The second somatosensory area (SlI) has been studied both by electrical evoked potentials24 and magnetoencephalography (MEG)5 Magnetic evoked fields of contralateral primary somatosensory and ipsilateral second somatosensory cortices of 12 normal subjects were recorded in response to median nerve electrical stimulation by means of a single magnetometer. We detected. in addition to the usua...

Context-aware services platforms aim at supporting the handling of contextual information in order to provide better user-tailored services. This paper proposes a novel services platform architecture to support mobile context-aware applications, giving emphasis to the configurability of the platform’s generic functionality. The paper introduces concepts and a language to cope with configurabili...

We investigate the deformation induced by water pressure variations in hydrologicallyactive natural fractures, and recorded by tiltmeters and strainmeters. The deformation associated with a single fracture is derived using finite-element modeling (FEM). A range in fracture geometries is explored, first to highlight the sensitivity of each geometrical parameter to the deformation, and secondly t...

T HE prothrombic activity of plasma, as measured by the one-stage method, decreases as plasma ages (x-3) because of deterioration of ‘labile factor’ necessary for the rapid conversion of prothrombin to thrombin by thromboplastin plus calcium. When, however, determinations are made by a modified procedure in which the test plasma is first diluted with pdkombin-free fresh plasma, the aged plasma ...

holoprosencephaly is a rare congenital brain malformation resulting from failure of diverticulation and cleavage of primitive prosencephalon which occurs at 4 - 8th week of gestation and is usually associated with multiple midline facial anomalies. it is the most common forebrain developmental anomaly in humans with prevalence of 1/16,000 in live borns, an incidence as high as 1:250 in conceptu...

We address the task of monocular visual head tracking in the context of applications that involve human-robot interactions, where both near field and far field tracking settings could occur and real-time constraints are imposed. The original contribution of this paper is a real-time multiperson tracking model that combines a priori texture and colour models for different head poses with face de...

We developed an EXpectation Propagation LOgistic REgRession (EXPLORER) model for distributed privacy-preserving online learning. The proposed framework provides a high level guarantee for protecting sensitive information, since the information exchanged between the server and the client is the encrypted posterior distribution of coefficients. Through experimental results, EXPLORER shows the sam...
