Electric fishes modulate their electric organ discharges with a remarkable variability. Some patterns can be easily identified, such as pulse rate changes, offs and chirps, which are often associated with important behavioral contexts, including aggression, hiding and mating. However, these behaviors are only observed when at least two fish are freely interacting. Although their electrical puls...

With the increase in popularity of e-commerce, more and more customer reviews are available online, it’s usually hard to go through each of them. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) was used to mine product aspect. Considering the weakness of standard LDA when processing review text, we defined the product aspect model, and predefined aspects for different domains, and proposed aspect model combi...

An integrated study of compact stellarator power plants, ARIES-CS, was initiated recently to explore attractive compact tellarator configurations and to define key R&D areas. Optimization of any stellarator configuration represents a large number f trade-offs among physics parameters and engineering constraints. As such, the ARIES-CS study was divided into three phases. he first phase was devot...

During the optimization of a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network, the operations and maintenance center (OMC) measurements are of significant importance. Because of false predictions, the capacity planning of a cell may be done inaccurately. If the capacity of the cell is not adequate to handle all of the busy-hour requests, the requests are not granted a channel and users are...

The semantic enrichment of mobility data with several information sources has led to a new type movement data, the so-called multiple aspect trajectories. Comparing trajectories is crucial for analysis tasks such as querying, clustering, similarity, and classification. Multiple trajectory similarity measurement more complex computationally expensive, because large number heterogeneous aspects s...

We present experiments and simulations of plunging maneuvers large amplitude, for velocity ratios 2, defined as the ratio between peak plunge freestream velocity. explore effect airfoil shape by considering a NACA 0012 wing flat plate. The are performed with wings aspect 4 4.86, whereas using model an infinite-aspect-ratio wing. report time evolution force coefficients flow visualizations. A go...

Molecular imaging agent design involves simultaneously optimizing multiple probe properties. While several desired characteristics are straightforward, including high affinity and low non-specific background signal, in practice there are quantitative trade-offs between these properties. These include plasma clearance, where fast clearance lowers background signal but can reduce target uptake, a...

BACKGROUND Fetal adversity, evidenced by poor fetal growth for instance, is associated with increased risk for several diseases later in life. Classical cut-offs to characterize small (SGA) and large for gestational age (LGA) newborns are used to define long term vulnerability. We aimed at exploring the possible dynamism of different birth weight cut-offs in defining vulnerability in developmen...
