The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between linear and non-linear activities in human electroencephalograms (EEGs) by examining the linear lateral asymmetry index and the correlation dimension as a non-linear measure of complexity and to typify the characteristics of EEGs between schizophrenic patients and normal controls. We recorded the EEG from 16 electrodes in 10...

The present study was undertaken to assess the skeletal craniofacial asymmetry in South Indian population by a posteroanterior cephalometric radiographic method. The skeletal craniofacial structures on one side of the face were compared with that of the other, by drawing various triangles representing different craniofacial regions. The sample consisted of 60 subjects (30 males and 30 females) ...

Objectives: Fear of falling (FOF) is a common complication after stroke affecting gait and balance performance in individuals with a history of stroke. The current study aimed at determining the influence of the level of FOF on gait and balance performance after chronic stroke. Methods: A total of 76 persons with chronic stroke (including 41 women), who had no cognitive impairment and could wa...

Maintaining the body underwater in the so-called vertical position, where the body is inverted (head down) and balanced, is made possible by performing the support scull movement by the upper limbs. In synchronized swimming, the main criteria for judging this vertical position are maintaining body stability and the maximum height of the lower limbs one is able to extend out of the water. Theref...

We establish a quantitative isoperimetric inequality in higher codimension. In particular, we prove that for any closed (n − 1)-dimensional manifold Γ in Rn+k the following inequality D(Γ) ≥ Cd(Γ) holds true. Here, D(Γ) stands for the isoperimetric gap of Γ, i.e. the deviation in measure of Γ from being a round sphere and d(Γ) denotes a natural generalization of the Fraenkel asymmetry index of ...

information asymmetry is a negative event that gives manager incentives to use his private information to attempt transferring wealth from investors by overstating financial performance and consequently, stock prices during his tenure at the firm. the manipulations generate agency costs. conservative reporting is a mechanism that reduces the managers’ ability to manipulate and overstate financi...

the main goal of this paper is determining the link between information asymmetry among equity investors and conservatism in financial reporting. becouse we argu that information asymmetry between equeity investors generates accounting conservatism in financial statements. conservatism reduces the manager's incentives and ability to manipulate accounting numbers and so reduces agency costs...

in this article, we estimate the vertical price transmission through the iranian rice marketing chain by usingmonthly data from march 2000 to february, 2009 and error correction model (ecm).the causality testresults indicate that changes in the producer price clearly led changes in wholesale and retail prices. inproducer-retail and wholesale-retail models, price transmission is asymmetric but i...

in the present work, we have obtained the equation of state for neutron star matter considering the in uence of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin state. we have also investigated the structure of neutron stars. according to our results, the spin asymmetry stiens the equation of state and leads to high mass for the neutron star.
