Diagnostic and differential diagnostic of orbital diseases are considered to be one of the most difficult problems in ophthalmology because most orbital pathologies display the same signs and symptoms. Condition of orbital tissues can be evaluated using three different radiology imaging techniques: A/B-scan ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. A/B-scan ultrasono...

In this paper we characterise the selection into parenthood for men and women separately and estimate effects of motherhood and fatherhood on wages. We apply propensity score matching exploiting an extensive high-quality register-based data set augmented with family background information. We estimate net effects of parenthood and find that mothers receive 7.4% lower average wages compared to n...

A healthcare company purchased property in eastern Iowa for a facility expansion. Before the purchase, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) revealed that the property was the site of a former dry cleaning business. Phase II sampling and testing indicated that tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) had affected site soil and groundwater. Maximum concentrations of PCE and TCE ...

Acoustic Source Perception is capability of human to classify incoming sensory information from the surroundings. Introduction of noise affects the Acoustic Source Perception (ASP) and also decrease the concentration of human subject for a particular task. Thus, an effort has been made to evaluate impact of introduction of noise on ASP by human subjects. A device has been developed using variou...

Figure 2: Coronal slice with SPAMM lines (left) and visualization of line tracking in temporal direction (right). Methods The SPAMM prepulse imposes a line pattern on the magnetization. The distortion of the line pattern can be directly related to the motion that occurred between prepulse and readout. The SPAMM sequence was reconfigured for detecting aperiodic motion by removing the ECG trigger...

The distribution of errors is a central object in the assesment and benchmarking computational chemistry methods. popular often blind use mean unsigned error as statistic leads to ignore distributions features that impact reliability tested We explore how Gini coefficient offers global representation distribution, but, except for extreme values, does not enable an unambiguous diagnostic. propos...
