The size structure of fish-communities is an emergent high-level property of marine food webs responsive to changes in structure and function. To measure this food web property using data arising from routine fisheries surveys, a simple metric known as Typical Length has been proposed as more suitable than the Large Fish Indicator, which has been highly engineered to be responsive to fishing pr...

In this work we propose to exploit context sensor data for analyzing user generated videos. Firstly, we perform a low-level indexing of the recorded media with the instantaneous compass orientations of the recording device. Subsequently, we exploit the low level indexing to obtain a higher level indexing for discovering camera panning movements, classifying them, and for identifying the Region ...

We give a brief summary of work on exploiting solution space structure. The approach is to exploit structures that we call “solution clusters.” We describe what we mean by solution clusters, why they are relevant to reducing search within negotiation, and how they can can be found. We give a high-level description of how they might be applied to a system-of-systems such as the SNAPMAPLANT inter...

This is a report of two patients, one having polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and another with giant cell arteritis (GCA). Both the patients had raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein and were consuming high w-6/w-3 fatty acid ratio diet. Both responded to prednisolone. Low w-3 ratio diet or fish oil should be considered for prevention of recurrence.

present communication deals with the study of four village fish culture ponds (two wild and two managed ponds) from district hisar of haryana, india was undertaken, to correlate the water quality and biological cycles in ponds with fish production. studies have revealed that the ponds are in good trophic status. chlorides, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, biochemical oxygen demand (bod), pho...

Fish consumption advisories are issued by the federal government for women of childbearing age (WCBA). These advisories make recommendations about the amount and types of fish that should be consumed to provide the greatest health benefits to women and their children while avoiding risks from chemical contaminants. We used diary methods to study fish consumption patterns of 1,395 WCBA in the Gr...
