This study explored the barriers to a meaningful translation of didactic classroom instruction to clinical practice, using the shortened dental arch (SDA) concept as a case study. A combination of survey and individual and group interviews (a mixed-methods approach) was used to collect data related to the SDA. The cohort consisted of senior dental students and their clinical teachers at the Uni...

The following is a introduction to a method, called signed difference analysis (or SDA), that I have been developing, off and on, over the last seven years. SDA is a general technique for evaluating psychological models using only the “non-metric” or ordinal properties of dependent variables. Although still a work in progress, the following is an outline of its main elements which, hopefully, w...

This study evaluated a variation of functional assessment methodology, the structured descriptive assessment (SDA). The SDA is conducted in an individual's natural environment and involves systematically manipulating antecedent variables while leaving consequences free to vary. Results were evaluated by comparing the results of an SDA with results obtained from an analogue functional analysis w...

This chapter details similarity discriminant analysis (SDA), a new framework for similaritybased classification. The two defining characteristics of the SDA classification framework are similarity-based and generative. The classifiers in this framework are similarity-based, because they classify based on the pairwise similarities of data samples, and they are generative, because they build clas...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to validate the performance of a seizure detection algorithm (SDA) developed by our group, on previously unseen, prolonged, unedited EEG recordings from 70 babies from 2 centres. METHODS EEGs of 70 babies (35 seizure, 35 non-seizure) were annotated for seizures by experts as the gold standard. The SDA was tested on the EEGs at a range of sensitivity s...

Cycloheximide and 6-azauridine were employed to study the time course of measles virus protein and nucleic acid syntheses in AV3 cells. Synthesis of ribonucleic acid (RNA) essential for infectivity was first detected at 6 hr and increased concurrently with the formation of essential protein. Maximum levels of virus-specific RNA and protein were present by 18 hr, a time when only 5% of progeny v...

This article explores the role of Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) in development and relief work society, assessing whether it is guided by orthodoxy or orthopraxis wake human rights violations. It traces history SDA’s involvement Zimbabwe’s development, humanitarian processes, checking its stance on prevailing abuses. delineates not apolitical non-social activism due to influence Millerites’ theol...

The investigation by E. Dietzenbacher et al. (2004) has shown the decline of the U.S. labor share for a term of 1982-1997 in spite of the rise of labor productivity. This controversial observation must be inquired to be valid for the other economy or not, and it should be explained for those dynamic causes of change. This research adopted the extended multiplicative structural decomposition ana...

High-performance liquid chromatographic procedures with ultraviolet detection were developed for the quantitative determination of sulfadiazine (SDA) and trimethoprim (TMP) in swine tissues (kidney, liver, muscle, fat and fat + skin). In addition, high-performance liquid chromatography with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry was used for the confirmation of the identity ...

I our paper entitled “Optimized Fragmentation Regime for Diazirine Photo-Cross-Linked Peptides”, there are two separate textual errors, one in Figure 6B (and repeated in the TOC graphic) and one in the Data Analysis section. Results: Decision tree representation (Figure 6B and TOC graphic) In Figure 6B and again in the TOC graphic, a visual decision tree was created from the m/z binning in Figu...
