The macro-pore sizes of porous scaffold play a key role for regulating ectopic osteogenesis and angiogenesis but many researches ignored the influence of interconnection between macro-pores with different sizes. In order to accurately reveal the relationship between ectopic osteogenesis and macro-pore sizes in dorsal muscle and abdominal cavities of dogs, hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds with thre...

XML is originally designed for the use in document processing. Every classical document processing system supports a mechanism which is called macro. In general, a macro is a named collection of actions. These actions are executed whenever the name of the macro appears in a document instance. We describe a very small but powerful macro language for XML. The presented language supports macros wi...

Previous studies have paid little attention to spectators’ consumption behaviors and motives for watching different types of esports live-streaming game genres. This study, therefore, investigates spectator based on the interaction effects Convenience sampling was conducted collect 312 responses from Taiwanese individuals via Professional Technology Temple. The measurement tools include motivat...

abstract soil invertebrate and their spatial pattern are affected strongly by environmental factors. spatial variability of soil properties is one of the most important reasons of the macrofauna variability. this study was conducted to investigate the spatial variability of soil properties and soil macrofauna biomass in the riparian forest landscape of karkhe river. soil macro fauna were sample...

Among the conditions in which creatine kinase (CK)-MB activity is elevated in the absence of myocardial injury or infarction, macroenzyme (macro) CK merits special attention from clinicians. We present 2 cases, 1 with macro CK type 1 and the other with macro CK type 2, to stress the common clinical situations and diagnostic dilemma that clinicians encounter when evaluating patients with macro C...

We define the class of micro-macro stack graphs, a new class of graphs modeling infinite-state sequential systems with a decidable model-checking problem. Micro-macro stack graphs are the configuration graphs of stack automata whose states are partitioned into micro and macro states. Nodes of the graph are configurations of the stack automaton where the state is a macro state. Edges of the grap...

This paper presents Wizard, a generalised framework for learning macro-actions in planning. Wizard suggests macroactions that can be provided as additional actions for future planning. It enhances a domain for a planner through comprehensive macro suggestions. Wizard learns macro-actions for arbitrary planners or domains without exploiting their structural properties. It not only captures macro...

idiarrhea is known as the current and economic disease among new born calves. it is characterized by dehydration, loss of macro-minerals, weakness, recumbency and death. in calves diarrhea with different etiology, loss of liquid and electrolytes are the principle signs and the cause of death too. therefore, determination of the amounts of liquid and mainly electrolytes depletion is important in...

This paper summarizes the collaboration of the LIA and CLIPS laboratories on speaker diarization of broadcast news during the spring NIST Rich Transcription 2003 evaluation campaign (NIST-RT 03S). The speaker diarization task consists of segmenting a conversation into homogeneous segments which are then grouped into speaker classes. Two approaches are described and compared for speaker diarizat...

In the context of precision viticulture, remote sensing in the optical domain offers a potential way to map crop structure characteristics, such as vegetation cover fraction, row orientation or leaf area index, that are later used in decision support tools. A method based on the RGB color model imagery acquired with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is proposed to describe the vineyard 3D macro-...
