objective: to assess the relationship between maternal uti during pregnancy and neonatal uti. materials and methods: this cross-sectional study included eighty neonates referred to ali-e-asghar hospital, tehran, iran, in 2011. the participants were divided into the study (with diagnosis of uti; n = 40) and the control (without this type of infection; n = 40) groups. the mothers were asked about...

Research Findings: Multiple factors likely influence the language development of young children growing up in low-income homes, potentially including stressors experienced by parents. Here, we ask: (1) What is association between stress (i.e., economic hardship and parenting stress) toddlers’ development? (2) Does number hours spent nonparental childcare moderate relation Participants were 100 ...

On January 19, 1996 we published in the Internet a demo of how to use Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) for the organization of large collections of full-text les. Later we added other newsgroups to the demo. It can be found at the address http://websom.hut../websom/. In the present paper we describe the main features of this system, called the WEBSOM, as well as some newer developments of it.

It is important to transmit pictures efficiently in most Web sites, especially for those users with low bandwidth connections. In this demonstration, we propose a system which progressively transmits images using a very low transmission rate (as low as 15% in some cases). The transmitted images maintain a reasonable picture quality for the users to browse images quickly. Interested readers can ...

In this paper we are investigating the long time behaviour of the solution of a mutation competition model of Lotka-Volterra’s type. Our main motivation comes from the analysis of the Lotka-Volterra’s competition system with mutation which simulates the demo-genetic dynamics of diverse virus in their host : dvi(t) dt = vi [

We present noWorkflow, an open-source tool that systematically and transparently collects provenance from Python scripts, including data about the script execution and how the script evolves over time. During the demo, we will show how noWorkflow collects and manages provenance, as well as how it supports the analysis of computational experiments. We will also encourage attendees to use noWorkf...

We present the SPIN system, a computational tool to detect linguistic and dialog structure patterns in a social interaction that reveal the underlying power relations between its participants. The SPIN system labels sentences in an interaction with their dialog acts (i.e., communicative intents), detects instances of overt display of power, and predicts social power relations between its partic...

Recently, underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) attracted the interest of many researchers and the past three decades have held the rapid progress of underwater acoustic communication. One of the major problems in UWSNs is how to transfer data from the mobile node to the base stations and choosing the optimized route for data transmission. Secure routing in UWSNs is necessary for packet d...
