IAAOJ, Scientific Science, 2013,1(2), 29-36 PERFORMANCE OF FDR TEST: A SIMULATION STUDY

Multiple comparison and multiple confidence tests are used to determine which group or groups are significantly different than others in analysis of variance. According to some assumptions, there are different kinds of multiple comparison and multiple confidence tests in the literature. In this study performance of the FDR (False Discovery Rate) test, which is one of the alternative test for the multiple comparison tests are examined. The significance value according to FDR is compared with the significance value for the t test. 3, 5 and 10 groups for the sample sizes 50, 100 and 200 are compared. MATLAB software is used to obtain the related data sets and to conclude the analysis. All of the results show that FDR is nonsensitive to the number of compared groups. The increase of FDR values is constant for numbers of compared groups even if the sample size increases. Other results are given in related tables.
Ju l 1 99 4 Specifying Intonation from Context for Speech Synthesis

This paper presents a theory and a computational implementa tion for generating prosodically appropriate synthetic speech in response to database queri s. P oper distinctions of contrast and emphasis are expressed in an intonation contour that is synt hesized by rule under the control of a grammar, a discourse model, and a knowledge base. The the ory is based on Combinatory Categorial Grammar, a formalism which easily integrates th notions of syntactic constituency, semantics, prosodic phrasing and information structure. R esults from our current implementation demonstrate the system’s ability to generate a variety of intonational possibilities for a given sentence depending on the discourse context. Cet article vise a présenter une théorie et une réalisati on informatique de la génération de la parôle synthèthique accompagnée d’intonation appropr ié, en réponse à des enquêtes apropos d’une base de données. Les distinctions appropriées de co ntraste et d’emphase sont marquées par l’intonation automatiquement synthesisé sous la gouv ernance de la grammaire, un modèle du discours, et d’une réprésentation de la domaine cognitiv e. La théorie se fonde sur la Grammaire Categoriale Combinateurique, formalisme qui se prête à l ’intégration directe de la syntaxe, la semantique, la structure prosodique, et le statut discursa le de l’information. Les résultâts de nos expériences demontrent les capacités du système de gén érer plusieurs intonations différemment modulés selon le contexte du discours pour une phrase donn ́ ee. Dieser Artikel präsentiert ein Modell zur Generierung pro sodisch adäquater, synthetisierter Antworten auf Datenbankanfragen. Dabei werden die passenden Untersc heidungen zwischen Kontrast und Betonung in Bezug auf ein Diskursmodell und eine Wissensbas i vermittelt. Das Modell für die Generierung der Betonungen basiert auf Combinatory Cat egorial Grammar (Kombinatoriale Kategorial-Grammatiken), ein Formalismus, der die Ver wendung von syntaktischen Konstituenten, prosodischer Phrasierung und Informationsst rukturen integriert. Resultate unserer Implementierung demonstrieren die Fähigkeit des Systems , eine breite Auswahl von Intonationsmöglichkeiten für einen gegebenen Satz in Abhängi gkeit vom Diskurs-Kontext zu generieren.
Design of the 1 MeV D- SINGAP accelerator for ITER neutral beam injection

In contrast to the Multi Aperture – Multi Grid (MAMuG) concept of the ITER Neutral Beam Injector reference design (Inoue et al. [1]) in which D acceleration to 40 A, 1 MeV is achieved through 7 grids containing 1280 apertures each, the European SINGAP (SINgle GAP SINGle APerture) concept proposes acceleration of 1280 pre-accelerated (20-50 keV) beamlets to 1 MeV in a single step. During acceleration the beamlets are merged into 16 beam groups of 80 beamlets. These 16 beam groups (“hyperbeamlets”) then emerge from an exit grid containing only 16 very large apertures. This concept is expected to reduce cost and increase the tolerance to mechanical errors and stray magnetic fields. The physics of this concept and a design have been described before by ourselves [2]. Improved computational facilities have enabled us to calculate larger models and this has led to necessary modifications to the design which are described in this paper.
The Accuracy Performance of the Point of Care Test (POCT) Boditech I-CHROMA™ Testosterone Method using External Quality Assessment Schemes: RIQAS and UKNEQAS

