A Fuzzy Stopping Problem with the Concept

Stimulated by Zadeh’s paper (Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, 2002, 105, 233–264), we will try to consider a perceptive analysis of the optimal stopping problem. In this paper, the fuzzy perception value of the expectation of the optimal stopped reward is characterized and calculated by a new recursive equation. Also, a numerical example described by triangular fuzzy numbers is gi...

In the light o f the fu ture health care needs and the relationship between the private and public sector health care establishments, information about the role and task o f the I professional nurse was needed. * Informatio...

Prediction of three-dimensional femoral offset from AP pelvis radiographs in primary hip osteoarthritis.

BACKGROUND In pre-operative planning for total hip arthroplasty (THA), femoral offset (FO) is frequently underestimated on AP pelvis radiographs as a result of inaccurate patient positioning, imprecise magnification, and radiographic beam divergence. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of predicting three-dimensional (3-D) FO from standardised AP pelvis rad...

The effect of femoral offset modification on gait after total hip arthroplasty

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A decrease of 15% in femoral offset (FO) has been reported to generate a weakness of the abductor muscle, but this has not been directly linked to an alteration of gait. Our hypothesis was that this 15% decrease in FO may also generate a clinically detectable alteration in the gait. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a prospective comparative study on 28 patients who und...
