We investigated the changes of resource demand during the acquisition of a sensorimotor skill, namely the tracking of a visual target under reversed visual feedback. This acquisition task was performed alone or concurrently with one of four manual reaction-time tasks as loading tasks, designed to tap different computational resources. As expected, we found tracking performance to deteriorate up...

This paper deals with adaptive array beamforming in the presence of errors due to steering vector mismatch and finite sample effect. Diagonal loading (DL) is one of the widely used techniques for dealing with these errors. However, the main drawback of DL techniques is that there is not an easy and reliable manner to determine the required loading factor. Recently, serval DL approaches proposed...

Coupling to the environment typically suppresses quantum properties of physical systems via decoherence mechanisms. This is one main obstacles in practical implementations protocols. In this work we show how effects can be reversed/suppressed during teleportation a network scenario. Treating quantumly, that under general pure dephasing coupling, performing second step probabilistically reverse ...

Purpose: The aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate the concept of early loading of rough-surfaced implants in the completely edentulous maxilla and in the edentulous posterior mandible and maxilla. Materials and Methods: Fifty-four consecutive patients were treated. Twenty patients were completely edentulous in the maxilla (group A), 19 patients were edentulous in the posterior l...

since treatment of landfill leachate is quite complicated, there is a need to develop a system thatis capable of providing high treatment efficiencies. in this study, the treatment performance of a jet - loopmembrane bioreactor (jlmb) operated at different organic loading rates was investigated by observing thechanges in chemical oxygen demand (cod), total kjehldahl nitrogen (tkn) and total amm...

Giant thermoelectric effects are known to arise at the interface between superconductors and strongly polarized ferromagnets, enabling construction of efficient generators. We predict that thermopower such a generator can be completely controlled by magnetic input signal: Not only toggled on off rotating magnet, but it even entirely reversed. This in situ control diverges from conventional ther...

With the expanding demand on application of magnesium alloys in automotive and aerospace industries, robust methods in fatigue characterization of commercially available magnesium alloys with high specific strength is anticipated. In this paper, rotating bending load controlled tests has been studied on specimens machined from an extrusion piece of AZ31B. Due to asymmetric and anisotropic behav...
