The General Home and Gifts Linear Model (GLM) used in task-fMRI relates activated brain areas to extrinsic task conditions.The translation of resulting neural activation into a hemodynamic response is commonly approximated with a linear convolution model using a hemodynamic response function (HRF).There are two major limitations in GLM analysis.Fir
BACKGROUND/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The phenomenon of Neolithisation refers to the transition of prehistoric populations from a hunter-gatherer to an agro-pastoralist lifestyle.Traditionally, the spread of an agro-pastoralist economy into Europe has been framed within a dichotomy based either on an acculturation phenomenon or on a demic diffusion.Howeve
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and antibody-mediated rejection are immune-mediated, long-term complications that jeopardize graft survival after heart transplantation (HTx).Interestingly, increased plasma levels of immunoglobulins have been found in end-stage heart failure (HF) patients prior to HTx.In this study, we aimed to determine whethe
A method for improving radar-derived quantitative precipitation estimation is proposed.Tropical vertical profiles of reflectivity (VPRs) are first determined from multiple VPRs.Upon identifying a tropical VPR, the event can be further classified as either tropical-stratiform or tropical-convective rainfall by a fuzzy logic (FL) algorithm.Based on t
A high resolution surface topography Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is required to underpin studies of the complex glacier system on the Antarctic Peninsula.A complete DEM with better than 200 m pixel size and high positional and vertical accuracy would enable mapping WOVEN DRSSHRT SLV of all significant glacial basins and provide a dataset for glac
