Open AccessThe impact of hepatic and splenic volumetric assessment in imaging for chronic liver disease: a narrative review
Chronic liver disease is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can fully visualise the liver and adjacent struct...

Open AccessElevated nuclear TDP-43 induces constitutive exon skip**
Cytoplasmic inclusions and loss of nuclear TDP-43 are key pathological features found in several neurodegenerative disorders, suggesting both gain- and loss-of-function mechanisms of disease. To study gain-of-...

A Fuzzy Convex Nonparametric Least Squares Method with Different Shape Constraints
The main drawback of the typical fuzzy least squares approach is that the resulting fuzzy regression model is linear, and the model's accuracy decreases with the increases in the magnitudes and the number of i...

Sensory reweighting: a common mechanism for subjective visual vertical and cybersickness susceptibility
The malaise symptoms of cybersickness are thought to be related to the sensory conflict present in the exposure to virtual reality (VR) content. When there is a sensory mismatch in the process of sensory perce...

Truncated Dantzig–Wolfe Decomposition for a Class of Constrained Variational Inequality Problems
In this paper, we discuss how to use the Dantzig–Wolfe (DW) decomposition method to solve a class of constrained variational inequality (VI) problems. These problems include multi-regional energy equilibrium m...

An application of statistical and data mining methods to study the waste charging scheme in Hong Kong
Waste charging policy is one of the tools used by many countries to solve waste management problems. Before a policy can be fully implemented, it is important to study residents’ willingness to pay (WTP) for w...

Bronchospasm
Bronchospasm is a severe constriction of bronchioles that results in respiratory distress. It can be challenging to prevent, recognize, and manage. It may be difficult to distinguish from laryngospasm, aspirat...

Approximation Methods in Dantzig—Wolfe Decomposition of Variational Inequalities—A Review and Extension
In this study, we review some approximation methods being used in Dantzig-Wolfe (DW) decomposition method for variational inequalities (VI). After applying DW decomposition method, the decomposed VI consists o...

Persistent perceptual delay for active head movement onset relative to sound onset with and without vision
Knowing when the head moves is crucial information for the central nervous system to maintain a veridical representation of the self in the world for perception and action. Previous studies have shown that act...

Variational Inequality Formulations for Oligopolistic Electricity Models with Marketable CO2 Emission Permits
In this paper, we first provide an introduction of the electricity market and its major players. Then, equilibrium models of the CO2 emission permits market are discussed. We consider a variational inequality (VI...

Dantzig—Wolfe Decomposition of Variational Inequalities
The creation and ongoing management of a large economic model can be greatly simplified if the model is managed in separate smaller pieces defined, e.g. by region or commodity. For this purpose, we define an e...
