Raw and heat-processed (boiled and grilled) jalapeño peppers at three intermediate ripening stages (brown, 50% red, and 75% red) were digested in vitro without fat and in the presence of soybean oil (SO) or beef tallow (BT), and the micellarization of their lipid soluble pigments (LSP) was measured. The micelles from digestions with brown, 50% red, and 75% red peppers contained up to 27, 35, an...

This paper addresses the problem of enabling robots to interactively learn visual and spatial models from multi-modal interactions involving speech, gesture and images. Our approach, called Logical Semantics with Perception (LSP), provides a natural and intuitive interface by significantly reducing the amount of supervision that a human is required to provide. This paper demonstrates LSP in an ...

This paper presents a novel and efficient variable bit rate LPC quantization approach. The proposed MCVQ framework allows a Dynamic Programming based minimum quantization distortion partitioning and quantization process to be performed on input LSP vector tracks in time. Variable duration segments of LSP vector tracks are classified into one of a finite number of language related events. Specif...

By using finite element analysis, we proposed an applicable finite element method of laser shock peening (LSP) and discussed various parameters, such as solution time, stability limit, dynamic yield stress, peak pressure, pressure pulse duration, laser spot size, and multiple LSP. The effects of parameters related to the finite element simulation of the LSP process on the residual stresses of 3...

We propose two extensions of the Local Similarity Pattern/Weighted Local Similarity Pattern (LSP/WLSP) image similarity models, proposed by Stejić (2002). The objective is to improve the retrieval precision, by increasing the expressive power of the LSP/WLSP models. We formalize LSP and WLSP as special cases of a general similarity model, which defines image similarity as a weighted mean of the...

INTRODUCTION The Life Skills Profile (LSP) is an assessment instrument of general function in activities of daily life, especially developed for people diagnosed of a severe mental illness. There are different versions of the LSP. The aim of this paper is to validate and adapt the brief form of the LSP (LSP-20) to the Spanish population. METHODS Two different samples have been recruited for t...

1. Larval-specific protein, LSP, reaches a peak concentration in cockroach hemolymph 2448 hr prior to ecdysis. 2. When ecdysis is delayed by autotomy-induced leg regeneration, LSP continues to accumulate and reaches a higher than normal peak concentration 28 hr prior to the delayed ecdysis. 3. Ecdysone inhibits the regeneration-induced delay and returns the normal pattern of ecdysis and LSP acc...

OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the association between the presence of a septal pouch in the left atrium and ischemic stroke. BACKGROUND It has been suggested that the presence of a left septal pouch (LSP) may favor the stasis of blood and possibly result in thromboembolic complications. However, the embolic potential of an LSP is not known. METHODS The association between an LSP and risk o...

1 {gustavo.figueiredo, nfonseca}@ic.unicamp.br 2 [email protected] 3 [email protected] Abstract This paper presents a mechanism for the dynamic sizing of Label Switched Paths (LSPs) in MPLS networks based on the mean queue size at the ingress router of the LSP. Upon exceeding the established thresholds, the mechanism is triggered and the LSP is resized after a signaling delay. Results indicate t...
