The aim of the study was to assess the influence of hyperbaric oxygen on regeneration processes which take place in the inner ear (basilar papilla - BP) of chicken after exposure to wide-band noise at the level 120 dB for 48 hours. We found, that hyperbaric oxygen applied once a day after exposure to the noise restricted he extensiveness and decreased the dynamics of hair cells injury. Quantati...

Short dangling bond wires (DB wires), fabricated on H-terminated Si(001) surfaces, show patterns of displacement that depend on their length. We have performed density function calculations, with and without spin-polarisation, designed to investigate the atomic and electronic structure of these wires. As expected, we find that even length wires are accurately modelled by non-spin polarised calc...

objectives: one of the problems in the process of assessment and evaluation, especially of clinical training in rehabilitation disciplines, is the lack of an instrument with objective criteria for evaluation. considering the effects of appropriate evaluation on quality assurance of clinical training, the aim of the present study was to design a valid and reliable tool for general evaluation of ...

abstract background: appropriate quality achievement of a phd program requires frequent assessment and discovering the shortcomings in the program. inputs, which are important elements of the curriculum, are frequently missed in evaluations. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the input indicators of reproductive health phd program in iran based on the context, input, process, and product...

We present a model-based monitoring method for dynamic systems that exhibit both discrete and continuous behaviors. MIMIC [Dvorak and Kuipers, 1991] uses qualitative and semiquantitative models to monitor dynamic systems even with incomplete knowledge. Recent advances have improved the quality of semi-quantitative behavior predictions, used observations to refine static envelopes around monoton...

Introduction. Quantifying the spatial position of sacrum is an important task for many medical specialties, including osteopathy. Knowing exactly how patient′s located correct osteopathic treatment. Digital radiography made it possible to process images entire spine and on a personal computer screen, without participation. The aim research was determine boundaries values indicators from radiogr...
