BACKGROUND In the context of sensory and cognitive-processing deficits in ADHD patients, there is considerable evidence of altered event related potentials (ERP). Most of the studies, however, were done on ADHD children. Using the independent component analysis (ICA) method, ERPs can be decomposed into functionally different components. Using the classification method of support vector machine,...

In this paper, we develop stability, dissipativity, and optimality notions for dynamical systems with discontinuous vector fields. Specifically, we consider dynamical systems with Lebesgue measurable and locally essentially bounded vector fields characterized by differential inclusions involving Filippov set-valued maps specifying a set of directions for the system velocity and admitting Filipp...

This paper proposes an immune concentration based virus detection approach which utilizes a two-element concentration vector to construct the feature. In this approach, ‘self’ and ‘nonself’ concentrations are extracted through ‘self’ and ‘nonself’ detector libraries, respectively, to form a vector with two elements of concentrations for characterizing the program efficiently and fast. Several c...

| We present two compact CMOS integrated circuits for computing the 2D local direction of motion of an image focused directly onto the chip. These circuits incorporate onboard photoreceptors and focal plane motion processing. With fully functional 14 13 and 12 13 implementations consuming less than 50 W per pixel, we conclude that practical pixel resolutions of at least 64 64 are easily achieva...

Given a closed convex cone P with nonempty interior in a locally convex vector space, and a set A ⊂ Y , we provide various equivalences to the implication A ∩ (−int P ) = ∅ =⇒ co(A) ∩ (−int P ) = ∅, among them, to the pointedness of cone(A + int P ). This allows us to establish an optimal alternative theorem, suitable for vector optimization problems. In addition, we characterize the two-dimens...

While characterizing various splice forms of p120 catenin, we observed what appeared to be a novel posttranslational modification of p120, resulting in a higher molecular weight form that was dependent on the splicing pattern. Further investigation revealed the higher molecular weight form to be a fusion protein between sequences encoded by the retroviral vector and p120. We found that the publ...

When characterizing optimal solutions of both scalar and vector optimization problems usually constraint qualifications have to be satisfied. By considering sequential characterizations, given for the first time in vector optimization in this paper, this drawback is eliminated. In order to establish them we give first of all sequential characterizations for a convex composed optimization proble...
