We used the Fsp technique to quantify the influence of changing stages of consciousness on the signal-to-noise ratio of the middle latency response (MLR). The MLR and polysomnographic activity were obtained from 10 subjects during a continuous 6-hour period. The Fsp statistic was applied to the MLR data in order to determine the number of scores above a specified criterion in each stage of cons...

the set of all non-increasing non-negative integer sequences $pi=(d_1‎, ‎d_2,ldots,d_n)$ is denoted by $ns_n$‎. ‎a sequence $piin ns_{n}$ is said to be graphic if it is the degree sequence of a simple graph $g$ on $n$ vertices‎, ‎and such a graph $g$ is called a realization of $pi$‎. ‎the set of all graphic sequences in $ns_{n}$ is denoted by $gs_{n}$‎. ‎the complete product split graph on $l‎ ...

The recently published Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use reflection paper on flexible designs highlights a controversial issue regarding the interpretation of adaptive trials. The guideline suggests that a test for heterogeneity should be preplanned and if treatment effect estimates differ significantly between design stages then data collected before and after the interim analysis...

Integrating dynamic information across the senses is crucial to survival. However, most laboratory studies have only examined sensory integration for static events. Here we demonstrate that strong crossmodal integration can also occur for an emergent attribute of dynamic arrays, specifically the direction of apparent motion. The results of the present study show that the perceived direction of ...

We present a case study in the use of performance modeling for parallel application development, with a biological cell simulation as our target application. We show that a simple performance model is adequate for determining data layout for arrays and linked structures, and validate our model against experimental results for some application kernels. We quantify the importance of optimizing ac...

It was proposed that split-brain monkeys are able to perform ipsilateral eyehand response because the seeing hemisphere can cross-cue the blind hemisphere, which is in major motor control of the arm, by orienting toward a point in space and, thereby, allow for the bilateral registration of head, neck, and eye position. In the present study, accuracy of ipsilateral eye-hand response was measured...
