Fractional Derivatives in Interval Analysis
2017
In this paper, interval fractional derivatives are presented. We consider uncertainty in both the order and the argument of the fractional operator. The approach proposed takes advantage of the property of Fourier and Laplace transforms with respect to the translation operator, in order to first define integral transform of interval functions. Subsequently, the main interval fractional integrals and derivatives, such as the Riemann–Liouville, Caputo, and Riesz, are defined based on their properties with respect to integral transforms. Moreover, uncertain-but-bounded linear fractional dynamical systems, relevant in modeling fractional viscoelasticity, excited by zero-mean stationary Gaussian…
Kompression ja 2 ½-viikon korkeaintensiteettisen intervalli-harjoittelun vaikutukset naisjääkiekkoilijoiden hermo-lihasjärjestelmään
2015
Kinnunen, Juho-Ville 2015. Kompression ja 2½-viikon korkeaintensiteettisen intervalli harjoittelun vaikutukset naisjääkiekkoilijoiden hermo-lihasjärjestelmään. Liikuntabiologian laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto. Biomekaniikan Pro gradu -tutkielma 64 s. Korkeaintensiteettinen intervalli-harjoittelu (HIIT) on yleinen harjoittelumuoto, jolla voidaan saada aikaan vasteita aineenvaihdunnallisesti sekä hermo-lihasjärjestelmässä. Harjoittelumuotoa voidaan hyödyntää muun harjoittelun lisänä ja siten saada aikaiseksi vasteita lyhyemmillä harjoitteluajoilla, kuin perinteisessä harjoitteissa. Kompressiolla on puolestaan todettu olevan vaikutuksia perättäisten räjähtävien suoritusten keskitehon kasvussa ja…
Early Parental Death and Risk of Psychosis in Offspring: A Six-Country Case-Control Study
2019
Evidence for early parental death as a risk factor for psychosis in offspring is inconclusive. We analyzed data from a six-country, case-control study to examine the associations of early parental death, type of death (maternal, paternal, both), and child’s age at death with psychosis, both overall and by ethnic group. In fully adjusted multivariable mixed-effects logistic regression models, experiencing early parental death was associated with 1.54-fold greater odds of psychosis (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.23, 1.92). Experiencing maternal death had 2.27-fold greater odds (95% CI: 1.18, 4.37), paternal death had 1.14-fold greater odds (95% CI: 0.79, 1.64), and both deaths had 4.4…
Batch Methods for Resolution Enhancement of TIR Image Sequences
2015
Thermal infrared (TIR) time series are exploited by many methods based on Earth observation (EO), for such applications as agriculture, forest management, and meteorology. However, due to physical limitations, data acquired by a single sensor are often unsatisfactory in terms of spatial or temporal resolution. This issue can be tackled by using remotely sensed data acquired by multiple sensors with complementary features. When nonreal-time functioning or at least near real-time functioning is admitted, the measurements can be profitably fed to a sequential Bayesian algorithm, which allows to account for the correlation embedded in the successive acquisitions. In this work, we focus on appli…
Nonlinear impact estimation in spatial autoregressive models
2018
International audience; This paper extends the literature on the calculation and interpretation of impacts for spatial autoregressive models. Using a Bayesian framework, we show how the individual direct and indirect impacts associated with an exogenous variable introduced in a nonlinear way in such models can be computed, theoretically and empirically. Rather than averaging the individual impacts, we suggest to graphically analyze them along with their confidence intervals calculated from Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). We also explicitly derive the form of the gap between individual impacts in the spatial autoregressive model and the corresponding model without a spatial lag and show, in…
Performance Degradation of Discrete PID Controller for Digital Excitation Control System Due to Variation of Sampling Time
2019
Modern digital AVR are consisting PID controller in forward path ensures fast response in the event of disturbance. Digital keypad is used for setting PID gains to improve performance of the system. Digital PID controller reads the error signal at regular interval unlike analog controller that reads the error signal continuously. Regular interval at which digital processor reads error signal is called sampling time that has substantial effect on the performance of the controller and consequently affects the stability of the power system where synchronous generator using digital excitation system is connected in parallel. This paper addresses the issues of variation of sampling time on the p…
Electric control of the spin Hall effect by intervalley transitions
2013
Controlling spin-related material properties by electronic means is a key step towards future spintronic technologies. The spin Hall effect (SHE) has become increasingly important for generating, detecting and using spin currents, but its strength-quantified in terms of the SHE angle-is ultimately fixed by the magnitude of the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) present for any given material system. However, if the electrons generating the SHE can be controlled by populating different areas (valleys) of the electronic structure with different SOC characteristic the SHE angle can be tuned directly within a single sample. Here we report the manipulation of the SHE in bulk GaAs at room temperature by m…
The Contingent Negative Variation – An Electrophysiological Correlate of Temporal Processing or Reference Memory?
2014
Abstract In EEG research, the contingent negative variation (CNV) is considered to be strongly related to interval timing (e.g., Macar & Vidal, 2004 ; Macar, Vidal, & Casini, 1999). However, it is discussed controversially whether certain properties of the CNV (e.g., amplitude, peak latency and resolution) directly reflect the process of temporal accumulation or rather processes related to reference memory or decision stages in temporal information processing (van Rijn et al., 2011). This present study was designed in order to investigate the relationship between CNV mean amplitude, CNV resolution, and memory processes as well as processes of temporal accumulation. The task design aimed at …
Hirschsprung's disease prevalence in Europe: A register based study
2014
Background: Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital gut motility disorder, characterised by the absence of the enteric ganglion cells along the distal gut. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of Hirschsprung's disease, including additional congenital anomalies, total prevalence, trends, and association with maternal age. Methods: Cases of Hirschsprung's disease delivered during 1980 to 2009 notified to 31 European Surveillance of Congenital Anomaly registers formed the population-based case-series. Prevalence rates and 95% confidence intervals were calculated as the number of cases per 10,000 births. Multilevel Poisson regression was performed to investigate trends in prev…
Efficacy of lumen-apposing metal stents or self-expandable metal stents for endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochoduodenostomy: a systematic review …
2020
Abstract Background Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage is becoming an option for palliation of malignant biliary obstruction. Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) are replacing self-expandable metal stents (SEMS). The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LAMS and SEMS for EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS). Methods A meta-analysis was performed using PRISMA protocols. Electronic databases were searched for studies on EUS-CDS. The primary outcome was clinical success. Secondary outcomes were technical success, reintervention, and adverse events. We used the random effects model with the DerSimonian–Laird estimation, and the results were…
