Ice hockey is a sport enjoyed by many young people. The occurrence of injury can offset what may otherwise be a positive experience. A high proportion of injuries in hockey appear to result from intentional body contact or the practice of checking. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting checking in hockey players 15 years of age and younger as a means to reduce injuries. Strateg...

Network packet tracing has been used for many different purposes during the last few decades, such as network software debugging, networking performance analysis, forensic investigation, and so on. Meanwhile, the size of packet traces becomes larger, as the speed of network rapidly increases. Thus, to handle huge amounts of traces, we need not only more hardware resources, but also efficient so...

In previous work with a neural-network model of boundary segmentation and reset, the percept of persistence was linked to the duration of a boundary segmentation after stimulus offset. In particular, the model simulated the decrease of persistence duration with an increase in stimulus duration and luminance. Further evidence is revealed for the neural mechanisms involved in the theory. Simulati...

In an OFDMA system, different carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) are possibly raised due to the mismatch of local oscillators and the Doppler effect because of multiple-antenna channels. In spite of an initial CFO synchronization scheme able to be applied at transmitters, the compensation of residual CFOs is required at the receiver in order to eliminate the inter-carrier interference (ICI) for i...

The effect of Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and Benzyladenine (BA) on Aloe vera was evaluated at pot cultivation conditions. This study was performed in two factorial test based on complete random plan and 4 repeats with 12 treatments. The main factor was included spraying, drip and spraying + drip. Secondary factor was included concentrations of GA3 and BA at 0, 100...

Template attacks and machine learning are two powerful methods in the field of side channel attacks. In this paper, we aimed to contribute to the novel application of support vector machine (SVM) algorithm in power analysis attacks. Especially, wavelet SVM can approximate arbitrary nonlinear functions due to the multidimensional analysis of wavelet functions and the generalization of SVM. Three...

Identifying wait states in event traces of message-passing applications requires measuring temporal displacements between concurrent events. In the absence of synchronized hardware clocks, linear interpolation techniques can already account for differences in offset and drift, assuming that the drift of an individual processor is not time dependant. However, inaccuracies and drifts varying in t...

investigating a hadith narrated from the fifth shi‘a imam (abu ja‘far muhammad al-baqir) in two quranic commentaries of al-tibyan and majma‘al-bayan, the present essay finds its origin in al-masabih fi tafsir al-qur’an by abu al-qasim wazir maghribi (370-418 a.h.). wazir maghribi attributes that hadith to abu ja‘far in an ambiguous way. however, that hadith is neither narrated in shiite books o...
