This study analyzed the effects of self-controlled practice on learning cognitive decision-making skills, focusing primarily on how participants used the time available to them during the practice sessions. 30 college students (10 women) ages 22 to 29 years volunteered to practice the game of tic-tac-toe under one of two conditions, self-controlled practice and a yoked-control condition. Learni...

BACKGROUND Sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) are generally evaluated postoperatively, requiring 5-7 days for assessment. SLNs can also be evaluated intraoperatively by using touch imprint cytology (TIC), thus providing the surgeon immediate feedback and allowing for concurrent completion node dissection (CND) for positive SLNs. The authors hypothesized that TIC, when compared with standard postoperat...

INTRODUCTION Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder with the core phenomenon of tics, whose origin and temporal pattern are unclear. We investigated the When and Where of tic generation and resting state networks (RSNs) via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). METHODS Tic-related activity and the underlying RSNs in adult TS were studied within one fMRI session. Partici...

Herein we provide evidence for the coexpression of two distinct prostacyclin (PGI(2)) receptors (IP) on BEAS-2B human airway epithelial cells. IP receptor heterogeneity initially was suggested by the finding that the rank orders of potency of PGI(2) and three structurally similar analogs [taprostene, iloprost, 15-deoxy-16-(m-tolyl)-17,18,19,20-tetranorisocarbacyclin (15-deoxy-TIC)] for the inhi...

Fuzzy regression discontinuity (RD) design and instrumental variable(s) (IV) regression share similar identification strategies and numerically yield the same results under certain conditions. While the weak identification problem is widely recognized in IV regressions, it has drawn much less attention in fuzzy RD designs, where the standard t-test can also suffer from asymptotic size distortio...

Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) is a clinical syndrome caused by imbalance between clotting, anti-coagulation and fibrinolysis resulting from multiple pathological factors such as hemorrhage and tissue injury in the early stage of trauma, and is closely related to the outcome of trauma patients. It is proved in growing evidence that the endogenous coagulation disturbance in trauma itself is t...

in this paper a novel fuzzy scheme for medical x-ray image classification is presented. in this method, any image is partitioned in to 25 overlapping subimages and then shape-texture features are extracted from shape and directional information extracted from any subimage. in the classification stage, we apply a fuzzy membership to any subimage with respect to euclidean distance between feature...

This paper describes an approach to generating prosody parameters for Mandarin Chinese text-to-speech system. The Chinese fundamental frequency contour is decomposed into two parts, a global intonation contour and a syllable level tone contour. The global intonation contour is converted to pitch target labels in corpus. It is predicted by first predicting pitch target labels using statistical m...

The ACT STATIS method, a multi-table comparison, was applied to 62 Rosa species to be clustered into four sections (Carolinae, Cinnamomeae, Pimpinellifoliae and Synstylae); the data sets were dealing with morphology (15 criteria), anthocyanin pattern (10 compounds), flavonol heteroside pattern (26 compounds) and superoxide dismutase isozyme (SOD) polymorphism (11 bands). This method appeared ve...
