Data contained in a 1982 paper were analyzed in terms of relevance odds of common items retrieved by searching any two content-bearing search fields. While the 1982 study compared the relative retrieval performance of 7 search fields, the present study shows that duplicate documents retrieved by the use of terms from any two of the fields would have higher odds of being judged relevant than tho...

MRI-based hippocampus volume, a core feasible biomarker of Alzheimer's disease (AD), is not yet widely used in clinical patient care, partly due to lack of validation of software tools for hippocampal volumetry that are compatible with routine workflow. Here, we evaluate fully-automated and computationally efficient hippocampal volumetry with FSL-FIRST for prediction of AD dementia (ADD) in sub...

Wireless power transmission is based on electromagnetical phenomenon between two separate coils. In order to transfer power from one to the other, we have to cause a time-varying current along one coil. Many of conventional wireless power transmission systems suppose a sinusoidal current of the coil. One reason for it could be the convenience that we have a sinusoidal power source as the indust...

The purpose of the present study is to compare the impoliteness strategies employed by Iranian and English students in English and Persian Languages. The participants consisted of 6o Iranian EFL learners at intermediate level of language proficiency, 60 Iranian non-English major students, and 212 native English-speaking students. The data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire in th...

We consider shared memory systems that support multiobject operations in which processes may simultaneously access several objects in one atomic operation. We provide upper and lower bounds on the synchronization power (consensus number) of multiobject systems as a function of the type and the number of objects that may be simultaneously accessed in one atomic operation. These bounds imply that...

Given S1, a finite set of points in the plane, we define a sequence of point sets Si as follows: With Si already determined, let Li be the set of all the line segments connecting pairs of points of ⋃i j=1 Sj , and let Si+1 be the set of intersection points of those line segments in Li, which cross but do not overlap. We show that with the exception of some starting configurations the set of all...

Variation in the size and overlap of space use by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) has broad implications for managing deer–human conflicts and disease spread and transmission in urban landscapes. Understanding which factors affect overlap of home range by various segments (i.e., age, sex) of an urban deer population has implications to direct contact between deer on disease epidemiol...

This study aims to uncover the effects of two types of add-on content –namely, user generated and developer generated content– on user engagement with software. Utilizing a novel dataset from a major online game distribution platform covering 7323 products between January 2015 and February 2016, the findings reveal that both types of add-on content increases the engagement with software. Howeve...
