cally, water is assumed to be immobile at the residualwater saturation. In the petroleum industry, the residAt many contaminated sites, nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) ual-water saturation is also called the irreducible-water persist in the vadose zone for long periods of time. This occurs because the permeability of the NAPL becomes negligible at some saturation saturation. This terminology h...

The distribution of the basement membrane glycoprotein laminin was studied by the immunoperoxidase technique in benign and malignant human breast tissue and in axillary lymph nodes from patients with breast cancer. An antiserum prepared against rat laminin was used. The specificity of this antiserum against human laminin was studied using the FL cell line of human epithelial-like cells derived ...

A method is introduced that detects human faces in color images by rst separating skin regions from non skin regions and then locating faces within skin regions A chroma chart is prepared via a training process that shows likelihoods of di erent colors representing the skin Using the chroma chart a color image is trans formed into a gray scale image with the gray value at a pixel showing the li...

We describe an experimental study of pruning methods for decision tree classifiers in two learning situations: minimizing loss and probability estimation. In addition to the two most common methods for error minimization, CART'S cost-complexity pruning and C4.5'~ errorbased pruning, we study the extension of cost-complexity pruning to loss and two pruning variants based on Laplace corrections. ...

The TriQL.P browser is a general purpose RDF browser that supports users in exploring RDF datasets containing information from multiple information sources. Information can be filtered using a wide range of user-definable trust policies. Policies can be based on information context, information content, information or information source ratings, and on the presence or absence of digital signatu...

This paper deals with a problem of assigning n persons to n nodes (jobs) in a given network, whose arc lengths are dependent upon the assignment, so that the length of a critical path in the network may be minimized. The problem is first formulated as an integer programming probem, and then a branch-and-bound algorithm is proposed. The algorithm makes use of lower bounds obtained from the gener...
