INTRODUCTION Insight regarding the fluctuations in neuromuscular function among athletes during a taper is lacking. PURPOSE This study examined the time course of changes in maximal mechanical power (Pmax), torque at power maximum (T), velocity at power maximum (V), and swim performance (m x s(-1)) that occur during the taper. METHODS Using an arm ergometer with inertial loading, measuremen...

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals reflect the activities or electrical disturbances in neurons human brain. Therefore, these are vital for diagnosing certain brain disorders. This study mainly focused on diagnosis of epilepsy and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) through analysis processing EEGs. In this study, artifacts were removed from EEG datasets using Independent Component Analysis filter...

We suggest using tapered waveguides for compensating losses of surface plasmon-polaritons in order to enhance nonlinear effects at the nanoscale. We study nonlinear plasmon self-focusing in tapered metal-dielectric-metal slot waveguides and demonstrate that, by an appropriate choice of the taper angle, we can effectively suppress the mode attenuation achieving stable propagation of a spatial pl...

Accurate binary classification of electroencephalography (EEG) signals is a challenging task for the development motor imagery (MI) brain–computer interface (BCI) systems. In this study, two sliding window techniques are proposed to enhance MI. The first one calculates longest consecutive repetition (LCR) sequence prediction all windows and named SW-LCR. second mode SW-Mode. Common spatial patt...

one of the core elements of water management and increase agricultural productivity is the efficient use of available resources. due to increasing demand for agricultural products, increase the productivity of scarce resources is essential. optimal utilization of these resources, in addition to meet the demand of the community as a major goal, can also increase operating income to be followed. ...

background geographic information system (gis) software has been used in health care systems to display and analyze spatial pattern of diseases and health services. objectives this study was performed to assess spatial patterns of colon’s pathologic lesions based on the pathologic reports and assess whether it is possible to use gis software in health services. patients and methods archives of ...
