In a population sample of 1462 middle-aged women socioeconomic data were studied in relation to obesity, assessed by a body weight index. Education, annual income, and social class were negatively correlated with weight index (WI). Husband's social class was a stronger determinant of obesity in the woman than her own class. Age of husband and number of children were significantly correlated wit...

can be interpreted as matching of an input graph (keyword) with a large set of graphs (document). More formally, in order to spot a certain keyword wi, all p graph instances gi1, ... , gip of that word wi occurring in the training set are matched against all graph words in each text line using our adapted graph matching procedure. That is, for a given word wi and a specific text line s pairwise...

This paper describes the improved Wi-Fi AP position estimation method for building more accurate Wi-Fi AP position DB in complex indoor signal propagation environment. One of our pro Fi AP by using indoor survey for higher Wi-Fi AP position accuracy. Our contribution focuses on the Wi-Fi AP position estimation method. In previous works, there were several methods for Wi-Fi AP position estimatio...

A large body of experimental data has demonstrated the central role of T cells in acquired resistance to the dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. We examined the human T-cell response to WI-1, a 120-kDa B. dermatitidis yeast cell surface protein recently shown to be an immunodominant antigen of the B-cell response in infected humans. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 10 blastomycosis pati...

Pitch control is one of t he  major aspects of wind turbine control, particularly over high wi nd s p e e d  a n d  oscillations. General El e c t r i c  (GE) model of  wi n d  t ur bi ne  i s practically compatible with the structure of the wind turbines. I t  h a s  b e e n  p r o v e d t h a t  simulation results using this model are closer to the actual case, compared to other available mod...

background: drug resistance is widely believed to be an increasingly serious threat to global public health. we have previously reported that short term exposure of microorganisms to diagnostic ultrasound waves could significantly alter their sensitivity to antibiotics. in our previous studies, klebsiella pneumoniae showed major differences in the sensitivity to antibiotics in exposed and non-e...
