1 . IN T R O D U C T IO N Ergonomics, which focuses on the design of human–machine systems with respect to requisite compatibility between the users, products, systems, and environments, is often faced with the complex and uncertain relationships between human characteristics, various artifacts, and human activity requirements (Karwowski 1991). Investigation of such relationships must take into...

Aromatic triazoles are known to be effective antifungal agents. The generally accepted mode of action entails inhibition of ergosterol in the membrane. A hypothesis is presented herein based on Electron Transfer (ET), Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Oxidative Stress (OS) which may be a unifying mechanism. Many substances in vivo are known to operate in a multifaceted manner. A prior article p...

Quantifying similarity and dissimilarity of spike trains is an important requisite for understanding neural codes. Spike metrics constitute a class of approaches to this problem. In contrast to most signal-processing methods, spike metrics operate on time series of all-or-none events, and are, thus, particularly appropriate for extracellularly recorded neural signals. The spike metric approach ...
