Time cells might be optimized for predictive capacity, not redundancy reduction or memory capacity

CD133 might be a pan marker of epithelial cells with dedifferentiation capacity.

Enhanced vulnerability to distraction does not account for working memory capacity reduction in people with schizophrenia

Although working memory impairment has been well-documented among people with schizophrenia (PSZ), the underlying mechanism of this impairment remains unknown. The present study was conducted in a large sample of PSZ and healthy control subjects (HCS) to test the hypothesis that one putative mechanism-vulnerability to distraction from task-irrelevant stimuli-(1) can account for working memory i...

Working Memory Capacity and Generalization in Predictive Learning

The relationship between working memory and deliberative processing was examined in a human contingency learning experiment that employed the combined positive and negative patterning procedure of Shanks and Darby (1998). Participants with a large working memory capacity showed generalization consistent with the application of an opposites rule (i.e., a compound and its elements signal opposite...

Forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% of vital capacity might be a predictive factor for bronchial hyperreactivity in children with allergic rhinitis, asthma, or both.

Allergic rhinitis and asthma are closely associated. Bronchial hyperreactivity (BHR) is a pathophysiological characteristic of asthma. Forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% of vital capacity (FEF(25-75)) has been previously shown to be able to predict BHR in adult patients with allergic rhinitis. Therefore, the aim of this study was (i) to evaluate the presence of BHR in a large group of ch...

Capacity Optimized Power Allocation for Multimedia

This work studies the optimal power allocation scheme that maximizes the uplink capacity of cellular multimedia CDMA networks under imperfect power control. We derive the conditions that such an optimal power allocation scheme should satisfy and suggest a closed-form approximate solution (a quasi-optimal power allocation scheme) to the question based on conservative bounds. By numerical example...
