The Shape Boltzmann Machine (SBM) [6] and its multilabel version MSBM [5] have been recently introduced as deep generative models that capture the variations of an object shape. While being more flexible MSBM requires datasets with labeled parts of the objects for training. In the paper we present an algorithm for training MSBM using binary masks of objects and the seeds which approximately cor...

Micropropagation protocol of Pimpinella candolleana an important ethno medicinal herb has been developed for the first time. High frequency plantlet regeneration was achieved from shoot tip explants of P. candolleana. Effect of growth regulators in different concentrations and combination of BAP, KN, NAA, IAA and IBA on in vitro morphogenesis was tried. The highest regeneration response was obs...

This paper has a specific objective of being useful for showing how the advances in mobile technologies can help for solving social and political aspects involved in the reform of subsidies in developing countries. It describes the work done to build a mobile-based supportive network that integrates all subsidies partners: governmental, non-governmental organizations, merchants, and beneficiari...

BACKGROUND Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) often present with significant cognitive deficits without corresponding evidence of cortical damage on neuroradiological examinations. One explanation for this puzzling observation is that the diffuse cortical abnormalities that characterize TBI are difficult to detect with standard imaging procedures. Here we investigated a patient with sev...

The Shape Boltzmann Machine (SBM) [1] has recently been introduced as a stateof-the-art model of foreground/background object shape. We extend the SBM to account for the foreground object’s parts. Our new model, the Multinomial SBM (MSBM), can capture both local and global statistics of part shapes accurately. We combine the MSBM with an appearance model to form a fully generative model of imag...

Solvent-extracted soybean meal (SSBM) is typically used as the primary protein source in swine diets United States. Mechanically extracted or expelled (MSBM) has increased concentrations of fat and decreased essential AA compared to SSBM, but MSBM been demonstrated have improved digestibility. This study aimed estimate NE value relative SSBM determine its effects on growth performance late nurs...
