Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia, associated with elevated risks cardiovascular events and death. The assessment left atrial (LA) mechanics has been reported to refine AF risk prediction, however it does not completely predict relapse. potential added role right (RA) function in this sett...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery (LARS) is generally the treatment of choice for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This report describes our experiences in performing LARS on patients with GERD, and focuses retrospectively on the pathophysiology of individual patients and the current status of Japanese patients who have undergone LARS. We demonstrate that patients...

We are interested in parallelizing the least angle regression (LARS) algorithm for fitting linear models to high-dimensional data. consider two parallel and communication avoiding versions of basic LARS algorithm. The algorithms have different asymptotic costs practical performance. One offers more speedup other produces accurate output. first is bLARS, a block version algorithm, where we updat...

The Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System (LARS) is a prosthetic device used to support knee ligaments severed due injury. role of LARS in supporting the take over position natural that have been severed, binding thigh bone shin bone. made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material, commonly industry. product widely heal ligament injuries. However, despite its everyday use, no one...

In the dependency pair framework for proving termination of rewriting systems, polynomial interpretations are used to transform dependency chains into bounded decreasing sequences of integers, and they play an important role for the success of proving termination, especially for constrained rewriting systems. In this paper, we show sufficient conditions of linear polynomial interpretations for ...
