Little is known about psychophysiological correlates of interpretation bias in social anxiety. To address this issue, the authors measured event-related brain potentials (ERPs) in high and low socially anxious individuals during a task wherein ambiguous scenarios were resolved with either a positive or negative ending. Specifically, the authors examined modulations of the P600, an ERP that peak...

Freshwater turtles may ingest baited fish hooks because many are opportunistic scavengers. Although the ingestion of fish hooks is known to be a source of mortality in multiple vertebrate groups, the prevalence of hook ingestion by freshwater turtles has not been well studied. We trapped turtles from five rivers in the southeastern United States and used radiographs to examine over 600 individu...

666 BMJ | 1 OCTOBER 2011 | VOLUME 343 After a third reading and heated debate in the House of Commons, the Health and Social Care Bill was passed by 316 votes to 251 on 7 September. It received its first reading in the House of Lords, little more than a formality, the next day but will be subject to far more rigorous debate at its second reading in October. Despite more than 1000 amendments in ...

We have developed an accurate procedure for measurement of plasma fibrinogen. Turbidity resulting from heating (56#{176}C, 20 mm) plasma diluted with a new “zwitterionic” buffered-saline reagent (pH 5.6) is nephelometrically measured (600 nm). We evaluated the method both by confirming the accuracy of its prestandardization and calibration on a new clinical nephelometer, and by comparative stan...

The isoenzymes carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) and III (CAIII) have been measured by radioimmunoassay in the livers of male and female rats aged from 21 to 800 days. No sexual dimorphism at 21 days was found, but from 50 to 400 days both isoenzymes show sexual differences. From 600 days onwards, these differences are less apparent. CAIII concentrations in two 'fast' fibre muscles and one 'slow' fi...

This paper uses Support Vector Machines (SVM) to fuse multiple classifiers for an offline signature system. From the signature images, global and local features are extracted and the signatures are verified with the help of Gaussian empirical rule, Euclidean and Mahalanobis distance based classifiers. SVM is used to fuse matching scores of these matchers. Finally, recognition of query signature...

Abstract Fruit fly ( Bactrocera sp) is one of the most harmful pests in fruit cultivation. This pest detrimental because it directly attacks agricultural products, namely produced by plants. Methyl eugenol an insect-attractant compound, especially for male flies. study was carried out from May to October 2022 determine number flies caught using methyl bait traps at dusung fruits four villages A...

Resumen. A la hora de abordar la creación de una Biblioteca Digital se deben resolver tres problemas principales: el diseño de una BD que almacene tanto información estructurada como no estructurada (principalmente textos planos e imágenes), el diseño de aplicaciones para la alimentación de la BD y el diseño de interfaces de consulta para acceder a la misma probablemente vía Internet. Unido a t...
