BACKGROUND Xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) is a metabolic disorder involving the eyelids. Radiofrequency(RF) surgery and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) applications have been listed among the procedures for XP, but comparative studies are not available. AIM To compare the efficacy of radiofrequency surgery versus trichloroacetic acid application in the treatment of XP. SETTINGS AND DESIGN 20 conse...

We compare the statistical analysis of indicator matrices and Burt tables by correspondence analysis (CA) and taxicab correspondence analysis (TCA). There are two new results in this paper. First, TCA of a Burt table corresponds to a particular kind of CA of the indicator matrix based on the centroid decomposition. Second, the response patterns in multiple TCA will be represented as (number of ...

2,4,6-Trichloroanisole (TCA) is well recognized as one of the most responsible molecules cork taint, an organoleptic defect wine which represents a serious problem for industries. Up to now, very few examples TCA-biosensors have been developed and we report herein promising nickel (0) complex that can be employed chemosensor TCA detection in stoppers. Among three Ni complexes studied this work,...

Introduction Efforts to engage traditional, complementary, and alternative (TCA) health providers in the public health workforce are gaining increasing attention in India. Evidence from studies evaluating the efforts to integrate TCA health providers into the formal public health system highlights numerous lacunae in policy and practice. This study was undertaken to diagnose operational and eth...

A new method of nonstationary signal analysis, called time-correlation analysis (TCA), is applied to a class of nonstationary random signals containing time distortion. The method reveals a relationship between the TCA summary statistics and the distortion and leads to two nonparametric estimators for the distortion function. An example is given that demonstrates the application of the TCA meth...

Introduction: The human heart is in most cases vascularized by two coronary arteries, the right artery (RCA) and left artery. supernumerary artery, which arises independently from aortic sinus passes through sub-epicardial adipose tissue of pulmonary conus anterior side ventricle called third (TCA). Methods: This study consisted 28 formalin-fixed adult cadaveric hearts. presence TCA was determi...
