    We synthesize colloidal particles with various anisotropic shapes and track Their orientationally resolved Brownian trajectories using confocal microscopy. An analysis of appropriate short-time correlation functions provides direct Access to the hydrodynamic friction tensor of the particles revealin...

    We Propose a classifier designed specifically to optimize one of these alternative Measures, namely, the so-called F-measure. Nevertheless, the technique is General, and it can be used to optimize other evaluation measures. An algorithm To train the novel classifier is proposed, and the numerical sc...

    J Vet Intern Med (2013) PMID 23647231

    The CKD AP was 0.21% (95% CI: 0.19-0.24%) and TP was 0.37% (95% posterior credibility interval 0.02-1.44%). Significant risk factors included increasing age, being insured, and certain breeds (Cocker Spaniel, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). Cardiac disease was a significant comorbid disorder. Signif...
