RATIONAL: The human perirhinal cortex (PRC) plays critical roles in episodic and semantic memory and visual perception. The PRC consists of Brodmann areas 35 and 36 (BA35, BA36). In Alzheimer's disease (AD), BA35 is the first cortical site affected by neurofibrillary tangle pathology, which is closely linked to neural injury in AD. Large anatomical variability, manifested in the form of different
Considerable time is often spent optimizing antennas to meet specific design metrics. Rarely, however, are the resulting antenna designs compared to rigorous physical bounds on those metrics. Here, we study the performance of optimized planar meander line antennas with respect to such bounds. Results show that these simple structures meet the lower bound on the radiation quality factor (Q-factor)
In this narrative review, we survey recent empirical evaluations of AI-based language assessments and present a case for the technology of large language models to be poised for changing standardized psychological assessment. Artificial intelligence has been undergoing a purported “paradigm shift” initiated by new machine learning models, large language models (e.g., BERT, LAMMA, and that behind C
In this paper list decoding of convolutional codes is considered. List decoding is a very powerful, low complexity, non-backtracking decoding method that does not fully exploit the error correcting capability of the code. A correct path loss is a serious kind of error event that is typical for list decoding. An expurgated upper bound on the probability of correct path loss is derived for the ensem
The increasingtest data volume required to ensure high test quality when testinga System-on-Chip is becoming a problem since it (the test datavolume) must fit the ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) memory. In thispaper, we (1) define a test quality metric based on fault coverage,defect probability and number of applied test vectors, and (2) atest data truncation scheme. The truncation scheme combines
Memory for pictures and words - perceptual and semantic factors in the picture superiority effect Georg Stenberg, Växjö University, Sweden Memory for pictures is known to surpass memory for corresponding concrete words, an effect often attributed to the more distinctive perceptual form of pictures. A consequence of this view is that picture superiority would not survive a transformation in which o
Many street vendors live under constant fear of eviction and harassment because the law does not recognize their businesses and they work outside the rule of law. Furthermore, in some cities street vending is a criminal offence to public order and vendors can be sent to prison. Using the empowerment theory, defended by Hernando De Soto, this article will examine to what extent formalization - unde
The dynamics of ethanol production/consumption in baker's yeast were studied under feed- rate controlled conditions. The yeast was grown on molasses in an 8-l fed-batch reactor and experiments were done at cell concentrations between 5 and 65 g l−1. Small changes in the feed rate were made around a feed rate corresponding to the critical growth rate, at which the yeast cell metabolism switches bet
BACKGROUND: Circulating prostate cells can be detected with a reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) assay for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) mRNA. We have developed a new quantitative RT-PCR method for measuring PSA mRNA. METHODS: The method uses a PSA-like internal standard (IS) mRNA that is added into the sample at the beginning of the RNA extraction and coamplified by RT-PCR with the PSA in the s
