Abstract Background The brain’s dynamic spontaneous neural activity and functional connectivity (dFC) are both important in supporting cognition, but how these two types of brain dynamics evolve co-evolve subjective cognitive decline (SCD) mild impairment (MCI) remain unclear. aim the present study was to investigate recurrent concurrent patterns states correlated with decline. Methods analyzed...

Join patterns provide a higher level concurrent programming construct than the explicit use of threads and locks and have typically been implemented with special syntax and run-time support. This paper presents a strikingly simple design for a small number of higher order combinators which can be composed together to realize a powerful set of join patterns as a library in an existing language. ...

Background & Aims: Endothelin_1 secreted by endothelial cells has been identified as the strongest vascular constrictor. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of concurrent training on plasma concentration of endothelin_1 and its relationship with blood pressure of old women. Methods: A total of 20 menopause women (Mean age: 67.47±5.92 years, mean body length: 152.92±7.52cm, ...

Feature models are used to specify variability of user-configurable systems as appearing, e.g., in software product lines. Software product lines are supposed to be long-living and, therefore, have to continuously evolve over time to meet ever-changing requirements. Evolution imposes changes to feature models in terms of edit operations. Ensuring consistency of concurrent edits requires appropr...

10 are not values: one may send an object id, or a value representing the state of the object, or even a value representing the behaviour of the object, but not the object itself. Since message contents are values, type-checking of communications can be handled in a more traditional way [8]. Two promising directions for further work are (1) to reconsider path expressions [7] as a means to descr...

Micropapillary patterns of apocrine change in human female breasts are common histological findings. They have been identified as cancer associated and implicated as an indicator of cancer risk in a predictive manner. This study has stratified papillary apocrine change (PAC) into categories of increasing complexity using a combination of cytological and histological pattern rules. Cases (2,876)...

Global warming and its associated changes in temperature precipitation have significantly affected the ecosystem Southwest China, yet studies that integrate are inadequate for quantitatively assessing impacts of extreme events on ecosystems. In this study, return period concurrent climate extremes characterized by deficit spatial temporal dynamic patterns their ecosystems were assessed using hi...
