Uncontrolled variables often limit meaningful assessment of visual sensitivity. Previously, we developed a procedure and apparatus for in vivo assessment of light absorption by the human lens. In the current study, we modified a widely used automated perimeter to include our procedure for obtaining an index of lens density. Nineteen individuals were tested on both the original apparatus and the...

Abstract Cargo ships navigating global waters are required to be sufficiently safe and compliant with international treaties. Governmental inspectorates currently assess in a rule-based manner whether ship is potentially noncompliant thus needs inspection. One of the dominant characteristics this assessment ‘colour’ flag flying, where countries positive reputation have so-called ‘white flag’. T...

modern computerized technology enables more complex visual stimuli and test procedures to be in-corporated into conventional perimetry resulting in several developments in automated perimetry that have contributed to more efficient diagnosis and management of eye diseases. this review will cover a number of advances in automated perimetry including frequency doubling technology perimetry, short...

A survey of major systems for the automated assessment of free text answers is presented. This includes the Project Essay Grade (PEG), Intelligent Essay Assessor (IEA) which employs Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), and Electronic Essay Rater (e-rater). All these systems have the same weakness in that they are unable to perform any assessment of text content. The word order is not taken into acco...

As student numbers continue to increase, automated assessment is an inevitable element of programming education in university contexts. Modularity is a key factor in ensuring these systems are flexible, robust, secure, scalable, extensible, and maintainable. Yet, modularity has not been explicitly and systematically discussed in this field. In this paper, we first present an overview of the mod...

Automated Essay Grading (AEG) technology has been maturing over the final decades of the last century to the point where it is now poised to permit a transition in ‘assessment-thinking’. The administrative convenience of using objective testing to attempt to assess deep learning, learning at the conceptual level, has now been obviated by efficient and effective automated means to assess student...
