Learning differential diagnosis of erythemato-squamous diseases using voting feature intervals

Cataloged from PDF version of article.A new classification algorithm, called VFI5 (for Voting Feature Intervals), is developed and applied to problem of differential diagnosis of erythemato-squamous diseases. The domain contains records of patients with known diagnosis. Given a training set of such records, the VFI5 classifier learns how to differentiate a new case in the domain. VFI5 represents a concept in the form of feature intervals on each feature dimension separately. classification in the VFI5 algorithm is based on a real-valued voting. Each feature equally participates in the voting process and the class that receives the maximum amount of votes is declared to be the predicted class. The performance of the VFI5 classifier is evaluated empirically in terms of classification accuracy and running time. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

Blast Theory’s Karen: exploring the ontology of technotexts

The continual and rapid emergence of media technologies predominantly since the digital revolution in the late twentieth century has generated a new social, cultural and cognitive ecology. This new environment has shaped the landscape of contemporary theatre and performance, and has brought about new modes such as virtual theatre, multimedia performance and online theatre. These emerging performative responses to the mediatised ecology have heralded transformations in directing, performing and design, and, relatedly, a paradigm shift in the ontology of theatre and performance. The textual dimension of theatre – a strong aspect of British theatre tradition that is mostly associated with playtexts - has also adapted to the changing performance landscape. As a result of this adaptation process, new modes of texts have emerged. The texts that have emerged from practices, whose design and performance are partially or completely based on new technologies and their aesthetics, can be considered in this group. This article is an experiment in forging a vocabulary to identify such texts, which it presents as technotexts, and explore some of their ontological characteristics. It offers an attempt to start a conversation about the changing ontology of text in mediatised theatre practice. To this end, I investigate Blast Theory’s Karen (2015), a smart phone app-based, interactive performance, which illustrates an inventive textual landscape through multiple layers of writing, and invites questions regarding the changing form and role of text as a process and product in relation to performance, authorship and spectatorship, and textual object/archive

MODELING PERMEATION OF MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE GAS-MIXTURES THROUGH A LOW-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE PACKAGE FILM

Permeation of individual gases through a low density polyethylene package film with CO2-N2 and CO2-O2-N2 mixtures was simulated with a simple mathematical model. Permeabilities of carbon dioxide were of the order of 10(-12) m3/s m2atm/m with CO2-N2 systems. Including oxygen in the system did not change carbon dioxide permeabilities. Permeabilities of oxygen were of the order of magnitude of 10(-9) m3/s m2atm/m with this system. When a CO2-O2-N2 mixture was humidified no substantial change was observed in CO2 permeability, but the O2 permeability decreased almost 10 times. These results and the mathematical model presented may help in the modified atmosphere package design to increase the shelf life of produce

The fully substituted phosphazene (6) was also obtained from the reaction of 5 with the excess of pyrrolidine. Compounds (4-8) have been characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR, H-1-, C-13-, P-31-NMR, HETCOR, COSY and MS. The structure of crypta-phosphazene, 8, has been examined crystallographically. Compound 8 is the first example of the crypta-phosphazene derivatives. The P-31-NMR spectra of compounds 7 and 8 indicate that, both of the compounds have anisochronism because of the stereogenic centers. The pyramidal geometry of two spiro-cyclic nitrogen atoms in compound 8, gives rise to stereogenic property. The sums of the bond angles around N-4 and N-5 nitrogens are 350.6(2) and 349.6(3)degrees, respectively. Compound 8 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P (1) over bar with a = 8.798(3), b = 10.498(3) and c = 15.689(4) Angstrom; alpha = 91.35(2), beta = 103.39(4) and gamma = 102.88(4)degrees; V = 1369.9(7) Angstrom(3), Z = 2 and D-x = 1.491 g cm(-3).
