In this paper we consider the recovery of missing regions in images and we compare the performance of two recent prediction algorithms that utilize sparse recovery. The first algorithm is based on recent work that tries to find sparse atomic decompositions (AD) using l1-norm regularization, 3, 16 while the second algorithm employs iterated denoising (ID). 8 Experimental results indicate that ID...

Objectives: Motor therapy plays a key role on the bilateral coordination skills and motor activities of children with Intellectual Disability (ID). The present research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of motor therapy on motor skills and bilateral coordination skills of students with ID.  Methods: This was a quasi-experimental research with pre-test and post-test and control group desig...

Between seizures the brain of patients with epilepsy generates pathological patterns of synchronous activity, designated as interictal epileptiform discharges (ID). Using microelectrodes in the hippocampal formations of 8 patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy, we studied ID by simultaneously analyzing action potentials from individual neurons and the local field potentials (LFPs) ...

OBJECTIVE To study mode of birth, perinatal health and death in children born to mothers with intellectual disability (ID) in Sweden. DESIGN Population-based register study. SETTING National registers; the National Patient Register linked to the Medical Birth Register. SAMPLE Children of first-time mothers with ID (n = 326; classified in the International Classification of Diseases 8-10) ...

Sea turtles spend the majority of their immature and adult lives in foraging grounds, yet few studies have examined their abundance and condition in these areas when compared to more accessible nesting beach habitats. Here, a 5-year dive log, photo-identification (photo-ID) and surface encounter datasets were used to investigate the abundance, individual movements and distribution of sea turtle...

Patients with schizophrenia elicit several clinical features, such as psychotic symptoms, cognitive impairment, and subtle decline of intelligence. The latter two features become evident around the onset of the illness, although they may exist even before the disease onset in a substantial proportion of cases. Here, we review the literature concerning intelligence decline (ID) during the progre...

Background and Aims: Iron Deficiency (ID) is a common obstetric problem and nutritional disorder that occurs mostly in developing countries. Hence, nutritional studies are required every few years to determine the necessary healthcare interventions for pregnant women. This cross-sectional study evaluated the plasma iron, ferritin, transferrin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and unsaturated...

OBJECTIVE To compare the treatment costs of insulin glargine (IG; Lantus) to detemir (ID; Levemir), both combined with bolus insulin aspart (NovoRapid) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Germany. METHODS Cost comparison was based on data of a 1-year randomised controlled trial. IG was administered once daily and ID once (57% of patients) or twice daily (43%) according to treatment response. At the e...
