The present paper focuses on the main results of an inter-regional project (Bois-lab) aimed at determining the settings of various machines for grading larch (Larix deciduaMill.) timber from Italian and French Alps, that can now be graded for structural use and CE marked according to EN 14081-1. In particular it reports the differences registered between visual and machine grading on 261 larch ...

Using machine learning to assess human writing is both an interesting challenge and can potentially make quality education more accessable. Using a dataset of essays written for standardized tests, we trained different models using word features, per-essay statistics, and metrics of similarity and coherence between essays and documents. Within a single prompt, the models are able to make predic...

Over the last two years, Massive Open Online Classes (MOOCs) have been unexpectedly successful in convincing large number of students to pursue online courses in a variety of domains.

The purpose of this study was to determine if this CT grading system has high interobserver and intraobserver agreement. MATERIALS AND METHODS All 997 petrous bone CTs performed between December 2000 and September 2007 were reviewed. A total of 81 subjects had CT evidence of otosclerosis ...

n An), and |a| ∈ Z denotes the grading. The bracket and differential are required to respect the grading, in that for homogeneous elements, |[a, b]| = |a| + |b| while |∂a| = |a| − 1. The adjoint action of A on itself is given by ade(a) = [e, a] and acts on the grading by ade : An−→An+|e|. In this notation (2) and (3) can be rewritten as • (2) (Jacobi identity) ad[a,b] = [ada, adb] • (3) (Leibni...

Since its initial description in 1966 by Dr Donald Gleason, Gleason grading has become the cornerstone in the management of prostate cancer (PCa). With widespread use of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) screening and needle core biopsy, the diagnosis and management of PCa have dramatically evolved. In addition, better understanding of the morphological spectrum of prostate cancer and its clinica...
