Training: intractable likelihood likelihood needed for MCMC; grid MRF intractable due to global normalization. Solution: pseudo-likelihood approximation, locally normalized: p(y|f) = ∏P p=1 p(yp|yp+1 . . . yP , f) ≈ ∏P p=1 p(yp|neighbours(p), f) Prediction: intractable marginals Pixel-wise MAP intractable in grid MRF. Solution: Obtain approximate marginals using treereweighted belief propagatio...

PURPOSE Downstaging after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for rectal cancer usually occurs. The present study aimed to evaluate pathologic y-stage (yp-stage) and its influence on local recurrence and systemic recurrence in rectal cancer patients treated with CRT followed by surgical resection. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 261 patients underwent preoperative CRT and radical resection for rectal...

one of the possible ways to ensure future food needs of an increasing world population involves the better water use through the development of crop varieties which need less water and are more tolerant to drought. in order to study the response of twenty landraces of bread wheat to drought stress, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications under t...

As one of the fast-growth wood species, hybrid yellow poplar (YP-h, Liriodendron sino-americanum) has been extensively planted throughout China, however, little is known about its properties and applicability in structural nonstructural applications such as construction furniture. The aim this study was to evaluate YP-h examine differences with (YP, tulipifera). average vessel diameter (55 μm)...
