The two most commonly used methods for obtaining crosstable lateral radiographs of the cervical spine are the conventional cross-table view (CCV) and the swimmer's view (SV). Shapiro [1) reported that another prone cross-table view, obtained with the shoulders elevated from the table, may facilitate visualization of the lower cervical spine. To our knowledge, this latter technique, which we cal...

O corpus consistiu em palavras contendo dois padrões silábicos: CCV C...

In this paper, a new algorithm called wavelet correlogram-CCV (W3C) for contentbased image indexing and retrieval is presented. W3C is an extension of wavelet correlogram that utilizes color coherence vectors (CCV) to consider texture information in addition to the shape for gray-level images. Additionally, a new distance measure that is optimized by genetic algorithms is proposed. The retrieva...

BACKGROUND Ethical conflicts are arising as a result of the growing complexity of clinical care, coupled with technological advances. Most studies that have developed instruments for measuring ethical conflict base their measures on the variables 'frequency' and 'degree of conflict'. In our view, however, these variables are insufficient for explaining the root of ethical conflicts. Consequentl...

The coat proteins of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCV) spontaneously self-assemble in vitro, but, in vivo, their self-assembly must be regulated. To determine whether phosphorylation might influence coat formation in the cell, the in vivo phosphorylation state of CCV coat proteins was analyzed. Individual components of the CCV coat were isolated by immunoprecipitation from Madin-Darby bovine kidne...

Both dictionary-based and rule-based methods on grapheme-to-phoneme conversion have their own advantages and limitations. For example, a large sized phonetic dictionary and complex morphophonemic rules are required for the dictionary-based method and the LTS(letter to sound) rule-based method itself cannot model the complete morphophonemic constraints. This paper describes a grapheme-to-phoneme...
