The College awards its highest accolade once a year, when appropriate, in recognition of lifetime achievement and singular contribution to the field. This award, the Morris F. ...

Wavelet theory is one the greatest achievement of last decade. Wavelet theory has gained popularity in solving difficult problems in mathematics, engineering etc. It can be employed in lots of fields and applications, such as signal processing, image analysis, communication systems, time frequency analysis, image compression, smoothing and image denoising , pattern recognition, finger print ver...

Nurses’ job satisfaction is a topic of wide interest, because it is an important determinant of their performance and the delivery of health care (1, 2). The job satisfaction has been conceptualised of intrinsic factors including personality, personal achievement, sense of accomplishment, prestige and extrinsic factors likewise working conditions, workload, relationships with colleagues, remune...

Artificial abrasion of interproximal surfaces has been described for almost seventy years as orthodontic intervention for achievement and maintenance of ideal treatment outcome. A variety of terms and approaches have been introduced throughout this period implying a growing clinicians' interest. Nevertheless, the widespread recognition of enamel stripping technique was initiated by the advent o...

In very large vocabulary speech recognition systems using the hypothesis-verification paradigm, the verification stage is usually the most time consuming. State of the art systems combine fixed size hypothesized search spaces with advanced pruning techniques. In this paper we propose a novel strategy to dynamically calculate the hypothesized search space, using neural networks as the estimation...

Individuals with upper-limb amputations may currently use artificial limbs controlled with signals from their residual muscles. Pattern recognition, one type of advanced control, uses the patterns produced by several muscles to control prosthesis movements. This article describes a new way to test this control by using a virtual environment performance test called the Target Achievement Control...

This paper presents a hybrid approach to the verification of statements about historical facts. The test data was collected from the world history examinations in a standardized achievement test for high school students. The data includes various kinds of false statements that were carefully written so as to deceive the students while they can be disproven on the basis of the teaching materials...
