Early and delayed 201Tl SPECT studies were performed on 13 patients with intracranial meningiomas, which were classified in three groups according to their histological types: meningothelial (n = 7); transitional and fibroblastic (n = 3); and malignant types (n = 3). The early uptake indices (UI, ratios of average counts/pixel in the lesion to those of the contralateral area on early images) we...

A Railway Interloc king System (RIS) is an Embedded System (namely a Supervisory Control System) that ensures the safe op eration of the devic es in a R ailway Station. Of course a RIS is a Safet y Critical System. In this p aper we explore the p ossibility of integrating automatic formal veri cation methods in a given industry RIS design ow. The main obstructions to be over come in our work ar...

The present study investigated whether lexical codes contribute to retention of verbal information in working memory. We used event-related brain potentials (ERPs) recorded while participants were performing a serial recall task to show differences in brain activity during retention of words or pseudowords. The effects of lexical status and memory load (task difficulty) upon ERP activity during...

to compare the effects of topiramate versus valproate sodium as an add-on therapy to a combination of lithium and risperidone (li+ris) on body weight and serum lipid profile in children and adolescents with bipolar disorder.in a single-blind randomized clinical trial, thirty children and adolescents with bipolar disorder type i in the manic or mixed phase, treated with the combination of li+ris...

RIS is a New Delhi-based autonomous policy think-tank supported by the Government of India and devoted to trade and development issues. Its work programme focuses on policy research and capacity building on multilateral trade and financial negotiations, regional economic cooperation in Asia, South-South cooperation, new technologies and development, and strategic policy responses of developing ...

Soil drought is an important problem in plant cultivation. Remote sensing using reflectance indices (RIs) can detect early changes plants caused by soil drought. The development of new RIs which are sensitive to these applied task. Previously, we revealed 46 normalized difference based on a spectral region visible light were the action short-term water shortage pea under controlled conditions (...
