BACKGROUND People with serious mental illness (SMI) (psychosis, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder) experience a considerable risk of premature mortality because of cardiovascular disease. Recent research has demonstrated that this population spends almost 13 h per day being sedentary. Sedentary behaviour is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Given ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the distribution of biometric parameters and corneal astigmatism using the IOLMaster device before phacoemulsification in cataract patients in Central China. METHODS Consecutive cataract patients were recruited at the Central Hospital of Wuhan between January 2015 and June 2016. Ocular axial length (AL), keratometry values, anterior chamber depth (ACD) and horizontal co...

OBJECTIVES To assess the agreement of anterior segment parameter measurements derived from Aladdin optical biometer using optical low coherence interferometer and Sirius corneal topography using combined Scheimpflug-Placido disk. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data obtained using the Aladdin and Sirius systems from 110 eyes of 59 subjects who had no health problems other than refractive errors were re...

Abstract Near-real-time event detection is crucial for water utilities to be able detect failure events in their treatment works (WTW) quickly and efficiently. This paper presents a new method an automated, near-real-time recognition of at WTWs by the application combined statistical process control machine-learning techniques. The resulting novel hybrid CUSUM system (HC-ERS) uses two distinct ...

We present a system, WatchTheWatchers or wtw, that enables a web user to monitor how much information web servers and other entities might be able to collect and store about her. It accomplishes this by examining and storing cookies, form data, and request patterns. Here we present a design and describe the current partial implementation.

Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is used to find alignments between two related streams of information and can be used to link data, recognise patterns or find similarities. Typically, DTW requires the complete series of both input streams in advance and has quadratic time and space requirements. As such DTW is unsuitable for real-time applications and is inefficient for aligning long sequences. We p...

purpose: to determine the distribution of axial length (al), vitreous chamber depth (vcd), anterior chamber depth (acd), lens thickness (lt), lens power (lp), radius of curvature (cr), and white-to-white corneal diameter (wtw) in the 14-20 year age range methods: in a cross-sectional study, sampling was done from aligoodarz high schools using multistage simple cluster sampling. for all students...

In this paper, we define a new concept of factorization for a bounded bilinear mapping $f:Xtimes Yto Z$, depended on  a natural number $n$ and a cardinal number $kappa$; which is called $n$-factorization property of level $kappa$. Then we study the relation between $n$-factorization property of  level $kappa$ for $X^*$ with respect to $f$ and automatically boundedness and $w^*$-$w^*$-continuity...

The role of B1 in the dual nature of ARS in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Patricia Chisamore-Robert Advisor: University of Guelph, 2012 Dr. K Yankulov In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, DNA replication initiates at distinct origins termed Autonomously Replicating Sequences (ARSs). A key element in ARS is the ACS/B1 sequence, which binds the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC). During early G1 phase, the pre-...
