Six inhalable aerosol samplers were evaluated experimentally as area samplers using monodisperse solid particles with aerodynamic diameters ranging from 5 to 68 mm. Sampler performance and inside particle loss at two test wind speeds (0.55 and 1.1 m/sec) and three wind orientations (0, 90, and 180 degrees) were investigated. The six inhalable aerosol samplers tested were a RESPICONTM sampler, a...

Scientific publications are an important kind of user-generated content, which contains not only high-quality content but also structures, e.g. citations. Scientific publication analysis has attracted much attention in both database and data mining research community. In this demonstration, we present a system, named as Acarp, for analyzing research papers in database community. The relationshi...

We consider the problem of detecting rooftops in overhead images, which is one processing step in a building detection system. Currently, the system uses a hand-configured linear classifier to select the most promising rooftop candidates for further processing. We present results from an empirical study in which we used machine learning methods to acquire the selection criteria for rooftops. RO...

The relaunch of Acta Crystallographica Section E in June heralded its transformation from Structure Reports Online to Crystallographic Communications and saw the publication of the first papers in the new Research Communication format designed to bring out the science behind the structure determination. Reports are no longer limited to a short description of a single structure and figures are n...

Countries vary greatly with respect to total expenditure as well as the fraction of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) they invest in science (Jaffe et al., 2013). Poor countries spend very little because government revenues are small and scientific research tends to be seen as a luxury in comparison with education, health care, infrastructure development, debt repayment and even military spending. S...

In this report we provide an overview of current CS specific on-line learning resources and guidance on how one might best go about extending an LMS to include such tools and resources.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: One of the methods to measure scientific achievement in a particular field is bibliometric analysis of scientific publications. The main goals of this study were bibliometric analysis of Iranian periodontal literature, study design, and topics investigated in periodontal research published from 1995 to 2015 in PubMed.METHODS: PubMed search strategy was developed to identify ...
