A number of recent studies using accelerometer features as input to machine learning classifiers show promising results for automatically detecting stereotypical motor movements (SMM) in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, replicating these results across different types of accelerometers and their position on the body still remains a challenge. We introduce a new set of f...

Wollastonia biflora (L.) DC. plants accumulate the osmoprotectant 3-dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), particularly when salinized. DMSP is known to be synthesized in the chloroplast from S-methylmethionine (SMM) imported from the cytosol, but the sizes of the chloroplastic and extrachloroplastic pools of these compounds are unknown. We therefore determined DMSP and SMM in mesophyll protoplasts...

BACKGROUND Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) plays a crucial role in systemic glucose metabolism. OBJECTIVE To obtain reference data on absolute and relative values of SMM for Korean children and adolescents. METHODS Cross-sectional results from 1919 children and adolescents (1024 boys) aged 10-18 years that underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) during the Korean National Health and Nut...

Bipedal animals exhibit a diverse range of gaits and gait transitions, which can robustly travel over terrains of varying grade, roughness, and compliance. Bipedal robots should be capable of the same. Despite these clear goals, stateof-the-art humanoid robots have not yet demonstrated locomotion behaviors that are as robust or varied as those of humans and animals. Current modelbased controlle...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome in sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SMM). METHODS A retrospective analysis of clinicopathological data from January 1976 to December 2005 was performed. Survival curve, univariate, and multivariate analyses were undertaken. RESULTS Sixty-eight patients with SMM were enrolled; 3 patients refused treatment. The 3-year and 5-year over...

A block (column) wrap-mapping approach for design of parallel block matrix factorization algorithms that are (trans)portable over and between shared memory multiprocessors (SMM) and distributed memory multicomputers (DMM) is presented. By reorganizing the matrix on the SMM architecture, the same ring-oriented algorithms can be used on both SMM and DMM systems with all machine dependencies compr...

Combining direct surface force measurements with in situ regulation of surface potential provides an exceptional opportunity for investigating and manipulating interfacial phenomena. Recently, we studied the interaction between gold and mica surfaces in water with no added salt, while controlling the metal potential, and found that the surface charge at the metal may vary, and possibly even cha...

We present 450 and 850 μm maps of R Coronae Australis. We compare the maps to previous surveys of the region, and shed new light on the previously unknown nature of the protostellar sources at the centre of the cloud. We clarify the nature of two millimetre sources previously discovered in lower resolution data. We identify one new Class 0 protostar that we label SMM 1B, and we measure the enve...
