BACKGROUND While transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coil geometry has important effects on the evoked magnetic field, no study has systematically examined how different coil designs affect the effectiveness of cerebellar stimulation. HYPOTHESIS The depth of the cerebellar targets will limit efficiency. Angled coils designed to stimulate deeper tissue are more effective in eliciting cereb...

BACKGROUND Caregiving burden and depression in family caregivers have been investigated, but little is known about how they affect paid caregivers. The aim of this study was to investigate caregiving burden and depression in paid caregivers of hospitalized patients. METHODS A cross-sectional survey study was conducted in a tertiary referral hospital (Chengdu, China) that enrolled 108 paid car...

As vividly illustrated by the quintessential Watt’s governor a natural procedure to modify the behavior of a dynamical system is to interconnect it with another dynamical system. Examples of this approach abound in modern high–performance practical applications and are proven to be very robust and reliable. These include, among many others, mechanical suspension and flapper systems, flotation d...

This study investigated to what extent and how novice second-language (L2) Spanish learners use the cognitive linguistics-informed concept of boundedness support their development aspect—namely, preterite imperfect. The was presented within framework concept-based instruction (CBI) as part a regular, semester-long U.S. college course for true beginners (N = 16). sociocultural approach CBI has b...

The synergistic effect of 2-chloromethylbenzimidazole (2-CBI) and potassium iodide (KI) for mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization curves electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). results showed that, with the addition 100 ppm iodide, inhibition efficiecy (IE) 2-CBI had been improved from 91.14% to 96.15%. And parameter different amount...

the purpose of this study is finding the sensitivity of central bank independence measurements on its impact on inflation in iran. to this aim different measurements of the central bank independence were calculated using the indices of grilli et al. (1991), cukierman et al. (1992), mathew (2006) and dumiter (2009) for the period 1961-2012 . although results of correlation between cbi index and ...

OBJECTIVES A recent study demonstrated the efficacy of the SafERteens intervention in reducing peer violence among adolescents presenting to the emergency department (ED). The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of this ED-based brief intervention (BI) on dating violence 1 year following the ED visit among the subsample of adolescents in the original randomized controlled tria...
