Outcome in Stroke Care To the Editor: We read with great interest the recent article by McNaughton and colleagues1 regarding the relationship between clinical processes and outcomes of stroke care in the setting of 3 hospitals in New Zealand. Stroke may have devastating outcomes for patients, families, and society. The hypothesis that understanding clinical care processes may lead to sustainabl...

Abstract In the context of propositional logics, we apply semantics modulo satisfiability—a restricted which comprehends only valuations that satisfy some specific set formulas—with aim to efficiently solve computational tasks. Three possible such applications are developed. We begin by studying possibility implicitly representing rational McNaughton functions in Łukasiewicz Infinitely-valued L...

water quality prediction is a valuable tool for pollutant control in aquatic environments. a river system is selected and one-dimensional flow is assumed for the simulation of pollutant transport in this paper. advective and diffusive terms of transport equation are considered separately. different functions of advective transport are proposed and applied for a specified velocity on the discret...

chess is considered as a cognitive game because of severe engagement of the mental resources during playing. the purpose of this study is evaluation of frontal lobe function of chess players with matched non-players. wisconsin card sorting test (wcst) data showed no difference between the player and non-player groups in preservation error and completed categories but surprisingly showed signifi...

Several regions of the rat brain contain neurons known as head-direction celis, which encode the animal's directional heading during spatial navigation. This paper presents a biophysical model of head-direction cell acti vity, which suggests that a thalamocortical circuit might compute the rat's head direction by integrating the angular velocity of the head over time. The model was implemented ...

by the method of weight coefficients, techniques of real analysis andhermite-hadamard's inequality, a half-discrete hardy-hilbert-type inequalityrelated to the kernel of the hyperbolic cosecant function with the best possibleconstant factor expressed in terms of the extended riemann-zeta function is proved.the more accurate equivalent forms, the operator expressions with the norm,the reverses a...

objectives: hemiplegia is a non-progressive damage in premature growing brain which causes movement disorders in one side of the body. the objective of present research is to study the method of modified constraints induced movement therapy (cimt) which can be appropriate on unimanual and bimanual functions of children with hemiplegia. methods: this single-blinded, randomized, control trial stu...

abstract some issues such as dehydration, local and chronological disproportion of rainfall, low productivity of water in agricultural sector, increasing demand for agricultural products due to increase in population participate with doughtiness are the most challenges of agricultural water. these factors caused water to be as one of the important and scarce inputs is agricultural products. the...
