In this paper, we describe the LIA system proposed for the MediaEval 2013 Crowdsourcing for Social Multimedia task. The aim is to associate an accurate label to an image among multiple noisy labels collected from a crowdsourcing platform. In particular, the task participants have to predict two types of binary labels for each considered image. The first one mentions that an image is truly fashi...

This paper describes our participation in the Entity List Completion (ELC) task at Entity track 2011. Our approach combined the work done for the Related Entity Finding 2010 task with some new criteria as the proximity or the similarity between a candidate answer with the correct answers given as examples or their cooccurrences.

Compliance with the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) has been hampered by the lack of implementation details. This article argues that IT departments that have implemented ten categories of IT controls provided by the International Standards Organization (ISO 17799) will be well on their way toward SOX compliance. A side-by-side comparison of the 124 control components of the ISO Standard and t...

BACKGROUND Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) plays an important role in plant virus infection as well as the regulation of gene translation. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here, we describe the isolation of a cDNA encoding CmeIF(iso)4E (GenBank accession no. JQ904592), an isoform of eIF4E from chrysanthemum, using RACE PCR. We used the CmeIF(iso)4E cDNA for expression profil...

To predict the performance of a probabilistic spccch rccognizer it is often desirable to estimate the contribution of thc language model and that of the acoustic model. We describc an approach to this problern which tries to take into account the intcraction between the two sources of information. Somc results are prcscnted concerning the 20000-word vocabulary, real-time IBM recognizcr of thc l...

β-Adrenergic receptor (β-AR) stimulation increases extracellular ubiquitin (UB) levels, and extracellular UB inhibits β-AR-stimulated apoptosis in adult cardiac myocytes. This study investigates the role of exogenous UB in chronic β-AR-stimulated myocardial remodeling. l-Isoproterenol (ISO; 400 μg·kg(-1)·h(-1)) was infused in mice in the presence or absence of UB (1 μg·g(-1)·h(-1)). Left ventri...

The aim of this paper is to describe existing ISO standards and current activity concerned with thermal comfort. It describes how an ISO standard is produced from a new work item proposal (NP) to publication as an international standard (ISO). A framework is provided for the assessment of ISO standards and their revisions. Standards should be valid, reliable, useable, and with sufficient scope ...

Objective(s) Several studies have reported improved response of exercised hearts to myocardial infarction (MI). This study was aimed to evaluate the preventive role of treadmill exercise and diosgenin on cardiac marker enzymes, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total antioxidant status (TAS), lipids, and electrocardiographic (ECG) patterns in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardia...
