We present a discriminative model for correcting errors in automatically generated dependency trees. We show that by focusing on “structurally local” errors, we can improve the overall quality of the dependency structure. Defining the task by way of a locality constraint allows us to search over a large set of alternate dependency trees simply by making small perturbations to individual depende...

We present a new hybrid rendering method for interactive walkthroughs in photometrically complex environments. The display process starts from some approximation of the scene rendered at high frame rates using graphics hardware. Additional computation power is used to correct this rendering towards a high quality ray tracing solution during the walkthrough. This is achieved by applying correcti...

DURING the last two centuries the treatment of amblyopia ex anopsia in cases of strabismus has made considerable progress. One of the earliest forms of treatment was occlusion of the fixing eye. This was first carried out by Buffon (1743), who also showed the need for correction of the refractive error by means of spectacles. More than a century later, Javal (1896) thought that squint was prima...

this study investigates the effect of four types of oral corrective feedback, namely, explicit elicitation, implicit elicitation, explicit recast and implicit recast on the most commonly mispronounced phonological features among iranian efl learners through immediate uptake and retention. five classes were randomly categorized into four experimental groups and one control group, each with 18 in...

background around 7% of the world population have diabetes and suffer from its extensive complications. many studies are conducted on the positive effects of aerobic and resistance exercises on the reduction of body performances, but considering the available references, no specific study is conducted on the effect of eccentric exercises on patients with diabetes. objectives the current study a...

BACKGROUND Bracing is an effective strategy for scoliosis treatment, but there is no consensus on the best type of brace, nor on the way in which it should act on the spine to achieve good correction. The aim of this paper is to present the family of SPoRT (Symmetric, Patient-oriented, Rigid, Three-dimensional, active) braces: Sforzesco (the first introduced), Sibilla and Lapadula. METHODS Th...

BACKGROUND Medical image perception research relies on visual data to study the diagnostic relationship between observers and medical images. A consistent method to assess visual function for participants in medical imaging research has not been developed and represents a significant gap in existing research. METHODS Three visual assessment factors appropriate to observer studies were identif...

The current theories relating to the development and progression of myopia are related to exposure of the eye to hyperopic defocus. This paper discusses these theories and the large body of recent research investigating the evidence behind them. As both human and animal studies demonstrate, when considering the potential influence of defocus on eye growth, the duration of exposure as well as th...
