Sweeney–Robertson–Tocher (SRT) division, as it was discovered in the late 1950s, represented an important improvement in the speed of division algorithms for computers at the time. A variant of SRT division is still commonly implemented in computers today. Although some bounds on the performance of the original SRT division method were obtained, a great many questions remained unanswered. In th...

Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is a new approach to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The INTREPID trial suggested that SRT could reduce the frequency of regular intravitreal injections (IVIs) with antivascular endothelial growth factor drugs, which are necessary to control disease activity. However, the efficacy of SRT in nAMD and resulting morphological changes have ...

Over the last 20 years researchers have used the serial reaction time (SRT) task to investigate the nature of spatial sequence learning. They have used the task to identify the locus of spatial sequence learning, identify situations that enhance and those that impair learning, and identify the important cognitive processes that facilitate this type of learning. Although controversies remain, th...

A central question in Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is whether the core phenotype is limited to transcoding (planning/programming) deficits or if speakers with CAS also have deficits in auditory-perceptual encoding (representational) and/or memory (storage and retrieval of representations) processes. We addressed this and other questions using responses to the Syllable Repetition Task (SRT)...

CONTEXT Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive neoplasm, with controversy regarding treatment in elderly patients. OBJECTIVE To review outcomes of elderly patients aged ≥ 65 with newly diagnosed GBM treated with concurrent temozolomide and either standard-course radiotherapy (SRT) or abbreviated-course radiotherapy (ART). DESIGN Retrospective review from 2003 to 2012. MAIN OUTCOME...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of low-energy stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) combined with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment following a treat-and-extend regimen (TER) in wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). PATIENTS AND METHODS Before/after SRT, the authors compared retrospective consecutive case series of 50 patients requiring...

 Abstract  Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is being used by some clinicians to treat eating disorders. Although there is anecdotal and case study data supporting its use, there are no controlled studies examining its effectiveness with this population. This study examined the short and long-term effects of EMDR in a residential eating disorders population. A rando...

The quotient digit selection in the SRT division algorithm is based on a few most significant bits of the remainder and divisor, where the remainder is usually represented in a redundant representation. The number of leading bits needed depends on the quotient radix and digit set, and is usually found by an extensive search, to assure that the next quotient digit can be chosen as valid for all ...

A Danish speech intelligibility test for assessing the speech recognition threshold in noise (SRT(N)) has been developed. The test consists of 180 sentences distributed in 18 phonetically balanced lists. The sentences are based on an open word-set and represent everyday language. The sentences were equalized with respect to intelligibility to ensure uniform SRT(N) assessments with all lists. In...

This paper addresses a fast low-power implementation of a shared division and square-root architecture. Two approaches are considered in this paper; these include the SRT (Sweeney, Robertson and Tocher) approach which does not require prescaling and the GST (generalized Svoboda and Tung) approach which requires prescaling of the operands. This paper makes two important contributions. Although S...
