The authors are to be congratulated for the systematic review ‘‘Are there patterns of bruising in childhood which are diagnostic or suggestive of abuse?’’. It is an extremely valuable piece of work, providing data for paediatricians working in the field of child protection. Results show that non-abusive bruises are generally small, sustained over bony prominences, and found on the front of the ...

in the present research, susceptibility of two strawberry cultivars (selva and gavita) to bruising was studied. individual fruits were subjected to impact and compressive forces. impact forces were applied through dropping the fruits from predetermined heights as well as pendulum. bruising volume was considered as damage index. in both methods bruising severity was increased as a function of im...

Bruising is very common in children. Examination of bruising can guide the clinician in ordering radiographic imaging studies of children who have suffered trauma. Additionally, bruising in infants and patterns of bruising that do not match the injury scenario offered by caretakers can raise the suspicion of abuse. This article reports preliminary experience with Wood lamp enhancement of faint ...

Infield pre-sorting is intended to remove processing-grade (inferior) fruit that are not suitable for the fresh market, so growers can handle sorted apples differentially in postharvest storage and packing achieve cost savings. To this goal, we developed an apple infield grading sorting system, which singulation, rotation, transportation achieved by using simple, compact pitch-variable screw co...

Included: studies that defined patterns of bruising in non-abused or abused children <18 years. Excluded: personal practice, review articles, single case reports, inadequate confirmation of abuse. Two independent full text...

A hierarchical framework is proposed to address the issues of modeling different type of words in keyword spotting (KWS). Keyword models are built at various levels according to the availability of training set resources for each individual word. The proposed approach improves the performance of KWS even when no training speech is available for the keywords. It also suggests an easier way to co...
