Caused by powerful sensors, advanced digitalisation techniques, and dramatically increased storage capabilities, big data in the sense of large or streaming data sets, very high dimensionality, or complex data formats constitute one of the major challenges faced by machine learning today. In this realm, a couple of typical assumptions of machine learning can no longer be met, such as e.g. the p...

One of the main advantages of document digitalisation is the improvement of processing and research. Structured documents contents can be stored in a database management system (DBMS) for efficient processing independently of the original format. Statistical tables, which are highly structured, multidimensional and evolving are such documents. Extracting high volume of statistical data and inte...

First cousins, related through their mothers, showed a pattern of craniofacial, brain, and limb anomalies consistent with the acrocallosal syndrome. Both patients had a defect of the corpus callosum, macrocephaly with a protruding forehead and occiput, hypertelorism, non-horizontal palpebral fissures, a small nose, notched ear lobes, and postaxial polydactyly of the hands. The boy, in addition,...

Information overflow is one of the downsides that digitalisation brought with it. This obvious fact also applies to the field of e-learning. For this reason, concepts and systems supporting learners in handling the enormous amount of information – such as personal learning environments – have recently gained more attention. It gets more and more important to offer individual capabilities to sto...

In this paper we describe an augmented reality tool for collaborative work called the MagicBoard. The MagicBoard is based on a ordinary white board which has been enhanced by a video projector and a steerable camera. A supervisor coordinates the cooperation of several modules including gesture recognition, nger tracking and white board scanning for digitalisation of the content. The gesture rec...

Currently, a great effort is being carried out in the digitalisation of large historical document collections for preservation purposes. The documents in these collections are usually written in ancient languages, such as Latin or Greek, which limits the access of the general public to their content due to the language barrier. Therefore, digital libraries aim not only at storing raw images of ...

For the production in an e-business environment digitalisation of economy requires an excellent coordination in virtual customer-related organisations. The efficiency depends on the competence to integrate knowledge into processes. Therewith the value of products and production in an information age society is based on the value of knowledge. The effects of this development can be seen in innov...

Web 2.0 has expanded the possibilities of digital creative production by individuals and enabled the digitalisation of private life experiences. This study analyses how social media contributes to the making of personal biographies and discusses the shift towards a culture of digital exposure. This study uses netnography and a constructive approach to examine online communities and social netwo...

A consecutive series of 86 patients with an inverted T wave showing terminal positivity (overshoot) of a specific pattern in the resting electrocardiogram were studied. Patients with bundle branch block or electrocardiographic evidence of acute infarction and those taking digoxin or a similar drug were excluded. In 67 patients the heart was examined by echocardiography and in a further two by d...

We present new methods to optimise industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning process. The methods were applied on CT systems— with high-energy X-ray tube sources (.400 keV)—using cross-sectional images for volume digitalisation. Commonly the distances between all cross-sectional slices for volume data acquiring are constant. We developed a new adaptive CT scanning method, which optimises the...
