Our research group at NCARAI has special interest in such related issues as the mental modeling of spatial information, multimodal human-computer inte...

Complex deformable webs like lace fabrics are amongst the most complicated materials to be inspected without any human intervention. The ability of such webs to deform easily, along with their complex patterns, presents a challenging problem for any machine vision system. Their pattern complexity makes it very difficult to use any global image processing or rulebased techniques for inspection, ...

The current article presents the process of situated modeling in the drawing workshop for bobbin lace developed and implemented in the Núcleo de Produção Artesanal Rendeiras da Vila, in Ponta Negra, Natal-Brasil. The workshop aimed to rescue the domain over the product in the production of bobbin lace through capacitation of both experienced and novice craftswomen. The modeling of the drawing w...

Push back design as a complex task, is one of the major steps in the open pit mines planning. Push backs can be generated by varying economic factors such as commodity price, mining cost, processing cost, etc. Another important issue in generating push backs is grade uncertainty, which can cause the problem be more complex. Conventional methods of push back design ignore grade uncertainty. To o...

were " enduring one form or another of water scarcity ". In spite of water manufacturing capacity doubling between now and 2016, up to half the world's population will still be suffering shortage by the middle of the century, according to the GWI. The cost of desalination is falling as a result of technological development, increasing the demand, and the cost of reusing water from sewage can be...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Although various drugs can be used in adults for Helicobacter pylori eradication in adults, treatment options are limited in children. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the standard lansoprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin (LAC) protocol to those of LAC+vitamin E (LACE) combination for H. pylori eradication. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 90 ch...
