| cluster analysis of childhood temperament data on adoptees. | cluster analysis is used with behavioral data on 162 adoptees to assess temperament and to test the validity of the temperament typologies described by thomas and chess. data are divided into two groups by sex. results concur with the thomas-chess findings in identifying three main temperament groups: difficult, easy, and slow to warm up. membership in the difficult group predicted later childhood behavior disorder in both sexes. differing environmental factors associated with difficulty for mal ... | 1980 | 7406035 |
| foreign body aspiration of grass inflorescences as a cause of hemoptysis. | although the sparsity of reports in the literature suggest aspiration of grass inflorescence is rare, in certain areas of the southern united states, aspiration of this type of foreign body is not so uncommon. four cases of aspiration of hordeum pusillium, often referred to as "cheat grass" are reported: three of the four patients had hemoptysis. the highest incidence of inhaled foreign bodies usually occur in young children, but all our four patients were older children or adolescents. the clin ... | 1980 | 7398419 |

| visual short-term memory and aging in chess players. | young (m = 20 years) and older (m = 54 years) equally skilled chessplayers reconstructed slides of chess diagrams shown for 1, 2, and 4 sec either immediately or following 15 sec of interpolated processing. recall was more accurate for younger players, with the gap widening as viewing time increased. interpolated processing decreased accuracy and increased retrieval time equally in the two groups. measures of chunking indicated no age-related differences. these results imply that there is an age ... | 1981 | 7264247 |
| search heuristics of chess players of different calibers. | information-processing models of chess-playing ability have distinguished between players of different calibers solely in terms of perceptual encoding and recognition of chess configurations. a reanalysis of degroot's verbal protocols of 1965 indicates that players of different calibers direct their attention toward different areas of the board. grandmasters and masters consider squares that are affected by many pieces, while lesser players direct their attention toward squares on which the piec ... | 1982 | 7180947 |
| [effect of parameters of spatio-structural stimuli on evoked potentials of the visual and posterior associative regions of the cortex in man]. | in subjects with normal vision, differences have been detected in the reactions of the main components (p100, n150, p200) of evoked potentials recorded in the oz and tpo leads, to homogeneous stimuli, chess fields with different sizes of cells and grids differing in area and the number of orientation stripes. the data obtained are discussed in the light of v.d. glezer's hypothesis on specialized information processing in the visual and posterior associative cortical areas and concepts on the exi ... | 1982 | 7164577 |
| [maturation of evoked potentials to patterned stimuli, and sensitivity of the visual system to deprivation]. | a study was made of age peculiarities of eps to spatially structurized stimuli in the shape of chess fields with different dimensions of their cells in children and juveniles with normal vision, aged from seven to seventeen. heterochroneity has been established in maturation of eps to a homogeneous and a spatially structurized stimuli. in accordance with the criterion of "maturity" of the ep to a spatially structurized stimulus, an enhanced probability of "mature" eps appearance was observed wit ... | 1982 | 7158033 |

| darwinian evolution in games with perfect information. | we consider a model of darwinian evolution in games with perfect information like chess or checkers. the evolution is viewed as a sequence of strategies, each of which wins over its immediate predecessor. we argue that the intelligence level of strategies need not necessarily increase during this type of evolution. | 1987 | 3828402 |
| the impact of temperament in a school setting: an epidemiological study. | the authors present the results of an epidemiological study on a large non-clinical population-based sample of french speaking seven year-old children (n = 596) whose aim was to verify if a relation exists between temperament and outward-type or inward-type behavior problems in school. the thomas and chess' parent temperament questionnaire, filled out twice by the parents over a four-week interval, was used to determine temperament. the conners teacher questionnaire, filled out twice by the teac ... | 1986 | 3756750 |
| multipurpose nmr imaging using stimulated echoes. | steam (stimulated-echo acquisition mode) imaging techniques recently introduced by the authors are demonstrated to provide a versatile tool for improving the parametric specificity in nmr imaging. stimulated echoes can be excited by a sequence of at least three rf pulses with flip angles of 90 degrees or less. the main characteristics of the steam method are based on the great functional flexibility of an imaging sequence comprising three rf pulses unequal to 180 degrees and three intervals prio ... | 1986 | 3747817 |

