The goal of this paper is the automatic identification of characters in TV and feature film material. In contrast to standard approaches to this task, which rely on the weak supervision afforded by transcripts and subtitles, we propose a new method requiring only a cast list. This list is used to obtain images of actors from freely available sources on the web, providing a form of partial super...

Résumé Introduction: La carcinose péritonéale est une diffusion inéluctablement terminale chez les patients atteints de cancers abdominaux. C'est le signe d'une maladie avancée ou d'une ré-évolution le plus souvent associée à un pronostic sombre. Environ deux tiers de l'ensemble des carcinoses péritonéales sont d'origine digestive et un tiers d'origine non digestive. Méthodes: Il s'agit d'une é...

We put forward architecture of a framework for integration of data from moving objects related to urban transportation network. Most of this research refers to the GPS outdoor geolocation technology and uses distributed cloud infrastructure with big data NoSQL database. A network of intelligent mobile sensors, distributed on urban network, produces congestion traffic patterns. Congestion predic...

Currently, a TCP sender considers all losses as congestion signals and reacts to them by throttling the sending rate. With Internet becoming more heterogeneous with wireless error-prone links, a TCP connection may unduly throttle its sending rate and experience a poor performance over non congested paths. A closed form expression is developed for the expected improvement of TCP throughput if TC...

INTRODUCTION Recently, an important literature data has reported that medical students experience stress more than students in other disciplines. In contrast, there is a significant shortage of the stress impact on the academic performance. The primary purpose of our study was to determine the prevalence of stress among Casablanca Medical students and to investigate if there is an association b...

Position of the problem: the physical activity (PA) and sedentary lifestyle are considered among the main factors of health in relation to the lifestyle. Both are associated, independently, with mortality and morbidity. Hence, the aim of this study is to describe physical activity and sedentary lifestyle for medical students in Casablanca. Method: In 2012/2013, we have conducted a cross-section...
