SUMMARY The European Network for Inspection and Qualification (ENIQ) is a utility driven network that works towards a harmonized European approach on reliable and effective in-service inspection (ISI). In particular, ENIQ task groups work on issues related to the qualification of ISI systems (task group on qualification, TGQ) and to risk-informed in-service inspection (RI-ISI) (task groups on r...

An understanding of the normal estrous-cycle length of the cow is important when managing and monitoring dairy-herd fertility. Although the normal interovulatory interval is widely considered to be 21 d, some studies have found alternative intervals to be more prevalent; previously, most of the variation in interval length was expected to be between cows. The aim of this study was to assess the...

We analyzed the receptive field information conveyed by interspike intervals (ISIs) in the auditory cortex. In the visual system, different ISIs may both code for different visual features and convey differing amounts of stimulus information. To determine their potential role in auditory signal processing, we obtained extracellular recordings in the primary auditory cortex (AI) of the cat while...

BACKGROUND Few studies have systematically investigated insomnia in adults with epilepsy. METHODS We performed a prospective cross-sectional investigation of the prevalence, severity, and comorbidities of insomnia in 90 adults with epilepsy using a battery of self-reported instruments and polysomnography. We quantified insomnia severity using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). RESULTS Fifty...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to standardize and validate a Korean version of the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI-K), and to evaluate its clinical usefulness. METHODS We translated the ISI into Korean and then translated it back into English to check its accuracy. The 614 patients with sleep disorders who were enrolled in this study comprised 169 with primary insomnia, 1...
