In this paper we present an online approach to human activity classification based on Online Growing Neural Gas (OGNG). In contrast to state-of-the-art approaches that perform training in an offline fashion, our approach is online in the sense that it circumvents the need to store any training examples, processing the data on the fly and in one pass. The approach is thus particularly suitable i...

The energy-efficient Adapteva Epiphany architecture exhibits massive many-core scalability in a physically compact 2D array of RISC cores with a fast network-on-chip (NoC). With fully divergent cores capable of MIMD execution, the physical topology and memory-mapped capabilities of the core and network translate well to partitioned global address space (PGAS) parallel programming models. Follow...

In this paper, we showcase a privacy-preserving query personalization system for experience items like movies, music, games, or books. Personalizing queries for such items is notoriously difficult as meaningful query attributes are either missing in the database or would require extensive domain knowledge not available to most users. For this reason, state-of-the-art content provision platforms...

background: an epidemiological study was carried out on the vector(s) and reservoir(s) of cutaneous leishmaniasis in rural areas of kalaleh district, golestan province during 2006 - 2007. methods: totally 4900 sand flies were collected using sticky papers and were subjected to molecular methods for de­tection of leishmanial parasite. results: phlebotomus papatasi was the common species in outdo...

recently, we have used the symmetric bracket of vector fields, and developed the notion of the symmetric derivation. using this machinery, we have defined the concept of symmetric curvature. this concept is natural and is related to the notions divergence and laplacian of vector fields. this concept is also related to the derivations on the algebra of symmetric forms which has been discus...

there is growing evidence that lectin-carbohydrate interactions can mediate the infection of parasites to their insect vector. many insect species are host or vectors of protozoan or metazoan parasites that cause socially and economically important disease such as malaria and leishmaniasis. however, relatively little work has been undertaken concerning the interaction of insect immunity against...

In many infeasible linear programs it is important to construct it to a feasible problem with a minimum pa-rameters changing corresponding to a given nonnegative vector. This paper defines a new inverse problem, called “inverse feasible problem”. For a given infeasible polyhedron and an n-vector a minimum perturba-tion on the parameters can be applied and then a feasible polyhedron is concluded.

Consider an exchangeable normal vector with parameters ????2, and ?. On the basis of a vector observation some tests about these parameters are found and their properties are discussed. A simulation study for these tests and a few nonparametric tests are presented. Some advantages and disadvantages of these tests are discussed and a few applications are given.

there are two different co-expression systems including bicistronic; dual-vector or two-promoter to express two different genes simultaneously and also to study protein-protein interactions. bicistronic system has disadvantages e.g. compared with two-promoter system. in this paper, a simple method based on spliced overlap extension by polymerase chain reaction (soe-pcr) technique was demonstrat...

Irregular phonation serves an important communicative function. It can be a cue to linguistic contrasts, and often serves as a marker for word and utterance boundaries. Automatic methods for classification and detection of regions of irregular phonation can be used to improve analyses of occurrences of irregular phonation and support technologies such as speech recognition and synthesis. This s...
