vascular lesions rise from abnormalities in blood vessels or endothelial proliferation . capillary hemangiomas are formed by small capillaries surrounded by a layer of endothelial cells in a connective tissue stroma . various treatments are used for these conditions like excisional surgery , sclerotherapy, and recently laser irradiation. in this case study, we report successful treatment of int...

The production of sign language involves two large articulators (the hands) moving through space and contacting the body. In contrast, speech production requires small movements of the tongue and vocal tract with no observable spatial contrasts. Nonetheless, both language types exhibit a sublexical layer of structure with similar properties (e.g., segments, syllables, feature hierarchies). To i...

Activation of the left midfusiform gyrus in response to reading words and pseudowords is such a reliable finding in functional imaging that this region has been called "the visual word form area" (VWFA). However, this label has recently been challenged, because activation in VWFA is also observed in other lexical tasks. We evaluated whether VWFA is necessary, sufficient, or specialized for read...

Following instructions is an important component of learning and has been shown to rely on working memory. This study examined the ability to follow instructions within working memory under varying input and output modalities. In Experiment 1, participants heard, read, or viewed demonstration of short sequences of instructions, and recalled either by oral repetition or physical enactment. There...

In list learning paradigms with free recall, written recall has been found to be less susceptible to intrusions of related concepts than spoken recall when the list items had been visually presented. This effect has been ascribed to the use of stored orthographic representations from the study phase during written recall (Kellogg, 2001). In other memory retrieval paradigms, by contrast, either ...

Kidney transplantation is a definite treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, management of allograft dysfunction has remained major challenge and some patients return to dialysis after transplantation. Studies showed that peritoneal (PD) results in higher chance survival lower risk delayed compared hemodialysis (HD). For this reason, study explored the initiation PD six with Tabr...

Work started by addressing the first part of the research agenda of modality theory, i.e. the development of a taxonomy of output modalities in the media of graphics, sound and touch. A (representational) modality is a way of representing information. It was realised from early on that work might benefit from the support of a software tool in which we could represent large numbers of samples of...

Recent debate regarding dual-task performance has focused on whether costs result from limitations in central capacity, and whether central operations can be performed in parallel. While these questions are controversial, the dominant models of dual-task performance share the assumption that central operations are generic--that is, their interactions are independent of stimulus and response mod...

Documents in scientific newspapers are often marked by attitudes and opinions of the author and/or other persons, who contribute with objective and subjective statements and arguments as well. In this respect, the attitude is often accomplished by a linguistic modality. As in languages like english, french and german, the modality is expressed by special verbs like can, must, may, etc. and the ...

In this paper, we propose a multimodal unsupervised video learning algorithm designed to incorporate information from any number of modalities present in the data. We cooperatively train network corresponding each modality: at stage training, one these networks is selected be trained using output other networks. To verify our algorithm, model RGB, optical flow, and audio. then evaluate effectiv...
