BACKGROUND The aim of this retrospective study was to document the clinical findings and radiological features of idiopathic orbital inflammation syndrome with retro-orbital involvement. METHODS We searched for ophthalmological patients who received orbital imaging at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital between October 2003 and April 2010. Seventy-three patients were diagnosed with idiopath...

This paper concentrates on the evaluation of reliability measures of a computer system by introducing the concept of priority of hardware repair over software up-gradation. The system operates with one more hardware in cold standby. The failure times of hardware and software are independent random variables which follow negative exponential distribution. The repair facility (called server) atte...

Pedagogically, CAPT systems can be improved by giving effective feedback based on the severity of pronunciation errors. We obtained perceptual gradation of L2 English mispronunciations through crowdsourcing, and conducted quality control utilizing the WorkerRank algorithm to refine the collected results and reach a reliable consensus on the ratings of word mispronunciations. This paper presents...

During the retention interval of a working memory task, presenting a retro-cue directs attention to 1 of the items in working memory. Testing the cued item leads to faster and more accurate responses. We contrasted 5 explanations of this benefit: (a) removal of noncued items, (b) strengthening of the cued item, (c) protection from probe interference, (d) protection from degradation, and (e) pri...
