Introduction Subdural haematoma (SDH) is a form of traumatic brain injury that can be classified as acute, subacute or chronic, based upon time from injury. When acute, it is a medical emergency in which surgical decompression is the only option to prevent mortality. Small subdurals and those that are no longer actively bleeding may be left to re-absorb spontaneously and clinical decision-makin...

R2 is an attempt to create an interconnection component that provides reliable packet delivery services at low latency under bursty traac situations and in the presence of certain faults in either the network or processing elements. The R2 design is based on a damped adap-tive routing scheme that avoids livelock, exhibits improved latency under bursty congestion, while performing similar to det...

This paper describes the fourth participation of IR-n system (Alicante University) at CLEF conferences. At present conference, we have modified the similarity measure and the query expansion model. Concerning the similarity measure, we use the normalization based on the number of words for each one of the passages. Finally, we test two different approaches for query expansion: the first one is ...

R2-type measures are commonly used tools for assessing the predictive power of linear regression models; for generalized linear models this measure is based on deviances. For small samples, it is necessary to adjust R2 for the number of covariates. This article shows that some of the adjustments that have been proposed for logistic, Poisson, gamma and inverse Gaussian models, can be expressed i...

Data from seven beef steer trials were compiled and regression analyses used to evaluate relationships among molar proportions of acetate (Ac), propionate (Pr) and butyrate (Bu), total concentration of volatile fatty acids (VFA), rumen ammonia (NH3), rumen pH, rumen fluid dilution rate (FDR), rumen fluid volume (FVOL), body weight (WT), dry matter intake (DMI) and dietary concentration and inta...

TRH (thyroliberin) is a tripeptide (pGlu-His-ProNH2) that signals via G protein-coupled receptors. Until recently, only a single receptor for TRH was known (TRH-R1), but two groups identified a second receptor, TRH-R2. We independently discovered TRH-R2. Using an extensive set of TRH analogs, we found no differences in TRH-R1 and TRH-R2 binding or in acute stimulation of signaling. TRH-R2 was m...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between magnetic resonance transverse relaxation rate (R2*) and prognostic factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 159 women with invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs) underwent breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) including blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) sequence at 3 T. The distribution of the measured R2* values were analyzed, and the correl...
