Earnings per share (EPS) represents the profitability of a common stock and the financial performance of a particular company. Therefore, EPS is often regarded as a major indicator for investors to purchase stocks. The traditional approach is to use a conventional linear time series model for EPS prediction. However, the results would be in doubt when the forecasting problems are nonlinear. For...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare incidence rates and time course of extrapyramidal symptom (EPS)-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) between oral and long-acting injectable (LAI) paliperidone. METHODS The analysis included pooled data (safety analysis set, 2,256 antipsychotic-treated and 865 placebo-treated patients with schizophrenia) from seven randomized, d...

BACKGROUND Electroencephalography (EEG) is still a widely used imaging tool that combines high temporal resolution with a relatively low cost. Ag/AgCl metal electrodes have been the gold standard for non-invasively monitoring electrical brain activity. Although reliable, these electrodes have multiple drawbacks: they suffer from noise, such as offset potential drift, and usability issues, for e...

Pyruvic acid and O-acetyl groups are the major noncarbohydrate substituents in exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by fast-growing species of Rhizobium. EPS substituent variations were observed among strains of the same species. The amounts of these substituents also varied with culture age; pyruvic acid increased in the EPS of all four species, whereas O-acetyl increased in Rhizobium trifolii an...

Nanomaterials are the leading edge to the rapidly developing nanotechnology. For the synthesis of nanomaterials over a wide range of chemical composition, the development of reliable and efficient methods is a challenging issue in nanotechnology. In context to this green synthesis of nanoparticles using biological systems, plant products and microorganisms are potentially considerable because o...

the aim of this research is study about influence of companies financial factors on volume of them shares traded in tehran stock exchange and classification of these financial factors on the basis of their effect on volume of shares traded. first, the relation of each above financial factors and “rial amount of trading volume” has studied separately. so it is used of correlation coefficient and...

BACKGROUND Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) with an increasing incidence. There is no clear consensus on the treatment of EPS, but anecdotal reports indicate improvement in EPS patients treated with tamoxifen. At present, there is no evidence for the effect of tamoxifen treatment in EPS patients. This study investigates the effect of...

Emerging patterns (EPs) are associations of features whose frequencies increase significantly from one class to another. They have been proven useful to build powerful classifiers and to help establishing diagnosis. Because of the huge search space, mining and representing EPs is a hard task for large datasets. Thanks to the use of recent results on condensed representations of frequent closed ...

To evaluate and develop methodologies for the extraction of gel-forming extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), EPS from aerobic granular sludge (AGS) was extracted using six different methods (centrifugation, sonication, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), formamide with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), formaldehyde with NaOH and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with heat and constant mixing). AGS was ...
