the present meta-analysis was conducted to provide a quantitative measure of the overall effects of task complexity on chinese efl learners’ language production. based on the strict inclusion criteria, 12 primary studies were synthesized according to key features. eleven of them were meta-analyzed to investigate effects of raising the resource-directing task complexity. results revealed that ...

We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the clinical accuracy of an image-guided frameless intracranial radiosurgery system. All links in the process chain were tested. Using healthy volunteers, we evaluated a novel method to prospectively quantify the range of target motion for optimal determination of the planning target volume (PTV) margin. The overall system isocentric accuracy was teste...

to evaluate the capability of irs-p6 liss-iii data to be employed for monitoring the pollarding forest areas in northern zagros, some parts of pollarded forests located around baneh city were selected as a case study area. the pollarding area was determined as the ground truth in a 3-year alternation period using a global positioning system (gps). radiometric and geometric corrections were appl...

BACKGROUND The objective of this report is to combine the data from an earlier adult study with the data from a paediatric study in order to determine the overall accuracy of the BpTRU (BPM-100 model) as compared to the recognized standard, auscultatory mercury sphygmomanometer. DESIGN The individual blood pressure points recorded for both adult and paediatric studies were compared directly t...

Background and Objective: Intraoperative consultation by frozen section is a high – risk procedure with important consequences. Therefore, it is critical to determine efficiency of frozen section performance periodically. This study was performed to determine the accuracy of frozen section in Urmia University of Medical Sciences. Materials & Methods:Inthis cross sectional study, we compared th...

classifying remote sensing imageries to obtain reliable and accurate landuse/cover (luc) information still remains a challenge that depends on many factors suchas complexity of landscape especially in arid region. the aim of this paper is to extractreliable luc information from land sat imageries of the pishkouh watershed of centralarid region, iran. the classical maximum likelihood classifier ...
