The present study was designed to investigate whether an intervention during which participants were involved in mental rotation (MR) of a foot stimulus would have immediate beneficial effects on postural stability (Experiment 1) and to confirm whether it was the involvement of MR of the foot, rather than simply viewing foot stimuli, that could improve postural stability (Experiment 2). Two dif...

We investigate the shot noise for phase-coherent quantum transport in the chaotic-to-regular crossover regime. Employing the modular recursive Green's function method for both ballistic and disordered two-dimensional cavities, we find the Fano factor and the transmission eigenvalue distribution for regular systems to be surprisingly similar to those for chaotic systems. We argue that, in the ca...

Shot peening is a complicated and expensive process and many shot peening parameters have an influence on the improvement in fatigue performance. Design of Experiment (DoE) has become a very useful tool to optimize the process by considering the greatest amount of information. With the development of computer ability, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been widely used to simulate this dynamic...

The measurement of transient optical fields has proven critical to understanding the dynamical mechanisms underlying ultrafast physical and chemical phenomena, is key realizing higher speeds in electronics telecommunications. Complete characterization waveforms, however, requires an oscilloscope capable resolving electric field oscillations with sub-femtosecond resolution single-shot operation....

This paper proposes shot genre classification from MPEG compressed movies, as one of the high-level indexing methods for audio-visual contents. Through statistical analysis of low-level and mid-level audio-visual features on compressed domain, the proposed method can achieve subjectively accurate shot classification within the movies into predefined genre set, which can be applied to various co...

introduction: based on the previous studies, we know that the hemispheric lateralization defects, increase the probability of psychological disorders. we also know that dominant limb is controlled by dominant hemisphere and limb preference is used as an indicator for hemisphere dominance. in this study we attempted to explore the hemispheric dominance by the use of three limbs (hand, foot and e...
