Abstract Background Instead of hyper-reflexia as sole paradigm, post-stroke movement disorders are currently considered the result of a complex interplay between neuronal and muscular properties, modified by level of activity.We used a closed loop system identification technique to quantify individual contributors to wrist joint stiffness during an
Molecular epidemiology of scrub typhus in Taiwan during 2006-2016.
Scrub typhus is the most common endemic vector-borne disease in Taiwan.We identified a total of 4,857 laboratory-confirmed cases during 2006-2016 with hyperendemic foci on offshore islands, including Penghu (778 cases, 16.0%) and Kinmen (716 cases, 14.7%), and eastern Taiwan, including Taitung (628 cases, 12.9%) and Hualien (508 cases, 10.5%).Scrub
Convenience propositions for white-collar offenders: Perceptions of seriousness in Romania

Spatio-Temporal Areal Unit Modeling in R with Conditional Autoregressive Priors Using the CARBayesST Package
Spatial data relating to non-overlapping areal units are prevalent in fields such as economics, environmental science, epidemiology Eternal Ink Concentrate and social science, and a large suite of modeling tools have been developed for analysing these data.Many utilize conditional autoregressive (CAR) priors to capture the spatial autocorrelation i
