Unilateral contact problems in elasticity (Duvaut and Lions, 1976) have been extensively studied in the last two decades (Andersson and Klarbring, 2001; Angelov and Liolios, 2004; Cǎpǎtinǎ and Cocu, 1991; Cocu, 1984; Demkowicz and Oden, 1982; Duvaut and Lions, 1976; Hlavaček et al., 1988; Kikuchi and Oden, 1988; Klarbring et al., 1989; Lee and Oden, 1993a,1993b; Ne čas et al., 1980; Oden and Ca...

Non-invasive epileptic source localization techniques, relying on interictal activity in the EEG and mainly motivated by the need for presurgical localization of the epileptic focus in intractable focal epilepsy, have been widely studied and validated (Blume et al., 2001; Ebersole, 2000; Gavaret et al., 2009; Lantz et al., 2003; Michel et al., 2004; Zumsteg et al., 2005, 2006). Source localizat...

The matrix type multielectrodes have been proved to be useful for getting the information of motor unit (MU) properties (Monster et al., 1980; Reucher et al., 1987; Yamada et al., 1987; Masuda and Sadoyama, 1988; Kleine et al., 2000; Gazzoni et al., 2004). By this electromyography (EMG) technique, we can obtain many essential properties of MU that could not be obtained by conventional surface E...

In recent years, there have been an increasing number of achievements dealing with the control of agent formations (Olfati-Saber, 2006; Tanner & Jadbabaie, 2007; Fax & Murray, 2004; Jadbabaie et al., 2003; Lin et al., 2004; Olfati-Saber & Murray, 2004). The formation control of multiple moving agents has emerged as a topic of widespread interest due to its broad range of applications in militar...

Rationale. The last three years have brought considerable progress in understanding the nature and patterns of single nucleotide polymorphism within the human species. Of the estimated 10-15 million common SNPs, a large fraction have already been discovered and 3.8 million SNPs converted to genotyping assays, providing the community with a framework to investigate associations between common SN...

Tutoring systems researchers have recognized the need to identify and address affective states that lead to disengagement in learning activities (Baker, D’Mello, Rodrigo, & Graesser, 2010; D’Mello, Lehman, & Graesser, 2011; D’Mello Strain, Olney, & Graesser, 2013; Forbes-Riley, Litman, Friedberg, 2011; Gee, 2004, 2007; Picard et al., 2004). Some affective states have relatively uncomplicated re...
