STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional observational study of three-dimensional (3D) cervical kinematics in 41 chronic neck pain (CNPs) patients and 156 asymptomatic controls. OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate 3D cervical kinematics by analyzing and comparing quantitative and qualitative parameters in healthy subjects and CNPs. Furthermore, subgroups were formed to explore the influence of p...

Service-oriented architecture facilitates the running time of interactions by using business integration on the networks. Currently, web services are considered as the best option to provide Internet services. Due to an increasing number of Web users and the complexity of users’ queries, simple and atomic services are not able to meet the needs of users; and to provide complex services, it requ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CT perfusion (CTP) is a more readily accessible method for evaluation of cerebral perfusion than single-photon emission CT (SPECT). We assessed whether there is any resting or drug-challenged CTP parameter correlating with cerebrovascular reserve (CVR) obtained by SPECT in Moyamoya patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Normalized baseline CTP parameters and their percentage c...

— Various model parameter calculation equations of RF CMOS inductors are compared. The calculation equations are using as variables either Y, Z-parameters or S-parameters. Results are based on on-wafer RF S-parameter measurements of a 3.75 turn spiral inductor fabricated in AMIS 0.7 μm CMOS DM1P n-well technology. Results obtained with calculation equations for a differentially driven inductor ...

In this supplementary, we present experiment protocols and additional qualitative results for experiments on video object segmentation, semantic video segmentation and video color propagation. Table 1 shows the feature scales and other parameters used in different experiments. Figures 1, 2 show some qualitative results on video object segmentation with some failure cases in Fig. 3. Figure 4 sho...

this study was conducted to evaluate some postmortem changes parameters (ph, color, rigor mortise and sensory evaluation) in kutum, captured by gillnet and beach seine. eight pieces of kutum were provided from each net and blood was sampled via 5 cc strile syringes from caudal vein and put into special tubes. then, fishes were placed into isolated boxes between thick layers of ice and transferr...

We develop a covariance-matrix-based uncertainty analysis for vector-network-analyzer scattering-parameter measurements. The covariance matrix captures all of the measurement uncertainties and statistical correlations between them. This allows the uncertainties of vector-network-analyzer scattering-parameter measurements to be propagated into the uncertainties of other quantities derived from s...
