Two experiments were conducted using dual-task finger-tapping procedures to examine cerebral hemisphere laterization for mental versus manual rotation. Actual three-dimensional block-designs based on Shepard and Metzler's (1971) abstract three-dimensional cubes were constructed. Forty-eight right-handed introductory psychology students participated in each study. The first experiment showed gre...

Under the background of digital age, application information technology is more extensive. Similarly, in field accounting work, construction also playing a and important role. Promoting mainly different computer technology, transformation traditional manual processing into processing, which conducive to ensuring efficiency quality processing. Enterprise has very role for itself. This paper anal...

While large POS(part-of-speech) annotated corpora play an important role in natural language processing, the annotated corpus requires very high accuracy and consistency. To build such an accurate and consistent corpus, we often use a manual tagging method. But the manual tagging is very labor intensive and expensive. Furthernaore, it is not easy to get consistent results from the humari expert...

The identification of identical entities accross heterogeneous data sources still involves a large amount of manual processing. This is mainly due to the fact that different sources use different data representations in varying semantic contexts. Up to now entity identification requires either the – often manual – unification of different representations, or alternatively the effort of programm...

Detecting rare events in an electronic medical record (EMR) is similar to searching for a needle in a haystack. Automated methods (natural language processing) and manual methods (chart review) can be used. However, when events are rare and the patient population is large, manual annotation may not be feasible and NLP alone may not be able to reach acceptable levels of performance. We propose a...

OBJECTIVES Tissue processing for years is carried out by the conventional method, which is a time-consuming technique resulting in 1-day delay in diagnosis. However, in this area of modernization and managed care, rapid diagnosis is increasingly desirable to fulfill the needs of clinicians. The objective of the present study was to compare and determine the positive impact on turnaround times o...

The aim of this study was to compare the sensitometric properties of Insight and Ektaspeed Plus radiographic films manually and automatically processed using fresh and depleted chemical solutions. Ten sets of each type of film were obtained (1 set = 5 films), 5 sets being manually processed and 5 sets being automatically processed. A total of 100 films (50 Ektaspeed Plus and 50 Insight film) we...

Objectives: Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus is associated with the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and a key factor in progression to invasive cancer. The Linear Array HPV genotyping test (LA) is a valuable diagnostic tool enabling type-specific detection of DNA from 37 anogenital highand low-risk HPV genotypes. Its value, however, is hampered by the u...

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACS) are employed both as disinfectants for manual processing lines and surfaces in the food industry, and in human medicine area. QACS also cause cell death by protein denaturation . One of the QAC is cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) that appears to rapture the cell membrane. The primary site of action of CTAB has been suggested to be the lipid components...

UNLABELLED Reliable quantitative dopamine transporter imaging is critical for early and accurate diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Image quantitation is made difficult by the variability introduced by manual interventions during the quantitative processing steps. A fully automated objective striatal analysis (OSA) program was applied to dopamine transporter images acquired from PD subjects...
