Abstract The theory of visual attention, “TVA”, is an influential and formal attentional selection. It widely applied in clinical assessment attention fundamental research. However, most TVA-based research based on accuracy data from letter report experiments performed controlled laboratory environments. While such basic approaches to questions regarding selection are undoubtedly useful, recent...

Using Chilean administrative datasets for the period 2011-2017, we study which of most used tools to evaluate teacher quality, namely teachers' evaluation tests (TET) and teacher's value added (TVA), predicts more accurately not only short run (as literature focus on) but also middle students' outcomes. For this follow same cohorts students teachers. Our results suggest that correlation between...

This paper deals with the control of vibrations an automatic cutting machine a cartesian kinematic chain. A particular application method structural modifications is considered, since small number frequency response function available. The Sherman-Morrison formula used to predict effect tuned vibration absorber (TVA) on generated by tool; advantages and limits this are discussed. In order impro...

We report here on the generation of a mouse monoclonal antibody directed against Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) subgroup A Env that will be useful in functional and structural analysis of RSV Env, as well as in approaches employing the RCAS/Tva system for gene targeting. BALB/c mice were primed and given boosters twice with EnvA-expressing NIH 3T3 cells. Resulting hybridomas were tested by enzyme-lin...

Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal malignancies and unfortunately there are limited functional genomics platforms to assess the molecular pathways contributing to sarcomagenesis. Thus, novel model systems are needed to validate which genes should be targeted for therapeutic intervention. We hypothesized that delivery of oncogenes into mouse skeletal muscle using a retroviral (RCA...

This article presents a theory that integrates space-based and object-based approaches to visual attention. The theory puts together M.P. van Oeffelen and P.G. Vos's (1982, 1983) COntour DEtector (CODE) theory of perceptual grouping by proximity with C. Bundesen's (1990) theory of visual attention (TVA). CODE provides input to TVA, accounting for spatially based between-object selection, and TV...

PURPOSE To recapitulate the generation of cancer stem cells in the context of an intact animal using a retroviral vector capable of in vivo delivery of oncogenes to primitive endothelial and hematopoietic stem cells. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Targeting of these progenitors was achieved using transgenic mice in which the avian TVA retroviral receptor was placed under the control of the stem cell leu...

BACKGROUND Both vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty have been described for treatment of vertebral compression fractures. Vertebroplasty is known for its high leakage rate compared with balloon kyphoplasty. In vitro studies have shown that high-viscosity cements significantly decrease the incidence of cement leakage and increase the predictability of cement fill in cancellous bonelike substr...

The Neural Theory of Visual Attention of Bundesen et al. (2005) was proposed as a neural interpretation of Bundesen's (1990) theory of visual attention (TVA). In NTVA, visual attention operates via two mechanisms: by dynamic remapping of receptive fields of cortical cells such that more cells are devoted to behaviorally important objects than to less important ones (filtering) and by multiplica...
