the effects of coatingtreatments (waxand plasticbags) combined with methylsalicylate on the fruit quality and chilling injury of moro blood orange were studied during storage. treated fruits were kept in storage for 80 days at 5 oc and 90-95% relative humidity. some characteristics such as pulp and skin total phenolics, antioxidant capacity, total anthocyanin, lipid peroxidation, and the chilli...

This article presents a proposal to automate the classification of viability for yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae species, responsible for the commercial production of ethanol, using as attribute the color absorbed by vital dye methylene blue. The methodology is used widely in the Brazilians distilleries and consist in count the colorless cells that are considered feasible, separate them from col...

In this paper, the “Weighted Overlapping” Disambiguation method is presented and evaluated. This method extends the Lesk’s approach to disambiguate a specific word appearing in a context (usually a sentence). Sense’s definitions of the specific word, “Synset” definitions, the “Hypernymy” relation, and definitions of the context features (words in the same sentence) are retrieved from the WordNe...

This paper presents a higher level representation for videos aiming at video genre retrieval. In video genre retrieval, there is a challenge that videos may comprise multiple categories, for instance, news videos may be composed of sports, documentary, and action. Therefore, it is interesting to encode the distribution of such genres in a compact and effective manner. We propose to create a vis...

Nowadays a lot of satellite images are being received every day from several satellite sensors and with different resolutions. These images, especially Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery (such as Ikonosand and Quickbird) provide valuable information to researchers for different applications. Because amount of remotely sensed data is enormous, for a human expert, manually extracting th...

Statistical spam filters are known to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks. One of the more common adversarial attacks, known as the good word attack, thwarts spam filters by appending to spam messages sets of “good” words, which are words that are common in legitimate email but rare in spam. We present a counterattack strategy that attempts to differentiate spam from legitimate email in the in...
