Recently, datasets with various factors and indicators of cognitive diseases have been available for clinical research. Although the transformation information to a particular data model is straightforward, many challenges arise if from different repositories be integrated. Since each source keeps entities names relationships at levels granularity format, can partially lost or not properly pres...

introduction: oral diseases are the most prevalent diseases probable at any age. they are chronic in nature and expensive to care.  accurate, comprehensive, well-structured, well-managed data is required to control and prevent oral diseases, clinical audit, quality of patient care, and administrative, financial, research and legal goals fulfillment we need. in dentistry, data collection would p...

Statistical disclosure limitation is widely used by data collecting institutions to provide safe individual data. However, the choice of the disclosure limitation method severely affects the quality of the data. In particular, estimators for nonlinear models based on data which are masked by standard disclosure limitation techniques such as blanking or noise addition lead to inconsistent parame...

In this paper new and innovative techniques during the commissioning phase of TanDEM-X will be presented that are firstly demonstrated on a satellite platform. The focus is on the secondary goals of TanDEM-X that are assigned for the third year of the mission time life due to the tight schedule for the acquisition of the highly accurate global digital elevation model. Therefore, a variety of sc...

While temporal behavioral patterns can be discerned to underlie real crowd work, prior studies have typically modeled worker performance under a simplified i.i.d. assumption. To better model such temporal worker behavior, we propose a time-series label prediction model for crowd work. This latent variable model captures and summarizes past worker behavior, enabling us to better predict the qual...

For over 20 years, color appearance models have evolved to the point of international standardization. These models are capable of predicting the appearance of spatially-simple color stimuli under a wide variety viewing conditions and have been applied to images by treating each pixel as an independent stimulus. It has been more recently recognized that revolutionary advances in color appearanc...
