The control of linear time-invariant systems is one the most basic problems modern automatic theory. Although “optimal controllers” which minimize certain costs associated with can be determined, in applications “simple suffice, and are often more desirable. criteria by these simple controllers designed closely related to problem assigning eigenvalues fundamental matrix (i.e., poles system) arbitrary but specified locations. This paper presents an approach design such systems. Our does not...
Our goal was to assess cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between physical activity sedentary behaviors (television viewing, computer video-game usage, reading) with health-related QoL.Of 2353 children surveyed (median age: 12.7 years), 1216 were resurveyed 5 years later, 475 newly recruited into the study (N = 1691). Children completed detailed questionnaires. Health-related QoL assessed by using Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL).Cross-sectionally, after multivariable...
Purpose To examine the associations of near work related parameters with spherical equivalent refraction and axial length in Chinese children. Methods A total 1770 grade 7 students mean age 12.7 years were examined cycloplegic autorefraction length. Questions asked regarding time spent outdoors per day, parameters. Results Multivariate models revealed following greater odds myopia: continuous reading (> 45min), ratio [OR], 1.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-1.8; close television viewing...
Background: age-related hearing loss is a common chronic condition; hence, it important to understand its influence on the functional status of older adults. We assessed association between impairment with activity limitations as by activities daily living (ADL) scale.
Background: we aimed to assess both cross-sectional and temporal links between measured hearing impairment self-perceived handicap, health outcomes. Methods: in total, 811 Blue Mountains Hearing Study participants (Sydney, Australia) aged ≥55 years were examined twice (1997–99 2002–04). levels with pure-tone audiometry. The shortened version of the handicap inventory (HHIE-S) was administered, scores ≥8 defined handicap. Results: baseline strongly associated 7 10 HHIE-S questions, 5 later....
Abstract Aims Type 2 diabetes and associated microvascular abnormalities are postulated to affect hearing. Our study reports on the relationship between prevalence, 5‐year incidence progression of hearing impairment in a representative, older, Australian population. Methods The Blue Mountains Hearing Study is population‐based survey age‐related loss conducted defined suburban area, west Sydney. was as pure‐tone average frequencies 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 4.0 kHz > 25 decibels level (dB HL) better...
Background.We aimed to investigate predictors of change in pure-tone hearing thresholds older adults.
Abstract We aimed to examine the temporal association between physical activity and successful aging. The analyses involved 1,584 adults aged 49 + years living west of Sydney (Australia), who did not have cancer, coronary artery disease stroke at baseline were followed over 10 years. Participants provided information on performance moderate or vigorous activities walking exercise this was used determine total metabolic equivalents (METs) minutes per week. Successful aging status determined...
Although concurrent vision and hearing loss are common in older adults, population-based data on their relationship with mortality is limited. This cohort study investigated the association between objectively measured dual sensory impairment (DSI) risk over 10 years. 2812 Blue Mountains Eye Study participants aged 55 years at baseline were included for analyses. Visual was defined as visual acuity less than 20/40 (better eye), average pure-tone air conduction threshold greater 25 dB HL...
Purpose: To investigate whether time outdoors and a range of other activities are associated with change in spherical equivalent (SE) axial length Chinese children over period 2 years. Methods: A total 1997 aged 12.7 ± 0.5 (10.9–15.6) years the Anyang Childhood Eye Study (ACES) were examined annually (baseline two follow-up visits). Myopia was defined as cycloplegic SE < −0.50 diopters (D). Questionnaires administered to students parents at baseline gauge spent on tasks. We ran mixed linear...
Background: concurrent vision and hearing loss are common in older adults; however, epidemiological data on their relationship with the incidence of falls lacking. Objective: we assessed association between dual sensory impairment (DSI) falls. We examined influence self-perceived handicap aid use risk Design: a population-based, cohort study participants followed over 5 years. Setting: Blue Mountains, west Sydney, Australia. Subjects: one thousand four hundred seventy-eight aged 55 at...
