The effects of motor task complexity on sensorimotor integration: implications for healthy and subclinical populations
(2014-07-01)
The central nervous system’s (CNS) plastic ability allows for adaptation to the various physiological changes and experiences we encounter. This occurs through dynamic shifts within the connections and strengths of neural ...
Cortical adaption influences excitability in the dominant and non-dominant hands following complex novel motor training
(2014-09-01)
The primary motor cortex (M1) can dynamically control the magnitude of motor refinement through motor plasticity. Plasticity can be investigated by looking at changes to motor excitability, which has been established to ...
Development, analysis and performance assessment of net zero energy house systems.
(2014-08-01)
Net zero energy buildings have captured the attention of many researchers and governments due to high energy consumption by traditional buildings. The design stage of a net zero energy house is the most crucial and cost ...
Distributed policy-based management framework for wireless sensor networks.
(2014-06-01)
Policy-Based Management Systems (PBMS) are becoming a critical component of any information technology environment, due to their ability to abstract hardware complexity from their users. Policy-based systems exist in such ...
Designing power aware wireless sensor networks leveraging software modeling techniques
(2014-03-01)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are typically used to monitor specific phenomena and gather the data to a gateway node, where the data is further processed. WSNs nodes have limited power resources, which require developing ...
Analysis, assessment and optimization of integrated solar energy systems for multigeneration
(2014-12-01)
The extensive usage of fossil fuel in most of human activities has led to the undesirable effects on the environment starting from global warming and greenhouse effects to the climate changes, acid rain and others. Renewable ...
Advances in parallel robotics for flexible and reconfigurable manufacturing
(2014-04-01)
Parallel robotic manipulators are a specific type of robot that has multiple
limbs which are ultimately connected to a moving body. Within
this regime, there are several sub-classes of robots characterized by
certain ...
Asynchronous bi-directional relay-assisted communication networks
(2014-02-01)
We consider an asynchronous bi-directional relay network, consisting of two singleantenna
transceivers and multiple single-antenna relays, where the transceiver-relay
paths are subject to different relaying and/or ...
Using detection in depth to counter SCADA-specific advanced persistent threats
(2014-04-01)
A heavy focus has recently been placed on the current state of each country’s critical
infrastructure security. Unfortunately, widely deployed supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) protocols provide little ...
The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of short interfering RNAs that contain internal modified alkyl spacers
(2014-08-01)
The ability to silence genes effectively at the pre-translational level through the use of short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) has become a widely studied area since the discovery of the RNA interference pathway in ...
