BACKGROUND Moderate prenatal alcohol exposure can cause impairments even in the absence of gross morphological defects associated with fetal alcohol syndrome. The basal ganglia, which include the dopamine-rich striatum, are sensitive to fetal alcohol-induced injury. In this study, we manipulated the timing of moderate-level alcohol exposure and compared the risk of adverse effects on striatal d...

Data on efficacy and safety of darbepoetin alfa (DA) administered at hemoglobin (Hb) ≤10 g/dL are limited. In this analysis, we examined DA's efficacy and safety in patients with Stage IV cancers and chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) initiated on DA at Hb ≤10 g/dL. Data for patients with Stage IV cancers and CIA and who initiated DA at Hb ≤10 g/dL were extracted from three phase 3 trials identi...

. () Angenommen, es gibt a 6= b ∈ A mit g(f(a)) = g(f(b)). Da f injektiv ist, gilt f(a) 6= f(b). Dann muss aber auch g(f(a)) 6= g(f(b)) gelten, da g injektiv ist. () und () folgen analog. () Würde es f(a) = f(b) für a 6= b ∈ A gelten, so sollte auch g(f(a)) = g(f(b)) gelten, ein Widerspruch zu der Injektivität von g ◦ f . () und () folgen analog. Beispiel: Wir betrachten die Mengen A = ...

Dynamic assessment (DA) as an alternative to psychometric-based testing focuses on the collaborative dialogue between the learners and the mediator to move the learners from their current capabilities. This study represents a web-based qualitative inquiry in online DA which aims at addressing the inadequacy of the diagnostic feedback of the web-based DIALANG test in reflecting learners’ potenti...

Dry eye syndrome is one of the most commonly reported eye health conditions. Dynamic-area high-speed videokeratoscopy (DA-HSV) represents a promising alternative to the most invasive clinical methods for the assessment of the tear film surface quality (TFSQ), particularly as Placido-disk videokeratoscopy is both relatively inexpensive and widely used for corneal topography assessment. Hence, im...

A representation theoretical characterization of an Hadamard subset is given. §l. Introduction. A finite group G of order 2n is called an Hadamard group if G contains an n-subset D and an element e* such that (1) D and De*,are disjoint, (2) D and Da intersect exactly in n/2 elements for any element a of G distinct from e* and the identity element e of G, and (3) Da and {b, be*} intersect exactl...

Abstract This study aimed to examine the impacts of computerized dynamic assessment (C-DA) and rater-mediated on test anxiety, writing performance, oral proficiency Iranian EFL learners. Based Preliminary English Test (PET) results, a sample 64 intermediate participants was chosen from 93 students. Running convenience sampling technique, target test-takers were randomly divided into experimenta...

conclusions a short-term wbv exercise improves isotonic strength of the leg muscle and dynamic balance, while creatine supplementation with and without wbv training increases isometric strength of the leg muscle and mobility in elderly women. background a decline in neuromuscular function can cause a decrease in physical fitness in elderly women. objective the present study aimed at investigati...

Divided attention (DA), the ability to distribute cognitive resources among two or more simultaneous tasks, may be severely compromised after traumatic brain injury (TBI), resulting in problems with numerous activities involved with daily living. So far, no research has investigated whether the use of non-invasive brain stimulation associated with neuropsychological rehabilitation might contrib...
