1. Ashurst and Bromer's classification of ankle fractures is a useful one, but falls into the complexities of subdivision into sequential progression of severity, i.e. 'degrees' of fracture. 2. A similar criticism can be made of the Lauge-Hansen classification which has an added semantic disadvantage. Doubts are also cast upon the validity of the direct application of experimental results in ca...

Effective attention and memory skills are fundamental to typical development and essential for achievement during the formal education years. It is critical to identify the specific mechanisms linking efficiency of attentional selection of an item and the quality of its memory retention. The present study capitalized on the spatial cueing paradigm to examine the role of selection via suppressio...

one of the main goals of government is to increase economic growth and public welfare. therefore, the recognition of useful factors that facilitate achievement of this goal has critical role in economic literature. this study focuses on the effect of gender inequality on the reduction of economic growth and investigate whether gender inequality have significant effect on economic development an...

There is growing recognition of the importance of the role of architecture in determining the quality of a software system. While a good architecture cannot guarantee attainment of quality goals, a poor architecture can prevent their achievement. It is particularly important to evaluate the performance of a distributed system architecture. Errors made early can cause excessive overhead for comm...

The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is a model for restructuring primary care with a focus on improved access to care and clinical excellence. However, to date, the evidence on its effect on healthcare utilization and expenditures has been quite mixed. One possible reason for this may lie in the flexibility with which a practice can meet the thresholds for PCMH recognition, adopting practi...

Achievement goals are a powerful construct for understanding students’ classroom experiences and performance, yet most work examining achievement goals relies on self-report measures gathered through questionnaires. The current work aims to assess achievement goals using a task choice embedded within a typical classroom activity. Results show the behavioral measure of achievement goals predicts...

This paper proposes a preprocessing technique for the automatic transcription of performances produced by a musical instrument (or other sound source) capable of timbre variations. Voice recognition techniques will be exploited to gather information about timbre, then a clustering approach will be used to reduce data cardinality, and, finally, data dimensionality will be further reduced using m...
