To implement fine-grained context recognition that is accurate and affordable for general households, we present a novel technique that integrates multiple image-based cognitive APIs and light-weight machine learning. Our key idea is to regard every image as a document by exploiting “tags” derived by multiple APIs. The aim of this paper is to compare API-based models’ performance and improve the recognition accuracy by preserving the affordability for general households. We present a novel method for further improving the recognition accuracy based on multiple cognitive APIs and four modules, fork integration, majority voting, score voting, and range voting.

Abstract Background Accurate preoperative assessment of the longitudinal extension of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC) is essential for treatment planning. Mapping biopsies for PHCC remain challenging owing to technical difficulties and insufficient sample amounts. The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of a novel technique for mapping biopsies of PHCC. Methods Our novel method focused on a biliary stent delivery system for mapping biopsies. Fifty patients with PHCC undergoing endoscopic transpapillary mapping biopsy using the novel method were reviewed from August 2015 to June 2019. Results The median number of biopsy samples was six (range 1 – 17), and the rate of adequate sampling was 91.4 % (266 /291). Biopsy from the intrahepatic bile duct was possible in 82.0 % of patients (41 /50), and negative margins were confirmed in the resected specimens from 34 /39 patients who underwent surgery (87.2 %). None of the patients had post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis. Conclusions With our novel method, accurate assessment of the longitudinal extension of PHCC might be expected with minimal trauma to the duodenal papilla.

Novel Method

Novel method for the 3D shaping of different materials using a high-pressure abrasive water jet is presented in the paper. For the steering movement process of the jet, a principle similar to the raster image way of record and readout was used. However, respective colors of pixels of such a bitmap are connected with adequate jet feed rate that causes erosion of material with adequate depth. Thanks to that innovation, one can observe spatial imaging of the object. Theoretical basis as well as spatial model of material shaping including steering program is presented in. There are also presented experimental erosion results as well as practical examples of the object’s bas-relief made of metal.

In contrast to identity anaphors, which indicate coreference between a noun phrase and its antecedent, bridging anaphors link to their antecedent(s) via lexico-semantic, frame, or encyclopedic relations. Bridging resolution involves recognizing bridging anaphors and finding links to antecedents. In contrast to most prior work, we tackle both problems. Our work also follows a more wide-ranging definition of bridging than most previous work and does not impose any restrictions on the type of bridging anaphora or relations between anaphor and antecedent. We create a corpus (ISNotes) annotated for information status (IS), bridging being one of the IS subcategories. The annotations reach high reliability for all categories and marginal reliability for the bridging subcategory. We use a two-stage statistical global inference method for bridging resolution. Given all mentions in a document, the first stage, bridging anaphora recognition, recognizes bridging anaphors as a subtask of learning fine-grained IS. We use a cascading collective classification method where (i) collective classification allows us to investigate relations among several mentions and autocorrelation among IS classes and (ii) cascaded classification allows us to tackle class imbalance, important for minority classes such as bridging. We show that our method outperforms current methods both for IS recognition overall as well as for bridging, specifically. The second stage, bridging antecedent selection, finds the antecedents for all predicted bridging anaphors. We investigate the phenomenon of semantically or syntactically related bridging anaphors that share the same antecedent, a phenomenon we call sibling anaphors. We show that taking sibling anaphors into account in a joint inference model improves antecedent selection performance. In addition, we develop semantic and salience features for antecedent selection and suggest a novel method to build the candidate antecedent list for an anaphor, using the discourse scope of the anaphor. Our model outperforms previous work significantly.

Retention, stability and support are the basic principles on which the success of a complete denture relies on. Extreme resorption of the maxillary denture-bearing area leads to a narrower, constricted residual ridge with decreased supporting tissues and a larger restorative space between the maxillary and mandibular residual ridge. Rehabilitation in such cases may result in increased weight and height of the prosthesis further compromising its retention, support and stability. So, to prevent further resorption of ridges, the weight of the prosthesis needs to be reduced which can be achieved by making hollow prosthesis. This case report describes a novel technique of fabricating maxillary hollow maxillary complete denture.

AbstractObjective:This paper presents a novel method for spreader graft placement without dorsum resection in patients who have a deviated septum with a narrow internal nasal valve angle.Methods:A Killian incision was used for the endonasal septoplasty, and all spreader grafts were harvested from excised deviated septal cartilages. Procedures were conducted under general anaesthesia at the same centre by the same surgical team that performed the endonasal procedure. Successful placement of spreader grafts was achieved endonasally.Conclusion:Although the endonasal placement of spreader grafts seems to be more difficult than placement conducted by an open approach technique, an endonasal procedure has many advantages. Our technique provides surgeons with the opportunity to shorten operation time, obtain autologous septal graft material and secure the columellar architecture. Surgeons familiar with the classical (endonasal) septoplasty procedure can easily apply this technique to widen a narrow internal nasal valve angle, without corrupting nasal integrity.

Abstract. Microscopic examination of resin-embedded sedimenl cores has provided information regarding the sedimentary fabric in certain environments (e.g. Watling, 1988) as well as the in situ associations of rose Bengal-stained infaunal foraminifera (e.g. Frankel, 1970, 1974). Unfortunately, difficulties connected with making and examining these resin-embedded cores have limited their widespread use in studying meioinfauna. In particular, sediment grains may obscure specimens when viewed by transmitted light microscopy. Also, using rose Bengal to identify live foraminifera can be problematic (Bernhard, 1988). Furthermore, fine-grained deposits are difficult to infiltrate with highly viscous embedding media (e.g. Epon 812 ≥ 100 centipoise). and may require a vacuum apparatus for proper infiltration (Watling, 1988).Fluorescent probes were recently used to distinguish live from dead foraminifera (Bernhard et al., 1995). Here we report a novel method using an aldehyde-fixable fluorescent probe (Cell Tracker™ Green CMFDA) which, when viewed by epifluorescence microscopy, greatly enhances the visibility of biological material alive at the time of fixation. Cell Tracker™ Green CMFDA is a membrane-permeant chloromethyl derivative of fluorescein diacetate that is hydrolyzed by cellular esterases to yield a membrane-impermeant, fluorescent intermediate which further undergoes a reaction with glutathione to form an aldehyde-fixable end-product (Haugland, 1992). We also used low viscosity embedding media (i.e. 20–60 centipoise) to facilitate infiltration. The method is applied to the study of live foraminifera in a sediment core.PROCEDUREA c. 1.5 cm diameter subcorer (fashioned from a 10 ml syringe by removing the tip end, creating a cylinder into which two syringe plungers were inserted) was used to . . .
