We analyzed the data of a controlled clinical study of the chronic wound healing acceleration as a result of electrical stimulation. The study involved a conventional conservative treatment, sham treatment, biphasic pulsed current, and direct current electrical stimulation. Data was collected over 10 years and suffices for an analysis with machine learning methods. So far, only a limited number...

Our research explores the application of Inductive Logic Programming to a new domain involving decapod crustacean claws. We find that we can distinguish dactyl shapes by automatically extracting relational features that describe their underlying spatial structure. We first use medial axis techniques to find the shock graph of each dactyl outline, which is then converted into a first-order logic...

Reality is not user-friendly. To cope with, model, and comprehend a complex reality requires complex systems. Complex systems offer power, but they are not without problems. In our research, high functionality computer systems serve as prototypical examples for complex systems and are used to instantiate our framework of cooperative problem solving in joint human-computer systems. Models play a...

While storytelling and visualization have always been recognized as invaluable techniques for imparting knowledge across generations, their importance has become even more evident in the present information age abundance of complex data grows exponentially. These can simplify convoluted concepts communicate them a way to be intelligible diverse audiences, bringing together heterogeneous stakeho...

this study was designed to find which one of the three different presentations, i.e. input, input-output, and output-input, will be more effective in iranian efl learners' vocabulary acquisitions. to this end, first 54 out of 64 female students, aged from 19 to 23 years, with an average of 21, were selected out of starter-level efl learners at the university of tarbiat moalem in bandar abb...

Public reporting of health care outcomes is largely ignored by consumers, perhaps because it doesn't include concise, comprehensible information on factors such as out-of-pocket costs, the effectiveness of a procedure or treatment, and applicability to their situation.
