Sampling rate conversion (SRC) is one of important issues in modern sampling theory. It can be realized by up-sampling, filtering, and down-sampling operations, which need large complexity. Although some efficient algorithms have been presented to do the sampling rate conversion, they all need to compute the N-point original signal to obtain the up-sampling or the down-sampling signal in the tim...

background: the effects of electromagnetic field (emf) on reproductive system have been of critical concern for a long time. it has been shown that the emf can adversely affect testicular cells and tissue and decrease male fertility. the most important determinants of male fertility are sperm development and motility, which are affected by changes in several factors including lipocalin 2 protei...

Many useful XML transformations can be formulated through deterministic top-down tree transducers. A canonical form for such transducers is presented which allows to decide equivalence of their induced transformations in polynomial time. If the transducer is total, the canonical form can be obtained in polynomial time as well.

Observers commonly report that time seems to have moved in slow motion during a life-threatening event. It is unknown whether this is a function of increased time resolution during the event, or instead an illusion of remembering an emotionally salient event. Using a hand-held device to measure speed of visual perception, participants experienced free fall for 31 m before landing safely in a ne...

Any episode of learning and teaching is necessarily situated in both space and time. But, whereas the spatial arrangement of the classroom remains relatively constant, change is the very essence of the learning that takes place within it. Such is the nature of the data to be examined in this paper. The same curriculum unit was taught by the same teacher to a fourth-grade class in four successiv...

When objects in a visual scene are positioned in close proximity, eye movements to these objects tend to land at an intermediate location between the objects (i.e., the global effect). This effect is most pronounced for short latency saccades and is therefore believed to be reflexive and dominantly controlled by bottom-up information. At longer latencies this effect can be modulated by top-down...

objective: the present study was carried out to study the relationship between sensation seeking and social skills in two groups of school age patients down-syndrome (ds) and autism disorder (ds).  methods: this is a descriptive-analytic and correlation study in which all participants were of primary school age (10 to 13 years) with down-syndrome and autism disorder of autism spectrum disorder ...

conclusion the low prevalence of the nb absence in normal fetuses in the present study is compatible with the larger size of the nb in iranian people compared to other communities. meanwhile, the reference range of the nb length in normal iranian fetuses was established so that basic data could be recorded for further studies regarding the absence or presence of the nb in screening for chromoso...
