The Sixth World Confer ence on Lung Cancer was held in Melbourne, Australia, 10-14 November 1991, in the well-equipped World Conference Center, by the river Yarra. About 1,000 par ticipants came from all over the world, and almost 700 a bstracts were presented. The scientific and the social programme were both extremely stimulating and perfectly organized, thanks to D. Ball and the organizing c...

This report is one of five reports that were based on the MINDS workshops, led by Donna Harman (NIST) and sponsored by Heather McCallum-Bayliss of the Disruptive Technology Office of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's Office of Science and Technology (ODNI/ADDNI/S&T/DTO).

Surface water–groundwater exchange affects the material and energy transfer of rivers adjacent riparian zones. As an intuitive carrier energy, temperature can effectively reflect spatial temporal variation surface process. In this paper, influence water head sand sample uniformity on its field seepage is studied through a one-dimensional column laboratory test. To verify accuracy vertical heat ...

as a result of rule of law ideal, judges are required to act in accordance with laws. the ideal is justified by some political values: political liberty, legal liberty , personal liberty and equality. citizens are subject only to the law not to the arbitrary will or judgment of another who wields coercive government power. but in some cases law is indeterminate. in these cases there is an impor...

Structured Prediction Energy Networks (Belanger & McCallum, 2016) (SPENs) are a simple, yet expressive family of structured prediction models. An energy function over candidate structured outputs is given by a deep network, and predictions are formed by gradient-based optimization. Unfortunately, we have struggled to apply the structured SVM (SSVM) learning method of Belanger & McCallum (2016) ...

Phase contrast in X-ray imaging provides lower radiation dose, and dramatically higher contrast at multi-keV photon energies when compared with absorption contrast. We describe here the use of a segmented detector in a scanning transmission X-ray microscope to collect partially coherent bright field images. We have adapted a Fourier filter reconstruction technique developed by McCallum, Landaue...
