Modes of Origin Features,

by D. F. Hewett
"... This paper is concerned with three of the fairly common. manganese oxide minerals, manganite, hausmannite, and braunire. The study includes the precise determination of the minerals: (1) by X-ray diffraction and (2) spectrographic analyses. Most of the numerous specimens were collected by the writer ..."

of making confident interpretations of their modes of origin. In many descriptions of the minerals, even during recent years, it has seemed that their identities have not been posi-tively determined and the criteria by which the modes of origin are interpreted leave some doubt that conclusions are correct

Multiple sequence alignment with the Clustal series of programs

by Ramu Chenna, Hideaki Sugawara, Tadashi Koike, Rodrigo Lopez, Toby J. Gibson, Desmond G. Higgins, Julie D. Thompson - Nucleic Acids Res , 2003
"... The Clustal series of programs are widely used in molecular biology for the multiple alignment of both nucleic acid and protein sequences and for preparing phylogenetic trees. The popularity of the programs depends on a number of factors, including not only the accuracy of the results, but also the ..."

the robustness, portability and user-friendliness of the programs. New features include NEXUS and FASTA format output, printing range numbers and faster tree calculation. Although, Clustal was originally developed to run on a local computer, numerous Web servers have been set up, notably at the EBI

Histograms of Oriented Gradients for Human Detection

by Navneet Dalal, Bill Triggs - In CVPR , 2005
"... We study the question of feature sets for robust visual object recognition, adopting linear SVM based human detection as a test case. After reviewing existing edge and gradient based descriptors, we show experimentally that grids of Histograms of Oriented Gradient (HOG) descriptors significantly out ..."

A Survey of Program Slicing Techniques

by F. Tip - JOURNAL OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES , 1995
"... A program slice consists of the parts of a program that (potentially) affect the values computed at some point of interest, referred to as a slicing criterion. The task of computing program slices is called program slicing. The original definition of a program slice was presented by Weiser in 197 ..."

Entropy-Based Algorithms For Best Basis Selection

by Ronald R. Coifman, Mladen Victor Wickerhauser - IEEE Transactions on Information Theory , 1992
"... pretations (position, frequency, and scale), and we have experimented with feature-extraction methods that use best-basis compression for front-end complexity reduction. The method relies heavily on the remarkable orthogonality properties of the new libraries. It is obviously a nonlinear transformat ..."

On active contour models and balloons

by D. Cohen - CVGIP: Image
"... The use.of energy-minimizing curves, known as “snakes, ” to extract features of interest in images has been introduced by Kass, Witkhr & Terzopoulos (Znt. J. Comput. Vision 1, 1987,321-331). We present a model of deformation which solves some of the problems encountered with the original method. ..."

Scale-Space Theory in Computer Vision

by Tony Lindeberg , 1994
"... A basic problem when deriving information from measured data, such as images, originates from the fact that objects in the world, and hence image structures, exist as meaningful entities only over certain ranges of scale. "Scale-Space Theory in Computer Vision" describes a formal theory fo ..."

The sources and consequences of embeddedness for the economic performance of organizations: The network effect

by Brian Uzzi - American Sociological Review , 1996
"... In this paper, I attempt to advance the concept of embeddedness beyond the level of a programmatic statement by developing a formulation that specifies how embeddedness and network structure affect economic action. On the basis of existing theory and original ethnographies of 23 apparel firms, I dev ..."

Cluster Ensembles - A Knowledge Reuse Framework for Combining Multiple Partitions

by Alexander Strehl, Joydeep Ghosh, Claire Cardie - Journal of Machine Learning Research , 2002
"... This paper introduces the problem of combining multiple partitionings of a set of objects into a single consolidated clustering without accessing the features or algorithms that determined these partitionings. We first identify several application scenarios for the resultant 'knowledge reuse&ap ..."

qualitatively different application scenarios: (i) where the original clusters were formed based on non-identical sets of features, (ii) where the original clustering algorithms worked on non-identical sets of objects, and (iii) where a common data-set is used and the main purpose of combining multiple

A social-cognitive approach to motivation and personality

by Carol S. Dweck, Ellen L. Leggett - Psychological Review , 1988
"... Past work has documented and described major patterns of adaptive and maladaptive behavior: the mastery-oriented and the helpless patterns. In this article, we present a research-based model that accounts for these patterns in terms of underlying psychological processes. The model specifies how indi ..."
Abstract - Cited by 964 (20 self) - Add to MetaCart
individuals ' implicit theories orient them toward particular goals and how these goals set up the different patterns. Indeed, we show how each feature (cognitive, affective, and behavioral) of the adaptive and maladaptive patterns can be seen to follow directly from different goals. We then exam
