BACKGROUND Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) recurrence and functional outcome from long-term follow-up is not well delineated. The purpose of this study is to compare these functional variables between ESUS vs. cardioembolic stroke (CS) patients. METHODS We analyzed data of consecutive ESUS and CS patients from our institutional database, from January 2003 until April 2015. The en...

Species closely related to the human pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) have recently been found to cause zoonotic infections, posing a public health threat especially in the case of tetracycline resistant Chlamydia suis (Cs) strains. These strains acquired a tet(C)-containing cassette via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Genomes of 11 Cs strains from various tissues were sequenced to reconstru...

This paper presents a tutorial for CS applications in communications networks. The Shannon’s sampling theorem states that to recover a signal, the sampling rate must be as least the Nyquist rate. Compressed sensing (CS) is based on the surprising fact that to recover a signal that is sparse in certain representations, one can sample at the rate far below the Nyquist rate. Since its inception in...

cesarean section (cs) is a relatively safe procedure, performed for different maiernal and fetal indications. despite complications of general anesthesia, post-operative infections, and thromboembolic events, cs is being performed with increasing frequency. in this study, we have examined the indications and complications of cs's performed in arash hospital from december 1993 to november 1...

In this paper, we propose an optimal fault tolerant broadcasting algorithm which requires only n + 1 steps for an SIMD hypercube with up to n-1 faulty nodes. The basic idea of the proposed algorithm is first to find a fault-free subcube (CS) which contains the source node (S) such that each neighboring subcube of the subcube CS contains at least one fault. N e d , the message is broadcast along...

Read all questions carefully. Answer all questions in the space provided. You may use scratch paper to do your work but only answers recorded on the test paper will be graded. Be as concise as possible. Note: the questions on this sample are all questions asked on past midterms, but this sample is longer than an hour test. Also, some of these questions turned out to be not great, so I probably ...

Volumetric imaging of the Optic Nerve Head (ONH) morphometry with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) requires dense sampling and relatively long acquisition times. Compressive Sampling (CS) is an emerging technique to reduce volume acquisition time with minimal image degradation by sparsely sampling the object and reconstructing the missing data in software. In this report, we demonstrated real...
