BACKGROUND There is a well-established relationship between obesity, as measured by body mass index (BMI), and overall health risk. The presence of body fat is a known limitation to ultrasound, but it is unknown whether any decrease in quality due to obesity limits the interpretability of focused bedside echocardiography (FBE). OBJECTIVES To correlate obesity, as measured by BMI, with image q...

The area of forensic entomology has developed to become an increasingly important aspect of forensic science. Insect larvae and adult insects found on human corpses can provide crucial information for the post-mortem interval (PMI) estimation. In July 2010, a decomposing female corpse was found in Xiangjiang River of Changsha section. The main larvae found on the corpse were identified to be Bo...

This paper presents a new corpus-based method for calculating the semantic similarity of two target words. Our method, called Second Order Co-occurrence PMI (SOC-PMI), uses Pointwise Mutual Information to sort lists of important neighbor words of the two target words. Then we consider the words which are common in both lists and aggregate their PMI values (from the opposite list) to calculate t...

The present paper investigates the choice of objective weighting schemes for computing the Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI). To this end, the principal components variable selection strategy considered by Jolliffee (1972, 1973) is applied to monthly data of five key diffusion indexes for the period from January 1948 to October 2004, compiled by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). It turn...

Although research acknowledges the role of IS in a merger, it has not addressed the issue of boundary management during the development of ISs aimed at supporting merged organizations. Yet, it has been shown, albeit not in a merger context, that knowledge sharing during IS development involving agents from different communities is critical and difficult. Hence, our study addresses the questions...

Artemisia species are a rich source of herbal remedies with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. We evaluated PMI-5011, an ethanolic extract of Artemisia dracunculus L., on neuropathy in high-fat diet-fed mice, a model of prediabetes and obesity developing oxidative stress and proinflammatory changes in peripheral nervous system. C57Bl6/J mice fed high-fat diet for 16 weeks developed o...
