Thematic structure is an important concept in organizing ideas academic writing. Although numerous studies have focused on investigating how it realized students' writing, only a few focus thematic text across different proficiency levels. This article based study analyzing idea organization and development 24 high low-scoring essays through Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). It was qualita...

background:  this study tested the null hypothesis that nonoperatively treated patients would not show disease progression of carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) over time according to median nerve distal motor latency (dml) on two electrodiagnostic tests.   methods:  this retrospective study analyzed sixty-two adult nonoperatively treated patients who were diagnosed with cts confirmed by a minimum of...

exosomes, as a mediator of cell-to-cell transfer of genetic information, act an important role in intercommunication between tumor cells and their niche including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, adipocytes and monocytes. several studies have shown that tumor cells can influence their neighboring cells by releasing exosomes. these exosomes provide signaling cues for stimulation, activation, prol...

We present SexTant, a Web-based system for the visualization and exploration of time-evolving linked geospatial data and the creation, sharing, and collaborative editing of “temporally-enriched” thematic maps which are produced by combining different sources of such data.

In this paper, fuzzy-based multisensor data fusion is studied and an iterative fuzzy classifier is proposed. Obtained results are given as a set of two maps: a thematic map, and a confidence map (a classification certainty map representing the degree of certainty in the thematic map). The application of this classifier using ERS-1/JERS-1 SAR composites is shown to very promising.

This study presents a method used for predicting the air temperature distribution in an urbanized area from the surface temperature of trees. A strong trend of urbanization can be observed whole over the world (United Nations Centre for Human Settlement, 1996). It is well known and documented that urbanization can have significant effects on local weather and climate (Landsberg, 1981). One of t...

In this paper we examine the visualisation of multiple variables in thematic maps by using the third dimension. Three cases illustrate the potentials and limitations for three-dimensional visualisations of multivariate datasets. After examining these examples, we reflect what should be considered carefully when creating this kind of maps. Maps making use of the third dimension can help to visua...
