Ultrasound examination is a routine examination, non–invasive, low cost and technically easy to achieve. Ultrasound examination marked a hitch leap in the diagnosis of diseases of the biliary tract and gallbladder. As a harmless examination for the health and with a high specificity on diagnosis, this examination has left almost in the past the time of conventional radiologic examinations l ike...

Nowdays image processing is facing many challengig questions. Often these problems have natural formulation and nd theoretical and numerical solutions in the framework of modern calculus of variations. Some recent models and theorems related to image segmentation are discussed.

In this paper we overview the pricing of several so-called exotic options in the nowdays quite popular exponential Lévy models. K.U.Leuven, U.C.S., W. De Croylaan 54, B-3001 Leuven, Belgium. Email: [email protected]

Wiegman and Shappel (26) described years ago a practical and comprehensive model of human factors which can be applied to every accident. The so named HFACS or Human factors Accident Classification System model followed the causative models described by previously by Reason (17) and later by AGARD WG-23 (19). Nowdays it constitues a handy taxonomical tool to identify and determine causal facts ...

Fully parallel stochastic neural network implementations can be realized nowdays. However, in these implementations most of the silicon area is consumed in the stochastic pulse sequence generation circuits. In order to improve their efficiency in terms of consumed silicon area, new techniques must be developped. This is specially important in applications where a large number of synaptic weight...

Nowdays there is an increasing requirement for magnetic devices with improved sensitivity and resolution, trying to keep as low as possible their cost and power consumption. Additionally there is the need to develop compact devices with several sensors able to measure different parameters including magnetic field, pressure, temperature, acceleration. In this way a multifunctional device could b...

Model transformation and semantic mapping are enabling technologies for new, advanced solutions to address enterprise software interoperability. Such technlogies are nowdays tackled by two different disciplines: software architectures, with the MDA approach, and semantic interoperability, with an ontology-based approach. This paper briefly compares the model-based (MB) and the ontology-based (O...

At the time when employees nowdays represent an important resource in achieving business success, there is an increasing focus on the process of recruitment and selection of personnel, because every company seeks to fill a vacant position with the best candidates, ie. those who best meet the requirements of the job. Therefore, this paper will propose an MCDM approach to the recruitment and sele...
