OBJECTIVE Brain perfusion can be assessed non-invasively by modern arterial spin labeling MRI. The FAIR (flow-sensitive alternating inversion recovery)-TrueFISP (true fast imaging in steady precession) technique was applied for regional assessment of cerebral blood flow in brain areas close to the skull base, since this approach provides low sensitivity to magnetic susceptibility effects. The i...

Fairness in machine learning is getting rising attention as it directly related to real-world applications and social problems. Recent methods have been explored alleviate the discrimination between certain demographic groups that are characterized by sensitive attributes (such race, age, or gender). Some studies found data itself biased, so training on causes unfair decision making. Models tra...

The FAIRPoints organization, co-founded by the authors, aims to provide a platform for conversations take place around realistic and pragmatic implementations of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. uniqueness effort stems from an additional aim: capture conversation contributions in form “bite-sized” objects – “points” way that facilitates dynamic composition instru...

Several existing and successful full reference image quality assessment (IQA) models use linear color transformation and downsampling before measuring similarity or quality of images. This paper indicates to the right order of these two procedures and that the existing models have not chosen the more efficient approach. In addition, efficiency of these metrics is not compared in a fair basis in...

The performance of physicians in their day-to-day clinical practices has become an area of intense public interest. Both patients and health care purchasers want more effective means of identifying excellent clinicians, and a variety of organizations are discussing and implementing plans for assessing the performance of individual clinicians. In this article, we review the current state of phys...

The design and implementation of an assessment centre in the South Yorkshire and South Humberside deanery for selecting doctors into postgraduate training in paediatric medicine is described. Eleven competency domains were identified in the job analysis. An assessment centre comprising of four exercises was implemented to assess candidates. There were modest relationships between candidates' pe...
