APPLICATION OF MACHINE LEARNING IN GEOPHYSICS: RANKING TELESEISMIC SHEAR WAVE SPLITTING MEASUREMENTS AND CLASSIFYING DIFFERENT TYPES OF EARTHQUAKES
… problems, ranking teleseismic shear splitting (SWS) measurements and classifying different types of earthquakes.</p> <p>For ranking teleseismic SWS measurements, we utilized a CNN-based method to automatically select reliable SWS measurements. The CNN was trained by human-verified teleseismic …

Shear Wave Splitting Analyses in West Texas
… and USArray/Transportable Array (TA) stations. SWS parameters, the fast polarization direction and the delay time, are computed using a semi-automatic algorithm. Only a single measurement is obtained at several TA stations near the west and east boundary of the Midland Basin. More SWS parameters …

The Effects of Self-Guided Meditation and Napping on Memory Consolidation in Humans
… declarative memories. This study also found that SWS exerts significant effects on the retention of non-declarative memory. For nappers, the absence of SWS resulted in noticeable performance enhancements compared to participants who entered SWS. Thus, it is possible that SWS plays a …

Internal and external load monitoring in well-trained and professional cyclists
… online questionnaire (Subjective Wellness Score, SWS) and a modified submaximal cycling test (Submaximal Fatigue Test, SFT) (internal and external training load monitoring tools) can be used in conjunction with an external training load monitoring tool (TrainingPeaks® Performance Management …

NREM sleep spindles and slow wave sleep in younger and elderly women: an investigation of their influence on declarative memory consolidation
Previous research shows that slow wave sleep (SWS) and sleep spindles play an essential role in declarative memory consolidation. However, this role is not well understood in the ageing women. With advancing age, SWS and sleep spindles undergo significant decreases in duration and density, while …

Teacher Perceptions and Knowledge about Stuttering Before and After an In-Service Training
… perceptions towards their students who stutter (SWS). The participants were twenty-three elementary and secondary teachers from Wolfe County Kentucky who currently had students in their classrooms who stuttered and volunteered to participate in this study. The participants' knowledge about …

Effects of Restraint Stress on Sleep in the Mouse.
… restraint stress on awake, slow-wave sleep (SWS), rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and total sleep time (TST) in the mouse. In contrast to the anecdotal notion that stress uniformly produces insomnia, it was hypothesized that stress induced sleep disruptions would vary as a function of the …

An Investigation of Sleep Architecture and Consequent Cognitive Changes in Olanzapine Treated Patients with Depression
… architecture, specifically slow wave sleep (SWS), in the treatment of depression. Secondarily, to determine the effect of olanzapine augmentation therapy on illness severity and cognitive function. Finally, to examine the correlation between sleep architecture, illness severity and cognition. …

Polarizing Optical Devices Based on Embedded One-Dimensional Subwavelength-Structured Photonic-Crystal Layers
… one-dimensional photonic-crystal layer (SWS 1-D PCL) embedded in a high-index cubical prism is presented. The PBS is based on index matching and total transmission for the p polarization and total internal reflection for the s polarization at the prism-PCL interface at a 45o angle of …

Interactions between anterior thalamus and hippocampus during different behavioral states in the rat by Héctor Penagos.
… periods of awake immobility, slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM). Despite its close functional and anatomical association with the hippocampus, whether or how activity in the anterior thalamus is related to activity in the hippocampus during behavioral states characterized …

Investigation and Modelling of Fetal Sheep Maturation
… and late third-trimester with well-defined SWS (slow wave sleep) and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep states. For the late third-trimester, the results of power, correlation time, and SVD (singular value decomposition) entropy analysis demonstrate that the sleep state change is a cortical …

Design, Implementation and Analysis of Wireless Ad Hoc Messenger
… evaluated include (1) Sliding Window Size (SWS) for end-to-end reliable communication control; (2) the use of per-hop acknowledgement packets (called receipt packets) deigned for rapid detection of route errors by intermediate nodes; and (3) the use of cache for path look-up during route …

Physiological response of loblolly pine seedlings to moisture-stress conditioning and their subsequent performance during water stress
… reached -0.8 MPa) and a severe stress treatment (SWS, seedlings watered only when water potential reached -1.4 MPa). After the conditioning period, numerous physiological and morphological parameters were measured, and performance of seedlings during water stress evaluated. Significant decreases …

Techniques for the Collection and Assay of Sleep Promotion Factor in Exercised and Sleep Deprived Dogs
… accompanied by an increase in slow wave sleep (SWS). Other factors which also increase SWS, such as exercise, may also do so through some mechanism involving the accumulation of factor S. Although this molecule is known to be a polypeptide with a molecular weight under 500, the structure remains …

Exploring the phenomenon of silence in organisational settings as experienced by Non-Standard Workers
… analyse and interpretate NonStandardWorkers (NSWs) experience of the phenomenon of silence in organisational settings to provide a conceptualisation of the antecedents and determinants of silence utilised by NSWs. NSWs are defined as being individuals delivering services within a contractual …
