BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To report the incidence of procedural complications of coiling of ruptured intracranial aneurysms leading to permanent disability or death in a consecutive series of 681 patients and to identify risk factors for these events. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 1995 and July 2005, 681 consecutive patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms were treated with detachabl...

Procedural memory, which is rooted in the basal ganglia, plays an important role in the implicit learning of motor and cognitive skills. Few studies have examined procedural learning in either Tourette syndrome (TS) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), despite basal ganglia abnormalities in both of these neurodevelopmental disorders. We aimed to assess procedural learning in chil...

This study examined the role of procedural memory in adult second language (L2) development. Participants were trained on an artificial language under either explicit or implicit conditions. Development in the L2 was assessed by grammar tests at two time points. Measures of procedural memory were administered and were used to create high and low procedural groups. Results revealed an advantage ...

In this paper we describe an approach to the automated specification of procedural textures to be used in rendering, based on representative samples. Procedural textures exhibit many advantages over traditional surface texturing techniques, but unfortunately finding the correct procedural texture and appropriate parameters to create the desired texture can be a daunting task for even the most e...

INTRODUCTION Procedural parameters in the imperative paradigm are hardly exploited in computing literature. Among the rare examples, Allison used procedural parameters to represent continuations, and van Eijk employed procedural parameters in generating all paths from the root of a binary tree to each of its leaves. To fertilize the field of procedural parameters, this note presents a use of pr...

This paper presents a new definition for Plans The objects defined are called Plan Nets, and are similar in spirit to Sacerdoti's Procedural Nets (1975) It is argued that Plan Nets are more descriptive tham Procedural Nets, because they can easily describe iterative behaviour The Plan Net definition is motivated by providing an operational semantics for the Procedural Net, and noticing that all...

social norms are rules and expectations by which a society guides the behavior of its members based on the process of social control, the level of political legitimacy and procedural justice practices in the areas of governance, social order is guaranteed. in this study, the independent variables associated with three domains of social control, procedural justice and social capital to norm comp...

AIMS Inflammatory markers may serve as an important prognostic predictor in patients with coronary heart diseases. In patients undergoing coronary interventions, it has been shown that baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) could predict late clinical restenosis. Only a few small studies have examined the possible relationship with angiographic restenosis. In patients with stable angina pectoris,we ...

Groups use procedural structures to organize their efforts in meetings. These structures are affected by group members’ preferences for the degree of procedural order they want in a meeting, as well as by the communication media available in the meeting environment. Analysis of thirty partially distributed experimental groups that met over a series of four sessions was conducted by using two me...
