Let T be an edge weighted tree, let dT (u, v) be the sum of the weights of the edges on the path from u to v in T , and let dmin and dmax be two non-negative real numbers such that dmin ≤ dmax. Then a pairwise compatibility graph of T for dmin and dmax is a graph G = (V, E), where each vertex u ∈ V corresponds to a leaf u of T and there is an edge (u, v) ∈ E if and only if dmin ≤ dT (u, v) ≤ dm...

The study of element-level stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) has predominantly focused on spatial and symbolic relationships and has involved measures of response time and (dichotomous) error rate. This article explores a new form of SRC that is observed when duration is the relevant feature of both the stimulus and the response, using a more extensive analysis of performance accuracy and v...

According to IEC 61000-1-1 [148], ―Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of an equipment or system to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that environment.‖ The first part of the definition, ―ability ............to function ............in its............ environment‖ fits well with the afor...

This paper addresses the problem of binary decision diagram (BDD) minimization in the presence of don't care sets. Speciically, given an incompletely speciied function g and a xed ordering of the variables, we propose an exact algorithm for selecting f such that f is a cover for g and the binary decision diagram for f is of minimum size. We proved that this problem is NP-complete. Here we show ...

Ideomotor theory states that motor responses are activated by an anticipation of their sensory effects. We assumed that anticipated effects would produce response-effect (R-E) compatibility when there is dimensional overlap of effects and responses. In a four-choice task, visual digit stimuli called for verbal responses (color names). Each response produced a written response-effect on the scre...

Zinc oxide nano-particles with the average diameter of about 25 nm were modified with different mole ratios of trimetoxyvinyl silane (TMVS) and oleic acid, as coupling agents, in order to modify their surface properties and render them more hydrophobic. Then, dispersibility of the surface modified nano-particles was examined in some monomers with different levels of hydrophobicity, including me...

Human mating is a complex phenomenon. Although men and women have different preferences in mate selection, there should be compatibility in these preferences since human mating requires agreement of both parties. We investigate how compatible the mating preferences of men and women are in a given property such as age, height, education and income. We use dataset of a large online dating site (N...

Emotions play a critical role in human cognition, perception, decision making, and interaction [1]. We present a novel non-invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system to monitor human emotion in the loop. In particular, we developed a continuous music-based emotion display embedded in an online BCI architecture. Our system measures emotional states from electroencephalography (EEG) signals a...
