OBJECTIVE As the literature for the treatment of functional (psychogenic) movement disorders (FMD) is sparse, we assessed clinical outcomes in patients with FMD who underwent treatment with psychodynamic psychotherapy (PDP). METHODS A retrospective analysis of the data of patients with FMD who were referred for PDP from 2008-2014 at Emory University Medical Center was performed. RESULTS Thi...

Plagiarism is described as the reuse of someone else’s previous ideas, work or even words without sufficient attribution to the source. This paper presents a method to detect external plagiarism using the integration of semantic relations between words and their syntactic composition. The problem with the available methods is that they fail to capture the meaning in comparison between a source ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence, incidence, risk factors, and concomitants of Parkinson disease (PD)-associated psychosis (PDP) in a population-based prevalent cohort. DESIGN Prospective longitudinal cohort study. SETTING Community-based study in southwestern Norway. PARTICIPANTS Two hundred thirty community-based PD patients were followed up prospectively for 12 years. Reassessme...

Photoluminescence (PL) phosphor can be divided into different types according to the different excitation wavelengths, and they have different applications. The region from 100 to 200 nm is the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) region and the phosphors excited by VUV light are usually used for plasma display panels (PDPs) and Hg-free lamps.1 Nowadays, the PDP and liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) are the t...

Cloud storage is now an important development trend in information technology. However, information security has become an important problem to impede it for commercial application, such as data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. In this paper, we propose designated verifier provable data possession (DV-PDP). In public clouds, DV-PDP is a matter of crucial importance when the client ...

the proline-rich β-casein was digested in vitro with trypsin, and the oligopeptides producedwere then isolated by rp-hplc and subsequently identified by amino acid analysis and ion massspectrometry. the peptide fractions from the complete digestion were then treated with purified x-prolyldipeptidyl peptidase (x-pdp) extracted from lactobacillus casei ssp. casei llg. two bitter peptides (f53-97a...

This article deals with a special type of ePortfolio, the Learning and Personal Development Planning Portfolio (PDP). It explores the technical challenges deriving from pedagogical requirements of PDP processes and discusses how semantic web technologies can contribute to an integrated “ePortfolio-PDP System”.

PURPOSE Unique features of adolescent cancer patients include cancer types, developmental stages, and psychosocial issues. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between diagnostic delay and survival to improve adolescent cancer care. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 592 patients aged 0-18 years with eight common cancers were grouped according to age (adolescents, ≥10 years; children, <...

A novel driver with discharge current compensation is proposed to drive an ac plasma display panel (PDP). This proposed circuit uses resonance between the inductor and the ac PDP to avoid abrupt charging/discharging. The four switches of the full bridge are all operated with zero-voltage-switching turn-on. In addition, an 8-in ac PDP equipped with the proposed driving circuit, operating at 100 ...

In pickup and delivery problems (PDPs), vehicles pickup and deliver a set of items under various constraints. We address the PDP with Transfers (PDP-T), in which vehicles plan to transfer items between one another to form more efficient schedules. We introduce the Very Large Neighborhood Search with Transfers (VLNS-T) algorithm to form schedules for the PDP-T. Our approach allows multiple trans...
