BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is no in-depth information available on the changes in hemostatic systems in patients in the acute phase of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study was conducted to assess the relationships between the changes in hemostatic systems and clinical parameters in patients in acute-phase ICH. METHODS The records of 358 patients admitted within 6 hours of ...

An important aspect of a robot’s social behavior is to convey the right amount of trustworthiness. Task performance has shown to be an important source for trustworthiness judgments. Here, we argue that factors such as a robot’s behavioral style, can play an important role as well. Our approach to studying the e↵ects of a robot’s performance and behavioral style on human trust involves experime...

User experience is a critical component in the development of virtual environment systems and applications. To create an effective and efficient user experience for virtual environment systems, it is imperative to conduct empirical studies to explore factors that contribute to a heightened sense of presence, or immersion, for users, who increasingly demand an experience in a virtual environment...

Most of the methods used for estimating the influenza vaccine effectiveness (IVE) target the individuals who have an influenza-like illness (ILI) rather than virologically-proven influenza and access the healthcare system. The objective of this study was to estimate the 2012-2013 IVE in general French population, using a cohort of volunteers registered on GrippeNet.fr, an online surveillance sy...

-A model was developed that predicts the probability of survival for individual shortleaf pine (Pinus echinatu Mill.) trees growing in even-aged natural stands. Data for model development were obtained from the first two measurements of permanently established plots located in natural ly occurring short leaf pine forests on the Ouachita and Ozark National Forests in western Arkansas and eastern...

Recent studies have established immersive virtual environments (IVEs) as promising tools for studying human thermal states and human–building interactions. One advantage of using is that experiments or data collection can be conducted at any time the year. However, previous confirmed potential impact outdoor temperature variations, such seasonal variations on sensation. To best our knowledge, n...

Os substratos alternativos e adubação orgânica podem ser utilizados para a produção de mudas diversas culturas, inclusive espécies frutíferas. No entanto, seu uso combinado porta-enxertos limão ‘Cravo’ não foi testado até o momento. Portanto, presente estudo avaliou diferentes concentrações chorume vermicompostagem aplicados via substrato na limoeiro ‘Cravo’. tratamentos incluíram três alternat...
