With over 4.5 million tablatures and chord sequences (collectively known as tabs), the web holds vast quantities of hand annotated scores in non-standardised text files. These scores are typically error-prone and incomplete, and tab collections contain many duplicates, making retrieval of high quality tabs difficult. Despite this, tabs are by far the most popular means of sharing musical instru...

This descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted in inpatient nursing units and outpatient clinics in a cancer center in the midwestern United States. The sample of 153 healthcare providers included RNs, medical assistants, and radiology technicians. The fourth revision of the 30-item Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL R-IV) scale was used for measuring compassion fatigue, compassion sa...

This paper studies the behavior under iteration of the maps Tab(x, y) = (Fab(x)−y, x) of the plane R2, in which Fab(x) = ax if x ≥ 0 and bx if x < 0. The orbits under iteration correspond to solutions of the nonlinear difference equation xn+2 = 1/2(a− b)|xn+1|+1/2(a+ b)xn+1−xn. This family of piecewise-linear maps has the parameter space (a, b) ∈ R2. These maps are area-preserving homeomorphism...

Fig.1: t-score maps showing resting state correlations with PCC/preCun (p<0.05). Right column: significant differences between patients and controls. Tab.1: Brain regions correlating significantly (p<0.05) with PC/preCun in controls. Negative t-scores indicate anticorrelation. Tab.2: Brain regions correlating significantly (p<0.05) with PC/preCun in patients. Negative tscores indicate anti-corr...

BACKGROUND Variations in surgical technique of temporal artery biopsy (TAB) performed for diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) may contribute to high false-negative rates. This was a retrospective analysis of a large database that explored potential associations between specimen length and diagnostic sensitivity of TAB. METHODS Histopathological reports and medical records of patients who ...

The proposed Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission is intended to deliver a large rover to the Martian surface within 10 km of the target site. This paper presents computational fluid dynamics (CFD) predictions of forebody heating rates for two MSL entry configurations with fixed aerodynamic trim tabs. Results are compared to heating on a 70-deg sphere-cone reference geometry. All three heatshi...
