The wide spread of mobile devices in the consumer market has posed a number of new issues in the design of internet applications and their user interfaces. In particular, applications need to adapt their interaction modalities to different portable devices, like cellular phones and handhelds. In this paper we address the problem of defining models and techniques for designing internet based app...

Optokinetic nystagmus is the term applied to the nystagmus evoked by a succession of moving objects passing before the eyes (Brain, 1962). It has proved useful as a diagnostic tool in the examination of patients with neurological disease (Cogan, 1956; Huber, 1961; Smith, 1963; Walsh, 1957). Methods of inducing and suppressing optokinetic nystagmus have also been used as the basis for objective ...

In many QA systems, fine-grained named entities are extracted by coarse-grained named entity recognizer and fine-grained named entity dictionary. In this paper, we describe a fine-grained Named Entity Recognition using Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) for question answering. We used CRFs to detect boundary of named entities and Maximum Entropy (ME) to classify named entity classes. Using the pr...

Abstract Background and Aims Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients have been identified as a high-risk group for COVID-19 infection. Serological testing can be used to monitor disease prevalence & evaluate screening measures protocols aiming at limiting transmission within dialysis units. This study was conducted observe the sero of infection among maintenance patients. Method The during ...

This study elucidates the entire methodology adopted for development of a scale to measure farmers’ attitude towards innovation use (AIU) in rice farming. To farmers farming, comprehensive list 30 statements was developed by thoroughly reviewing literature available and modifying some items from pre-existing scales. The this Likert-type were following criteria put forward Edwards Kilpatrick (19...

This paper is concerned with characterizations of those linear, closed, but not necessarily densely defined operators A on a Banach space E with nonempty resolvent set for which the abstract Cauchy problem u'(t) = Au(t), u(0) = x has unique, exponentially bounded solutions for every initial value x e D(A). Investigating these operators we are led to the class of "integrated semigroups". Among o...

The existence of at least three positive solutions for differential equation φp u′ t ′ g t f t, u t , u′ t 0, under one of the following boundary conditions: u 0 ∑m−2 i 1 aiu ξi , φp u ′ 1 ∑m−2 i 1 biφp u ′ ξi or φp u′ 0 ∑m−2 i 1 aiφp u ′ ξi , u 1 ∑m−2 i 1 biu ξi is obtained by using the H. Amann fixed point theorem, where φp s |s|p−2s, p > 1, 0 < ξ1 < ξ2 < · · · < ξm−2 < 1, ai > 0, bi > 0, 0 <...
