BACKGROUND The optimal access route for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains debatable. We compared early safety outcomes at 30 days between the transfemoral (TF) and transapical (TA) approaches in a single, high-volume center in the United States. METHODS Data were collected retrospectively on consecutive patients who underwent TAVR by the TF or TA approach. The primary endp...

Testing Automaton (TA) is a new kind of ω-automaton introduced by Hansen et al. [6] as an alternative to the standard Büchi Automata (BA) for the verification of stutter-invariant LTL properties. Geldenhuys and Hansen [5] shown later how to use TA in the automata-theoretic approach to LTL model checking. They propose a TA-based approach using a verification algorithm that requires two searches ...

Observers' accuracy in using time-to-arrival (Ta) information was examined in 4 experiments. The issues included use of visual vs. acoustic Ta information, use of acoustic Ta information by blind Ss, use of Ta information controlling for velocity, and effects of angle of approach and arrival time on judgment accuracy. Visual information was used more efficiently than audiovisual and auditory in...

This study sought the relationship between short-term in-service development programs for EFL teachers and their teaching practice in high schools. The objectives were to determine the relationship between: 1) the components of the programs for EFL teachers and their practice in class, and 2) EFL teachers’ perception of the programs and their practice in class. Data were collected through quest...

AIM To evaluate the structure of the anatomy program in the first year medical curriculum of University of Split School of Medicine by comparing it with the recommendations by the Educational Affairs Committee of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists (AACA) and the Terminologia Anatomica (TA); we also quantitatively evaluated the organization of teaching material in contemporary topog...

The labor of teaching assistants (TAs), as full-time students and part-time teachers, faces a “time bind.” Although research together compose graduate school for TAs, through this ethnography TAing I argue these domains tend toward arrhythmia. Research engage distinct work rhythms that persistently interrupt one another, rendering individualized, improvisational coordination an organizing princ...
