An unusual alliance called the ARCHway Project is developing an Edition Production Technology (EPT), a technological infrastructure for collaborative research, teaching, and learning between computer scientists and specialists in Old English. Our goal is to identify and solve problems of mutual importance in building image-based electronic editions of significant cultural materials. The EPT wil...

AIMS To assess the cognitive and behavioral aspects of executive functioning (EF) and learning skills in extremely preterm (EPT) children compared with term control children aged 10 to 15 years. METHODS A total of 132 of 134 (98% of all eligible survivors) EPT children born at the 2 Swedish regional tertiary care centers from 1992 to 1998 (mean age = 12 years, mean birth weight = 718 g, and m...

T he coupling of electron and proton transfer reactions is central to a broad range of biological and chemical processes, including photosynthesis, respiration, and various solar energy devices. Elucidation of the fundamental physical principles underlying proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions (1–5), in which both electrons and protons are transferred, is critical for a complete und...

The present paper extends the so-called Effective Process Time (EPT) approach to single server flowlines with finite buffers and blocking. The power of the EPT approach is that it quantifies variability in workstation process times without the need to identify each of the contributing disturbances, and that it directly provides an algorithm for the actual computation of EPTs. It is shown that E...

Recently Trajectory-pooled Deep-learning Descriptors were shown to achieve state-of-the-art human action recognition results on a number of datasets. This paper improves their performance by applying rank pooling to each trajectory, encoding the temporal evolution of deep learning features computed along the trajectory. This leads to Evolution-Preserving Trajectory (EPT) descriptors, a novel ty...

BACKGROUND In this study, we report a rare case of an adult patient with essential palatal tremors (EPT) presenting as nasal clicks, instead of otic clicks or objective pulsatile tinnitus in common EPT. CASE PRESENTATION Nasal endoscopic examination and EMG recordings of the soft palate muscles were performed to confirm the source of the clicks. Initial treatment with lidocaine provided sympt...
