In a recent psychophysiological study using simultaneous electroencephalography/functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG/fMRI) to investigate pain processing in the human brain we also sought to evaluate the usefulness of recording galvanic skin response (GSR)/electrodermal activity (EDA) during the course of the experiment. Our questions/objectives were a) is it possible to obtain single-tri...

BACKGROUND X-linked recessive hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED; OMIM 305100) is a rare genodermatosis characterized clinically by developmental abnormalities affecting the teeth, hair and sweat glands. Mutations in the EDA-A1 gene have been associated with XLHED. Recently, mutations in the EDA-A1 gene have also been implicated in isolated X-linked recessive hypodontia (XLRH; OMIM 313500...

We consider the problem of matching domain-specific statistical structure to neural-network (NN) architecture. In past work we have considered this problem in the function approximation context; here we consider the pattern classification context. General Systems Methodology tools for finding problem-domain structure suffer exponential scaling of computation with respect to the number of variab...

Cylotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX), with the chemical formula C3H6N6O6,is an energetic organic molecule used widely in military and industrial commodities ofexplosives. By stimulating RDX through exerting temperature or mechanical conditionssuch as impact or friction, decomposition reaction occurs at a very high rate. Moleculardynamics techniques and LAMMPS code with Rea...

EDA HAS BEEN AN IMMENSELY successful field, helping to manage the exponential increase in our capability to implement ICs that incorporate billions of transistors. At the same time, EDA has fostered and applied theories of computation and modeling, successfully combining them with practice. EDA has completely transformed the way that electronics engineers design and manufacture ICs. It was one ...

The zinc-cadmium oxide (ZnO-CdO) nanocomposites with different weight percentages of cadmium oxide (CdO) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by the sonochemical method using zinc and cadmium nitrates as precursors to probe their nano-structured surfaces for the decomposition reactions of chloroethyl phenyl sulfide (CEPS) as a surrogate of sulfur mustard agent simulant. Scanning electron...

Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with immunodeficiency (EDA-ID) is characterized according to its various manifestations, which include ectodermal dysplasia, vascular anomalies, osteopetrosis, and diverse immunological abnormalities such as susceptibility to pathogens, impaired antibody responses to polysaccharides, hypogammaglobulinemia, hyper-IgM syndrome, impaired natural killer cell cytotoxi...

Pure and ZnO-doped Ni0.1Co0.9Fe2O4 catalyst were prepared by co-precipitation method and thermal decomposition in air calcinated at 400-700°C and that treated with different amounts of zinc nitrate (0.46-2.25 w% ZnO). X-ray powder diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and BET analysis of nitrogen adsorption isotherms investigated the crystalline bulk structure and the surface area ...

dynamically adaptive numerical methods have been developed to find solutions for differential equations. thesubject of wavelet has attracted the interest of many researchers, especially, in finding efficient solutions fordifferential equations. wavelets have the ability to show functions at different levels of resolution. in this paper, a numerical method is proposed for solving the second pain...
