| [fast spin echo imaging of vertebral metastasis: comparison of fat suppression techniques (fse-chess, stir-fse)]. | to investigate the capabilities of fast spin echo (fse) sequences in diagnosing spinal metastases and to compare two fat-suppression techniques: chess (chemical shift selective saturation) and stir (short t1 inversion recovery). fat suppression is recommended with fse sequences because on them, different from conventional spin echo (se) sequences, fat has high signal intensity in both t1 and t2 weighting, masking such high-signal bone lesions as metastases. | 1996 | 8975299 |
| fraud worries insurance companies but should concern physicians too, industry says. | the amount of insurance fraud is increasing in canada. this should worry physicians, because all personal-injury claims must be substantiated by a medical certificate. the vast majority of physicians are honest and ethical, fraud investigators say, but some are being duped as patients scheme to cheat the insurance industry. in one sensational auto-insurance-fraud case, some ontario physicians are being investigated about possible involvement in a self-referral scheme. nicole baer looks at insura ... | 1997 | 9012734 |

| [visual evoked potentials in infants in health and hypoplasia of the optic nerve]. | visual evoked potentials (vep) in response to chess field reversion were studied in 29 infants aged from 6 weeks to 1.5 years with optic nerve hypoplasia and in healthy age-matched controls. analysis of vep in healthy children showed that the interval between weeks 6-9 and 16-20 of life was the period of their most rapid maturation, this making this period in the development of the optic system of man particularly significant. three types of vep disorders were detected in patients with optic ner ... | 1996 | 9148558 |
| [early exercise test in patients with myocardial infarction after nifedipine administration of prolonged duration]. | in 25 patients with transmural myocardial infarction a mean of 16 days after the onset of infarction an exercise stress test was performed 2 hours after the administration of corinfar retard. we evaluated ecg, blood pressure, heart rate, echocardiograms and spirographic parameters before and after drug administration. in the majority of patients st segment depressions were reduced and duration of the exercise test increased or remained unchanged. in 5 patients the magnitude of st segment depress ... | 1996 | 9156912 |
| [evoked potentials in parkinsonism]. | evoked potentials (ep) were analysed in patients with idiopathic form of parkinson's disease (pd) in terms of three modalities: visual ep of chess pattern, acoustic ep of brain stem and somato-sensory ep during stimulation of median and tibial nerves. the data were compared with clinical characteristics. the conclusion was drawn about evident participation of afferent systems in pd development which is apparently secondary. | 1997 | 9214195 |
| improvement of the compliance with blood glucose monitoring in young insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients by the sensorlink system. | recently, medisense has introduced the sensorlink system as a tool for retrieving the 125 last results of home blood glucose monitoring stored in patient's pen 2 or companion 2, unknown to them. therefore we decided to check the compliance of type i diabetic adolescents and young adults with home blood glucose monitoring (hbgm) by comparing the blood glucose values noted in their log book and those retrieved by the sensorlink and to evaluate an eventual subsequent effect both on compliance and g ... | 1997 | 9229191 |
| evolution's 'missing link': a hypothesis upon neural plasticity, prefrontal working memory and the origins of modern cognition. | many activities such as reading, mathematics and chess depend upon cognitive processes which arose after our evolution. why could they arise if not evolved? i argue four things fortuitously came together to make our nonevolved cognitive skills possible: (i) neural plasticity; (ii) large functionally uncommitted prefrontal, temporal and parietal cerebral cortices; (iii) the ability of their neural circuits (due to neural plasticity), if trained, to take on novel symbolic and nonsymbolic skills; a ... | 1997 | 9247893 |
| improved water and lipid suppression for 3d press csi using rf band selective inversion with gradient dephasing (basing). | a t1 insensitive solvent suppression technique-band selective inversion with gradient dephasing (basing)-was developed to suppress water and lipids for 1h magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs). basing, which consists of a frequency selective rf inversion pulse surrounded by spoiler gradient pulses of opposite signs, was used to dephase stopband resonances and minimally impact passband metabolites. passband phase linearity was achieved with a dual basing scheme. using the shinnar-le roux algorith ... | 1997 | 9256113 |
