Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is aimed at identifying current subject task performed by a person as a result of analyzing data from wearable sensors. HAR is a very challenging task that has been applied in different areas such as rehabilitation, localization, etc. During the past ten years, plenty of models, number of sensors and sensor placements, and feature transformations have been repor...

doppler-derived myocardial performance index (mpi), defined as the sum of isovolumetric contraction and relaxation durations divided by ejection time, is an easily measured and reproducible index that shows both systolic and diastolic myocardial function. the goal of this study was to define normal values of right ventricular (rv) mpi in neonates in the first 48 to 72 hours of life. fifty-one q...

The cellular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of hormone resistance remain unclear. Studies evaluating the role of changes in human androgen receptor (hAR) expression in the progression of prostatic tumors have been inconclusive. Androgenic influence over prostatic growth is mediated via the regulation of interactions between stromal and epithelial cells. We hypothesized that neoplastic tr...

Direct evidence that hyperglycemia, rather than concomitant increases in known risk factors, induces atherosclerosis is lacking. Most diabetic mice do not exhibit a higher degree of atherosclerosis unless the development of diabetes is associated with more severe hyperlipidemia. We hypothesized that normal mice were deficient in a gene that accelerated atherosclerosis with diabetes. The gene en...

Androgen receptor (hAR) regulates transcription of target genes in a ligand-dependent manner and recruits a number of co-activators for the ligand-induced transactivation via the N-terminal, activation function-1 (AF-1), and C-terminal, AF-2, transactivation domains. But the co-regulator functions on each of AR domains have not yet been fully understood. We have established a Drosophila transge...

I dette foredraget vil vi presentere et prosjekt som nettopp har kommet i gang, og som har fått NOK 1 000 000 fra NorFA til et nordisk nettverk. Prosjektet har to siktemål som henger nøye sammen. Det ene er å bygge nettverk mellom fire forskningsog utviklingsmiljøer ved UiO (Tekstlaboratoriet), UiB (HIT-senteret), GU (Språkdata) og CST. Det andre er praktisk: å utvikle en automatisk navnegjenkj...

This research investigates the role of high-frequency data in volatility forecasting China stock market by particularly feeding different frequency return series directly into a large number GARCH versions. The contributions this are as follows. 1) We provide clear evidence to support that superiority traditional time models remains taking advantage data. 2) incorporate distribution assumptions...

background: the right ventricular (rv) dyssynchrony has not been studied extensively and the existing literature has established the effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt) on the left ventricular (lv) dyssynchrony, but there is a dearth of data on the effect of crt on the forgotten ventricle . we sought to evaluate the presence of mechanical right ventricular dyssynchrony in patients...

Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR) is a novel X-ray structure refinement technique that employs aspherical atomic scattering factors obtained from stockholder partitioning of a theoretically determined tailor-made static electron density. HAR overcomes many of the known limitations of independent atom modelling (IAM), such as too short element-hydrogen distances, r(X-H), or too large atomic displa...
