Traditionally, Bayes factors, posterior odds and posterior model probabilities are used in Bayesian model selection. This approach has, however, the problem that the conclusions are often too sensitive to prior specifications. Another approach is to use discrepancy measures in model comparison and posterior predictive checks in the assesment of model adequecy. These approaches are briefly summa...

This review paper contains selected aspects of Sjögren's syndrome. It consists of epidemiology, ultrasound of salivary glands and antimuscarinic antibodies. The first part present studies aimed to determine the prevalence and the incidence of the disease with special emphasize on epidemiological studies performed in Slovenia. This is followed by the demonstration of the role of ultrasound of sa...

Currently, connectedness assesment is primarily done through questionnaires. Although questionnaires are good for tapping into the user experience, they also have drawbacks, like memory biases, proneness to social masking, and lack of mental access. Now that sophisticated sensors are becoming cheaper, less obtrusive, and more widely available, this opens doors to more objective continuous measu...

Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) are disorders pertaining to the face and mouth and may affect, directly and indirectly, chewing1, swallowing2, 3, speech4, 5, 6, occlusion7, 8, 9, 10, temporomandibular joint movement11, 12, oral hygiene13, 14, stability of orthodontic treatment15, 16, 8, 17, facial esthetics18, 9, and facial skeletal growth19, 20.

Background: Martin-Gruber anastomosis (MGA) is the well known anostomosis that occur at the various levels between the median and ulnar nerves. This anastomosis involves axons leaving either the main trunk of median nerve or the anterior interosseous nerve, crossing through the forearm to join the ulnar nerve. Knowledge of the incidence of this anastomosis is necessary because MGA can cause con...

The main purpose of this work is to explore the application of Memory Based Reasoning (MBR) to adaptive behavior in agents. We discuss the design of an interface agent for e-mail management assistance as a prototype for the experimental assesment of an MBR learning algorithm performance. Results are discussed and a brief summary of conclusions follows, as well as a sketch of future work to be d...

Analysis of hand kinematics is important in several application areas, such as rehabilitation, sports and ergonomics. In particular, ambulatory tracking of the whole hand configuration is valuable for kinematic assessment under daily life conditions. Current instrumented glove systems primary use resistive, magnetic or optical sensing methods [1]. A common drawback of these systems is that the ...
