CONTEXT Commercial marketing is a critical but understudied element of the sociocultural environment influencing Americans' food and beverage preferences and purchases. This marketing also likely influences the utilization of goods and services related to physical activity and sedentary behavior. A growing literature documents the targeting of racial/ethnic and income groups in commercial adver...

Text data modeling has been usually considered with Bernoulli or multinomial event models. Poisson distribution is considered inefficient for text information retrieval. In this work, we propose to incorporate the Zero Inflated Poisson model in the Generative Topographic Mapping algorithm. The modified algorithm is presented as a text document cluster extraction and visualization tool. Experime...

In this letter we propose a new passivity-based control technique for Buck converter based DC microgrids comprising ZIP-loads, i.e., loads with the parallel combination of constant impedance (Z), current (I) and power (P). More precisely, novel passifying input storage function on mixed potential introduced by Brayton Moser, relaxing restrictive (sufficient) conditions Z, P voltage reference, w...

Abstract Roots are the anchorage organs of plants, responsible for water and nutrient uptake, exhibiting high plasticity. Root architecture is driven by interactions biomolecules, including transcription factors hormones that crucial players regulating root Multiple factor families involved in development; some, such as ARFs LBDs, have been well characterized, whereas others remain less investi...

The ZIP technique, a surgical equivalent of the 'Preclose' technique, useful for transcatheter aortic valve implantation or endovascular aortic aneurysm repair is described. While percutaneous closure devices are expensive, need a long learning curve and are associated with primary failure, the ZIP technique is easy and allows a quick, safe and anatomical closure of the artery. This procedure a...

StMBF1 (Solanum tuberosum multiprotein bridging factor 1) is a plant member of the MBF1 family of transcriptional co-activators. In an attempt to understand the role of StMBF1, we analyzed its interaction with plant transcription factors of the homeodomain-leucine zipper (Hd-Zip) family, a group of proteins with a typical leucine zipper motif adjacent to a homeodomain. StMBF1 is able to interac...

A methodology for recognizing ZIP codes @ostal codes) in handwritten addresses is presented. The method uses many diverse pattern recognition and image processing algorithms. Given a high-resolution image of a hand-written address block, the solution invokes routines capable of hypothesizing the location of the ZIP Code, segmenting and recognizing ZIP Code digits, locating and recognizing City ...
