Besides text and images, contemporary e-books can include multimedia, interactivity, pronunciation information text-to-speech ready content. The current EPUB 3 standard provides all the technical solutions necessary for designing displaying highly functional content rich e-books, but implementation is impaired by e-reader industry, publishers distributors. Local global book digitization has bee...

objectives this study aimed to measure road traffic fatality rates and years of lost life, and also to depict a view of trends in road traffic deaths from 2004 to 2010 in yazd city, a province in central iran. materials and methods this retrospective case study analyzed road traffic deaths that were classified under the v01 - v99 codes of the icd-10 in yazd province from march 2004 to march 201...

background: qeshm (26.75n, 55.82e), iran, is 1500 km² island in the strait of hormuz. qeshm is a free trade zone, acting as an important channel for international commerce, and has been the site of much recent development. there is potential risk of stinging ant attacks for residents and visitors that may occur in the island. the aims of this study were to find out the fauna, dispersion, and so...

the basis of this paper has been planned on the functions of the meniscus and its effects. i.e. the existence of meniscus will prevent arthritis in other word torn-off (wholly meniscus and/or partly) will lead to suffering from arthritis. in view of the above, it is reasonable that attempt will be made to amend the torn meniscus instead of the surgical removal (meniscectom). the amendment may b...

The Potential Energy Surface PES of (H2)2 dimer has been investigated, using five simple rigid rotor models. These models are called: head to head, symmetric side to side, L , steplike and T model. All calculations were done at two levels of ab initio  methods: MP2(Full) and QCISD (T,Full) using cc-pVTZ basis set at singlet state of spin multiplicity. The results of scanning PES were then fitte...

Minkowski in 1908 used space-like binary velocity-field of a medium, relative to an observer. Hestenes in 1974 introduced, within a Clifford algebra, an axiomatic binary relative velocity as a Minkowski bivector. We propose consider binary relative velocity as a traceless nilpotent endomorphism in an operator algebra. Any concept of a binary axiomatic relative velocity made possible the replace...

Historically, programming languages have been—benevolent—dictators: reducing all possible semantics to specific ones offered by a few built-in language constructs. Over the years, some programming languages have freed the programmers from the restrictions to use only built-in libraries, built-in data types, and builtin type-checking rules. Even though—arguably—such freedom could lead to anarchy...

We consider the problem of estimating the distribution underlying an observed sample of data. Instead of maximum likelihood, which maximizes the probability of the observed values, we propose a different estimate, the high-profile distribution, which maximizes the probability of the observed profile—the number of symbols appearing any given number of times. We determine the high-profile distrib...
