It is unknown whether the Autism-spectrum quotient (AQ) can discriminate between Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with or without comorbid Substance Use Disorder (SUD). ANOVA's were used to analyse the mean AQ (sub)scores of 129 adults with ASD or ADHD. We applied receiver operating characteristic (ROC) computations to assess discriminant po...

In this paper we use a piecewise constant Smolyak approximation algorithm to approximate functions whose partial mixed fractional derivatives of order 0 < α ≤ 1 in each variable are bounded. We prove that the L1 error of our approximation is of order (log card(Aq,s))(card(Aq,s)), where card(Aq,s) denotes the number of function evaluations used by the algorithm.

introduction: in this study, we reported the reliability and validity of bedside version of persian wab (p-wab-1) adapted from western aphasia battery (wab-r)1,2. p-wab-1 is a clinical linguistic measuring tool to determine severity and type of aphasia in brain damaged patients based on aphasia quotient (aq) as a functional measure. for the purposes of a quick clinical screening of aphasia in p...

In this paper, we propose an elliptic algebra Aq,p;π̂(ŝl2) which is based on the relations RLL = LLR , where R and R are the dynamical R-maxtrices of A (1) 1 type face model with the elliptic moduli chosen differently.From the corresponding Ding-Frenkel correspondence , we show that the algebra Aq,p;π̂(ŝl2) at level one is the algebra of screening currents for q-deformed Virasoro algebra. The bos...

AQ in cities varies time and space with the atmosphere's physical state. UBL seasonal–diurnal variations (Beijing, Paris) will impact AQ. Isolated clusters of tall buildings affect flow pollutant exchange (London, Beijing).

BACKGROUND Immuno-modulatory effects of ginseng, including both immuno-stimulatory and immuno-suppressive effects, have been widely reported. This study aims to determine whether the paradoxical immuno-modulatory effect is related to unique phytochemical profiles of different North American (NA) ginseng, namely aqueous (AQ) and alcoholic (ALC) extracts. METHODS AQ and ALC extracts were prepar...

The enthalpy of hydrolysis of the enzyme-catalyzed (heavy meromyosin) conversion of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) to adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate has been investigated using heat-conduction microcalorimetry. Enthalpies of reaction were measured as a function of ionic strength (0.05-0.66 mol kg-1), pH (6.4-8.8), and temperature (25-37 degrees C) in Tris/HCl buffer. Th...

The Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) is among the most widely used scales assessing autistic traits in the general population. However, some aspects of the AQ are questionable. To test its scale properties, the AQ was translated into Swedish, and data were collected from 349 adults, 130 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 219 without ASD, and analysed with Rasch. Several scale properties of th...
