We argue that there is a need for culture-specific measures of identity that delineate the factors that most make sense for specific cultural groups. One such measure, recently developed specifically for Māori peoples, is the Multi-Dimensional Model of Māori Identity and Cultural Engagement (MMM-ICE). Māori are the indigenous peoples of New Zealand. The MMM-ICE is a 6-factor measure that assess...

OBJECTIVE To define associated clinical conditions, pathology, natural history, and treatment outcome of nonhepatosplenic extramedullary hematopoiesis (NHS-EMH). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of all patients identified as having NHS-EMH from 1975 to 2002. Diagnosis was made by tissue biopsy, fine-needle aspiration biopsy, or radionuclide bone marrow scann...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Flow cytometry enumeration of peripheral blood CD34-positive cells provides reliable measurements of circulating hematopoietic progenitors in humans. Since the absolute number of circulating CD34-positive cells has been previously found to be elevated in myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM), we prospectively studied the clinical utility of this parameter in the ...

Surveillance Event Detection Semantic event detection in the huge amount of surveillance video in both retrospective and real-time styles is essential to a variety of higher-level applications in the public security. In TRECVID 2010, to overcome the limitations of the traditional human action analysis method with human detection/tracking and domain knowledge, we evaluate the general framework f...

Introduction: Current advances in chip fabrication allow high on-chip memory density. However, the pin count has mainly remained the same, thus limiting the number of ports a switch chip can support. A three-stage Clos-network switch [1] uses small switch modules, called input module (IM), central module (CM), and output module (OM), to implement a large switch (i.e. with a large number of port...
