We present an interactive content-based video browser allowing fast, non linear and hierarchical navigation of video over the Internet through multiple levels of key-frames that provide a visual summary of video content. Our method is based on an XML framework, dynamically generated parameterized XSL style sheets, and SMIL. The architecture is designed to incorporate additional recognized featu...

* Institut national d’études démographiques (1) Each year, this independent organization provides summary data sheets using figures issued by different sources – mainly the United Nations Population Division [2], the United States Census Bureau, the Council of Europe and INED [3] – based on all demographic data published by national statistics agencies and international organizations. Every oth...

Abstract Background Computerized clinical decision support (CDSS) –digital information systems designed to improve making by providers – is a promising tool for improving quality of care. This study aims understand the uptake ASMAN application (defined as completeness electronic case sheets), role CDSS in adherence key practices and delivery outcomes. Methods We have conducted secondary analysi...

two potassium oxalate doped tio2 samples, designated as k1-tio2 and k2-tio2, were synthesized by the base-catalyzed sol-gel process. these samples were impregnated into rubber sheets. two commercial tio2 samples, anatase and degussa p25, were used as reference materials with which the synthesized samples were to be compared. anatase and p25 were also impregnated into rubber sheets and designate...

in this paper, the effect of cyclic loading on punching strength of flat slabs strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (cfrp) sheets is studied. experimental results of ten slab specimens under monotonic and cyclic loading are analyzed. eight specimens were strengthened with cfrp sheets on the tensile face of the slabs and the two other specimens were kept un-strengthened as control s...
