MVP is a new framework for allowing websites to use diverse knowledge-based authentication schemes. One application is its use in conducting ecologically valid user studies of authentication schemes under the same experimental conditions. We introduce MVP and its key characteristics, discuss implementation of several authentication schemes, and report on a user study successfully comparing four...

This abstract describes work in developing knowledge base editing and debugging tools for the Multimission VICAR Planner (MVP) system. MVP uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) Planning techniques to automatically construct executable complex image processing procedures (using models of the smaller constituent image processing subprograms) in response to image processing requests made to the JPL Mu...

mitral valve prolapse (mvp) is a relatively frequent valvular abnormality. in both children and adults with mvp, an increased incidence of ventricular arrhythmias has been reported. qt dispersion, defined as the difference in duration between the longest qt interval and the shortest one, for a given set of electrocardiographic leads has been proposed as a sign of regional difference in cardiac ...

BACKGROUND Mitral regurgitation (MR) represents the principal indication for reoperation in patients after repair of atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD). Reports of mitral valvuloplasty (MVP) in such patients are few; the alternative, mitral valve replacement (MVR), necessitates commitment to future valve replacement and long-term anticoagulation. We sought to determine the outcome of those ...

Introduction MVP is a common disorder affecting 2-3% of the general population. MVP patients with severe MR may remain asymptomatic for a number of years; however, LV systolic function may be impaired post-operatively, even among those with normal pre-operative ejection fraction (EF). Myocardial strain is the assessment of myocardial local deformation and may provide a more accurate assessment ...

Viral infections including cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, adenovirus, and BK virus are a common and predictable problem in transplant recipients. While cellular immune therapies have been successfully used to tackle infectious complications in transplant recipients, manufacturing immunotherapies to address the multitude of possible pathogens can be technically challenging and labor-intens...

The first experiment described here asks whether listeners are able to selectively attend to one of two sentences differing in median vertical plane (MVP) location using a paradigm developed for azimuthal attention [1]. It also asks whether their ability to use MVP cues improves with a difference in fundamental frequency (Fo) between the two sentences. Listeners attend to one of two simultaneou...

Multivariate Pattern (MVP) classification can map different cognitive states to the brain tasks. One of the main challenges in MVP analysis is validating the generated results across subjects. However, analyzing multi-subject fMRI data requires accurate functional alignments between neuronal activities of different subjects, which can rapidly increase the performance and robustness of the final...

Non-syndromic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common degenerative valvulopathy, predisposing to arrhythmia and sudden death. The etiology of MVP is suspected to be under genetic control, as supported by familial cases and its manifestation in genetic syndrome (e.g., Marfan syndrome). One candidate etiological mechanism is a perturbation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling of the valve...

Einleitung: Das Marfan-Syndrom (MFS) ist eine genetische Erkrankung des Bindegewebes. Die Aortenwurzel-Dilatation ist ein Hauptkriterium der Gent-Nosologie. Die Duraektasie und der Mitralklappenprolaps (MVP) tragen zu einem systemischen Score der Nosologie bei. An einem rein pädiatrischen Patientenkollektiv wird die Prävalenz der Duraektasie ermittelt und auf Korrelationen zu kardiovaskulären M...
