چکیده

Historical manuscript dating has always been an important challenge for historians but since countless manuscripts have become digitally available recently, the pattern recognition community has started addressing the dating problem as well. In this chapter, we present a family of local contour fragments (kCF) and stroke fragments (kSF) features and study their application to historical document dating. kCF are formed by a number of k primary contour fragments segmented from the connected component contours of handwritten texts and kSF are formed by a segment of length k of a stroke fragment graph. The kCF and kSF are described by scale and rotation invariant descriptors and encoded into trained codebooks inspired by classical bag of words model. We evaluate our methods on the Medieval Paleographical Scale (MPS) data set and perform dating by writer identification and classification. As far as dating by writer identification is concerned, we arrive at the conclusion that features which perform well for writer identification, are not necessary suitable for historical document dating. Experimental results of dating by classification demonstrate that a combination of kCF and kSF achieves optimal results.

Dissimilar mechanistic background of peripheral and orofacial hyperkinesia in patients with Parkinson’s disease and levodopa-induced dyskinesia

Introduction: Long-term levodopa treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is frequently complicated by spontaneously occurring involuntary muscle movements called dyskinesia. The exact pathological mechanism of this complication has not yet been elucidated. We have previously demonstrated that in PD patients the vulnerability to develop peripheral but not orofacial dyskinesia is associated w...
