Many authors have argued that epistemic rationality sometimes comes into conflict with our relationships. Although Sarah Stroud and Simon Keller argue friendships require bad agency, their proposals do not go far enough. I here for a more radical claim—romantic love requires we form beliefs are false. Lovers stand in special position one another; they owe things to another others. Such demands ...

Classification requirements for real-world classification problems are often constrained by a given true positive or false positive rate to ensure that the classification error for the most important class is within a desired limit. For a sufficiently high true positive rate, this may result in the set-point being located somewhere in the flat portion of the ROC curve where the associated false...

background: long-term tunneled catheters are used for the hemodialysis or chemotherapy in many patients. proper placement of the catheter tip could reduce early and late catheter related complications. aim of the present study was to evaluate a new formula for proper placement of tunneled hemodialysis or infusion port device by using an external anatomic landmark. materials and methods: a total...

background: obesity has been associated with several co ‑ morbidities such as diabetes and increased mortality. in general, the use of medication promotes only a modest weight loss in the range of 2 to 10 kg, usually most effective during the first 6 months of therapy; however, studies have shown positive effects on other risk factors such as blood pressure and serum glucose levels, but there...

Counting Bloom Filters (CBFs) are widely employed in many applications for fast membership queries. CBF works on dynamic sets rather than a static set via item insertions and deletions. CBF allows false positive, but not false negative. The Bh-Counting Bloom Filter (Bh-CBF) and Variable Increment Counting Bloom Filter (VI-CBF) are introduced to reduce the false positive probability, but they su...
