No full textComparing diagnoses from expert systems and human experts
No full textThis paper discusses a comparison of one heuristic and two Bayesian belief network based expert systems used to aid veterinarians in the process of differential diagnoses of equine diseases where coughing is the presenting clinical sign. Each implementation infers the likelihood of the presence of a number of diseases based on information on the presence or absence of certain clinical signs. The Bayesian belief network approaches are similar except that one includes the use of prior information in the form of disease prevalence estimates. Both are implemented using the Hugin software package. The three approaches were compared using test cases and the lists of resulting diagnoses were examined for agreement using a measure of concordance. The results indicated a difference between the heuristic approach which used the rule-based scoring mechanism and the Bayesian systems. There was, however, little difference between the diagnoses produced by the two Bayesian implementations, indicating that the incorporation of prevalence data makes little difference in diagnostic systems of this type. The findings were also compared with those of clinical experts. The analysis indicated that clinicians were not always in agreement. Moreover, using the same set of test cases the experts were more in agreement with the Bayesian approaches than with the heuristic approach

The specific epithet is a atribute to Dr Fernando Zagury Vaz-de-Mello (UFMT), in honour of his contributions to Coleoptera research, as well as for providing part of the type series of this species and others. Distribution. The regions where it is found in Brazil are in the two municipalities of ‘Barra do Bugres’ and ‘Porto Estrela’; it is also found in the ‘Departamiento de San Pedro’ in Paraguay (Figure 19). Remarks. This species resembles Byrsopolis crassa, but can be differentiated from it through many characters such as: the reduced body size and reddish colour; concavities posterior to the frontoclypeal suture; narrow mandibles, smooth, with scissorial region elongated transversely. Furthermore, some specimens exhibit setae on the aedeagus. Byrsopolis crassa have large body size (view redescription), colour orange to browntestacious; apex of clypeus moderately concave; wide mandibles, elongate longitudinally; aedeagus glabrous.Published as part of Medeiros, Rone A.

Measurement of associated W+ charm production in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV
Get PDFOpen Access, Copyright CERN, for the benefit of the CMS Collaboration.Measurements are presented of the associated production of a W boson and a charm-quark jet (W + c) in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The analysis is conducted with a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 5 fb−1, collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. W boson candidates are identified by their decay into a charged lepton (muon or electron) and a neutrino. The W + c measurements are performed for charm-quark jets in the kinematic region p jet T > 25 GeV, |ηjet| 25 GeV) and σ(pp → W + c + X)× B (W → ℓν) = 84.1 ± 2.0 (stat.) ± 4.9 (syst.) pb ( p ℓ T > 35 GeV), and the cross section ratios σ(pp → W+ + c ¯ + X)/σ(pp → W− + c + X) = 0.954 ± 0.025 (stat.) ± 0.004 (syst.) ( p ℓ T > 25 GeV) and σ(pp → W+ + c ¯ + X)/σ(pp → W− + c + X) = 0.938 ± 0.019 (stat.) ± 0.006 (syst.) ( p ℓ T > 35 GeV). Cross sections and cross section ratios are also measured differentially with respect to the absolute value of the pseudorapidity of the lepton from the W-boson decay. These are the first measurements from the LHC directly sensitive to the strange quark and antiquark content of the proton. Results are compared with theoretical predictions and are consistent with the predictions based on global fits of parton distribution functions

Genitalia. Aedeagus with large basal piece, slightly convex; tectum shallowly concave; parameres elongate, sinuous in lateral view, with apical third bifurcate in apical third in dorsal view, apex rounded (Figs 3 A–B). Female. Unknown. Differential diagnosis. Archedinus antoshkai is most similar to A. howdeni based on the emarginate clypeal projection, anterior prosternal process with rounded apex, and the apices of the parameres not being bifurcate. However, it can be distinguished from it by its smaller size (17.5 mm in A. antoshkai versus 25–27 mm in A. howdeni), the clypeal projection with anterior margin more strongly emarginate medially (Fig. 2A in A. antoshkai versus Fig. 2B,D in A. howdeni), in A. howdeni the frons is with an elongate, triangular depression (Figs 2A,C in A. antoshkai versus Fig. 2B in A. howdeni), the third antennomere is small, being as long as the fourth (Fig. 3F in A. antoshkai versus Fig. 3G in A. howdeni), the mentum is elongate with a rounded anterior margin (Fig. 3D in A. antoshkai versus Fig. 3E in A. howdeni), pronotum with coarser lateral margins (Figs 2C,E in A. antoshkai versus Figs 2D,F in A. howdeni) and the aedeagus with apices of the parameres simple, without a small lateral projection (Fig. 3A in A. antoshkai versus Fig. 3C in A. howdeni). Etymology. The new species is named after Anton Olegovich Kozlov (Moscow, Russia), who made the specimen available for study and generously donated the holotype to us. The name refers to the diminutive form of his first name, “Antoshka”, used by friends; noun in apposition. Natural history. The species occurs in the highest mountain in Honduras in a tropical cloud forest at 2600 m elevation. Female specimens, immature stages, and life cycle are unknown. Distribution. Only known from the type locality: Cerro Las Minas in Celaque National Park, Lempira Department, Honduras.Published as part of Seidel, Matthias, Arriaga-Varela, Emmanuel & Sousa, Rafael, 2018, Catalogue of the Incini with the description of the first Archedinus species from Honduras (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae), pp. 389-405 in Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae (Acta.

A triangulation method for approximation with Dahmen Micchelli Seidel Splines
No full textThe DMS Spline - developed by W. Dahmen, C. A. Micchelli and H. P. Seidel - is a generalisation of the Schoenberg Splines into the multivariate Euklidean Space. This paper is about approximation with that spline in the bivariate case. Especially a triangulation algorithm is developed which computes a triangulation and also the knots of that triangulation. In each triangle of the triangulation a minimum and a maximum of the number of data is guaranteed. The approximation takes place over these data
