the present study aimed to examine the impact of life skills training on the components marital satisfaction of deaf women in the iranian deaf association(ida). a multiple-baseline, single-case experimental design was used. the statistical population consisted of all deaf women in the ida, in 2014-2015. a total of 3 deaf women who met the inclusion criteria were selected using a purposeful samp...

A fast T(1) measurement sequence using inversion recovery Look-Locker echo-planar imaging at steady state (IR LL-EPI SS) is presented. Delay time for a full magnetization recovery is not required in the sequence, saving acquisition time significantly for high-resolution T(1) mapping. Imaging parameters of the IR LL-EPI SS sequence were optimized to minimize the bias from the excitation pulses i...

Robotic navigation and interaction frequently require that the shape and motion of external objects and events be observed. Many interesting events occur at mixed scales. Subtle localized shape and motion often occurs together with long range movements. One of the chief challenges in recovering these events is to obtain high resolution imagery suitable for resolving small details, while simulta...

Background Aortic dissection is a life threatening condition, and the commonest presentation of the acute aortic syndrome, occurring in 80-90% of such cases. Identification of intimal tears is important to enable the success of an interventional procedure. MRI allows for black-blood contrast to depict the aortic vessel wall and intimal flap with positive contrast which help delineate tear and i...

A new method for determination of pyrethroids, pyrethrins, and piperonyl butoxide (PBO) by high-resolution gas chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS) was developed for aquatic sediments. The method detection limits for pyrethroids (15 compounds), pyrethrins, and PBO ranged from 0.16 to 1.50 ng/g sediment, which was suitable for detecting these chemicals at environmentally ...

purpose: to assess foveal thickness by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (sd-oct) during acute anterior uveitis (aau) in hla–b27 patients. methods : foveal thickness was measured at baseline and after clinical resolution of the uveitis. data of the affected eyes of 11 patients were compared to those of a fellow, healthy eyes and to those of counterpart volunteers. results: at basel...

In this paper, we consider compressive sensing (CS)based recovery of delays and Doppler frequencies of targets in high resolution radars. We propose a novel sub-Nyquist sampling method in the Fourier domain based on difference sets (DS), called DS-sampling, to create dictionaries with highly incoherent atoms. The coherence of the dictionary reaches the Welch minimum bound if the DS-sampling is ...

Captured human motion is widely used by the medical, surveillance, and entertainment industries. In these fields, many interesting motions occur at mixed scales. Subtle localized motion often occurs together with long range movements. One of the chief challenges in recovering these motions is to obtain high resolution imagery suitable for resolving small details, while simultaneously increasing...

Auditory filter theory dictates a physiological compromise between frequency and temporal resolution of cochlear signal processing. We examined neurophysiological correlates of these spectrotemporal tradeoffs in the human auditory system using auditory evoked brain potentials and psychophysical responses. Temporal resolution was assessed using scalp-recorded auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) ...

introduction treatment of severe hemorrhagic shock due to acute blood loss from traumatic injuries in a jehovah’s witness (jw) trauma patient is very challenging since hemostatic blood product resuscitation is limited by refusal of the transfusion of allogeneic blood products. case presentation we describe a multifaceted approach to the clinical care of a severely anemic jw trauma patient inclu...
