In this series we present a quiz about identification of salient and important anatomical landmarks present at a given level on the computed tomography (CT) image. The representative image is followed by further images showing examples of various commonly encountered pathologies that can be seen at this level in clinical practice. Readers are expected to identify highlighted structures in all t...

A methodology is proposed for extracting information on land cover based on hyperspectral reflectance data derived from satellite image, without supervising with ground truth. The reflectance percentage, being a characteristic feature of the ground object acts as an indirect guidance to the classification and hence the method is named semi-supervised classification. It is tried with IRS LISS IV...

We exploit a recently derived inversion scheme for arbitrary deep neural networks to develop a new semi-supervised learning framework that applies to a wide range of systems and problems. The approach outperforms current state-of-the-art methods on MNIST reaching 99.14% of test set accuracy while using 5 labeled examples per class. Experiments with one-dimensional signals highlight the generali...

In the course of studies of the epidemiology of coronary heart disease the suggestion arose that deaths from this condition in middle age may be less common among men engaged in physically active work than among those in " sedentary " jobs (Morris, Heady, Raffle, Roberts, and Parks, 1953). In testing this hypothesis an analysis was made of data in the Registrar General's Decennial Supplement fo...

We present a review of our previous ab initio calculations of Stark broadening parameters using semi-classical perturbation method for the calculation of Stark widths and shifts, and the SUPERSTRUCURE (SST) code for the determination of atomic structure. SST code takes into account the configuration interactions and relativistic effects. New results are also presented for some spectral lines of...

In this paper we propose XICOMASQ, an XML-based multi-agent system for the user-oriented management of QoS in telecommunications networks. XICOMASQ is characterized by the following features: (i) it is strongly subjective, i.e. it handles network management activities according to user preferences represented by a user profile; (ii) it can operate on a large variety of telecommunications networ...

To investigate the mitotic dynamics of an appressorium, we used time-lapse confocal imaging of a fluorescence-based mitotic reporter strain of Magnaporthe oryzae. We present evidence that: (i) appressoria remain viable and mitotically active after host penetration, (ii) appressorial mitosis, like invasive hyphal mitosis, is semi-closed, (iii) sister chromatids separate within the appressorium, ...

Semantics of geospatial information is necessary to ensure its interoperability and correct usage. Geospatial ontologies enable encoding such knowledge and enable reasoning mechanisms to estimate interoperability. The framework of interoperability for geospatial information using ontologies, presented in this paper, supports (i) building of ontologies, (ii) semi-automated, ontology-based mappin...

We introduce publicly funded education in R&D-based economic growth theory. The framework allows us to i) incorporate a realistic process of human capital accumulation for industrialized countries, ii) reconcile R&D-based growth theory with the empirical evidence on the relationship between economic prosperity and population growth, iii) revise the policy invariance result of semi-endogenous gr...
