The use of additional noise in reinforcement training of probabilistic RAMS (pRAMs) is analysed in the context of pattern recognition. Both simulations and analysis indicate the effectiveness of the approach.

OBJECTIVE To correlate the different non masslike enhancement categories detected by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the corresponding histological findings. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two experienced radiologists reviewed the MRI examinations of 94 patients presenting non mass-like enhancements who had performed histological evaluation. According to the BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and D...

D raw a line down the Shannon, bend and extend it to the north east to include Longford and the Ulster counties, add Kerry and perhaps West Cork, and one obtains the traditional dividing line of Ireland. "The West", the counties to the west and north of the line, are poor, if one is thinking in social terms, or under­ developed, if one is thinking in economic terms. B y implication, the countie...

BACKGROUND Oral cancer varies globally and regionally, and is closely linked with geographical, social, economical, biological, ethnic, dietary and environmental factors. In western countries it accounts for about 2-5% while in the south-east Asia for about 40% of all cancers. In Pakistan it is second commonest tumour after bronchogenic carcinoma in males and breast carcinoma in females. The ob...

The combination of remote imagery data, geographic information systems software, and landscape ecology theory provides a unique basis for monitoring and assessing large-scale ecological systems. The unique feature of the work has been the need to develop and interpret quantitative measures of spatial pattern—the landscape indices. This article reviews what is known about the statistical propert...

The aim of this paper was to analyze the regional pattern of physical inactivity in Croatia based on the Croatian Adult Health Survey 2003 data. A total of 9,070 adult respondents were included in this study. In men, the highest prevalence of physical inactivity was recorded in the City of Zagreb (39.6%), and it was significantly higher than in Central (25.6%), Coastal (25.6%) and Mountainous r...

The aim of this paper was to investigate the regional smoking pattern in Croatia. The data from the Croatian Adult Health Survey from 2003 were used for the study (N = 9,070). The results of this study suggest that the prevalence of smoking among men was the highest in the Eastern parts of the country, followed by the Mountainous region. In contrast, the prevalence of smoking among women was th...

Regional differentiation based on size, form, and orientation angle of the soma of individual neurons in human post-mortem hippocampus was determined through correlations between pairs of hippocampal subfields in each side separately. The neurons were previously measured on a computer. In the normal cases, a left-right asymmetrical pattern of regional differentiation based on soma size emerged,...
