We explored a series of feature selection methods for modelbased Reinforcement Learning (RL). More specifically, we explored four common correlation metrics and based on them, we proposed the fifth one named Weighed Information Gain (WIG). While much existing correlation-based feature selection methods mostly explored high correlation by default, we explored two options: High vs. Low. The forme...

The standard technique to attack triple encryption is the meet-in-the-middle attack. In this paper, more eecient attacks are presented. Compared to meet-in-the-middle, our attacks either greatly reduce the number of single encryptions to be done, or somewhat reduce the overall number of steps. Especially, about 2 108 steps of computation are suucient to break three-key triple DES. If one concen...

the triple factorization of a group $g$ has been studied recently showing that $g=aba$ for some proper subgroups $a$ and $b$ of $g$, the definition of rank-two geometry and rank-two coset geometry which is closely related to the triple factorization was defined and calculated for abelian groups. in this paper we study two infinite classes of non-abelian finite groups $d_{2n}$ and $psl(2,2^{n})$...

background: the prevalence of hip dysplasia is 1 in 1000. several pelvic osteotomy methods have been developed to prevent early osteoarthritis, such as triple osteotomy. in this study we are going to introduce our new technique that was done on 4 patients with favorable short-term results.   methods: four patients underwent triple osteotomy and fixation using a reconstruction plate and early we...

purpose: to assess the results of combined penetrating keratoplasty and cataract extraction by extracapsular extraction versus phacoemulsification and to compare outcomes and complications. methods: in this interventional retrospective study, 76 eyes that had undergone triple surgery were included. cataract surgery was done in two different methods of extracapsular extraction and phacoemulsific...

background: evaluating the landmarks for rotation of the distal femur is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. although the posterior femoral condyle axis is a good landmark for surgeons, the surgical transepicondylar axis may be a better option with the help of preoperative ct scanning. the purpose of this study was to ascertain relationships among the axes’ guiding distal femur rotational alig...

background:  distal femur wedge osteotomies for varus or valgus alignment of the lower extremity could be done in either uniplanar or biplanar fashion.:union: time and stability of the osteotomy site has been considered important in this anatomic region. in this study, clinical and radiographic findings of biplane distal femur osteotomy were reported. methods: clinical, functional, and radiolog...
