BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the prediction accuracy of postoperative refractions using partial coherence interferometry (IOL-Master) and applanation ultrasound (AL-3000) assisted with corneal topography (TMS-4) in eyes that had undergone myopic laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS Haigis-L formula, Koch-Maloney method using Haigis formula, Shammas clinically deri...

This paper is concerned with an algorithm for selecting the best set of s variables out of k(> s) candidate variables in a multiple linear regression model. We employ absolute deviation as the measure of deviation and solve the resulting optimization problem by using 0-1 integer programming methodologies. In addition, we will propose a heuristic algorithm to obtain a close to optimal set of var...

Abstract—It is well known that the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) of Saaty is one of the most powerful approach for decision aid in solving of a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Several computing weights methods in AHP are analyzed. Based on least square method, three methods for calculating weights using the least the sum of squares of error criterion, the least the sum of erro...

Gaussian-3 total energies has been approximated using single-point Hartree-Fock-self-consistent field (HFSCF) total energies plus the correlation energy corrections calculated from the HF-SCF partial atomic charges according to the rapid estimation of correlation energy from partial charges (RECEP) method (Chem. Phys. Lett. 1999, 307, 469). Sixty-five closed-shell neutral molecules (composed of...

INTRODUCTION The capacity of a healthy individual to estimate the true vertical in relation to the Earth when a fluorescent line is aligned in a completely dark room is called the subjective visual vertical. OBJECTIVE To evaluate subjective visual vertical using the bucket method in healthy Brazilian individuals. METHODS Binocular subjective visual vertical was measured in 100 healthy volun...

in this paper, we propose a parametric uniform approximation method to solve np-hard absolute value equations. for this, we uniformly approximate absolute value in such a way that the nonsmooth absolute value equation can be formulated as a smooth nonlinear equation. by solving the parametric smooth nonlinear equation using newton method, for a decreasing sequence of parameters, we can get the ...

Wavelet transform provides a fine means of classifying seizure EEG signals from the normal EEG signals. Stationary wavelet transform (SWT) is used to further improve the performance of discrete wavelet transform. EEG signal prediction and classification can be bolstered up by applying SWT. In this work the residues obtained from denoising the signal using SWT is considered. Its arithmetical fac...
