In the present study, the clinical effects of flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy (FURL) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for the treatment of kidney stones of ≤2 cm was studied. Seventy-two patients with kidney stones were randomly divided into the FURL group (n=39) under ureteroscope lithotripsy with holmium laser and PCNL group (n=33) under PCNL with holmium laser and compared their cli...

Fuzzy Rules have been shown to be very useful in modeling relationships between variables that have a high degree of uncertainty or ambiguity. A major question in regards to learning fuzzy rule bases is how to handle interactions between rules of overlapping coverage. Structures, such as Yager’s HPS (Hierarchical Prioritized Structure), have been proposed to answer this question. In this paper,...

How can we accurately estimate local triangles for all nodes in simple and multigraph streams? Local triangle counting in a graph stream is one of the most fundamental tasks in graph mining with important applications including anomaly detection and social network analysis. Although there have been several local triangle counting methods in a graph stream, their estimation has a large variance ...

Yeast expression vectors are generally based on the 2 micron plasmid and are not stably inherited, so that continued selection pressure must be applied to prevent the gradual accumulation of plasmid-free cells. A number of 'autoselection' systems have been proposed and perhaps the most versatile is the stabilisation of plasmids containing the URA3 gene in urc3 furl host strains (1). These strai...

In recent years social bookmark systems like del.icio.us or Furl have become increasingly popular. These systems sometimes are regarded as alternatives to algorithmic search engines like Google. In this paper we develop seven theses on the potential of these systems in order to establish a conceptual basis for future research in this area. Thereby it becomes clear that social bookmarking system...

People are better able to recognize faces of their own race than those of other races. One explanation is that this 'other-race effect' is caused by lifelong experience in which faces from some races are more common than other races. A recent article by Furl et al. tests experience-based accounts of the other-race effect by giving computer algorithms of face recognition training on preponderant...

Abstract Date Presented 04/21/2023 The wheelchair procurement process is challenging for brain injury survivors. Structured interviews at two time points identified gaps and priorities. Priority areas were comfort effectiveness. Gap included fit follow-up care.
