BACKGROUND The objective of the study is to examine the effect of trabeculectomy on intraocular lens power calculations in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) undergoing cataract surgery. DESIGN The design is retrospective data analysis. PARTICIPANTS There are a total of 55 eyes of 55 patients with OAG who had a cataract surgery alone or in combination with trabeculectomy. METHODS We ...

the quality of wastewater generated in any process industry is generally indicated by performance indices namely bod, cod and toc, expressed in mg/l. the use of toc as an analytica parameter has become more common in recent years especially for the treatment of industrial wastewater. in this study, several empirical relationships were established between bod and cod with toc using regression an...

Visual field (VF) data were retrospectively obtained from 491 eyes in 317 patients with open angle glaucoma who had undergone ten VF tests (Humphrey Field Analyzer, 24-2, SITA standard). First, mean of total deviation values (mTD) in the tenth VF was predicted using standard linear regression of the first five VFs (VF1-5) through to using all nine preceding VFs (VF1-9). Then an 'intraocular pre...

Penalized regression methods have recently gained enormous attention in statistics and the field of machine learning due to their ability of reducing the prediction error and identifying important variables at the same time. Numerous studies have been conducted for penalized regression, but most of them are limited to the case when the data are independently observed. In this paper, we study a ...

With the increase in energy demand, extreme climates have gained increasing attention. Ice disasters on transmission lines can cause gap discharge and icing flashover electrical failures, which can lead to mechanical failure of the tower, conductor, and insulators, causing significant harm to people’s daily life and work. To address this challenge, an intelligent combinational model is proposed...

Purpose: Proprioception is a part of the somatosensory system responsible for sending information to the central nervous system to monitor the status of various body parts relative to each another. One of the main causes of impaired proprioception is fatigue. In the following study, the effects of fatigue on quadriceps muscle and hence on knee proprioception in healthy subjects was studied.&nbs...

in this article, we propose and analyze a computational method for numerical solution of general two point boundary value problems. method is tested on problems to ensure the computational eciency. we have compared numerical results with results obtained by other method in literature. we conclude that propose method is computationally ecient and eective.

We investigate ensemble learning methods for hybrid music recommenders, combining a social and a content-based recommender algorithm in an initial experiment by applying a simple combination rule to merge recommender results. A first experiment suggests that such a combination can reduce the mean absolute prediction error compared to the used recommenders’ individual errors.

The major prevailing challenges for Software Projects are Software Estimations like cost estimation, effort estimation, quality estimation and risk analysis. Though there are several algorithmic cost estimation models in practice, each model has its own pros and cons for estimation. There is still a need to find a model that gives accurate estimates. This paper is an attempt to experiment diffe...
