In this paper the main objective is to quantify and compare the instantaneous value of heart rate for normal breathing patterns during Meditation and Non Meditation conditions. This paper involves Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique for the analysis of the heart rate variability patterns during the meditative and non meditative states. The analysis is divided into three stages i.e. data acqu...

GENE EXPRESSION IS A NOISY STOCHASTIC PROCESS, SINCE IT INVOLVES AT ITS CORE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN SINGLE MOLECULES: a polymerase and a binding site. However, many biological processes directly dependent upon gene expression are reliable. Prominent among them is morphogenesis: how are body parts so consistently generated and proportioned? In the early embryo, gradients of certain proteins called...

We present the results of the first systematic study of correlated variability in the X-ray emission and the parsec-scale radio structure of the ‘superluminal’ quasar 3C 345. This quasar is one of a class of core-dominated flat-spectrum radio sources which are believed to emit X-rays via the synchrotrons self-Compton process. By studying its variability in X-rays, we can test this hypothesis fo...

Traditionally, in software engineering, development happens for single products. This is a very inefficient approach in cases where groups of products are related. Software product line engineering [1] is about systematically developing families of related products together, as a product line. The products within a product line usually have many things in common, but also significant difference...

The proposed contribution of glucose variability to the development of the complications of diabetes beyond that of glycemic exposure is supported by reports that oxidative stress, the putative mediator of such complications, is greater for intermittent as opposed to sustained hyperglycemia. Variability of glycemia in ambulatory conditions defined as the deviation from steady state is a phenome...

Orthodontic treatment is routinely described to last, on average, 24 months. Nonetheless, every orthodontist has already experienced that this time length shows huge variability, depending on several factors that are inherent to the operator, the patient, scientific knowledge and mastering of the mechanics used in orthodontic movement. It is very likely that there is something else, something s...

The global climate system is composed of a number of subsystems F atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere F each of which has a distinct characteristic time, from days and weeks to centuries and millennia. Each subsystem, moreover, has its own internal variability, all other things being constant, over a fairly broad range of time scales. These ranges overlap between one...

The aim of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive description of the notion of variability modeling in the context of software product line engineering and to give an overview of the techniques proposed for variability modeling. Since its first introduction in 1990, feature modeling [1] has been the most popular technique to model commonality and variability (C&V) of products of a product l...

abstract the quality of soil maps depends upon their ability to show the soils variability. thus, the accuracy of the maps used for crop recommendations is due to the accuracy of soil maps. this study was performed to investigate the amount of soil properties and crop yield spatial variability in s 2 and s3 units of a semi-detailed quantitative suitability map (1:50000 scale) for irrigated whea...

introduction: transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms) is a useful tool for assessment of corticospinal excitability (cse) changes in both healthy individuals and patients with brain disorders. the usefulness of tms-elicited motor evoked potentials (meps) for the assessment of cse in a clinical context depends on their intra-and inter-session reliability. this study aimed to evaluate if removal ...
