OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of clinical features and pathological lead points in recurrent intussusception, with a special focus on the risk factors that lead to recurrent intussusception. DESIGN This is a retrospective cohort study. A 5-year retrospective study was performed between January 2012 and July 2016 in the Children's Hospital of Soochow University, S...

Visual perceptual learning models, as constrained by orientation and location specificities, propose that learning either reflects changes in V1 neuronal tuning or reweighting specific V1 inputs in either the visual cortex or higher areas. Here we demonstrate that, with a training-plus-exposure procedure, in which observers are trained at one orientation and either simultaneously or subsequentl...

We present numerical calculations of spherically symmetric radiative transport using a two-moment (P-1) method with a two-dimensional non-linear closure on the Eddington factor. The stationary state solutions contain a critical point. We demonstrate that the two-moment equations with a non-linear closure are well behaved. The solutions are physically acceptable , regular and accurate.

Mobile commerce and location based services (LBS) are some of the fastest growing IT industries in the last five years. Location update of mobile clients is a fundamental capability in mobile commerce and all types of LBS. Higher update frequency leads to higher accuracy, but incurs unacceptably high cost of location management at the location servers. We propose ROADTRACK – a roadnetwork based...

A short treatment with ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic acid to permeabilize bacteria for various antibiotics or treatment with the ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis inhibitor rifampin causes a slow degradation of 50S and 30S ribosomal particles and of the corresponding 23S and 16S ribosomal RNA species (about 25 percent in 1 h). The effects are additive such that the decay is about 50 percent/h if ...
