Does the shunt type determine mid-term outcome after Norwood operation?
OBJECTIVES With improved short-term outcomes the right ventricular to pulmonary artery shunt (Sano) has become the preferred pulmonary blood source in the Norwood procedure in many centres. However, most studies analysed consecutive cohorts, with a first modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (BT) followed by the Sano cohort. Besides, neither comprehensive preoperative risk analysis nor outcome beyond ...
متن کاملDoes Size Matter? Investigating User Input at a Larger Bandwidth
This study expands upon an existing model of students’ reading comprehension ability within an intelligent tutoring system. The current system evaluates students’ natural language input using a local student model. We examine the potential to expand this model by assessing the linguistic features of self-explanations aggregated across entire passages. We assessed the relationship between 126 st...
متن کاملFaculty Members’ Development in Agricultural Higher Education: Does the university size matter?

Previous research has suggested a positive association between development of human capitals in higher education institutions and their capacity to deal with the...
متن کاملDoes the ventricle size change after shunt operation of normal-pressure hydrocephalus?
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine whether ventricular size correlates with a positive clinical outcome following shunt placement. Hydrostatic valves (Dual-Switch-Valves) were implanted in 80 patients with NPH at Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin between September 1997 and January 2002. One year postoperatively, these patients underwent computerized tomography scanning, and their ventricu...
متن کاملPredicting Customer-Expectation-Based Warranty Cost for Smaller-the- Better and Larger-the-Better Performance Characteristics
The quality loss function assumes a fixed target and only accounts for immediate issues within manufacturing facilities whereas warranty loss occurs during customer use. Based on the two independent variables, product performance and consumers’ expectation, a methodology to predict the probability of customer complaint is presented in this paper. The formulation presented will serve as a basic ...
