of the most visible successes of AI to date. Knowledge acquisition is the main bottleneck in the knowledge engineer’s work. Machine-learning tools have contributed positively to the process of trying to eliminate or open up this bottleneck, but how do we know whether the field is progressing? How can we determine the progress made in any of its branches? How can we be sure of an advance and tak...

One of the major attractions of introducing electronic technology in education has been that of providing individualized instruction. However, it has proved very difficult to obtain a representation of each student's inferred knowledge state on which to base such individualization. In this paper we present Kelly's personal construct psychology as a framework for the analysis of the educational ...

The field of knowledge engineering has been one of the most visible successes of artificial intelligence (AI) to date. Knowledge acquisition (KA) is the main bottleneck in the knowledge engineer's (KE) work. Machine learning (ML) tools have contributed positively to the process of trying to eliminate or open up this bottleneck. But how do we know whether the field is progressing? How can we est...

PURPOSE To establish a correlation between testicular position and fetal weight, in order to provide an additional prenatal parameter for fetal weight estimation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 288 testes from 144 human fetuses. The fetuses were assessed as regards weight, total length, crown-rump length and foot length. Fetal age was calculated according to the foot length criteria. The po...

STRUCTURED ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To emphasize the importance of troponin in the context of a new score for risk stratifying acute coronary syndromes (ACS) patients. Although troponins have powerful prognostic value, current ACS scores do not fully capitalize this prognostic ability. Here, we weigh troponin status in a multiplicative manner to develop the TRACS score from previously published Ru...
