Motor equivalence is a key feature of speech motor control, since speakers must constantly adapt to various phonetic contexts and speaking conditions. The Uncontrolled Manifold (UCM) idea offers a theoretical framework for considering motor equivalence. In this framework coordination among motor control variables is separated into two subspaces, one in which changes in control variables modify ...

BACKGROUND Malaria still infects many Malawian children, and it is a cause of death in some of them. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) help in negating immune-related pathology, it but can also favor multiplication of malaria parasites. The question remains whether children recovering from uncomplicated malaria (UCM) have higher Tregs and interleukin (IL)-10 levels in convalescence. METHODS We recru...

A spectroscopic analysis of the whole sample of Hα Emission-Line Galaxies (ELGs) contained in the lists 1 & 2 of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) objectiveprism survey is presented. A significant fraction (59%) of star-forming galaxies with low ionization or high extinction properties has been found. This kind of ELG is only incompletely detected in the blue or in other ELG surveys. ...

The flipped classroom model is an instructional model in which students learn basic subject matter knowledge prior to in-class meetings, then come to the classroom for active learning experiences. Previous research has shown that the flipped classroom model can motivate students towards active learning, can improve their higher-order thinking skills, and can improve their collaborative learning...

Semi-formal software techniques have been very successful in industry, government institutions and other areas such as academia. Arguably, they owe a large part of their success to graphical notation, which is more human-oriented than counterpart text-based formal notation techniques. However, ensuring the consistency between two or models one known challenges these This work looks closely at s...

Although feature modelling is a frequently used approach to the task of modelling commonality and variability within product lines, there is currently no standard modelling notation or methodology. On the assumption that the commonality/variability model will be used as a basis for architecture design, our modelling notation allows features to be augmented with behavioural detail, captured usin...

INTRODUCTION The University of Chicago Medicine (UCM) partners with Chicago Family Health Center (Chicago Family) in the Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Program (DRP), a charity care program to screen uninsured and underinsured patients with diabetes for diabetic retinopathy, which is a leading cause of preventable vision loss in the US. The DRP faced operational challenges throughout its pilot ...

Treatment of sparse, proliferating cultures of 3T3 cells (target cells) with medium conditioned by exposure to density-inhibited 3T3 cultures resulted in an inhibition ofgrowth and division in the target cells when compared to similar treatment with unconditioned medium (UCM). This differential effect of conditioned medium (CM) and UCM on target cells was demonstrated using three assay systems ...

Background: The inability to have vaginal intercourse despite several attempts, defined as unconsummated marriage (UCM). It is a problematic worldwide sexual disorder. Lack of sexual knowledge has been shown affected UCM couples, so, we designed a qualitative narrative study to explain how a sample of Iranian unconsummated couples experienced sexuality when they were children and to explore wha...

This paper presents the study of control and management of technological processes in coal mines through means for displaying information. Information flow in the analysed closed systems consists of production process in an Underground Coal Mine (UCM), Computer System (CS), Display Units (DUs), Operators (Os) and Control Devices (CD). The mathematical model is applied for describing information...
