BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intravenous heparin therapy is often used in patients presenting with transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke as either bridging therapy for anticoagulation with warfarin or primary therapy in suspected intracranial arterial dissection, crescendo TIAs, or suspected hypercoagulable states. We attempted to validate the use of a weight-based nomogram for heparin-adjusted t...

introduction: about one fifth of couples are infertile and 2 million couples are added to this amount annually. the variety in the rate of adjustment reflects the interpersonal vulnerabilities that affects the capacity of person cope with a life stressful events such as infertility. the goal of psychological interventions is recognition and the person to more cope with this situation. according...

There is extensive scientific evidence of the serious psychological and social effects that peer victimization may have on students, among them internalizing problems such as anxiety or negative self-esteem, difficulties related to low self-efficacy and lower levels of social adjustment. Although a direct relationship has been observed between victimization and these effects, it has not yet bee...

This paper presents a new technique for estimating a multiview reconstruction given pair-wise Euclidean reconstructions up to rotations, translations and scales. The partial reconstructions are glued by the following three step procedure: (i) Camera rotations consistent with all reconstructions are estimated linearly. (ii) All the pair-wise reconstructions are modified according to the new rota...

Using a simple model with bimodal dynamics, we investigate the intra- and inter-system entrainment of the two different time scales involved in the chaotic oscillations. The transition between mode-locked and mode-unlocked chaos is analyzed for a single system. For coupled oscillators, we demonstrate full and partial synchronization patterns depending on the adjustment between the fast and slow...

A 23-year-old woman without history of antecedent vocal, respiratory, or sleep disorders received vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy for refractory partial epilepsy and developed sleep-related stridor during the course of parameter titration. Reduction of VNS current during polysomnography completely eliminated stridor. We conclude that VNS may cause sleep-related stridor in rare cases, expa...

Established …rms often fail to maintain leadership following disruptive market shifts. We argue that such …rms are more prone to internal resistance. A radical adjustment of assets a¤ects the distribution of employee rents, creating winners and losers. Losers resist large changes when strong customer goodwill cushions the consequences. Partial adaptation may lead winners to depart to form new …...

Cross-sectional studies of attitude-behavior relationships are vulnerable to the inflation of correlations by common method variance (CMV). Here, a model is presented that allows partial correlation analysis to adjust the observed correlations for CMV contamination and determine if conclusions about the statistical and practical significance of a predictor have been influenced by the presence o...
