Voxel Coloring has become a popular technique for reconstructing a 3D scene from a set of 2D images. While many different variants of this technique exist, all rely on a test to determine if each voxel is projecting to regions of consistent color in all views of that voxel. A number of color consistency tests can be used and the specific choice has a large influence on the quality of the recons...

Aims. We analyze different data of the variation of the fine structure constant obtained with different methods to check their consistency. Methods. We test consistency using the modified student test and confidence intervals. We split the data sets into smaller intervals. A criterion for this selection is proposed. Results. Results show consistency for reduced intervals for each pair of data s...

background: alcohol consumption is one of the main health problems in most countries. the purpose of the present study is to evaluate the reliability and validity of alcohol use disorders identification test (audit). methods: by employing the method of available sampling, 70 alcoholic patients were included as case group and 70 normal age, gender and education matched individuals were also incl...

Gravitational waves from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers can constrain nuclear models, predicting their equation of state (EOS). Matter effects on the inspiral-merger signal are encoded in multipolar tidal polarizability parameters, whose leading order combination is sufficient to capture, with high accuracy, key features merger waveform. Similar EOS-insensitive relations exist for post-merge...

Thermodynamic consistency test of isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data of various binary systems containing Carbon dioxide (CO2)/Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have been investigated in wide ranges of pressures in each isotherm precisely. In this paper Generic van der Waals (GvdW) equation of state (EoS) coupled with modified van der Waals Berthelot mixing rule has ...

ABSTRKT The meaning of consistency of increased limit factors (ILF) is reconsidered and a new test of the consistency condition is proposed. It is shown that the three major measures of risk satisfy the new consistency test with no restrictions. The problems of specifying consistent risk-loaded rates for high limits are discussed and a revised subtraction formula is given for the case where ris...

BACKGROUND Medication errors which can cause several medical malfunctions, have been in the spotlight recently. Job satisfaction and fatigue seems to be related to the increase of medication errors in nursing. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the correlation between the amount and type of medication errors with job satisfaction and fatigue of nurses working in Shahid Sadoughi hospital ...

Objectives To assess learning approaches of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-year medical students by using revised two-factor study process questionnaire, and to assess reliability and validity of the questionnaire. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at the College of Medicine, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 2014. The revised two-factor study process questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) was completed by 610 med...
