This paper introduces an open source Python toolkit for the Transkribus platform. One part of the toolkit offers a Python client for the Transkribus RESTful interface. The second part offers various Document Understanding tools. The open-source toolkit is freely available through GitHub. Keywords—Transkribus platform, RESTful client, Document Understanding, Conditional Random Fields, Sequential...

BACKGROUND Snake bite is a neglected public health problem in the world and one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in many areas, particularly in the rural tropics. It also poses substantial economic burdens on the snake bite victims due to treatment related expenditure and loss of productivity. An accurate estimate of the risk of snake bite is largely unknown for most countries in ...

abstract cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. current anticancer drugs involve various toxic side effects; efforts are ongoing to develop new anticancer agents especially from the screening of natural compounds. present study investigated cytotoxic effects and mode of cell death induced by the caspian cobra venom in some human cancer cell lines. cytotoxic effects of snake venom toxin...

NEST is a simulator for large-scale networks of spiking point neuron models (Gewaltig and Diesmann, 2007). Originally, simulations were controlled via the Simulation Language Interpreter (SLI), a built-in scripting facility implementing a language derived from PostScript (Adobe Systems, Inc., 1999). The introduction of PyNEST (Eppler et al., 2008), the Python interface for NEST, enabled users t...

Résumé. Cet article présente une bibliothèque python appelée KNG permettant d’écrire facilement des automates et transducteurs finis. Grâce à une gestion soigneuse des codages et des entrées-sorties, cette bibliothèque permet de réaliser une cascade de transducteurs au moyen de tubes unix reliant des scripts python. Abstract. This paper presents a Python library called KNG which provides facili...

We present a small-step operational semantics for the Python programming language. We present both a core language for Python, suitable for tools and proofs, and a translation process for converting Python source to this core. We have tested the composition of translation and evaluation of the core for conformance with the primary Python implementation, thereby giving confidence in the fidelity...

BACKGROUND Snake bite is an important occupational and rural hazard because India has always been a land of Exotic snakes. In Maharashtra, common poisonous snakes are Cobra, Russell's Viper, Saw Scaled Viper, and Krait. It is a fact that inspite of heavy morbidity and mortality, very little attention is paid by the clinicians to this occupational hazard. AIMS To study the prevalence of poison...

We create a Python GUI scripting interface working under Windows in addition to (UNIX/ Linux). The GUI has been built around the Python open-source programming language. We use the Python's GUI library that so called Python Mega Widgets (PMW) and based on Tkinter Python module (http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/tutgui.htm). The new GUI was motivated primarily by the desire of more upd...

This article addresses the performance of scientific applications that use the Python programming language. First, we investigate several techniques for improving the computational efficiency of serial Python codes. Then, we discuss the basic programming techniques in Python for parallelizing serial scientific applications. It is shown that an efficient implementation of the array-related opera...
