Recordings of neural activity, such as EEG, are an inherent mixture of different ongoing brain processes as well as artefacts and are typically characterised by low signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, EEG datasets are often inherently multidimensional, comprising information in time, along different channels, subjects, trials, etc. Additional information may be conveyed by expanding the signal int...

The block-term decompositions (BTD) represent tensors as a linear combination of low multilinear rank terms and can be explicitly related to the Canonical Polyadic decomposition (CPD). In this paper, we introduce SECSI-BTD framework, which exploits connection between two estimate block-terms rank- <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999...

1036 www.thelancet.com Vol 380 September 22, 2012 Currently the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that peripheral catheters do not need to be replaced more frequently than every 72–96 h to reduce the risk of infection and phlebitis in adults. Although results from some observational studies have shown that the risk of phlebitis rises with increasing catheter dwell time, ...

In grammatical error correction (GEC), automatically evaluating system outputs requires gold-standard references, which must be created manually and thus tend to be both expensive and limited in coverage. To address this problem, a referenceless approach has recently emerged; however, previous reference-less metrics that only consider the criterion of grammaticality, have not worked as well as ...

BACKGROUND Use of oral antiseptics decreases the bacterial load in the oral cavity. OBJECTIVE To compare the antimicrobial activity of 3 novel oral antiseptics with that of chlorhexidine, which is considered the "gold standard" of oral hygiene. DESIGN Comparative in vitro study. METHODS Four common oral microorganisms (Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus mutans, Candida albicans, and F...
