Nested and robust modeling techniques for fNIRS data with demographics and experiment related factors in n-back task

2022-01-01
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) signals are used to measure relative changes in oxyhemoglobin (HbO) and deoxyhemoglobin (HbR) concentrations. Brain response studies constitute multilevel or nested datasets formed by different parts of the brain of individuals and multidimensional datasets. The changes in brain activities under specific stimuli are investigated with the help of statistical analysis. However, these studies ignore the dependence structure between the repeated measures of the same subject, which may cause inaccurate or incomplete findings. In this study, we adopt an advanced statistical method into HbO data controlling for variability within repeated measures of each subject while testing and measuring the degrees of the statistical significance between-subject factors and explanatory variables. The changes in HbO are investigated through a linear mixed model, taking experimental and demographic variables into account with open access neuroscience data. The channels nested within subjects are considered random to capture the differences among individuals. Our findings reveal that n-back conditions and mean response times of the subjects have statistically significant associations with mean HbO.

Exponential Smoothing of Multiple Reference Frame Components With GPUs for Real-Time Detection of Time-Varying Harmonics and Interharmonics of EAF Currents
Balouji, Ebrahim; Salor, Ozgul; Ermiş, Muammer (2018-11-01)
In this research work, a multiple synchronous reference frame (MSRF)-based analysis method, used together with exponential smoothing (ES) to accurately obtain the time-varying harmonics and interharmonics of electric arc furnace (EAF) currents, is proposed. The proposed method has been implemented on NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960 graphics card for the parallel processing of all harmonics and interharmonics so that real-time processing of the EAF currents obtained from a measurement point of the electricity transmi...
Pseudorapidity dependence of long-range two-particle correlations in pPb collisions at root sNN=5.02 TeV
Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (2017-07-01)
Two-particle correlations in pPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV are studied as a function of the pseudorapidity separation (Delta eta) of the particle pair at small relative azimuthal angle (|Delta phi| < pi/3). The correlations are decomposed into a jet component that dominates the short-range correlations (|Delta eta| < 1), and a component that persists at large Delta eta and may originate from collective behavior of the produced system. The events are classified in term...

Numerical Simulation of Reciprocating Flow Forced Convection in Two-Dimensional Channels
Sert, Cüneyt (ASME International, 2003-5-20)
<jats:p>Numerical simulations of laminar, forced convection heat transfer for reciprocating, two-dimensional channel flows are performed as a function of the penetration length, Womersley (α) and Prandtl (Pr) numbers. The numerical algorithm is based on a spectral element formulation, which enables high-order spatial resolution with exponential decay of discretization errors, and second-order time-accuracy. Uniform heat flux and constant temperature boundary conditions are imposed on certain regions of the ...
Numerical simulation of saltwater intrusion in a groundwater basin
EMEKLI, NUSRET; Karahanoğlu, Nurkan; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; DOYURAN, VEDAT (1996-07-01)
The spatial and transient behavior of the coupled mechanism of saltwater and freshwater how throughout the Erzin, Turkey, groundwater basin was analyzed to forecast the position of the interface under a particular set of recharge and discharge conditions. The density-driven saltwater intrusion process was simulated with the use of a finite-element model. Physical parameters, initial heads, and boundary conditions of the basin were defined on the basis of available field data, and an areal, steady-state grou...
