OBJECTIVE This study describes characteristics of psychiatry inpatients with developmental disabilities (DD) and their admissions to psychiatry wards in 2 acute care hospitals. It also compares differences in lengths of stay between admissions of this group with a comparison sample of inpatient admissions without DD. METHOD A retrospective chart review was conducted on all individuals with DD...

Abstract We propose an extended one-shot decorrelating detector (EOS-DD) for asynchronous DS/CDMA systems in frequency selective fading environments. The EOS-DD extends a processing window to several symbol duration. The received signal over an extended window is utilized for the decorrelator in the EOS-DD. The effects of the window size on BER performance are investigated by numerical analysis...

We accelerate a double precision sparse matrix and DD vector multiplication (DD-SpMV), and its transposition and DD vector multiplication (DD-TSpMV) by using SIMD AVX2 for Krylov subspace methods. We compare some storage formats of DD-SpMV and DDTSpMV for AVX2 to eliminate performance degradation factors in CRS. Our experience indicates that BCRS4x1, with fitting block size to the SIMD register...

The ability to regulate protein levels in live cells is crucial to understanding protein function. In the interest of advancing the tool set for protein perturbation, we developed a protein destabilizing domain (DD) that can confer its instability to a fused protein of interest. This destabilization and consequent degradation can be rescued in a reversible and dose-dependent manner with the add...

PURPOSE Dupuytren disease (DD) is a benign fibrosing disorder of the hand and fingers. Recently, we identified 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with DD in a genome-wide association study. These SNPs can be used to calculate a genetic risk score for DD. The aim of this study was to test whether certain clinical characteristics (including the DD diathesis features) of patients ...

Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is a learning disability that is characterized by severe difficulties with acquiring age-appropriate mathematical skills that cannot be attributed to insufficient education, language skills, or motivation. The prevalence rate is estimated at 3-6%, meaning that a substantial portion of the population struggles to learn mathematics to such a large degree that it aff...

In this paper, decision{feedback diierential detection (DF{DD) of M{ary diierential phase{shift keying (MDPSK) signals, which has been introduced previously for the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel by Leib et al. 1] and Edbauer 2], is extended to at Rayleigh fading channels. The corresponding DF{DD metric is derived from the multiple{symbol detection (MSD) metric and for genie{aided...
