There has been a recent upsurge of interest in permanent His bundle pacing, given increased understanding and appreciation of the role dyssynchronous ventricular activation plays in congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Permanent His bundle pacing gives implanters the ability to avoid causing ventricular dyssynchrony in patients dependent on ventricular pacing, and can provide an al...

This paper describes the method and results of our approach, submitted as team ‘NLPCruise’ at ALTA shared task 2016. The goal of the shared task is to predict whether two given web Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) correspond to the same entity or not. Retrieving the URI content in addition to the dataset provided, we built a two stage filter and match technique that utilises search engine sc...

Camera stabilization is an important task for video analysis. In this report, we describe a method for estimating and stabilizing camera motion between two images via 2D image registration. Our approach is based on a pair-wise registration of images parameterized by 2D affine or projective transformation. Pair-wise image registration estimates transformation parameters for each pair of consecut...

Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is the most rapidly evolving global emergency since March 2020 and one of exercised topics in all aspects world. So far there are numerous articles that have been published related to COVID-19 various disciplines science social context. Since from very beginning, researchers trying address some fundamental questions like how long it will...

Code smells (a.k.a. anti-patterns) are manifestations of poor design solutions that can deteriorate software maintainability and evolution. Existing works did not take into account the issue uncertain class labels, which is an important inherent characteristic detection problem. More precisely, two human experts may have different degrees uncertainty about smelliness a particular only for smell...

Two general classes of multiple decision functions, where each member of the first class strongly controls the family-wise error rate (FWER), while each member of the second class strongly controls the false discovery rate (FDR), are described. These classes offer the possibility that optimal multiple decision functions with respect to a pre-specified Type II error criterion, such as the missed...

In phase II platform trials, 'many-to-one' comparisons are performed when K experimental treatments are compared with a common control to identify the most promising treatment(s) to be selected for Phase III trials. However, when sample sizes are limited, such as when the disease of interest is rare, only a single Phase II/III trial addressing both treatment selection and confirmatory efficacy ...
