Verrucous carcinoma is a form of squamous cell carcinoma which was first described as a distinct clinical and pathological entz'ty by Ackerman iri 1948. This study is the [irst report of 44 cases in Malaysians. Verrucous Carcinoma (VC) formed 1.8 percent of all oral squamous cell carcinoma cases. There was a predominance ofmales (M:F = 1.4:1). The peak age incidence was between 51 70 years (66 ...

Background P-MRS provides direct insights into myocardial energy supply (ATP, ADP, phosphocreatine (PCr) and inorganic phosphate). An initial study demonstrated that 7T cardiac P-MRS has 2.8x greater SNR than at 3T. However, the translation of more sophisticated P-MRS protocols to 7T is particularly challenged by increased RF heating of tissue at 7T. Chen and Ackerman introduced the surface spo...

This paper has described some of the interventions developed at the Ackerman Brief Therapy Project in treating the families of symptomatic children. The interventions are based upon a differential diagnosis of the family system and upon an evaluation of that system's resistance to change. They are classified as compliance-based or defiance-based, depending upon the family's degree of anxiety, m...

Clustering is an essential data mining tool that aims to discover inherent cluster structure in data. For most applications, applying clustering is only appropriate when cluster structure is present. As such, the study of clusterability, which evaluates whether data possesses such structure, is an integral part of cluster analysis. However, methods for evaluating clusterability vary radically, ...

This chapter describes a simulation system for modeling and testing aerobic circulatory physiology on the virtual environment. There have been many models of the biological system at various scales and from various viewpoints, intended to simulate physiological changes and pathological conditions (McLeod, 1966). However, these models are designed primarily for medical education, and are unsuita...

Federal constitutions are viewed as incomplete contracts that must be renegotiated among self-interested, reelection-seeking politicians. Even when collectively sub-optimal, they are difficult to renegotiate if each state government faces electoral incentives to ignore externalities and federation-wide collective goods. Vertically integrated political parties help resolve this problem by creati...

This report is exploring the advantages and disadvantages with some common sensors needed when positioning a mobile robot with Ackerman steering. Both absolute and relative methods are explored. Odometry based on measuring traveled distance and steering angle is tested and adjusted to obtain the best performance. A Kalman filter is constructed to improve steering angle measurements. The tests a...
