The process of sensorimotor adaptation is considered to be driven by errors. While sensory prediction errors, defined as the difference between the planned and the actual movement of the cursor, drive implicit learning processes, target errors (e.g., the distance of the cursor from the target) are thought to drive explicit learning mechanisms. This distinction was mainly studied in the context ...

Volvo IT Belgium has provided real-life datasets for the need of the Third International Business Process Intelligence Challenge, in the form of event logs generated by the VINST system used across the Volvo corporation to support incident and problem handling. Volvo has also pointed 4 aspects of their business operations they would like to be scrutinized. 1) Are the incidents contained within ...

Accepted 18 December 2017 DesCripTion Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is much prevalent in low/middle-income country like India with the prevalence ranging from 0.2 to 1.1/1000 for RHD and from 0.0007 to 0.2/1000 for rheumatic fever. Factors that precipitate the formation of clot are atrial fibrillation (AF) rhythm, left atrial (LA) size, duration of symptoms, advanced age and severity of mitral ...

Locating contents is an essential function, but it presents a very diÆcult and challenging problem for large-scale Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems. Many P2P systems, protocols, architectures, and search strategies are proposed for this problem. In this paper, we focus on the selforganization of a community structure based on user preferences for P2P systems. We propose these methods to improve P2P s...

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) suppress transposon activity in animal germ cells. In the Drosophila ovary, primary Aubergine (Aub)-bound antisense piRNAs initiate the ping-pong cycle to produce secondary AGO3-bound sense piRNAs. This increases the number of secondary Aub-bound antisense piRNAs that can act to destroy transposon mRNAs. Here we show that Krimper (Krimp), a Tudor-domain protein, d...

Micromouse and robotic ping pong have been interesting mechatronic applications for the past decade or more. Recently a number of educational institutions around the world have started using these two ‘fun’ robotic ideas as a basis for a more structured approach to robotic engineering education. At City Polytechnic of Hong Kong regular project work using micromouse has been going on for a numbe...

To simplify the programming of hierarchical and distributed-memory parallel systems, the notion of shared virtual memory (SVM) has been proposed. This abstraction provides the programmer with the illusion of a at global address space and coherence is maintained at the page level. The success of this abstraction depends on the eeciency of page management. This in turn depends on the eeciency of ...

A set of small RNAs known as rasRNAs (repeat-associated small RNAs) have been related to the down-regulation of Transposable Elements (TEs) to safeguard genome integrity. Two key members of the rasRNAs group are piRNAs and endo-siRNAs. We have performed a comparative analysis of piRNAs and endo-siRNAs present in mouse oocytes, spermatozoa and zygotes, identified by deep sequencing and bioinform...
