CONTEXT Controversy exists about the most appropriate seating position for children with cerebral palsy (CP) to promote energy conservation and maximize upper-extremity function. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Sixteen journal articles published after 1980 were identified by searching allied health, medical, and occupational and physical therapy data bases and evidence-based medicine reviews using speci...

An en face, medium energy electron boost of approximately 10 Gy is often given to stomal and peristomal tissues. Because the boost is considered a simple treatment, CT-based treatment planning is rarely used. Further, the results of such a plan might be inaccurate, as the complex dose distribution surrounding the stoma air cavity is poorly modeled by many treatment planning systems. We construc...

Abstract A measurement setup and method is presented that serves to determine constants characterising the timing behaviour of thermal infrared cameras. continuously rotating chopper wheel used periodically obscure reveal cutout a mask plate. The exposed fraction main measured quantity. Irregularities in are determined from timestamps light beam detectors head. suitable for both kinds cameras, ...

In this research, we consider the problem of verifying user identity based on keystroke dynamics obtained from free-text. We employ a novel feature engineering method that generates image-like transition matrices. For feature, convolution neural network (CNN) with cutout achieves best results. A hybrid model consisting CNN and recurrent (RNN) is also shown to outperform previous research in fie...

Galaxy clusters identified from the Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) effect are a key ingredient in multi-wavelength cluster-based cosmology. We present comparison between two methods of cluster identification: standard Matched Filter (MF) method SZ finding and using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). further implement show results for `combined' identifier. apply to simulated millimeter maps several ...

The problem of determining the values of the independent variable given a value of the dependent variable is commonly referred to as the inverse regression problem. This problem is also encountered in real life with circular data and we refer to it in that context as the inverse circular regression problem. For such a problem, we develop distance-basedmethods, and parametric methods, where we u...
