Louis Lewin, better known for his popular works on poisons, wrote the first book on Side Effects of Drugs ("Nebenwirkungen der Arzneimitiel") in 1881. In the introduction to the 3rd edition (1899) he postulated: "As valuable as reports on side or after-effects of drugs per se may be, as much the practitioner may benefit from instructions as to how to avoid and treat such effects for his patient...

Multi-lingual multi-script often poses various challenges in handwritten numeral classification. In this paper, we present a method for classification of off-line handwritten numerals of three popular Indian scripts. Here we consider Kannada, Telugu and Tamil scripts for our experiment. The features used in the classifier are obtained from local intensity order patter descriptor. For feature co...

in order to identify parasitoids of poplar aphid, sampling was done at urban areas of tehran in 2011. aphid galls were put in clear plastic containers and were evaluated until emergence of parasitoids on daily basis. among the samples, a new species namely protaphelinus nikolskajae (yasnosh, 1963) (chalcidoidea: aphelinidae) was identified. this species is a parasitoid of the popular aphid, pem...

We consider the popular matching problem in a roommates instance G = (V,E) with strict preference lists. While popular matchings always exist in a bipartite instance, they need not exist in a roommates instance. The complexity of the popular matching problem in a roommates instance has been an open problem for several years and here we show it is NP-hard. A sub-class of max-size popular matchin...

We study dynamic matching problems in graphs among agents with preferences. Agents and/or edges of the graph arrive and depart iteratively over time. The goal is to maintain matchings that are favorable to the agent population and stable over time. More formally, we strive to keep a small unpopularity factor by making only a small amortized number of changes to the matching per round. Our main ...
