This paper presents two metrics for the Nearest Neighbor Classifier that share the property of being adapted, i.e. learned, on a set of data. Both metrics can be used for similarity search when the retrieval critically depends on a symbolic target feature. The first one is called Local Asymmetrically Weighted Similarity Metric (LASM) and exploits reinforcement learning techniques for the comput...

A new, highly selective and sensitive scan function for quantification of 11-nor-9-carboxy-D-tetrahydrocanabinol (THC carboxylic acid) in hair is presented. Hair is a very complex matrix and high background and/or interferences around the expected retention time for THC carboxylic acid are observed in the main MRM traces. The ability to use fragments of second order, MS (MS/MS/MS), will show a ...

This study provides a comparison of the results latent class analysis (LCA) and mixture Rasch model (MRM) using data from Trends in International Mathematics Science Study – 2011 (TIMSS-2011) with focus on 8th-grade mathematics section. The research focuses LCA MRM to determine if obtained differ when assumed psychometric differs. Also, log-linear was conducted understand interactions between c...

Aims: To compare overall findings of our Modified Radical Mastoidectomy (MRM) practice with the available contemporary standards international recognition. Design and Methodology: The cohort included patients who underwent from 2013 to 2018 by author, were subjected a retrospective study. details obtained clinic reports preoperative postoperative hearing (documented end fourth post op year), th...

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a communal ailment of the middle ear Objective: To compare hearing status with and without reconstruction after modified radical mastoidectomy. Methods: 40 total patients (the Atico-antral variety) who endured mastoidectomy (MRM) or were enrolled in study. The subjects alienated into 2 groups depending on surgical procedure. Patients done but was not a...

Automated driving is now possible in diverse road and traffic conditions. However, there are still situations that automated vehicles cannot handle safely efficiently. In this case, a Transition of Control (ToC) necessary so the driver takes control driving. Executing ToC requires to get full situation awareness environment. If fails back limited time, Minimum Risk Maneuver (MRM) executed bring...

OBJECTIVE Is skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) with conservation of the Nipple-Areola Complex (NAC) and immediate autologous reconstruction as safe in oncologic terms as SSM with resection of the NAC as modified radical mastectomy (MRM)? SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA The originally described technique of SSM included the removal of gland, NAC, and biopsy scar. However, the risk of tumor involvement of ...

Women diagnosed and surgically treated for regional breast cancer (N = 190) were studied to determine the sexual and body change sequelae for women receiving modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with breast reconstruction in comparison with the sequelae for women receiving breast-conserving therapy (BCT) or MRM without breast reconstruction. The sexuality pattern for women receiving reconstructive...

One aim of this work is to investigate the feasibility of using a hierarchy of models to describe diffusion tensor MRI data. Parsimonious model selection criteria are used to choose among different models of diffusion within tissue. Second, based on this information, we assess whether we can perform simultaneous tissue segmentation and classification. The proposed hierarchical framework used fo...
