Abstract Forecasting road conditions is important, especially in areas with wintry and rapidly changing weather. Accurate forecasts help authorities keep roads safe optimize maintenance. Considering local features important when making the forecast because surface temperature can vary significantly depending on surroundings. For example, a shadowed location, be lower than open A weather model d...

Executive functions (EFs) regulate human behavior and allow individuals to interact and act in the world. EFs are sensitive to sociodemographic variables such as age, which promotes their decline, and to others that can exert a neuroprotective effect. Objective To assess the predictive role of education, occupation and family income on decline in executive functions among a sample with a wide...

A long-standing assumption about the clear sky is that its colors and luminances are distributed symmetrically about the principal plane. As useful as this approximation is, our digital-image analyses show that clear-sky color and luminance routinely depart perceptibly from exact symmetry. These analyses reconfirm our earlier measurements with narrow field-of-view spectroradiometers [J. Opt. So...

BACKGROUND Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (ADSVF) can be applied to repair tendon and ligament tears. ADSVF treatment has a better therapeutic potential than adipose stem cells alone in promoting the healing of connective tissue injury in rabbit models. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and biomechanical testing were used in this study to evaluate the efficiency of SVF in the healing ...

scientists call pasture a natural eco-system and range is an agricultural eco-system. in this point of view although pasture that was full of plants growing by itself and not growing by human being (pirdashti, 2007; mohgadam, 2005) and two groups of living beings such as human being, plants, domesticated, and not living being like weather, wind, gradient which are effective in making of pasture...

We administered a semantic verbal fluency (SVF) task to two groups of children (age range from 5 to 8): 47 diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD Group) and 53 with typical development (Comparison Group), matched on gender, chronological age, and non-verbal IQ. Four specific indexes were calculated from the SVF task, reflecting the different underlying cognitive strategies used: clusterin...

SVP has a Ž . ...

The Semantic Verbal Fluency (SVF) test entails the generation of words from a given category within a pre-set time of 60 seconds. Objectives To verify whether socio-demographic and clinical data of individuals with dementia correlate with the performance on the SVF test and to ascertain whether differences among the criteria of number of answers, clusters and data spread over the intervals, p...

BACKGROUND Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) represents an attractive source of adult stem cells and progenitors, holding great promise for numerous cell therapy approaches. In 2017, it was reported that 1524 patients received autologous SVF following the enzymatic digestion of liposuction fat. The treatment was safe and effective and patients showed significant clinical improvement. In a collabo...
