BACKGROUND Different genome wide association methods (GWAS) including multivariate analysis techniques were applied to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) and pleiotropy in the simulated data set provided by the QTL-MAS workshop 2012 held in Alghero (Italy). METHODS Genetic correlations and heritabilities for all three quantitative traits were obtained by a multivariate animal model. In a ...

Abstract This paper proposed a new voltage-boosting 13-level switched-capacitor (SC) cost-effective inverter. The topology comprises fourteen transistors, three capacitors and single DC source to produce staircase waveform. capacitor voltage balancing problem is inherently solved by the series/parallel technique. Structural description, working principle, calculation of optimum values capacitan...

Although research supports the use of whole-body vibration (WBV) to improve neuromuscular performance, the mechanisms for these improvements remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of WBV on the spectral properties of electrically evoked H-reflex recordings in the soleus (SOL) muscle. The H-reflex recordings were measured in the SOL muscle of 20 participants before ...

The goal of this study was to compare how multivariate statistical methods for dimension reduction account for correlations between simultaneously recorded neurons. Here, we describe applications of principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA) (Cardoso J-F, Souloumiac A. IEE-Proc F 1993;140:362-70; Hyvarinen A, Oja E. Neural Comput 1997;9:1483-92; Lee TW, Girolami...

In 2008, several principal component analyses (PCAs) applied on Background. 660,918 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 938 individuals from 51 worldwide populations of the Human Genome Diversity Panel were published by Li PCAs were applied on subsets of individuals sharing a common et al. geographic origin and showed that in several geographic regions, genome-wide variations of SNPs ...

Multi-subject or group-level component analysis provides a data-driven approach to study properties of brain networks. Algorithms for group-level data decomposition of functional magnetic resonance imaging data have been brought forward more than a decade ago and have significantly matured since. Similar applications for electroencephalographic data are at a comparatively early stage of develop...

As software engineering continues to adopt a component-based approach toward the construction of increasingly complex software architectures, the need to assess the compatibility and interoperability of the individual software components is becoming critical during the integration phase of the software production process [5], [9]. This assessment includes performance analysis of integrated syst...
