We consider a zero-sum stopping game (Dynkin’s game) with a threshold probability criterion in discrete time stochastic processes. We first obtain fundamental characterization of value function of the game and optimal stopping times for both players as the result of the classical Dynkin’s game, but the value function of the game and the optimal stopping time for each player depend upon a thresh...

BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) after contrast-guided interventions is associated with adverse outcomes, but the role of contrast in context renal function less well described for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).MethodsPatients from Michigan TAVR registry between January 2016 and December 2019 were included. AKI was defined using Valve Academic Research Con...

Threshold, 2-monotonic and interval Boolean functions constitute special classes of Boolean functions for which it is easy to decide many problems which are intractable for general Boolean functions. In our article we show that positive interval functions are a proper subset of positive threshold functions. Then we prove one property of 2-monotonic functions which is related to testing whether ...

This article proposes an improved wavelet threshold denoising for laser self-mixing interference signals. The function exhibits smoothness and continuity near the threshold. By replacing hard or soft with threshold, it can eliminate generation of fake peaks due to local oscillation induced by as well loss over-smoothness Compared denoising, theoretical simulations experimental results demonstra...

In the paper we show that there is a close relationship between the energy complexity and the depth of threshold circuits computing any Boolean function although they have completely different physical meanings. Suppose that a Boolean function f can be computed by a threshold circuit C of energy complexity e and hence at most e threshold gates in C output “1” for any input to C. We then prove t...

In this paper, we proposed an algorithm to find the optimal threshold value for denoising an image. A new cost function is designed to find the optimal threshold in every image. The cost function is based on the intuitionistic fuzzy divergence measure of the denoised image and original image. In addition, the intuitionistic fuzzy entropy of denoised image is added to the cost function. This is ...

BACKGROUND Although spontaneous use of the more-affected arm and hand after stroke is an important determinant of participation and quality of life, a number of patients exhibit decreases in use following rehabilitative therapy. A previous neurocomputational model predicted that if the dose of therapy is sufficient to bring performance above a certain threshold, training can be stopped. OBJEC...

the aim of the current study is to investigate hearing function in patients with allergic rhinitis. fifty-eight patients with positive skin prick test (group 1) (116 ears) and    31 subjects with negative skin prick test (62 ears) as group 2 were included. pure tone audiometry at 250,500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 hz and immittance measures, including tympanometry and acoustic reflex tests, wer...
