Introduction: Social media has become an important element of interaction and found itself a place in every aspect of our lives. This study examined the twitter activities of emergency medicine physicians and residents (EMP&R;) about the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: The study concentrated on Twitter, a major social media network. To identify accounts owned ...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article titled - "An exchange market pressure measure for cross country analysis" (Patnaik et al. [1]). In this article, we present the dataset for Exchange Market Pressure values (EMP) for 139 countries along with their conversion factors, ρ (rho). Exchange Market Pressure, expressed in percentage change in exchange rate, measures ...

BACKGROUND Endothelial Microparticles (EMPs) are small vesicles shed from activated or apoptotic endothelial cells and involved in cellular cross-talk. Whether EMP immunophenotypes vary according to stimulus in Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is not known. We studied the cellular adhesion molecule (CAM) profile of circulating EMPs in patients with and without Diabetes Mellitus type 2, who were undergoin...

Message passing over a factor graph can be considered as a generalization of the many well-known algorithms for an efficient marginalization of multivariate functions. The specific instance of the algorithm is obtained by selection of an appropriate commutative semiring for the range of the function to be marginalized. Some of the examples are the Viterbi algorithm, obtained on a max-product se...

In this paper, cell deformation induced by low-intensity electromagnetic pulses (EMP’s) is presented. A broad-band transverse electromagnetic wave cell (BTEM cell) was used in the experimental system to simulate the free space transmission condition. The biological samples were exposed to the EMP field in the BTEM cell. After the chick's erythrocytes were exposed to EMP field, pores on their me...

Conventionally, polynomial filters are derived for evenly spaced points. Here, a derivation of polynomial filters for irregularly spaced points is provided and illustrated by example. The filter weights and variance reduction factors (VRFs) for both expanding memory polynomial (EMP) and fading-memory polynomial (FMP) filters are programmatically derived so that the expansion up to any degree ca...

The extensor medii proprius (EMP) is anomalous extensor muscle of the hand. During the routine dissection of a 78-year-old Chinese male cadaver, bilateral EMP and extensor indicis proprius (EIP) were observed in the upper limbs. The EMP originated from the distal third of the ulna and its tendon was inserted into the dorsal aponeurosis of the middle finger on both hands. The tendon of EIP was s...

We propose a model of expressive music performance (EMP), focusing on the emergence of EMP under social pressure, including social interaction and generational inheritance. Previously, we have reported a system to evolve EMP using Genetic Algorithm, exploring the effect of generational inheritance. This paper presents a system that evolves expressive performance profiles through social interact...

The complete chemical analysis of natural silicates has previously been accomplished only by combining laser ablation ICP-MS with electron microprobe (EMP) analysis to provide complementary information on major element constituents. Here, we present a method for laser ablation ICP-MS analysis of major elements in silicate glasses and minerals that, when applied using a 193 nm laser system coupl...
