introduction: in this study we compared transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms) elicited motor evoked potentials (meps) in a postural (bilateral low back extension: blbe) and a respiratory (forced expiration during breath holding: febh) task.methods: using tms of the left motor cortex, simultaneous patterns of corticospinal facilitation of the contralateral erector spinae (es) and rectus abdomi...

Main methods, algorithms and applications of the Variable Neighborhood Search metaheuristic are surveyed, in view of a chapter of the Encyclopedia of Optimization.

The existing works point out that smaller organisations have been shown to have different technology adoption patterns than large ones. However, it is unclear whether Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and large organisations take decisions for the adoption of integration technologies by focusing on different factors. Moreover, the literature also shows that there is an absence of theoret...

This paper studies a principal-agent model of the relationship between officeholder and the electorate, where everyone is initially uninformed about the officeholder’s ability. If office-holder effort and ability interact in the determination of performance in office, then an office-holder has an incentive to learn i.e. raise effort so that performance becomes a more accurate signal of her abil...

Coronal loops are the basic elements of the solar corona and are responsible for the totality of the coronal X-ray emission. Loop physics is therefore important to understand the structure, heating, dynamics and evolution of the corona. A well-established and useful approach to study loop physics has been the detailed hydrodynamic modeling of the connned plasma, coupled to the synthesis of obse...

Observations of the large two-ribbon flare on 7 November 2004 made using SOHO and TRACE data are interpreted in terms of a three-dimensional magnetic field model. Photospheric flux evolution indicates that −1.4 × 10 Mx of magnetic helicity was injected into the active region during the 40-hour build-up prior to the flare. The magnetic model places a lower bound of 8×10 ergs on the energy stored...

This study aims to establish a hedonic model for office space rents in Istanbul using dataset of 2348 spaces. The includes information on and building characteristics, as well lease, locational, neighborhood characteristics that influence rent. To analyze the relationship between rent these determinants, we utilized semiparametric geoadditive allows functional form flexibility captures location...
