PURPOSE To estimate between-scanner functional MRI (fMRI) reproducibility in a multisite study. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of five identical 1.5T MR systems were used to repeatedly scan five subjects while performing a finger tapping task. A two-way (scanners, subjects) random effects analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to estimate between-scanner and between-subject variability on two o...

Behaviors are often highly heritable, polygenic traits. To investigate molecular mediators of behavior, we analyzed gene expression patterns across seven brain regions (amygdala, basal ganglia, cerebellum, frontal cortex, hippocampus, cingulate cortex and olfactory bulb) of ten different inbred mouse strains (129S1 variation was observed across both strain and brain region. These data provide p...

aim: it seems that positive outcomes resulting from the autonomy in the job, is dependent on a number of factors. autonomy means the interdependence and freedom of staff in planning and organizing work and it has different levels. the aim of current research is to investigate the role of task reflection in relation of autonomy and skill utilization. method: the research sample consisted of 324 ...

PURPOSE We investigated the relationship between aerobic fitness and sustained attention capacity by comparing task performance and brain function, by means of event-related potentials (ERP), in high- and low-fit young adults. METHODS Two groups of participants (22 higher-fit and 20 lower-fit) completed a 60-min version of the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT). Behavioral (i.e., reaction time)...

This paper describes the experiments carried out as part of the participation in FIRE-2014 Transliterated Search Shared task. We participated in subtask-2 and submitted two results generated by systems based on relevant feedback approach. Given a collection of documents in mixed script, the task is to retrieve relevant documents using queries in either script. The spelling variation between dif...

In this paper we investigate human binocular depth perception on 3D electronic display technologies. Our study is motivated by the increasing use of 3D displays in applications, including geo-science and medicine, where critical decisions are made using fine binocular depth judgements. We predict subject performance for a depth judgement task using published specifications for seven different 3...
