background: fenestration in the modified fontan operation allows right-to-left shunting, which reduces the fontan pathway pressure and improves cardiac output. however, on account of the fact that persistent right-to-left shunting results in cyanosis and paradoxical emboli, fenestration closure is recommended after recovery from the fontan operation. methods: this study recruited 3 patients who...

Raman spectroscopy has been used extensively to calculate CO 2 fluid density in many geological environments, based on the measurement of Fermi diad split (Δ; cm –1 ) spectrum. While recent research allowed calibration several densimeters, there is a limit interlaboratory application published equations. These two classes values for same measured Δ, with deviation 0.09 ± 0.02 g/cm 3 average. To...

Efficient tuberculosis treatment requires the use of good quality medicines. The present study developed a method of dosage by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) coupled with the dissolution of a combination of fixed doses of four anti-tuberculous (Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol Hydrochlorate, Rifampicine). The elaborated protocol was thereafter used to assess the quality of med...

A new stochastic mode-elimination procedure is introduced for a class of deterministic systems. Under assumptions of ergodicity and mixing, the procedure gives closed-form stochastic models for the slow variables in the limit of infinite separation of timescales. The procedure is applied to the truncated Burgers–Hopf (TBH) system as a test case where the separation of timescale is only approxim...

Normal approximation confidence intervals are used in most commercial statistical package because they are easy to compute. However, the performance of such procedures could be poor when the sample size is not large or when there is heavy censoring. A transformation can be applied to avoid having confidence interval endpoints fall outside the parameter space and otherwise improves performance, ...

It has been repeatedly conjectured that the brain retrieves statistical regularities from stimuli, so that their structural features are separated from noise. Here we present a new statistical approach allowing to address this conjecture. This approach is based on a new class of stochastic processes driven by context tree models. Also, it associates to a new experimental protocol in which struc...

This thesis describes the development of statistical models to determine the relationships between vegetation indices and bush bean plant nitrogen stress levels thereby help early detection of bush bean nutritional stress. Two approaches, statistical analysis by SAS procedure and genetic algorithm (GA) were employed. Polynomial regression was used to fit data under all possible two-bands combin...
