Sinus node recovery time (SNRT) is frequently used to assess sinus node function in patients with suspected sick sinus syndrome (SSS). Although SNRT is assumed to reflect sinus node automaticity, this assumption remains unproven. The purpose of this study was (1) to test the hypothesis that SNRT in patients with and without SSS reflects sinus node automaticity, and (2) to assess the role of sin...

Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is also known as dural arteriovenous malformation. Two forms of DAVF have been introduced, however, here we present an exceptional case of DAVF with unique origin and drainage. In this study, we present a rare case of multiple DAVFs in a 50 year old man with right parietal intraparenchymal hemorrhage. MRI showed two round right parieto-occipital masses with fl...

Throughout the years, Sosa has taken different views on safety condition knowledge. In his early work, he endorsed condition, but later retracted this view when first developing much discussed virtue epistemology. Recently, further developed theory with notion of competence and an accompanying, modified that maintains is entailed by theory: SSS-safety condition. Sosa's holds both knowledge acti...

Exploring the relationship between evaporation (E)-minus-precipitation (P) and sea surface salinity (SSS) is vital for understanding global hydrological cycle changes investigating budget. This study quantifies uncertainty in E−P SSS based on satellite data over 50°S–50°N ocean from 2012 to 2017 140 sets of combinations E, P SSS. We find that (10%) variability freshwater flux (FWF) 2012–2017 sm...

INTRODUCTION: SSS has been used to map the sea bottom and search for submerged objects since the 1960's (Fleming, 1976). Recent experiments by CERC and the Buffalo District have shown SSS to be useful for inspecting both sloping coastal structures (i.e., rubble-mound jetties and breakwaters) and vertical-wall structures (i.e., concrete caissons and timber cribs). SSS is an adaptation of high-fr...

A new version of the SSS* algorithm for searching game trees is presented. This algorithm is built around two recursive procedures. It nds the minimax value of a game tree by rst establishing an upper bound to this value and then successively trying in a top down fashion to tighten this bound until the minimax value has been obtained. This approach has several advantages, most notably that the ...

Malleable signature schemes (MSS) enable a third party to alter signed data in a controlled way, maintaining a valid signature after an authorized change. Most well studied cryptographic constructions are (1) redactable signatures (RSS), and (2) sanitizable signatures (SSS). RSSs allow the removal of blocks from a signed document, while SSSs allow changing blocks to arbitrary strings. We rigoro...

Psychometric properties of Zuckerman's Sensation-Seeking Scale (SSS; Form V) were examined in a sample of 336 Canadians (181 females and 155 males). The SSS total score was moderately reliable (a = .75), but the subscales were only marginally so (between .48 and .69) and only moderately intercorrelated. For the females, the subscales were even less reliable (between .44 and .67) and less interc...
