    Size functions for the morphological analysis of melanocytic lesions

    Size Functions and Support Vector Machines are used to implement a new automatic classifier of melanocytic lesions. This is mainly based on a qualitative assessment of asymmetry, performed by halving images by several lines through the center of mass, and comparing the two halves in terms of color, mass distribution, and boundary. The program is used, at clinical level, with two thresholds, so that comparison of the two outputs produces a report of low-middle-high risk. Experimental results on 977 images, with cross-validation, are reported. © 2010 M. Ferri and I. Stanganelli

    Gargiulo, La Rocca and Stanganelli provide an analysis of the success factors in deployment of telecommunications networks as a means of regional development. They distinguish between economic, political-institutional, and sociological success factors. 'New conditions for competitiveness point out that access to information and communication networks are indispensable factors for the centrality and the development of a region, and ascribe a key role to the areas in which the territorial or network-organized competitive activities are concentrated
