Midbrain dopamine neurons (mDA) are important regulators of diverse physiological functions, including movement, attention, and reward behaviors. Accordingly, aberrant function underlies a wide spectrum disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), dystonia, schizophrenia. The distinct functions the system carried out by neuroanatomically discrete subgroups neurons, which differ in gene expression, axonal projections, susceptibility PD. developmental underpinnings this heterogeneity...

One prominent example of globalization and mass cultural exchange is bilingualism, whereby world citizens learn to understand speak multiple languages. Music, similar language, a human universal, subject the effects globalization. In two experiments, we asked whether bimusicalism exists as phenomenon, it can occur even without explicit formal training extensive music-making. Everyday music listeners who had significant exposure both Indian (South Asian) Westerners traditions (IW listeners)...

Serious games and their use in healthcare applications are rapidly growing areas of interest for researchers practitioners. It has been observed that the physically disabled persons typically lack enthusiasm rehabilitation. This hinders recovery ability to care themselves. Using research recommendations from therapists, we developed a product, Kinect-o-Therapy, involved implementation exercise routines targeting different parts body aided people with motor disabilities stemming cerebral...

There exists a paucity of data for socially disadvantaged populations describing patterns and predictors asthma control status exacerbations during pregnancy, their relationship to adverse perinatal outcomes. Asthmatic women (n=189) were followed prospectively with visits at 12, 20, 28 36 weeks gestation. Data on loss control, recurrent uncontrolled moderate/severe collected each visit outcomes examined following stratification fetal sex. 50% asthmatic experienced or exacerbation 22%...

Authenticating digital images poses a significant challenge due to the widespread use of image forgery techniques, including copy-move forgery. Copy-move involves copying and pasting portions an within same while applying geometric transformations make forged appear genuine. Furthermore, additional processing techniques such as additive noise scaling, JPEG compression, rotation can be employed further conceal evidence These factors contribute complexity detecting verifying authenticity...

Hand gesture and sign language are significant ways of communication for deaf-mute people. It puts a barrier in comprehension conversation between mute person normal person, because does not understand the language. In this paper we developed sensor based device which deciphers hand English alphabets. We propose that if wearable device, is glove, put on by would recognize 26 letters almost accurately. discuss challenges future potential so it completely be able to facilitate such class...

With the advent of IoT and growing health awareness, applications wearable ECG & EMG sensors have grown manifold. These demand to be low-cost, low-power highly portable. requirements put several limitations on design development. This paper presents a new sensor which had power consumption less than 1.65 mW (I<;500 pA @ 3.3 V) cost USD 10. The also discusses implementation details various testing results.

Reviewer Matchmaking (RM) is a pivotal process in academic publishing that aligns manuscripts with appropriate reviewers based on their expertise and prior publications. The demand for an automated RM system has escalated the significant surge submissions over past decade. State-of-the-art (SOTA) models are document-representation-based (DR-RM) match manuscript reviewer's publication using similarity method defined high-dimensional vector space. However, they far from accurate despite...

We introduce the inverse of harmonic-oscillator creation and annihilation operators by their actions on number states. then show that three two-photon operators, a^ $^{\mathrm{\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$a^, a^a^ $^{\mathrm{\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$, $^{2}$, possess eigenstates are analogous to often-used coherent squeezed A family operator $^{\mathrm{\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$a^ is...

Limitation of optical remote sensing technology gave rise to synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. SAR is a microwave imaging technique, which promises have long-range propagation characteristic allowing under harsh weather conditions or in hostile lighting situation. This has opened up domain classification using polarimetric (PolSAR) images. In this article, we propose fast PolSAR image algorithm, uses not only pixel-based feature but also spatial features around each pixel. achieved by...

Locating the car license plate in an image or video frame of a is important step recognition/identification applications. This problem poses many challenges like location from images taken poor illumination and bad weather condition; plates that are partly obscured by dirt have low contrast. paper presents new morphology based method for extraction images. The algorithm uses morphological operations on preprocessed, edge vehicles. Characteristic features such as width height, character...

Urban waterfronts are interface between city and water bodies of sea, river lake. The host maintains visual image as well functional characteristics it. One such mega waterfront is located at the Carter Road Mumbai, India with elements interpretation one walks through This a unique formal urban constructed, maintained operationalized largely by public participation without direct support local provincial governments. It was constructed in year 2002 initially, but become fully operational...

Abstract Complex auditory exposures in ambient environments include systems of not only linguistic but also musical sounds. Because exposure is often passive, consisting listening rather than performing, examining listeners without formal training allows for the investigation effects passive on our nervous system active use. Additionally, studying who have to more one an evaluation how brain acquires multiple symbolic and communicative systems. In present fMRI study, had been exposed...

Abstract Verifying the authenticity of a digital image has been challenging problem. The simplest tampering tricks is copy‐move forgery. In forgery copied portion pasted on another part same image. Geometrical transformations are used portions before pasting it for tampered to look realistic and visually convincing. To make more complex, other processing approaches may also be applied in forged region hiding traces These processings scale, rotation, JPEG compression, AWGN. this paper, an...
