High-dimensional data can occur in actual cases where the variable p is larger than number of observations n. The problem that often occurs when adding dimensions indicates points will approach an outlier. Outliers are part do not follow distribution pattern and located far from center. existence outliers needs to be detected because it lead deviations analysis results. One methods used detect ...

National Cadet Corps (N.C.C.) were tested for assessing their physical efficiency level with special reference to respiratory performances. The height and weight of the cadets from hilly and plain areas were noted to be similar indicating alike attainment of growth. The mean values of all pulmonary function tests (FVC, IC, ERV+TV, FEV1, MEFR) except MVV were observed to be similar in both the g...

PURPOSE: Abnormal breathing patterns, decrease in respiratory muscle strength and endurance are some of the alterations, which observed non-specific low back pain (NS-LBP). The purpose this study was to determine efficacy Feldenkrais method (FM) on strength, Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV), Total Faulty Breathing Scale (TFBS), Cloth Tape Measure (CTM) core stability among NS-LBP participant...

In modern activities such as banking, homeland security, information transportation, telecommunication, etc., people work with large and high dimension data sets. But, the higher the dimension the higher the probability that outliers will be present in the data sets. The ability to detect outliers in high dimension multivariate data sets is a challenging task. In this circumstance, robust estim...

BACKGROUND Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting both the upper and lower motor neurons. Deteriorating pulmonary function as a reflection of progressive respiratory muscle weakness is a common feature, accounting for the majority of deaths. The aim of the study was to describe a trend in initial pulmonary function tests (PFT) of amyotrophic la...

Maedi-visna virus (MVV) is a lentivirus of sheep sharing several key features with the primate lentiviruses. The virus causes slowly progressive diseases, mainly in the lungs and the central nervous system of sheep. Here, we investigate the molecular basis for the differential growth phenotypes of two MVV isolates. One of the isolates, KV1772, replicates well in a number of cell lines and is hi...

OBJECTIVES To compare pulmonary function measures, maximal respiratory pressure and fatigue of respiratory muscles between patients with Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS) and controls. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PATIENTS Patients with PPS (N = 12; age 62.1±11.6 years) able to walk for 6 minutes without human assistance; age-matched controls with no history of polio or pulmonary dysfunction (N = ...
