The Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale (PASS) has been developed to evaluate pain anxiety, which leads to avoidance of daily activities and normal movements. However, a simplified Chinese version of PASS is still not available. Physicians are not aware of which patients are prone to anxiety, and what the risk factors are.To cross-culturally adapt the PASS into a simplified Chinese version and test the...

This paper describes a bidirectional Monte Carlo ray tracing method simu lating global illumination in models containing complex objects that do not have to be tessellated The two pass method combines a rst pass light ray tracing ray casting with a second pass optimized Monte Carlo ray tracing In the rst pass the light emitted from the light sources hit objects in the scene and may be re ected ...

We consider approximate inference in a class of switching linear Gaussian State Space models which includes the switching Kalman Filter and the more general case of switch transitions dependent on the continuous hidden state. The method is a novel form of Gaussian sum smoother consisting of a single forward and backward pass, and compares favourably against a range of competing techniques, incl...

BACKGROUND mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) consists of orthograde fluid preparation to clean the bowel. MBP is considered to prevent postoperative complications. METHODS meta-analysis of prospective randomised clinical trials (RCT) evaluating MBP versus no MBP. RESULTS following a medline search we retrieved 15 prospective trials of which only 5 where RCT comparing MBP versus no MBP in e...

background: acanthamoeba keratitis develops by pathogenic acanthamoeba such as a. pal­es­tinen­sis . indeed this species is one of the known causative agents of amoebic keratitis in iran. mannose binding protein (mbp) is the main pathogenicity factors for developing this sight threatening disease. we aimed to characterize mbp gene in pathogenic acanthamoeba isolates such as a. palestinensis . m...

Human serum (MBP) and human recombinant (rMBP) mannose-binding protein bind to mannose-rich, serum-resistant Salmonella montevideo (SH5770), enhance C3 deposition, and render the organisms serum-sensitive. We investigated structural features of MBP necessary for this effect. MBP has a cysteine-rich amino-terminal region, a collagen-like region, and a carboxyl-terminal carbohydrate-recognition d...

Oligodendroglial Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) synthesis is essential for myelin formation in the central nervous system. During oligodendrocyte differentiation, MBP mRNA is kept in a translationally silenced state while intracellularly transported, until neuron-derived signals initiate localized MBP translation. Here we identify the small non-coding RNA 715 (sncRNA715) as an inhibitor of MBP tran...

There are various kinds of practical implementation issues for the HMM. The use of scaling factor is the main issue in HMM implementation. The scaling factor is used for obtaining smoothened probabilities. The proposed technique called Modified Forward-Backward Re-estimation algorithm used to recognize speech patterns. The proposed algorithm has shown very good recognition accuracy as compared ...

Abstract—This paper analyzes fundamental ideas and concepts related to neural networks, which provide the reader a theoretical explanation of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks operation classified as Deep Learning Systems, and to explicitly present the mathematical development of Backward Pass equations of the LSTM network model. This mathematical modeling associated with software developm...
