Contrary to sigmoidal response hypothesized previously for ramped stimulus, we observed opposite pattern i.e. inverse sigmoid pattern in BOLD response. A new biophysical model was proposed to account for this non-linearity. We found that the non-linear model showed improved r2 which is an indicator of good ness of fit for a model. This would suggest that the new proposed model better describes the BOLD response. We then investigated the age long variation in the fitted parameters in BOLD…

̂_i=∑_(j=1)^k▒〖w_ij∙y_j 〗. The kriging weights can be calculated by the following linear equations, Where the is a control variable, which is used to make sure that ∑_(j=1)^k▒w_ij =1. V_rs=α+exp(-3/β D(z ⃑_r,z ⃑_s,λ)),r,s=1,2,3,…,k, D_ij=α+exp(-3/β D(x ⃑_i,z ⃑_j,λ)),j=1,2,3,…,k, The D(.) function is the distance function mentioned in the clustering section,α≥0 and β≥0 are two parameters. The above linear equation system has a unique solution because D(z ⃑_r,z ⃑_s,λ)>0 for all r,s=1,2,3…
Introduction What is innovation? A using of new ideas to products, processes and other aspects of a firm activities lead to an increasing in value of the firm, benefits to customers or other enterprise, this situation is called innovation. A key issue to distinguish innovation, bringing a truly novel item that is produced by new techniques and designs into market; this item can be new to the firm, new to relevant market. Moreover, whether relevant market is domestic or global market is based…
Eq.\ref{Bi} is a projection of the attribute vector $I_i$ in the eigenspace spanned by the first $k_c$ eigenbackgrounds, being $\textbf{b}$ the coefficient vector of the combination. In the standard EIG method the number of eigenbackgrounds retained $k_c$ is chosen by fixing a threshold for the last eigenvalue $\lambda_{k_c}$ retained. The background obtained $B_i$ are then subtracted to the original image and a moving object is identified as the regions of the images in which $I_i-B_i$ is…
Data analysis method First, using Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test to examine the normality of the variables in each of the hypotheses and assumptions of one to five using regression analysis and using software Spss18 and then fourth hypothesis using structural equation modeling (Path Analysis) using software Amos22 to confirm or refute the hypothesis of the research study. Hypotheses: 1. Empowerment dimension effect on turnover intention. 2. Interoperability dimensions have an effect on…
for pulley A to pulley B ratio, it assumed them as 1:3 for drive pulley is smaller than driven pulley. This mistake will lead to a necessary correction for contact angles. Furthermore, the incorrect RPMs will lead to the miscalculation of the centrifugal force because the velocity is wrong. Also, this cause the values of torque, F1, and F2 need to be recalculated. 1.5. Shaft Layout and Specification Based on JEDR report drawing, the location of bearing housing on shaft B is incorrect. It is…
This paper will study the relationship between a country’s perceived amount of corruption, and how that affects the wages of its domestic workers. The premise behind this paper is that a country that is perceived as being dishonest and corrupt would have lower wages. Corruption in government is seemingly always present in our world. This paper will try to determine if there is a correlation between a country’s perceived corruption and the monthly disposable income its workers earn with…
Data Analysis Biaxial Tensile Tests Different stress and strain definitions have been used to study the biomechanics of soft tissue [24]. The 2nd Piola-Kirchhoff stress and Green strain definitions have been employed in this study, which are described briefly in the following. The Green strain tensor is defined as E=1/2(F^T F-1), where F is the gradient deformation tensor. For the case of in-plane biaxial stretching in directions 1 and 2, the Green strain in these directions can be written…
Variance Decomposition Analysis The variance decomposition analysis has applied to quantify the extent up to which the selected indices one influenced by each other. We can also examine the short run dynamic relationship by variance decomposition. While impulse response functions trace the effects of a shock to one endogenous variable in the VAR, variance decomposition separates the variation in an endogenous variable in to the component shocks to the VAR. Thus, the variance decomposition…
