The widespread and pervasive use of smartphones for sending messages, calling, and entertainment purposes, mainly among young adults, is often accompanied by the concurrent execution of other tasks. Recent studies have analyzed how texting, reading or calling while walking-in some specific conditions-might significantly influence gait parameters. The aim of this study is to examine the effect o...

Micro-/nano-scaled structures, materials, and devices enable the continuous monitoring of human physical activities behaviors, as well physiological biochemical parameters during daily life [...]

The adaptive interactive systems are still in the beginning of their practical use. There are many scientific prototypes but only few real-life applications using adaptive technology. A lot of Internet applications use profiling techniques but they are still parameter scheduling systems, which are not really adaptive. The adaptive interactive systems have large-scaled very complex structures wi...

The feasibility of spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) for breast surgical margin assessment was evaluated in tissue-simulating phantoms and in fully intact lumpectomy specimens at the time of surgery. Phantom data was evaluated according to contrast-detail resolution, quantitative accuracy and model-data goodness of fit, where optical parameters were estimated by minimizing the residual su...

The relation between the effective chiral Lagrangian whose parameters scale according to Brown and Rho scaling(“BR scaling”) and Landau Fermi-liquid theory for hadronic matter is discussed in order to make a basis to describe the fluctuations under the extreme condition relevant to neutron stars. It is suggested that BR scaling gives the background around which the fluctuations are weak. A simp...

The evolution of the allelic proportion x of a biallelic locus subject to the forces of mutation and drift is investigated in a diffusion model, assuming small scaled mutation rates. The overall scaled mutation rate is parametrized with θ = (μ1+μ0)N and the ratio of mutation rates with α = μ1/(μ1+μ0) = 1−β. The equilibrium density of this process is beta with parameters αθ and βθ. Away from equ...
