Although listening quality measurement is well standardized the MOS scale may be to fine and not so easy for interpretation of results, for example for mobile operators. Therefore we thought that in some cases mapping to acceptability scale with less points would be more useful and we tried to find how to map these two scales on each other. For our purposes we used three points scale. We had an...

This paper studies improving joint segmentation and registration by introducing auxiliary labels for anatomy that has similar appearance to the target anatomy while not being part of that target. Such auxiliary labels help avoid false positive labelling of non-target anatomy by resolving ambiguity. A known registration of a segmented atlas can help identify where a target segmentation should li...

I t all started when Nathan Allen was stuck in the lab, babysitting his experiments for hours at a time. The 10or 15-minute blocks between checking on his reactions weren’t long enough to dig into anything substantial. Instead, he recalls, “I posted snarky comments on the internet, which you can do in 5 minutes.” Soon, Allen was answering science questions on the Web site Reddit, where he saw p...

In 1995, Allen Fisher published a poem entitled ‘Mummers’ Strut’ in an issue of the magazine West Coast Line,[1] accompanied by a statement of poetics. The poem is organised into twentyseven short numbered sections, mostly in couplets, ranging from two to twenty lines in length. The predominant impression is of a fragmented discourse that is hard to read as constructing a consistent speaking vo...
