Statistical Spatial Color Information Modeling in Images and Applications Walid Elguebaly Image processing, among its vast applications, has proven particular efficiency in quality control systems. Quality control systems such as the ones in the food industry, fruits and meat industries, pharmaceutic, and hardness testing are highly dependent on the accuracy of the algorithms used to extract im...

We carried out the mechanochemical polymerization of methacryloyl derivatives of acetoaminophen and 5-fluorouracil in the presence of lactose. The reaction proceeded readily and the polymeric prodrugs were quantitatively produced. This method produces powdered polymeric prodrugs in which fine particles of lactose are homogeneously dispersed, since the reaction proceeds quantitatively through a ...

The paper describes the design of semanticprimitive-based lexical consultation system and the possible processes which will be performed on a mahine-readable dictionary (MRD) and corpus to produce a machine-tractable dictionary (MTD) and tractable corpus automatically. Linguistic tools and reources are created during or after the processes.

Theory-driven text analysis has made extensive use of psychological concept dictionaries, leading to a wide range of important results. These dictionaries have generally been applied through word count methods which have proven to be both simple and effective. In this paper, we introduce Distributed Dictionary Representations (DDR), a method that applies psychological dictionaries using semanti...

In recent years, huge advances have taken place in understanding of inner ear pathophysiology causing sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo. Advances in understanding comprise biochemical and physiological research of stimulus perception and conduction, inner ear homeostasis, and hereditary diseases with underlying genetics. This review describes and tabulates the various causes of ...

An increasing number of studies in political communication focus on the “sentiment” or “tone” of news content, political speeches, or advertisements. This growing interest in measuring sentiment coincides with a dramatic increase in the volume of digitized information. Computer automation has a great deal of potential in this new media environment. The objective here is to outline and validate ...
