Introduced reindeer, Rangifer tarandus, overexploited lichen-rich plant communities on St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea. A die-off of the reindeer followed, exacerbated by extreme weather in 1964, resulting in extirpation of the reindeer. A similar pattern of removal of lichens as major components of plant communities has occurred following introductions of reindeer to other islands at high...

A recently published article by Ko et al1 illustrates a commonly encountered problem with the interpretation of correlation coefficients in medical research. The authors stated the correlation coefficient ranged from -0.002 to 0.15. If the P value was greater than 0.05, they interpreted the findings as indicating no correlation. Otherwise, there was weak correlation. The t value of the correlat...

Recently, two high-dimensional encoding techniques for human action recognition, namely, Fisher vector (FV) and vector of locally aggregated descriptors (VLAD), are widely employed. In this study, a new human action recognition approach using improved VLAD with localized soft assignment (LSA) and second-order statistics is proposed. When encoding videos into VLAD, instead of considering only th...

This paper compares two influential attempts at presenting a comprehensive framework of knowledge management. For each perspective the author examines theoretical foundations, highlights conceptual elements and themes, and discusses the role of information and information management. Ikujiro Nonaka and Hirotaka Takeuchi analyze the dynamics of knowledge creation, particularly the importance of ...

The new species is a member of an apparently monophyletic group within the genus that includes R. flexile, R. walga, R. himanturi, R. burgeri, R. euzeti, R. hawaiiensis, R. urobatidium, R. paratrygoni, R. ditesticulum, R. tetralobatum, R. margaritense, R. biorchidum, and R. spinicephalum. All of these species have bothridia with medial longitudinal septa, a constriction at mid-bothridium, and, ...

Résumé. Trouver et classer les documents pertinents par rapport à une requête est fondamental dans le domaine de la recherche d’information. Notre étude repose sur la localisation des termes dans les documents. Nous posons l’hypothèse que plus les occurrences des termes d’une requête se retrouvent proches dans un document alors plus ce dernier doit être positionné en tête de la liste de réponse...
