OBJECTIVE To examine how autonomy and pubertal status explain age decreases in maternal involvement in type 1 diabetes management across adolescence, how they relate to metabolic control, and the reasons that guide declines in maternal involvement. METHODS One hundred twenty-seven children ages 10-15 years with type 1 diabetes and their mothers participated. Data included maternal and child r...

Utterances of two adults males were analyzed and synthesized by a fast Fourier Transforms method. Each of the two voices was synthesized in each of the twenty-seven combinations of three levels each of rate, mean FO, and variance of FO (a total of fifty-four "voices" generated from two). The effects of the rate, mean FO, and variance of FO manipulations, the interactive effects of rate and vari...

In January of 1997, Health Level Seven (HL7) began developing Version 3.0 of its standard. The Version 3 effort represents a transformation of the way that HL7 and its Technical Committees will develop future HL7 information interchange standards. This transformation involves applying object-oriented modelling to the development and specification of information interchange standards. This paper...

Vesicles composed of a phosphatidylethanolamine derivative with a cyclopropyl-containing interfacial region are twenty-seven times less permeable than vesicles composed of a closely related analogue.

In this paper we address the problem of projective reconstruction of structure and motion given only image data. In particular we investigate three novel minimal combinations of points and lines over three views, and give complete solutions and reconstructionmethods for two of these cases: “four points and three lines in three views”, and “two points and six lines in three views”. We show that ...

were improved but twenty-seven (30%/) were no better. Patients with a well-functioning gallbladder, demonstrated radiologically, were relieved significantly more often than those with a poor or non-functioning gallbladder. Fatty food precipitated the symptoms in the majority of patients. These figures suggest that there is neither a direct causal relationship between gallstones and flatulent dy...

Saliency refers to the character of an object standing out, hence easily capturing someone’s attention. This concept, when applied to music, can be interpreted in a way that a highly salient instrument sound will more likely draw a listener’s attention than other concurrent instruments. That is, we might expect in turn that a highly salient instrument timbre will be more easily identified from ...

An experimental apparatus to study the breaking process of axisymmetric liquid bridges has been developed, and the breaking sequences of a large number of liquid bridge configurations at minimum-volume stability limit have been analyzed. Experimental results show that very close to the breaking moment the neck radius of the liquid bridge varies as t, where t is the time to breakage, irrespectiv...

India is a country with huge population of over hundred and twenty seven core, who speaks different languages. Only 5% of Indian population can effectively communicate in English and rest 95% are comfortable with their regional languages. India is certainly one of the multilingual nations in the world

BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were, first, to confirm the presence of multiple domains within the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 20 (SNOT-20) using a medically treated population, and, second, to reanalyze data from this population to reveal incremental information. A prospective, randomized controlled trial was performed. METHODS One hundred twenty-seven adults with chronic rhinitis or rh...
