Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a generally accepted method for treatment of patients with the end-stage renal disease.A larger proportion of PD patients transfer to haemodialysis every year than the converse.Many of the underlying causes of transfer to haemodialysis are preventable.Infectious complications still remain the most common reason for trans
Abstract When engaged in a search task, one needs to arbitrate between exploring and exploiting the environment to optimize the outcome.Many intrinsic, task and environmental factors are known PALAIS DES THES to influence the exploration/exploitation balance.Here, in a non clinical population, we show that the level of inattention (assessed as a tr
Aiming at the real intestinal environment, the commonly used feature extraction algorithms are compared and analyzed.The performances of SIFT, BRISK, ORB and FREAK are evaluated from three aspects: feature extraction time, correct matching rate and attitude estimation accuracy under rotation and scaling transformation.ORB binary feature operator ha
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare endocrine disease involving antidiuretic hormone (ADH), encompassing both central and nephrogenic causes.Inability to respond to or produce ADH leads to inability of the kidneys to reabsorb water, resulting in hypotonic polyuria and, if lack of hydration, hypernatremia.DI cannot be cured and is an unfamiliar diseas
Developing tools that help us understand and analyze the effects of cyber attacks on physical assets is necessary in order to detect and prevent harmful consequences of integrating Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).In this paper, we review existing technologies for developing a fully virtualized cyber-physical testbed for cyber and
