A growing body of evidence suggests that autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are related to altered communication between brain regions. Here, we present findings showing that ASD is characterized by a pattern of reduced functional integration as well as reduced segregation of large-scale brain networks. Twenty-three children with ASD and 25 typically developing matched controls underwent function...

Research has shown the importance of spatial and temporal integration of visual information in motion perception and steering control under reduced visibility conditions. The current study examined the relationship between a 2D shape detection task and a steering control task under reduced visibility conditions for younger drivers. In the 2D shape detection task, the spatial and temporal charac...

In this study, a new switched-capacitor-based seven-level inverter topology with photovoltaic system is presented. The proposed requires smaller number of devices and has the ability to self-balance voltage across capacitor. configuration simple extend higher levels voltage. This multilevel suitable for low- medium-voltage applications (PV) integration. To improve PV efficiency as an input DC–D...

In this work we present an acceleration technique for direct volume rendering, that is based on a preprocessing step. This transforms the original uniform grid into an adaptively reduced tetrahedral grid. The basic idea is to exploit the inherent adaptivity information of the reduced grid for the ray integration with importance sampling. An integration step is always performed from cell face to...
