OBJECTIVE To determine the most discriminative features for a brain-computer interface (BCI) system based on statistically significant differences between two energy density maps calculated from EEG signals during two different motor tasks. METHODS EEG was recorded in ten healthy volunteers while performing different cue based, 3s sustained, real and imaginary right hand movements. Energy den...

The present work presents our efforts at identifying new mercury-manganese (HgMn/CP3) stars using spectra obtained with the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST). Suitable candidates were searched for among pre-selected early-type from LAMOST DR4 a modified version of MKCLASS code that probes several Hg II and Mn features. resulting 332 visually inspected. Using par...

Chaenomeles sinensis has been consumed traditionally for the treatment of throat diseases, diarrhea, inflammatory diseases, and dry beriberi. Repeated chromatography of the CHCl3-soluble fraction from the 80% MeOH extract of C. sinensis twigs led to the isolation of three new triterpenoids, sinenic acid A (1), 3β-O-cis-feruloyl-2α,19α-dihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid (2), and 3β-O-cis-caffeoylbet...

Background: Giant gourami, Osphronemus goramy (Lacepède, 1801) is the most important freshwater fish species produced by aquaculture in Indonesia. This study seeks to determine effects of various newly formulated products on amino acid composition diet and whole-body carcass, analyse growth coefficient, body indices, gut micromorphology.</ns4...

The specified systematic study of calcareous nannofossils was carried out on successions Shiranish and Aaliji Formations. Four Samples have taken from (Kh-4) well, between (2600-2630) m, Northern Iraq. Twenty-five species were identified. According to the identified taxa, two biostratigraphic biozones determined, oldest youngest: &#x0D; 1- Rienhardtites lives Interval Biozone (CC24) Part. 2- Fa...

Seed endophyte inoculation can enhance the plant tolerance to pollutants, which allows cultivation on trace element (TE) polluted soils. Methylobacterium sp. CP3 and Kineococcus endophyticus CP19 were tested in vitro for their Zn Cd growth promotion traits. The vivo effects of bioaugmentation with individual strains or both using two poplar cultivars, Populus deltoides x (P. trichocarpa P. maxi...

In the world of educational satellites, student teams manually conduct operations daily. Educational satellites typically travel in a Low Earth Orbit allowing communication for approximately thirty minutes each day. Manual operations during these times is manageable for student teams as the required manpower is minimal. The international Global Educational Network for Satellite Operations (GENS...

We give holomorphic Chern-Simons-like action functionals on supertwistor space for self-dual supergravities in four dimensions, with and without gauged R-symmetry or cosmological constant. The gauge group is formally the group of holomorphic contact transformations of supertwistor space. In the case of maximal supersymmetry, we give a formulation in terms of a finite deformation of an integrabl...

We study the extension of the Minimal Flavour Violation (MFV) hypothesis to the MSSM without R-parity. The novelty of our approach lies in the observation that supersymmetry enhances the global symmetry of the kinetic term and in the fact that we consider as irreducible sources of the flavour symmetry breaking all the couplings of the superpotential including the R-parity violating ones. If R-p...
