In an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based brain-computer interface (BCI), motor imagery has been successfully used as a communication strategy. Motor imagery causes detectable amplitude changes in certain frequency bands of EEGs, which are dubbed event-related desynchronization\synchronization. The frequency components that give effective discrimination between different types of motor imagery are...

Abstract Dementia-friendly community (DFC) initiatives are a community-level approach to support individuals living with dementia and their care partners. DFC engage in range of activities including raising awareness about dementia, enhancing local services, advocating for inclusive public facilities spaces. There is significant variation the implementation worldwide which creates challenges bo...

In the nucleolus the U3 snoRNA is recruited to the 80S pre-rRNA processing complex in the dense fibrillar component (DFC). The U3 snoRNA is found throughout the nucleolus and has been proposed to move with the preribosomes to the granular component (GC). In contrast, the localization of other RNAs, such as the U8 snoRNA, is restricted to the DFC. Here we show that the incorporation of the U3 sn...

Using Yelp data, we built a restaurant recommendation system for individuals and groups. For each of 4.9k individual Yelp users, we create a ranking SVM model with features encompassing users’ food preferences and dietary restrictions, such as cuisine type, services o↵ered, ambience, noise level, average rating, etc. Our recommendation system for individual users achieved 72% average prediction...

In this paper, we develop a scalable VLSI architecture employing a two-channel quadrature mirror filter (QMF) lattice for the one-dimensional (1-D) discrete wavelet transform (DWT). We begin with the development of systematic scheduling, which determines the filtering instants of each resolution level, on the basis of a binary tree. Then input–output relation between lattices of the QMF bank is...

We investigate the performance of First-In, FirstOut (FIFO) queues over wireless networks. We characterize the stability region of a general scenario where an arbitrary number of FIFO queues, which are served by a wireless medium, are shared by an arbitrary number of flows. In general, the stability region of this system is non-convex. Thus, we develop a convex inner-bound on the stability regi...

In response to the call for candidates issued by the National Institute for Standards and Technologies (the Advanced Encryption Standard project) the Ecole Normale Sup erieure proposed a candidate called DFC as for \Decorrelated Fast Cipher", based on the decorrelation technique that provides provable security against several classes of attacks (in particular the basic version of Biham and Sham...
