Abstract Although pituitary adenomas (PAs) are common intracranial tumors, literature evaluating the utility of comorbidity indices for predicting perioperative complications in patients undergoing surgery remains limited, thereby hindering development complex models that aim to identify high-risk patient populations. Accordingly, we utilized comparative modeling strategies evaluate predictive ...

In this paper we describe the contents and the method of production of the ACL European Corpus Initiative Multilingual Corpus 1 (ECI/MC1). This is a large multilingual electronic text corpus, containing 97 million words in 27 (mainly European) languages. It is available cheaply on CDROM. Most of the texts in the corpus are marked up using a fully-validated SGML document type description based o...

In this note we identify and clarify a confusion that has arisen in the literature about the exact relationship between unitary and collective models and what enters the Pareto weight and the sharing function. We suggest that we should denote as ‘unitary’ any model that leads to outcomes that satisfy the Slutsky conditions whether or not these outcomes depend on distribution factors. In particu...

BACKGROUND There is less data available regarding the characteristics of cognitive impairment in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in a population-based series. METHODOLOGY Patients with ALS incident in Piemonte, Italy, between 2009 and 2011 underwent an extensive neuropsychological battery. Cognitive status was classified as follows: normal cognition, frontotemporal dementia ...

Event causality identification (ECI) aims to identify the causal relationship between events, which plays a crucial role in deep text understanding. Due diversity of real-world events and difficulty obtaining sufficient training data, existing ECI approaches have poor generalizability struggle relation seldom seen events. In this paper, we propose utilize both external knowledge internal analog...

The key components of an Electricity Critical Infrastructure (ECI) are the elements system required to permanently provide services with a certain performance level. In case disruptive events effects on these elements, security factor is their robustness, which important determinant element resilience. Current methods can already assess static level resilience but as yet unable creating dynamic...

The design- and construction stage of large projects are often two separate fragmented processes. Early contractor involvement (ECI) is a project delivery method where the goal to include knowledge into design phase. This done by procuring during phase project. There different approaches which time introduced. research paper aims investigate optimal for contractors enter infrastructure projects...

Abstract Recent literature has highlighted the association of frailty with significantly higher rates morbidity and mortality in patients CNS neoplasms. However, there is a paucity research regarding effects as it relates to neurocutaneous disorders, namely NF1. In this study we evaluated role NF1 compared its predictive utility that Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (ECI). Namely, used Nationwide R...
