Eye, Matter and Interpretation

Exploring the Relationship Between Eye Movements and Electrocardiogram Interpretation Accuracy

Interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECGs) is a complex task involving visual inspection. This paper aims to improve understanding of how practitioners perceive ECGs, and determine whether visual behaviour can indicate differences in interpretation accuracy. A group of healthcare practitioners (n = 31) who interpret ECGs as part of their clinical role were shown 11 commonly encountered ECGs on...

A matter of interpretation: Ambiguous contracts and liquidated damages

Grading and interpretation of white matter hyperintensities using statistical maps.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We aimed to generate rigorous graphical and statistical reference data based on volumetric measurements for assessing the relative severity of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in patients with stroke. METHODS We prospectively mapped WMHs from 2699 patients with first-ever ischemic stroke (mean age=66.8±13.0 years) enrolled consecutively from 11 nationwide stroke cen...

A Condensed Matter Interpretation of Sm Fermions and Gauge Fields

We present the bundle (Aff(3) ⊗ C ⊗ Λ)(R3), with a geometric Dirac equation on it, as a three-dimensional geometric interpretation of the SM fermions. Each (C⊗ Λ)(R3) describes an electroweak doublet. The Dirac equation has a doubler-free staggered spatial discretization on the lattice space (Aff(3)⊗C)(Z3). This space allows a simple physical interpretation as a phase space of a lattice of cell...

Dark matter interpretation of recent electron and positron data.

We analyze the recently released Fermi-LAT data on the sum of electrons and positrons. Compared to a conventional, pre-Fermi, background model, a surprising excess in the several hundred GeV range is found and here we analyze it in terms of dark matter models. We also compare with newly published results from PAMELA and H.E.S.S., and find models giving very good fits to these data sets as well....
