In everyday life, navigators often consult a map before they navigate to a destination (e.g., a hotel, a room, etc.). However, not much is known about how humans gain spatial knowledge from seeing a map and direct navigation together. In the present experiments, participants learned a simple multiple corridor space either from a map only, only from walking through the virtual environment, first...

This paper describes an algorithm that can be used to improve the quality of multiword expressions extracted from documents. We measure multiword expression quality by the “usefulness” of a multiword expression in helping ontologists build knowledge maps that allow users to search a large document corpus. Our stopword based algorithm takes n-grams extracted from documents, and cleans them up to...

This study investigated the whole-body coordination patterning in successful and faulty spikes using self-organising map-based cluster analysis. Ten young, elite volleyball players (aged 15.5 ± 0.7 years) performed 60 a real-game environment. Adopting analysis, based on map, was explored between of individual players. The maps (SOMs) portrayed whole body, lower upper limb dissimilarities during...

The present study investigated the effects of a series 10 whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) sessions (3 min; −110 °C) on physiological and thermal responses to submaximal exercise test in 17 elite athletes. Participants performed an twice at similar levels intensity before after ten WBC sessions. Before during test, each participant’s oxygen uptake (VO2), heart rate (HR), internal temperature (T...

The hypothesis that reduced cardiac filling, as a result of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) and postexercise hypotension (PEH), would attenuate the reflex changes to heart rate (HR), skin blood flow (SkBF), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) normally induced by facial immersion was tested. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cardiovascular control mechanisms associated with apnei...
