Is Thermal Pulsation Therapy Effective for Dry Eyes Before and After Cataract Surgery? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by Chen KY, Chan HC, Chan CM

“…We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of TPT in managing dry eye symptoms associated with cataract surgery.Methods: A systematic search was performed in December 2024 across PubMed, ScienceDirect, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify original research on the efficacy of TPT in addressing cataract surgery-related dry eye symptoms. …”

DC algorithm for estimation of sparse Gaussian graphical models. by Tomokaze Shiratori, Yuichi Takano

“…To this end, we focus on sparse estimation of GGM with the cardinality constraint based on the ℓ0 norm. Specifically, we convert the cardinality constraint into an equivalent constraint based on the largest-K norm, and reformulate the resultant constrained optimization problem into an unconstrained penalty form with a DC (difference of convex functions) representation. …”

On Pierce-like idempotents and Hopf invariants by Giora Dula, Peter Hilton

“…Given a set K with cardinality ‖K‖ =n, a wedge decomposition of a space Y indexed by K, and a cogroup A, the homotopy group G=[A,Y] is shown, by using Pierce-like idempotents, to have a direct sum decomposition indexed by P(K)−{ϕ} which is strictly functorial if G is abelian. …”

A Group Feature Screening Procedure Based on Pearson Chi-Square Statistic for Biology Data with Categorical Response by Hanji He, Jianfeng He, Guangming Deng

“…This study proposes a group feature screening method that considers group correlations using adjusted Pearson’s cardinality statistic to address this issue. The method can be applied to both continuous and discrete covariates. …”