The estimation of testosterone levels in the blood is an important part of urological practice. This study evaluated and compared the performance of the quantitative Boditech point of care test Boditech i-CHROMATM testosterone method with other laboratory testosterone methods enrolled in the external quality assurance services, RIQAS and UKNEQAS. Samples 1-12 of Cycle 41 from the RIQAS scheme and forty-six distributions of the UKNEQAS Testosterone scheme were analyzed using the Boditech i-CHROMATM testosterone method. The Boditech i-CHROMATM testosterone method compared well with the laboratory methods registered in both schemes. The best correlation was with the Diasorin Liaison method (r2=0.96851) in the RIQAS and the TOSOH AIA method (r2=0.767) in the UKNEQAS. The method with the least bias from the RIQAS was the Diasorin Liaison (-2 ng/ mL) and from the UKNEQAS was the Tandem Mass Spectroscopy (0.049 ng/mL). In conclusion, the Boditech i-CHROMATM POCT Testosterone method compared well with other laboratory methods and can be considered a reliable method for testosterone estimation within its limitations. Am J Biomed Sci & Res Copy@ J Bolodeoku American Journal of Biomedical Science & Research 490 thus allows for the calculation of sample testosterone concentration and the result is displayed on the reader as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). A fluorescence-labelled control protein is included in the reaction and the intensity of the control line is measured as a quality check.
13 NORMAL AND ABNORMAL READING PROCESSES IN CHILDREN Neuropsychophysiological Studies

Early identification of dyslexia would be fundamental to prevent the negative consequences of delayed treatment in the social, psychological and occupational domains. Movement-related potentials of dyslexic children are characterized by inadequate ability to program movements and reduced capacity to evaluate their performance and to correct their errors. Reading-related potentials recorded during different reading conditions elicit a series of positive and negative components with specific functional meaning and with a characteristic spatial-temporal pattern. These reading-related potentials, when analyzed with sLORETA, show significantly different patterns of activation when comparing self-paced reading aloud to passive viewing of single letters. Comparison of fMRI and sLORETA during both tasks showed that the cortical region with the widest inter-modality similarities is the middle-superior temporal lobe during self-paced reading aloud. Neuropsychological studies have shown the existence of clinical subtypes of dyslexia; these studies have been confirmed by the results of ICA applied to the EEG. Dyslexia can be defined as a disorder of programming and integrating ideokinetic elements, associated with a deficiency in the fast processing and integration of sensory information, with reduced efficiency of error systems analysis. Each of these phenomena occurs at different levels of the central nervous system and at different times.
Passive hydrophone monitoring of bedload in river beds: first trials of signal spectral analyses

A description is given of preliminary efforts in using passive acoustic detection of bedload transport in gravel bed channels. A hydrophone cell placed near the river bed records surrounding noise resulting from both flow and bedload transport. Several methods for detecting sediment components of the record are explored by signal analysis. Time-frequency analysis is suitable for the detection of pebble collisions of highest energy. The relationship between frequency of the noise of the shock and the grain size is analyzed. This relationship is associated with spectral analysis of the recordings for determining the coarsest particles under transport in given conditions. Introduction: The need to determine the onset of bedload transport The morphological characteristics of a river reach are a dynamic equilibrium between upstream sediment input, discharge regime and grain sizes composing the bed of the channel. A natural or artificial modification of one of these factors can produce changes in channel form at the location of the perturbation and also potentially several kilometres downstream and even upstream by the consequence of backwater effects. The resulting transformation of the bed is a morphological adaptation towards another dynamic equilibrium, corresponding to the new conditions. In gravel-bed rivers, bedload transport is the most active process through which the bed of the channel adjusts to changes in flow and/or sediment, with different bedload size ranges and fluxes moved under varying levels of flow. For the highest flow conditions, bedload transport involves all sizes of bed material and takes place largely over the entire bed of the channel (Parker, 1978b). However, high bedload fluxes must be balanced when considering the rarity of such high floods. In contrast, smaller floods and more moderate discharges play a significant role in determining bed morphology, as they convey the majority of bedload over a long period of time. The statement leads to the idea of ‘dominant discharges’ which is a popular concept in engineering and geomorphology (Wolman & Miller, 1960, Henderson,
Pilot Evaluation of a Low Cost 3 Degree-of-Freedom Flight Simulator Driven by the Classical Washout Filter Algorithm

