Exploring the relationship between multimodal magnetic resonance neuroimaging and cognitive outcomes in children: applying machine learning algorithms to brain MRI features to pred... by Khobo, Isaac

“…Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) is a versatile tool that can be used to measure a broad range of brain tissue properties giving rise to cognitive functions. For example, structural MRI (sMRI) can quantify brain volumes and other morphometrics, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can estimate the amount of nerve fibre damage, and proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) can charac- terise the biochemical profile of grey and white matter (GM, WM).Research aims : The aims of this study were: First, collect evidence for what is known about the relationship between cognitive performance assessed by a comprehensive set of cognitive test batteries and brain changes measured with neuroimaging in children, adolescents, and youth living with HIV. …”

The genetics of cognition in Schizophrenia by Wootton, Olivia

“…Background: Cognitive impairment is a well-documented feature of schizophrenia and a major determinant of functional outcomes. Cognitive function may be assessed by measuring mean performance measures on cognitive tasks or by measuring variability in performance across tasks or trials of a task that make up a cognitive test battery. …”

Real-time power system impedance estimation for DG applications: Using PV-inverter based harmonic injection method by Knezevic, Aleksa

“…In this work, the active method is implemented in a three-phase PV-inverter and thoroughly tested in terms of its TEI estimation accuracy. Dependence of said accuracy on parameters such as the level of injected current and its frequency is shown to be high through tests performed on the live PS at two locations. …”

The prevalence of asthma in urban and rural Black children : an epidemiological survey by Van Niekerk, Christoffel Hendrik

“…To acquire the above, it was necessary 1. to obtain information on the characteristics and socio-economic status of the family of each child studied; 2. to obtain information on every child relating to exposure to allergens in his immediate home environment; 3. to obtain information on the dietary pattern of every child during infancy and currently; 4. to identify the asthmatic children by subjecting every child to an appropriate exercise stimulus for detection of exercise-induced asthma judged by pulmonary function tests; 5. to conduct a clinical examination of the children. and skinfold thickness was also measured; Height, weight 6. to conduct prick skin testing to assess specific skin sensitivity to common allergens; 7. to conduct laboratory investigations relating to the allergic-immune status of the children; 8. arising out of these findings to relate the prevalence rates of asthma in the 2 samples and to suggest factors influencing the rates.…”
