PURPOSE Newer flat panel angiographic detector (FD) systems have the capability to generate parenchymal blood volume (PBV) maps. The ability to generate these maps in the angiographic suite has the potential to markedly expedite the triage and treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke. The present study compares FP-PBV maps with cerebral blood volume (CBV) maps derived using standard dyn...

OBJECTIVES Evaluate the effect of preadmission functional status on severity of pneumonia, length of hospital stay (LOS), and all-cause 30-day and 1-year mortality of adults aged 60 and older and to understand the effect of pneumonia on short-term functional impairment. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING University hospital. PARTICIPANTS One hundred twelve patients with radiograph-p...

We consider the following problem. Let us fix a finite alphabet A = {1,2, · · · ,d}; for any d-uple of letter frequencies ( f1, · · · , fd) ∈ [0,1]d with ∑i=1 fi = 1, how to construct an infinite word u over the alphabet A satisfying the following conditions: u has linear complexity function, u is uniformly balanced, the letter frequencies in u are given by ( f1, · · · , fd). This paper investi...

This paper describes a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) technique for MPEG decoding to reduce the energy consumption while maintaining a quality of service (QoS) constraint. The computational workload for an incoming frame is predicted by using a frame-based history so that the processor voltage and frequency can be scaled to provide the exact amount of computing power needed to dec...

The study examined the interaction between field dependence-independence (FD/I) and learning with modeling software and simulations, and their effect on children’s performance. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups. Group A first learned with a modeling tool and then with simulations. Group B learned first with simulations and then with a modeling tool. A statistically significant...

This paper describes a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) technique for MPEG2 decoding to reduce the energy consumption while maintaining a quality of service (QoS) constraint. The computational workload for an incoming frame is predicted using a frame-based history so that the processor voltage and frequency can be scaled to provide the exact amount of computing power needed to decod...

Dalam penelitian subjek terdiri 4 perempuan kelas XI SMAN 3 Pamekasan yang dipilih berdasarkan tes kognitif siswa. Teknik pengumpulan data adalah Tes Kemampuan Matematika, ...

This study aims to explore the difference between field independent (FI) and dependent (FD) learners in area of EFL critical reading skills. To this end, 60 undergraduate students who had taken passed Critical Reading course involved as subjects. The Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) was administered classify students’ cognitive styles into FI FD groups. Furthermore, measure skills, comprehensi...

This paper proposes an integrated actuator and sensor active fault-tolerant model predictive control (FTMPC) scheme. In this scheme, fault detection (FD) is implemented by using a set-valued observer, fault isolation (FI) is done by set manipulations and faulttolerant control (FTC) is carried out through the design of a robust model predictive control (MPC) law. In this paper, a set-valued obse...

Working memory and attentional inhibition processes (jointly symbolized here as WM/I) have been proposed to explain cognitive style differences in Field Dependence-Independence (FDI). FI relative to FD subjects have been found to use more effectively WM/I to operate on task-relevant information. The purpose of this study was to determine whether cognitive style differences are revealed as diffe...
