objective: aggression is a disruptive behavior that limits children’s ability for a better adjustment. as commonly reported, sleep problems is associated with the presentation of aggression in adhd children. in this study, we aimed to investigate the association between sleep problems and aggressive behavior in children with adhd.  methods: the study method is correlational and cross-sectional....

In order to produce coherent multimodal output a presentation planner in a multimodal dialogue system must have a notion of the types of the multimodalities, which are currently present in the system. More specifically the planner needs information about the multimodal properties and rendering capabilities of the multimodalities. Therefore it is necessary to define an output multimodality model...

Angiosarcoma of the seminal vesicle is an extremely rare malignancy, with few published case reports in the literature. We present a case of primary angiosarcoma of the seminal vesicle in a 45-year-old male who was treated with multimodality therapy, consisting of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiation followed by surgical resection and intraoperative radiation therapy. He has been free of...

Multimodality image registration and fusion are essential steps in building 3-D models from remote sensing data. In this paper, we present a neural network technique for the registration and fusion of multimodality remote sensing data for the reconstruction of 3-D models of terrain regions. A FeedForward neural network is used to fuse the intensity data sets with the spatial data set after lear...

OBJECTIVE To test the effects of technique and attitude in pulling Christmas crackers. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS A binomial trial conducted at a Christmas-in-July dinner party involving five anonymous dinner guests, including two of the authors. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Number of wins achieved by different strategies, with a win defined as securing the larger portion of the cracker. RE...

Angiogenesis is an important biological process that is also related to various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Currently, the need for angiogenesis imaging is increasing due to the use of anti-angiogenic therapy to treat tumors, and of angiogenesis-inducing therapy to treat vascular diseases. Several techniques can be used to visualize angiogenesis related...

Noninvasive “multimodal” in vivo imaging is not just becoming standard practice in the clinic, but is rapidly changing the evolving field of experimental imaging of genetic expression (“molecular imaging”). The development of multimodality methodology based on nuclear medicine (NM), positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and optical imaging is the single b...

Future pervasive environments are expected to immerse users in a consistent world of probes, sensors and actuators. Multimodal interfaces combined with social computing interactions and high-performance networking can foster a new generation of pervasive environments. However, much work is still needed to harness the full potential of multimodal interaction. In this paper we discuss some short-...
