PURPOSE To assess the intra- and inter-operator variability of the manual planning of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and to evaluate the influence of these factors on the functional parameters of the left ventricle (LV). METHOD The study population consisted of 10 healthy volunteers. For each subject the manual planning of the short-axis cine acquisitions was carried out twice by o...

Abstract Aim To investigate the inter and intra reliability of using 3D imaging to measure wounds. Method 20 wound models 4 different shaped wounds in 5 colours were created from plastic mouldable beads. images taken BlasterX Senz3D camera measured GPC Wound Measure application (version 3.15.0.0, UK). Intra-user was determined comparing measurements each model. Inter-user by clinicians photogra...

introduction: orexin-a and b (hypocretin 1 and 2) are neuropeptides that are mostly expressed in the posterior and lateral hypothalamus (lh). intracisternal (icv) and intratechal (it) injections of orexin-a (hypocretin-1) have been shown to elicit analgesic responses in formalin test. however, the locations of central sites that may mediate these effects have not been clearly elucidated. orexin...

response surface models predict crop yield based on crop density and this is an important tool for evaluation competition at different density and hence selection of optimum density based on yield. in order to study intra and inter specific competition in intercropping bean (phaseolus vulgaris) and sesame (sesamum indicum), an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdo...

Both intra- and inter-sexual selection may crucially determine a male's fitness. Their interplay, which has rarely been experimentally investigated, determines a male's optimal reproductive strategy and thus is of fundamental importance to the understanding of a male's behaviour. Here we investigated the relative importance of intra- and inter-sexual selection for male fitness in the common liz...

In the title compound, C(42)H(33)NO(2), the six-membered cyclo-hexa-none ring adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation and the five-membered pyrrolidine ring is in an envelope conformation. The mol-ecular structure features four intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions and an intra-molecular C-H⋯π inter-action. Furthermore, the crystal packing is stabilized by an inter-molecular C-H⋯O and thre...

Traffic Engineering (TE) is the process of controlling how traffic flows through a network in order to facilitate efficient and reliable network operations while simultaneously optimizing network resource utilization and traffic performance. TE improves the management of data traffic within a network and provides the better utilization of network resources. Many research works considers intra a...

Weichang’an (WCA) pill, a traditional Chinese patent medicine consisting of ten Chinese medicinal herbs, has been used to treat irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia for several decades. In this study, twelve bioactive constituents in the methanol extract of WCA were accurately identified since MS/MS fragmentation behavior of the references and the standards by using HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS...
