Improving Adherence to an Integrated Spontaneous Awakening and Spontaneous Breathing Trial Protocol
BACKGROUND: Integration of nursing-driven spontaneous awakening trial (SAT) and respiratory therapy-driven spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) protocols for patients on mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with fewer ventilator days, shorter ICU stays, and reduced …

Understanding spontaneous device association
… encountered in their environment, and in a spontaneous manner. This process is known as spontaneous device association. Spontaneous device association has been an ongoing research topic for many years. Much existing work examined technical aspects, such as suggesting new techniques using …

Prosodic Phrasing in Spontaneous Swedish
… studies on prosodic phrasing in Swedish, since a spontaneous, Southern Swedish speech material is investigated. The study is, however, not primarily intended as a study of the Southern Swedish dialect; rather Southern Swedish is used as a convenient object on which to test various hypotheses about …

Heritability of Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions
Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOEs) are narrow-band signals emitted from the cochlea and measured in the ear canal with a sensitive microphone. Because these emissions are correlated with sex and because sex is genetically determined, Bilger et al. (1990) hypothesized that SOEs were inherited. …

Spontaneous speech recognition using HMMs
… recognition system that was built to support spontaneous speech understanding. The system is composed of (1) a front end acoustic analyzer which computes Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, (2) acoustic models of context-dependent phonemes (triphones), (3) a back-off bigram statistical …

SNAREs in evoked and spontaneous neurotransmission
Der SNARE-Komplex, bestehend aus Synaptobrevin-2, SNAP-25 und Syntaxin-1 ist unabdingbar für evozierte synaptische Übertragung, allerdings ist der Einfluss der möglichen Intermediärstadien des SNARE-Komplexes in den verschiedenen Phasen der synaptischen Übertragung unbekannt. Mittels Mutagenese von …

Neutron spectrum from 252Cf spontaneous fission
… have been made of the neutron spectrum from the spontaneous fission of 252Cf in the restframe of the fragment by simultaneous observation of the neutron time-of-flight and the fragment velocity. The fragments were detected by means of thin film plastic scintillators in which the scintillation …

Automatic utterance segmentation in spontaneous speech
As applications incorporating speech recognition technology become widely used, it is desireable to have such systems interact naturally with its users. For such natural interaction to occur, recognition systems must be able to accurately detect when a speaker has finished speaking. This research …

Spontaneous chiral ordering in titanium diselenide
… that TiSe₂ is a novel kind of material that spontaneously breaks inversion, all mirror, and roto-inversion symmetries and attains gyrotropic order, paving the way for future experimental work on similar condensed matter systems.

On Determining Spontaneous Ignition in Porous Materials
… developed that lays out the process of analyzing spontaneous ignition likelihood. The Frank-Kamenetskii (F-K) theory forms the basis of the approach. The Damkohler number, defined as the dimensionless heat generation parameter for a self-heating body, is described in terms of two key material …

Genetic Loci Contributing to Spontaneous Autoimmune Diabetes
Background and Aims: Spontaneous type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the BioBreeding (BB) rat mimics human T1D as the rats experience weight loss, polydipsia, polyuria, ketoacidosis, onset during puberty and insulin-dependency within a day after diagnosis. Because the DP rat develops T1D spontaneously, it is …

A Critical Examination of Spontaneous Perspective Taking
… an extension of Theory of Mind (ToM) termed as ‘spontaneous perspective taking’, in which another’s visual perspective is computed both ‘rapidly’ and ‘spontaneously’ (Samson, Apperly, Braithwaite, Andrews, & Bodley Scott, 2010). The current work examines this notion. Experiments 1 and 2 employed …

Spontaneous Neurotransmission as a Driver of Calcium Signaling
Spontaneous neurotransmission is a stochastic mode of neurotransmitter release that is not coupled to action potential arrival at the presynapse. Recent evidence has shed light upon the presynaptic and vesicular fusion machinery that makes this mode of release unique to action potential driven, or …

Spontaneous tone in deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt hypertensive rats
… species (ROS) contribute to the modulation of spontaneous tone observed in aortic rings from deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) salt hypertensive rats. In isolated organ baths, tension developed in rings from hypertensive but not SHAM-normotensive rats in response to increases in preload. …

Effector Cells and Mechanisms in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is characterised by weals, angioedema, or both, which occur for six weeks or more. Itchy, red and raised weals in CSU are thought to occur as a result of skin mast cell activation, local vasodilatation and increased vascular permeability which are the …
