Spatial statistical analyses inevitably are affected by positional errors embedded in georeferenced data. Positional errors further propagate when observations need to be geographically aggregated. This data accuracy issue often results in unreliable statistical conclusion about attribute variables in spatial statistical modeling. This paper investigates how positional errors propagate to varia...

This article presents a combination of remote sensing, an artificial neural network, and game theory to synthesize system for safe ship traffic management at sea. Serial data transmission from the ARPA anti-collision radar are used enable computer support navigator’s maneuvering decisions in situations where large number ships must be passed. The following methods were determine optimal traject...

Zebrafish genome sequencing project has improved efficiency of positional cloning in zebrafish and traditional chromosome walking by isolating large insert genomic libraries has become a past. However, the genetic principles underlying the positional cloning still form the foundation for current chromosome walking using the genome sequence assemblies and related genomic sequence and clone infor...

Positional behavior in adult red colobus monkeys (Colobus badius) was examined in a variety of ecological contexts. Using a focal-animal methodology, we assessed how data collected by different observers, in different years, in different seasons, and in different forests affected estimates of positional behavior. In all, 23,000 bouts were recorded. Variation in frequency is greatest in the comm...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) on positional dependency in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING Tertiary care university hospital. PATIENTS Ninety-six patients who underwent UPPP because of OSA from June 1, 2004, through July 31, 2008, were included. Both preoperative and postoperative attended full-night p...

OBJECTIVES To compare the physiological and anthropometric characteristics of specific playing positions and positional playing groups in junior rugby league players. METHODS Two hundred and forty junior rugby league players underwent measurements of standard anthropometry (body mass, height, sum of four skinfolds), muscular power (vertical jump), speed (10, 20, and 40 m sprint), agility (L r...

Linear Go is the game of Go played on the 1×n board. Positional Linear Go is Linear Go with a rule set that uses positional superko. We explore gametheoretic properties of Positional Linear Go, and incorporate them into a solver based on MTD( f ) search, solving states on boards up to 1×9.

BACKGROUND Positional therapy that prevents patients from sleeping supine has been used for many years to manage positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, patients' usage at home and the long term efficacy of this therapy have never been objectively assessed. METHODS Sixteen patients with positional OSA who refused or could not tolerate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) were...

Languages often single out prominent positions for special consideration, allowing certain elements to appear only in those positions. Often material in the prominent position surfaces faithfully but neutralizes elsewhere (preservation systems), but other systems involve the spreading or migration of features to the prominent position to comply with the positional restriction (overwrite systems...

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a clinical entity characterized by acute, brief paroxysmal attacks of rotational vertigo induced by head position changes. It is the most common peripheral vestibular pathology and is seen more frequently in women. However, to our knowledge, there is very limited data on the association between BPPV and pregnancy in both English and Turkish literat...
