The Random Forest (RF) algorithm, a decision-tree-based technique, has become promising approach for applications addressing runoff forecasting in remote areas. This machine learning can overcome the limitations of scarce spatio-temporal data and physical parameters needed process-based hydrological models. However, influence RF hyperparameters is still uncertain needs to be explored. Therefore, aim this study analyze sensitivity models varying lead time algorithm. For this, were trained by...
Discharge forecasting is a key component for early warning systems and extremely useful decision makers. Forecasting models require accurate rainfall estimations of high spatial resolution other geomorphological characteristics the catchment, which are rarely available in remote mountain regions such as Andean highlands. While radar data some areas, absence well distributed rain gauge network makes it hard to obtain maps. Thus, this study explored Random Forest model its ability leverage...
The prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) is an accessory tool when suspecting prostate cancer. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the has a high rate false negatives. aim this study to evaluate sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), and positive (PPV) adding PSAD or equivocal mpMRI.A retrospective that included biopsies performed using transperineal approach guided by ultrasound between 2015 2019 was conducted. Clinically significant cancer (csPCa)...
Floods cause significant damage to human life, infrastructure, agriculture, and the economy. Predicting peak runoffs is crucial for hazard assessment, but it challenging in remote areas like Andes due limited hydrometeorological data. We utilized a 300 km2 catchment over period 2015–2021 develop runoff forecasting models exploiting precipitation information retrieved from an X-band weather radar. For modeling task, we employed Random Forest (RF) algorithm combination with Feature Engineering...
Kidney stones in pregnant is not a common emergency, but it one that extremely challenging to manage. There exists no previous survey, which maps the different practice patterns adopted. Our aim was deliver survey evaluate current status of across parts world regarding management stone disease pregnancy.
The advance of technology makes that mobile devices have gained widespread popularity. Modern include build in sensors, cameras, compasses, and enhanced storage processing capabilities, allowing developers to use those features create applications with new or functionality. In this context, we present a application for searching places, people events within university campus. our work, leverage semantic web augmented reality provide an high degree query expressiveness user experience....
Introduction: Ejaculatory dysfunction is a common complication of surgeries for benign prostatic obstruction. It causes clear deterioration in quality life. Techniques have been developed to attempt preserve antegrade ejaculation (AE). Our objective was analyze results ejaculatory function using an AE preservation technique during anatomical vaporization with XPS 180-W. Methods: Between 2017 and 2019, sexually active patients were treated this by the same surgical team. A questionnaire...
Introducción: La Erisipela es una patología infecciosa causada generalmente por la invasión cutánea S. pyogenes. Por falta de cifras epidemiológicas actualizadas, se propone determinar tasa egreso hospitalario (TEH) durante el periodo 2019 a 2022 en Chile. Materiales Y Métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal respecto TEH 2019-2022 Chile, considerando sexo, grupo etario estadía hospitalaria (N=794). Se recopilaron datos del Departamento Estadísticas e Información Salud...
Introduction and Background: Urinary diversion with the endoscopic Double-J stent is a frequent procedure; complications can include irritation, suprapubic or flank pain, vesicoureteral reflux, hematuria, urinary infection. We report case of hepatic subcapsular hematoma secondary to placement. Case Presentation: A 28-year-old woman presented history Sjögren's disease, nephrocalcinosis, chronic kidney disease (CKD). The patient underwent multiple percutaneous procedures during previous 2...
