Pre-term birth is strongly associated with subsequent neuropsychiatric impairment. To identify structural differences in preterm infants we have examined a dataset of magnetic resonance (MR) images containing 88 preterm infants and 19 term born controls. We have analyzed these images by combining image registration, deformation based morphometry (DBM), multivariate statistics, and effect size m...

BACKGROUND Organizational context has the potential to influence the use of new knowledge. However, despite advances in understanding the theoretical base of organizational context, its measurement has not been adequately addressed, limiting our ability to quantify and assess context in healthcare settings and thus, advance development of contextual interventions to improve patient care. We dev...

We define a notion of type assignment with polymorphic intersection types of rank 2 for a term graph rewriting language that expresses sharing and cycles. We show that type assignment is decidable through defining, using the extended notion of unification from [5], a notion of principal pair which generalizes ml’s principal type property.
