Effect of intradialytic change in blood pressure and ultrafiltration volume on the variation in access flow measured by ultrasound dilution
2013
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice
Methods: Access flow was measured 30 minutes, 120 minutes, and 240 minutes after the start of HD by ultrasound dilution in 30 patients during 89 HD sessions and evaluated for variation. ...
Conclusion: We conclude that the variation in access flow during HD is relatively small. Decreased blood pressure is a risk factor for variation in access flow measured by ultrasound dilution. ...
Based on our results, we would recommend that any significantly decreased measurement of access flow in a patient in whom MAP had decreased by Z5% should be rechecked at the next session. ...

Antimicrobial dosing in prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy: a systematic review
2021
Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research
With the exception of vancomycin and meropenem, few antimicrobials had sufficient data available from which reasonable empiric dosing regimens can be recommended. ...
PIRRT settings varied between institutions, including filter surface area, duration of PIRRT and type of dialyser used. ...
Daptomycin should be dosed daily at the end of a PIRRT session at doses similar to that used in normal renal function. Ethambutol standard dosing of 15 mg/ kg/day should be supported by TDM. ...

SBQ: A Simple Scheduler for Fair Bandwidth Sharing Between Unicast and Multicast Flows
[chapter]
2002
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
To implement our approach, we propose to use a two classes CBQ/WRR-like scheduler [6]: one for the unicast flows and the other one for multicast flows. ...
In this paper, we propose a simple scheduler called SBQ (Service-Based Queuing) to share the bandwidth fairly between unicast and multicast flows according to a new definition of fairness referred as the ...
We plot in Figure 6 (b), the variation of the normalized average rate as a function of the number of congested links. ...

Improving short utterance i-vector speaker verification using utterance variance modelling and compensation techniques
2014
Speech Communication
Well established methods such as linear discriminant analysis (LDA), source-normalized LDA (SN-LDA) and within-class covariance normalisation (WCCN) exist for compensating the session variation but we ...
To compensate for utterance variations in short i-vector speaker verification systems using cosine similarity scoring (CSS), we have introduced a short utterance variance normalization (SUVN) technique ...
There are two key recommendations arising from our research for i-vector based speaker verification with short utterances: (i) when a CSS i-vector approach is used, we recommend the use of SUVN [LDA] ...

Circadian and Homeostatic Modulation of Functional Connectivity and Regional Cerebral Blood Flow in Humans under Normal Entrained Conditions
2014
Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism
To address this issue, we explicitly examined the effects of circadian and homeostatic regulation on functional connectivity (FC) and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in healthy human volunteers, using ...
In common with many circadian studies, we collected salivary cortisol to represent the normal circadian activity and functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. ...

An Attention-Based Recommender System to Predict Contextual Intent Based on Choice Histories across and within Sessions
2018
Applied Sciences
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) play an increasingly vital role in various session-based recommender systems, since they use the user's sequential history to build a comprehensive user profile, which ...
We propose a novel approach named Attention-based Short-term and Long-term Model (ASLM), to improve the next-item recommendation, by using an attention-based RNNs integrating both the user's short-term ...
The main contributions of this paper include: • We introduce the attention mechanism to investigate the variation in a user's short-term intent for session-based recommendations. ...

SyFi: A Systematic Approach for Estimating Stateful Firewall Performance
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Based on the observations from our measurements, we develop a model that can estimate the expected performance of a particular stateful firewall when deployed in a customer's network. ...
estimates from our model We evaluate our model on four disparate profiles of normal traffic, which test different variations with respect to protocol type, packet size, and packet counts per flow. ...
We use the term flow (interchangeably with session) in its commonly used sense-a stream of packets with the same five tuple: source and destination IP address, source and destination port, and protocol ...

Multi-vendor reliability of arterial spin labeling perfusion MRI using a near-identical sequence: Implications for multi-center studies
2015
NeuroImage
Reproducibility was evaluated by means of quantitative cerebral blood flow (CBF) agreement and inter-session variation, both on a region-of-interest (ROI) and voxel level. ...
The inter-vendor inter-session variation was not significantly larger than the intra-vendor variation in all (p N 0.1) but one of the ROIs (p b 0.001). ...
We thank the vendors for their support, which enabled us to implement a near-identical sequence on all three platforms. ...
