This paper presents a new algorithm of decision rules with oblique conditions induction. It bases on the Fisher’s Linear Discriminant Analysis as a tool of finding an initial classes separation. This technique has a good ability of oblique dependencies generalisation what reduces the number of decision rules and their complexities. Keywords—classification, machine learning, Linear Discriminant ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this paper is to review different types of superior oblique muscle surgeries, to describe the main areas in clinical practice where superior oblique surgery is required or preferred, and to discuss the preferred types of superior oblique surgery with respect to their clinical outcomes. METHODS A consecutive nonrandomized retrospective series of patients who had under...

In the paper proposed we will make use of the gradient flow approach to consider a generalization of the well-known oblique Procrustes rotation problem, involving oblique simple structure rotation of both the core and component matrices resulting from three-mode factor analysis. The standard oblique Procrustes rotations to specified factor-structure and factor-pattern follw as special cases. Th...

We propose novel RH-metamaterial structure of the Z-chip for improving the oblique incidence characteristics as an electromagnetic wave absorber. The basic characteristics of a wave absorber using a Z-chip is calculated by FDTD simulation at an oblique incidence. To demonstrate the efficiencies of the chip, a unit cell like a Z-chip was introduced to an actual computer controlled metamaterial e...

The purpose of the study was to assess the diagnostic potential of the axial oblique view in acute ankle injury prospectively. This was an exploratory study and objectives were to determine the radiographic features that the axial oblique view demonstrates better than the mortise view. To compare axial oblique view and mortise view in fracture evaluation and assessment of ankle stability. 60 Pa...

OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to quantify the in vitro range of motion (ROM) of oblique as compared with anterior lumbar interbody devices, pullout resistance, and subsidence in fatigue. METHODS Anterior and oblique cages with integrated plate fixation (IPF) were tested using lumbar motion segments. Flexibility tests were conducted on the intact segments, cage, cage + IPF, and cage + IP...

Background: In 1991, Wright described a superior oblique expander procedure for browns syndrome and superior overaction with good results. Originally, this procedure has been performed with silicone band expander. The aim of this study was to report the results of treatment of a series of patients with Apattern strabismus associated with overacting superior oblique muscle using the fascia lata ...

The superior oblique tendon sheath syndrome was first described by Brown (I950), who noted that many cases of apparent congenital paresis of the inferior oblique muscle had restricted elevation in adduction on passive duction testing. At operation he observed thickening of the anterior part of the superior oblique tendon sheath, and whern this was stripped away a full range of passive movements...

Brainstem pathology due to infections, infarcts and tumors are common in developing countries, but neuroimaging technology in these resource-poor settings is often limited to single slice, and occasionally spiral, CT. Unlike multislice CT and MRI, single slice and spiral CT are compromised by bone artifacts in the posterior fossa due to the dense petrous bones, often making imaging of the brain...
