Introduction: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of pectin supplementation and 14 weeks of endurance training on the serum atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels and lipid profile of obese pregnant mice. Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 40 female laboratory mice (mean weight: 30+5 g...

The Comparison Effect of the Positive Thinking Traning with and without Written Disclosure Acceptance Commitment Therapy on Perceived Stress in Women Breast Cancer

Surgical training systems based on virtual reality (VR) and simulation techniques may represent a more cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional training methods. This paper describes a training system ESSO of virtual arthroscopic knee surgery. It is developed as a joint project between the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Tsinghua University. An overview of the current state o...

As potential candidates for human cognition, connectionist models of sentence processing must learn to behave systematically by generalizing from a small traning set. It was recently shown that Elman networks and, to a greater extent, echo state networks (ESN) possess limited ability to generalize in artificial language learning tasks. We study this capacity for the recently introduced recursiv...

Fundamental characteristics of successive lerarning by Test Feature Classifier(TFC), which is non-parametric and effective with small data, are examined. In the learning, a new set of training objects, they are fed into the classifier in order to obtain a modified classifier. We propose an efficient algorithm for reconstruction of prime test features, which are combinaton feature subsets for ge...
