The tear trough ligament: anatomical basis for the tear trough deformity.

BACKGROUND The exact anatomical cause of the tear trough remains undefined. This study was performed to identify the anatomical basis for the tear trough deformity. METHODS Forty-eight cadaveric hemifaces were dissected. With the skin over the midcheek intact, the tear trough area was approached through the preseptal space above and prezygomatic space below. The origins of the palpebral and o...

Patient-reported non-adherence and immunosuppressant trough levels are associated with rejection after renal transplantation

BACKGROUND Different measures of non-adherence to immunosuppressant (IS) medication have been found to be associated with rejection episodes after successful transplantation. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether graft rejection after renal transplantation is associated with patient-reported IS medication non-adherence and IS trough level variables (IS trough level variability...

Differential Privacy Trough Knowledge Refinement

We introduce a novel mechanism to attain differential privacy. Contrary to the common mechanism based on the addition of a noise whose magnitude is proportional to the sensitivity of the query function, our proposal is based on the refinement of the user’s prior knowledge about the response. We show that our mechanism has several advantages over noise addition: it does not require complex compu...

Electrical Conductivity in Deep–trough Hydroponics

A model is presented that predicts pH and electrical conductivity (EC) changes in the root zone of lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv. Vivaldi) grown in a deep–trough hydroponic system. A feedforward neural network is the basis of that modeling. The neural network model has nine inputs (pH, EC, nutrient solution temperature, air temperature, relative humidity, light intensity, plant age, amount of adde...
