Objective Knee osteoarthritis (OA) commonly affects individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and is associated with increased risk of diabetes‐related complications. To better understand potential mechanisms, we examined the association between symptomatic knee OA and glycemic control in individuals with T2DM.

Mean-of-Order-p Location-Invariant Extreme Value Index Estimation
A simple generalisation of the classical Hill estimator of a positive extreme value index (EVI) has been recently introduced in the literature. Indeed, the Hill estimator can be regarded as the logarithm of the mean of order p = 0 of a certain set of ...

Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

Improved Dual-Center Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm
This paper proposes an improved dual-center particle swarm optimization (IDCPSO) algorithm which can effectively improve some inherent defects of particle swarm optimization algorithms such as being prone to premature convergence and low optimization ...

Extreme Value Statistics in Silicon Photonics
L-shape probability distributions are extremely non-Gaussian functions that have been surprisingly successful in describing the occurrence of extreme events ranging from stock market crashes, natural disasters, structure of biological systems, fractals ...

Extreme Value Analysis of Teletraffic Data [PDF]
An empirically verified characteristic of the expanding area of Internet is the longtailness of phenomena such as cpu time to complete a job, call holding times, files lengths requested, inter-arrival times and so on.

Rheumatologic Manifestations of Patients With Type B Insulin Resistance
Objective The objectives of this study were to identify laboratory and clinical features associated with type B insulin resistance (TBIR), a rare condition caused by autoantibodies that inhibit the insulin receptor, most frequently occurring in the setting of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to increase awareness of this rare, life‐threatening ...

Extreme Value Theory for Tail-Related Risk Measures [PDF]
Many fields of modern science and engineering have to deal with events which are rare but have significant consequences. Extreme value theory is considered to provide the basis for the statistical modeling of such extremes. The potential of extreme value

ErB4 and NdB4 nanostructured powders are produced by mechanochemical synthesis. 5 h mechanical alloying and 4 M HCl acid leaching are used in the production. ErB4 and NdB4 powders exhibit maximum magnetization of 0.4726 emu g−1 accompanied with an antiferromagnetic‐to‐paramagnetic phase transition at about TN = 18 K and 0.132 emu g−1 with a maximum at ...
