ECG data sequences are classical and most reliable clinical data for patients to provide complex physiological and pathological information diagnosing various heart diseases. Extracting dynamic information from ECG signal time sequences, Poincare maps have developed as classical assistant tools using two dimension maps as important basis for medical doctors to diagnose multiple cardiovascular d...

Two one-parameter families of twists providing κ−Minkowski ∗−product deformed spacetime are considered: Abelian and Jordanian. We compare the derivation of quantum Minkowski space from two perspectives. First one is the Hopf module algebra point of view, which is strictly related with Drinfeld’s twisting tensor technique. An other one relies on an appropriate extension of deformed realizations ...

Sevugarajan and Menon [4-6] have studied the nonlinear Paul ion trap. They have applied the Lindstedt-Poincare technique, the modified Lindstedt-Poincare technique and the multiple scales perturbation technique for solving the nonlinear equation of ion motion in nonlinear ion trap. Also, in two previous studies [7,8] done on nonlinear ion traps by one of the present authors, the homotopy pertur...

Whereas the rabbinic tradition attacks King Asa of Judah for trusting in himself rather than in G-d and, in particular, for drafting the sages, Josephus, the apologist, omits such details and, indeed, whitewashes Asa completely. He is praised particularly, in language reminiscent of Josephus' portraits of Saul and David, as well as of Thucydides' Pericles, for putting his nation in order. In pa...

The profession of occupational therapy promotes individuals to achieve health and wellness through engagement in meaningful occupations of daily living. This occupation-focused profession plays a critical role in health care in a multitude of settings with a wide range of clients. The paper highlights a global overview of the philosophies of occupational therapy, the current international pract...

Compared to the general semantic segmentation problem, portrait segmentation has higher precision requirement on boundary area. However, this problem has not been well studied in previous works. In this paper, we propose a boundary-sensitive deep neural network (BSN) for portrait segmentation. BSN introduces three novel techniques. First, an individual boundary-sensitive kernel is proposed by d...

We compared the Portrait Toxigenic C. difficile Assay, a new semiautomated sample-to-result molecular test, to a toxigenic bacterial culture/cell cytotoxin neutralization assay (TBC/CCNA) for the detection of toxigenic Clostridium difficile in 549 stool specimens. Stool specimens were also tested by one of three alternative FDA-cleared molecular tests for toxigenic C. difficile (Xpert C. diffic...
