Nine of the physiological leaf spot mutants were described and investigated linkage relation with marker genes. All of them were governed by single recessive genes respectively and the causal genes were designated as a series of spl (spotted leaves) as spl,, spl,......sf&. With eight of them except for sPZ~, the linkage groups were determined as follows: sj+-a linkage group corresponding to A t...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess the value of the Health Level 7/U.S. Food and Drug Administration Structured Product Labeling (SPL) drug knowledge representation standard and its associated terminology sources for drug-intolerance (allergy) decision support in computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems. DESIGN The Regenstrief Institute CPOE drug-intolerance issue detection system...

A software product line (SPL) is a family of software products that share a set of common features. Exhaustively testing every product of an SPL is a difficult task due to the combinatorial explosion of the number of products. Several sampling approaches have been proposed to select a set of products that can be used to test SPL. However, these approaches do not scale very well, especially for ...

The pathophysiology of idiopathic dystonic torticollis is unclear and there is no simple test that confirms the diagnosis and excludes a psychogenic or voluntary torticollis in individual patients. We recorded EMG activity in the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and splenius capitis (SPL) muscles of eight patients with rotational torticollis and eight age-matched controls, and analysed the signals in ...

Executive control is the ability to flexibly control behavior and is frequently studied with saccadic eye movements. Contrary to frontal oculomotor areas, the role of the superior parietal lobe (SPL) in the executive control of saccades remains unknown. To explore the role of SPL networks in saccade control, we performed a saccadic search-step task while acquiring functional magnetic resonance ...

In recent years, the Software Product Line (SPL) is becoming a mainstream strategy in software development. The high reusability and the great derivability by modelling common and variable artefacts are undoubtedly its significant strengths. Taking advantage of these strengths requires a design of efficient product line. Often, most existing SPL design approaches build on feature modelling by a...

This paper presents a novel approach to the design verification of Software Product Lines(SPL). The proposed approach assumes that the requirements and designs are modeled as finite state machines with variability information. The variability information at the requirement and design levels are expressed differently and at different levels of abstraction. Also the proposed approach supports ver...

Introduction The acoustic noise during image acquisition is a well-known problem in MRI, which is especially pronounced during fast imaging with high gradient slew rates and at high field strengths. Patients can be exposed to sound pressure levels (SPL) as high as 130 dB [1] and more on clinical 3 Tesla MR systems. As the SPL increases linearly with gradient amplitude [2] the SPL of a 7T System...

Self-paced learning (SPL) mimics the cognitive mechanism of humans and animals that gradually learns from easy to hard samples. One key issue in SPL is to obtain better weighting strategy that is determined by the minimizer functions. Existing methods usually pursue this by artificially designing the explicit form of regularizers. In this paper, we focus on the minimizer functions, and study a ...

BACKGROUND Bi-directional communication between the follicle and oocyte is necessary to regulate follicle and oocyte development. Currently, it is not practical to monitor the serial growth of individual follicles during assisted reproduction. The ovarian stimulation phase length (SPL) is an indirect measure of mean follicular growth rate. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis ...
