let ‎x be an ‎‎n-‎‎‎‎‎‎square complex matrix with the ‎cartesian decomposition ‎‎x = a + i ‎b‎‎‎‎‎, ‎where ‎‎a ‎and ‎‎b ‎are ‎‎‎n ‎‎times n‎ ‎hermitian ‎matrices. ‎it ‎is ‎known ‎that ‎‎$vert x vert_p^2 ‎leq 2(vert a vert_p^2 + vert b vert_p^2)‎‎‎$, ‎where ‎‎$‎p ‎‎geq 2‎$‎ ‎and ‎‎$‎‎vert . vert_p$ ‎is ‎the ‎schatten ‎‎‎‎p-norm.‎ ‎‎ ‎‎in this paper‎, this inequality and some of its improvements ...

objectives: joint attention is one of the most important prerequisite of language and social development. there are two types of joint attention, initiating joint attention and responding to joint attention. this study examined the development of responding to joint attention in typically developing children in 8-30 month. methods: this study was cross-sectional. 61 children (40 female and 20 m...

Introduction: Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by deficiencies of clotting factors VIII and IX, respectively. Cartilage degeneration contributes to most of the disease morbidity. Early treatment of hemophilia has been shown to reduce long-term joint morbidity [1]. Novel functional MR imaging techniques hold the potential for being ideal diagnostic and prognostic tools for ass...

In this paper, a calibration method to compensate for changes in SEMG amplitude with joint angle is introduced. Calibration factors were derived from constant amplitude surface electromyogram (SEMG) recordings from the biceps brachii (during elbow flexion) and the triceps brachii (during elbow extension) across seven elbow joint angles. SEMG data were then recorded from the elbow flexors (bicep...

The emergence and re-emergence of plant pathogenic microorganisms are processes that imply perturbations in both host and pathogen ecological niches. Global change is largely assumed to drive the emergence of new etiological agents by altering the equilibrium of the ecological habitats which in turn places hosts more in contact with pathogen reservoirs. In this context, the number of epidemics ...

Boosting strategies are methods of improving the accuracy of a prediction (a classii-cation rule) by combining many weakerr predictions, each of which is only moderately accurate. In this paper we present a concise analysis of the Freund and Shapire's AdaBoost algorithm FS97] from which we derive a new boosting strategy for the regression case which is an extension of the algorithm discussed in...

In this paper, we propose a novel acoustic-to-articulatory mapping model based on mixture of probabilistic canonical correlation analysis (mPCCA). In PCCA, it is assumed that two different kinds of data are observed as results from different linear transforms of a common latent variable. It is expected that this variable represents a common factor which is inherent in the different domains, suc...

Adaptation of domesticated species to diverse agroclimatic regions has led to abundant trait diversity. However, the resulting population structure and genetic heterogeneity confounds association mapping of adaptive traits. To address this challenge in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]-a widely adapted cereal crop-we developed a nested association mapping (NAM) population using 10 diverse g...
