Objectives: To obtain reliable estimates of the effects of neuraxial blockade with epidural or
spinal anaesthesia on postoperative morbidity and mortality. Design: Systematic review of all …

… is used and the multiplicative iterations are expressed as(20) x ( k + 1 ) = x ( k ) × H T y H x
( k ) × 1 1 + λ g ( k ) , where g ( k ) is the derivative of a regularized version of the l 1 norm of D …

… Having computed d, we perform for each orientation \(\theta\) a non-maximum suppression
on d; that is, we set to \((-\infty )\) all pixels that are not a local maximum of the image \(d_{\cdot…

… d Data from Sage (unpublished) for a deep-water site close to the sill. ’ Black Sea sedimentation
rate and porosity estimates from Crusius [30]. Assuming dissolved [Re] = 9 pM and [MO] …

… A spline of order d 1 is a piecewise-polynomial function consisting of concatenated
polynomial segments of order d that are joined at breakpoints [21]. Such parametric curves are …

Mechanical properties of the adventitia are largely determined by the organization of collagen
fibers. Measurements on the waviness and orientation of collagen, particularly at the zero-…

A new method based on the Young–Laplace equation for measuring contact angles and
surface tensions is presented. In this approach, a first-order perturbation technique helps to …

… 3-D. The same scheme works for processing two-dimensional (2-D) or 3-D data sequences,
… Here, we extend the formulation of Huertas to the 3-D case and express the LoG detector as …

Microscopy imaging often suffers from limited depth‐of‐field. However, the specimen can be
“optically sectioned” by moving the object along the optical axis. Then different areas …

… At the end of each simulation, we calculated two measures for every fluorophores: d NN ,
the … For the HD data, d NN is smaller than the size of the PSF, so that frames contain many …
