Vasileios Lioutas, MD Jose R. Romero, MD Michael S. Kleinman, DO James W. Wang, MD Michael D. Perloff, MD, PhD SECTION 1 A 54-year-old man with history of poorly controlled hypertension and hyperlipidemia presented with right arm and leg weakness while exercising. Onset was preceded by a few minutes of acute, right-sided, “stabbing” neck pain. He had no dysarthria, facial weakness, visual distu...

Temporal codes and neural temporal processing architectures (neural timing nets) that potentially subserve perception of pitch and rhythm are discussed. We address 1) properties of neural interspike interval representations that may underlie basic aspects of musical tonality (e.g. octave similarities), 2) implementation of pattern-similarity comparisons between interval representations using fe...

Studies of coordination in rhythmic limb movement have established that certain phase relationships among cycling limbs are preferred, i.e. patterns such as synchrony and anti-synchrony are produced more often and more reliably than arbitrary relations. A speech experiment in which subjects attempt to place a phrase-medial stress at a range of phases within an overall phrase repetition cycle is...

repetition figure of speech is one of the aesthetic and technical aspects of the holy quran. there are stories of quran which are repeated in other surahs. the story of moses & pharaoh is one of the most frequent ones. this repetition occurs weather through bringing examples from the story which are in accordance with the situation or by quoting some parts of it. this repetition adds to the tec...

In this paper we present beat histogram features for multiple level rhythm description and evaluate them in a musical genre classification task. Audio features pertaining to various musical content categories and their related novelty functions are extracted as a basis for the creation of beat histograms. The proposed features capture not only amplitude, but also tonal and general spectral chan...

this study describes the prevalence of cardiac dysrhythmias occurring over a single 24 h period in ponies and compares the heart rate and frequency of dysrhythmias in two groups of ponies of different ages. electrocardiograms were recorded using a holter monitoring system from twenty four ponies aged less than 15-year-old (n = 14) and greater than 15-year-old (n = 10). subsequent analyses of ca...

The necessity of a therapy allowing aphasics to be rehabilitated quickly in social life urged us to adapt a therapeutic strategy developed in the USA and implemented in France under `therapie melodique et rythmee`. This model of language therapy has been destined to aphasics with good auditory comprehension and emotional stability despite severe language impairment. A careful evaluation of the ...

Optical sensors used in clinical applications have gained great popularity over the last few decades, especially the photoplethysmographic (PPG) technique used in estimating arterial blood oxygen saturation in the well-known medical devices called pulse oximeters. In this study we investigate the photoplethysmogram further in an effort to understand its origin better, as there is a significant ...

Behaviors ranging from delivering newspapers to waiting tables depend on remembering previous episodes to avoid incorrect repetition. Physiologically, this requires mechanisms for long-term storage and selective retrieval of episodes based on the time of occurrence, despite variable intervals and similarity of events in a familiar environment. Here, this process has been modeled based on the ph...
