BACKGROUND MRI is an important clinical tool for diagnosing dementia-like diseases such as Frontemporal Dementia (FTD). However there is a need to develop more accurate and standardized MRI analysis methods. OBJECTIVE To compare FTD with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) with three automatic MRI analysis methods - Hippocampal Volumetry (HV), Tensor-based Morphometry...

introduction: to assess efficiency as a relative concept, the difference between real and expected values must be determined by comparing the productivity of economic units of industry and the efficiency in potential production conditions. as economic units, hospitals need to utilize efficiency analysis in order to make optimal use of their available resources. therefore, the present study comp...

Objetivo: Revisar a literatura com o objetivo de identificar as principais complicações do câncer colorretal (CCR). Revisão Bibliográfica: O CCR é um tumor maligno responsável por ser terceira causa morte associada ao no Brasil. pode classificado como familiar ou esporádico, sendo último, mais predominante. Devido diagnóstico tardio, déficit rastreio adequado, há aumento incidência complicações...

in this research, efficiency of iranian forest and rangeland decision making unit was assessed using non-parametric method. inputs and outputs determined by field research and with applying a delphi method the final input and output variables selected. forty five wood-producing units (forestry plans) in three northern iranian province were studied using data envelopment analysis. the efficiency...

We introduce a new regression method – called Correlated Component Regression (CCR) – which provides reliable predictions even with near multicollinear data. Near multicollinearity occurs when a large number of correlated predictors and relatively small sample size exists as well as situations involving a relatively small number of correlated predictors. Different variants of CCR are tailored t...

Chest compression depth (CCD) and rate (CCR) are important factors of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). To assist performing CPR by citizen, a number of CPR related applications are being developed on a smartphone application market. Most of apps provide procedure of CPR. In case of using accelerometer, it is possible to estimate CCD and CCR. In this study, we proposed an app which provides ...

Inhibition of specific lignin biosynthetic steps by antisense strategy has previously been shown to alter lignin content and/or structure. In this work, homozygous tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) lines transformed with cinnamoyl-coenzyme A reductase (CCR) or caffeic acid/5-hydroxy ferulic acid-O-methyltransferase I (COMT I) antisense sequences have been crossed and enzyme activities, lignin synthes...

Asking eyewitnesses to provide an initial account using free recall strategies is a crucial procedure used in most investigative interviews (e.g. Cognitive Interview or PEACE model) allowing accurate and detailed information about the crime. Recent studies suggest clustering retrieval like Category Clustering Recall (CCR) can also be effective for obtaining from eyewitnesses, perhaps more than ...
