ABST RACT The case report describes a Border collie puppy diagnosed with trapped neutrophil syndrome (TNS), an autosomal recessive inherited neutropenia. The report describes the clinical presentation, the course of the disease and diagnosis. Chronologically it appeared that that vaccination may have been a potential initiating factor in instigating the TNS in the puppy. The puppy also develope...

Dengue viruses, like many RNA viruses are highly mutagenic, which have a potential to generate approximately one nucleotide mutation per round of genome replication (Domingo, Escarmis et al. 1996). The extent of genetic diversity differs among the sylvatic/urban cycles, chronologically isolates, serotypes and genotypes of Dengue viruses. All four serotypes of Dengue viruses (DENV-1 to DENV-4) e...

M. Gross and H. Heinrichs (eds.), Environmental Sociology: European Perspectives and Interdisciplinary Challenges, DOI 10.1007/978-90-481-8730-0_2, © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 Abstract For quite some time environmental sociology has been preoccupied with understanding the fundamental causes of environmental crises. It is only since the 1990s that attention has shifted stronger t...

Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a powerful classification and regression tool. Varying approaches including SVM based techniques are proposed for email classification. Automated email classification according to messages or user-specific folders and information extraction from chronologically ordered email streams have become interesting areas in text machine learning research. This paper prese...

Clustering means grouping similar objects into groups such that objects within a same group bear similarity to each other while objects in different groups are dissimilar to each other. As an important component of data mining, much research on clustering has been conducted in different disciplines. In the context of web mining, clustering could be used to cluster similar clickstreams to determ...

This paper proposes a method of converting old addresses to current addresses for geocoding, with the aim of displaying on a map people who have such old addresses. Existing geocoding services often fail to handle old addresses since the names of towns, cities, or prefectures can be different from those of current addresses. To solve this geocoding problem, we focus on postal codes, extracting ...

Abstract This paper aims to clarify the process of formation Perriand's concept “form” toward “forme utile (useful form),” by tracing her production furniture chronologically. In other words, analyzing intersection “Mingei (folk‐craft)” tradition experienced in Japan and Western modernism utile,” this examines how “new decoration” steel pipe as led particular “decoration” interior spaces. “form...

We present a method aimed to compute the communicability (broadcast and receive) of nodes through causal paths in temporal networks. The considers all possible combinations chronologically ordered products adjacency matrices network snapshots by means damping procedure favors that have high communication efficiency. apply four real-world networks face-to-face human contacts identify with commun...

Perfumery has evolved from a handcraft activity, marking supreme aristocratic luxury in the Renaissance, to global industry powering scent experiences for present‐day consumers through use of myriad consumer packaged goods. This contribution reviews major breakthroughs field, including landmark fragrance ingredients, technological advances delivery, and key innovations products which created de...

background: in several conditions we have face cranial bone defects. reconstruction of these defects remains one of the most challenging problems encountered by craniofacial surgeons.   objective: to evaluate bone repair in cranial bone defects by use of an implant made of octacalcium phosphate in combination with bone matrix gelatin (ocp/bmg).   methods: we used 40, 5–6-week-old male sprague-d...
