Cardiac outputs calculated from left ventricular indicator dilution curves were compared to outputs calculated from pulmonary arterial curves in 58 patients with a variety of cardiac abnormalities. Cardiac outputs calculated from left ventricular and pulmonary arterial curves differed by only 0.037 ± 0.052 LI mm. Individual measurements of cardiac output using left ventricular curves had an est...

Commonly used sums-of-squares-based error or deviation statisticsdlike the standard deviation, the standard error, the coefficient of variation, and the root-mean-square errordoften are misleading indicators of average error or variability. Sums-of-squares-based statistics are functions of at least two dissimilar patterns that occur within data. Both the mean of a set of error or deviation magn...

Since density is considered as one of the most important numerical indices to explain quantitative values of a plant community by affecting on many aspects and activity of ecosystem, on the other hand, awareness about plants distribution pattern in environment is an essential preparation for measurement and study of vegetative cover, therefore, in this research determination of density and dist...

What is the minimum amount of information we must transmit along with greyscale values in order to recover a colour original from a grey image? The problem of colour quantization is one of long standing with, for example, a GIF file consisting of single-byte grey values (appropriately compressed using entropy coding) plus a 256×3 colour lookup table in the file header. That lookup table can be ...
