Automatic methods of calculating canvas thread counts from x-rays of paintings reveal a systematic pattern for warp and weft thread densities that persists along the respective thread directions. These patterns can be used to find paintings that have matching weave patterns, with warp-thread pattern matches more prevalent than weft-thread matches when trying to associate paintings to the same c...

While considerable effort and some progress has been made on developing an analytic formula for the probability of an approximate match, such work has not achieved fruition [4, 6, 2, 1]. Therefore, we consider here the development of an unbiased estimation procedure for determining said probability given a specific string P ∈ Σ and a specific cost function δ for weighting edit operations. Probl...

Abstract Two partly conflicting academic pressures from the seriousness of Covid-19 pandemic are need for faster peer review health-related research and greater scrutiny its findings. This paper investigates whether decreases in durations articles were universal across 97 major medical journals, as well Nature, Science, Cell. The results suggest that on average, submitted during 2020 reviewed 1...

Volunteer 247 football referees in the Turkish Professional Football Leagues were included this study which aims to evaluate effect of blood groups and nutritional habits different classifications’ on success management. After demographic information (age, height, weight, education level (based their statements)) taken, total refereeing times, classifications duration classifications, obtained ...

Research into the career dynamics of high-performance level match officials across sports is scarce. The present study analyses elite football referees from childhood to level, creating a context life design and pattern for identifying individuals with potential talent. Twelve international participated in semi-structured in-depth interviews utilizing narrative inquiry. Participants were asked ...

In this study, the three-person officiating (3PO) principle was employed as an innovative method to examine decision-making (DM) processes among basketball referees. We aimed at exploring whether ranking, experience, and teamwork 25 referees could predict accuracy of DM in ambiguous situations taken from games. An analysis 283 cases 100 filmed games conducted. The events were then classified by...

This paper describes the methodology adopted to jointly develop the Basque WordNet and a hand annotated corpora (the Basque Semcor). This joint development allows for better motivated sense distinctions, and a tighter coupling between both resources. The methodology involves edition, tagging and refereeing tasks. We are currently half way though the nominal part of the 300.000 word corpus (roug...
