Major and minor criteria for gastric dystemperaments in Persian Medicine: Sari gastric dystemperament criteria-I (SGDC-I)

Major and minor diagnostic criteria of liver dystemperament in Iranian Traditional Medicine: A Qualitative Study

Introduction: Liver dystemperament is one of the main concepts of Iranian Traditional Medicine. However, the significance of its diagnostic criteria is not clear. The purpose of this study is to determine the major and minor diagnostic criteria of liver dystemperament in Iranian Traditional Medicine. Methods: This study is a qualitative study based on a hybrid model or a combination of theoret...

Generalised Bent Criteria for Boolean Functions (I)

Generalisations of the bent property of a boolean function are presented, by proposing spectral analysis with respect to a well-chosen set of local unitary transforms. Quadratic boolean functions are related to simple graphs and it is shown that the orbit generated by successive Local Complementations on a graph can be found within the transform spectra under investigation. The flat spectra of ...

Endoscopic therapy for early gastric cancers - from EMR to ESD, from guideline criteria to expanded criteria.

In the late 1990s the development of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using different knives revolutionized the spectrum of endoscopic resection techniques allowing en bloc resections regardless of the lesion’s size [5] . In combination with new data on the risk of lymph node metastases in early gastric cancer resection, criteria could be extended [6, 7] . The so-called expanded criteria ...

Performance Parameters I: Defining Performance Criteria

Today’s ultrasound imaging systems produce better images and display more information than it was possible to display 30 years ago. Similarly, performance criteria for ultrasound imaging systems and the tools used to make these measurements have evolved, and have become more complex. This presentation will informally discuss a few examples of the evolution of ultrasound imaging systems and perf...

Valuated Matroid Intersection I: Optimality Criteria

The independent assignment problem (or the weighted matroid intersection problem) is extended using Dress-Wenzel’s matroid valuations, which are attached to the vertex set of the underlying bipartite graph as an additional weighting. Specifically, the problem considered is: Given a bipartite graph G = (V , V −;A) with arc weight w : A → R and matroid valuations ω and ω− on V + and V − respectiv...
