This paper presents a new method of document image retrieval that is capable of spotting parts of document images relevant to users’ queries. This enables us to improve effectiveness and usability of retrieval, since users are relieved from burdens of finding relevant parts in retrieved documents. The proposed method is based on the assumption that parts of document images which densely contain...

Background. In India there have been limited number of studies on periodontal status among drug addicts, and thus this study aims to assess the Oral hygiene and periodontal status in substance abusers and compare it with non-substance abusers. Methods. A comparative study was conducted to assess the periodontal status in substance abusers. Non-substance abusers were procured from the general po...

We describe the continuous time random walk (CTRW) MATLAB toolbox, a collection of MATLAB scripts and functions that compute breakthrough curves (BTCs) and one-dimensional/two-dimensional (1D/2D) resident concentration profiles for passive tracer dispersion. The transport model is based on the CTRW theory. CTRW includes as special cases the classical Fickian dispersion based advection-dispersio...

We analyze the properties of entangled random pure states of a quantum system partitioned into two smaller subsystems of dimensions N and M. Framing the problem in terms of random matrices with a fixed-trace constraint, we establish, for arbitrary N≤M, a general relation between the n-point densities and the cross moments of the eigenvalues of the reduced density matrix, i.e., the so-called Sch...

Abstract Background Grey platelet syndrome (GPS) is a rare cause of mild-to-severe bleeding. Up till now, there has been no definite treatment for GPS. Case presentation We reported case diagnosed as GPS and presented with menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, gingival bleeding, left hypochondrial pain. The count was 18 thousand/cmm. Ultrasound splenic diameter 22.0 cm. multidisciplinary team decided to p...

The question of whether Dutch listeners rely on the rhythmic characteristics of their native language to segment speech was investigated in three experiments. In Experiment 1, listeners were induced to make missegmentations of continuous speech. The results showed that word boundaries were inserted before strong syllables and deleted before weak syllables. In Experiment 2, listeners were requir...

The present investigation addresses the possible utility of sequential probabilities in the segmentation of spoken language. In a series of five word- spotting and two control lexical decision experiments, high- versus low-probability consonant-vowel (Experiments 1, 2, 5, and 7) and vowel-consonant (Experiments 1, 3, 4, and 6) strings were presented either in the nonsense contexts of target wor...
