SHYSTER and the Calculation of Distance between Cases

چکیده

The SHYSTER project is concerned with the development of a hybrid legal expert system. The case-based part of SHYSTER chooses the cases upon which to base its opinion by measuring the similarity between previously-decided cases and the case in question. Statisticians make use of many di erent similarity measures, however|for SHYSTER|each of the commonly used similarity measures reduces to one of three measures. These measures can be weighted so that some facts in the cases can be given more importance than others. SHYSTER uses one of these weighted measures (a distance measure) to construct it opinion. Early testing shows that SHYSTER's approach to nding the distance between cases allows it to produce useful advice. Further testing will attempt to validate this approach empirically. CR

SHYSTER and the Authorization of Copyright Infringement

The SHYSTER project is concerned with the development of a hybrid legal expert system: one which uses rule-based techniques to represent statute law and case-based techniques to represent case law. A prototype has been developed, implementing the case-based part of SHYSTER. This prototype allows a legal expert to specify an area of case law using a specially-developed case law speci cation lang...

Pressure Calculation in the Flow Between Two Rotating Eccentric Cylinders at High Renolds Numbers

This paper reports the result of an analytical investigation of a steady, incompressible and viscous flow between two eccentric, rotating cylinders at high Reynolds number. A one dimensional case is far from reality because the gap between the cylinders is very small. Further, when their axes are displaced by a small distance, usually caused by bearing loads, two dimensional effects become obvi...

Structural Relationship Between Randić Indices, Adjacency, Distance Matrixes and Molar Absorption Coefficient of Linear Conjugated Polyene Compounds

One of the useful indices in molecular topology is Randić index. The alternative double bonds andconjugation in the polyene compounds are one of the main properties in these compounds. Someof the molecular orbital and structural properties refer to this specialty, such as: molar absorptioncoefficient (εmax) , electrical conductivity and difference energy level of the HOMO and LUMOorbitals, etc....

Calculation of air gaps between bolus and skin on the dose received from the skin

    Introduction: In the last few decades, a lot of monte carlo codes have been introduced for medical applications. For close - to - surface tumors, the surface of the skin can be used to increase the surface dose so that all or part of the bunch area can fall into bolus, thereby increasing the dose of the skin. The air gaps between bolus and skin can affect the dose of...

Experimental evaluation of midline dose calculation methods in In vivo dosimetry using anatomic thorax phantom

Background: In vivo dosimetry is a method for estimation of overall error in the delivered dose to the patients at the end of radiotherapy process. In this research, two methods for target dose calculation were evaluated on midline and central axis of photon beams in in vivo dosimetry of thorax fields. Materials and Methods: Entrance and exit doses for anterior and lateral fields of thorax were...
