We are describing collaborative authoring technology over the network. One of the components in our authoring technology is photo recommendation system, in which recommended photos will be used in collaborative video authoring and social album. The recommended photos are derived from Facebook, by referring properties of photos currently available on the authoring library. The photo properties i...

We developed 11 polymorphic microsatellite [simple sequence repeat (SSR)] loci from genomic DNA of Veratrum album ssp. oxysepalum using a dual-suppression polymerase chain reaction technique and an improved method. These markers, with four to 17 alleles per locus, identified 47 genotypes in 48 samples collected from a population in Hokkaido, Japan. The observed and expected heterozygosities ran...

A 52-year-old male patient who underwent multiple wedge resections experienced postoperative acute respiratory distress syndrome in both lungs after Viscum album pleurodesis. Despite initial rapid deterioration in clinical condition and rapid progression of bilateral lung infiltration, he exhibited a relatively smooth clinical recovery with marked response to glucocorticoid treatment. Our case ...

The paper aims to present a possibility of the intermedial analysis of Viktor Tsoy’s rock album “Blood Type”. The rock-album is analyzed as a literary cycle, and different intertextual connections with literary traditions are demonstrated in it. The poet shows the specific art world in which there is a new character like Hamlet, who tries to perceive the world out of illusions. Victor Tsoy used...

Improving biodiversity conservation in fragmented agricultural landscapes has become an important global issue. Vegetation at the patch and landscape-scale is important for species occupancy and diversity, yet few previous studies have explored multi-scale associations between vegetation and community assemblages. Here, we investigated how patch and landscape-scale vegetation cover structure wo...

Digital photo album softwares like iPhoto have enjoyed great popularity for years. These years, online photo album services (e.g., Flickr and Picasa) have been becoming more and more popular with the development of social Web. In this paper, we demonstrate our effort called TuneSensor to recommend music for photo albums automatically. In particular, we exploit semantic data to represent both im...

Music Recommendation Systems often recommend individual songs, as opposed to entire albums. The challenge is to generate reviews for each song, since only full album reviews are available on-line. We developed a summarizer that combines information extraction and generation techniques to produce summaries of reviews of individual songs. We present an intrinsic evaluation of the extraction compo...

background: there are many therapeutic methods for allergic conditions. cpg oli-gonucleotides play a critical role in immunity via the augmentation of th1 and suppres-sion of th2 responses. objective: in the present study we aimed to estimate the effec-tiveness of intranasal administration of cpg odn plus chenopodium album allergen in allergic asthma compared with the administration of allergen...

In this paper, we propose new photo categorization which is suitable for a home photo album. To enhance the categorization, both local and global concepts of the photos are modeled and their combined concept learning method for the photo categorization is proposed. The local and global concepts are trained by individual support vector machines. Region templates for the local concepts of generic...

a HPlc method with dad detection for determination of melatonin in Lamium album flos was developed. The analysis was carried out on rP18 column using mixture of methanol and water (28:72 v/v) as a mobile phase. established calibration curve (r>0.9994), precision (rds values ranged from 0.5% to 1.5%), detection limit (0.025 μg/ml) and quantification limit (0.076 μg/ml) were found to be satisfact...
