To elucidate basic mechanisms underlying neurofeedback we investigated neural mechanisms of training of slow cortical potentials (SCPs) by considering EEG- and fMRI. Additionally, we analyzed the feasibility of a double-blind, placebo-controlled design in NF research based on regulation performance during treatment sessions and self-assessment of the participants. Twenty healthy adults particip...

the beet moth, scrobipalpa ocellatella (boyd) (lepidoptera: gelechiidae) is one of the most destructive pests of beet. the insect overwinters as larvae of different instars in beets which are left in the field. supercooling point (scp) of individual larvae showed broad range variation from -6 to -25 °c. in the present study, factors affecting the broad range of scp were investigated. larvae sho...

In this paper, we will introduce the JavaScript compiler for the SCP (Smart Cross Platform) to expand the SCP’s coverage. The SCP is the virtual machine based solution that supports various programming languages and platforms, and its aims are to support programming languages like ISO/IEC C++, Java and Objective C and smartphone platforms such as Android and iOS. By adding the new compiler to S...

In this work we propose space-multimode (SM-SCP-ULA) space-multimode-polarization stacked circular patch uniform linear antenna arrays (SMP-SCP-ULA) for deployment in size-constrained access points, modems and end-user terminal equipments of IEEE 802.11n MIMO-OFDM WLAN systems at 5.8 GHz. The performance gain of higher-order modal SMP-SCP-ULA in terms of spatio-modal power correlations, ergodic...

The water-soluble polysaccharide (SCP) was isolated from Semen Coicis through hot water extraction followed by ethanol precipitation. The polysaccharide was deproteinized by using the Sevag reagent, and the polysaccharide was free of proteins as scan by UV Spectra in 260 nm and 280 nm. In order to evaluate its antioxidant activities, Free radicals scavenging activities on superoxide radicals, h...

The Weighted Set Cover Problem (SCP) is a popular optimization problem that has been applied to different industrial applications, including scheduling, manufacturing, service planning and location problems. It consists in to find low cost solutions covering a set of requirements or needs. In this paper, we solve the SCP using a recent nature inspired algorithm: Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO)...

Aims The impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation in early heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is unknown. Our aim was to determine the AF on symptoms and exercise haemodynamic parameters HFpEF. Methods results Symptomatic patients referred for index ?50% underwent baseline quality life questionnaires, echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, right catheterisa...

This paper describes a simulation of an Intelligent Network (IN) which reflects the actual physical architecture of the network and models the information flows required between network entities in order to execute various IN services. An effective congestion control strategy is implemented with a suitable detection method at the Service Control Point (SCP) and Automatic Code Gapping (ACG) as a...

Wireless intelligent network (WIN) is a network in the mobile environment that supports the use of intelligent network capabilities which is mainly made up of a service control point (SCP) and some mobile switching centers (MSCs). When there are too more incoming services to SCP and MSCs in the WIN simultaneously than they can handle will cause the SCP or MSCs overload and degrades the performa...

We develop an algorithm for solving the stochastic convex program SCP by combining Vaidya s volumetric center interior point method VCM for solv ing non smooth convex programming problems with the Monte Carlo sampling technique to compute a subgradient A near central cut variant of VCM is developed and for this method an approach to perform bulk cut translation and adding multiple cuts is given...
