Objective. To study the correlation of cytomorphological Robinson's grading for breast cancers with a modified Bloom-Richardson histopathological grading. Materials and Methods. One hundred sixteen cytologically malignant breast tumour cases were included in this study and correlated with paraffin embedded sections. Breast lumps were varied from less than 1 cm to 11 cm in greatest dimension. FN...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Automated grading software has the potential to reduce the manual grading workload within diabetic retinopathy screening programmes. This audit was undertaken at the request of Scotland's National Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Collaborative to assess whether the introduction of automated grading software into the national screening programme would be safe, robust and effective....

With the popularity of massive open online courses (MOOCs), grading through crowdsourcing has become a prevalent approach towards large scale classes. However, for getting grades for complex tasks, which require specific skills and efforts for grading, crowdsourcing encounters a restriction of insufficient knowledge of the workers from the crowd. Due to knowledge limitation of the crowd graders...

AIM To use previously validated image analysis techniques to determine the incremental nature of printed subjective anterior eye grading scales. METHODS A purpose designed computer program was written to detect edges using a 3 x 3 kernal and to extract colour planes in the selected area of an image. Annunziato and Efron pictorial, and CCLRU and Vistakon-Synoptik photographic grades of bulbar ...

Histopathologic grading of astrocytic tumors based on current WHO criteria offers a valuable but simplified representation of oncologic reality and is often insufficient to predict clinical outcome. In this study, we report a new astrocytic tumor microarray gene expression data set (n = 65). We have used a simple artificial neural network algorithm to address grading of human astrocytic tumors,...

Aim: To use previously validated image analysis techniques to determine the incremental nature of printed subjective anterior eye grading scales. Methods: A purpose designed computer program was written to detect edges using a 363 kernal and to extract colour planes in the selected area of an image. Annunziato and Efron pictorial, and CCLRU and Vistakon-Synoptik photographic grades of bulbar hy...

Peer grading systems work well only if users have incentives to grade truthfully. An example of nontruthful grading, that we observed in classrooms, consists in students assigning the maximum grade to all submissions. With a naive grading scheme, such as averaging the assigned grades, all students would receive the maximum grade. In this paper, we develop three grading schemes that provide ince...

PATIENTS AND METHOD During a period of 15 years we investigated 200 patients suspected of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) by means of an intrathecal infusion test. In 107 patients (54%) the diagnosis of a normal pressure hydrocephalus could be confirmed. For the evaluation of the course of disease we used the Black-Grading-Scale for shunt assessment [1] and the clinical grading for chronic ...

In this paper, a defect grading method for digital radiographic images from CMOS x-ray linear array detector was put forward, which is based on a standard defect-grading comparison sample and a computer-aided defect interpretation method. A standard defect-grading comparison sample was designed and used to help measuring the distortion and magnification of the images, and to grade the defects i...

We demonstrate advantages of non-standard grading for computing cohomology of restricted Hamiltonian and Poisson algebras. These algebras contain the inner grading element in the properly defined symmetric grading compatible with the symplectic structure. Using modulo p analog of the theorem on the structure of cohomology of Lie algebra with inner grading element, we show that all nontrivial co...
