In this work we study, analytically and employing Monte Carlo simulations, the influence of the competition between several activity-dependent synaptic processes, such as short-term synaptic facilitation and depression, on the maximum memory storage capacity in a neural network. In contrast with the case of synaptic depression, which drastically reduces the capacity of the network to store and ...

Brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) was studied in term neonates using maximum length sequences (MLS), which allows presentation of acoustic stimuli at much higher rate than possible with conventional averaging technique. The response waveforms, especially for waves III and V, were well defined at the click rates of 91-455/s. Wave latencies and interpeak intervals at various click rates w...

background: patellar mal tracking is responsible for pain and disability in patellofemoral pain syndrome (pfps). patellar kinesio taping may have different effects on short and long term usage. the aim of this study is to compare the effect of short term and long term patellar kinesio taping in patellar position on women with patellofemoral pain syndrome using magnetic resonance imaging (mri). ...

The study was designed to examine the gender-related differences in maximum mechanical power output in various short-burst activities during growth. The subject sample consisted of four subgroups: 9 boys (14.11 +/- 0.6 yr), 9 boys (10.67 +/- 0.71 yr), 7 girls (14.29 +/- 0.49 yr), 7 girls (10.57 +/- 0.54 yr). We measured peak power (PP), mean power (MP), fatigue index (FI) during 30-s WAnT, squa...

Take-off in birds at high speeds and steep angles of elevation requires a high burst power output. The mean power output of the pectoralis muscle of blue-breasted quail (Coturnix chinensis) during take-off is approximately 400 W kg(-1) muscle, as determined using two independent methods. This burst power output is much higher than has been measured in any other cyclically contracting muscle. Th...

Background. Maximal Aerobic Power is related to many quantities and qualities such as supplements. Objectives. The purpose of the present study was to describe the effect of short-term supplementation of glutamine and glucose on hemoglobin and maximum aerobic power in female athletes. Methods. In this quasi-experimental study, 40 female athletes (age 21.9±2.6 years, height 161.8&...

The maximum principle for the space and time-space fractional partial differential equations is still an open problem. In this paper, we consider a multi-term time-space Riesz-Caputo fractional differential equations over an open bounded domain. A maximum principle for the equation is proved. The uniqueness and continuous dependence of the solution are derived. Using a fractional predictor-corr...

An instance crucial to most problems in signal processing is the selection of the order of a presupposed model. Examples are the determination of the putative number of signals present in white Gaussian noise or the number of noise-contaminated sources impinging on a passive sensor array. It is shown that Maximum a Posteriori Bayesian arguments, coupled with Maximum Entropy considerations, offe...
