background: there are conficting reports regarding the association between coronary artery disease (cad) and mild cognitive  impairment (mci). volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (mri) investigations have been considered as an objective biomarker for  mci. in this study, we determined the relationship between the regional brain volumes and the extent of cad in mci patients and  cognitively no...

A new dynamic multi-dimensional index structure called RSR-tree is proposed, in which splitting operations of leaf nodes and non-leaf nodes are performed separatively. RSR-tree retains the sequence ordering of index records in a leaf node of RS-tree and thus reduces the addressing time cost of disk access while reading data files. In addition, it integrates the characteristic of reducing the ov...

BACKGROUND The relevance of left ventricular (LV) geometric pattern after myocardial infarction is not known. OBJECTIVES To analyze the presence of different LV geometric patterns and their impact as a predictor of remodeling in patients with myocardial infarction. METHODS Patients with anterior acute myocardial infarction (n = 80) were divided according to the geometric pattern: normal (no...

The Historical R-tree is a spatio-temporal access method aimed at the retrieval of window queries in the past. The concept behind the method is to keep an R-tree for each timestamp in history, but allow consecutive trees to share branches when the underlying objects do not change. New branches are only created to accommodate updates from the previous timestamp. Although existing implementations...

Computation with a term rewrite system (TRS) consists in the application of its rules from a given starting term until a normal form is reached, which is considered the result of the computation. The unique normalization (UN) property for a TRS R states that any starting term can reach at most one normal form when R is used, i.e. that the computation with R is unique. We study the decidability ...
