Internalizing disorders co-occur with alcohol use disorder (AUD) at a rate that exceeds chance and compromise conventional AUD treatment. The "vicious cycle" model of comorbidity specifies drinking to cope (DTC) as a link between these disorders that, when not directly addressed, undermines the effectiveness of conventional treatments. Interventions based on this model have proven successful bu...

The color of Concord grape juice produced by concentration before cold-stabilization and detartration (direct-to-concentrate, DTC) was compared to juice produced via cold-stabilization prior to concentration (standard concentrate, SC) and evaluated by several metrics. Using the Boulton copigmentation assay, the majority of the absorbance at 520 nm in bottled SC juice (72%) was due to monomeric ...

This study deals with the direct torque control (DTC) of the induction motor. This type of control allows decoupling control between the flux and the torque without the need for a transformation of coordinates. However, the DTC scheme has a high ripples for both electromagnetic torque and stator flux and a distortion of the stator current. To solve these problems, we have developed a new approa...

This paper studies the techniques of performance enhancement for decision tree classifiers (DTC) that are based on data structure analysis. To improve the performance of DTC, two methods are used – class decomposition that uses the structure of class density and taxonomy based DTC design that uses interactions between attribute values. The paper shows experimental exploration of the methods, th...

this paper gives a detailed analysis of direct torque control (dtc) strategy in a five-level drive and proposes a 24-sector switching table. the overvoltage problem due to high dv/dt is reduced compared to the 12-sector dtc. using all vectors leads to better flexibility and reduces speed oscillations. simulation and experimental results for a 3kva prototype confirm the proposed solutions. a tms...

OBJECTIVE Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common among infants and toddlers. Children can be treated effectively with short courses (2-4 days) of intravenous (IV) therapy followed by oral therapy. If IV therapy is chosen, use of once-daily dosing may allow outpatient management instead of hospital admission. However, no description of ambulatory treatment with IV antibiotics of UTI among fe...

BACKGROUND The available studies concerning the influence of age on the phenotypical expression of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) have hitherto compared DTC presentation either between pre-pubertal and pubertal children or between pediatric patients and aged adults; aim of this study was to ascertain for the first time whether presentation of DTC may significantly vary according to age,...

BACKGROUND Although serum thyroglobulin (Tg) is an excellent marker for detecting recurrent or persistent differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), it is unreliable in patients who have positive anti-Tg antibodies. Furthermore, a growing number of patients with DTC have elevated Tg levels but no detectable disease on radioiodine scanning or other imaging studies. The objective of this study was to d...

INTRODUCTION Genetic testing remains low among racial/ethnic minority populations in the United States. We aimed to determine the prevalence and correlates of awareness of direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests and the prevalence of genetic test use in a population-based sample of adults in Puerto Rico. METHODS We analyzed data from adults aged 18 years or older who completed information on g...
