Abstract:

OBJECTIVEPrevious studies have shown a relation between growth and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Additionally, several morphological characteristics are frequently measured to estimate rupture risk. Little is known about how the rupture risk is associated with morphological characteristic changes during growth. The aim of this study was to provide insights into how morphological characteristics, associated with rupture, change during an aneurysm’s growth.METHODSThe authors retrospectively identified patients with longitudinal MRA images of unruptured growing aneurysms. The MRA images had an in-plane resolution of 0.2–0.5 mm and a slice thickness of 0.2–0.75 mm. Therefore, growth was defined as an increase of at least 0.5 mm in two directions or 1 mm in one direction. Using the MRA images, the authors semiautomatically segmented the aneurysm and the perianeurysmal vasculature. Twelve morphological characteristics were automatically measured. These characteristics were related to size (diameter, height, width, neck diameter, volume, surface area, aspect ratio, height-width ratio, and bottleneck factor) and shape (ellipticity index, nonsphericity index, and undulation index) of the aneurysm. Morphological characteristics before and after growth were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.RESULTSThe authors included 31 patients with 38 growing aneurysms. The aneurysms’ growth was detected after a mean of 218 weeks (range 23–567 weeks). A significant increase was seen in all size-related characteristics, and the bottleneck factor also significantly increased (from a median of 1.00 [IQR 0.85–1.04] to 1.03 [IQR 0.93–1.18]), while the ellipticity index decreased (from a median of 0.26 [IQR 0.25–0.28] to 0.25 [IQR 0.24–0.26]). The changes in size ratios and shape indices varied largely among patients. Larger aneurysms more often showed an increase in shape ratios.CONCLUSIONSAlthough aneurysm growth, size-related characteristics, bottleneck factor, and ellipticity index changed significantly during growth, most size ratios and shape indices showed inconsistent changes among aneurysms. This suggests that, for an accurate rupture prediction, morphological parameters need to be reassessed after growth.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objective To search an ultrasonographic marker to measure cervix consistency throughout pregnancy quantitatively by transvaginal ultrasonography and compare these values with the current pattern–the cervicometry. In a randomly selected population of pregnant and nonpregnant women using a new cervical consistency index (CCI) and compare these changes with the findings using cervicometry. Methods The cervical consistency index (CCI) and cervicometry were measured using transvaginal ultrasonography in a reference population of randomly selected women who were mature enough for reproduction, and women in their first, second and third trimester of pregnancy. Patients with history of cervical conization, two or more dilations and miscarriages, Müllerian abnormalities and history of cervix incompetence were excluded from this study. Furthermore, patients with multiple pregnancies and cervical cerclage were not allowed to participate in this study. Results A total of 162 patients were evaluated for cervicometry and CCI. Eighty of these women were not pregnant and the remaining 82 were pregnant. The database was analyzed using EPI-INFO version 6.0. Statistical values, such as the average, median and standard deviation between two groups, were analyzed. Statistically significant differences were found between nonpregnant and pregnant women in the first, second and third trimester regarding CCI with p < 0.0001. The cervix of pregnant women loses an average of 1.2% of consistency per week of pregnancy. Cervicometry did not show statistically significant difference among the groups (p = 0.4459). Conclusion CCI can quantitatively assess cervix consistency in pregnant and nonpregnant women, also found statistically significant differences between these groups and between the different trimesters of gestation, CCI also shows a remarkably circumscribed linear regression trend from early pregnancy. This ultrasound marker may serve in future for the early identification of patients at risk for preterm delivery. On cervicometry, there was no statistically significant differences between groups mentioned above.

Abstract:

The paper presents the Triads Geometric Consistency Index ( T - G C I ), a measure for evaluating the inconsistency of the pairwise comparison matrices employed in the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Based on the Saaty’s definition of consistency for AHP, the new measure works directly with triads of the initial judgements, without having to previously calculate the priority vector, and therefore is valid for any prioritisation procedure used in AHP. The T - G C I is an intuitive indicator defined as the average of the log quadratic deviations from the unit of the intensities of all the cycles of length three. Its value coincides with that of the Geometric Consistency Index ( G C I ) and this allows the utilisation of the inconsistency thresholds as well as the properties of the G C I when using the T - G C I . In addition, the decision tools developed for the G C I can be used when working with triads ( T - G C I ), especially the procedure for improving the inconsistency and the consistency stability intervals of the judgements used in group decision making. The paper further includes a study of the computational complexity of both measures ( T - G C I and G C I ) which allows selecting the most appropriate expression, depending on the size of the matrix. Finally, it is proved that the generalisation of the proposed measure to cycles of any length coincides with the T - G C I . It is not therefore necessary to consider cycles of length greater than three, as they are more complex to obtain and the calculation of their associated measure is more difficult.

