Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have revealed group differences in the frontal area between the subcortical vascular cognition impairment (SVCI) patients and the controls. However, most of the existing research focused on average differences between the two groups, and therefore had limited clinical applicability. The aim of our study was to investigate whether inter-region...

This chapter reviews the so-called odd number limitation in delayed feedback control (DFC) for chaotic systems. By the odd number limitation, the original DFC restricts the application to a special class of chaotic systems. So far, various methods have been developed to overcome the limitation. In this chapter, we show their key concepts to solve the problem.

Methods On establishment, the overarching goal of the DFC was to provide the best evidence-based care possible to those at the highest risk of developing diabetes-related foot problems in the region. To achieve this, the DFC undertook a ten-year process of continual quality improvement activities that included a series of retrospective clinical audits. This paper describes the results of these ...

A Drag-Free Control (DFC) system is a necessity for all future space-borne gravitational wave missions such as LISA, and similar technology is needed on other missions where high positional accuracy is required. The DFC system is needed to control the motion of the spacecraft that are required for the construction of a giant Michelson interferometer, which can be used to detect gravitational wa...

Résumé. Les Dépendances Fonctionnelles Conditionnelles (DFC) ont été introduites en 2007 pour le nettoyage des données. Elles peuvent être considérées comme une unification de Dépendances Fonctionnelles (DF) classiques et de Règles d’Association (RA) puisqu’elles permettent de spécifier des dépendances mixant des attributs et des couples de la forme attribut/valeur. Dans cet article, nous trait...

The objective of this paper is to present a tool supporting dataflow coverage testing of Java programs. Code based (”white box”) approach to testing can be divided into two main types: control flow coverage and data flow coverage methods. Dataflow testing was introduced for structural programming languages and later adopted for object languages. Among many tools supporting code based testing of...

This work introduces Divide-Factor-Combine (DFC), a parallel divide-andconquer framework for noisy matrix factorization. DFC divides a large-scale matrix factorization task into smaller subproblems, solves each subproblem in parallel using an arbitrary base matrix factorization algorithm, and combines the subproblem solutions using techniques from randomized matrix approximation. Our experiment...
