HYPOTHESIS Adrenal vein sampling is superior to computed tomography for subtype differentiation of primary hyperaldosteronism. DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING University medical center. PATIENTS Forty-eight patients (32 men and 16 women) with biochemically confirmed primary hyperaldosteronism. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We compared demographic factors, results of biochemical and imaging...

The skyline problem can be easily solved in linear I/Os in 2D space, after sorting the points of P by x-coordinate (think: how). We will show that the 3D version of the problem can also be settled in O(NB logM/B N B ) I/Os. Our description below follows that of [3]. Algorithm. Our algorithm accepts as input a dataset P whose points are sorted by x-coordinate. If N ≤ M (i.e., the memory capacity...

We adapt the distribution sweeping method to the cache oblivious model. Distribution sweeping is the name used for a general approach for divide-and-conquer algorithms where the combination of solved subproblems can be viewed as a merging process of streams. We demonstrate by a series of algorithms for specific problems the feasibility of the method in a cache oblivious setting. The problems al...

Delegating Divisible Sovereignty: Sweeping a Conceptual Minefield David A. Lake University of California, San Diego October 11, 2006 Delegating authority to international organizations (IOs) has recently been attacked by observers on the right and left. Conservatives, especially in the United States, charge that delegating authority to a supranational body or agency violates the Constitution. C...

Large amplitude standing waves of spatially periodic sine-Gordon equations are excited and controlled by sweeping the frequency of a small, spatially modulated driving oscillation through resonances in the system. The approach is based on capturing the system into resonances and subsequent adiabatic, persistent phase locking (autoresonance) yielding control via a single external parameter (the ...

We present a new algorithm, Prioritized Sweeping, for e cient prediction and control of stochastic Markov systems. Incremental learning methods such as Temporal Di erencing and Qlearning have fast real time performance. Classical methods are slower, but more accurate, because they make full use of the observations. Prioritized Sweeping aims for the best of both worlds. It uses all previous expe...
