Subjective sleep ratings were assessed by questionnaire and movements were recorded throughout the night with wrist-worn activity meters. Using the first period of 5 consecutive minutes without movement as a criterion of sleep onset, there was a significant decrease in sleep latency with 450 mg valerian compared to placebo (15.8 ± 2.2 min vs 9.0 ± 1.5 min; paired “t” = 3.37;p < 0.01). The higher dose of valerian produced no further improvement in sleep latency.

In this paper a new extension of the CONDENSATION algorithm, with application to infants face tracking, will be introduced. In this work we address the problem of tracking a face and its features in baby video sequences. A mixed state particle filtering scheme is proposed, where the distribution of observations is derived from an active appearance model. The mixed state approach combines several dynamic models in order to account for different occlusion situations. Experiments on real video show that the proposed approach augments the tracker robustness to occlusions while maintaining the computational time competitive. 1

La composition comprend (i) une source de proteine qui procure au moins environ 8 % des calories totales de la composition et qui comprend au moins environ 50 % en poids de proteines de lactoserum; (ii) une source de lipides presentant un taux d'acides gras omega 3:6 compris approximativement entre 5:1 et 10:1 et qui procure au moins environ 18 % des calories totales de la composition; (iii) une source glucidique; et (iv) un profil equilibre de macro-elements comprenant au moins de la vitamine E et de la vitamine C.

Distinguished authorities critically assess current dietary recommendations and eating habits and examine the technological, economic, political, cultural, and behavioural factors that influence the availability and consumption of food. The contributors explore the potential of new food production and processing technologies, propose strategies for guiding the public toward sound nutrition, and outline future research directions for industry, government, and the biomedical sciences.
