background: patellofemoral pain syndrome (pfps) is one of the most frequent causes of anterior knee pain in adolescents and adults. this disorder can have a big effect on patients’ ability and quality of life and gait.   methods: this review included all articles published during 1990 to 2016. an extensive literature search was performed in databases of science direct, google scholar, pubmed an...

1. Simple cells in cat striate cortex were studied with a number of stimulation paradigms to explore the extent to which linear mechanisms determine direction selectivity. For each paradigm, our aim was to predict the selectivity for the direction of moving stimuli given only the responses to stationary stimuli. We have found that the prediction robustly determines the direction and magnitude o...

A method for controlling low-order chaotic behavior of continuous spatiotemporal systems is developed and demonstrated in a complex, realistic 3D partial differential equation model that is used successfully for predicting El Niño events in the equatorial Pacific. An unstable periodic orbit that involves a full-domain oscillation is stabilized using a feedback control applied to a single degree...

In view of the influence large-scale electric vehicle access to distribution network on spatial load prediction, this paper proposes a prediction method for urban considering and temporal charging load. Firstly, vehicles are classified according mode travel characteristics various types vehicles. Secondly, probability function is fitted rules survey statistical data residents. Then, model chain...

We show how a recently introduced statistic [Patil et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 5878 (2001)] provides a direct relationship between dimension and predictability in spatiotemporal chaotic systems. Regions of low dimension are identified as having high predictability and vice versa. This conclusion is reached by using methods from dynamical systems theory and Bayesian modeling. In this work we em...
