Producing stable feature rankings is critical in many areas, such as in bioinformatics where the robustness of a list of ranked genes is crucial to interpretation by a domain expert. In this paper, we study Spearman’s rho as a measure of stability to training data perturbations not just as a heuristic, but here proving that it is the natural measure of stability when using mean rank aggregation...

BACKGROUND Pompe disease is a proximal myopathy. We investigated whether exercise training is a safe and useful adjuvant therapy for adult Pompe patients, receiving enzyme replacement therapy. METHODS Training comprised 36 sessions of standardized aerobic, resistance and core stability exercises over 12 weeks. Before and after, the primary outcome measures safety, endurance (aerobic exercise ...

this paper presents an indirect adaptive system based on neuro-fuzzy approximators for the speed control of induction motors. the uncertainty including parametric variations, the external load disturbance and unmodeled dynamics is estimated and compensated by designing neuro-fuzzy systems. the contribution of this paper is presenting a stability analysis for neuro-fuzzy speed control of inducti...

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of acute and chronic exercise on erythrocyte membrane stability and various blood indices in a population consisting of five national-level male swimmers, over 18 weeks of training. The evaluations were made at the beginning and end of the 1st, 7th, 13th and 18th weeks, when volume and training intensity have changed. The effects manifested at the begi...

abstract background and aim: regard with the importance of balance in daily activities especially in sport activities and understanding the important factor affecting it, the purpose of this study was to compare the role of vision system on dynamic postural stability of young women with men elite athletes. materials and methods: twenty six young women and men elite swimmer were chosen from the ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between core stability, functional movement, and performance. Twenty-eight healthy individuals (age = 24.4 ± 3.9 yr, height = 168.8 ± 12.5 cm, mass = 70.2 ± 14.9 kg) performed several tests in 3 categories: core stability (flexion [FLEX], extension [EXT], right and left lateral [LATr/LATl]), functional movement screen (FMS) (deep squat...

The aim of this study was to explore the plasticity of fixation in patients with central vision loss. Most of these patients use preferred retinal loci (PRLs) in the healthy eccentric part of the retina to fixate, but fixation stability and retinal location are not always optimal for best visual performance. This study examined whether fixation stability and a new PRL location can be trained an...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of training using dual tasks on balance ability in stroke patients. [Subjects] Forty stroke patients were divided into a dual-task training group (N = 20) and a single task training group (N = 20) randomly. [Methods] The subjects in the single-task traing group stood in a comfortable position, faced a therapist, then threw a Swiss...

Improving the ability to react to perturbations during daily activities like walking is a key to effective fall prevention training. Quantifying how walking stability changes in response to destabilizing events is critical for assessing how effective gait training interventions are. When small perturbations of increasing amplitude were applied to a dynamic model of walking, the model did not be...
