Result rankings from context-aware information retrieval are inherently dynamic, as the same query can lead to significantly different outcomes in different contexts. For example, the search term Digital Camera will lead to different – albeit potentially overlapping – results in the contexts Customer Reviews and Shops, respectively. The comparison of such result rankings can provide useful insi...

The Drosophila insulin receptor (DIR) contains a 368-amino-acid COOH-terminal extension that contains several tyrosine phosphorylation sites in YXXM motifs. This extension is absent from the human insulin receptor but resembles a region in insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins which binds to the phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase and mediates mitogenesis. The function of a chimeric DIR cont...

Das Glück, kein Reiter wird's erjagen, es ist nicht dort und ist nicht hier. Lern überwinden, lern entsagen, und ungeahnt erblüht es dir.

PURPOSE Focal therapy has been proposed as an alternative method to whole-gland treatment for prostate cancer when aiming to reduce treatment side effects. The authors recently validated a radiobiological model which takes into account tumor location and tumor characteristics including tumor cell density, Gleason score, and hypoxia in order to plan optimal dose distributions for focal therapy. ...

PURPOSE Deformable image registration (DIR) is necessary for accurate dose accumulation between multiple radiotherapy image sets. DIR algorithms can suffer from inverse and transitivity inconsistencies. When using deformation vector fields (DVFs) that exhibit inverse-inconsistency and are nontransitive, dose accumulation on a given image set via different image pathways will lead to different a...

introduction: the dominant approach in the etiology and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (asd) is a behavioral approach. proponents of the behavioral model believe that children with autism in access to capabilities in achieving love, empathy, language and creative thinking, have significant fundamental defects.  instead model-based development of individual differences relationship offers...

Objective Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is an important cause of myocardial damage by means of oxidative, inflammatory, and apoptotic mechanisms. The aim of the present study was to examine the potential cardio protective effects of levosimendan in a diabetic rat model of myocardial I/R injury. Methods A total of 18 streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar Albino rats (55 mg/kg) were randomly...

Based on amplify-and-forward network coding (AFNC) protocol, the outage probability and ergodic capacity of two-way network coding opportunistic relaying (TWOR-AFNC) systems are investigated as well as the corresponding closed-form solutions. For the TWOR-AFNC systems, it is investigated under two scenarios, namely, the TWOR-AFNC systems without direct link (TWOR-AFNC-Nodir) and the TWOR-AFNC s...

In the Low Countries, interest in information retrieval, the discipline that is mainly concerned with identifying information in document or multimedia collections, has been modest but steady throughout the years. In 2000, this led to the first Dutch-Belgian Information Retrieval Workshop (DIR) at the University of Maastricht (the Netherlands). Two years later, the third edition of DIR shows th...

Hamburg (humannews) In der US-Serie „Lie to me“ erkennt Tim Roth, alias Dr. Carl Lightman, mit Hilfe der Wahrnehmungsforschung sofort ob jemand lügt. In der realen Welt geht Managementberaterin Cilly Holle noch einen Schritt weiter: Als Psycho-Physiognomik-Expertin erkennt sie auf den ersten Blick die Stärken und Schwächen ihres Gegenübers, sieht, welche Paare zusammenpassen, wem man wie am bes...
