This paper presents the impact of using quantization on efficiency multi-class text classification in training process a support vector machine (SVM). work is focused comparing SVM model trained reduced precision with its original form. The main advantage decrease computation time and memory footprint dedicated hardware platform which supports low like GPU (16-bit) or FPGA (any bit-width). redu...

purpose: to compare the results of two different methods of frontalis suspension using fascia lata in congenital ptosis. methods: in a randomized clinical trial, double triangle sling was compared with single triangle sling using fascia lata. eight patients with unilateral and 11 patients with bilateral congenital ptosis were randomly assigned for each procedure. results: there was no statistic...

introduction to evaluate the expression patterns of cytokeratin (k) 12, 13, and 19 in normal epithelium of the human ocular surface to determine whether k13 could be used as a marker for conjunctival epithelium. methods: total rna was isolated from the human conjunctiva and central cornea. those transcripts that had threefolds or higher expression levels in the conjunctiva than the cornea were ...

The effect of single and double-layer anti-reflective coatings on efficiency enhancement of silicon solar cells was investigated. The reflectance of different anti-reflection structures were calculated using the transfer matrix method and then to predict the performance of solar cells coated by these structures, the weighted average reflectance curves were used as an input of a PC1D simulation....

Between January 1982 and January 1999, 684 patients presented with a fracture of the clavicle to the accident and emergency departments of the Tamside and Bury District General Hospitals. Twenty patients (3%) subsequently developed symptomatic nonunion of the clavicle. The original injury resulted from a road traffic accident in 13 patients, from a fall on an outstretched hand in five patients,...

Order statistics arising from exponentiated gamma (EG) distribution are considered. Closed from expressions for the single and double moments of order statistics are derived. Measures of skewness and kurtosis of the probability density function of the rth order statistic for different choices of r, n and /theta are presented. Recurrence relations between single and double moments of r...

A novel method of library construction that takes advantage of a single-stranded DNA ligase has been recently described and used to generate high-resolution genomes from ancient DNA samples. While this method is effective and appears to recover a greater fraction of endogenous ancient material, there has been no direct comparison of results from different library construction methods on a diver...
