In this new model of self-motion perception we focused on two main questions that are central in this field. The first one is how the central nervous system (CNS) merges information coming from different sensory modalities (as vision, touch, vestibular system,...). Another important question is how the system uses translation and rotation information properly to give a correct estimation of mot...

Results of previous studies in the field suggest that neural machine translation (NMT) models can achieve better performance by exploiting information from external sources. In this thesis proposal, we categorize a variety of types of the enhanced models into four classes – multimodal, multilingual, linguistically cosupervised, and linguistically inspired. We summarize some of the approaches in...

Epidemics of a biological and technological nature pervade modern life. For centuries, scientific research focused on biological epidemics, with simple compartmental epidemiological models emerging as the dominant explanatory paradigm. Yet there has been limited translation of this effort to explain internet-based spreading phenomena. Indeed, singleepidemic models are inadequate to explain the ...

In this paper we provide the state-of-the-art of existing proprietary and free and open source software (FOSS) automatic speech recognition (ASR), speech synthesizers, and Machine Translation (MT) tools. We also focus on the need for multimodal communication including gestures, furnishing some examples of 3D gesture recognition software. Our current experiment is based on interoperability betwe...

[Purpose] To present a case of non-surgical reduction of thoracic hyperkyphosis utilizing a multimodal rehabilitation program emphasizing the mirror image® concept. [Subject and Methods] A 15-year-old female presented to a rehabilitation office suffering from back and neck pains and headaches. The patient was treated sporadically over a period of 13-months. Treatment consisted of anterior thora...

Raman spectroscopy is a label-free method of obtaining detailed chemical information about samples. Its compatibility with living tissue makes it an attractive choice for biomedical analysis, yet its translation from a research tool to a clinical tool has been slow, hampered by fundamental Raman scattering issues such as long integration times and limited penetration depth. In this review we de...

objective: the main purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of lazarus multimodal psychotherapy (mmt) on perceived stress in individuals with multiple sclerosis (ms). methods: through a quasi-experimental design, forty patients in qazvin city in iran were selected by convenient sampling and then divided into two groups: experimental and control groups. after group assignment,...
