TES (Transform-Expand-Sample) is a versatile class of random sequences defined via an autoregressive scheme with modulo-1 reduction and additional transformations. The scope of TES encompasses a wide variety of sample path behaviors, which in turn give rise to autocorrelation functions with diverse functional forms — monotone, oscillatory, alternating and others. TES sequences are readily gener...

To clarify the excitability of spinal motor neuron function after transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES), we investigated the F-wave before and after TES. Fourteen healthy volunteers with a mean age of 23.4 years were studied. TES was applied to the flexor hallucis brevis (FHB) for 15 minutes. F-wave and M-wave were recorded from the FHB after tibial nerve stimulation at the ankle before T...

MOTIVATION The high content of repetitive sequences in the genomes of many higher eukaryotes renders the task of annotating them computationally intensive. Presently, the only widely accepted method of searching and annotating transposable elements (TEs) in large genomic sequences is the use of the RepeatMasker program, which identifies new copies of TEs by pairwise sequence comparisons with a ...

Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) is being used more frequently by speech-language pathologists to treat individuals with dysphagia since the advent of VitalStim ® . Anecdotal reports suggest changes in voice quality associated with TES. This study was completed to examine acoustic measures of voice change in normal speakers following TES. Thirty speakers with normal voices, ages 19-5...

[1] The Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) is an infrared, high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer which was launched onboard NASA’s Aura satellite in 2004 and is providing global, vertically resolved measurements of ozone in the troposphere. TES version 2 (V002) data profiles have been validated in the troposphere and lower stratosphere by way of comparison to ozonesondes and airc...

[1] We have conducted an observing system simulation experiment for the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) satellite instrument to determine the potential of nadir retrievals of carbon monoxide (CO) from this instrument to constrain estimates of continental sources of CO. We use the GEOS-CHEM global chemical transport model to produce a pseudoatmosphere in which the relationship between s...

Throughout evolution, eukaryotic genomes have been invaded by transposable elements (TEs). Little is known about the factors leading to genomic proliferation of TEs, their preferred integration sites and the molecular mechanisms underlying their insertion. We analyzed hundreds of thousands nested TEs in the human genome, i.e. insertions of TEs into existing ones. We first discovered that most T...

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that can mobilize within host genomes. As TEs comprise more than 40% of the human genome and are linked to numerous diseases, understanding their mechanisms of mobilization and regulation is important. Drosophila melanogaster is an ideal model organism for the study of eukaryotic TEs as its genome contains a diverse array of active TEs. TE...

We studied the effects of non-pain transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) and pain-eliciting TES on vibration-induced finger flexion reflex (VFR) in 12 healthy volunteers. Tonic finger flexion reflex in the upper limb was induced by the application of vibratory stimulation on the volar side of the middle fingertip in the right hand before and after TES. Non-pain TES or pain-eliciting TES w...

We present in this paper an alternative retrieval algorithm for the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) tropospheric Carbon Monoxide (CO) products using the Optimal Estimation (OE) technique, which is different from the AIRS operational algorithm. The primary objective for this study was to compare AIRS CO, as well as the other retrieval properties such as the Averaging Kernels (AKs), the Degre...
