one of the human-computation techniques is games with a purpose (GWAP) and microtask crowdsourcing. These techniques can help in making the image retrieval (IR) be more accurate and helpful. It provides the IR system’s database with a rich of information by adding more descriptions and annotations to images. One of the systems of human-computation is ESP Game. ESP Game is a type of games with a...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the results of the Eurotransplant Senior Programme (ESP) within our centre compared to elderly recipients >or=60 years from the regular Eurotransplant Kidney Allocation System (ETKAS), specifically focusing on surgical aspects. METHODS Data from 73 ESP patients (average donor/recipient age: 71.1/67.1) were compared with those ...

BACKGROUND Endometrial stem/progenitor cells contribute to the cyclical regeneration of human endometrium throughout a woman's reproductive life. Although the candidate cell populations have been extensively studied, no consensus exists regarding which endometrial population represents the stem/progenitor cell fraction in terms of in vivo stem cell activity. We have previously reported that hum...

This article describes information about ESP teaching, its various features, appearances, benefits, effectiveness.

We introduce a method for obtaining atomic point-charges that yield accurate representations of the electrostatic potentials (ESP) of large systems. The method relies on a decomposition of the density and subsequent projection of the multipole moments of the density components onto neighbouring atomic sites. The resulting local multipole-derived charges (LMDCs) are well-defined, do not require ...

BACKGROUND Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a lethal, rare hereditary disease with an estimated prevalence of 1:10 000. The genetic variants that cause CPVT are usually highly penetrant. To date, about 189 variants in 5 genes (RYR2, CASQ2, CALM1, TRND, and KCNJ2) have been associated with CPVT pathogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS The Exome Sequencing Project databa...

Although Event Stream Processing (ESP) systems exit for already more than a decade, we recently witness a true renaisance for ESP systems that have adopted the popular MapReduce paradigm. In this white paper, we advocate for the StreamMapReduce approach as it allows a (i) quick and easy transition of legacy MapReduce-based applications to ESP, (ii) simplifies the implementation of fault toleran...

The particles emitted from diesel engine exhaust have low resistivity and extremely small in the range of 70-120nm. An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) has been extensively used for the collection of these particles. A two-stage ESP using charging section and collection section has been installed for the collection of diesel particles and improving the visibility index in road tunnels. The char...

The potential virulence factors of enterococci include production of enterococcal surface protein (Esp), gelatinase, and hemolysin. Gelatinase- and hemolysin-producing strains of Enterococcus faecalis have been shown to be virulent in animal models of enterococcal infections. Esp production has been shown to enhance the persistence of E. faecalis in the urinary bladder. We determined the presen...
