During a critical period of postnatal age sensory experience has a profound effect on maturation of visual cortical wiring. Electrophysiological evidence is indicating a substantial effect of visual deprivation on the visual cortical response properties. In this study we evaluated effect of light deprivation during a limited time of postnatal age on two aspects of spatial (working and reference...

Active gibberellin (GA(1)) is an important mediator of thermoperiodic growth in pea. Plants grown under lower day than night temperature (negative DIF) elongate less and have reduced levels of GA(1) compared with plants grown at higher day than night temperature (positive DIF). By comparing the wild type (WT) and the elongated DELLA mutant la cry(s), this study has examined the effect of impair...

Measures of effect size are recommended to communicate information on the strength of relationships. Such information supplements the reject/fail-to-reject decision obtained in statistical hypothesis testing. Because sample effect sizes are subject to sampling error, as is any sample statistic, computing confidence intervals for these statistics is a useful strategy to represent the magnitude o...

BACKGROUND Impaired walking limits function after spinal cord injury (SCI), but training-related improvements are possible even in people with chronic motor incomplete SCI. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare changes in walking speed and distance associated with 4 locomotor training approaches. DESIGN This study was a single-blind, randomized clinical trial. SETTING This ...

In this thesis, we present work on two problems from the field of LR parser construction, a family of syntax analysis techniques for context-free languages. In the first part, we show that the traditional LR parser construction technique produces parsers which are burdened with a substantial amount of systematic redundance. We develop a new and well-founded method which defines what we call gen...

Differentiation-inducing factor-1 (DIF-1) is a polyketide that induces Dictyostelium amoebae to differentiate as prestalk cells. We performed a global quantitative screen for phosphorylation changes that occur within the first minutes after addition of DIF-1, using a triple-label SILAC approach. This revealed a new world of DIF-1-controlled signaling, with changes in components of the MAPK and ...

This paper analyses the performance of machine learning models in forecasting Tehran Stock Exchange's automobile index. Historical daily data from 2018-2022 was pre-processed and used to train Linear Regression (LR), Support Vector (SVR), Random Forest (RF) models. The were evaluated on mean absolute error, squared root error R2 score metrics. results indicate that LR SVR outperformed RF predic...
