We consider the large-scale regularity of solutions to second-order linear elliptic equations with random coefficient fields. In contrast to previous works on regularity theory for random elliptic operators, our interest is in the regularity at the boundary: We consider problems posed on the halfspace with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and derive an associated C1,α-type large-scale ...

OBJECTIVE To validate the Hong Kong Chinese translation of the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score questionnaire (OABSS-HKC). DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Five urology clinics of different regional hospitals in Hong Kong. PARTICIPANTS The Overactive Bladder Symptom Score questionnaire was translated and culturally adapted for Hong Kong Chinese, according to the Principles of Good Pr...

(i) From figure 4 (Grzebyk et al., 2005), the French method (Method 1) of appraisal of the quality of the results of analysts involved in fibre counting by PCOM is, at least theoretically, quite a lot more stringent than the other two methods discussed. However, in practice in the field (table 2, Grzebyk et al., 2005), the French method is a little bit less demanding (‘selective’) than the RICE...

In this paper, we focus on nonasymptotic bounds related to the Euler scheme of an ergodic diffusion with a possibly multiplicative term (nonconstant coefficient). More precisely, objective paper is control distance standard decreasing step (usually called unadjusted Langevin algorithm in Monte Carlo literature) invariant distribution such diffusion. appropriate Lyapunov setting and under unifor...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to examine the validity of a translated and culturally adapted version of the Physicians' Reaction to Uncertainty scales (PRU) in primary care physicians. METHODS In a structured process, the original questionnaire was translated, culturally adapted and assessed after administering it to 93 GPs. Test-retest reliability was tested by sending the questionnair...

PURPOSE The objective of this research was to assess the auditory abilities of Portuguese children and compare such abilities to the score of the Scale of Auditory Behaviors (SAB). METHODS Fifty-one children were evaluated with audiometry, speech audiometry, acoustic immittance measures, and eight behavioral tests involving dichotic listening, monotic listening, temporal processing, and sound...

Physical activity questionnaire (PAQ) is the most widely used method for evaluation of physical activity (PA). The aim of this study was to adapt and evaluate reproducibility of a PAQ in Comcáac community of Sonora, Mexico. Adaptation of PAQ was conducted through interviews with key residents. Reproducibility was evaluated applying PAQ twice to 26 persons within 20 or more years old, using Spea...
