background: although upper-extremity disability correlates with psychosocial aspects of illness the association with sleep disturbance in upper extremity disability is less certain. to evaluate whether sleep disturbance is associated with upper-extremity disability among patients with upper extremity illness, accounting for sociodemographic, condition-related, and psychosocial factors. methods:...

AbstractThe interference of the native language in acquiring a foreign language is unavoidable. In an attempt to explore the phenomenon why this occurs, the study was conducted in English as a foreign language writing. The study also investigated how the native language interference occurred in the writing process. In fact, this qualitative study explored the reasons and the process of na...

PURPOSE During the early postoperative period, the stability of the fixation of a hamstring graft to the bone tunnel is the primary factor in limiting rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to evaluate if the initial fixation strength of a new suspension screw is comparable to that of the biodegradable interference screw fixation technique in the hamstring reconstruction of the anterior cruc...

We examine the influence of bilingualism and inhibitory control on the ability to learn a novel language. Using a statistical learning paradigm, participants learned transitional probabilities in two novel languages based on the International Morse Code. First, participants listened to a lowinterference language to test word segmentation skill. Next, participants listened to a high-interference...

Whole-class discussions in which students and teacher reason together and coconstruct knowledge are, next to small group work, important in communities of learners. In this study we address the question of what strategies history teachers use to provoke and support collaborative historical reasoning in whole-class discussions. Analyses included transcripts of four whole-class discussions and st...

Cross-technology communication (CTC) is a technique that enables direct communication among different wireless technologies. Recent works in this area have made positive progress, but high-throughput CTC from ZigBee to WiFi remains an open problem. In this paper, we propose ZigFi, a novel CTC framework that enables direct communication from ZigBee to WiFi. Without impacting the ongoing WiFi tra...

High-frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) is of great significance for maritime detection, but in the HFSWR echo signal, ship targets are often submerged a variety clutter and interference, making it difficult to detect vessels. In this paper, we propose an intelligent detection algorithm concealed strong complex interference environments. The has two stages: preprocessing target detection. sta...

In accordance with the Costa theorem, the interference which is independent of the channel input and known non-causally at the transmitter, does not affect the capacity of the Gaussian channel. In some applications, the known interference depends on the input and hence has some information. In this paper, we study the channel with input dependent interference and prove a capacity theorem that n...

MicroRNAs are an important subclass of non-coding RNAs (ncRNA), and serve as main players into RNA interference (RNAi). Mature microRNA derived from stem-loop structure called precursor. Identification of precursor microRNA (pre-miRNA) is essential step to target microRNA in whole genome. The present work proposed 25 novel local features for identifying stemloop structure of pre-miRNAs, which c...
