This paper proposes a SystemC based extension for the modeling of TimeTriggered Architecture (TTA) based real-time embedded systems. The extension called Executable Time-Triggered Model (E-TTM) supports the time-triggered model of computation and provides a time domain deterministic modeling framework based on SystemC. E-TTM can be used from the architectural design phase to support early funct...

A mineração temporal de textos (temporal text mining TTM) é uma técnica cujo objetivo é descobrir a estrutura latente e padrões temporais em coleções de texto. Estas características são importantes em coleções em que os tópicos de interesse mudam frequentemente com o passar do tempo. Além disso, a mineração temporal de textos é útil em ferramentas de sumarização e descoberta de tendências. Nest...

BACKGROUND Social media offer a great opportunity to deliver smoking cessation treatment to young adults, but previous online and social media interventions targeting health behavior change have struggled with low participant engagement. We examined engagement generated by content based on the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (TTM) in a motivationally tailored smoking cessation interve...

STUDY QUESTION In the prediction of time to menopause (TTM), what is the added value of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) when mother's age at natural menopause (ANM) is also known? SUMMARY ANSWER AMH is a more accurate predictor of individual TTM than mother's age at menopause. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Mother's ANM is considered a proxy for daughter's ANM although studies on its predictive accurac...

Background: Transtheoretical model (TTM) has been recognized as a common theoretical model in researches in terms of addictive behaviors. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian brief version of the TTM for hookah tobacco smoking cessation in a sample of Iranian rural adults who were in the preparation stage for hookah cessation.Methods: This was a valida...

Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) after cardiac arrest (CA) is a leading cause of mortality and long-term neurological disorders in survivors. Targeted temperature management (TTM) has been rigorously studied as way to improve results compared normal body for preventing secondary damage HIBI. We report case successful TTM patient who was suspected have HIBI resuscitation from cardiovascular ...

Tourette’s Syndrome (TS) and Trichotillomania (TTM) are both subsumed under a larger category of repetitive behavior disorders. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the most recent behavioral research on TS and TTM. A description of both disorders is provided along with the most recent research on their etiology and maintenance. Behavioral treatments are then discussed with an...

INTRODUCTION We describe indications and surgical technique for dividing the stapedius and tensor tympani tendons during middle ear surgery. Middle ear muscle reflexes involve contraction of the tensor tympani muscle (TTM) and stapedius muscle (SM) to increase impedance of the middle ear, and may shield the inner ear from loud, continuous nonimpact noise. Sectioning SM and TTM tendons has been ...

Intr Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OOHCA) is associated with a poor prognosis. Targeted temperature management (TTM) within Intensive Care (ICU) including therapeutic hypothermia (TH) aims to reduce cerebral reperfusion injury and improve neurological outcomes. Within Northern Ireland (NI), Craigavon Area Hospital (CAH) is the only ICU to implement TH using an intravascular cooling device (Co...
