In this paper we describe our retrieval system and experiments performed for the automatic search task in TRECVid 2007. We submitted the following six automatic runs: • F A 1 DCU-TextOnly6 : Baseline run using only ASR/MT text features. • F A 1 DCU-ImgBaseline4 : Baseline visual expert only run, no ASR/MT used. Made use of query-time generation of retrieval expert coefficients for fusion. • F A...

Step additions of small hydrophilic solutes to the perfusate of isolated dog lungs produce weight changes (Vargas-Johnson). The product: (observed reflection coefficient) times (observed filtration coefficient) for the lung endothelial barrier is obtained from the initial weight slope per unit osmolality change. The observed filtration coefficient determined from the sustained constant weight s...

OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between anthropometric indices and the age of menarche in female students of Sabzevar, Iran. METHODS The cross-sectional study was conducted in Sabzevar, Iran, from April to September 2010, and involved girls of 11-18 years of age. The required sample size for analysing the relationship between menarche age and Body Mass Index was estimated to be 110 by...

BACKGROUND Obesity and weight gain are correlated with psychological ill health. We predicted that childhood emotional problems and self-perceptions predict weight gain into adulthood. METHODS Data on around 6,500 individuals was taken from the 1970 Birth Cohort Study. This sample was a representative sample of individuals born in the UK in one week in 1970. Body mass index was measured by a ...

to conserve the genetic resources and identify the strong and weak points in sistan watermelon accessions and compare these with improved cultivars of: sugarbaby and fairfax, an experiment was carried out, based on rectangular lattic design of two replications in 2007. the morphological traits studied, included plant length, plant weight, seed weight, fruit number, fruit length, fruit width, su...

We prove two formulae expressing the Kerov polynomial Σk as a weighted sum over the set of noncrossing partitions of the set {1, . . . , k + 1}. We also give a combinatorial description of a family of symmetric functions specializing in the coefficients of Σk .

We introduce a multi-parameter generalization of the Lambda-determinant of Robbins and Rumsey, based on the cluster algebra with coefficients attached to a T -system recurrence. We express the result as a weighted sum over alternating sign matrices.

According to the Statistical Yearbook of China's sports undertakings and the related Statistical Yearbook, as well as related indicators Construction principles, the sustainable development evaluation index system of China's sports is constructed. This essay uses entropy coefficient method to research on the weight of every subsystem and indicator in the Sports sustainable development and find ...

BACKGROUND One of the main family practice interventions in the younger healthy population is advice on how to keep or develop a healthy lifestyle. In this study we explored the level of counselling regarding healthy lifestyle by family physicians and the factors associated with it. METHODS A cross-sectional study with a random sample of 36 family practices, stratified by size and location. E...
