The relationship between the gyre-scale circulation of the North Atlantic, represented by air pressure near to the centre of the sub-tropical gyre, and sea level measured at the eastern boundary of the ocean has been investigated using records commencing in the middle of the 18th century. These time series are twice as long as those employed in an earlier study of this relationship. Near-contin...

The shoreline is one of the most important features on earth’s surface. It is valuable to a diverse user community. But the dynamic nature of the shorelinemakes it difŽ cult to be represented in a naturally dynamic style and to be utilized in applications.The ofŽ cially usedshoreline,for examplein nauticalcharts,is the so-calledtide-coordinatedshoreline. It is also the shoreline that makes the ...

OBJECTIVE the objective of this study was to present an analog method for preoperative planning of primary total hip arthroplasty procedures based on measuring the components by overlaying the transparencies of the prosthesis on the preoperative radiographs and checking the accuracy, both for predicting the size of the acetabular and femoral components used and for restoring the offset and corr...

One central problem in science and engineering is predicting unseen outcome via relevant knowledge gained from data, where accuracy of generalization is the key. In the context of classification, we argue that higher generalization accuracy is achievable via ψ-learning, when a certain class of non-convex rather than convex cost functions are employed. To deliver attainable higher generalization...

Ever since the first fishermen ventured into the sea, tides have been the subject of intense human observation. As a result computational models and ‘tide predicting machines’, mechanical computers for predicting tides have been developed over 100 years ago. In this work we propose a statistical model for short-term prediction of sea levels at high tide in the tide influenced part of the Weser ...

We prove two variants of Kolmogorov’s strong law of large numbers in a completely worst-case framework, eschewing any probabilistic assumptions. The first variant is an assertion about a game involving the Bookmaker predicting the values of unprobabilized random variables; in an intuitive sense it is much stronger than the usual strong law of large numbers for martingales. The second variant is...

BACKGROUND Alcohol consumption contributes to a significant proportion of disease and the high prevalence amongst young adults is a worldwide health concern. PURPOSE To determine which aspects of executive function (EF) distinguish binge-drinkers from non binge-drinkers and to establish the role of EF in predicting behaviour. METHODS Self-report questionnaires, four tests of self-regulation...
