OBJECTIVES We investigated photographic depictions of older people with dementia in news magazines according to their frequency as well as observable characteristics of the characters. METHOD We examined all 2,604 photos appearing in articles identified using the key words "dementia" and "Alzheimer's" published in the 4 major German weekly news magazines between 2000 and 2009. According to th...

The article deals with the way of solution to main problems in making Chinese Characters Introduction online course, which are extent theoretical part, teaching radicals, necessity pronunciation Mastering practical Testing acquired knowledge, as well some technical issues such encoding problems, etc.

1. Normal guinea pigs exposed to tuberculous cage mates infected intraperitoneally and with no cutaneous ulceration readily contract spontaneous tuberculosis. 2. The incidence of spontaneous tuberculosis increases with the intensity and with the duration of exposure. 3. Spontaneous tuberculosis acquired from infected cage mates has with few exceptions the characters of an infection which has en...

Optical character recognition system research has been acquired howling success, but the reconstruction of layout needs fonts of the characters. In this paper, a novel font recognition algorithm is proposed, which is based on multi-scale wavelet analysis. We adopt wavelet analysis and the grid method to deal with the character image, and extract wavelet energy density feature, and apply the BP ...

Adult learners of Chinese learned new characters through writing, visual chunking or reading-only. Following training, ERPs were recorded during character recognition tasks, first shortly after the training and then three months later. We hypothesized that the character training effects would be seen in ERP components associated with word recognition and episodic memory. Results confirmed a lar...

With the advent of sophisticated acquisition and analysis techniques, decoding the contents of someone's experience has become a reality. We propose a straightforward linear Gaussian approach, where decoding relies on the inversion of properly regularized encoding models, which can still be solved analytically. In order to test our approach we acquired functional magnetic resonance imaging data...

Behavioural biometrics have the potential to provide an additional or alternative authentication mechanism those involving a shared secret (i.e. password). Keystroke timings are focus of this study, where key press and release acquired whilst monitoring user typing known phrase. Many studies exist in keystroke biometrics, but there is absence literature aiming understand relationship between ch...
