Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) as defined by detailed microscopic examination was found in 34 of 80 consecutive cases of head trauma surviving for a sufficient length of time to be clinically assessed by the Royal Adelaide Hospital Neurosurgery Unit. The findings indicate that there is a spectrum of axonal injury and that one third of cases of DAI recovered sufficiently to talk between the initial...

I-fiber implantation is a new stitching technology that can effectively enhance the interlayer performance of laminated composites. This paper presents and evaluates design implementation robot system integrated for producing high-performance fiber preforms advanced The was constructed validated through experimentation. It demonstrated automated could be achieved by use an industrial robot. pro...

The timed up and go test (TUG) is a common clinical functional balance often used to complement findings on sensorimotor changes due aging or sensory/motor dysfunction. instrumented TUG can be obtain objective postural gait measures that are more sensitive mobility changes. We investigated whether body coordination during representative of walking. examined the walking phase compared metrics (s...

Astyanax pirabitira, new species, is described from the upper portion of the rio das Antas, laguna dos Patos system, and from the rio Pelotas, upper rio Uruguay drainage, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The new species belongs to the A. scabripinnis species complex and differs from its congeners by a combination of characters, viz., body depth (27.1-34.0% of standard length), narrow interorbit...

OBJECTIVE.Our goal was to determine whether the third ventricle is significantly enlarged among neonates with trisomy 21, compared with infants without clinical signs of trisomy 21. This enlargement might be related to hypoplasia of the structures surrounding the third ventricle. These structures participate in cognitive development, and hypoplasia in this area may be responsible for some of th...

Parental lines, namely: F1, F2, BC1, BC2, BC11, BC12, BC21, BC22, BC1 selfed, and BC2 selfed generations of three crosses involving six cultivars of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) were studied for awn length under normaland late-sown environments to analyze the nature of gene effects and components of heterosis (over the better parent). A sixparameter model in the cross Cocorit 71 x A-9-30-...

Motivated by the comparison of DNA sequences, a generalization is given of the result of Erdos and Renyi on the length R, of the longest run of heads in the first n tosses of a coin. Suppose that all the " letters " are independent and identically distributed. The length of the longest match without shifts has the same distribution as R, , the length of the longest head run for a biased coin wi...
