This article performs a sensitivity analyses of the synthetic T2 chart using fractional factorial design, which integrates the interaction effects. We are interested in the effects of the input parameters on the optimal cost, chart's parameters, and average run lengths....

Objective: To assess the ability of neurophysiologic markers in conjunction with cognitive assessment to improve prediction of progression to dementia in Parkinson disease (PD). Methods: Baseline cognitive assessments and magnetoencephalographic recordings from 63 prosp...

In this paper, we propose a scenario framework that could provide a scenario " thread" through the different climate research communities (climate change - vulnerability, impact, and adaptation - and mitigation) in order to support assessment of mitigation and adaptatio...

Impairments of memory are commonly reported by people with traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Such deficits are persistent, debilitating, and can severely impact quality of life. Currently, many do not routinely receive follow-up appointments for residual memory problems f...

Context: Formulation is considered a core skill for clinical psychologists (Division of Clinical Psychology, 2011) and is a central component in most therapeutic approaches. There is no universally agreed definition of formulation, and the purpose and use varies dependi...

AbstractDespite outstanding accomplishments in catalyst discovery, finding new, more efficient, environmentally neutral, and noble metal-free catalysts remains challenging and unsolved. Recently, complex solid solutions consisting of at least five different elements and...

AbstractRemembering an event partially reactivates cortical and subcortical brain regions that were engaged during its experience and encoding. Such reinstatement of neuronal activation has been observed in different sensory systems, including the visual, auditory, olfa...

On a journey, a backpack is a perfect place to store and organize the necessary provisions and tools. Similarly, carrying and managing items is a central part of most digital games, providing significant prospects for the player experience. Even though VR games are grad...

Although commonly used, the term memory strength is not well defined in humans. Besides durability, it has been conceptualized by retrieval characteristics, such as subjective confidence associated with retrieval, or objectively, by the amount of information accurately ...

Purpose – One of the key drivers of competitiveness and growth of emerging countries is their ability to innovate. While India has successfully implemented innovative processes for software development, many Western nations have led in new product designs. The purpose...

With the increased prevalence of ecosystems across sectors, understanding what conditions enable their formation is important for both researchers and managers. Service-dominant logic (S-D logic) focuses on service ecosystems, in which actors are interdependent, and cha...

In Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS), as in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjogren's syndrome, an increased level of interferon alpha (IFN-alpha) is involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. In SLE and Sjogren's syndrome, cytokine production originates in plas...

Granzyme B (GrB) has been implicated in induction of apoptosis in target cells. The presence of GrB in peripheral blood CD8+ T cells from healthy individuals was analysed in immunocytochemical and flow cytometric studies. Furthermore, CD8+ GrB- T cells and CD8+ GrB+ T c...
