fMRI was used to examine the brain activity of 18 young adults while they read or heard matched sentences that were either well-formed or contained anomalies of syntactic form or pragmatic content. We examined specific regions of interest (ROI) based on activity patterns found in earlier research. We sought: a) brain regions that respond robustly to both speech and print; b) regions that are se...

Objectives: We analyzed and summarized the ultrasonic and anatomical features of fetal Ebstein anomaly to improve the ultrasonographic diagnostic rate. Methods: We analyzed the fetal echocardiographs and either the postnatal echocardiographs or anatomical specimens of 13 cases of fetal Ebstein anomaly. The cases were divided into typical and rare types according to the features of the Ebstein a...

In this paper, we suggest a multi-dimensional approach towards intrusion detection. Network and system usage parameters like source and destination IP addresses; source and destination ports; incoming and outgoing network traffic data rate and number of CPU cycles per request are divided into multiple dimensions. Rather than analyzing raw bytes of data corresponding to the values of the network...

ebstein's anomaly is defined as the significant apical displacement of the tricuspid valve causing tricuspid regurgitation. although a variety of concomitant lesions have been previously described, we herein introduce an unusual presentation.  our patient was an 86-year-old man with a primary presentation of typical chest pain in the setting of recently diagnosed coronary artery disease with co...

dental anomalies are rare findings that may affect development of occlusion and early intervention may be required. here, a case of multiple anomalies in primary and perma nent dentitions is reported. the patient referred to the dental center with the chief complaint of multiple tooth decay. in the oral examination, the rare case of triplica tion between the right geminated man-dibular a and ri...

rainfall and evapotranspiration are the two most popular climatic factors which have crucial function on agricultural production. rainfall can be directly measured easily in an area but evapotranspiration is estimated from weather data. in this study reference evapotranspiration eto was estimated using penman–monteith equation. monthly rainfall and evapotarnspiration were plotted and compared i...

background: müllerian anomalies are associated with infertility. hysteroscopy as the gold standard for evaluating müllerian anomalies is an invasive, expensive and risky procedure which requires enough experience. transvaginal sonography (tvs) and hysterosalpingography (hsg) are less invasive procedures, but there is little known about the accuracy of these tests. the aim of this study was to e...

generally, gravity anomaly is the difference between the observed acceleration of earth's gravity and a normal value. topography (all masses above geoid) plays a main role in definition of the gravity anomaly. based on modeling of the effect of topography, there are different models of gravity anomaly such as free-air and bouguer anomaly. the main goal of the bouguer anomaly is removing of...

congenital anomalies of the great thoracic vessels have been reported in 20% of dogs and cats. in some cases, the vascular ring anomalies remain unrecognized throughout the lifetime of an animal. this report describes a case with an unusual vascular ring anomaly (vra) that was detected during dissection on a cadaver of an approximately two-year-old male native mixed breed dog. no history of the...

ebstein anomaly is characterized by apical displacement of the septal and posterior tricuspid valve leaflets, leading to atrialization of the right ventricle and could be diagnosed in a routine transthoracic echocardiography exam. we reported a young man with right sided heart failure symptoms who was found to have biventricular failure with suspected apical displacement of septal leaflet of tr...
