The growth and color change produced on dermatophyte test medium (DTM) by 25 strains of zoopathogenic fungi associated with human skin lesions were evaluated quantitatively. DTM only partially suppressed the development of nondermatophytes, with total growth in most instances comparable with that observed with dermatophytes. Whereas all dermatophytes induced a rapid color change on DTM, several...

Many different mechanisms have been developed to implement Distributed Transactional Memory (DTM). Unfortunately, there is no “one-size-fits-all” design that offers the desirable performance across all possible workloads and scales. In fact, the performance of these mechanisms is affected by a number of intertwined factors that make it hard, or even impossible, to statically configure a DTM pla...

This work presents the first results of an experiment aiming to derive a high resolution Digital Terrain Model (DTM) by kinematic GPS surveying. The accuracy of the DTM depends on both the operational GPS precision and the density of GPS samples. The operational GPS precision, measured in the field, is about 10 cm. A Monte Carlo analysis is performed to study the dependence of the DTM error on ...

The thesis is logically divided in two parts; one part discusses host interfacing to high-speed networks and the other focuses on connection establishment and resource reservation in DTM gigabit networks. An important problem posed by high-speed networks available today is the inability to provide the high bandwidth of the transmission media to an application. This thesis discusses how to avoid...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether chronic low back pain therapy with deep tissue massage (DTM) gives similar results to combined therapy consisting of DTM and non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). DESIGN Prospective controlled randomized single blinded trial. SETTINGS Ambulatory care of rehabilitation. PARTICIPANTS 59 patients, age 51.8 ± 9.0 years, with chronic low back pain. Inter...

We consider the operator A0f = (−1)n 1 v(t) ( Dρ )∗ [ u(t)Dρ ( f (t) v(t) )] , where Dρ f (t) = dk dtk [ ρ(t) dmf (t) dtm ] , ( Dρ )∗ f (t) = dm dtm [ ρ(t) dkf (t) dtk ] , k + m = n. Our main aim is to prove some spectral properties of a natural extension of this operator. In order to prove this we need to prove some properties of a function space, connected to the operator Dρ , and some embedd...

This paper investigates differential topic models (dTM) for summarizing the differences among document groups. Starting from a simple probabilistic generative model, we propose dTM-SAGE that explicitly models the deviations on group-specific word distributions to indicate how words are used differentially across different document groups from a background word distribution. It is more effective...

In this paper the idea is to combine classifiers with different error types based on Fuzzy Majority Voting (FMV). Four study areas with different sensors and scene characteristics were used to assess the performance of the model. First, the lidar point clouds were filtered to generate a Digital Terrain Model (DTM), and then a Digital Surface Model (DSM) and the Normalized Digital Surface Model ...

This research is primarily focused on utilizing available airborne LiDAR data and spatial from the OpenStreetMap (OSM) database to generate 3D models of buildings for a large-scale urban area. The city center Ljubljana, Slovenia, was selected study area due availability diversity building shapes, heights, functions, which presented challenge automated generation models. To extract range sources...
