We describe a formal speciication and veriication in PVS for the general theory of SRT division, and for the hardware design of a spe-ciic implementation. The speciication demonstrates how attributes of the PVS language (in particular, predicate subtypes) allow the general theory to be developed in a readable manner that is similar to textbook presentations, while the PVS table construct allows...

This study examines the antecedents and consequences of customers' intentions to use smart retail technology (SRT), specifically Smart Retail Carts. We propose that perceived novelty, efficacy, compatibility, risk SRT determine consumers' SRT, which, in turn, influences their shopping value through interaction with this SRT. Survey responses from 338 actual shoppers prior experience were used t...

Speech detection threshold (SDT) depends on audibility alone, whereas speech recognition (SRT) requires the stimuli to be heard and identified. The aim of study was determine difference between SDT SRT, analyze correlation pure tone thresholds thresholds. Difference SRT ? 12 dB in majority cases (p = .018). strongly correlated with best threshold. Pearson coefficient highest “Inverted U” shape ...

PURPOSE In a health care environment strongly concerned with cost containment, cost-benefit studies of new technology must include analyses of loco-regional tumor control, morbidity, impact on quality of life, and financial considerations. METHODS AND MATERIALS This nonrandomized study analyzes 124 patients treated with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D CRT) and 153 with stand...

Hearing tests: quantify the hearing abilities of people with both normal hearing and hearing impairments Speech reception threshold (SRT): SNR level at which the speech recognition rate of a person is 50% – Evaluating a listener’s hearing capabilities and diagnosing hearing loss – Adjusting the CI parameters and analyze the impact of new developments in CI devices – Provides useful data for psy...

Stationary and pursuit fixation may involve different fixation mechanisms that are reflected by differences in saccadic reaction times (SRTs). Gap, Simultaneous, and Overlap interval paradigms provided three distinct SRT ranges for comparisons between these two viewing conditions. SRTs following pursuit fixation were longer than following stationary fixation, but were similarly affected by the ...

The authors investigated perceptual learning of a novel accent in young and older listeners through measuring speech reception thresholds (SRTs) using speech materials spoken in a novel-unfamiliar-accent. Younger and older listeners adapted to this accent, but older listeners showed poorer comprehension of the accent. Furthermore, perceptual learning differed across groups: The older listeners ...

Genes for two group 1 beta-lactamases, SRT-1 and SST-1, were sequenced. These beta-lactamases were produced by clinical isolates of Serratia marcescens, isolates GN16694 and GN19450, respectively. The resulting enzymes were 96% identical. SRT-1 hydrolyzed oxyimino cephalosporins, but SST-1 hardly hydrolyzed them. At residue 213 in the third motif, which is conserved among group 1 beta-lactamase...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of CyberKnife stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) for recurrent glial tumors previously treated with high-dose radiotherapy. METHODS CyberKnife SRT was performed in 37 patients with recurrent glial tumors who presented to our hospital between January 2007 and March 2012. The patients were subjected to a dose ranging from 20 to 28 Gy using the CyberKni...
