Active shape models unleashed

Active Shape Models (ASMs) are a popular family of segmentation algorithms which combine local appearance models for boundary detection with a statistical shape model (SSM). They are especially popular in medical imaging due to their ability for fast and accurate segmentation of anatomical structures even in large and noisy 3D images. A well-known limitation of ASMs is that the shape constraint...

Haskell Type Constraints Unleashed

The popular Glasgow Haskell Compiler extends the Haskell 98 type system with several powerful features, leading to an expressive language of type terms. In contrast, constraints over types have received much less attention, creating an imbalance in the expressivity of the type system. In this paper, we rectify the imbalance, transferring familiar type-level constructs, synonyms and families, to...

Embedded BI: Agents Unleashed

The cyclopean illusion unleashed

The cyclopean illusion is the apparent lateral shift of stationary stimuli on a visual axis that occurs when vergence changes. This illusion is predictable from the rules of visual direction. There are three stimulus situations reported in the literature, however, in which the illusion does not occur. In the three experiments reported here we examine those stimulus situations. Experiment 1 show...

Leishmaniasis unleashed in Syria.

As Syria prepares to enter its seventh year of war, the tide seems to have turned in favour of the Assad regime. Government forces over-ran Aleppo at the end of 2016, assisted by air support from Russia. President Bashar al-Assad has now regained control of all the major population centres in the country, including the four largest cities. As The Lancet Infectious Diseases went to press, a ceas...
