OBJECTIVES To provide an in-depth analysis of seven well-reported studies that examined electrodermal activity (EDA) at acupuncture points with regard to three commonly held tenets of acupuncture: (1) EDA at pathology-related acupuncture points is distinguishable from non-pathology-related acupuncture points; (2) EDA at acupuncture points can assist in diagnosing and monitoring therapeutic prog...

A spectrophotometric study concerning the interaction between Trimethoprim (TMP) ,Sulfamethoxazole (SFMx), as n-donor and 2,3-dichloro-5,6- dicyano-P-benzoquinine (DDQ) and chloranilic acid (CA) as π-acceptor were been performed at 25°C. The results of interaction of CA and DDQwith TMP indicate the formation of a 1:1, 1:2, charge transfer complexes through non equilibrium reactions. In the case...

In the present study, adsorption of lead and cadmium in wastewater was investigated by ethylenediamine-surface-modified single-walled carbon nanotubes (EDA-SWCNTs) to determine important parameters influencing performance for process specify optimum values this process. The adsorbents were characterized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy...

h AT THE 50TH Design Automation Conference, Soha Hassoun organized a session to review the first 50 years of EDA and predict the next 25. While Bill Joyner [1] could draw upon the vast paper resources that MPA collected during the first 25 years of DAC and Rob Rutenbar [2] was able to apply some amazing analytics to the second 25 years of DAC proceedings, I turned to crowd sourcing to solicit i...

To address shortcomings of predominately subjective measures in empirical IS research on IT usage and human-computer interaction, this paper uses a multi-method experimental analysis extending empirical surveying with objective measures from eyetracking and electrodermal activity (EDA). In a three stage process, objective user performance is observed in terms of task fulfillment and user perfor...

This study aimed to identify the disease-causing mutation in the ectodysplasin A (EDA) gene in a Chinese family affected by X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED). A family clinically diagnosed with XLHED was investigated. For mutation analysis, the coding region of EDA of 2 patients and 7 unaffected members of the family was sequenced. The detected mutation in EDA was investigated ...

Edaravone (EDA) is clinically used for treatment of acute ischemic stroke in Japan and China due to its potent free radical-scavenging effect. However, it has yet to be determined whether EDA can attenuate iodoacetic acid- (IAA-) induced neuronal death in vitro. In the present study, we investigated the effect of EDA on damage of IAA-induced primary cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) and its pos...

This paper presents an algorithm for the automatic selection of a minimal subset of tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA). The EDA stochastically searches the constrained space of possible feasible solutions and takes advantage of the underlying topological structure defined by the SNP correlations to model the problem interactions. T...

This chapter proposes a combination of estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) and the 2-opt local search algorithm (EDA/LS) for the quadratic assignment problem (QAP). In EDA/LS, a new operator, called guided mutation, is employed for generating new solutions. This operator uses both global statistical information collected from the previous search and the location information of solutions ...
