background :many studies have reported the increase in strength of the untrained contralateral limb after unilateral training. the aim of this study was to compare the cross education effect in the young and elderly persons.   methods : in this quasi-experimental and pre-post study, 12 young people aged 28.25 ±3.11 years and 12 elderly persons (aged 73.08 ± 5.3 years) participated. the subjects...

Many millions of users routinely use their Google, Facebook and Microsoft accounts to log in to websites supporting OAuth 2.0 and/or OpenID Connect-based single sign on. The security of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect is therefore of critical importance, and it has been widely examined both in theory and in practice. Unfortunately, as these studies have shown, real-world implementations of both sc...

The existing assays for detecting brevetoxin (BTX) depend on expensive equipment with a professional operator or on an antibody with limited stability, which requires complex processes, a high cost, and a considerable amount of time. The development of an alternative detection probe is another promising research direction. This paper reports the use of aptamers binding to BTX-2 in an analytical...

low water consumption in autumn sugar beet sowing is an important strategy for sugar beet production, especially in arid regions like iran. for the development of a new monogerm triploid hybrid called sharif which is bolting tolerant and suitable for autumn sowing in khuzestan province, a breeding program was started in 1994 and continued for16 years. this program had two stages; the first stag...

Abstract: We consider the problem of modeling heteroscedasticity in semiparametric regression analysis of cross-sectional data. Existing work in this setting is rather limited and mostly adopts a fully nonparametric variance structure. This approach is hampered by curse of dimensionality in practical applications. Moreover, the corresponding asymptotic theory is largely restricted to estimators...

Given the difficulty and effort required to confirm candidate causal SNPs detected in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), there is no practical way to definitively filter false positives. Recent advances in algorithmics and statistics have enabled repeated exhaustive search for bivariate features in a practical amount of time using standard computational resources, allowing us to use cross-...

The crosstalk between single-ended and differential lines is investigated in this paper. First, the telegraphers equations for multiconductor line are applied. Then the differential pair is terminated respectively with T and Π termination networks, and the crosstalk from the single-ended trace to the differential pair is evaluated at the grounded resistors in the T or Π termination networks. Th...

BACKGROUND The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) can be used to predict SNP effects. This operator has the desirable feature of including in the model only a subset of explanatory SNPs, which can be useful both in QTL detection and GWS studies. LASSO solutions can be obtained by the least angle regression (LARS) algorithm. The big issue with this procedure is to define the...