A low cost flight simulator using commercially available components was designed, implemented and studied at the Royal Military College of Canada. The goal of this study was to determine the performance of such a flight simulator and to derive potential applications for it. After building the flight simulator and optimizing the classical washout filter algorithm used to drive its motions, a group of twelve pilots were asked to fly testing maneuvers and rate the simulator on several criterions. Pilot evaluation focused on four topics: the flight simulator hardware, the motion simulation, the motion simulation impact and the flight simulator potential for training. In this paper the pilot ratings which are favorable for this simulator are discussed. This study was a very good opportunity to study the performance and potential applications of low cost 3 DOF flight simulators.
1 # 22 PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY MUSEUM SPACES : A Study on Human Behavior and Spatial Organization Relationship in Refunctioned Warehouse Spaces of Karaköy

In Istanbul between Karaköy-Kabataş there is a region consists of warehouse spaces. Two of them are refunctioned as a museum building and a temporary space, which is used mostly for biennial exhibitions. Museum spaces are an important part of everyday life in the context of social life. Visitors’ behaviors in a museum space is affected by the spatial order that we may also name as configuration, the attraction potential of the items that are exhibited in spaces, and the movement of the visitors in these spaces. Visual perception within the space in terms of accessibility and visibility that are affecting the integration levels are also keys to this investigation. In this study, temporary and permanent exhibition spaces will be scrutinized with a study based on the behavior of people in relation to configuration and exhibited materials. The main questioning is whether the type of the space (temporary/permanent) affecting the behavior of people in relation with the exhibited items and configuration or not. Two of the former warehouses are selected as case studies where Istanbul Modern Museum in Antrepo No.4 is a permanent museum space now; and Antrepo No.7 is recently used during Istanbul Design Biennial in 2014, which is a temporary exhibition space. Both of the warehouse structures that we call “Antrepo” are the parts of the main warehouses region between Karaköy and Kabataş in Istanbul; have similarities in the context of space configuration, size and environmental characteristics. In this study, both qualitative methods that are including the observation of behavioral modes and frequencies with on site analysis, and quantitative methods that are including the space syntax methodology are used. After these studies, results are overlapped to evaluate the relation between user behavior-space relationships and to compare permanent and temporary museum spaces. In conclusion, the behavior of people seemed affected by the type of the artworks mostly on the basis of the time spent over them. In both cases, behaviors of people are verifying attractormovement-configuration theory. In temporary case, artworks are the major parameter affecting the behavior whereas in the permanent exhibition case interfacing spaces between interior and exterior are affecting the behavior, as well. In the temporary one, artworks are affecting the usage more than the permanent one, with their physical being besides their context. The further discussion in that sense is how future curation of exhibitions and architectural design of spaces may be evaluated through these types of venues.

How important is to use diagnosed background error covariances for the atmospheric ozone analysis ?

The background error covariance matrix is a key component of any assimilation system. It accounts for the variance and for the correlations and these two contributions can be assessed and estimated separately. The background error variance has to be compared to the observation error variance in order to evaluate their relative weight in the analysis produced by the assimilation process. The background error correlations carry to the neighbouring gridpoints the information brought in by the obervations at their locations. They also transfer the information to other variables not directly measured, if these are physically related to the measured ones.
Low Power 10-Bit Flash Analog-to-Digital Converter with Divide and Collate Subranging Conversion Scheme

The sampling rate plays a key role in wireless applications at very high-frequency range. Flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC) betters the slow converter counterparts in this regard but bulky at inevitable high resolutions. A state-of-the-art Divide and Collate (DnC) algorithm is proposed to design the flash ADC at subranging levels. The offset voltage is kept at a minimum through the comparators used for novel coarse and fine conversion separately. The kick-back noise is also reduced by using sample and hold switches at the input. The 10-bit ADC architecture is designed with 45-nm CMOS technology and analyzed in the SPECTRE environment. A trivial variation in the transconductance with temperature is observed and consequently the offset drift with temperature is found to be 0.015 mV/◦C. The design improves the INL by 0.42 LSB and DNL by 0.3 LSB. Signal-tonoise-and-distortion (SNDR) ratio and spurious-free-dynamic-range (SFDR) are 51.8 dB and 62 dB respectively at a frequency range near the Nyquist rate with a supply voltage of 1 V and input frequency of 500 MHz. Subranging scheme minimizes the comparator requirements which is reflected in the 44% reduction in the power dissipation.
Numerical approximations to weighted Kolmogorov-Smirnov Distributions via Integral Equations

