Going to the cinema, watching a movie and thereby eating popcorn is an enjoyable event. Nobody would consider watching the movie and eating popcorn as cumbersome or exhausting multitasking. This is due to our capabilities of carrying out small, well trained tasks (like eating) in parallel. However, when interacting with digital devices, we hardly use this skill and have to switch our focus and ...

In this short communication we want to give an overview of how OpenMath is used in the European project “SCIEnce” [12]. The main aim of this project is to allow unified communication between different computer algebra systems (CASes) or different instances of one CAS. This may involve one or more computers, clusters, and even grids. The main topics are the use of OpenMath to marshal mathematica...

The objective of this study was to determine the optimal number of repetitions to be used in competition trials of popcorn traits related to production and quality, including grain yield and expansion capacity. The experiments were conducted in 3 environments representative of the north and northwest regions of the State of Rio de Janeiro with 10 Brazilian genotypes of popcorn, consisting by 4 ...

The noise behavior of bulk CMOS devices is dominated primarily by two noise sources: thermal noise and flicker (1/f) noise. Other sources that are sometimes present in the noise spectrum are shot noise, generation/recombination noise, and “popcorn” noise. Of these sources, thermal noise and shot noise are physically fundamental to the operation of the device and are always present. The quality ...

Semi-supervised learning (SSL) uses unlabeled data to compensate for the scarcity of annotated images and lack method generalization unseen domains, two usual problems in medical segmentation tasks. In this work, we propose POPCORN, a novel combining consistency regularization pseudo-labeling designed image segmentation. The proposed framework high-level constrain our model use similar latent f...

Cytological analysis of microsporogenesis in 72 popcorn plants, comprising nine from the original population (CMS-43, S(0)) and 63 from seven cycles of self-fertilization (S(1) to S(7)), one plant of S(0) generation (plant 2) was identified with B chromosomes. The number of B chromosomes varied from two to three in the same anther. The pattern of chromosome pairing and meiotic behavior of Bs we...

A kernel of popping corn consists of a hard outer shell called the pericarp which is impermeable to moisture and a dense center filled with starch, water and some oil[8]. As the kernel is heated, internal pressure rises to approximately 135 psi, at which point the pericarp bursts. The steam and starch expands to a foam which rapidly cools forming the popcorn. Variations in the strength of the p...

Cerebral cavernous are vascular lesions defined by the presence of deformed capillaries without interposition of nervous tissue. These are relatively rare (0.1 to 0.5% of the general population and less than 5% are symptomatic), clinical symptomatology is dominated by hemorrhage and epilepsy, and also depends on the location. Cerebral MRI is the gold standard for diagnosis, therapeutic approach...
