Effects of closed head injury (CHI) severity, focal brain lesions, and age at injury on word fluency (WF) were studied longitudinally in 122 children (78 severe, 44 mild); 112 CHI patients (68 severe, 44 mild CHI) and 104 uninjured normal controls participated in a cross-sectional study. WF was measured by asking the child to generate as many words as possible beginning with a designated letter...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Non-cigarette tobacco marketing is less regulated and may promote cigarette smoking among adolescents. We quantified receptivity to advertising for multiple tobacco products and hypothesized associations with susceptibility to cigarette smoking. METHODS Wave 1 of the nationally representative PATH (Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health) study interviewed 10 751...

Multi-category vessel detection and classification based on satellite imagery attract a lot of attention due to their significant applications in the military civilian domains. In this study, we generated new Artificial-SAR-Vessel dataset combination FUSAR-Ship SimpleCopyPaste method. We further proposed novel multi-category called CRAS-YOLO which consisted convolutional block module (CBAM), re...

objectives: one of the factors predicting language impairments is an early limited lexicon in children. an early limited lexicon can also lead to limited performances in other language areas. this study was aimed to examine receptive and expressive vocabulary in 8-16 month-old children with cleft lip and palate as a predictor of development in other language areas. materials: the macarthur-bate...

We propose a novel deep learning model named ACLNet, for cloud segmentation from ground images. ACLNet uses both neural network and machine (ML) algorithm to extract complementary features. Specifically, it EfficientNet-B0 as the backbone, "`a trous spatial pyramid pooling" (ASPP) learn at multiple receptive fields, "global attention module" (GAM) finegrained details image. also k-means cluster...

Background Earlier it was believed that uterine fluid (UF) or secretions are not relevant after the embryo implantation in humans. However, recent reports suggest that uterine secretions continue to play important role till the first trimester of human pregnancy. Evidences also suggest that uf mirrors endometrial functions or dysfunctions. Considering the relevance of uf in endometrial function...

Reduced verbal working memory capacity has been proposed as a possible account of language impairments in specific language impairment (SLI). Studies have shown, however, that differences in strength of linguistic representations in the form of word frequency affect list recall and performance on verbal working memory tasks. This suggests that verbal memory capacity and long-term linguistic kno...
