This study was conducted to determine the gestational age-related reference range of the preload index [peak velocity during atrial contraction (A)/peak velocity during ventricular systole (S)] for the inferior vena cava (IVC), the right hepatic vein, the middle hepatic vein and the left hepatic vein. The slope and the intercept of the regression line for each preload index were compared among ...

The aim of this paper is to discuss the validity of the results of Wada and Jacobson (Can. J. Fish. Aquat. Sci. 55, 1998) and to propose a new concept of the stock-recruitment relationship for the Japanese sardine. Two regression analyses were used: simple regression and Deming regression. Reproductive success was defined as recruitment (R) divided by egg production. A false decreasing trend wa...

This paper describes a machine learning method, called Regression by Selecting Best Feature Projections (RSBFP). In the training phase, RSBFP projects the training data on each feature dimension and aims to find the predictive power of each feature attribute by constructing simple linear regression lines, one per each continuous feature and number of categories per each categorical feature. Bec...

The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach based on the Least Squares Error method for estimating the unknown parameters of the nonlinear 3rd order synchronous generator model. The proposed method uses the mathematical relationships between the machine parameters and on-line input/output measurements to estimate the parameters of the nonlinear state space model. The field voltage is...

One of the most important tasks in quantitative pathology is to elaborate methods which help to In a previous investigation we found that the frac-tal dimension (based on the Minkowski–Bouligand method extended to three dimensions) of nuclear chro-matin was not a prognostic factor in patients with acute precursor B lymphoblastic leukemia [1]. When looking at the log–log plots (area versus ε) co...

In this demo, we present the StreamFitter system for real-time regression analysis on continuous data streams. In order to perform regression on data streams, it is necessary to continuously update the regression model parameters while receiving new data. In this demo, we will present two approaches for on-line, multi-dimensional linear regression analysis of stream data, namely Incremental Mat...

the complexity of urban systems in our recent world, make it difficult to evaluation and explanation of their changes with traditional and customarily methods. in the past, remote sensing has shown an ability to detect and describe urban growth patterns at different spatial scales. with new remote sensing devices (e.g. ikonos), with innovative image processing techniques and with further develo...

CONTEXT Terminal differentiation of the human thyroid is characterized by the onset of follicle formation and thyroid hormone synthesis at 11 gestational weeks (GW). OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the ontogeny of thyroglobulin (Tg), thyroid peroxidase (TPO), sodium/iodide symporter (NIS), pendrin (PDS), dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2), thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), and thyroi...

BACKGROUND Precise renal histopathological diagnosis will guide therapy strategy in patients with lupus nephritis. Blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been applicable noninvasive technique in renal disease. This current study was performed to explore whether BOLD MRI could contribute to diagnose renal pathological pattern. METHODS Adult patients with lupus...
