The present study analyses BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) capital markets in both time and frequency domain using wavelets. We used artificial neural network techniques to forecast the co-movement among markets. Wavelet coherence clustering estimates uncover interesting dynamics co-movement. A wavelet diagram shows a clear contagion effect nations, it favors short period inv...

Movement and carbon dioxide (CO(2)) release of individual Formosan, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Eastern, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) subterranean termites were recorded simultaneously in real time. Worker, soldier, and pre-alate (nymph) caste termites were recorded over 1-h periods at ambient temperature and normoxia in dry, CO(2)-free air. No evidence of discontinuous gas exchange ...

Discovering co-movement patterns from large-scale trajectory databases is an important mining task and has a wide spectrum of applications. Previous studies have identified several types of interesting co-movement patterns and showcased their usefulness. In this paper, we make two key contributions to this research field. First, we propose a more general co-movement pattern to unify those defin...

Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) suffer from an increased resistance to passive movement of a joint, called as rigidity. Stretch reflex and shortening reaction were suggested to be associated to the rigidity, however, the mechanism is still poorly understood. We hypothesized that the co-contraction of antagonistic muscle pairs is enhanced in patients with PD and this induces resistance pe...

background:: this study developed a smart co 2 detector, which attach to the general ventilation system to reduce the gas level. methods: indoor air quality measurement was performed in five selected rooms between january 2015 to february 2015 using tsi q-trak tm indoor air monitor 7575. the perceived indoor air quality conditions was gathered using questionnaires adopted from the industrial co...
