This paper presents a simulation based method to predict the amount of frequency interference in a passive type RFID system. To judge occurrence of frequency interference, we use a parameter POI (probability of interference) that depends on several factors such as multiple access method, emission mask, the number of channel, etc. Due to its dependence on several factors, a Monte-carlo based sim...

We present in this paper an interactive method for numeric or symbolic data visualization that allows a domain expert to extract useful knowledge and information. We propose a new approach based on points of interest (POI) but in the context of visual data mining. POIs are located on a circle, and data are displayed within this circle according to their similarities to these POI. Interactive ac...

Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a critical fertility defect characterized by an anticipated and silent impairment of the follicular reserve, but its pathogenesis is largely unexplained. The frequent maternal inheritance of POI together with a remarkable dependence of ovarian folliculogenesis upon mitochondrial biogenesis and bioenergetics suggested the possible involvement of a generaliz...

BACKGROUND Abdominal surgery involving bowel manipulation commonly results in inflammation of the bowel wall, which leads to impaired intestinal motility and postoperative ileus (POI). Mast cells have shown to play a key role in the pathogenesis of POI in mouse models and human studies. We studied whether mast cells contribute to the pathogenesis of POI by eliciting intestinal barrier dysfuncti...

Primary ovarian insufficiency greatly influences a woman’s fertility potential and her overall health. The condition affects about 1–2 % of women and in most cases, the cause is undefined. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) may be caused by any process that results in dysfunction or depletion of ovarian follicles, reducing the number of oocytes within the ovary. The tendency for POI to run in ...

STUDY QUESTION What is the optimal management of women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) based on the best available evidence in the literature? SUMMARY ANSWER The guideline development group (GDG) formulated 99 recommendations answering 31 key questions on the diagnosis and treatment of women with POI. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY NA. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION This guideline was pro...

Women with autoimmune diseases such as lupus, scleroderma, and vasculitis receiving cyclophosphamide for severe disease manifestations risk primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) due to gonadotoxicity of this therapy. In addition to loss of reproductive potential, POI is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Practitioners caring for women requiring gonadotoxic therapies should...

Point-of-interest (POI) recommendation is an important application for location-based social networks (LBSNs), which learns the user preference and mobility pattern from check-in sequences to recommend POIs. Previous studies show that modeling the sequential pattern of user check-ins is necessary for POI recommendation. Markov chain model, recurrent neural network, and the word2vec framework ar...
