Nosocomial Infections: The Definition Criteria

On the Optimal Solution Definition for Many-criteria Optimization Problems

When dealing with many-criteria decision making and many-objectives optimization problems the concepts of Pareto optimality and Pareto-dominance are inefficient in modelling and simulating human decision making. Different fuzzy-based definitions of optimality and dominated solution are introduced and tested on analytical test cases in order to show their validity and closeness to human decision...

The Many Guises of Endometriosis: Giant Abdominal Wall Endometriosis Masquerading as An Incisional Hernia

Endometriosis is defined by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Despite being a lead cause of chronic pelvic pain and infertility, its clinical presentation can vary, leading to diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Extra-pelvic endometriosis is particularly difficult to diagnose owing to its ability to mimic other conditions. Endometrial tissue in a surgical...

A Canonical Definition of Shape

Very general concepts of scatter, extending the traditional notion of covariance matrices, have become classical tools in robust multivariate analysis. In many problems of practical importance (principal components, canonical correlation, testing for sphericity), only homogeneous functions of the scatter matrix are of interest. In line with this fact, scatter functionals often are only defined ...
