We describe and evaluate a new instrument design called a Tunable Echelle Imager (TEI). In this instrument, the output from an imaging Fabry-Perot interferometer is cross-dispersed by a grism in one direction and dispersed by an echelle grating in the perpendicular direction. This forms a mosaic of different narrow-band images of the same field on a detector. It offers a distinct wavelength mul...

In aquatic sports such as swimming, kayaking and rowing, a high degree of technical proficiency is necessary to develop the speed demanded for competitive success. The Technical Economy Index (TEI) is a quick and simple measure which enables a coaches of a variety of competitive sports to monitor both technical development and economy of motion during execution of a race plan. This article disc...

Yau Ma Tei Dermatology Clinic, 12/F, Yau Ma Tei Specialist Clinic, 143 Battery Street, Kowloon, Hong Kong Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a benign idiopathic proliferative disorder. It commonly affects lymph nodes, but other organs can be involved. RDD limited to skin is rare. We report a 45-yearold Chinese man suffering from RDD. The first three skin biopsies revealed granulomatous inflammation...

Polish Corpus of Suicide Notes (henceforth PCSN) is constructed to meet the needs of forensic linguistics. Suicide notes are messages created in borderline situation, shortly before death. Hence the annotation schema requires a complex description of a document structure, the textual content, as well as its linguistic properties. TEI was selected as the basis for the document encoding schema. T...

Introduction The Tei index is an echocardiographic measure of global ventricular function, calculated as ((isovolumic contraction time) + (isovolumic relaxation time)) / (ejection time). This may be calculated as ((time of atrioventricular valve closure) (time of arterial valve closure)) / (time of arterial valve closure). Used as a measure of systolic as well as diastolic function, the Tei ind...

As originally published in previous editions of the Guidelines, this chapter provided a gentle introduction to ‘just enough’ SGML for anyone to understand how the TEI used that standard. Since then, the Gentle Guide seems to have taken on a life of its own independent of the Guidelines, having been widely distributed (and flatteringly imitated) on the web. In revising it for the present draft, ...

To properly encode properties of textual documents using XML, mul­ tiple markup hierarchies must be used, often leading to conflicting markup in encodings. Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines[1] recognize this problem and suggest a number of ways to incorporate multiple hierarchies in a single well-formed XML document. In this paper, we present a framework for pro­ cessing XPath queries o...

abstract introduction: doppler echocardiography is used to evaluate global myocardial performance. an index of myocardial performance (tei index) can be of great prognostic value in heart failure. this study was performed to assess the correlation between tei index (ti) and left ventricular end diastolic pressure (lvedp). methods: the study group consisted of 38 patients. each patient underwent...

BACKGROUND Functional analysis of the right ventricle cannot be reliably evaluated by conventional echocardiography, because of its complex geometry and load dependence of ejection phase indices. The Tei index, dP/dt, and myocardial acceleration during isovolumic contraction are parameters of right ventricular (RV) contractility unaffected by RV geometry. However, the effect of loading conditio...
