Pulmonary MR Angiography in Swyer-James Syndrome

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the pulmonary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) imaging findings in Swyer – James syndrome (SJS) as a alternative imaging modalities. Methods: Thirteen patients had posteroanterior inspiratory/expiratory chest X-ray films and pulmonary MRA with SJS (6 males, 7 females) were retrospectively studied. Gradient-echo pulmonary MRA was performed in all...

Jayanthi Kumar, Elizabeth Kendall

This paper outlines a new approach to determining the effect of part complexity on the cost of manufacturing a composite part. It also describes a methodology for predicting cost based on complexity that uses the techniques of Method Time Measurement (MTM). The proposed methodology offers a relatively simple method to predict the fabrication time of a complex component. It is based on the theor...

Edward Calvin Kendall.

E Kendal l was b o r n o n 8 t h M a r c h 1886 in South Norwalk, Connecticut, USA. Kendall obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Science in 1908, Master of Science in 1909, and Ph. D. in Chemistry in 1910. From 1910-1911 he worked as a research chemist with Parke Davis where his main task was to isolate thyroid hormones.1 He continued to work on thyroid harmones till 1914 while working at St. Lu...

The Kendall Rank Correlation Coefficient

The Kendall (1955) rank correlation coefficient evaluates the degree of similarity between two sets of ranks given to a same set of objects. This coefficient depends upon the number of inversions of pairs of objects which would be needed to transform one rank order into the other. In order to do so, each rank order is represented by the set of all pairs of objects (e.g., [a,b] and [b,a] are the...
