OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of built environment interventions in managing behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) among residents in long-term care settings. METHODS Systematic review of literature published from 1995-2013. Studies were included if they: were randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental trials, or comparative cohort studies; were in long-te...

Facing the trend of increasing population, how to increase maize grain yield is a very important issue ensure food security. In this study, 28 nationally approved hybrids were evaluated across 24 different climatic conditions for two consecutive years (2018–2019). The purpose study was select high-yield with stable genotypes and identify agronomic traits breeding program improvement. results sh...

BACKGROUND Multi-arm trials enable the evaluation of multiple treatments within a single trial. They provide a way of substantially increasing the efficiency of the clinical development process. However, since multi-arm trials test multiple hypotheses, some regulators require that a statistical correction be made to control the chance of making a type-1 error (false-positive). Several conflicti...

An open, extendible multi-dictionary system is introduced in the paper. It supports the translator in accessing adequate entries of various biand monolingual dictionaries and translation examples from parallel corpora. Simultaneously an unlimited number of dictionaries can be held open, thus by a single interrogation step, all the dictionaries (translations, explanations, synonyms, etc.) can be...

The ego motion estimation from an image sequence, commonly known as visual odometry, has been thoroughly studied in recent years. Different solutions have been developed depending on the particular scenario the system interacts in. In highly textured environments point features are abundant and visual odometry approaches focus on complementary steps, such as sparse bundle adjustment or keyframe...

The recent advances in gene expression analysis as well as protein and metabolite quantification enable genome-scale capturing of complex biological processes at the molecular level in crop field trials. This opens up new possibilities for understanding the molecular and environmental complexity of field-based systems and thus shedding light on the black box between genotype and environment, wh...
