Hybrid contact force ablation: best of both worlds?

Hybrid contact force ablation: best of both worlds?

tion of the pulmonary vein ostia plays a major role, as the goal in eliminating AF signals is to produce a lesion that spans the full thickness of the tissue. The Achilles' heel of the technique is that it was soon recognised that early PV reconnection may occur after ablation [6]. Yokoyama's group [7] was the first to describe an important link between the tissue contact force (CF) of the cath...

Hybrid Example-Based SMT: the Best of Both Worlds?

(Way and Gough, 2005) provide an indepth comparison of their Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT) system with a Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) system constructed from freely available tools. According to a wide variety of automatic evaluation metrics, they demonstrated that their EBMT system outperformed the SMT system by a factor of two to one. Nevertheless, they did not test their ...

The Best of Both Worlds

Open networks give actors non-redundant information that is diverse, while closed networks offer redundant information that is easier to interpret. Integrating arguments about network structure and the similarity of actors' knowledge, we propose two types of network configurations that combine diversity and ease of interpretation. Closed-diverse networks offer diversity in actors' knowledge dom...