| antigen retrieval techniques in immunohistochemistry: comparison of different methods. | routine sections of normal and pathological samples fixed in 10 per cent buffered formalin or b5, including edta-decalcified bone-marrow biopsies, were tested with 61 antibodies following heating in three different fluids: 0.01 m citrate buffer (ph 6.0), 0.1 m tris-hcl (ph 8.0), and 1 mm edta-naoh solution (ph 8.0). the sections underwent either three cycles of microwave treatment (5 min each) or pressure cooking for 1-2 min. the alkaline phosphatase/anti-alkaline phosphatase (apaap) technique w ... | 1997 | 9370957 |
| a path model of whitewater boating satisfaction on the cheat river of west virginia | / recreation satisfaction is a complex psychological construct that is difficult to define and measure. recent approaches suggest that overall satisfaction may be a function of multiple satisfactions derived from specific elements of a recreation experience such as the situational characteristics of a recreation setting or activity and the recreationist's subjective evaluations of the experience. in this paper, a path model of whitewater boating satisfaction was tested using data from a survey o ... | 1998 | 9419289 |
| cleaning symbiosis as an evolutionary game: to cheat or not to cheat? | cleaning symbiosis is an apparently mutualistic relationship, occurring in diverse taxa, in which cleaners remove ectoparasites from the body of their clients. here its evolution is explored with a simple game theory model in which both participants play against each other using either honest or cheating strategies. honest clients pose for cleaners and have their ectoparasites removed, cheating clients eat the cleaners. honest cleaners eat their clients' ectoparasites, cheating cleaners feed mai ... | 1995 | 9441815 |
| consequences of hyper-aggressiveness in siamese fighting fish: cheaters seldom prospered | zahavi's handicap theory, formalized by grafen, suggests that 'cheaters' must be at a disadvantage if a communication system such as ritualized aggression is to evolve (grafen 1991, in: behavioural ecology: an evolutionary approach (ed. by j. r. krebs & n. b. davies), pp. 5-31. oxford: blackwell scientific). to determine whether cheating is disadvantageous in betta splendens, we held a series of live interactions, after inducing hyper-aggression by socially isolating and then briefly 'priming' t ... | 1998 | 9480675 |
| analysis of outcome after thermotherapy using different classifications of bladder outlet obstruction. | the urodynamic profiles of 97 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia undergoing low-energy transurethral microwave thermotherapy (tumt) for lower urinary tract symptoms were analysed using the abrams/griffiths nomogram, the urethral resistance algorithm, the linpurr, schäfer nomogram, and the chess classification. a significant clinical response was seen for the whole group, as shown by changes in symptom score, free flow rate, and residual urine. the best symptomatic response was identified ... | 1998 | 9514143 |
| apperception and imagery in blindfold chess. | apperception constructs functional and "meaningful" mental representations. these representations are often built on mental images. hence it is rational to assume that the contents of some parts of images may be functionally more important than others. this means that the cognitive processing of some parts of the image is more effective than for others. to extract this preferential structure, which we call the functional figure in mental images, five experiments were conducted on blindfold chess ... | 1998 | 9640433 |
| expert memory: a comparison of four theories. | this paper compares four current theories of expertise with respect to chess players' memory: chase and simon's chunking theory, holding's seek theory, ericsson and kintsch's long-term working memory theory, and gobet and simon's template theory (chase, w.g., simon, h.a., 1973a. perception in chess. cognitive psychology 4, 55-81; holding, d.h., 1985. the psychology of chess skill. erlbaum, hillsdale, nj; ericsson, k.a., kintsch, w., 1995. long-term working memory. psychological review 102, 211-2 ... | 1998 | 9677761 |
| automation in urodynamics. | the information concerning bladder function during voiding and the size of the outlet resistance is found in relation to detrusor pressure and urinary flow (pressure flow plot). the lowest detrusor pressure during voiding (low-pressure flank) contains information on mechanical resistance (passive urethral resistance relation, purr). the purr curve is defined using foot point (cross-section with pressure axis) and slope. an increasing foot point as well as a decrease in the slope of the purr curv ... | 1998 | 9705553 |
| expert chess memory: revisiting the chunking hypothesis. | after reviewing the relevant theory on chess expertise, this paper re-examines experimentally the finding of chase and simon (1973a) that the differences in ability of chess players at different skill levels to copy and to recall positions are attributable to the experts' storage of thousands of chunks (patterned clusters of pieces) in long-term memory. despite important differences in the experimental apparatus, the data of the present experiments regarding latencies and chess relations between ... | 1998 | 9709441 |

