ObjectiveDetermine whether items in a cataract surgery appropriateness and prioritization questionnaire can predict change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and health related quality of life (HRQOL) following cataract surgery.Methods313 patients with a cataract in Ontario, copyright were recruited to participate.BCVA was measured using the Sn
Optimization acceleration techniques such as momentum play a key role in state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms.Recently, generic vector sequence extrapolation techniques, such as regularized nonlinear acceleration (RNA) of Scieur et al.[22], were proposed and shown to accelerate fixed point iterations.In contrast to RNA which computes extrap
Fire is an important agent of disturbance in tropical savannas, but relatively few studies have analyzed how soil-and-litter dwelling arthropods respond to fire disturbance despite the critical role these organisms play in nutrient cycling and other biogeochemical processes.Following the incursion of a fire into a woodland savanna ecological reserv
