Outlier detection in mixed attribute datasets has proved to be a challenging task required in real world applications. Most existing algorithms for outlier detection do not consider the interactions between categorical and numerical attributes. The Pattern based Outlier Detection (POD) algorithm (Zhang & Jin, 2011), has had considerable success in the detecting outliers by analysing such intera...

Non-catalytic direct electron transfer (DET) signal of Compound I of horseradish peroxidase (POD) was first detected at 0.7 V on POD/carbon nanotube mixture-modified electrodes. Excellent performance of DET-type bioelectrocatalysis was achieved with POD immobilized with glutaraldehyde on Ketjen Black (KB)-modified electrodes for H2O2 reduction with an onset potential of 0.65 V (vs. Ag | AgCl | ...

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic, non-invasive ventilation (NIV) on respiratory function in seven- to 16-year-old children in the post-operative phase of cardiac surgery. Method A randomized, controlled trial with 50 children who had undergone cardiac surgery with median sternotomy. After extubation, patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group (n...

Changes in peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activities were studied during Chimonanthus praecox seed maturation. According to our findings the protein content increased steadily from 8 to 12 weeks after flowering, and thereafter decreased significantly. Similarly, SOD and POD activities increased gradually up to 12 weeks after fl...

The robust power oscillation damper (POD) design for doubly fed inducting generator (DFIG) based on a mixed H2/H∞ control method is proposed in this paper. A practical 2-order lead/lag compensator with local input signal is chosen as the POD structure. The POD is additionally installed with the voltage control loop of DFIG so that the modulation of reactive power output can be performed to damp...

Aim: To assess which modality (POD – 2 removal Vs POD -4 removal of catheter) has overall benefits for the patient undergoing TURP. Methodology: we performed this prospective study on 68 patients From January 2011 to January 2014, The patients were divided into two groups. Group I included patients in whom the catheter was removed on POD – 2 and Group – II included patients in whom catheters we...

in order to study the correlation between morphophenological and quantitative traits with yield and to determine the most important traits for yield, 600 ecotypes of mung bean were evaluated in normal and limited irrigation conditions through augmented design. computation of correlation coefficients showed that in two conditions, number of pods per plant, harvest index and biological yield had ...

The number of pods per plant and the number of seeds per pod are the most variable yield components in winter oilseed rape (WOSR). The production of a seed is the combination of several physiological processes, namely formation of ovules and pollen grains, fertilization of the ovules and development of young embryos, any problem in these processes may result in seed abortion or pod abortion. Bo...

The seed dispersion caused by pod shattering is a form of propagation used by many wild species. Loss of seeds from pod shattering is frequent in the common vetch (Vicia sativa L.), an important self-pollinating annual forage legume. However, pod shattering is one of the most important defects that limits the reproduction of the vetch in the field and the usage as a leguminous forage crop. To b...

This study evaluated the effect of a new multimodal perioperative anesthetic and pain management strategy for primary total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Two cohorts of 50 consecutive THA and 50 TKA patients from before and after initiation of the new protocol were compared. The protocol involved scheduled oral narcotics, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, no intrathecal narcotics, fem...
