Elderly patients with co-morbidities have an increased risk of perioperative mortality and morbidity from anaesthesia. Here is a case report of one such patient who underwent hemiarthroplasty under continous spinal anaesthesia. This technique was advantageous over single shot spinal , epidural and general anaesthesia.

This paper proposes a continous space text model based on Gaussian processes. Introducing latent coordinates of words over which the Gaussian process is defined, we can encode word correlations directly and lead to a model that performs better than mixture models. Our model would serve as a foundation of more complex text models and also as a statistical visualization of texts.

This paper presents the design of a reliable decentralized state feedback control for a class of uncertain interconnected polytopic continous systems. A model of failures in actuators is adopted which considers outages or partial degradation in independent actuators. The control is developed using the concept of guaranteed cost control and a new LMI characterization using polytopic Lyapunov fun...