Abstract:

Consider a sequence of possibly dependent random variables having the same marginal distribution F, whose tail 1−F is regularly varying at infinity with an unknown index − α < 0 which is to be estimated. For i.i.d. data or for dependent sequences with the same marginal satisfying mixing conditions, it is well known that Hill's estimator is consistent for α−1 and asymptotically normally distributed. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the central role played by the tail empirical process for the problem of consistency. This approach allows us to easily prove Hill's estimator is consistent for infinite order moving averages of independent random variables. Our method also suffices to prove that, for the case of an AR model, the unknown index can be estimated using the residuals generated by the estimation of the autoregressive parameters.

Abstract:

In decision making with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations (IVIFPRs), the consistency and its improvement are key issues. The aim of this paper is to investigate a new multiplicative consistency of IVIFPRs based on interval arithmetic, and propose goal programming approach to improve consistency and consensus. Based on analysis of the drawbacks of the existing consistency definitions of IVIFPR, new definition for multiplicative consistent IVIFPR is introduced. Based on the proposed multiplicative consistency and analysis of the relationship between interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weights and multiplicative consistent IVIFPR, goal programming-based model is developed for deriving interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weights from IVIFPR. To measure the multiplicative consistency degree of IVIFPRs, a consistency index is introduced and then an acceptable consistency is defined. For an IVIFPR with unacceptable consistency, a mathematical programming approach is proposed to improve its consistency. By considering the experts’ subjective and consensus weights, the experts’ comprehensive weights are determined. Some numerical examples illustrate the proposed models.

Abstract:

High consistency refining (HCR) and low consistency refining (LCR) of unbleached Masson’s pine kraft pulps for sack paper were studied in this article. The properties of their refined pulp and handsheet were analyzed comparatively. The results showed a high consistency refining was more suitable for sack paper with unbleached Masson’s pine kraft pulp than a low consistency refining. High consistency refining is of advantage to retain the fiber length. The tear index of the handsheet of high consistency refining were higher than that of low consistency refining. The TtensileT TenergyT Tabsorption (TEA)T index and air permeability of the handsheet of high consistency refining which were crucial properties of sack papers were better, though higher tensile index could be obtained with low consistency refining.

Abstract:

Internal consistency reliabilities of the WISC–IV subtest and index scores were estimated for a sample of 76 primary school students from a small Midwestern community. Means for age and Full Scale IQ were 8.2 yr. ( SD = 2.3) and 110.5 ( SD = 11.7), respectively. Internal consistency reliabilities were compared with those for the WISC–IV standardization sample of 200. The range of reliabilities for the subtests was from .76 for Picture Concepts to .94 for Arithmetic and from .92 for Perceptual Reasoning Index to .96 for Verbal Comprehension Index and Full Scale IQ. The Full Scale IQ internal consistency reliability is comparable to that of the standardization sample. However, in all but one instance the reliabilities were greater than those of the normative sample.

Abstract:

In this paper we highlight our recent work in arXiv:0803.4504. In that work, we proposed a new consistency test of quintessence models for dark energy. Our test gave a simple and direct signature if certain category of quintessence models was not consistent with the observational data. For a category that passed the test, we further constrained its characteristic parameter. Specifically, we found that the exponential potential was ruled out at the 95% confidence level and the power-law potential was ruled out at the 68% confidence level based on the current observational data. We also found that the confidence interval of the index of the power-law potential was between -2 and 0 at the 95% confidence level.

Abstract:

In this study, we used noise as a sound source and defined the source volume as sound pressure. We analyzed by AHP the relationship between sonority and sound pressure of the median front and surroundings, and have identified its auditory sensation. Results showed that the farther away a sound heard by the subject from the center, the worse the consistency index. The consistency index was 0.1-0.9 in such a case. That is, the consistency index when sound moved away from the median front. In addition, the consistency index was found to be 0.10-0.27 in the median front after correction was added to an up-down sound image mistaken inversely. The consistency index was 0.12-0.24 when sound sources were in the same direction and 0.16-0.63 when sources were in different directions. Correction was recognized in experiment results, but consistency worsens when sound moved away from the center. Satisfactory correction can be expected only in correction of the median front.