| chess games: a model for rna based computation. | here we develop the theory of rna computing and a method for solving the 'knight problem' as an instance of a satisfiability (sat) problem. using only biological molecules and enzymes as tools, we developed an algorithm for solving the knight problem (3 x 3 chess board) using a 10-bit combinatorial pool and sequential rnase h digestions. the results of preliminary experiments presented here reveal that the protocol recovers far more correct solutions than expected at random, but the persistence ... | 1999 | 10636028 |
| clinical application of basing and spectral/spatial water and lipid suppression pulses for prostate cancer staging and localization by in vivo 3d 1h magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging. | in previous in situ point-resolved spectroscopy (press) three-dimensional (3d) 1h magnetic resonance (mr) spectroscopic imaging studies, it has been demonstrated that the ratio of prostatic metabolites can noninvasively discriminate prostate cancer from surrounding normal tissue. however, in these studies, conventional chemical shift selective suppression (chess) and short-time inversion recovery (stir) techniques often resulted in inadequate water and lipid suppression. to improve suppression a ... | 2000 | 10642727 |
| molecular computation: rna solutions to chess problems. | we have expanded the field of "dna computers" to rna and present a general approach for the solution of satisfiability problems. as an example, we consider a variant of the "knight problem," which asks generally what configurations of knights can one place on an n x n chess board such that no knight is attacking any other knight on the board. using specific ribonuclease digestion to manipulate strands of a 10-bit binary rna library, we developed a molecular algorithm and applied it to a 3 x 3 ch ... | 2000 | 10677471 |
| rapid mr imaging of cryoprotectant permeation in an engineered dermal replacement. | magnetic resonance (mr) imaging is a powerful technique for monitoring the permeation of cryoprotective agents (cpas) inside tissues. however, the techniques published until now suffer from inherently long imaging times, limiting the application of these techniques to slow diffusion processes and large cpa concentrations. in this study, we present a rapid mr imaging technique based on a chess-flash scheme combined with keyhole image acquisition. this technique can image the fast permeation of me ... | 2000 | 10679146 |
| recall or evaluation of chess positions revisited: the relationship between memory and evaluation in chess skill. | we extend work by holding and reynolds (1982) on recall and problem solving with quasirandom chess positions. we tested 17 chess players on both quasirandom and structured chess positions. consistent with the earlier study, initial recall of quasirandom chess positions is unrelated to chess skill level, and quality of the move selected in subsequent problem solving is related to skill level. however, recall following problem solving is related to chess skill level. these results support the view ... | 1999 | 10696266 |

| assessment of eating behaviours and attitudes to eating, dieting and body image in pre-adolescent swedish girls: a one-year follow-up. | a 1-y follow-up of fifty 8-y-old swedish girls was performed to assess changes in eating attitudes and dieting behaviour. individual structured interviews using the children's eating attitudes test (cheat) and body image silhouettes were used. the question, "have you ever tried to lose weight?" was employed to discriminate dieters from non-dieters. dieting behaviours according to the cheat increased over the follow-up period. | 2000 | 10976846 |
| experiences of women with breast cancer: exchanging social support over the chess computer network. | using an existential-phenomenological approach, this paper describes how women with breast cancer experience the giving and receiving of social support in a computer-mediated context. women viewed their experiences with the computer-mediated support group as an additional and unique source of support in facing their illness. anonymity within the support group fostered equalized participation and allowed women to communicate in ways that would have been more difficult in a face-to-face context. t ... | 2016 | 11010346 |
| some shortcomings of long-term working memory. | within the framework of their long term working memory theory, ericsson and kintsch (1995) propose that experts rapidly store information in long-term memory through two mechanisms: elaboration of long-term memory patterns and schemas and use of retrieval structures. they use chess players' memory as one of their most compelling sources of empirical evidence. in this paper, i show that evidence from chess memory, far from supporting their theory, limits its generality. evidence from other domain ... | 2000 | 11104178 |
| the psychology of social chess and the evolution of attribution mechanisms: explaining the fundamental attribution error. | theory of mind is the field devoted to understanding how organisms discern the mental states of others. because mental states are not directly observable, they can only be inferred from observable features of the actor (such as behavior) and the situational context that the actor is in. social psychologists, who study theory of mind processes under the rubric of attribution research, have shown that people often make a logical error of inference: the "fundamental attribution error" (fae) is the ... | 2001 | 11182572 |

| novice construction of chess memory. | novice acquisition of skilled recall of chess positions was studied in an experiment in which two novices studied a series of five hundred chess positions during a period of several months. they spent fifteen minutes to half an hour a day teaching themselves these positions. as a result their skill in recalling chess positions rose from sixteen percent to somewhere between forty to fifty percent. the learning curve proved to have a shape which indicates that in the beginning learning is very fas ... | 2001 | 11321637 |
| illusory words created by repetition blindness: a technique for probing sublexical representations. | when two orthographically similar words are displayed using rapid serial visual presentation (rsvp), the repeated letters in the second critical word (w2) are not detected, leading to a deficit in reporting this word, a phenomenon known as repetition blindness (rb). the unrepeated letters in w2 do appear to be detected and available to feed activation to words compatible with them (morris & harris, 1999). when a fragment was strategically placed in the rsvp stream, as in grow throw ank, observer ... | 2001 | 11340856 |

| the role of attack and defense semantics in skilled players' memory for chess positions. | there is much evidence that chess skill is based on chunks in memory that represent parts of positions from previously encountered games. however, the content of these chunks is a matter for debate. according to one view, (1) the closer two pieces are to each other on a board (proximity), the more likely they are to be in the same chunk, and (2) skilled players encode the precise locations of pieces. an alternative view is that what information is encoded in a chess chunk is determined more by p ... | 2002 | 12219888 |
