? Abstract. In this paper we deene a special class of graph rewrite systems for program analysis: edge addition rewrite systems (Ears). Ears can be applied to distributive data-ow frameworks over nite lattices Hec77] RSH94], as well as many other program analysis problems. We also present some techniques for optimized evaluation of Ears. They show that Ears are very well suited for generating e...

Objective: We used volumetric three-dimensional (3D) analysis to quantitatively evaluate the extent of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in entire inner ear. tested for correlations between planimetric and measurements, identify their advantages disadvantages. Methods: HYDROPS2-Mi2 EH images were acquired 32 ears (16 patients): 16 ipsilateral MD patients (MD-ears) contralateral ears. Three-T MR unit w...

The Early Aberration Reporting System (EARS) is used by some local health departments (LHDs) to monitor emergency room and clinic data for disease outbreaks. Using actual chief complaint data from local public health clinics, we evaluate how EARS—both the baseline system distributed by the CDC and two variants implemented by one LHD—perform at locally detecting the 2009 influenza A H1N1 pandemi...

one of the complications of end-stage renal disease (esrd) is sensorineural hearing loss (snhl). despite large number of studies on adults esrd patients, there are only a few reported surveys regarding snhl in children. to determine the prevalence of snhl in children with esrd and its relationship with sex of patients, presence of hypertension, history of ototoxic drugs administration and durat...
