Traditional models of visual search such as feature integration theory (FIT; Treisman & Gelade, 1980), have suggested that a key factor determining task difficulty consists of whether or not the search target contains a "basic feature" not found in the other display items (distractors). Here we discriminate between such traditional models and our recent texture tiling model (TTM) of search (Ros...

A Tamed Transformation Method (TTM) cryptosystem was proposed by T.T.Moh in 1999. We describe how the rst implementation scheme of the TTM system can be defeated. The computational complexity of our attack is 2 33 computations on the nite eld with 2 8 elements. 1. Introduction During the last twenty years, public key cryptosystems have been developed to become an important part of our modern co...

Canine hemangiosarcoma (HSA) is a neoplasm of vascular endothelial origin that has an aggressive biological behaviour, with less than 10% of dogs alive at 12-months postdiagnosis. Treatment of choice consists of surgery followed by adjuvant doxorubicin-based chemotherapy. We prospectively compared adjuvant doxorubicin and dacarbazine (ADTIC) to a traditional doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC...

Temporal Text Mining (TTM) is concerned with discovering temporal patterns in text information collected over time. Since most text information bears some time stamps, TTM has many applications in multiple domains, such as summarizing events in news articles and revealing research trends in scientific literature. In this paper, we study a particular TTM task – discovering and summarizing the ev...

The health benefits of physical activity are well documented yet 70% of adults remain sedentary. It has been suggested that interventions based on the transtheoretical model of behaviour change (TTM) may be useful in promoting physical activity. Published work on the effectiveness of such interventions is therefore critically reviewed. Although there is evidence that TTM based activity promotio...

Researchers in South Korea previously reported that diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) could be used to predict neurologic outcomes before targeted temperature management (TTM) after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) from cardiac arrest. In a new study, the same team of researchers compared the efficacy of brain computed tomography (CT) and DW-MRI to predict neurologi...

In cardiac arrest patients the primary goal is to restart the heart, return the patient to life, and keep the brain intact. In 1960 a landmark article described the outcome in CPR [1]. In 1964 Peter Safar published the first integrated approach to cardiac arrest, and recommended therapeutic hypothermia (TH) for support recovery [2]. These two studies merged in the first American Heart Associati...

OBJECTIVE To examine the efficacy of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for the treatment of pediatric trichotillomania (TTM) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, add-on study. METHOD A total of 39 children and adolescents aged 8 to 17 years with pediatric trichotillomania were randomly assigned to receive NAC or matching placebo for 12 weeks. Our primary outcome was change in severity of hairpulling a...

BACKGROUND/AIM This study was conducted to determine the effect of transtheoretical model (TTM)-based individual counseling, training, and a 6-month follow-up on smoking cessation in adult women. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out this randomized controlled trial in Konya, Turkey. Female subjects were randomly assigned into groups in a 1:1 ratio using block randomization, block size 3 × 3, ...
