In this paper, we propose a method for handwritten text characterization based on a multiscale and multiresolution drawing analysis. The approach lies on the definition of four complementary handwritten text visual dimensions: the macro and micro orientation (obtained with a frequencies multiscale image analysis), the text linearity (defined by the merge of connected components), the curvature ...

Perhaps it is just as well that most medical practitioners are neither famous nor of any real interest to general public. Professional writers, poor souls, ?re not spared the risks of fame. This book by Geoffrey Grigson spells out their problems. Fortunately none of us is likely to be the target (or S|Jbject) of such public critical appraisal. A tactfully Phrased obituary notice in the medical ...

Despite much research interest, the experiences of priests who are mothers to dependent children have been minimally investigated.

A pattern is a configuration or solution to a problem in the design and/or implementation of software that is repeatedly found, though almost always in slightly different form depending on the circumstances. A pattern then is not a programming language construct or an idiom, though in some cases it might be possible to generalize a pattern that way. Many software systems a...

The current study builds upon a previous study, which examined the degree to which the lexical properties of students’ essays could predict their vocabulary scores. We expand on this previous research by incorporating new natural language processing indices related to both the surfaceand discourse-levels of students’ essays. Additionally, we investigate the degree to which these NLP indices can...
