Treating physicians' and independent medical examiners' (IMEs') opinions were compared to identify differences of opinion and to develop a basis for understanding the differences. Twenty-three patients of an occupational health center (OHC) who had been examined by an IME were studied. OHC and IME opinions regarding diagnosis, work-relatedness, treatment recommendations, and disability assessme...

This paper presents a novel concept of D.C motor protection using NI Lab VIEW. The researcher has designed highly powerful real time D.C motor protection software by using NI Lab VIEW, which is proficient of p rotecting D.C motor within fraction of seconds against different types of faults, giving the real t ime protection, hence giving a brilliant solution to virtual instrument based protectio...

This paper presents the challenges and the methodology followed in the design of a new Input Method (IME) for the Taiwanese (Hokkien) language. We first describe the context, the motivations and some of the main issues related to the input of text in Taiwanese on modern computer systems and mobile devices. Then we present the available resources which our system is based on. We will describe th...

We prove the following about the Nearest Lattice Vector Problem (an any e, norm), the Nearest Codeword Problem for binary codes, the problem of learning a halfspace in the presence of errors, and some other problems. 1. Approximating the optimum within any constant factor is NP-hard. 2. If for some 6 > 0 there exists a polynomial t ime algorithm that approximates the optimum within a factor of ...

A funct ional relationship between the pseudob ranch and the eye in teleosts is implied from early studies in which it had been shown that bilateral removal of the pseudobranch will render fish blind (6), and that removal of the eyes or keeping fish in darkness for long periods of t ime will result in a reduction in the size of the pseudobranch (5). These observat ions led us to make a pilot st...

Chinese input methods are used to convert pinyin sequence or other Latin encoding systems into Chinese character sentences. For more effective pinyin-to-character conversion, typical Input Method Engines (IMEs) rely on a predefined vocabulary that demands manually maintenance on schedule. For the purpose of removing the inconvenient vocabulary setting, this work focuses on automatic wordhood ac...

Integer-pixel motion estimation (IME) runtime in the H.264 encoder takes up over 50% of the total runtime. In which, many IME algorithms have been developed up to now. On the other hand, fractional-pixel motion estimation (FME) part also occupies about 40% of the total motion estimation runtime. After performing the FME process, 1-3 (dB) PSNR improvement can be achieved. The FME part, therefore...
