SIMULTANEOUS HERNIOPLASTY UNDER GENERAL SURGERY CLINIC CONDITIONS

Inguinal mesh hernioplasty under local anaesthesia.

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of operative and post-operative complications of Mesh hernioplasty for inguinal hernia under local anaesthesia and assess its safety. METHODS This prospective study was conducted at Surgical Unit II, Liaquat University Hospital, Jamshoro, from January 2008 to October 2009. Only male patients between 20-65 years, having reducible direct or indirect complete...

Adaptive linear procedures under general conditions

Under mild condit ions on the observat ion processes the almost sure convergence propert ies of l inear stochastic approximation are summarized for least squares and for some of its applications: adapt ive filtering, echo cancellation, detection of binary data in Gaussian noise, identification, and linear classification.

Closest Moment Estimation under General Conditions

This paper considers Closest Moment (CM) estimation with a general distance function, and avoids the assumption of nonsingular quadratic local behavior. The results of Manski (1983), Newey (1988), Pötscher and Prucha (1997), and de Jong and Han (2002) are obtained as special cases. Consistency and a root-n rate of convergence are obtained under mild conditions on the distance function and on th...

Two-Sample Quantile Tests Under General Conditions

Regularity under Sharp Anisotropic General Growth Conditions

We prove boundedness of minimizers of energy-functionals, for instance of the anisotropic type (1.1) below, under sharp assumptions on the exponents pi in terms of p ∗: the Sobolev conjugate exponent of p; i.e., p∗ = np n−p , 1 p = 1 n Pn i=1 1 pi . As a consequence, by mean of regularity results due to Lieberman [21], we obtain the local Lipschitz-continuity of minimizers under sharp assumptio...
