-This paper presents a method of indexing pictures by pattern recognition based on key image objects for large scale image databases. The idea is to generate an image "signature" for each database picture with respect to "key" objects. Such signatures are subsequently used to make picture retrieval more efficient by fast bitwise matching to reduce the search space before requiring compute-inten...

pictorial landmarks contained less familiar abstract textures from the paintings of the eminent abstract painters. Procedure: The experimental procedure was the same as in the first experiment. Data analysis: Four subjects with reaction time beyond 3 standard deviations (in any of the experimental situations) were excluded from the analyses. All participants completed control task. The data wer...

The MYMOP is a well accepted quality of life instrument that is particularly suitable for assessing the effect of complementary therapies; however, some groups of patients find it difficult to use. A pictorial version was developed using faces instead of the numerical rating scale--it is called MYMOP pictorial. This version appears to be more acceptable to patients but has not been formally val...

Review-Scrum is basically reversion of Scrum; basic features in R-Scrum are to sort out those issues which are challenges in scrum. Issues of risk handling factor, lack of pictorial model, number of hectic meetings and continuous pressurize working environment. In R-Scrum using the MDA which gives the pictorial model of the product.

People eat more from large than from small packs, which is known as the pack size effect. We hypothesized that providing a serving size recommendation would reduce the influence of the pack size on consumption and would thus diminish the pack size effect. Moreover, we hypothesized that a pictorial serving size recommendation, displaying food amounts visually, would be more effective than a non-...

The present study performed a quantitative meta-analysis of functional MRI studies that used a subsequent memory approach. The meta-analysis considered both subsequent memory (SM; remembered>forgotten) and subsequent forgetting (SF; forgotten>remembered) effects, restricting the data used to that concerning visual information encoding in healthy young adults. The meta-analysis of SM effects ind...

A new paramicrolaimid nematode, Paramicrolaimus damodarani sp. nov., is described based on specimens from the continental shelf (95 m) of the south eastern Arabian Sea. Paramicrolaimus damodarani sp. nov. differs from other known species of the genus in having a smaller body size, form of the spicular apparatus, presence of 7 cuticularised protruding precloacal supplements and a strongly cuticu...

The fauna of the family Stigmaeidae Oudemans on grapevines and weed plants associated with vineyard agroecosystem in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) was studied. Five recognized species were reported: Agistemus brasiliensis Matioli et al., 2002, Agistemus floridanus Gonzales, 1965, Agistemus mendozensis Simons, 1967, Zetzellia agistzellia Hernandes and Feres, 2005, and Zetzellia malvina...

Multi-representational learning environments are now commonplace in schools and homes. Research that has evaluated the effectiveness of such environments shows that learners can benefit from multiple representations once they have mastered a number of complex tasks. One of the key tasks for learning with multiple representations is successful translation between representations. In order to exp...

The neotropical genus Benthana (Philosciidae) is reviewed. Fourteen species are redescribed: Benthana picta, B. olfersii, B. longicornis, B. schubarti, B. albomarginata, B. werneri, B. santosi, B. longipenis, B. bocainensis, B. moreirai, B. dimorpha, B. iporangensis, B. sulcata, and B. longicaudata. Additional characters were proposed for B. convexa, B. taeniata, B. serrana, B. trinodulata, B. ...
