Systems aiming at discovering interesting knowledge in data, now commonly called data mining systems, are typically employed in nding patterns in a single relational table. Most of mainstream data mining tools are not applicable in the more challenging task of nding knowledge in structured data represented by a multi-relational database. Although a family of methods known as inductive logic pro...

The two current criteria for diagnosis of left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) were evaluated; they are marked left axis deviation (LAD) and a delay in the time of inscription of the intrinsicoid deflection (ID) in lead aVL asynchronous to V6. From 400 electrocardiograms with a LAD of --30 degrees or greater, 62 percent showed asynchronous activation of the left ventricle. There was only a gen...

In this paper we present a general prescription for the prediction of transit vehicle arrival/departure. The prescription identifies the set of activities that are necessary to preform the prediction task, and describes each activity in a component based framework. We identify the three components, a Tracker, a Filter, and a Predictor, necessary to use automatic vehicle location (AVL) data to p...

Microscopic traffic simulation reflects the characteristics of the entire traffic flow by simulating individual vehicles in the transport network. Therefore, in the microscopic simulation, before a vehicle make behavioural changes, it needs to get the information from surroundings (especially information from its adjacent vehicles) in time. In a large-scale traffic simulation system, the query ...

PurPose: The Adaptation to Age-related Vision Loss (AVL) scale was developed to measure the adjustment of older adults who are adapting to late-life vision loss. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the AVL scale satisfies the Rasch model in a cataract population. Methods: The 24-item AVL scale (18 negatively and 6 positively coded) was mailed to 436 cataract patients for self-admini...

The purpose of this thesis is to study the available technologies for Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and dynamic fleet management systems and to determine the benefits of such systems in commercial transportation. The main focus of the research is on freight transportation. An AVL and dynamic fleet management system is an assembly of positioning, communication and information subsystems. The ...

Vestibular damage can induce locomotor abnormalities in both animals and humans. Rodents with bilateral vestibular loss showed vestibular deficits syndrome such as circling, opisthotonus as well as locomotor and exploratory hyperactivity. Previous studies have investigated the changes in the dopamine system after vestibular loss, but the results are inconsistent and inconclusive. Numerous evide...
