PURPOSE We determined the accuracy of sonography in the detection of isolated calf deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and the rate of indeterminate ultrasound examinations in patients with physical signs or symptoms suggestive of DVT. METHODS We reviewed the medical literature (MEDLINE) to determine the accuracy of sonography and the frequency of indeterminate studies in detecting isolated calf DVT...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the benefits of indeterminate growth habit in breeding to improve yield potential of Japanese soybean varieties, which exclusively have determinate growth habit. Two populations of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from crosses between determinate Japanese cultivars and indeterminate US cultivars were grown in Akita and Kyoto, and seed weight pe...

Time is important in modeling dynamic aspects of the world, and particularly in the temporal databases field. Many research articles about temporal databases assume that complete and accurate temporal information is available. However, in many real applications temporal information is imperfect and we need to find some way of handling it. The two main commonly used temporal ontological primitiv...

The indeterminate form of Chagas' disease is defined by the absence of clinical, radiological and electrocardiographic manifestations of cardiac or digestive involvement in Trypanosoma cruzi chronic infected persons. When submitted to advanced cardiovascular tests, these patients may present significant abnormalities. However, the indeterminate form concept was reaffirmed as valid, since diagno...

The quantum analogues of classical variable-length codes are indeterminatelength quantum codes, in which codewords may exist in superpositions of different lengths. This paper explores some of their properties. The length observable for such codes is governed by a quantum version of the KraftMcMillan inequality. Indeterminate-length quantum codes also provide an alternate approach to quantum da...

With the increasing use of abdominal cross-sectional imaging, incidental adrenal masses are being detected more often. The important clinical question is whether these lesions are benign adenomas or malignant primary or secondary masses. Benign adrenal masses such as lipid-rich adenomas, myelolipomas, adrenal cysts and adrenal haemorrhage have pathognomonic cross-sectional imaging appearances. ...

Abstract Sentimentalists believe that values are crucially dependent on emotions. Epistemic sentimentalists subscribe to what I call the final-court-of-appeal view: emotional experience is ultimately necessary and can be sufficient for justification of evaluative beliefs. This paper rejects this view defending a moderate version rationalism steers clear excesses both “Stoic” epistemic sentiment...

Serum samples (n: 110) from blood donors and high risk individuals from Cordoba, Argentina with indeterminate HIV-1 and HTLV-I/II Wb profiles were studied for specific antibodies to HTLV-I/II and HIV-1 by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and for the presence or absence of HIV-1 and HTLV-I/II specific bands by Wb. This study was carried out in order to characterize their putative reaction...

In Yaeyaman, a critically endangered Japonic language of the Southern Ryukyus, there is a distinction made between singular and plural wh-questions, with plurality indicated by reduplication of the indeterminate (wh) pronoun. I argue that reduplication of the indeterminate is triggered by a morpheme RED that requires the presence of non-atoms in the set of Hamblin alternatives denoted by its si...
