INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The long-term prognostic significance of coronary artery dominance pattern in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is poorly characterized. We investigated the prognosis of such patients according to whether they had right dominance, left dominance, or codominance. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 767 patients, who were admitted to hosp...

Factor-based models of emotion (affect) are often used in the field of emotion modeling and emotion measurement, in particular the three factor model commonly known as Pleasure Arousal and Dominance (PAD). This article addresses computational use and usefulness of the third factor, i.e., Dominance. The claim made in this article is that Dominance should be seriously considered when modeling or ...

In this paper, the relationship between testosterone and dominance is studied in a sample of adolescent boys and girls, taking into account the moderating role of gender ideology and...

This paper proposes an improved version of volume dominance to assign fitness to solutions in Pareto-based multi-objective optimisation. The impact of this revised volume dominance on the performance of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms is investigated by incorporating it into three approaches, namely SEAMO2, SPEA2 and NSGA2 to solve instances of the 2-, 3and 4objective knapsack problem. ...
