ces and target traits.Sexual selection often leads to evolution of conspicuous signals, raising the chances of attracting not only potential mates, but also predators. In lacertid lizards, ultraviolet (UV)-blue spots on flanks and shoulders represent such a trait. Some level of correlation between male and female ornamentation is also known to…[Read more]

54 for cCR and 0.93 for pCR. At the external validation, ΔL

showed an accuracy of 81% for cCR and 79% for pCR, while Δglnu reported 63% for cCR and 40% for pCR.

The accuracy of ΔL

in predicting cCR and pCR is significantly higher than those obtained considering Δglnu, but inferior if compared with other image-based biomarker, suc…[Read more]

73 ± .09). Accuracy ranged between 0.65 and 0.93 based on varying repetition rate and duty cycle.

Hand posture and force prediction were possible using sEMG and ANNs, though there were important differences in the accuracy of predictions based on task characteristics including duty cycle and repetition rate.

The results of this…[Read more]

75-14) days – although this increase was not statistically significant (p = 0.064). There was not a statistically significant difference between the rectal symptom groups (p = 0.422) and too few patients attended with pharyngeal symptoms to warrant analysis. Despite some outliers, the telephone-triage service did not increase wait times for…[Read more]
