RGP is genetic programming system based on, as well as fully integrated into, the R environment. The system implements classical tree-based genetic programming as well as other variants including, for example, strongly typed genetic programming and Pareto genetic programming. It strives for high modularity through a consistent architecture that allows the customization and replacement of every ...

BACKGROUND Migration of a rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens after trauma is rare, and its clinical characteristics have not been fully discussed. CASE PRESENTATION A 36-year-old female showed mild swelling in the right upper eyelid. She lost her RGP contact lens seven months prior to her first visit, from trauma by her child's kick to the right eye. At the first examination, we felt a fi...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of rigid gas-permeable contact lenses (RGPs) and soft contact lenses (SCLs) on myopia progression in children. METHODS We randomly assigned 116 subjects to wear RGPs or SCLs. Subjects underwent cycloplegic autorefraction, keratometry, and A-scan ultrasonographic axial length measurements at each annual visit. All analyses were conducted according to the origin...

Regulators around the world are pushing for a higher representation of females on corporate boards. While this move reduces representation-based gender gap (RGP), less is known how may affect compensation-based (CGP). Using 56,976 director-year observations mandatory quota law imposed in Indian market, we find that significant reduction RGP post-gender period comes at cost substantial increase ...

We are given a rectangle R in the plane and a nite set P of n points in the interior of R. A rectangular partition of R is a partition of the surface of R into smaller rectangles. A rectangular partition is said to be feasible with respect to P if no points in P lie in the strict interior of any rectangle of the partition. The length of a rectangular partition is computed as the sum of the leng...

To investigate the role of β-adrenergic mechanisms in the counterregulatory response of the liver and kidney to hypoglycemia, we studied 10 dogs before and after a 2-h constant infusion of insulin (4 mU ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ min-1) either without ( n = 4) or with (8 μg/min, n = 6) propranolol and variable dextrose to maintain hypoglycemia, 7 days after surgical placement of sampling catheters in left renal ...

Human cutaneous malignant melanoma progresses through a series of well defined clinical and histopathological stages. It has been assumed that the neoplastic progression of this disease advances from a common acquired nevus or dysplastic nevus through the primary radial growth phase (RGP), primary vertical growth phase (VGP), and finally to distant metastasis. However, it has never been directl...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the most common causes of viral deaths in infants worldwide, yet no effective vaccines are available. Here, we report an osmotically active polysaccharide-based polysorbitol transporter (PST) prepared from sorbitol diacrylate and low-molecular-weight polyethylenimine (PEI) showing a potent, yet safe, adjuvant activity and acting as an effective delive...

This study investigates the influences of recycled waste glass powder (RGP) on carbonation behaviour sodium carbonate activated ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) mortars. The effect activator dosages, types and RGP addition resistance to are evaluated. results indicate a high dosage or water combination as always can enhance ability carbonation. Furthermore, 30% in GGBS binder system ...
