Physical therapy as a profession had evolved from a technical dimension to an evidence-informed paradigm in all aspects of practice, education, research and administration 1 . The orientation in clinical decisionmaking is shifting 'out of the box' towards a behavioral dimension rather than the biological dimension 2 , and it is witnessed by recommendations of practice guidelines towards a multi...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Structural equation modeling (SEM; Bollen, [1]) is a key latent-variable modeling framework in the social and behavioral sciences. It is generally used for understanding how observable indicators relate to latent variables that are postulated to represent unobservable constructs and how these latent variables influence each other. SEM can accommodat...

We investigate the use of iterated integral signatures as a representation of handwritten characters for improved machine recognition, using data from Pendigits and Assamese. We compare methods for including information about pen-liftings in multi-stroke characters and show that the ink dimension is most useful. We show that much useful information is lost when moving to a rotationally-invarian...

We present joint multi-dimension pruning (abbreviated as JointPruning), an effective method of a network on three crucial aspects: spatial, depth and channel simultaneously. To tackle these naturally different dimensions, we proposed general framework by defining seeking the best vector (i.e., numerical value layer-wise number, spacial size, depth) construct unique mapping from to pruned struct...
