PURPOSE To compare the depth of sedation determined by Ramsay sedation scale (RSS) with electroencephalogram-based bispectral index (BIS) and patient state index (PSI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty mechanically ventilated cardiac surgical patients undergoing propofol and morphine sedation were assessed hourly for up to 6 hours or until tracheal extubation using the BIS, PSI, and RSS. Correlati...

Achieving perceptual gains in healthy individuals or facilitating rehabilitation in patients is generally considered to require intense training to engage neuronal plasticity mechanisms. Recent work, however, suggested that beneficial outcome similar to training can be effectively acquired by a complementary approach in which the learning occurs in response to mere exposure to repetitive sensor...

Merging related RSS news (coming from one or different sources) is beneficial for end-users with different backgrounds (journalists, economists, etc.), particularly those accessing similar information. In this paper, we provide a practical approach to both: measure the relatedness, and identify relationships between RSS elements. Our approach is based on the concepts of semantic neighborhood an...

This paper presents a new approach and a software for collecting specialized corpora on the Web. This approach takes advantage of a very popular XML-based norm used on the Web for sharing content among websites: RSS (Really Simple Syndication). After a brief introduction to RSS, we explain the interest of this type of data sources in the framework of corpus development. Finally, we present Corp...

This paper deals with axiomatization problems for varieties of residuated meet semilattice-ordered monoids (RSs). An internal characterization of the finitely subdirectly irreducible RSs is proved, and it is used to investigate the varieties of RSs within which the finitely based subvarieties are closed under finite joins. It is shown that a variety has this closure property if its finitely sub...

The problem of hypothesis testing of the location parameter of the two-parameter exponential distribution and scale parameter of the pareto and uniform distribution are considered. We construct the test statistics based on Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) and Extreme RSS (ERSS) and compared their powers to the power of Uniformly Most Powerful (UMP) test by numerical computation. The results show that ...

Tens of thousands of news articles are posted on-line each day, covering topics from politics to science to current events. To better cope with this overwhelming volume of information, RSS (news) feeds are used to categorize newly posted articles. Nonetheless, most RSS users must filter through many articles within the same or different RSS feeds to locate articles pertaining to their particula...

WLAN (WiFi) RSS database for fingerprinting positioning This data set contains two WLAN Received Signal Strengths (RSS) databases suitable for fingerprinting positioning. One database contains training data (Training_rss.csv, Training_coordinates.csv), the radio map, the second database contains test data (Test_rss.csv, Test_coordinates.csv), RSS measurements on a path and the coordinates of th...
