The vertebrate brain is symmetrically organized, with two identical-looking cerebral hemispheres and a brainstem that contains identically named nuclei on both sides of the midline. However tempting it is to think of each brain half as a mirror image of its contralateral counterpart, this is an incorrect oversimplification. Careful anatomical comparison of select anatomical structures and their...

PURPOSE The primary purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two different exercise training programs on executive cognitive functions and functional mobility in older adults. A secondary purpose was to explore the potential mediators of training effects on executive function and functional mobility with particular reference to physical fitness gains. METHODS A sample of 42 healthy...

OBJECTIVE To assess the level of functional capacity in subjects aged 60 years and older, who have lower back pain, and its association with demographic, socioeconomic, work-related, lifestyle-related and disease mentioned variables. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with 246 elderly registered at the Family Health Strategy of Vila São Paulo, Bauru,SP, Brazil, who reported lower b...

Linear or one-dimensional reversible second-order cellular automata, exemplified by three cases named as RCA1–3, are introduced. Displays of their evolution in discrete time steps, t= 0, 1, 2, . . ., from their simplest initial states and on the basis of updating rules in modulo 2 arithmetic, are presented. In these, shaded and unshaded squares denote cells whose cell variables are equal to one...

A multivariate technique named Canonical Concordance Correlation Analysis (CCCA) is introduced. In contrast to the classical (CCA) which based on maximization of Pearson’s correlation coefficient between linear combinations two sets variables, CCCA maximizes Lin’s concordance accounts not just for maximum but also closeness aggregates’ mean values and their variances. While CCA employs centered...
