The chemical element krypton, whose principal source is the atmosphere, had a long-lived radioactive content, in the mid-1940s, of less than 5 dpm per liter of krypton. In the late 1940s, this content had risen to values in the range of 100 dpm per liter. It is now some hundred times higher than the late 1940 values. This radioactivity is the result of the dissolving of nuclear fuel for militar...

Dynamic Programming Matching (DPM) is a mathematical optimization technique for sequentially structured problems, which has, over the years, played a major role in providing primary algorithms in pattern recognition fields. Most practical applications of this method in signature verification have been based on the practical implementational version proposed by Sakoe and Chiba [1], and is usuall...

Dynamic power management (DPM) is a power reduction technique based on dynamically reconfiguring the systems to provide the requested services with a minimum load on the components of the system. DPM includes a set of techniques that achieves energy-efficient computation by selectively turning off (or reducing the performance of) system components when they are idle (or partially unexploited). ...

Yes, Lawrence DiDomenico, DPM, says technological advances with internal fixation may reduce the need for external fixation. He notes that ex-fix may not be as cost-effective as AO techniques in facilitating early weightbearing, and also cites the anesthesia risks associated with external fixation. No, George Vito, DPM, says that fixators can provide sufficient osseous stability to facilitate b...

In this paper we compare systematically the two-component Dual Parton Model (DPM) event generator Dpm-jet-III to d-Au and p–p data from RHIC. In this process we are able to improve the model. The need for fusion of chains and a recalibration of the model to obtain collision scaling in h-A and d-A collisions was found already in previous comparisons. Here, comparing to transverse momentum distri...

Os problemas de saúde mental são causadores morbidades em todo mundo. Dados da OMS estimam que existam cerca um bilhão pessoas atingidas por essa condição. distúrbios psíquicos menores (DPM) caracterizados sintomas como a ansiedade, fadiga, preocupação somática, depressão, insônia, irritabilidade e déficit memória concentração. Esses impactam negativamente no sono. O presente estudo caracteriza...

In this paper we propose the use of infinite models for the clustering of speakers. Speaker segmentation is obtained trough a Dirichlet Process Mixture (DPM) model which can be interpreted as a flexible model with an infinite a priori number of components. Learning is based on a Variational Bayesian approximation of the infinite sequence. DPM model is compared with fixed prior systems learned b...

GM2 and GA2 gangliosides from the brain of a patient who died of Sandhoff's disease were purified by solvent partition, silicic acid and silica gel column chromatography, and silica gel preparative thin-layer chromatography. They were tritiated in the terminal N-acetylgalactosamine residue using galactose oxidase and sodium [3H]borohydride with the inclusion of catalase and peroxidase into the ...

Accelerated soil erosion and landslides are destructive consequences of road development intensive agriculture in the central highlands Sri Lanka. Properly designed vegetation covers can play a vital role control. Identifying plant that adapt to eroded land with low-nutrient supply is critical for natural management. A perennial creeper legume, Vigna marina, adaptable marginal lands used contro...

運動や変形を伴う対象に対してプロジェクションマッピングを施すダイナミックプロジェクションマッピング(DPM) に関する研究が盛んに行われ，多彩な発展を見せている．本稿ではプロジェクションマッピングとDPM では要求されるシステムの高速性が決定的に異なることを指摘し，その高速性を実現する高速ビジョンチップや高速プロジェクタ，高速画像処理といった高速ビジョン技術群を紹介する．更に，これら高速ビジョン技術を用いて無拘束かつ多次元の表現に向けて進化を続けているDPM の応用研究について解説する．
