In this paper we present a new approach to classifying radiographs, which is the first important task of the IRMA system. Given an image, we compute posterior probabilities for each image class, as this information is needed for further IRMA processing. Classification is done by using an extended version of Simard’s tangent distance within a kernel density based classifier. We propose a new dis...

BACKGROUND There is a growing trend towards workplace drug testing in the UK, but there is little published data associated with this work. AIM This survey reviews our findings from workplace drug testing in comparison with the results obtained from routine illicit drug monitoring. METHODS The results of the analysis of 1617 specimens from 82 workplace drug testing sources and 12,281 submit...

There is growing evidence that motion perception is modulated by visual selective attention. In the 'attention-induced motion blindness' paradigm the detection of coherent motion in a random dot kinematogram (RDK) is impaired in a rapid serial presentation task [Sahraie, A., Milders, M., & Niedeggen, M. (2001). Attention induced motion blindness. Vision Research, 41, 1613-1617]. The effect depe...

This study compared the attendance records of students against their test score averages for students at four institutions across multiple sections of several different courses over a fourteen year period (N = 1617). Results indicated that attendance significantly influences test score averages for students across sections and institutions (R 2 = .181). Other results indicated that the same rel...

Plague, a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, has been responsible for at least 3 pandemics. During 1582-1583, a plague outbreak devastated the seaport of Alghero in Sardinia. By analyzing contemporary medical texts and local documentation, we uncovered the pivotal role played by the Protomedicus of Alghero, Quinto Tiberio Angelerio (1532-1617), in controlling the epidemic...

La interpretación escolástica de Aristóteles se concentra en la idea del derecho natural para justificar los fundamentos prepolíticos realidad social. Ahora bien, no existe una sola gran síntesis escolástica, ni hay tampoco un único aristotelismo que sea común a todos comentadores escolásticos Ethica ? 7. De ese modo, Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560), el llamado præceptor Germaniæ, expone distin...

from the sago palm is the starchy fibrous pith residue. This residue is abundantly and cheaply available especially in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia. It is usually washed off into drains or nearby streams together with wastewater, thus contributing to pollution load, or deposited in the factory’s compound, which can lead to serious environmental problems. It has no significant industrial or co...
