The Reinforcement Learning Kelly Strategy
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-03)The full Kelly portfolio strategy's deficiency in the face of estimation errors in practice can be mitigated by fractional or shrinkage Kelly strategies. This paper provides an alternative, the RL Kelly strategy, based on ... -
The relationship between children's executive functioning, theory of mind, and verbal skills with their own and others' behaviour in a cooperative context: Changes in relations from early to middle school-age
(Wiley, 2017-02-28)Learning to behave in socially competent ways is an essential component of children's development. This study examined the relations between children's social, communicative, and cognitive skills and their behaviours during ... -
Relationship between Corneal Sensation, Blinking, and Tear Film Quality
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016-05-01)Purpose: To examine the possible role of corneal sensitivity and tear film quality in triggering a blink by investigating the relationship between blink rate, central corneal sensitivity threshold (CST), ocular surface ... -
The Relationship between Tear Meniscus Regularity and Conjunctival Folds
(Wolters Kluwer, 2014-09-01)Purpose: To investigate the capability of a new portable digital meniscometer (PDM) to measure tear meniscus radius (TMR) and tear meniscus height (TMH) at different locations along the lower lid and to evaluate relationships ... -
Relationship between vessel diameter and depth measurements within the limbus using ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)Purpose To establish a relationship between the diameter and depth position of vessels in the superior and inferior corneo-scleral limbus using ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT). Methods Volumetric ... -
Relationships between depth and δ15N of Arctic benthos vary among regions and trophic functional groups
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)Stable isotope ratios of nitrogen (δ15N) of benthic primary consumers are often significantly related to water depth. This relationship is commonly attributed to preferential uptake of 14N from sinking particulate organic ... -
A relative-rank measure for the rank transformation
(Elsevier, 2024-01)This research introduces a new ranking scheme capable of ordering competing units in a more continual manner. The classic ranks are functionalized by incorporating data range and quantile coverage simultaneously in the ... -
Release of Ciprofloxacin and Moxifloxacin From Daily Disposable Contact Lenses From an In Vitro Eye Model
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2015-10-04)Purpose.: To analyze the release of two fluoroquinolones, ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin, from conventional hydrogel (CH) and silicone hydrogel (SH) daily disposable contact lenses (CLs), comparing release from a fixed-volume ... -
Release of Ciprofloxacin-HCl and Dexamethasone Phosphate by Hyaluronic Acid Containing Silicone Polymers
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2012-04-19)The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the covalent incorporation of hyaluronic acid (HA) into conventional hydrogel and hydrogels containing silicone as models for contact lens materials on the uptake ... -
Release of Moxifloxacin from Contact Lenses Using an In Vitro Eye Model: Impact of Artificial Tear Fluid Composition and Mechanical Rubbing
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2016-08-11)Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the release of moxifloxacin from a variety of daily disposable (DD) contact lenses (CLs) under various conditions using a novel in vitro eye model. Methods: Four ... -
