abstract background: the radiographic image accuracy depends on the x-ray film information visibility. good visibility is found by good contrast. radiation exposure parameters (kvp, mas) and film processing conditions have impact on contrast. in dentistry radiography machines, exposure time and processing procedure are set by radiographer. no optimized exposure time and processing conditions ma...

We present here the first neuroimaging data for perception of Cued Speech (CS) by deaf adults who are native users of CS. CS is a visual mode of communicating a spoken language through a set of manual cues which accompany lipreading and disambiguate it. With CS, sublexical units of the oral language are conveyed clearly and completely through the visual modality without requiring hearing. The c...

Meat processing is a labor-intensive industry dealing with manual handling of heavy loads of meat at high frequency. Meat processing workers are under pressure to maintain high rates of work, performing arduous repetitive motions while keeping awkward postures. Ergonomic risk assessments reveal that manual material handling and repetitive tasks expose meat-processing workers to high physical ri...

This paper presents a system for database linkage based on the probabilistic record linkage technique, developed in the C++ language with the Borland C++ Builder version 3.0 programming environment. The system was tested in the linkage of data sources of different sizes, evaluated both in terms of processing time and sensitivity for identifying true record pairs. Significantly less time was spe...

Studies of a variety of higher cognitive functions consistently activate a region of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), situated posterior to the genu and superior to the corpus callosum. However, it is not clear whether the same ACC region is activated for all response modalities (e.g. vocal and manual) and/or all processing domains (e.g. verbal and spatial). To explore this question, we used ra...

purpose: to present a case of traumatic bilateral eyelid lymphedema. case report: an 18-year old male presented with severe bilateral eye lid lymphedema with a history of severe craniofacial trauma three month ago and neurosurgical procedure. he had lost vision in his left eye because of sever globe injury. his lymphedema was attributed to wide surgical incision scar. the patient underwent manu...
