Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Determining the mechanism supraventricular tachycardias with prolonged ventriculoatrial (VA) intervals is sometimes a challenge, because usual diagnostic manoeuvers based on pacing during ongoing tachycardia cannot be performed or do not offer accuracy. Purpose To analyse determinants, time course and accuracy (atypical...

PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of, risk factors for, and visual acuity (VA) correlations with outer retinal tubulation (ORT) seen on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. DESIGN Prospective cohort study within a randomized clinical trial. PARTICI...

In this paper we show that subtle forms of deceit undermine the e¤ectiveness of incentives. We design an experiment in which the principal has an interest in underreporting the true performance di¤erence between the agents in a dynamic tournament. According to the standard approach, rational agents should completely disregard the performance feedback of self-interested principals and choose the...

Excessive use of antibiotics for diarrhoea is a major contributing factor towards increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance in developing countries. Zinc therapy for diarrhoea has been shown to be beneficial in controlled efficacy trials, and it is of interest to determine if availability of zinc syrup for treatment of diarrhoea would satisfy the demand for a 'medicine' for diarrhoea, thus r...

We design a Lyapunov based boundary feedback controller for achieving mixing in a D pipe ow governed by Navier Stokes equations We show that the control law maximizes a measure of mixing that incorporates stretching and folding of material elements while at the same time minimi zing the control e ort and the sensing e ort The penalty on sensing results in a static output feedback control law ra...

FL is the result of an e ort to design a practical functional programming language based on Backus FP This paper provides an introduction to and critique of the FL language The language e ort is analyzed from several points of view language design implementation and user experiences Emphasis is placed on the unusual aspects of FL its strengths and weaknesses and how FL compares with other funct...

This paper presents MODEST, aMethOD to hElp System Testing. MODEST can reduce the overall e ort required during software construction, using an extended design speci cation produced in a UPlike software process. This speci cation is used to automate test generation and execution, decreasing the e ort required during test activities. The method deals with Information Systems that follow an archi...

We propose Asymmetric Best-E ort, a novel service to provide a \throughput versus delay jitter" differentiated service for IP packets. With this service, every best e ort packet is marked as either Green or Blue. Green packets, typically sent by real-time applications such as interactive audio, receive more losses during bouts of congestion than Blue ones. In return, they receive less delay jit...
