background while colorectal cancer (crc) is one of the most preventable causes of cancer mortality, it is one of the leading causes of cancer death in canada where crc screening uptake is suboptimal. given the increased rate of mortality and morbidity among mental health patients, their condition could be a potential barrier to crc screening due to greater difficulties in adhering to behaviours...

Processor testing approaches based on the execution of self-test programs have been recently proposed as an effective alternative to classic external tester-based testing and pure hardware built-in self-test (BIST) approaches. Software-based self-testing is a non-intrusive testing approach that embeds a “software tester” in the form of a self-test program in the processor on-chip memory. It has...

Introduction: To evaluate and compare shear bond strength of self-cure and  light-cure composites using a universal bonding system. Materials and Methods: Superficial coronal dentin of 62 intact extracted  premolars was exposed and bonding agent (All-Bond Universal) was applied over the  dentin surface according to the manufacturer instruction (self-etch mode). Then  samples were distribut...

BACKGROUND To study the influence of a nationwide albuminuria self-test program on the number of GP contacts for urinary complaints and/or kidney diseases and the number of newly diagnosed patients with kidney diseases by the GP. METHODS Data were used from the Netherlands Information Network of General Practice (LINH), including a representative sample of general practices with a dynamic pop...

We study self-training with products of latent variable grammars in this paper. We show that increasing the quality of the automatically parsed data used for self-training gives higher accuracy self-trained grammars. Our generative self-trained grammars reach F scores of 91.6 on the WSJ test set and surpass even discriminative reranking systems without selftraining. Additionally, we show that m...

Dogs are exceptionally successful at interpreting human pointing gestures to locate food hidden in one of two containers. However, it has repeatedly been questioned whether dogs rely on the pointing gesture or their success is increased by subtle cues from their human handler. In two experiments we used a standard two-way object-choice task to focus on this potential Clever Hans effect. We inve...
