Computing and Information systems in 1986 to encourage NASA Johnson Space Center and local industry to actively support research in the computing and information sciences. As part of this endeavor, UH-Ciear Lake proposed a partnership with JSC to jointly define and manage an integrated program of research in advanced data processing technology needed for JSC's main missions, including administr...

BACKGROUND In the absence of major contraindications, treatment guidelines recommend that, following a major traumatic event, all patients receive low molecular weight heparin (e.g. enoxaparin) as thromboprophylaxis for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). OBJECTIVE To estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness of enoxaparin versus low dose unfractionated heparin (UH) for the prophy...

The Computer Graphics and Interactive Media Lab (CGIM) (http://graphics.cs.uh.edu) at the University of Houston (UH) was founded by Dr. Zhigang Deng in October 2006. Its focused research directions include 3D Computer Graphics, computer animation, virtual human modeling and animation, human computer interaction, and medical/scientific visualization. The UH CGIM Lab is equipped with a stateof-th...

BACKGROUND Patients with mechanical heart valves require life-long anticoagulation. We report here the first large and comparative series of consecutive patients anticoagulated with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) after mechanical heart valve replacement. METHODS AND RESULTS In this comparative, nonrandomized study, 208 consecutive patients who underwent a single or double heart valve rep...

An oscillatory S-curve causes unexpected fluctuations in a unit hydrograph (UH) of desired duration or an instantaneous UH (IUH) that may affect the constraints for hydrologic stability. On other hand, Savitzky–Golay smoothing and differentiation filter (SG filter) is digital known to smooth data without distorting signal tendency. The present study proposes method based on SG cope with S-curve...

We show that if cov(M) = κ, where κ is a regular cardinal such that ∀λ < κ(2 ≤ κ), then for every unbounded directed family H of size κ there is an ultrafilter UH such that the relativized Mathias forcing M(UH) preserves the unboundedness of H. This improves a result of M. Canjar (see [4, Theorem 10]). We discuss two instances of generic ultrafilters for which the relativized Mathias forcing pr...

The Unaccusativity Hypothesis (UH) holds that intransitive verbs are divided into two broad classes, namely unaccusatives and unergatives. While there is evidence that the UH holds cross-linguistically, it is known that languages do not divide the intransitives into two uniform groups. We investigate the unaccusative-unergative distinction in Turkish by an offline grammaticality judgment task u...

The direct numerical solution of a non-convex variational problem (P ) typically faces the difficulty of the finite element approximation of rapid oscillations. Although the oscillatory discrete minimisers are properly related to corresponding Young measures and describe real physical phenomena, they are costly and difficult to compute. In this work, we treat the scalar double-well problem by n...
