A recently proposed method for automatic radiometric normalization of multiand hyperspectral imagery based on the invariance property of the Multivariate Alteration Detection (MAD) transformation and orthogonal linear regression is extended by using an iterative re-weighting scheme involving no-change probabilities. The procedure is first investigated with partly artificial data and then applie...

CLINICAL QUESTION What is the best treatment for venous ulcers? RESULTS Compression aids ulcer healing. Pentoxifylline can aid ulcer healing. Artificial skin grafts are more effective than other skin grafts in helping ulcer healing. Correction of underlying venous incompetence reduces ulcer recurrence. IMPLEMENTATION POTENTIAL PITFALLS TO AVOID ARE: Failure to exclude underlying arterial di...

A main issue in the field of artificial intelligence and law is the translation of source of law that are written in natural language into formal models of law. This article describes a step in that transformation: the creation of models for individual sentences in a source of law. The approach uses a natural language parse to analyse the sentence, and then translates the resulting parse tree t...

Financial markets represent one of the most complex environments for business and there are a lot of types of external factors which impact their dynamics. The recent financial turbulence materialized by the global financial crisis 2008-2009 and the European sovereign debt crisis (2010-2012) made serious pressure on financial markets that proved their fragility and sensitivity in a different ma...

We have investigated the increased rate of glycolysis following transformation of chick embryo fibroblasts by Rous sarcoma virus. In both normal and transformed cells the regeneration of adenosine 5 -diphosphate and orthophosphate was found to be the rate-limiting factor for glycolysis. The plasma membrane Na -K -adenosine5 -triphosphatase (ATPase) was a major contributor to adenosine 5 -diphos...

each word can be changed over time. understanding the terminology changes in any knowledge is imperative and it prevents the researchers of that knowledge from taking mistakes. this article is trying to perform the semantic transformation of the term of pleura.

The financial transformation journey is often addressed through trying to avoid the pitfalls associated with the causes of failure while leveraging the critical success factors. At best, Chief Financial Officers adopting this approach are likely to improve the degree of customer service experienced by Finance department. This is unlikely to lead to sustainable financial transformation being ach...
