Sign languages modulate the production of signs in space and use this spatial modulation to refer back to entities-to maintain coreference. We ask here whether spatial modulation is so fundamental to language in the manual modality that it will be invented by individuals asked to create gestures on the spot. English speakers were asked to describe vignettes under 2 conditions: using gesture wit...

Presented in this paper is a neural back propagation algorithm for reconstructing two-dimensional CT images from a small number of projection data. The paper extends the work in [1], in which a backpropagation algorithm is applied to the CT image reconstruction problem. The delta rule of the ordinary backpropagation algorithm is modified using a ‘secondary’ teaching signal and the ‘Resilient ba...

Classification of tumor subtype is a critical issue in tumor diagnosis and treatment. A correct identification of tumor subtype enables appropriate treatment and leads to faster recovery of the patient. Conventional methods of tumor sub-classification largely depend on the physician’s knowledge and experience. The main intension of proposed method is to automate the customized approach of tumor...

IEEE is currently conducting an effort to standardize a full duplex, spatial reuse, ring network architecture, called the Resilient Packet Ring (IEEE P802.17). We discuss use of backpressure flow-control for congested stations to communicate their congestion state to their upstream stations and the use of fairness algorithms to ensure fair allocation of network resources between stations on suc...

Both academics and practitioners have recently discovered resilience as a core topic of interest. Resilience is widely viewed as a potential solution to the challenges posed by crises and disasters. The promise of resilience is an organization or society that absorbs shocks and ‘bounces back’ after a disturbance. While the idea of resilience is increasingly popular, empirical research on resili...

Faces represent complex, multidimensional, meaningful visual stimuli and developing a computational model for face recognition is difficult [1]. In this paper we propose a new approach to detect the human faces quickly and efficiently by using Eigen faces technique along with ANN using resilient back propagation algorithm. In this process the face structure can be converted into Eigen values. T...

Web spam is a big challenge for quality of search engine results. It is very important for search engines to detect web spam accurately. In this paper we present 32 low cost quality factors to classify spam and ham pages on real time basis. These features can be divided in to three categories: (i) URL features, (ii) Content features, and (iii) Link features. We developed a classifier using Resi...

In the current competitive and dynamic market, customer demands and interests are changing continuously, and hence, risk of disruption in the supply chain is also increasing. To be successful in this scenario, supply chain of a firm should be resilient. Most of the firms realize that with a specific end goal to develop a resilient supply chain, there is a need for assessment of performance. The...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of silicone remover on tensile bond strength of eight silicone-resilient denture liners to a denture base resin. Durability of bond strength of resilient denture liner to denture base resin was also examined by thermal cycling test. Materials and Methods: Eight commercial silicone resilient denture liners were used. The specimens...
