OBJECTIVE We assessed the psychometrics of a self-administered survey modification of the Activity Card Sort (modified; ACSm) when used to track activity resumption after stem cell transplantation (SCT). METHOD Thirty-six participants completed the ACSm for a descriptive pilot study of recovery after SCT. Reliability was assessed by determining the longitudinal consistency of participants' de...

DOI: 10.4103/0019‐5154.198029 A 25-year-old male presented with a solitary asymptomatic swelling over the right elbow of six months duration. There was no history of joint pain, breathlessness, diabetes, or any other systemic complaint. He was not on any medication. Cutaneous examination revealed solitary, nontender, subcutaneous nodule measuring 4 mm × 4 mm over the right elbow [Figure 1]. The...

DOI: 10.4103/0019‐5154.190112 A 7-year-old, Indian boy, born out of consanguineous parentage, presented with multiple scars on his face for the past 2 years and a few raised pruritic skin eruptions over different parts of his body for the same duration. His grandfather reportedly had similar kind of lesions. On examination, we found multiple well-defined, shallow, atrophic scars over his face. ...

We study the dynamics of a prolate spheroidal microswimmer in Poiseuille flow for different flow geometries. When moving between two parallel plates or in a cylindrical microchannel, the swimmer performs either periodic swinging or periodic tumbling motion. Although the trajectories of spherical and elongated swimmers are qualitatively similar, the swinging and tumbling frequency strongly depen...

In agile ontology-based software engineering projects support for modular reuse of ontologies from large existing remote repositories, ontology project life cycle management, and transitive dependency management are important needs. The contribution of this paper is a new design artifact called OntoMaven combined with a unified approach to ontology modularization, aspect-oriented ontology devel...

The technology of opinion extraction allows users to retrieve and analyze people’s opinions scattered over Web documents. We define an opinion unit as a quadruple consisting of the opinion holder, the subject being evaluated, the part or the attribute in which the subject is evaluated, and the value of the evaluation that expresses a positive or negative assessment. We use this definition as th...

One of the fundamental issues in Aspect-Oriented approaches is aspect-to-aspect interference, which occurs when multiple aspects are deployed jointly such that different composition orders may give rise to various inconsistency problems. This paper describes how aspect precedence can be specified explicitly at the modeling level in order to derive a correct composition order and therefore reduc...
