Abstract Background Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is characterized by an urge to move the extremities, accompanied by paraesthesiae, in the evening and at night. Uraemic RLS, a type of secondary RLS, occurs commonly in chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Progression of uraemic RLS over time is unclear. Therefore we investigated the prevalence, progression over time, risk factors and impact on survival of uraemic RLS in a cohort of dialysis patients. Methods We reviewed at the 7-year follow-up a cohort of haemodialysis (HD) patients we had previously investigated for RLS, through interviews, validated questionnaires and analysis of demographic and clinical data. Results At the 7-year follow-up, RLS was present in 16% of patients, with a persistence rate of 33%. A correlation was obtained between RLS and older age, diabetes, low albumin and low body mass index. RLS was associated with reduced overall survival (median survival of 3.3 versus 3.7 years), particularly with the continuous form of RLS (1.61 years). There was a higher incidence of myocardial infarction and peripheral vascular disease, although not reaching statistical significance. RLS patients had absolute higher scores in all quality of life domains. A large majority of study patients (96%) reported being symptom-free within a few days or weeks following kidney transplantation. Conclusions The development of RLS, especially the continuous form, in patients undergoing HD has important consequences associated with decreased survival. Our results indicated an association between uraemic RLS and ageing, diabetes and malnutrition. Considerable efforts should be focused on the treatment of RLS, since it significantly and persistently impacts the quality of life of HD patients. Kidney transplantation could represent an effective treatment option for that RLS impacts on dialysis patients' quality of life, thus confirming the secondary nature of RLS in most HD patients.

In this paper, we consider the matrix expression of convolution, and its generalized continuous form. The matrix expression of convolution is effectively applied in convolutional neural networks, and in this study, we correlate the concept of convolution in mathematics to that in convolutional neural network. Of course, convolution is a main process of deep learning, the learning method of deep neural networks, as a core technology. In addition to this, the generalized continuous form of convolution has been expressed as a new variant of Laplace-type transform that, encompasses almost all existing integral transforms. Finally, we would, in this paper, like to describe the theoretical contents as detailed as possible so that the paper may be self-contained.

Corn Grain

Cattle placed on feed is a practice to maximize the amount of meat produced before being sent to slaughter, which has become a major agricultural industry. The optimization of input quantities, especially corn, is crucial to maximize production efficiency and ultimately profit. The objective of this research is to determine the optimal corn grain production rate for cattle on feed in Texas and estimated profit maximization under various price ratios for corn grain and live cattle. Utilizing data from various United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) sources, various different input production levels and prices were collected. Statistical Analysis System (SAS), procedures were used to estimate the different production functions. Sensitivity analysis were performed for the optimal production of corn grain rate, and consequent profit under various combinations of corn and live cattle prices for the four different functions. Additionally, a continuous form curve for optimal corn grain production rates under various price ratios was developed. Results indicated that the cubic model was the most accurate based upon the R2 value. However, the continuous form model created for the sensitivity analysis concluded that the quadratic was the most accurate model under the different price ratios. The results of the study can be a useful tool for the decision-making process for producers and policymakers.

The purpose of the study, the materials of which are outlined in this article, is to uncover current trends in the development of environmental monitoring and the tracking of anthropogenic environmental impacts. To achieve this goal, it is proposed to use geoinformation systems to perform environmental monitoring and control, using appropriate software. For this purpose ArcGis software was used which allows monitoring the state of the atmosphere, its pollution and other deviations from the norm. The research was conducted exemplified by nine districts of Kharkiv. As a result of computer geospatial analysis, models and maps of urban pollution have been developed. In general, the intellectual analysis of geostatic models of emission distribution in the city allowed identifying and classifying zones of high concentrations of pollution and comparing them with air quality data. Methods of geostatistics transformed the data from a discrete to a continuous form of representation. Further studies in this area may be related to the improvement of geostatistical data analysis and pollution distribution prediction methods. As an example, mathematical formulas were presented to determine the atmospheric pollution index and the true or predicted pollution index, which can be determined on the basis of the data obtained and represented by elements of the ArcGis software package in a discrete and continuous form.

Electromagnetically Levitated

By combination of electromagnetic levitation and copper-plate quenching, deep undercooling and non-equilibrium solidification of Si melts were realized. Several different morphologies of Si solidified at different undercoolings were found on the quenched surfaces, including spherical non-faceted morphology, faceted dendritic morphology, octahedral morphology and other polyhedral morphology. The mixed microstructures consisting of non-faceted and faceted morphologies in one single sample provide direct evidence for the growth mode transition from a continuous form to a lateral form.

The sorption of dimethyl ether on alumina has been investigated at pressures from 0.5 to 52 atm., the critical pressure, over the temperature range 25–135 °C. The results are comparable to those for the propylene–alumina system. No discontinuity in the sorption accompanies the transition of sorbate from vapor to gas at the critical temperature; this differs from the previous results for the liquid-to-gas change. The initial stages of the sorption involve the formation of a monomolecular layer followed, with increasing pressure, by a multimolecular layer of increasing depth. It is unlikely that condensation to liquid occurs in the pores except at high relative pressures. The increase in critical temperature of such a liquid must be exceedingly great to account for the continuous form of the isobars up to 135 °C.

ABSTRACT In order to understand the special requirements for the assessment of human toxicity for hormone releasing intrauterine devices it is necessary first to describe the constitution of one such system. The uterine progesterone system developed in our laboratories is the hormonal intrauterine system which has been most extensively tested clinically. It releases 50 μg per day of progesterone in continuous form. It has been designed to have a one-year period of functional life and it constitutes the first once a year hormonal fertility control agent and the first hormonal system which is target specific. A number of unique features in the design and construction of this new and intrinsically safe hormonal system are described.
