How does one find data dimensions that are reliably expressed across repetitions? For example, in neuroscience one may want to identify combinations of brain signals that are reliably activated across multiple trials or subjects. For a clinical assessment with multiple ratings, one may want to identify an aggregate score that is reliably reproduced across raters. The approach proposed here — “c...

INTRODUCTION The capacity of a healthy individual to estimate the true vertical in relation to the Earth when a fluorescent line is aligned in a completely dark room is called the subjective visual vertical. OBJECTIVE To evaluate subjective visual vertical using the bucket method in healthy Brazilian individuals. METHODS Binocular subjective visual vertical was measured in 100 healthy volun...

Background: One of the leading causes of death is brain tumors. Accurate tumor classification leads to appropriate decision making and providing the most efficient treatment to the patients. This study aims to optimize brain tumor MR images classification accuracy using optimal threshold, PCA and training Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with different repetitions.Material and Meth...

Determining the best rest interval durations between resistance exercise sets for adaptation is very important. This study investigated the effect of different rest intervals duration between resistance exercise (RE) sets on the gene expression of CGRP and IGF-1. Forty two male Wistar rats were randomly divided in to 7 groups. The resistance exercise included one session of climbing on one mete...

In many contexts from casual everyday conversations to formal discussions, people tend to repeat their interlocutors, and themselves. This phenomenon not only yields random repetitions one might expect from a natural Zipfian distribution of linguistic forms, but also projects underlying discourse mechanisms and rhythms that researchers have suggested establishes conversational involvement and m...

PURPOSE The authors tested different loading schemes for the number of repetitions completed during multiple sets of resistance exercise. METHODS Twenty-four resistance-trained men (age 24.0 ± 4.5 y, body mass 78.3 ±10.2 kg, height 177 ± 7 cm) were tested over a 5-wk period. During week 1 a 10-repetition maximum (10RM) in the leg press was determined. During weeks 2-5 subjects completed 4 bou...

In a recent paper we introduced infinite two-pattern strings on the alphabet {a, b} as a generalization of Sturmian strings, and we posed three questions about them: • Given a finite string x, can we in linear time O(|x|) recognize whether or not x is a prefix/substring of some infinite two-pattern string? • If recognized as two-pattern, can all the repetitions in x be computed in linear time? ...
