Methods Sixty adults with HV and 30 controls participated. Functional measures included: hallux muscle strength, walking performance, postural sway and forefoot plantar pressures. Cluster analysis was used to classify HV subjects as mild, moderate or severe based on radiographic HV angle. Multiple analysis of covariance and pairwise comparisons (P<0.05, Bonferroni adjustment) were used to inves...

The large number of exact fitness function evaluations makes evolutionary algorithms to have computational cost (especially in Multi Objective Problems (MOPs)). In some realworld problems, reducing number of these evaluations is much more valuable even by increasing computational complexity and spending more time. To fulfil this target, we introduce an effective factor, in spite of applied fact...

The Charged Particle Lunar Environment Experiment (CPLEE), a part of the Apollo 14ALSEP, is an ion-electron spectrometer capable of measuring ions and electrons with energies between40 eV and 50 keY. The instrument, with apertures 26 em above the surface, has detected a photo-electron gas layer above the sunlit lunar surface, with energies ranging up to 200 eV. Experimentaldata ...

The interactions of Flavobacterium columnare isolates of different virulence with the gills of carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) were investigated. Both fish species were exposed to different high (HV) or low virulence (LV) isolates and sacrificed at seven predetermined times post-challenge. Histopathological and ultrastructural examination of carp and ra...

We present high sensitivity maps of the High Velocity (HV) CO emission toward the molecular outflows around IRc2 and Orion–S in the Orion A molecular cloud. The maps reveal the presence of HV bullets in both outflows with velocities between 40-80 km s−1 from the ambient gas velocity. The blue and redshifted CO HV bullets associated with the IRc2 outflow are distributed in thin (12′′ − 20′′, 0.0...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hyperintense vessels (HVs) have been observed in fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging of patients with acute ischemic stroke and been linked to slow flow in collateral arterial circulation. Given the potential importance of HV, we used a large, multicenter data set of patients with stroke to clarify which clinical and imaging factors play a role in HV. METHODS We...

INTRODUCTION Home ventilation (HV) for children is growing rapidly worldwide. The aim was to describe (1) the sociodemographic characteristics of children on HV and (2) the indications for, means and outcome of initiating HV in children from a developing country. METHODOLOGY This retrospective study included patients sent home on noninvasive or invasive ventilation, over 13 years, by the pedi...

1 The discovery of the supersoft X-ray source RX J0527.8–6954 during the ROSAT first light observation (Trümper et al. 1991) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in June 1990 has directed some attention to the optical variable HV 2554 because its location is within the X-ray error circle of RX J0527.8–6954 (Trümper et al. 1991, Greiner et al. 1991). Later ROSAT observations improved the X-ray po...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hyperintense vessels (HV) detected on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) indicate cerebral hypoperfusion. However, the clinical meaning of changes in HV is yet to be clarified. Here, we investigated serial changes to HV in patients with AIS who received tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) therapy. METHODS We studied ...
