OBJECTIVE The transfer of experiences gained after prehospital medical responses to major incidents has largely been nonsystematic, and better-structured reporting methods have been advocated. A consensus-based template was recently created and implemented as an open-access website. This qualitative study assessed the feasibility of using the template and reporting site. METHODS Informants wh...

In a first investigation, a Lacan-motivated template of the Poe story is fitted to the data. A segmentation of the storyline is used in order to map out the diachrony. Based on this, it will be shown how synchronous aspects, potentially related to Lacanian registers, can be sought. This demonstrates the effectiveness of an approach based on a model template of the storyline narrative. In a seco...

This paper presents an automatic method, based on the deformable template approach, for cell image segmentation under severe noise conditions. We de"ne a new methodology, dividing the process into three parts: (1) obtain evidence from the image about the location of the cells; (2) use this evidence to calculate an elliptical approximation of these locations; (3) re"ne cell boundaries using loca...

The FIPA DPDF working group aims to propose a definition of method fragment to be used during a situational method engineering process, the fundamental elements it is composed of and the metamodel it is based on. Using the FIPA DPDF template, this paper presents the fragments issued from the methodology aspecs. The process of this methodology, the underlying metamodel and the workproducts relat...

Isolation of DNA for PCR is time-consuming and involves many reagents. The aim of this work was to optimise a rapid and easy PCR methodology without previous DNA isolation. Different strains of the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum were used. Protoplasts were generated using lytic enzymes under high incubation temperatures using different methodologies to obtain the template....

In this paper we focus on event extraction from Tamil news article. This system utilizes a scoring scheme for extracting and grouping event-specific sentences. Using this scoring scheme eventspecific clustering is performed for multiple documents. Events are extracted from each document using a scoring scheme based on feature score and condition score. Similarly event specific sentences are clu...

segmentation. Second, for face recogmtion,' we have enhanced the recognition performance by enabling the This research features an automatic face detection and system to not only work under normal lighting condition recognition system. The purpose of the system is for but also operate in a particularly tuned way when there are access control to a building or an office. The main feature severe i...

Across many domains, experts make decisions based on the spatial relationships of objects within an environment. Firefighters, for example, need to evaluate the fire in front of them, radiologists the medical scan, and chess players the position on the chess board before making a decision. In order to be effective, experts need to assess these spatial relationships quickly and despite possible ...
