familiar faces. In a previous ERP study (Olivares & Iglesias, 2010) we found a visibly larger N400-like effect when identity mismatch familiar faces were preceded by internal features, as compared to prior presentation of external ones...

This paper describes the methods we have employed to solve the author profiling task at PAN-2013. Our goal was to use simple features to identify the age group and the gender of the author of a given text. We introduce the features, detail how the classifiers were trained, and how the experiments were run.

1) In univariate analyses of population-based observational data, are there direct relations of dietary SFAs to CHD? 2) In multivariate analyses controlled for possible confounders, are there independent direct relations of dietary SFAs to CHD? 3) Is the SFA-CHD relation similar for ‘‘hard’’ fatal CHD and ‘‘soft’’ total CHD? 4) Do limitations in quality of dietary data in epidemiologic studies ...

Although isolates of filamentous basidiomycetes can usually be recognized in a clinical laboratory setting, identification is problematic, as they seldom exhibit diagnostic morphological features formed in nature. This paper is the first report of Inonotus (Phellinus) tropicalis inciting human disease and describes the methods used to support the identification.

Background Few evidence-based best practice bioinformatics guidelines exist for genotyping using next-generation sequencing data, especially colorspace data produced by Life Technologies sequencers. Dozens of software packages can perform the various steps required, and genome features such as pseudogenes or large paralogous gene families are problematic. High false positive and negative rates ...

Stochastic Local Search (SLS) algorithms for Multiobjective Combinatorial Optimization Problems (MCOPs) typically involve the selection and parameterization of many algorithm components whose role with respect to their overall performance and relation to certain instance features is often not clear. This fact is becoming more problematic because of the recent trend in solving MCOPs that is givi...

Abstract Purpose of Review Over the last decade, problematic smartphone use (PSU) and social media (PSMU) have emerged as new potential behaviours. Several studies suggested that smartphones are predominantly used for purposes (i.e., using messaging apps networking sites). The aim current article is to provide a systematic review extant literature has explicitly analysed association between PSU...

issue, that of the increasing shortage of kidneys available for transplantation worldwide (1). As a solution for India, Kaushik favours the introduction of the “presumed consent” system to allow retrieval of organs from recently deceased persons. In this system, unless an individual has specifically expressed, in writing, during her/his lifetime, that he/she is unwilling to donate an organ foll...
