Case report. An immunocompetent 66-year-old man was admitted to a local hospital with fever and severe amnesia without a rash. T2-weighted MRI revealed symmetric hyperintense lesions in the bilateral medial temporal lobes. Magnetic resonance angiography showed no abnormalities. CSF analysis revealed 14 leukocytes/mm and protein and glucose concentrations of 34 mg/dL and 79 mg/dL, respectively. ...

This paper is aimed to investigate some computational aspects of different isoperimetric problems on weighted trees. In this regard, we consider different connectivity parameters called minimum normalized cuts/isoperimteric numbers defined through taking minimum of the maximum or the mean of the normalized outgoing flows from a set of subdomains of vertices, where these subdomains constitute a ...

Background Recently, nutrition support was implemented as a part of clinical services in hospitals. The implementation of nutrition support needs to be assessed for its improvement. Objective This study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess the state of nutrition support in Iranian hospitals. Methods A mixed method approach was used in this study. This study was performed ...

The main objective of this paper is to solve the problem of finding graphs on which the spectral clustering method and the normalized cut produce different partitions. To this end, we derive formulae for minimum normalized cut for graphs in some classes such as paths, cycles, complete graphs, double-trees, lollipop graphs LPn,m, roach type graphs Rn,k and weighted paths Pn,k.

Abstract This paper suggests a fuzzy MCDM (multiple criteria decision-making) approach, where ratings of alternatives versus criteria and weights of criteria are assessed in fuzzy numbers or linguistic values represented by fuzzy numbers. Criteria are classified into cost and benefit ones. In the proposed method, the ratings assigned by decision makers to each alternative versus each criterion ...

Weighted distance measure and discriminative training are two different approaches to enhance VQ-based solutions for speaker identification. To account for varying importance of the LPC coefficients in SV, the so-called partition normalized distance measure successfully used normalized feature components. This paper introduces an alternative, called heuristic weighted distance, to lift up highe...

This dissertation deals with the problem of characterizing the controllers which are potentially optimal in the robustness optimization for (weighted) normalized coprime factor/gap metric uncertainty, which is the basis for the H1 Loop Shaping Design Method. This dissertation considers single-input-single-output systems. Given a plant P and a stabilizing controller C, we ask if C can be obtaine...
