The growing popularity of computer and network technologies has attracted researchers to investigate the strategies and the effects of information technology applied instructions. Previous research has not only demonstrated the benefits of applying information technologies to the learning process, but has also revealed the difficulty of applying them effectively. One of the major difficulties i...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to develop and test a new tool for radiographic densitometry by combining periapical films and aluminum step wedge. materials and methods: we reviewed 50 kodak e-speed intraoral films. an aluminum step wedge consisting of 16 steps was constructed. each step was 1mmx3mx10mm. the step wedge was exposed to varying exposure times, ranging from 0.05 second t...

C i t I The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) Technology Committee provides reviews of new or emerging endoscopic technologies that have the potential to have an impact on the practice of GI endoscopy. Evidence-based methodology is used, with a MEDLINE literature search to identify pertinent preclinical and clinical studies on the topic, and a MAUDE (Manufacturer and User F...

The aim of this study was to reveal hotspots and frontiers computer-assisted English learning (CAEL) studies indexed by EI Compendex database from 2001 2020 via bibliometric analysis. publication output has exponentially grown in the past two decades is likely progress next several years. China occupied leading position， while Lecture Notes Computer Science most prolific journal, Deyi Xiong pro...

The Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) paradigm tries to integrate human expertise into the automatic translation process. In this paradigm, a human translator interacts with a translation system that dynamically offers a list of translations that best completes the part of the sentence that is being translated. This human-machine sinergy aims at a double goal, to increase translator productiv...

background: public interest in assisted reproductive technology (art) has remained high since the birth of the world’s first in vitro fertilization baby, louise brown, in the united kingdom. art allows scientists to manipulate the fertilization process in order to bypass some pathological obstacles such as blocked fallopian tubes and non-functioning ovaries in the females, and blocked vas defer...

background: human fertility has been declined all over the world. advanced women’s age is one of the most important factors in determining the success of reproduction and ageing has negative impact on art outcome and advanced female age decreases the chance of live birth rates achieved using art, especially after 40 years of age. objective: to evaluate art outcomes regarding to pregnancy, abort...

BACKGROUND Despite advances in medical, surgical, and radiation oncology, deep-seated bone sarcomas that require large osseous resections continue to present resection and reconstructive challenges to musculoskeletal surgeons. METHODS We describe our experience with computer navigation techniques combined with complex pelvic resections and limb-preserving surgeries. RESULTS Computer-assiste...
