Introduction: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is broadly used to identify white matter (WM) tract abnormalities in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) . To date, several DTI measures have been proposed as markers of demyelination, axonal damage, neuronal loss, increase in membrane permeability, destruction of intra-cellular compartments or glial pathology. However, the va...

A perceptual-identification task was used to assess priming for words and pseudowords that in their upper- and lowercase formats share either few (high-shift items) or many (low-shift items) visual features. Equivalent priming was obtained for high-shift words repeated in the same case and in a different case, and this priming was greatly reduced when there was a study-test modality shift. Acco...

The next ‘killer ap’ is a term the software development community uses to describe its great quest for advancing technology by defining and meeting users’ needs and wants and rapidly diffusing it throughout the market. By making a computer application (program) that meets those needs and making it is so ubiquitously available, it creates a flood of demand. Business managers are also questing af...

The marketing and operations management arms in a firm must work in coordination – marketing efforts to create demand go to waste if supply is suboptimal, and vice versa. However, achieving this coordination has remained a long-standing problem, because in most firms these units are managed in a decentralized manner. A major source of conflict is that marketing compensation is usually heavily w...

It has been reported that the adhesive resin layer of all-in-one adhesives is permeable and allows the formation of a water channel or water tree. The effects of a smear layer on the ultra-structure of bonding interface created with three all-in-one adhesives and a resin composite were evaluated in this study. Dentin surface was ground with of 180-, 600-, or 2000-grit SiC paper to produce diffe...

The British voter is less likely than the American to make a distinction between his current electoral choice and a more general partisan disposition. This article investigates whether this difference might be due to a methodological difference between the British and American Election surveys: the British surveys, unlike the American, have placed the party identification question after the que...
