Polymer blending is used to modify or improve the dimensional and thermal stability of any two different polymers or copolymers. In this study, both sulfonated polybenzimidazole homopolymer (MS-p-PBI 100) and sulfonat...

Fire is a critical tool for managing rangeland ecosystems; however, the increasing wildfire occurrence poses considerable danger to ecosystem continuity. Predicting fire and mapping in highly flammable rangelands. To identify potential remotely sensed variables prediction, this study employed Random Forest (RF) classifier using selected environmental assess their possible use prediction Kgalaga...

Grinband et al., 2011 compare evidence that they have collected from a neuroimaging study of the Stroop task with a simulation model of performance and conflict in that task, and interpret the results as providing evidence against the theory that activity in dorsal medial frontal cortex (dMFC) reflects monitoring for conflict. Here, we discuss several errors in their methods and conclusions and...

In recent years, as the mobile equipment advances, higher output and higher energy density are required of the battery which drives the mobile equipment. As one of the solutions, development of portable fuel cells (DMFC) with methanol used for fuel has been progressed and the fuel cells will be soon put to practical use. The authors have developed a small air pump (0.2W output), which is mounte...

Action monitoring allows the swift detection of conflicts, errors, and the rapid evaluation of outcomes. These processes are crucial for learning, adaptive behavior, and for the regulation of cognitive control. Our review discusses neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies that have explored the contribution of emotional and social factors during action monitoring. Meta-analytic brain activ...

Neural regions in the dorsomedial frontal cortex (DMFC), including the supplementary eye field (SEF) and the presupplementary motor area (pre-SMA), are likely candidates for generating top-down control of saccade target selection. To investigate this, we applied electrical microstimulation to these structures while saccades were being planned to visual targets. Stimulation administered to super...
