Abstract We1 develop Conditional Random Sampling (CRS), a technique particularly suitable for sparse data. In large-scale applications, the data are often highly sparse. CRS combines sketching and sampling in that it converts sketches of the data into conditional random samples online in the estimation stage, with the sample size determined retrospectively. This paper focuses on approximating p...

It is well known that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. In fact, studies have shown that cardiovascular event rates and allcause mortality increase as a function of CKD as determined by decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate and presence of microalbuminuria. In recent years, the term cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) has been proposed t...

BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is becoming increasingly prevalent in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF), as the median age of survival rises for these individuals. Delayed identification of CRS may contribute to worsening health-related quality of life and increased treatment burden. Our objective was to investigate the utility of the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) as a tool t...

We consider the phenomenology of cosmic-rays (CRs) and stress the interest of jointly studying their properties over the whole energy spectrum. While UHECRs are known to raise important physical and astrophysical problems, we recall that low-energy CRs also remain poorly understood, and we indicate the possibly important role of superbubbles in accelerating CRs up to a few EeV. We also investig...

This research in progress is part of a study being submitted for dissertation. The purpose of this study is to determine what types of students will be impacted by Classroom Response Systems (CRS) technology. Additionally, this research explores the nature of the outcomes experienced by students and their perceptions of leading pedagogy and practices for CRS technology in the classroom. An exte...

BACKGROUND Depression has been reported in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), but its prevalence varies across studies, and uncertainty remains regarding the association with baseline disease severity and treatment outcomes. OBJECTIVE To systematically assess the prevalence of depression in CRS and to review its relationship to baseline disease severity and outcomes after treatment. ...

The Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS) is an instrument that measures the centrality, importance, or salience religious meanings in personality. Addressing dearth research on religion among Filipino Christian youths, researchers explore this paper degree religiosity selected university students and relevance beliefs their daily life by validating Abrahamic forms (CRS-5, CRS-10, CRS-15). This...

BACKGROUND In current cardiology practice, the importance of acute cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) in determining the outcome of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is well recognized. Certain groups of ACS patients are at higher risk of developing CRS. Data on the association between right ventricular (RV) functions and CRS after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are scarce. The purpose of ...
