This study used some of the data from the BBC Internet study to assess the universality of sex related spatial competencies, as these are described in the terms of Silverman and Eals' (1992) hunter-gatherer theory of human spatial sex differences. As predicted, men scored significantly higher than women on a test of three-dimensional mental rotations in all seven ethnic groups and 40 countries ...

There is an increasing demand to certify the security of systems according to the Common Criteria (CC). The CC distinguish several evaluation assurance levels (EALs), level EAL7 being the highest and requiring the application of formal techniques. We present a method for requirements engineering and (semi-formal and formal) modeling of systems to be certified according to the higher evaluation ...

Early adverse life events (EALs) increase susceptibility to depression and impair cognitive performance, but the physiological mechanisms are still unclear. The target of this article is clarify impact childhood experiences on emotional performance from perspective heart–brain axis. We used Repeatable Battery for Assessment Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) test function Childhood Trauma Questi...

The present study investigates the characteristics of elevated aerosol layer (EAL) using high spatio-temporal Boundary Layer Lidar observations over Manora Peak (29.4° N; 79.2° E; 1958m above mean sea level), Nainital located in Himalayan region. We have chosen four EAL cases on June 17, 2006 (C1); December 12, 2007 (C2); February 06 (C3) and May 07, 2008 (C4) observational site. occurrence is ...

AIM The current clinical practice of endodontics involves utilization of a variety of new technological advances and materials. Technologies available for use in endodontic offices today include battery or electric motors using NiTi rotary file systems, new generation of electronic apex locators (EALs), improved digital radiographic sensors, surgical microscopes, and ultrasonic units. The aim o...

Based on Silverman and Eals’ hunter-gatherer theory of the origin of sex-specific spatial attributes, the present research sought to identify the evolved mechanisms involved in hunting that contribute to the dimorphism. The focus of these studies was the relationship between three-dimensional mental rotations, the spatial test showing the largest and most reliable sex difference favoring males,...

Original Word Image Rule Based Segmentation Character Resizing Recognition of Character using an ANN (trained with EALTS-BT) Lexicon Analyser Input Feature Extraction Output In this paper we incorporate a hybrid evolutionary method, which uses a combination of genetic algorithm and matrix based solution method such as QR factorization. A heuristic segmentation algorithm is initially used to ove...

OBJECTIVES Correct determination of working length is an important step for success of endodontic therapy. Conventional radiography has limitations in providing the accurate location of apical foramen. For this reason, electronic apex locators (EALs) were developed to shorten the treatment time and decrease the radiation dose. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of Root ZX EAL fo...
