In this work we explore the potential role of music album cover arts for the task of predicting the overall rating of music albums and we investigate if one can judge a music album by its cover alone. We present the results of our participation to the Linked Data Mining Challenge at the Know@LOD 2016 Workshop, which suggest that the the cover album alone might not be sufficient for the rating p...

Digitizing cultural information is a complex endeavor. Not only do users expect to have access to primary information like digital music files; it is also becoming more important for digital systems to provide contextual information for the primary artifacts contained within. The Liner Notes Markup Language (LNML) was developed to provide an XML vocabulary for encoding complex contextual docume...

This paper presents in-plane electrostatic comb-drive actuators with stroke as large as 245 μm that is achieved by employing a novel Clamped Paired Double Parallelogram (C-DPDP) flexure mechanism. For a given flexure beam length, comb gap, and actuation voltage, this is currently the largest comb-drive actuator stroke reported in the literature. The C-DP-DP flexure mechanism design offers high ...

in  this paper, we investigate the generalizedhyers-ulam-rassias stability for the quartic, cubic and additivefunctional equation$$f(x+ky)+f(x-ky)=k^2f(x+y)+k^2f(x-y)+(k^2-1)[k^2f(y)+k^2f(-y)-2f(x)]$$ ($k in mathbb{z}-{0,pm1}$) in $p-$banach spaces.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus KY-3 is a fermentative bacterium that is used for the industrial production of L-lactic acid. We have examined the effect of L. rhamnosus KY-3 and cellobiose as synbiotics on lipid metabolism in rats. Rats were fed on a 20% casein diet (C) supplemented with either 1.7% L. rhamnosus KY-3 (KY-3), 10% cellobiose (CEB), or 1.7% L. rhamnosus KY-3 and 10% cellobiose (KY-3+CEB)...
