Changes in geomagnetic conditions have been shown to affect the rhythms produced by brain and heart that human autonomic nervous system activity reflected rate variability (HRV) over longer time periods can synchronize changes amplitude of resonant frequencies field-line Schumann resonances. During a 15-day period, 104 participants located California, Lithuania, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Engla...

This paper reports prototype multilingual query expansion system relying on LMF compliant lexical resources. The system is one of the deliverables of a three-year project aiming at establishing an international standard for language resources which is applicable to Asian languages. Our important contributions to ISO 24613, standard Lexical Markup Framework (LMF) include its robustness to deal w...

We present a methodology to link domain thesauri to general-domain lexica. This is applied in the framework of the KYOTO project to link the Species2000 thesaurus to the synsets of the English WordNet. Moreover, we study the formalisation of this thesaurus according to the ISO LMF standard and its dialect WordNet-LMF. This conversion will allow Species2000 to communicate with the other resource...

Load side management is the basic and significant principle to keeping the balance between generation side and consumption side of electrical power energy. Load side management on typical medium voltage feeder is the power energy consumption control of connected loads with variation of essential parameters that loads do reaction to their variation. Knowing amount of load's reaction to each para...

The local model fitting (LMF) method is a single-shot surface profiling algorithm. Its measurement principle is based on the assumption that the target surface to be profiled is locally flat, which enables us to utilize the information brought by nearby pixels in the single interference image for robust LMF. Given that the shape and size of the local area is appropriately determined, the LMF me...

BACKGROUND Atopic eczema or dermatitis (AD) is associated with atopy and is characterized by reduced skin hydration and an impaired skin barrier in the epidermis. We investigated the patient acceptability and efficacy of an emollient containing ceramide-precursor lipids and moisturizing factors (LMF) in AD. METHODS Consecutive AD patients were recruited. Swabs and cultures were obtained from ...

Although cascaded multistage adaptive noise cancellers have been employed before by researchers for multiple artifact removal from the ElectroCardioGram (ECG) signal, they all used same algorithm in multi-stages adjusting filter weights. In this paper, we propose a 4-stage canceller of four artifacts present ECG viz. baseline wander, motion artifacts, muscle and 60 Hz Power Line Interference (P...
