Transcranial Doppler (TCD), first described in 1982 [1], is a noninvasive ultrasound (US) study that involves the use of a low-frequency (â¤2 MHz) transducer probe to insonate the basal cerebral arteries through relatively thin bone windows.
Details. as.character and is.character are generic: you can write methods to handle specific classes of objects, see InternalMethods. Further, for as.character the default method calls as.vector, so dispatch is first on methods for as.character and then for methods for as.vector.
For lists and pairlists (including language objects such as calls) it deparses the elements individually, except that it extracts the first element of length-one character vectors. is.character returns TRUE or FALSE depending on whether its argument is of character type or not.
