Objectives To evaluate whether country of medical qualification is associated with “higher impact” decisions at different stages of the UK General Medical Council’s (GMC’s) “fitness to practise” process after allowing for other characteristics of doctors and inquiries. Design Retrospective cohort study. SettingMedical practice in the United Kingdom. Participants 7526 inquiries to the GMC concer...

Perceptual load theory successfully replaced the early vs. late selection debate by appealing to adaptive control over the efficiency of selective attention. Early selection is observed unless perceptual load (p-Load) is sufficiently low to grant attentional "spill-over" to task-irrelevant stimuli. Many studies exploring load theory have used limited display durations that perhaps impose artifi...

In this paper we will show that Ikema, a dialect of Miyako Ryukyuan, has a three-tone system, where three tonal classes, Types A, B, and C, are lexically distinguished, contra the previous studies which have claimed that it has a two-tone system. The results of our quantitative analysis of production data also revealed that Type A words are remarkably small in number, indicating that Type A wor...

Following your need to always fulfil the inspiration to obtain everybody is now simple. Connecting to the internet is one of the short cuts to do. There are so many sources that offer and connect us to other world condition. As one of the products to see in internet, this website becomes a very available place to look for countless multi frame motion compensated prediction for video transmissio...

Recent studies have provided strong evidence that photoplethysmographic imaging (PPGi) techniques can serve for measuring the heart rate from video recordings. However, in the works on PPGi technology so far, motion artifacts, which limit the accuracy, were unavoidable. In this work, we present an exploration of our assumption that for a particular model of camera, there is an optimal measureme...

We consider the cosmology of a “3-brane universe” in a five dimensional (bulk) space-time with a cosmological constant. We show that Einstein’s equations admit a first integral, analogous to the first Friedmann equation, which governs the evolution of the metric in the brane, whatever the time evolution of the metric along the fifth dimension. We thus obtain the cosmological evolution in the br...

In this paper, fundamental limitations of the Control Grid Interpolation and Block Matching schemes for motion compensation are remedied by a novel idea which embodies positive features of both schemes. The enhanced scheme performs both consistently and signiicantly better than either method does individually.

This paper presents the design of a new error compensation model for providing QoS support on a wireless network. The compensation model uses different compensation strategies for the different priority classes in conjunction with a Multiclass Priority Fair Queuing (MPFQ) algorithm. Criteria for fair error compensation and a classification of error compensation models are established in order t...
