The challenge of insulin use during Ramadan could be minimized, if people with diabetes are metabolically stable and are provided with structured education for at least 2-3 months pre-Ramadan. Although, American diabetes association (ADA) recommendations 2010 and South Asian Consensus Guideline 2012 deal with management of diabetes in Ramadan and changes in insulin dosage, no specific guidance ...

The objective of this study is to use differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to characterize the curing kinetics of Al2O3 and hydroxyapatite suspensions in acrylates. The heat evolution of the acrylate premix and ceramic suspensions in dynamic and isothermal curing was measured. The calculated activation energies for the acrylate premix and the two ceramic suspensions were 133, 74, and 78 kJ/m...

Methodologies for the determination of vitamin B(2) in food matrixes and a premix using simple sample conditioning steps coupled with a convenient and cheap electrochemical sensing device are presented. Electrochemical analysis based on differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) coupled to carbon electrodes gave a well-defined reduction peak at -0.42 V versus a Ag/AgCl quasi-reference electrode. Usin...

ruffling is a practice through which the mycelia containing casing soil will be thoroughly mixed. to evaluate the effects of ruffling of different casing soils in button mushroom production, an experiment was conducted comprised of three levels of ruffling; no ruffling, deep ruffling vs. superficial scratch and eight different types of casing soils, namely: holland peat (c1), north peat (c2), s...

This supplementary material provides additional details and examples. Section 2 goes further into detail about the relation between training and test architecture and about the detection context layer. Section 3 illustrates what raw detections of the detector and the Gnet look like. Section 4 shows some exemplary detections for GreedyNMS and Gnet. Section 5 shows additional COCO person results....

In this paper we focus on the problem of mammographic interpretation and in the construction of a computerized system to assess physicians in this task. We propose a solution based on fuzzy systems, and apply our fuzzy modeling methodology—Fuzzy CoCo—to find systems exhibiting both good performance and high interpretability. The results presented show the capacity of Fuzzy CoCo to find systems ...

To interact effectively, agents must enter into commitments. What should an agent do when these commitments conflict? We describe Coco, an approach for reasoning about which specific commitments apply to specific parties in light of general types of commitments, specific circumstances, and dominance relations among specific commitments. Coco adapts answer-set programming to identify a maximal s...

in order to evaluate the possibility use of palm waste cellulose as a substitute substrate for growing pot plants, an experiment was conducted in completely randomized block design with 6 replication and six treatments on aglaonema sp. the treatments were 5 levels including 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 palm celluloid wastes mixed with different rates of some amendments such as peat, coconut coir, perl...

Proteins are mostly used to stabilize food emulsions; however, production of protein containing emulsions is notoriously difficult to capture in scaling relations due to the complex behavior of proteins in interfaces, in combination with the dynamic nature of the emulsification process. Here, we investigate premix membrane emulsification and use the Ohnesorge number to derive a scaling relation...

In this paper, we discover and annotate visual attributes for the COCO dataset. With the goal of enabling deeper object understanding, we deliver the largest attribute dataset to date. Using our COCO Attributes dataset, a fine-tuned classification system can do more than recognize object categories – for example, rendering multi-label classifications such as “sleeping spotted curled-up cat” ins...
