This paper presents a coding protocol that allows naïve users to annotate dialogue transcripts for anaphora and ellipsis. Cohen's kappa statistic demonstrates that the protocol is sufficiently robust in terms of reliability. It is proposed that quantitative ellipsis data may be used as an index of mutual-engagement. Current and potential uses of ellipsis coding are described.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for locating the site of gastrointestinal tract perforations and to determine the most predictive signs in this diagnosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 98 patients with pneumoperitoneum on MDCT were retrospectively analysed. Two experienced radiologists reviewed the presence or a...

The discrepancy index evaluates the complexity of initial orthodontic diagnosis. objective is to compare whether there a difference in final score American Board Orthodontics (ABO) when obtained using digital and manual techniques. Fifty-six records physical format were included (28 each) 2022 at Center for Research Advanced Studies Dentistry. For measurements, iTero TRIOS 3 intraoral scanners ...

Statement of the problem: Fluorescein is a plaque detection agent, which fluoresces yellow-green when excited with blue light (dental light curing lamp). Little is known about the reproducibility of scoring with the Silness-Löe plaque index (1964) when using this agent. Purpose of the study: To evaluate the level of agreement of the plaque index measurements using a fluorescent colouring agent ...

Kappa distributions possess an enhanced high-energy tail characterized by a spectral index ?. Here we consider how kappa influence the whistler mode instability. In relativistic regime, analyze effects of bi-kappa and loss-cone on linear nonlinear growth waves. We find that for ? = 2, rate corresponding to distribution exceeds bi-Maxwellian (? ?) electron anisotropies less than critical value. ...

 Objective: Triage refers to the evaluation and categorization of patients for better management to deliver services. A good triage system should be able to accurately specify the patients who require urgent care. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of emergency nurses in correct triage using Emergency Severity Index (ESI) triage. Methods: In ...

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to design and compile a model of friendship-oriented leadership. The statistical population included a group of experts in the field of leadership and management and broadcasting experts in the field of broadcasting. Methodology: In this research, a total of 20 people were selected as participants using a targeted sampling approach. The data was collect...

Let $Y_{1}, \ldots , Y_{q}$ be closed subschemes in $\ell $-subgeneral position with index $\kappa $ a complex projective variety $X$ of dimension $n.$ $A$ an ample Cartier divisor on $X.$ We show that if holomorphic curve $f:\mathbb C \to X$

Introduction: Although proximal dental caries are very common, clinical examinations cannot detect them all. Panoramic radiography has been widely used in dentistry for both diagnosis and screening. This study aimed to investigate and compare the efficacy of two digital panoramic radiography techniques in the diagnosis of proximal caries. Methods: A total number of 60 patients referred to a den...
