PURPOSE We investigated correlations between short-term and long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations. METHODS We examined 50 eyes of glaucoma patients who were followed for >2 years. We measured short-term IOP fluctuation using a Triggerfish(®) contact lens sensor (CLS). The short-term IOP fluctuation (mVeq) was defined as the difference between the maximum value and the minimum valu...

OBJECTIVE Synonym-substitution algorithms have been developed for the purpose of matching source vocabulary terms with existing Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) terms during the integration process. A drawback is the possible explosion in the number of newly generated (potential) synonyms, which can tax computational and expert review resources. Experiments are run using a synonym-substit...

Normal full-term infants were followed by serial transcutaneous bilirubinometry over the first week of life. The pattern of physiologic jaundice in our population was similar to that shown for white infants. Mean maximum bilirubin peak was seen on day four of life and was also similar to that shown for American white infants. The incidence of non physiologic hyperbilirubinemia defined as 2...

The study examines long-term changes and short-term fluctuations in ambient temperature of North East India during 1901-2003 located in part of the Eastern Himalayan region of the Brahmaputra Basin. Long-term linear trends were examined with the Mann-Kendal rank statistic and moving average method while the short-term fluctuations were studied by applying Cramer’s test. The results showed signi...

This paper proposes and discusses the viability of a short-term grid maximum demand forecasting model combining autoregressive integrated moving average with regressors (ARIMAX) support vector regression (SVR). Grid is essential to generation unit scheduling, maintenance planning system security. Traditionally, forecasted using multivariate linear models parameters adjusted past data. A disadva...
