introduction: polymer gels are modern dosimeters providing three dimensional dose distributions. these dosimeters can be used in brachytherapy in which the tumor dimension is relatively small and the dose gradient is high. in this study, the ability of the magica polymer gel was investigated for assessing the absolute dose values as well as the dose distribution of low dose rate (ldr) ir-192 wi...

The decline in Avoidable Mortality (AM) and increase in life expectancy in Shanghai is impressive. Gusmano and colleagues suggested that Shanghai’s improved health system has contributed significantly to this decline in AM. However, when compared to other global cities, Shanghai’s life expectancy at birth is improving as London and New York City, but has yet to surpass that of Hong Kong, Tokyo,...

This paper presents an inferential system based on abductive interpretation of text. Inference to the best explanation is performed by the recognition of the most economic semantic paths produced by the propagation of markers on a very large linguistic knowledge base. The propagation of markers is controlled by their intrinsic propagation rules, devised from plausible semantic relation chains. ...

Je vous le recommande : impact de l'intéressement aux bénéfices sur la pertinence des recommandations en ligne Abstract Recommender systems are commonly used by Internet firms to improve consumers' shopping experience and increase firm sales and profits. A large stream of work on recommender design has studied the problem of identifying the most relevant items to recommend to users. In parallel...

This thesis deals with statistical questions raised by the analysis of highdimensional genomic data for cancer research. In the first part, we study asymptotic properties of multiple testing procedures that aim at controlling the False Discovery Rate (FDR), that is, the expected False Discovery Proportion (FDP) among rejected hypotheses. We develop a versatile formalism to calculate the asympto...

We discuss the system of Fokker-Planck and Hamilton-JacobiBellman equations arising from the finite horizon control of McKean-Vlasov dynamics. We give examples of existence and uniqueness results. Finally, we propose some simple models for the motion of pedestrians and report about numerical simulations in which we compare mean filed games and mean field type control.
