In this scenario, the discussion on adequate food providing not only energy and essential nutrients, but also non-nutrient constituents arises. When gathering these constituents, beneficial physiological effects are identified, such as the prevention or retardation of conditions, as cardiovascular disease, cancer, intestinal inf...

This paper reviews the IS security literature for the period 1990-2004. More specifically three security journals and the top twenty IS journals were examined. In total 1280 papers were analysed in terms of theories, research methods and research topics. Our research found that 1043 of the papers contained no theory. In addition, almost 1000 of the papers were categorized as ‘subjective-argumen...

Internet of Things (IoTs) based prototype is used for disaster risk analysis and effective pre and post management of disaster stricken areas. Data mining techniques along with IoT are used to facilitate information sharing as early as possible and to ensure participation of as many as private and public service providers for major disaster prediction and recovery processes. The main challenge ...

The Fuzzy Gene Filter (FGF) is an optimised Fuzzy Inference System designed to rank genes in order of differential expression, based on expression data generated in a microarray experiment. This paper examines the effectiveness of the FGF for feature selection using various classification architectures. The FGF is compared to three of the most common gene ranking algorithms: t-test, Wilcoxon te...

A questionnaire study was done to assess the awareness of malocclusion among patients visiting a private college in Chennai. It contained eight questions that could assess the patients knowledge about malocclusion, problems associated with it and initiative taken to visit an orthodontists to get it treated.

Any bivariate cdf is bounded by the Fréchet-Hoeffding lower and upper bounds. We illustrate the importance of the upper bound in several ways. Any bivariate distribution can be written in terms of this bound, which is implicit in logit analysis and the Lorenz curve, and can be used in goodness-of-fit assesment. Any random variable can be expanded in terms of some functions related to this bound...

Because of our ability to diagnose the majority of external and middle ear conditions by otoscopy, the history is often of little additional value in reaching a diagnosis. Thus in a patient with otoscopic evidence of chronic otitis media, the object of taking a history is not to make the diagnosis but to assess the resultant disability and to plan management. Equally, if an audiogram is availab...
