Test is one of the tools that are used to evaluate learner's achievement. Most of test scoring in e-learning systems are for true-false and fill in blank questions. Description questions are human efforts and time consuming. A courseware with its questions bank had been built based on ontology. Extracting the semantic keywords from the learner's answer would be used to score the answe...

OBJECTIVE We previously reported that lupus anticoagulant (LAC) is the main predictor of poor pregnancy outcome in antiphospholipid antibody (aPL)-positive patients. We sought to confirm this finding in an independent group of patients who were subsequently recruited into the PROMISSE study. METHODS The PROMISSE study is a multicentre, prospective, observational study of pregnancy outcomes in...

This paper describes a robust and efficient method for rotation and location independent identification and localization of facial images using one modified Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN) which embeds a new Heuristic Based Clustering (HBC) and Back Propagation (BP) learning. HBC in RBFN determines the natural number of clusters or groups on the basis of 'person-view'. BP network...

BACKGROUND The importance of maternal sanitation behaviour during pregnancy for birth outcomes remains unclear. Poor sanitation practices can promote infection and induce stress during pregnancy and may contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs). We aimed to assess whether poor sanitation practices were associated with increased risk of APOs such as preterm birth and low birth weight in a ...

Everybody rely on recommendations in everyday life from other people either orally or by reviews printed in newspapers or websites. Recommender systems are a subfamily of information filtering systems that explore to predict the 'rating' or 'preference' that user would give to an item. These systems are best known for their use in e-commerce websites where they use input abo...

In this paper, the relation between the Glushkov automaton (Apos) and the partial derivative automaton (Apd) of a given regular expression, in terms of transition complexity, is studied. The average transition complexity of Apos was proved by Nicaud to be linear in the size of the corresponding expression. This result was obtained using an upper bound of the number of transitions of Apos. Here ...

This analytical article examines the approaches of Israeli government led by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, who assumed power in Israel on June 13, 2021, to two key threats security: a potential “nuclear deal” with Iran (Iran's nuclear program advancement) amid Iranian regime's support for Palestinian factions Gaza Strip problem Palestinian-Israeli conflict settlement. The au...

'Data Mining' is a way of extracting data or uncovering hidden patterns of information from databases. So, there is a need to prevent the "inference rules" from being disclosed such that the more secure data sets cannot be identified from non-sensitive attributes. This can be done through removing/adding certain item sets in the transactions (Sanitization). The purpose is to...

Actual Quantifiability is a concept in MapReduce that is based on two assumptions: (1) every mapper is cautious, i. e. , does not exclude any reducer's key-value split pattern choice from consideration, and (2) every mapper respects the reducer's key-value split pattern preferences, i. e. , deems one reducer's key-value split pattern choice to be infinitely more likely than anoth...
