30、 of 21st century, now the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans at an angle of 3.97 degrees.In 1178, the shift in direction was observed for the first time when the construction had progressed further to the third floor.

31、land.For compensating(補(bǔ)償) the leaning position, the builders started to construct the upper floors with one side higher than the other one.

39、they believe using AI could revolutionize healthcare by turning anyone's smart-phone into a cancer scanner.The AI was repurposed from software developed by Google that had learned to spot the difference between images of cats and dogs. It was shown 129,450 photographs and told what type of skin

40、condition it was looking at in each one.It then learned to spot the hallmarks of the most common type of skin cancer: carcinoma, and the most deadly: melanoma(黑色素瘤).

41、 in the journal Nature, then tested the AI against 21 trained skin cancer doctors. One of the researchers, Dr Andre Esteva, told the BBC News website: "We find excitedly, in general, that we are on par with excellent skin cancer doctors."However, the computer software cannot make a full di

42、agnosis, as this is normally confirmed with a tissue biopsy（活檢）. Dr Esteva said the system now needed to be tested alongside doctors in the clinic. "The application of AI to healthcare is, we believe, an incredibly exciting area of research that can be leveraged to achieve a great deal of socie
