So far applanation tonometry has not worked out any theoretical basis for correcting the result of intraocular pressure measurement carried out on a cornea with noncalibration dimensions by means of the Goldmann tonometer. All the tables of instrument reading corrections for cornea thickness or cornea curvature radius are based exclusively on measurements. This paper represents an attempt at cr...

We present a method for constructing multivariate refinable Hermite interpolants and their associated subdivision algorithms based on a combination of analytical and numerical approaches. Being the limit of a linear iterative procedure, the critical L Sobolev smoothness of a refinable Hermite interpolant is given by the spectral radius of a matrix dependent upon the refinement mask. The design ...

background: considering the importance of an early diagnosis and proper decision-making in regards to the treatment of pediatric distal radius and elbow fractures, this study examines emergency medicine specialists’ accuracy in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. methods: from 2012 and 2013, children less than 14 years old who were referred to an academic hospital emergency departmen...

Severely comminuted fractures of distal radius often lead to impairment of wrist function. A prospective study was performed on 30 patients aged between 35-65 years of extra-articular fractures of distal radius. All patients were treated with closed manipulation of the fracture an application of non-bridging (radio radial) external fixator under radiological control. At six months after the inj...

Regression models to predict diameter at breast height (DBH) as a function of tree height and maximum crown radius were developed for Caribbean forests based on data collected by the U.S. Forest Service in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and Territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The model predicting DBH from tree height fit reasonably well (R2 = 0.7110), with strongest in subtropical moist and ...

We consider Support Vector Machines (SVMs) learned together with linear transformations of the feature spaces on which they are applied. Under this scenario the radius of the smallest data enclosing sphere is no longer fixed. Therefore optimizing the SVM error bound by considering both the radius and the margin has the potential to deliver a tighter error bound. In this paper we present two nov...

We present two modiications of continuum models used in large eddy simulation. The rst modiication is a closure approximation which better attenuates small eddies. The second modiication is a change in the boundary conditions for the large eddy model from strict adherence to slip with resistance. For model consistency the resistance coeecient is a function of the averaging radius so that the mo...
