BACKGROUND Terminology in Speech-Language and Hearing Science. AIM To propose a specific thesaurus about the Speech-Language and Hearing Science, for the English, Portuguese and Spanish languages, based on the existing keywords available on the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS). METHOD Methodology was based on the pilot study developed by Campanatti-Ostiz and Andrade; that had as a purpose...

UNLABELLED Hub proteins (those engaged in most physical interactions in a protein interaction network (PIN) have recently gained much research interest due to their essential role in mediating cellular processes and their potential therapeutic value. It is straightforward to identify hubs if the underlying PIN is experimentally determined; however, theoretical hub prediction remains a very chal...

Surveillance video recording is becoming ubiquitous in daily life for public areas such as supermarkets, banks, and airports. The rate at which surveillance video is being generated has accelerated demand for machine understanding to enable better content-based search capabilities. Analyzing human activity is one of the key tasks to understand and search surveillance videos. In this thesis, we ...

In this paper, we present a novel scheme for content-based video retrieval by exploring the spatio-temporal information. A shot with significant content changes can be segmented into several subshots that are of coherent content, and shot similarity measure for video retrieval can be computed from the similarity between corresponding subshots. To characterize the temporal content variations in ...

This article presents an experimental study of the influence of velocity adaptation when recognizing spatio-temporal patterns using a histogram-based statistical framework. The basic idea consists of adapting the shapes of the filter kernels to the local direction of motion, so as to allow the computation of image descriptors that are invariant to the relative motion in the image plane between ...

Mayachitra Inc. team submitted runs for the TRECVID 2010 Multimedia Event Detection Pilot (MED) task evaluation. In this paper, we describe the preliminary set of results. The focus of this experiment for the Mayachitra Inc. team was to implement an end-to-end pilot system for multimedia event detection that (i) processes video,extracts and stores state-ofart video descriptors (ii) learns compl...
