In this paper we present an algorithm based on wavelet multiscale Foot Rest Extrusion decomposition, designed to detect lines of maximal gradients in horizontal direction within two-dimensional data sets.The algorithm is capable of identifying layer boundaries within sediment profiles, as demonstrated for artificial as well as two field data sets.L

Scrub typhus is an acute, and sometimes fatal, human febrile illness, typically successfully treated using chloramphenicol or one of the tetracyclines.Over the past several years, descriptions of strains of Orientia tsutsugamushi with reduced susceptibility to antibiotics have appeared.Because case-fatality ratios approached 50% during the pre-anti

Motor imagery is defined as an act wherein an individual contemplates a mental action of motor execution without apparent action.Mental practice executed by repetitive motor imagery can improve motor performance without simultaneous sensory input or overt output.We aimed to investigate cerebral hemodynamics during motor imagery and motor execution

Causal and predictive learning research often employs intuitive and familiar hypothetical scenarios to facilitate learning novel relationships.The allergist task, in which participants are asked to diagnose the allergies of a fictitious patient, is one example of this.In such studies, it is common practice to ask participants to ignore their existi

Here we present mumps virus specific antibody levels in a large cross-sectional population-based serosurveillance study performed in the Netherlands in 2006/2007 (n = 7900).Results were compared with a similar study (1995/1996) and discussed in the light of recent outbreaks.Mumps antibodies were tested using a fluorescent bead-based multiplex immun
