This paper investigates differential topic models (dTM) for summarizing the differences among document groups. Starting from a simple probabilistic generative model, we propose dTM-SAGE that explicitly models the deviations on group-specific word distributions to indicate how words are used differentially across different document groups from a background word distribution. It is more effective...

introduction: pyrethroids are important insecticides because of their high activity and low mammalian toxicity. some studies have demonstrated that these insecticides, especially compounds with an -cyano group, produce toxic effects on various biological systems. deltamethrin (dtm) is a type ii synthetic pyrethroid insecticide containing -cyano group and is used worldwide in agriculture, home...

BACKGROUND Previous studies demonstrated that digital thermal monitoring (DTM) of vascular reactivity, a new test for vascular function assessment, is well correlated with Framingham Risk Score, coronary calcium score and CT angiography. This study evaluates the variability and reproducibility of DTM measurements. We hypothesized that DTM is reproducible, and its variability falls within the ac...

The paper introduces the extraction of objects that are higher than their surroundings, like houses, trees, or bridges, by the segmentation of a DTM (digital terrain model). We propose a new algorithm (called dual rank) to extract the ground in the DTM, which can be seen as an extension of the gray opening. The extraction of high objects can simply be done via thresholding using the preprocesse...

The evolution of fiber optics has made it possible to build high speed communication systems, gigabit (per second) networks. Gigabit networks have enough capacity to integrate traffic from several applications, such as video, audio and computer traffic, into one network. Techniques for gigabit networks, such as packet, cell and circuit switching, have been evaluated at different gigabit testbed...

ABSTRACT: Digital terrain models (DTM) have become a commonly used source of data describing the shape of the Earth. Resolution determines the level of details that can be represented in this model. Changing the resolution influences the accuracy of the DTM. The effect of a resolution is even more clearly seen in slope and aspect calculation. Despite the resolution, there are different methods ...

Introduction: Integration science based on KAGUYA and other missions requires spatial registration of different types of data sets. For example, two types of topographic data sets; Digital Terrain Model (DTM) in 10m/pixel based on stereoscopic images of Terrain Camera (TC) in the Lunar Imager/Spectrometer (LISM) and lunar surface profiles in 1km interval derived from Laser Altimeter (LALT). The...

background and objective: molecular epidemiological studies have shown that certain genotypes of mycobacterium tuberculosis (mtb) are over-represented in limited geographical regions, suggesting of evolution of certain genotypes with increasing virulence and pathogenicity. beijing strain of mtb was initially described by its potential to cause outbreaks worldwide and its association with drug r...
