This paper presents an algorithm for synthesis of human motion in specified styles. We use a theory of movement observation (Laban Movement Analysis) to describe movement styles as points in a multi-dimensional perceptual space. We cast the task of learning to synthesize desired movement styles as a regression problem: sequences generated via space-time interpolation of motion capture data are ...

Gurpinar E, Alimoglu MK, Mamakli S, Aktekin M. Can learning style predict student satisfaction with different instruction methods and academic achievement in medical education? Adv Physiol Educ 34: 192–196, 2010; doi:10.1152/advan.00075.2010.—The curriculum of our medical school has a hybrid structure including both traditional training (lectures) and problem-based learning (PBL) applications. ...

The curriculum of our medical school has a hybrid structure including both traditional training (lectures) and problem-based learning (PBL) applications. The purpose of this study was to determine the learning styles of our medical students and investigate the relation of learning styles with each of satisfaction with different instruction methods and academic achievement in them. This study wa...

ôbjective: working women are predisposed to some psychiatric symptoms or disorders due to their life styles or working conditions such as long working hours, being away from their children during the day, and having various roles as an employee, a spouse, mother and a housekeeper, which creates daily stress, feelings of guilt, anxiety, dysphoric mood or interpersonal problems, all of which may ...

Among the genes that are up-regulated in response to a reaching training in rats, Tachykinin 1 (Tac1)-a gene that encodes the neuropeptide Substance P (Sub P)-shows an especially strong expression. Using Real-Time RT-PCR, a detailed time-course of Tac1 expression could be defined: a significant peak occurs 7 hours after training ended at the first and second training session, whereas no up-regu...

Research aims: This study investigates investor learning style in acquiring knowledge moderated by Information and Communications Technology (ICT).Design/Methodology/Approach: performed an online survey method, comprising 263 convergent-type 210 assimilative-type as the final sample. The Structural Equation Model using Smart-PLS was employed to estimate relationship of latent variableResearch f...

The metabolism of glucose is a nearly exclusive source of energy for maintaining neuronal survival, synaptic transmission and information processing in the brain. Two glucose metabolism pathways have been reported, direct neuronal glucose uptake and the astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS), which can be involved in these functions simultaneously or separately. Although ANLS in the dorsal hip...

the present study aimed to examine the relationship between coaches' leadership styles and some personal characteristics with group cohesion and team success. out of 135 athletes who participated in female volleyball championships of azad universities, 116 athletes (86%) completed the demographic questionnaire, leadership scale for sport (lss) and group environment questionnaire (geq). the...
