In this study, participants with self-reported anxiety were taught meditation practices over the course of 8 weekly sessions in order to instill habits to improve their anxiety. Previous studies suggest an increase in alpha and theta band power in individuals relaxed and with their eyes closed. However, this has not been shown using a mobile wireless electroencephalographic (EEG) system suitabl...

Object classification is a fundamental step in automatic video-surveillance that allows improved tracking and a more accurate description of events. However, as real-world applications need a real-time, flexible, easy and quick to configure solution, the design of a practical object classification algorithm becomes a challenge. This paper analyses advantages and disadvantages of different frame...

The acid-mediation hypothesis, that is, the hypothesis that acid produced by tumours, as a result of aerobic glycolysis, provides a mechanism for invasion, has so far been considered as a relatively closed system. The focus has mainly been on the dynamics of the tumour, normaltissue, acid and possibly some other bodily components, without considering the effect of an external intervention such ...

We show that the locus of stable rank four vector bundles without theta divisor over a smooth projective curve of genus two is in canonical bijection with the set of theta-characteristics. We give several descriptions of these bundles and compute the degree of the rational theta map.

In this paper, we study modularity of several functions which naturally arose in a recent paper of Lau and Zhou on open Gromov-Witten potentials of elliptic orbifolds. They derived a number of examples of indefinite theta functions, and we provide modular completions for several such functions which involve more complicated objects than ordinary modular forms. In particular, we give new closed ...

We study the spanning properties of Theta-Theta graphs. Similar in spirit with the Yao-Yao graphs, Theta-Theta graphs partition the space around each vertex into a set of k cones, for some fixed integer k > 1, and select at most one edge per cone. The difference is in the way edges are selected. Yao-Yao graphs select an edge of minimum length, whereas Theta-Theta graphs select an edge of minimu...
