By analyzing the characteristics of product images, we proposed a fast supervised image classifier which is based on class-specific Pyramid Histogram Of Words (PHOW) descriptor and Im-age-to-Class distance (PHOW/I2C). In the training phase, the local features are densely sampled and represented as soft-voting PHOW descriptors, and then the class-specific descriptors are built with the means and variances of distribution of each visual word in each labelled class. For online testing, the normalized chi-square distance is calculated between the descriptor of query image and each class-specific descriptor. The class label corresponding to the least I2C distance is taken as the final winner. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and quickness of our method in the tasks of product clas-sification.展开更多

At one year, eG FR was not significantly different between groups(median 59 mL /min in DSA-Cw group, compared to median 51 mL /min in DSA-A-B group, P = 0.192). Moreover, kidney graft survival was similar between groups at 5-years(100% in DSA-Cw group vs 91% in DSA-A-B group, P = 0.528). The sole independent predictor of antibody mediated rejection(AMR) incidence was DSA strength(HR = 1.07 per 1000 increase in MFI, P = 0.034). AMR was associated with shortened graft survival at 5-years, with 75% and 100% grafts surviving in patients with or without AMR, respectively(Log-rank P = 0.005).CONCLUSION Our data indicate that DSA-Cw are associated with an identical risk of AMR and impact on graft function in comparison with "classical" class I DSA.展开更多

It extends Z with a number of features that provide support for object-oriented design and management of specifications of very large systems. In addition to the usual object-oriented structures such as encapsulation into classes and inheritance, OOZS has some distinctive features : the Include facility, Import&Export mechanism, Pre&Post predicate, and the improved Delta&Xi list. This paper gives a brief description of this language.展开更多

However, deficiencies remain in the specification of materials used mainly in hydraulic concrete. They are generally related to the specification of aggregates for alkali reactivity and the choice of exposure classes specified in NF EN 206-1. The purpose of this article is to study the incidence of non-compliance with exposure classes in reinforced concrete structures. To carry out this study, surveys were carried out at several sites (districts) in Dakar (Cité Avion, Touba Ouakam, Cité Asecna, Cité Batrain, Cité Comico, Cité Assemblée and Terme Sud) in order to collect information on the formulation and implementation methods used. The comparison of the various readings carried out made it possible to deduce conclusions and to give recommendations when using standard NF EN 206-1.展开更多

Multimedia, network and various information products have been integrated into all aspects of people's lives. In the development of human history, education is an indispensable element. Therefore, how to effectively integrate information technology and teaching courses has become the focus of current educational research. Class access to ICTs, as a teaching facility connecting the village with the external resource pool, can provide an important breakthrough for the perfect combination of information technology and curriculum teaching. It not only has the advantages of the traditional teaching model, but also solves the problem of inconvenient operation of the traditional teaching model. Therefore, it is highly recognized and favored by teachers and students.展开更多
