ophthalmic equipment, including surgical instruments and diagnostic devices, can be compared to the maintenance of a motor vehicle, something many of us understand well. If you had a car, would you drive it until the fuel runs out or until a tyre punctures, and then abandon it to buy a new car? Of course not. However, many eye care units purchase (or receive as a donation) expensive and delicat...

Measuring airways in chest computed tomography (CT) images is important for characterizing diseases such as cystic fibrosis, yet very time-consuming to perform manually. Machine learning algorithms offer an alternative, but need large sets of annotated data to perform well. We investigate whether crowdsourcing can be used to gather airway annotations which can serve directly for measuring the a...

Existing conflict detection methods for CSP’s such as [de Kleer, 1989; Ginsberg, 1993] cannot make use of powerful propagation which makes them unusable for complex real-world problems. On the other hand, powerful constraint propagation methods lack the ability to extract dependencies or conflicts, which makes them unusable for many advanced AI reasoning methods that require conflicts, as well ...

Every year lots of black tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze) residue will produce in the factories. These residue are unusable whereas the bio active compounds can be extracted and used in the drag and food industries. Due to mentioned problems, this project was conducted years 2011 - 2012 with the aim to make a study on consecutive isolation of all bio active compounds from tea residu...

Abstract The main vulnerability models available in the literature aim to develop damage fragility curves estimate level suffered by a building after seismic event. However, recent earthquakes have highlighted great importance of predicting usability residential buildings, i.e. condition being habitable or occupiable performance can be used as an indicator for allocating economic funding event ...

The less polar fractions of the extract of the aerial parts of Jurinea leptoloba afforded two new elemanolides. The structures were elucidated by high field NMR techniques
