Single-unit activities of the bulbar reticular inspiratory neurons directly projecting to hypoglossal motoneurons were studied during fictive ingestion (e.g., swallowing) and rejection elicited by repetitive stimulation of the superior laryngeal nerve and by application of water to the pharynx in immobilized decerebrated cats. The single-unit activity was recorded during 113 episodes of fictive...

One of the focused themes in data mining research is to discover frequent and repetitive patterns from the data. The success of frequent pattern mining (Han, Cheng, Xin, & Yan, 2007) in structured data (e.g., transaction data) and semi-structured data (e.g., text) has recently aroused our curiosity in applying them to multimedia data. Given a collection of unlabeled images , videos or audios, t...

Abstract Marine operations required to transfer technicians and equipment represent a significant proportion of the total cost offshore wind. The profile sites being considered for floating wind farms (FOWFs), e.g., further from shore in harsher environments, indicates that these costs need be assessed by taking into account maintenance requirements restricted weather windows. There is an immed...

Defining properly the time distribution of a steady-state process is crucial to its management. A common practice assume that process-time normally distributed for repetitive processes (process has constant work-content), and exponentially non-repetitive (memoryless; no characteristic work-content). This dichotomous distinction ignores majority processes, residing in between two extreme scenari...

Construction sites are considered as complicated work environments. Various concurrent activities may overlap apropos to time and workspace, predisposing them spatial–temporal exposure repetitive accidents. Detecting the characteristics of accidents before construction stage contributes prevent injuries fatalities caused by spatial—temporal conditions at job sites. To resolve this problem, stud...

We have isolated and characterized a family of interspersed repetitive elements which make up about 1% of the mouse genome. The elements represent a group of homologous but non-identical units about 400 bp in length. Individual members of the family show considerable divergence from one another. The spacial relationships between members of the family and a number of other identified mouse seque...
