Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons Volume 12 Number 2 Summer 2007 34 Development of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has opened awhole newwindow on the brain. Patients with severely impaired consciousness, who were previously thought to be incapable of cognitive or sensory function, have been found, with the use of fMRI, to have stimulus-activated cortical networks, despite...

The new materials in public art installations give the birth to interactivity and participation, which in turn, introduces new challenges, not only in the creative design process, but also in how to involve the participants in this process and in evaluating the targeted experience such as such as social connectedness and inclusion. Six design cases are presented, as examples for interactive and...

Many control devices produce movements that can be described as compatible, that is, movement of the control in one direction results in a congruent movement in the system. However, not all devices adhere to this direct relationship between control movement and system response. This study investigates age and practice effects on error and reaction times for a real-world vehicle steering system ...

in this paper, sufficient conditions for the existence ofcommon fixed points for a compatible pair of self maps of gregustype in the framework of convex metric spaces have been obtained.also, established the existence of common fixed points for a pair ofcompatible mappings of type (b) and consequently for compatiblemappings of type (a). the proved results generalize and extend someof the well k...
