abstract sleep disturbances have been shown to be associated with diabetes control, but the relation between planned wakings or napping with glycemic indices has not been evaluated yet. this study evaluated the relation between sleep quality, duration, and pattern, including daytime napping of people with diabetes and their glycemic control. a cross-sectional correlation research design was use...

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...

A metric d on a finite set X is called a Kalmanson metric if there exists a circular ordering of points of X , such that d(y; u) + d(z; v) > d(y; z) + d(u; v) for all crossing pairs yu and zv of . We prove that any Kalmanson metric d is an l1-metric, i.e. d can be written as a nonnegative linear combination of split metrics. The splits in the decomposition of d can be selected to form a circula...

Neuroimaging and lesion studies have provided insights into the neural mechanisms underlying numerical processing, yet the roles of the right and left hemispheres have not been systematically investigated within a single study. To address this issue, we investigated subitizing and magnitude comparison abilities in a split-brain patient. The first experiment examined the two hemispheres' abiliti...
