Multi-task in one epoch usually exists in our life, but the brain functional activation response is few analyzed. One key problem is that the multi-task response data processing has not been addressed. In this paper, spatial independent component analysis (sICA) is presented to separate the different response of the complex visual-movement task by analyzing the unmixing matrices temporal compon...

Background and Objectives: After the introduction of the pneumococcal vaccine, an increase has been observed in the disease due to nonspecific stereotypes of the vaccine. This study was conducted to determine the spatial distribution of pneumococcal vaccine coverage and common stereotypes of streptococcus pneumonia after vaccine introduction in the vaccine recipient countries.   Methods: The ...

This paper presents a method of identifying patterns among buildings and constructing relationships between them. It is envisioned that the pattern objects not only provide operands upon which generalization can be applied, but more importantly, add a new spatial data type with specific semantics in a geospatial database. These new database objects can support spatial analysis and queries that ...

The development of techniques for efficiently confining photons on the deep sub-wavelength spatial scale will revolutionize scientific research and engineering practices. The efficient coupling of light into extremely small nanofocusing devices has been a major challenge in on-chip nanophotonics because of the need to overcome various loss mechanisms and the on-chip nanofabrication challenges. ...

Introduction. The purpose of this study was to compare the taper variation in root canal preparations among Twisted Files and PathFiles-ProTaper .08 tapered rotary files to current standards. Methods. 60 root canals with severe angle of curvature (between 25° and 35°) and short radius (r < 10 mm) were selected. The canals were divided randomly into two groups of 30 each. After preparation with ...

Spatial pattern of trees can possibly indicate stand history, population dynamics, and species competition. This research was investigated in the Chahartagh forest reserve, Ardal region, chaharmehal and Bakhtiari Province, Central Zagros forest, and southwest Iranian state. In this study 53 hectare of the study area was selected and perfect inventory.  Information includes the position and kind...
