OBJECTIVE To examine direct and mediated effects of maternal IQ, marital status, family income, and quality of the home environment on the cognitive development of low birthweight infants. METHODS Secondary analyses on a large dataset using hierarchical regression identified factors correlated with cognitive outcomes in children at 3 years of age who were born at low birthweight. RESULTS Ma...

Zero-IF receivers are gaining interest because they enable low-cost WLAN OFDM terminals. However, Zero-IF receivers introduce IQ imbalance which may have a huge impact on the performance. Rather than increasing component cost to decrease the IQ imbalance, an alternative is to tolerate the IQ imbalance and compensate it digitally. Current solutions converge too slow for bursty WLAN communication...

INTRODUCTION A child's intelligence quotient (IQ) is determined by both genetic and environmental factors that start from the prenatal period itself. There is a lack of data on the factors which influence IQ in Indian children; therefore, we conducted a multicenter questionnaire-based study to determine the environmental factors which influence IQ in Indian children. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS ...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and intelligence (IQ) are both heritable phenotypes. Overlapping genetic effects have been suggested to influence both, with neuroimaging work suggesting similar overlap in terms of morphometric properties of the brain. Together, this evidence suggests that the brain changes characteristic of ADHD may vary as a function of IQ. This study investiga...

Nowadays Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is rather a technical problem than an organizational issue in enterprise systems. Due to the increased complexity of EAI processes, it is difficult to guarantee the information quality (IQ) without scientific process control. Information Quality Management (IQM) highlights the control of the business processes by resolving IQ problems through IQ...

The nature of the relationship between IQ and dynamic risk factors for sexual offending (as measured by the Structured Assessment for Risk and Need; SARN) were explored. The aim was to establish if any dynamic risk factors were related to lower IQ in order to draw conclusions about the factors that are most relevant to sexual offenders with intellectual disability. The study used a Bayesian reg...

Sir, Anderson et al. (2009) refuted the Kennard Principle, which states that the immature brain is more plastic and less vulnerable to insult than a mature brain (Montour-Proulx et al., 2004); however, there are important errors in Table 5 of their paper. The IQ data for their six age subgroups do not tally with the total group figures in the last column of Table 5. In each of these six subgrou...

The Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a muscular dystrophy with cognitive impairment present in 20-30% of the cases. In the present study, in order to study the relationship between the alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG) immunostaining in skeletal muscle and cognitive performance in DMD patients, 19 were assessed. Twelve patients performed the intelligence quotient (IQ) below the average. Among t...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to examine to what extent maternal and offspring phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) genotypes in conjunction with maternal IQ and dietary control during pregnancy are related to cognitive development in offspring of women with phenylketonuria (PKU). METHODS PAH gene mutations were determined in 196 maternal PKU subjects and their offspring. The women we...
