Title of Document: RELIABILITY AND TEST ENVIRONMENT OF THE SCAN-A WITH CHILDREN AGES 12-15 Michele Lynn Spencer, Doctor of Clinical Audiology, 2007 Directed By: Professor Sandra Gordon-Salant, Hearing and Speech Sciences The SCAN-A is a widely utilized auditory processing screening tool for use with adolescents and adults 12-to-50 years of age. The SCAN-A consists of four subtests: Filtered Wor...

The resolution, bandwidth, and duty cycle of a laser beam scanner make it useful as an image recorder. Laser image recorders can have either a flatfield or a cylindrical recording surface, the flatfield being preferable in applications where dimensional stability is extremely important . A problem with flat field recording systems is the difficulty in obtaining a constant scan rate. This diffic...

the relationship between qt dispersion and myocardial ischemia is still controversial. therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between qtd and the severity and extent of myocardial ischemia. in this cross-sectional study, 141 patients having symptoms of cad who referred to our medical center during 2009-2010, and were examined with myocardial isotope scan and ecg, were enrolled. bas...

reverse redistribution pattern is defined as decreased activity in the myocardium in the rest phase of the myocardial perfusion scan in comparison with the stress images. there are many studies concerning the etiology and clinical significant of this phenomenon in nuclear medicine literature. the dominant idea about etiology of reverse redistribution is early wash out of the radiotracer from th...

A quantum-enhanced sensing technique based on two cavities coupled via a Josephson ring modulator is developed to substantially accelerate detection scan rate, ultimately boosting significantly the search of axions.

BACKGROUND The elimination strategy reduced known leprosy prevalence but the detection rate remains high in many countries, including Brazil. The high Brazilian detection rate imposes a limit to the reduction of known prevalence in the short term. The knowledge of time behaviour and spatial distribution of leprosy statistics will contribute to decision making for leprosy control. METHOD The n...
