in pregnant women the posterior pelvic pain provocation test (PPPP test) scored high both on sensitivity (0.69 – 0.81) and specificity (0.80 – 0.90). 7‚13 ‘‘Catching’’ of the leg (the phenomenon whereby a patient feels difficulty in moving one or both legs forward when walking) is described as a diagnostic sign in PPPP.17 The specificity of this sign was similar to that of the PPPP test‚ but its sensitivity was much lower; the reliability of this sign has‚ as far as we know‚ never been investigated

he exhibits more signs of sensitivity and maturity than cold-heartedness and immaturity. When Holden sneaks into his house to visit with his little sister Phoebe‚ he demonstrates how sensitive he is. He wants to protect Phoebe and keep her safe. Holden does not usually enjoy talking to people; however‚ he does enjoy talking to Phoebe.

Executive summary We have analyzed the existing booking policy of TransAtlantic Airlines and identified potential cost saving. The implementation of the suggested new booking policy would lead to reduction of total expected costs per flight on average by £8‚100. Furthermore‚ the new policy would increase the predictability of total costs per flight. With 90% confidence new costs will be in a range £750 and £4‚800 as compared to the current range of £1‚900 to £20‚300. The comparative description

SPA Lab 4: CONTRAST SENSITIVITY FUNCTION Ciara Dubose University of Central Oklahoma Abstract The purpose for this experiment is to determine at which spatial frequency does a participant’s visual acuity for a contrast sensitivity function display a peak performance across different sine – wave gratings. The ability to contrast sensitivity is useful in everyday life‚ more than people imagine. These contrast sensitivity functions focus primarily on the participants’ ability to detect accurately

What are the advantages of prototypes? · They provide a method for investigating an environment in which the problem is poorly defined and information is difficult to gather. · They reduce the need for training information system users because the users are involved in developing the system. · They reduce cost because building a model is less expensive than building the complete system. If the users decide the system shouldn’t be developed‚ the organization hasn’t

In this research‚ the sensitivity of pavement performance to slab thickness has been investigated based on various models including the AASHTO model‚ a mechanistic distress prediction model‚ and fatigue failure models. The controlling performance indicator from the sensitivity study has been compared with the measured variability of pavement thickness in the field‚ and

Montessori had read about these periods of sensitivity in the development of animals‚ but soon realised that she was seeing similar qualities in the interests of the children. "A child learns to adjust himself and make acquisitions in his sensitive periods. These are like a beam that lights interiorly
