Image quality in mammography encompasses several interlinking domains. Certain determinants of overall image quality are physical and unchangeable, such as the detector’s pixel size. Features of the image such as exposure, contrast and noise can be considered as being determined by an interaction between the system’s technical specifications and the operator, with the operator perhaps exerting ...

The mediational role of worry and practice time in explaining the relationship between implicit theories of ability and performance was examined in two studies. It was hypothesized that holding an implicit theory of ability as fixed and unchangeable would impair test performance. Worry and time invested in practicing prior to taking a test were predicted to mediate the direct effect of implicit...

Traditional object-oriented programming languages do not support the dynamic type change of an object so as to model the behavior of real world entities which change their status over time. This is a severe limitation in the context of a database programming language. Moreover, traditional object-oriented languages do not model the fact that the behavior of real world entities may depend on the...

Remote sensing images contain a lot of mixed image pixels, but it is difficult to classify these pixels. If the number of pixel’s end-member is regarded as unchangeable, the traditional pixel unmixing algorithm cannot get a good result. In this paper we develop a new method of selective end-members for pixel unmixing based on the fuzzy ARTMAP neural network, which firstly compares the pixel’s s...

Online reviews have become essential aspect in E-commerce platforms due to its role for assisting customers’ buying choices. Furthermore, the most helpful reviews that have some attributes are support customers buying decision; therefore, there is needs for investigating what are the attributes that increase the Review Helpfulness (RH). This research paper proposed novel model called inclusive ...

the culture media optimization is an inevitable part of upstream process development in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mabs) production. the quality by design (qbd) approach defines the assured quality of the final product through the development stage. an important step in qbd is determination of the main quality attributes. during the media optimization, some of the main quality attribute...

allamah tabatabai interprets the doctrine of attributive monotheism of god under the philosophical theory of the identity of god’s perfection attributes with his essence. because, in his view point, it is the only rational way for explanation of attributive monotheism. according to this theory, all divine perfection attributes are identical with each other and with god’s nature in external worl...

beekeeping as a technology package disseminated to target farmers in nigeria seems to suffer setbacks ranging from negative perception of farmers about the technology to technical contents of the package. this study therefore analyzes the technology attributes that influence non adoption of apiary technology packages in cross river state, nigeria. purposive and multistage random sampling techni...
