Brainstem stroke syndromes are primarily determined by clinical criteria. There are few diagnostic procedures which are of benefit for the evaluation of brainstem ischemic events. Brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) are a new electrophysiologic technique for assessing brainstem function. To evaluate the use of BAERs in patients with brainstem ischemic events, 35 individuals with recent ...

Let $A_1$, $A_2$ be unital Banach algebras and $X$ be an $A_1$-$A_2$- module. Applying the concept of module maps, (inner) modulegeneralized derivations and  generalized first cohomology groups, wepresent several results concerning the relations between modulegeneralized derivations from $A_i$ into the dual space $A^*_i$ (for$i=1,2$) and such derivations  from  the triangular Banach algebraof t...

The objective of this study was to determine direct measurements of auditory pathways by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during the growth period of healthy Beagles, and to discover how canine brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) latencies vary in relation to these MRI measurements. Eighty healthy Beagles were tested at eight, 16 and 52 weeks of age (stages 1, 2, 3, respectively) with BAE...

In this paper, we define quasi-cyclic(QC) generalized Hadamard matrices and balanced QC generalized Hadamard matrices. Then we propose a new construction method for QC generalized Hadamard matrices. The proposed matrices are constructed from the balanced optimal low correlation zone(LCZ) sequence set which has correlation value −1 within low correlation zone.

A new class of arbitrary-order homogeneous quasi-continuous sliding-mode controllers is proposed, containing numerous functional parameters. All controllers also have robust outputfeedback versions. A numerical procedure is for the first time established for setting the controller parameters. A finite-time stable 5-sliding mode is for the first time demonstrated.

This article discusses skew generalized quasi-cyclic codes over any finite field F with Galois automorphism θ. This is a generalization of quasi-cyclic codes and skew polynomial codes. These codes have an added advantage over quasi-cyclic codes since their lengths do not have to be multiples of the index. After a brief description of the skew polynomial ring F[x; θ], we show that a skew general...

Brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) were recorded in 40 patients with clinically definite brainstem infarction, and results were compared to localizations from physical signs and CT scans. The BAER was abnormal in 92% of patients with evidence on physical examination of dysfunction of lateral structures in the pons or midbrain. Normal BAERs were seen with medially-situated or medullary ...

QL Estimation for Independent Data. For i = 1, . . . ,K, let Yi denote the response variable for the ith individual, and xi = (xi1, . . . , xiv , . . . , xip) ′ be the associated p−dimensional covariate vector. Also, let β be the p−dimensional vector of regression effects of xi on yi. Further suppose that the responses are collected from K independent individuals. It is understandable that if t...

A generalization of Arakawa and Schubert’s convective quasi-equilibrium principle is presented for a closure formulation of mass-flux convection parameterization. The original principle is based on the budget of the cloud work function. This principle is generalized by considering the budget for a vertical integral of an arbitrary convection-related quantity. The closure formulation includes Ar...

Quasi-interpolation is very useful in the study of the approximation theory and its applications, since the method can yield solutions directly and does not require solving any linear system of equations. However, quasi-interpolation is usually discussed only for gridded data in the literature. In this paper we shall introduce a generalized Strang-Fix condition, which is related to non-stationa...
