In the real world, people clothe themselves in garments whose cut and design encodes information about their social identity. This encoding changes temporally as the design spreads throughout a population: this is the basis of "fashion." A similar sense of fashion has emerged on the World Wide Web (WWW), as people embellish their homesites with links, pictures, and other objects that exhibit si...

Up to 40% of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are refractory to medication. Surgery is an effective treatment but may cause new neurologic deficits including visual field deficits (VFDs). The ability to drive after surgery is a key goal, but a postoperative VFD precludes driving in 4-50% of patients even if seizure-free. VFDs are a consequence of damage to the most anterior portion of...

In the Indian context, when it comes to the mobile population, it is mostly truckers and labour migrants who have been given more attention from the National AIDS Control Organization. There are hardly any studies available in In...

Image based human detection is of great interest due to its potential applications. However, even detecting non-occluded standing humans remains challenging [4]. This is not surprising due to the large variety of backgrounds (scenarios, illumination) in which humans are present, as well as their intra-class variability (pose, clothe, occlusion). Nowadays, the most relevant baseline human detect...

Using a global assessment of land qual-ity and an interpolated population den-sity map, we show the spread of landimpacted by human habitation and ex-ploitation of natural resources. Land sys-tems defined as ‘pristine’, ‘minimal’ and‘low’ impact support about 4.3% of theworld population (about 235 millionpeople). These three zones occupy24.4% of the land (31....

From seeds, forms emerge, growing and evolving and interacting with each other and with their environment to produce what we see when we walk into a garden, a field or a forèst. As these plants provide resources such as fard for us to eat, timber for us to build with and fibre to clothe ourselves with, it is important to understand how they grow. Computational mortels can provide a theoretical ...

Ethnocentric beliefs and attributes of illness, etiology, and death are discussed in patients from three different cultures Navajo, Salish, and Hrnong. The cases illustrate the role of the dead in concerns and fears related to illness, depression and suicidal behavior. These issues are presented in the broader context of human experience with death and dying represented in the medical and anthr...

The sixteenth century saw a transformation in medicine as it came to be dominated by the ideals and methods of the Renaissance.1 The recovery of lost texts, and the availability in print of a wide-ranging medical literature from the ancient world, aroused overwhelming enthusiasm. The first phase of this development, marked above all by the printing of the works of Galen in Greek and of a flood ...
