The least squares method with deep neural networks as function parametrization has been applied to solve certain high-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) successfully; however, its convergence is slow and might not be guaranteed even within a simple class of PDEs. To improve the network-based model, we introduce novel self-paced learning framework, SelectNet, which quantifies diff...

PURPOSE This study examined the determinants of pacing strategy and performance during self-paced maximal exercise. METHODS Eight well-trained cyclists completed two 20-km time trials. Power output, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), positive and negative affect, and iEMG activity of the active musculature were recorded every 0.5 km, confidence in achieving preexercise goals was assessed eve...

With advances in digital technology, research-validated self-paced learning tools can play an increasingly important role in helping students with diverse backgrounds become good problem solvers and independent learners. Thus, it is important to ensure that all students engage with self-paced learning tools effectively in order to learn the content deeply, develop good problem-solving skills, a...

Background: Children with seizure disorder are often treated with sodium valproate (SV) on long-term basis. SV acts mainly through gamma amino butyric acid pathways, reducing the excitatory neurotransmission and modifying the monoamine concentration. Altered monoamine concentration by SV is expected to cause movement disorder and cognitive dysfunction, considered reversible after the withdrawal...

Notation and Definition: We assume that examples are drawn from some distributions D over an instance space X = X1 × X2, where X1 and X2 correspond to two different “views” of examples. Let c denote the target function, and let X and X− (for simplicity we assume we are doing binary classification) denote the positive and negative regions of X , respectively . For i ∈ 1, 2, let X i = {xj ∈ Xi : ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Ice hockey is a fast-paced sport played by an increasing number of children and teens across the nation. RECENT FINDINGS The risk of injury in youth hockey is high due to contact from body checking. Youth hockey programs need to educate players, coaches, and parents about the importance of knowing and following the rules as well as the dangers of body checking another player...

Background Go on, admit it. However much you may dismiss soap operas, at some point in your life you’ve been fascinated by them. Maybe as a teenager coming home early from school, as a medical student taking a break from exams, or as a young parent at home with the children, you too have been drawn into the world of ‘The Street’ or ‘The Square’ – or even ‘The Police Station’. You too have been ...

OBJECTIVE We investigated the effects of self-regulation of slow cortical potentials for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Slow cortical potentials are slow event-related direct-current shifts of the electroencephalogram. Slow cortical potential shifts in the electrical negative direction reflect the depolarization of large cortical cell assemblies, reducing their excitati...

Words that are more predictable given a previous context show facilitated processing over low predictable ones. Such facilitation has been traditionally viewed as associated with reduced amplitudes in the N400 component. However, this effect is observed during the presentation of the target word, and it does not provide direct information about the prediction processes engaged before. To overco...

Accurately assessing the physiological status of firefighters during work in the heat is critical to ensuring their safety. Evaluating core temperatures (Tc) in the field is problematic due to cost and limitations in technology and accuracy. As such, fire services rely on individual perceptions of wellbeing. The present study aimed to establish whether perceptual responses measured using the pe...
