although, most of the abnormal structures of human brain do not alter the shape of outer envelope of brain (surface), some abnormalities can deform the surface extensively. however, this may be a major problem in a surface-based registration technique, since two nearly identical surfaces are required for surface fitting process. a type of verification known as the circularity check for the shap...

This paper investigate the circularity of Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) coefficients noise only, and proposes a modified STFT such that all coefficients coming from white Gaussian noise are circular. In order to make use of the spectral kurtosis (SK) for a stop criterion, we consider the spectral kurtosis of circular random variables, and its link with the kurtosis of the real and imagina...

Prioritizing missense variants for further experimental investigation is a key challenge in current sequencing studies for exploring complex and Mendelian diseases. A large number of in silico tools have been employed for the task of pathogenicity prediction, including PolyPhen-2, SIFT, FatHMM, MutationTaster-2, MutationAssessor, Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion, LRT, phyloP, and GERP++,...

CIRC is an automated circular coinductive prover that is implemented as an extension of Maude. CIRC implements the circularity principle, which generalizes circular coinductive deduction [4] and can be expressed in plain English as follows. Assume that each equation of interest (to be proved) e admits a frozen form fr(e) and a set of derived equations, its derivatives, Der(e). The circularity p...

This study investigated the role of inertial anisotropy at the hand in causing distortions in movement. Subjects drew circles in the horizontal plane at four locations in the workspace at three instructed paces using elbow and shoulder movements. Specifically, we tested two hypotheses, which we would expect if the anisotropy of inertia were not completely accounted for by the CNS when generatin...

Repeated measures designs are common in experimental psychology. Because of the correlational structure in these designs, the calculation and interpretation of confidence intervals is nontrivial. One solution was provided by Loftus and Masson (Psychonomic Bulletin & Review 1:476-490, 1994). This solution, although widely adopted, has the limitation of implying same-size confidence intervals for...

The topological spin textures in magnetic vortices in confined magnetic elements offer a platform for understanding the fundamental physics of nanoscale spin behavior and the potential of harnessing their unique spin structures for advanced magnetic technologies. For magnetic vortices to be practical, an effective reconfigurability of the two topologies of magnetic vortices, that is, the circul...
