This document describes the CVT basis algorithm employed in the program CVT BASIS, and used for computations in joint work with Max Gunzburger and H C Lee.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Isolated lateral sinus thrombosis was long considered a complication of middle ear disease. Little attention has been recently paid to this variety of thrombosis. We therefore reviewed all cases of isolated lateral sinus thrombosis prospectively collected in our center (1997 to 2006). METHODS Among 195 patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), we identified 157 pa...

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a long-term debilitating vascular brain disease with high morbidity and mortality. It may be associated with rise in D-dimer level. The aim of this study was to examine this potential association and identify the critical D-dimer cut-off level corresponding to increase the risk of CVT. This case-control study was conducted on two groups of patients with and w...

BACKGROUND Headache is the most frequent symptom in cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), and usually the first. However, it has rarely been reported as the only symptom of CVT. OBJECTIVES To study the characteristics of patients in whom headache was the only presentation of CVT in the absence of intracranial hypertension, subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), meningitis, or other intracranial lesion. ...

-The notion of Carry Value Transformation (CVT) is a model of Discrete Deterministic Dynamical System. In this paper, we have studied some interesting properties of CVT and proved that (1) the addition of any two non-negative integers is same as the sum of their CVT and XOR values. (2) While performing the repeated addition of CVT and XOR of two non-negative integers “a” and “b” (where a ≥ b), ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) varies between studies, but it is estimated to be between 2 and 5 per million per year. A recent study in the Netherlands with comprehensive ascertainment suggested a much higher incidence. It is uncertain whether these differing estimates reflect the quality of ascertainment or true variation. The purpose of this study wa...

The connected vehicle (CV) system promises unprecedented safety, mobility, environmental, economic and social benefits, which can be unlocked using the enormous amount of data shared between vehicles and infrastructure (e.g., traffic signals, centers). Real-world CV deployments including pilot deployments help solve technical issues and observe potential benefits, both of which support the broa...

A recently developed Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) sampling method is investigated here to assess its suitability for use in statistical sampling applications. CVT efficiently generates a highly uniform distribution of sample points over arbitrarily shaped M-Dimensional parameter spaces. On several 2-D test problems CVT has recently been found to provide exceedingly effective and effici...

See related article, p 2169. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare neurovascular disorder with a highly variable presentation and clinical course. The low incidence and incongruous presentation of CVT often lead to late diagnosis. The incidence of CVT has been reported as being between 2 and 5 million per year. A recent report suggested a much higher incidence (13 million person-years). In...
