Gas-phase acidities of 15 aliphatic carboxylic acids, X CH -,COOH, have been calculated using the MNDO method. Among the substituted groups exist the electron donor alkyl groups and electron acceptor halogens. The average error in acidity is within the experimental uncertainty of the data. Systematic errors have been found for the substituents which form internal hydrogen bondings. A reaso...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to provide an update of the evidence on the efficacy of gross motor development interventions in young children (0-5 years) from 2007 to 2015. METHODS Searches were conducted of six electronic databases: PUBMED, Medline (Ovid), ERIC (Ebsco), Embase, SCOPUS and Psychinfo. Studies included any childcare-based, preschool-based, home-based, or community-b...

Improving the accuracy of the measurements in building automation systems without increasing operational costs is an essential step if the overall comfort and energy efficiency of buildings are to be improved. Data reconciliation and gross error elimination have emerged as key techniques for reducing both random noise and gross errors on the outputs of sensors. This paper focuses on using actua...

We present an approach to design of fault tolerant computing systems. In this paper, a technique is employed that enable the combination of several codes, in order to obtain flexibility in the design of error correcting codes. Code combining techniques are very effective, which one of these codes are turbo codes. The Algorithm-based fault tolerance techniques that to detect errors rely on the c...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Differences in definitions of socioeconomic status and between study designs hinder their comparability across countries. We aimed to analyze the correlation between 3 widely used macrosocioeconomic status indicators and clinical outcomes. METHODS We selected population-based studies reporting incident stroke risk and/or 30-day case-fatality according to prespecified cr...

This systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the risk of development of concomitant strabismus due to refractive errors. Eligible studies published from 1946 to April 1, 2016 were identified from MEDLINE and EMBASE that evaluated any kinds of refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and anisometropia) as an independent factor for concomitant exotropia and concomitant esotrop...
