We introduce the process of ontology alignment we use for the experiments here. The general process and an efficient algorithm for it have been presented in [ES04b,ES04a]. The presented approach is only capable of extracting semantical identity. Subsumption or complex alignments are currently not supported. To find out whether two entities can be aligned we rely on rules which indicate support ...

This study explores the relationship between perceived bridging social capital and specific Facebook-enabled communication behaviors using survey data from a sample of U.S. adults (N=614). We explore the role of a specific set of Facebook behaviors that support relationship maintenance and assess the extent to which demographic variables, time on site, total and “actual” Facebook Friends, and t...

Many different shape from shading (SFS) algorithms have emerged during the last three decades. Recently, we proposed [1] a unified framework that is capable of solving the SFS problem under various settings of imaging conditions representing the image irradiance equation of each setting as an explicit Partial Differential Equation (PDE). However, the result of any SFS algorithm is mainly affect...

We present a facial view synthesis technique based on explicit shape and reflectance information extracted from a single image. The technique combines an image based reflectance estimation process with a novel method of interpolating between needle-maps recovered using shape from shading. This allows images of a face to be synthesised under novel lighting, pose and skin reflectance given only o...

This article describes the experiences and perceived needs of a small cohort of parents of children with holoprosencephaly (HPE). The factors that are important to the lives of children vary across families and stages of development. As children living with HPE grow and change, parents adapt their goals and expectations to reflect their child's now and future state. Relevant literature is integ...

It is information society nowadays, with the rapidly growing popularity of the Internet, more and more people surf the Internet every day. Audio, video and hot web site become more and more popular, resulting in the sharply increase of redundant flow, a great waste of bandwidth, and consumedly reduce the quality of network service. Therefore, people are trying their best to seek a method to sol...

The demo paper introduces SURF , a tool for supporting the subjectoriented redesign of workplaces in production companies. The collaborative tool, inspired by the wiki and the subject-oriented philosophy, allows workers to raise issues and suggest solutions to be exposed to managers for workplace re-design purposes. The advantage of the tool is twofold. On the one hand it empowers workers, maki...

The determination of Region-of-Interest has been recognised as an important means by which unimportant image content can be identified and excluded during image compression or image modelling, however existing Region-of-Interest detection methods are computationally expensive thus are mostly unsuitable for managing large number of images and the compression of images especially for real-time vi...

i found one article on the website of ijmtfm, which had studied the consequences of aspiration of gastric contents in acute poisoning patients (1). it was informative. unfortunately, there are some errors in that article, which i would like to bring to your kind attention.

in this work, some of the lattice plasmon quantum features are examined. Initially, the interaction of the far-field photonic mode and the nanoparticle plasmon mode is investigated. We probe the optical properties of the array plasmon that are dramatically affected by the array geometry. It is notable to mention that the original goal of this work is to examine the quantum feature of the array ...
