OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To investigate the clinical significance of middle turbinate lateralization (MTL) occurrence postendoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis, namely, association with postoperative symptoms and eventual need for undergoing revision surgery. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review of consecutive postoperative follow-up appointments (November 2009-May 2011) f...

Decoding models based on pattern recognition (PR) are becoming increasingly important tools for neuroimaging data analysis. In contrast to alternative (mass-univariate) encoding approaches that use hierarchical models to capture inter-subject variability, inter-subject differences are not typically handled efficiently in PR. In this work, we propose to overcome this problem by recasting the dec...

The study of perfect, local and bipartite IMTL-algebras presented in [29] is generalized in this paper to the general non-involutive case, i. e. to MTL-algebras. To this end we describe the radical of MTL-algebras and characterize perfect MTL-algebras as those for which the quotient by the radical is isomorphic to the two-element Boolean algebra, and a special class of bipartite MTL-algebras, B...

INTRODUCTION Recently, an anatomically shaped helmet coil consisting of four curved microstrip transmission-line (MTL) elements was introduced (1). The MTL elements were combined either as a circularly polarized (CP) transmit/receive (Tx/Rx) coil (Type A) or as a CP transmit, four-channel receive array (Type B). Both types provided an almost perfect circular polarization in the central region a...

Abstract. This study tests the relationships between grandiose narcissism and affective, calculative, social-normative motivation to lead (MTL), avoidance lead, vulnerable affective MTL lead. Further, we assess moderating effect of narcissistic organizational identification (NOI). As expected, correlated positively with three dimensions MTL, though relationship disappeared when controlling for ...

Recently, verification and analysis of data words have gained a lot of interest. Metric temporal logic (MTL) and timed propositional temporal logic (TPTL) are two extensions of Linear time temporal logic (LTL). In MTL, the temporal operator are indexed by a constraint interval. TPTL is a more powerful logic that is equipped with a freeze formalism. It uses register variables, which can be set t...

Although it is widely accepted that the medial temporal lobes (MTLs) are critical for becoming aware that something happened in the past, there is virtually no evidence whether MTL sensitivity to event oldness also depends on conscious awareness. Using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, we show that activity in posterior MTL tracks whether an item is actually old (true oldness...

Accumulating evidence suggests a role for the medial temporal lobe (MTL) in working memory (WM). However, little is known concerning its functional interactions with other cortical regions in the distributed neural network subserving WM. To reveal these, we availed of subjects with MTL damage and characterized changes in effective connectivity while subjects engaged in WM task. Specifically, we...

Model transformations are the core of the MDA approach to software development. As specified by the OMG, model transformations should act on any kind of model of any kind of metamodel, which implies the possible “reflective” use of model transformations, i.e., model transformations acting on model transformations. However, this requires transformation developers to be familiar with the metamode...
