Procedural content generation is more popular than ever among game developers, but understanding, adjusting and perfecting a procedural generator is difficult for newcomers and experts alike. In this paper we present Danesh, an intelligent tool we are building to help developers of all skill levels explore, improve and understand procedural generators. We discuss the structure of the tool, repo...

Purpose To systematically review randomised and observational evidence of peri-procedural and long-term effects of CEA, CAS and Medical Treatment Alone (MTA) for individuals with substantial carotid stenosis. To discuss the contribution of observational evidence in informing implications of changing disease risks and procedural characteristics on best treatment strategies in categories of patie...

conclusions during car crashes, especially car rollover, unbelted occupants are more likely to sustain multiple severe injuries and death. law enforcement of the seat belt usage for all occupants (front and rear seat) is obligatory to reduce severe injuries sustained as a result of car accidents, especially in vehicles with low safety. results a total of 560 patients used seat belts (68.1%). th...

in this work, the time series modeling was used to predict the tazareh coal mine risks. for this purpose, initially, a monthly analysis of the risk constituents including frequency index and incidence severity index was performed. next, a monthly time series diagram related to each one of these indices was for a nine year period of time from 2005 to 2013. after extrusion of the trend, seasonali...

Puzzles play a central role in our everyday lives with exciting potentials. As assessments in education and psychometry, puzzles are among the most frequently used tools (Verguts & Boeck, 2000). A well-known example is the odd one out puzzle of IQ tests (Carter, 2005). There exist dedicated word puzzles to test or improve a wide array of skills including language skills, verbal aptitude, logica...

introduction: iatrogenic furcal perforation is a procedural accident in endodontic treatments of primary/permanent teeth; prognosis may be favorable if a complete seal with biomaterial is immediately established. the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate microleakage of calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement and proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) for sealing primary molar furcal p...

The goal of procedural modeling is to generate realistic content. The realism of this content is typically assessed by qualitatively evaluating a small number of results, or, less frequently, by conducting a user study. However, there is a lack of systematic treatment and understanding of what is considered realistic, both in procedural modeling and for images in general. We conduct a user stud...

One of the most important and effective factors in prioritizing high accident prone segments of roads for pedestrians is accident cause which up to now has been neglected in current methods. Since accidents are not additives due to various reasons, prioritizing these segments without considering the accident cause makes the selection of high accident prone segments inaccurate. In this paper, by...