| cartilage disorders: comparison of spin-echo, chess, and flash sequence mr images. | magnetic resonance (mr) imaging is known to be a suitable modality for the visualization of the hyaline cartilage and the fibrocartilage joint structures. to compare standard spin-echo (se) images with water images obtained with the chemical shift selective (chess) sequence and with the fast low angle shot (flash) sequence, examinations were performed with all three sequences in eight volunteers and 28 patients with inflammatory degenerative and traumatic alterations of the knee, hip, and sacroi ... | 1987 | 3615875 |
| a model for emmetropization: predicting the progression of ametropia. | the response of a second-order feedback system is used to describe the controlling process that regulates the refraction of the human eye to achieve optimal visual acuity over the years (emmetropization). from data collected in past refractions, the equation of the feedback system has been derived for individual eyes and used to predict changes in their refraction with age with an accuracy of 0.50 diopters for 89.1% of the eyes tested. if the model is applied to other populations, the root mean ... | 1987 | 3614846 |
| gradient reversal technique and its applications to chemical-shift-related nmr imaging. | the chemical-shift effect often degrades slice selectivity thereby degrading the contrast and spatial resolutions in a high-field nmr imaging. we propose a new pulse sequence which can compensate for this chemical-shift effect during slice selection. this technique provides correct slice definition as well as clear separation between water and lipid protons in high-field proton nmr imaging. particular applications of this technique are 2d imaging with a thin-slice selection and chunk 3d imaging, ... | 1987 | 3613953 |

| [various characteristics of gene localization in eukaryotic chromosomes. formulation of a problem and analysis of non-random localization of mating type loci in fungi]. | we have denoted two possible models of gene order evolution as the "card" and "chess" models. the first suggests random shuffling of genes during evolution, the second--non-random gene transposition, gene order being checked by natural selection. we discuss here localization of the mating type locus in fungal genomes. in 8 of 10 genetically well studied species of ascomycetous fungi, the mating type locus is linked to a centromere; in one species, it segregates regularly during the second meioti ... | 2012 | 3542707 |
| terminal distributions along a 'knight's line' for a stochastic epidemic. | the model under consideration relates to the spread of a disease in a finite population where removal of infectives is allowed to occur. it is equivalent to a restricted random walk over a discrete grid of points interior to a trapezium. we consider an artificial barrier on the grid at which the epidemic ceases. the barrier is a semi-diagonal resembling the path of the knight in chess and allows some simplification of the analysis. in particular, we investigate the probability distribution along ... | 1987 | 3503088 |

| the role of theories of cognitive aging: comment on salthouse. | cognitive models of aging ought, minimally, to simulate age effects for a broad range of tasks, and their underlying assumptions ought to be constrained by existing data on cognitive mechanisms. salthouse's model (and other parallel distributed-processing network models) meets the first criterion better than it meets the second. another weakness is in its inability to account for goal-directed behavior. thus, models like that of salthouse seem best suited to the description of automatic informat ... | 1988 | 3268238 |
| [doppler and valvular prostheses]. | the principle of examination of prosthetic valves is not different from that of the original valves in terms of bioprosthesis. on the contrary, mechanical prosthesis are markedly opaque to ultrasounds and cause masking and non-flow phenomena behind the prosthesis, which are capable to completely hide abnormal retrograde flows, in traditional views (apical 4 cavities to demonstrate a mitral leakage). therefore, with mechanical prostheses, it is necessary to "cheat" and use atypical views which av ... | 2011 | 3223725 |
| a comparison of selective saturation and selective echo chemical shift imaging techniques. | we report on a comparative study of two methods of chemical shift imaging which can be used to selectively image fat and water in vivo. both methods require a b0 field sufficiently homogenous to resolve the methylene and water spectral lines. one method, called chess, uses a chemically selective pulse to saturate the unwanted spectral line. the other method, called secsi, achieves chemical selectivity by using a soft 180 degree rf pulse in forming a spin echo image. both methods require that the ... | 1988 | 3185136 |
| standardized clinical evaluation of depressive and anxious symptomatology. | the main standardized instruments for clinical assessment of depression and anxiety are diagnostic criteria, rating scales, and mental tests, mainly questionnaires. the systematic use of rigorous diagnostic criteria is useful in recruiting sufficiently homogeneous patient groups for clinical research. the polydiagnostic system represents, in this perspective, a stimulating trend of research, as it is not linked to a sole nosographic reference system. some rating scales have recently been develop ... | 1988 | 3180118 |
| trends in temperament research. | the paper focuses on current concepts of temperament that has led to different approaches within the field of temperament research. the concept of temperament has interested scholars from ancient greece until modern european and american research teams. also in soviet psychology temperament is getting attention. in finland temperament research has advanced on two different lines. there is widespread agreement that temperament is a group of related traits and not just one trait attributed to the ... | 1988 | 3067510 |

