purpose : to evaluate outcome of surgically slanting extraocular muscle insertions in a and v-pattern strabismus methods : in this prospective non-randomized interventional case series, we created a slanting surgical reinsertion line with a 3- 4 mm difference between upper and lower corners of the muscles in 16 patients with a or v strabismus (v-exotropia in 10 patients, a-exotropia in 1 patien...

How do new ideas emerge in academic contexts and what forces determine which get selected are forgotten? We analyze all papers presented at the ANPEC Brazilian Economics National Meetings from 2013 to 2019 using topic modeling Kullback-Leibler divergence measure novelty resonance. In contrast simply counting citations or reference combinations, these methods explore Shannon information actual t...

web usage mining (wum) is the automatic discovering of hidden informationof user access pattern from the web log data. frequent pattern discovery is one ofthe main techniques in wum that can be used to implement recommender systems,forecast user`s navigational behaviour, and personalize web sites. many algorithmshave been suggested on obtaining frequent user navigation patterns. this paperprese...

By Hongquan Xu∗ and Ching-Shui Cheng† University of California, Los Angeles, and University of California, Berkeley Chen and Cheng [Ann. Statist. 34 (2006) 546–558] discussed the method of doubling for constructing two-level fractional factorial designs. They showed that for 9N/32 ≤ n ≤ 5N/16, all minimum aberration designs with N runs and n factors are projections of the maximal design with 5N...

introduction: cigarette smoking is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and it has been identified as the single most important cause of cardiovascular accident related deaths in most countries. methods: 1573 people who lives in 17th zone of tehran (population research center of tehran university of medical sciences) were investigated by a cross- sectional study. a group of...

background and aims: depression is a growing public health problem in the world. in this study we investigated the relationship between dietary patterns and depression in adults aged 20-50 years living in shiraz, iran. methods: in a cross-sectional study, 416 subjects (180 men and 236 women) aged 20 to 50 years were selected by stratified multistage random sampling. dietary intakes were assesse...

In most low-power VLSI designs, the supply voltage is usually reduced to lower the total power consumption. However, the device speed will be degraded as the supply voltage goes down. In this paper, we propose new algorithmic-level techniques to compensate the increased delays based on the multirate approach. We apply the technique of polyphase decomposition to design low-power transform coding...
