In our effort to develop a modular neural system for invariant learning and recognition of 3D objects, we introduce here a new module architecture called an aspect network constructed around adaptive axo-axo-dendritic synapses. This builds upon our existing system (Seibert & Waxman, 1989) which processes 20 shapes and classifies t.hem into view categories (i.e ., aspects) invariant to illuminat...

PROBLEM Implantation failure is common in women with advanced maternal age, partly because of the increased number of aneuploid embryos. These women constitute the majority of patients for IVF treatment. As multiple pregnancies is a major hazard of preterm delivery, the aim is to select a competent embryo for single transfer. This study reviews currently used methods for selecting the competent...

case: A 3.5-year-old girl presented with a 1-year history of a slow growing pigmented lesion on the dorsal aspect of her right foot. Physical examination revealed the presence of a pigmented patch with color distribution from pink to tan to dark brown, relatively well circumscribed and approximately 1.5 × 2cm with irregular borders, and especially a single dark central papule superimposed...

Text is the main method of communicating information in the digital age. Messages, blogs, news articles, reviews, and opinionated information abounds on the Internet. People commonly purchase products online and post their opinions about purchased items. This feedback is displayed publicly to assist others with their purchasing decisions, creating the need for a mechanism with which to extract ...

This position paper presents a concept for aspect-oriented design and a seamless integration of AO design and implementation. We suggest a design notation based on standard UML which separates clearly the reusable programming language independent design of aspect code and base (business logic) code from the language dependant cross-cutting parts. Thus fostering reuse of aspect code and simplify...

Modern etiopathogenic and diagnostic procedures of oral diseases are founded on molecular biology, genetic engineering, autoimmunity, pathohistological, cytological and immunofluorescence methods. The autoimmune processes may include the humoral and cellular immune responses and all organ systems may be involved. The systematic and orofacial manifestations of the scleroderma with medical and pa...

Aspect mining aims at identifying, analysing, and refactoring crosscutting concerns throughout a legacy system for the purpose of improving software modularisation. This paper presents our investigation into raising the benefits of aspect mining to high-level domain-specific models. A key contribution is the capability to identify crosscutting concerns early in development, which will assist in...

The CASK method (Computer-aided Acquisition of Semantic Knowledge) is being used at CELTA with the SEMANA (SEMantic ANAlyser) software, which was especially designed for this purpose. We use the notation of semantic feature structures as a meta-language for describing the category of aspect in Polish regardless of its pertaining to various levels of expression (morphological, syntactical or lex...

emphasis on sustainable agriculture in iran like the other developing countries, is responsedto the adverse environmental and economic impacts of conventional agriculture. thisproblem, particularly about “greenhouse production” is considerable. the perceptions ofgreenhouse owners about the environmental, economical and social aspects of sustainableagriculture was discussed in this article. the ...