We show that the distribution of two-sided weighted Kolmogorov-Smirnov (wK-S) statistics can be obtained via the solution of the system of two Volterra type integral equations for corresponding boundary crossing probabilities for a diffusion process. Based on this result we propose a numerical approximation method for evaluating the distribution of wK-S statistics. We provide the numerical solutions to the system of the integral equations which were also verified via Monte Carlo simulations.
The Mediating Effect of Job Satisfaction on the Relationship between Organizational Justice , Person-Organization Fit and Organizational Citizenship Behavior

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of organizational justice and person-organization fit as components that influence organizational citizenship behavior and to clarify the mediating effect of job satisfaction. One hundred and ninety operating-level employees from various service sectors participated in this study. The results show that although both organizational justice and person-organization fit significantly influence organizational citizenship behavior, when examining the inclusion of job satisfaction as a mediator, only the relationship between person-organization fit and organizational citizenship behavior shows partial mediation effect. There is no significant relationship between organizational justice and OCB. Further research and practical implications are discussed.
Force Controlled under limb Robotics Device for Rehabilitation

For the maintenance the balance of a Robotics Device, we need to synthesize some parameters as follows centre of mass (COM), centre of pressure(COP), centre of gravity (COG), actuated motion, actuated pressure and actuated force (torque). This paper represents force diagram of human walking and standing related to the robotics device and proposed a force control system for robotics device's balancing during walking and standing. This control system can be effective for rehabilitation, to help various people bearing weak legs or to help those enduring from a broken leg, to walk. This can also be significant as a servitor device helping people carrying heavy loads. The main characteristic is that a paasive force balancer provides the force to preserve bodyweight. An actuator is required to shift the force during swing to stance (rehabilitaion). KeywordsForce, Rehabilitation, Control , Limb, Human.

USING NEURAL NETWORKS TO IMPROVE CROSS-SECTIONAL MOMENTUM STRATEGY

Machine learning and in particular, neural networks, are powerful tools for predictive analysis and used in a wide range of applications. I combine the neural networks and momentum investing with the aim to construct a neural network enhanced momentum strategy. I train the neural network to predict future relative performance of stocks in US between 1964 and 2012 using past returns and risk indicators as a feature set. I find that neural network momentum strategy generates monthly average returns of 3.18% (tstat 11.81), outperforming the traditional momentum strategy by 1.39%-points. I also find that long-term momentum is the main driver of the relative performance predictions and that short and mid-term historical volatilities are the most important risk factors explaining variation in the predictions.

Relationships of homophobic bullying during childhood and adolescence with problematic internet and smartphone use in early adulthood among sexual minority men in Taiwan

Background: Mental health disparity in sexual minorities is a crucial clinical and public health issue worldwide. A total of 500 homosexual or bisexual men aged between 20 and 25 years participated in this study. Objectives: The aims of the study were to examine the relationships of victimization of traditional and cyber homophobic bullying during childhood and adolescence with problematic internet and smartphone use and activities during early adulthood among sexual minority men in Taiwan. Methods: The seveirities of problematic internet and smartphone use and activities in early adulthood were compared between victims and non-victims of bullying. The severities of problematic internet and smartphone use were also compared among the groups of various types of bullying as well as among the groups of various persistence durations of being bullied. Results: Victims of traditional and cyber homophobic bullying had more severe problematic internet and smartphone use than non-victims. Victims of multi-type bullying had more severe problematic internet use than victims of single-type bullying. Prolonged victimization was significantly associated with problematic internet and smartphone use. Discussion: Victimization of traditional and cyber homophobic bullying during childhood and adolescence predicts problematic internet and smartphone use during early adulthood among sexual minority men.
Accelerated Gravitational Point Set Alignment With Altered Physical Laws

This work describes Barnes-Hut Rigid Gravitational Approach (BH-RGA) — a new rigid point set registration method relying on principles of particle dynamics. Interpreting the inputs as two interacting particle swarms, we directly minimise the gravitational potential energy of the system using non-linear least squares. Compared to solutions obtained by solving systems of second-order ordinary differential equations, our approach is more robust and less dependent on the parameter choice. We accelerate otherwise exhaustive particle interactions with a Barnes-Hut tree and efficiently handle massive point sets in quasilinear time while preserving the globally multiply-linked character of interactions. Among the advantages of BH-RGA is the possibility to define boundary conditions or additional alignment cues through varying point masses. Systematic experiments demonstrate that BH-RGA surpasses performances of baseline methods in terms of the convergence basin and accuracy when handling incomplete, noisy and perturbed data. The proposed approach also positively compares to the competing method for the alignment with prior matches.