Abstract:

Many mechanical pulping mills use low consistency (LC) refining for energy efficient fiber development. In this study, energy efficiency and pulp quality were evaluated for six processes, of which four included LC refining. We studied two different types of chip refiners – single disc (SD) and double disc (DD) – with LC refining in the main and reject lines. All process combinations have been used in the Holmen Paper Braviken mill, Sweden, to make thermomechanical pulp for printing papers. LC refining was more energy efficient than high consistency (HC) refining at certain tensile index increases in all evaluated combinations. LC refining in the main line had somewhat higher energy efficiency than did LC refining in the reject line. The type of chip refiner (DD or SD) did not affect the efficiency or pulp property development in LC refining. The process with a combination of DD chip refining and LC refining had the highest energy efficiency (tensile index at certain specific energy consumption). All processes with LC refining produced pulp with somewhat lower light scattering and fiber length than did the corresponding system with only HC refining. Thus, for printing papers, the best combination was LC refining with DD chip refining. LC refiners seem to have a narrow range in specific energy for maximum energy efficiency and a good balance between tensile index increase and fiber length reduction. Much higher specific energy was applied on reject pulp. However, the reject share was only around 30%. The LC refining specific energy, based on main line production, was around 80 kWh/air-dried metric ton (a.d. metric ton), whereas up to 180 kWh/a.d. metric ton was applied in main line.

Abstract:

Fuzzy set theory, extensively applied in abundant disciplines, has been recognized as a plausible tool in dealing with uncertain and vague information due to its prowess in mathematically manipulating the knowledge of imprecision. In fuzzy-data comparisons, exploring the general ranking measure that is capable of consistently differentiating the magnitude of fuzzy numbers has widely captivated academics’ attention. To date, numerous indices have been established; however, counterintuition, less discrimination, and/or inconsistency on their fuzzy-number rating outcomes have prohibited their comprehensive implementation. To ameliorate their manifested ranking weaknesses, this paper proposes a unified index that multiplies weighted-mean and weighted-area discriminatory components of a fuzzy number, respectively, called centroid value and attitude-incorporated left-and-right area. From theoretical proof of consistency property and comparative studies for triangular, triangular-and-trapezoidal mixed, and nonlinear fuzzy numbers, the unified index demonstrates conspicuous ranking gains in terms of intuition support, consistency, reliability, and computational simplicity capability. More importantly, the unified index possesses the consistency property for ranking fuzzy numbers and their images as well as for symmetric fuzzy numbers with an identical altitude which is a rather critical property for accurate matching and/or retrieval of information in the field of computer vision and image pattern recognition.

Abstract:

Poverty is a problem that is still faced by several countries in the world, especially in Indonesia. Poverty is a condition / condition of the inability of individuals / groups of people to meet the necessities of life, both physical and economic conditions. The system of providing assistance carried out by the Social Service of North Sumatra Province uses the Analytical Hierarchy Process method. The method used in this aid system is the Analytical Hierarchy Process method in the Social Service of North Sumatra Province. The results of the weighted assumptions for each criterion are relative in nature. The criteria used in determining the receipt of assistance are job criteria, income criteria, nutritional consumption criteria (chicken, meat, milk), criteria for sources of information, criteria for medical ability, criteria for the last education of the head of the family. The method used in this research is the AHP method. AHP method is one of the methods used in the Decision Support System to determine the provision of this assistance is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). After getting the consistency index value, then look for the consistency ratio value (CR) by dividing the consistency index by the consistency random index (RI), namely CR = C1 / R1 CR = 0.09975 / 1.24 = 0.0891, the requirement for consistency CR <0.1 then the CR value that is obtained from the comparison above it is consistent.

Abstract:

It is well known that road accidents tend to be more frequent in locations where a sudden change in road characteristics violates the driver's expectations. Most methods used to assess the design consistency are based on simplified speed profiles that give a coarse description of the vehicle dynamics along the road. This paper presents a new approach to quantify the road design consistency, based on continuous operating speed profiles. These profiles are based on the Gipps’ car-following equations, adapted to simulate the driver behaviour in the vicinity of horizontal curves under free-flow conditions. A methodology to calibrate and validate the Gipps’ behavioural parameters from field data is presented and applied to predict the speed profiles of three drivers for a set of rural road segments. The calibration is based on trajectory data collected with an instrumented vehicle and it follows an automated procedure that aims to minimize the differences between the predicted and observed speed profiles. The new consistency index is based on the deceleration distances and it allows to overcome some limitations of the existing methods.

Abstract:

In this work, rather than relating different areas of knowledge, the authors make use of logic, which is intrinsic to mathematical models. They discuss one of the fallacies that hides behind the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). In particular, the analysis of the consistency index, sometimes referred as the Saaty consistency or simply the consistency, will be discussed. The AHP is based on three fundamental axioms: reciprocity, homogeneity, and synthesis. However, it gives a great relevance to consistency, which is managed like a fourth axiom. On each of these four axioms, some comments will be made. However, this work will focus mainly on discussing the importance of the consistency index, to which, undoubtedly, a large number of essays and many hours of work have been devoted. In trying to answer the question, the calculation of consistency is really important. The aim of the paper is to raise a discussion of one of the fallacies that hides behind the analytic hierarchy process and present a simple and direct way to handle Saaty consistency.
