Distance-based functions for image comparison

1999

The interest in digital image comparison is steadily growing in the computer vision community. The definition of a suitable comparison measure for non-binary images is relevant in many image processing applications. Visual tasks like segmentation and classification require the evaluation of equivalence classes. Measures of similarity are also used to evaluate lossy compression algorithms and to define pictorial indices in image content based retrieval methods. In this paper we develop a distance-based approach to image similarity evaluation and we present several image distances which are based on low level features. The sensitivity and eAectiveness are tested on real data. ” 1999 Published…

A dynamic business modelling approach to design and experiment new business venture strategies

2018

Abstract Business Modelling has evolved as a key activity to reflect new business venture strategy by framing the way a firm will operate and how it will function in achieving its goals (e.g., profitability, growth, innovation, social impact). However, scholars and practitioners have criticized the adoption of a too static perspective in the design and use of conventional Business Model representations. Such a static perspective prevents nascent entrepreneurs experimenting with their Business Models and, as a result, identifying the most effective strategies, especially in terms of business sustainability and profitability. In this paper, we argue that combining conventional Business Model …

Ruin probabilities in the presence of heavy tails and interest rates

1997

Abstract We study the infinite time ruin probability for the classical Cramer-Lundberg model, where the company also receives interest on its reserve. We consider the large claims case, where the claim size distribution F has a regularly varying tail. Hence our results apply for instance to Pareto, loggamma, certain Benktander and stable claim size distributions. We prove that for a positive force of interest δ the ruin probability ψδ (u) ∼ κδ (1 - F(u)) as the initial risk reserve u→∞. This is quantitatively different from the non-interest model, where ψ(u) ∼ κ (1 – F(y)) dy.

NeoFox: annotating neoantigen candidates with neoantigen features

2020

Abstract Summary The detection and prediction of true neoantigens is of great importance for the field of cancer immunotherapy. Wesearched the literature for proposed neoantigen features and integrated them into a toolbox called NEOantigen Feature toolbOX (NeoFox). NeoFox is an easy-to-use Python package that enables the annotation of neoantigen candidates with 16 neoantigen features. Availability and implementation NeoFox is freely available as an open source Python package released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) v3 license at https://github.com/TRON-Bioinformatics/neofox.

Mass spectra of halogenated esters. Part IX—methyl esters of 2-butenoic acids containing chlorine and/or bromine atom(s)

1990

The electron impact mass spectra of methyl esters of chloro-, bromo-, dichloro-, bromochloro- and dibromo-2-butenoic acids (13 esters at all) have been investigated. Generally, the peaks due to the following fragments are abundant: M+·, [M OCH3]+, [M CH3OH]+·, [M X]+, [M OCH3 CO]+ or [M COOCH3]+, [M X CH3OH]+ or [M OCH3 HX]+, [M OCH3 CO HX]+, [M OCH3 X X]+ and [M OCH3 CO X X]+. Characteristic for the 2- and 4-halo isomers are the primary losses of a methyl radical and methanol, and for the 3-halo isomers the loss of X· from M+·. Disparities between the spectra of the E and Z isomers are shown, the effect of position of halogen substitution being much more pronounced, as reported previously …

Process Drama Based Information Management for Assessment and Classification in Learning

2013

In this chapter we present a formal description of information management for assessment and classification in learning. The description is supported by a structure related to drama process for learning. Our logic follows the idea of invoking uncertainties using underlying categories, and the language of processes in ‘drama process’ is taken to be BPMN (Business Process Modelling Notation).

Discourse Markers in Speech: Distinctive Features and Corpus Annotation

2017

It is generally acknowledged that discourse markers are used differently in speech and writing, yet many general descriptions and most annotation frameworks are written-based, thus partially unfit to be applied in spoken corpora. This paper identifies the major distinctive features of discourse markers in spoken language, which can be associated with problems related to their scope and structure, their meaning and their tendency to co-occur. The description is based on authentic examples and is followed by methodological recommendations on how to deal with these phenomena in more exhaustive, speech-friendly annotation models.

Czynności notarialne online – podstawy de lege lata i uwagi de lege ferenda

2020

The text attempts to conceptualize the possible reform of the procedure of making notarial deeds in Poland. It examines the feasibility of drafting and signing these deeds in the course of online communication between parties. The analysis builds on the significant constraints for the classic notarial procedure (based on paper documents and on the physical presence of a notary and parties) that were triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. Its aim reaches, however, further beyond the present-day realities and seeks possible ways to generally modernize provisions on notarial deeds and to adjust them to the growing proliferation of online communication in the society. The text ascertains that the …

Applying Finite State Process Algebra to Formally Specify a Computational Model of Security Requirements in the Key2phone-Mobile Access Solution

2015

Key2phone is a mobile access solution which turns mobile phone into a key for electronic locks, doors and gates. In this paper, we elicit and analyse the essential and necessary safety and security requirements that need to be considered for the Key2phone interaction system. The paper elaborates on suggestions/solutions for the realisation of safety and security concerns considering the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. The authors structure these requirements and illustrate particular computational solutions by deploying the Labelled Transition System Analyser (LTSA), a modelling tool that supports a process algebra notation called Finite State Process (FSP). While determining an in…