| [the use of a new plastic method for consolidating a preternatural anus as prevention in paracolostomy hernias]. | once the stage of extraperitoneal evasion of the sigmoid has been achieved for definitive preternatural anus, transsection is made of the aponeurosis of m. obliqu. ext. abdominis along its tendon fibers at a length of 5-6 cm. then an aperture is made along the muscle fibers with the same length on m. obliqu. int. abdominis and m. transversus abdominis as well and finally f. transversalis is transsected. the peritoneum is intra-abdominally detached from the fascia beneath and alongside the apertu ... | 1990 | 2204750 |
| the effects of noise on vision efficiency. | the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between intensity, noise duration and non-auditory effect represented by changes both in visual acuity and the near point of accommodation. changes in vision efficiency determined by a black and white chess board were monitored during and after 1 h exposure to 4 levels of noise: 90 db-a, 93 db-a, 96 db-a or 99 db-a and 2 h exposure to 96 db-a. results indicated that vision impairment can be attributed to a complex relationship between the i ... | 1990 | 2130868 |
| [tolerability of tianeptine in 170 patients with depression treated during one year]. | tianeptine, a new antidepressant, has a tricyclic molecular structure. its main biochemical activity consists of an increase in the reuptake of 5 ht both in men and animals, after acute and chronic administration. tianeptine demonstrated its antidepressive clinical efficacy in several double-blind versus reference drug trials. a multicentre open trial, including depressed patients enabled us to evaluate the safety of tianeptine and to control the maintenance of the therapeutic efficacy in the co ... | 2014 | 2101783 |
| cns and pns effects of nimodipine. | calcium ions play a decisive role in a large number of processes dealing with development, regeneration after damage, and aging of elements of the nervous system. nimodipine, a member of the 1,4-dihydropyridine chess of calcium-channel blockers, has proved to influence the calcium metabolism of neurons. this review focuses on the results of recent studies on the role of nimodipine in both the central and peripheral nervous system, during or after events that threaten the integrity or function of ... | 1990 | 2074438 |

| [a controlled double-blind study of tetrabamate versus lorazepam and placebo in generalized anxiety]. | the anxiolytic efficacy of tetrabamate was evaluated in a multicentric double-blind study versus lorazepam and placebo, in 269 patients with a generalized anxiety disorder according to dsm iii-r criteria. the anxiolytic activity of tetrabamate (at 900 mg/day) was significantly superior than that of placebo from day 7 of treatment and equivalent to lorazepam efficacy (at 4.5 mg/day). in the tetrabamate group, 55.3% were considered as "good responders" (as defined by a hars score reduction equal o ... | 2013 | 1959498 |
| rook's tour representation of the genetic code. | disconnected recurrences of the stop signal, serine and arginine appear in the original representation of the genetic code, and of the stop signal, arginine, serine and leucine in the codon ring representation. to achieve connectedness along with structural continuity, a rook's tour representation is presented here. on the basis of structural similarities and disparities in their side groups, each of the 20 amino acids is associated with a domain comprised of from one to six contiguous squares o ... | 1991 | 1958894 |
| aspects of skilled imagery in blindfold chess. | blindfold chess is a very good task environment to study skill-based mental images or skilled imagery. seven experiments providing information on different aspects of skilled imagery in blindfold chess were made. in all experiments very clear skill-related differences in the operation of chess-specific materials could be found. it will also be argued that chess-specific patterns or chunks are important in skilled subjects' construction of images and the operation of these images relies on the co ... | 1991 | 1950637 |
| combined chemical-shift and phase-selective imaging for fat suppression: theory and initial clinical experience. | incomplete fat suppression with a chemical-shift-selective (chess) or phase-selective (dixon) technique is partially due to the olefinic fat component, which precesses at the same frequency as water. the authors developed a new method of fat suppression--the opposed-fat saturation (op-es) sequence--that combines both techniques to obtain superior fat saturation. fat suppression was verified in phantom studies, which showed that the chess portion can eliminate most of the aliphatic fat signal exc ... | 1991 | 1887054 |
| cognitive advantage in sport: the nature of perceptual structures. | to extend and clarify the nature of the perceptual processes used by sport experts to perceive schematic sport information, two experiments used schematic football diagrams that varied in structure (structured vs. unstructured) and complexity (complex vs. easy). the primary objective was to examine and characterize the nature of the perceptual structures (chunks) that are initially encoded, stored, and subsequently retrieved. in experiment 1, compared with nonexperts, experts recalled larger per ... | 1991 | 1862820 |
