Background: Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, have beneficial effects on human health, but their effect gene expression in elderly individuals (age ≥ 65) is largely unknown. In order to examine this, the profiles were analyzed healthy subjects (n = 96) at baseline after 26 weeks of supplementation with EPA+DHA determine ...

Image segmentation is a basic early vision problem which serves as precursor to many high level vision problems. Color image segmentation provides more information while solving high level vision problems such as, object recognition, shape analysis etc. Therefore, the problem of color image segmentation has been addressed more vigorously for more than one decade. Different color models such as ...

Impagliazzo andWigderson IW have recently shown that if there exists a decision problem solvable in time O n and having circuit complexity n for all but nitely many n then P BPP This result is a culmination of a series of works showing connections between the existence of hard predicates and the existence of good pseudorandom generators The construction of Impagliazzo andWigderson goes through ...

We consider cost sharing for a class of facility location games, where the strategy spaceof each player consists of the bases of a player-specific matroid defined on the set of re-sources. We assume that resources have nondecreasing load-dependent costs and player-specific delays. Our model includes the important special case of capacitated facility loca-tion problems, where...

It is now well established that jointattention is a key capability for sociallyinteracting robots (Brooks et al., 1999,Kaplan and Hafner, 2004, Scassellati, 1999,Itti, 2003). It is also a key component forepigenetic robotic applications in general.This subject has been widely discussedand we present here one specific technicalimprovement for joint attention which...
