A NOVEL WEB IMAGE RE-RANKING APPROACH BASED ON QUERY SPECIFIC SEMANTIC SIGNAT...Journal For Research
Image re-ranking, is an effective way to improve the results of web-based image search. Given a query keyword, a pool of images are initailly retrieved primarily based on textual data, the remaining images are re-ranked based on their visual similarities with the query image corresponding to the user input. A major challenge is that the similarities of visual features don't well correlate with images’ semantic meanings that interpret users’ search intention. Recently people proposed to match pictures in a semantic space that used attributes or reference categories closely associated with the semantic meanings of images as basis. Even though, learning a universal visual semantic space to characterize extremely diverse images from the internet is troublesome and inefficient. In this thesis, we propose a completely distinctive image re-ranking framework that learns completely different semantic spaces for numerous query keywords automatically at the on-line stage. The visual features of images are projected into their corresponding semantic spaces to induce semantic signatures. At the online stage, images are re-ranked by scrutiny their semantic signatures obtained from the semantic spaces such that by the query keyword. The proposed query-specific semantic signatures considerably improve both the accuracy and efficiency of image re-ranking.

The efficiency and quality of a feature descriptor are critical to the user experience of many computer vision applications. However, the existing descriptors are either too computationally expensive to achieve real-time performance, or not sufficiently distinctive to identify correct matches from a large database with various transformations. In this paper, we propose a highly efficient and distinctive binary descriptor, called local difference binary (LDB). LDB directly computes a binary string for an image patch using simple intensity and gradient difference tests on pair wise grid cells within the patch. A multiple-gridding strategy and a salient bit-selection method are applied to capture the distinct patterns of the patch at different spatial granularities. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to the existing state-of-the-art binary descriptors, primarily designed for speed, LDB has similar construction efficiency, while achieving a greater accuracy and faster speed for mobile object recognition and tracking tasks.

Este documento trata sobre la epilepsia. Define la epilepsia y las crisis epilépticas, y discute la clasificación, etiología, síndromes especiales, diagnóstico y evaluación de la epilepsia. Más de 50 millones de personas en el mundo tienen epilepsia, y la mayoría viven en países pobres con poco acceso a tratamiento. Existen diferentes tipos de crisis epilépticas y síndromes, que varían según la localización y causa del foco epileptogénico en el cerebro.
REMOVAL OF DISSOLVED SOLIDS IN WASTE WATER USING ACTIVATED CARBON FROM COCONU...Journal For Research
Effective removal of dissolved solids in drinking water as well as waste water has gained considerable significance these days because of the high level of TDS. Adsorbents are popular and effective in the removal of dissolved solids in water. Activated carbon is one of the most effective media for removing a wide range of contaminants from waste water. Activated carbon prepared from waste materials is effective in removing the dissolved solids in water. This paper present the effectiveness of activated carbon prepared from coconut shell in waste water purification especially for the removal of dissolved solids. Amount of dissolved solids in waste water collected from the college premises was estimated before and after treatment with activated carbon. Waste water was treated with activated carbon prepared from coconut shell for a period of 5 minutes, 30 minutes and 60 minutes. Treatment for 5 minutes was not enough for the effective removal of dissolved solids. Amount of dissolved solids decreases with increase in time of treatment, and stirring for 20 to 30 minutes could bring it to a level well below the permitted value. Treatment for 60 minutes has reduced the TDS to a considerable extent.

CORRELATION STUDIES ON PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETER AND PHYTOPLANKTON IN FRESH ...Journal For Research
The study analyzed the correlation between physico-chemical parameters and phytoplankton populations in Guthal Lake in Mandya District, Karnataka, India from June 2014 to May 2015. Chlorophyceae made up the largest portion of phytoplankton at 46.45%, followed by Bacillariophyceae at 30.76% and Cyanophyceae at 16.38%. Significant correlations were found between various parameters - Chlorophyceae were controlled by total acidity, Bacillariophyceae depended on total dissolved solids, phosphate and BOD, and Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae were regulated by total hardness, total solids, phosphate and BOD.

History of advertising - Mad Men and Women through the yearsKenton Larsen
This document provides a history of advertising from pre-industrial times to the present day. It describes how advertising evolved from word of mouth communication to address the needs of mass production, mass communication, mass distribution and mass education. Key eras included the industrializing age where ads provided product information, the industrial age focused on brand building and differentiation, radio in the 1920s-40s, television in the 1950s, and the modern interactive age of digital media. The document highlights many influential advertising pioneers and agencies and how their work shaped advertising approaches over time.
SAMY MAHFAR BRINGS MERIT TO HIS LOWER EAST SIDE TENANTSSMA Equities
By investing in improvements at his buildings at 22 Spring Street, 102 Norfolk Street, and 113 Stanton Street, Samy Mahfar and his firm SMA Equities have transformed living conditions for many tenants. First, he cured nearly 277 violations, most of which pre-existed long before he bought the buildings. He then began a series of renovations that vastly enhanced building safety, such as video intercoms, security cameras and new and stronger entry doors. In addition, Samy Mahfar upgraded the electrical systems so that residents are now able to run air-conditioners at the same time as hair dryers, toasters, and other appliances.

This document discusses different types of celestial objects including dwarf planets, comets, and asteroids. Dwarf planets are made of ice and dust and orbit the sun, examples include Pluto, Eris, and Ceres. Comets are mixtures of ice and frozen gases and dust that can orbit planets or land on them, collecting scientific information. The document also mentions Claudius Ptolemy, an ancient astronomer who believed the Earth was the center of the universe, and Galileo Galilei, an early astronomer who built a telescope and used it to discover Jupiter's moons, concluding the Sun is at the center of the solar system rather than the Earth.
