For decades, social science researchers have been studying programs, services, and settings that are explicitly designed to an influence on children (e.g., mental health services for children, school classrooms, after families, neighborhoods). Researchers who concerned with the contexts in which develop, issues and/or justice generally define evaluate a problem related these programs or settings, sometimes create assess intervention. Consequently, often ones determine definition. Common...

Abstract Tumor recurrence affects up to 70% of early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, depending on treatment option. Deep learning algorithms allow in-depth exploration imaging data discover features that may be predictive recurrence. This study explored the use convolutional neural networks (CNN) predict HCC in patients with from pre-treatment magnetic resonance (MR) images. retrospective included 120 HCC. Pre-treatment MR images were fed into a machine pipeline (VGG16 and...

Abstract Geodesic covering problems form a widely researched topic in graph theory. One such problem is geodetic introduced by Harary et al. [Math. Comput. Modelling, 1993, 17, 89-95]. Here we introduce variation of the and call it strong edge problem. We illustrate how this evolved from social transport networks. It shown that NP-complete. derive lower upper bounds for number demonstrate these are sharp. produce exact solutions trees, block graphs, silicate networks glued binary trees...

Perspectives have emerged within health psychology that focus on the social constitution of and emphasize community development change strategies to reduce human suffering improve quality life. Education training are needed build student capacity in these areas. Our analysis, grounded theoretical, empirical, experiential evidences, suggests arts may play a leading role building this for research action. Major themes promote understandings values, goals, practices community-based work enable...

Using a grounded theory approach, we found that students used descriptive names to navigate complex group demands. Their reductionist strategies interfered with learning, prevented flexibility, pointed small fatigue.

In order to model certain social network problems, the strong geodetic problem and its related invariant, number, are introduced.The is conceptually similar classical but seems intrinsically more difficult.The number compared with isometric path number.It determined for several families of graphs including Apollonian networks.Applying Sierpiński graphs, an algorithm developed that returns a minimum cover networks corresponding also proved NP-complete.

This paper presents an iris recognition system, based on a wavelet packet analysis using orthogonal wavelets. The identification of the different packets that carry discriminating information about texture is carried out through energy measure. Tests, conducted database 149 high quality images show good robustness in relation to changes illumination, blurring, optical axis deviation or local defects images.

For the retrieval of complementary information from medical images fusion multimodal is necessary. The fused image should not introduce any undesired feature and process possess all relevant information. In more precise diagnosis better treatment facilities are used. Higher accuracy reliability provided by image. Shift sensitivity, poor directionality lack phase real valued wavelet transform based method properties. Therefore Daubechies complex used for fusion, since it has less...
