Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography in the differential diagnosis of early-onset dementia: a prospective, community-based study (2009)

Panegyres, Peter K, Rogers, Jeffrey M, McCarthy, Michael, Campbell, Andrew, Wu, Jing

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET) using F 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in the differential diagnosis of...

Designing nature reserves in the face of uncertainty (2009)

Michael McCarthy, Colin Thompson, Hugh Possingham

Conservation reserves are one of the most important tools for managing biodiversity. Ever since Diamond, based on theory of island biogeography, proposed that a single large reserve was preferable to...

Turning numbers into thoughts: making sense of language corpora (1999) The Language Teacher, 25-27. (2008)

Michael Mccarthy

Corpora are growing bigger, and there is little doubt that they will continue to be important in language teaching. But we should consider the ideological issues they engender, especially spoken...

Talking, Creating: Interactional Language, Creativity, and Context (2008)

Ronald Carter, Michael Mccarthy

When creative uses of spoken language have been investigated, the main examples have been restricted to particular contexts such as narrative and related story-telling genres. This paper reports on...

Particle filters for position sensing with asynchronous ultrasonic beacons (2006)

Henk L. Muller, Michael Mccarthy, Cliff R

Abstract. In this paper we present a user-centric position sensing system that is based on asynchronous, independent ultrasonic beacons. These stationary transmitter units are small, cheap to...

Positioning with Independent Ultrasonic Beacons (2005)

Michael Mccarthy And, Michael Mccarthy, Henk Muller

In this paper we present a novel positioning technique that is based on transmissions from independent ultrasound beacons. These unsynchronised beacons emit narrow-band ultrasonic pulses and do not...

A New Method for Auto-Calibrated Object Tracking (2005)

Paul Duff, Michael Mccarthy, Angus Clark, Henk Muller, Cliff Randell, Cliff R, ...

Ubiquitous computing technologies which are cheap and easy to use are more likely to be adopted by users beyond the ubiquitous computing community. We present an ultrasonic-only tracking system that...

Talking, Creating: Interactional Language, Creativity, and Context (2004)

Carter, Ronald, McCarthy, Michael

When creative uses of spoken language have been investigated, the main examples have been restricted to particular contexts such as narrative and related story‐telling genres. This paper...

Talking Back: “Small” Interactional Response Tokens (2003)

Michael Mccarthy

Because many studies of small talk (and talk in general) focus on the input of main speakers, the verbal behavior of listeners is often underrepresented in descriptions of interaction. The notion of...

STUDIES OF AN OXYGEN ELECTRODE FOR A LONG-LIFE PRIMARY CELL (1998)

MCCARTHY,MICHAEL, BLOOM,RALPH JR.

An investigation was made of the use of O from H2O2 in the National Carbon air cell and of the effect of elevated temperature and increased electrolyte concentration on the performance of this cell....

Spoken grammar: what is it and how can we teach it? (1995)

McCarthy, Michael, Carter, Ronald

The teaching of grammar is regularly based on written examples and on a proscriptive approach to ‘correct’ English. This article argues that consideration by teachers of spoken English shows that...

Interprocess communication protocol support in a distributed integrated software development environment (1994)

Michael Mccarthy, Chris Marlin

As multiprocessor workstations become more widely available, there is increasing interest in how to exploit the potential parallelism they provide to better support the activities of the single...

MultiView-Merlin: An Experiment in Tool Integration (1993)

Chris Marlin, Burkhard Peuschel, Michael Mccarthy, Jennifer Harvey

The experiment described in this paper involved the integration of a process-centred software development envi-ronment (Merlin) and a multiple-view integrated software development environment (Multi...

Comparison of Performance and Cost-Effectiveness of Direct Fluorescent-Antibody, Ligase Chain Reaction, and PCR Assays for Verification of Chlamydial Enzyme Immunoassay Results for Populations with a Low to Moderate Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis Infection

Dean, Deborah, Ferrero, Dennis, McCarthy, Michael

Many laboratories use a commercial enzyme immunoassay (EIA) with verification testing to diagnose Chlamydia trachomatis infections in an effort to contain costs. This study was designed to compare...
