Satiation is the main process that determines when we stop eating; it includes the decrease in sensory enjoyment and the increase in feelings of fullness over the course of eating. The cognitive processes involved in food satiation result from complex interactions between the environment and the body. This review describes how cognition shapes consumers’ experience of satiation by following the...

The Discrete Event Systems Specification (DEVS) framework is based on systems engineering principles and is used for modeling and simulation in many application domains. This framework supports a number of important features such as component based hierarchical simulation model development, scalability, reusability and distributed simulation. This paper demonstrates the application of the DEVS ...

We performed vapor phase filling of SWCNTs with various kinds of fullerenes. C60, C70, C enriched C60 and mixtures of these were used. The resulting peapods as well as the DWCNTs obtained by annealing were characterized with multi frequency Raman spectroscopy. Simultaneous filling with C60 and C70 was found to take place with the same efficiency. When using the C enriched C60 for DWCNT synthesi...

We construct a multiresolution analysis of the standard Hilbert space on a Euclidean sphere, which can be implemented directly by neural networks. The neural networks may utilize any sufficiently smooth function as an activation function, and their size can be determined in advance. We define frame operators that can analyze data selected at scattered sites, rather than any particular set of po...

Introduction: Dental caries is a diet-associated disease which continues to be a serious health problem in most industrialized and developing countries. Strategies to maximize caries prevention should automatically consider the use of sugar substitutes. It is important that public health authorities are made cognizant of the availability of new polyol-type sugar substitutes. Review Summary: Cli...

ELECTRICAL ABNORMALITIES within the heart can often result in the development of arrhythmias that may further progress into sudden cardiac death; often the origins of these developments remain largely unknown. Atrial fibrillation, which is one of the most common type of heart arrhythmia, affects an estimated 3–6 million people within the United States (Center for Disease Control). Arrhythmic ev...

Cereal Chem. 79(2):230–237 Growing conditions, kernel characteristics, and genetics affect wheat kernel color. As a result, red and white wheats sometimes cannot be differentiated by visual examination. Soaking wheat kernels in a sodium hydroxide solution enhances the difference in color; red wheat turns a darker red, and white wheat turns straw-yellow. Previously, when NaOH was used for wheat ...

Purpose: To evaluate the role of initial visual acuity (VA) as a potential prognostic factor for final VA in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Methods: A retrospective data analysis involving 163 patients with macular edema secondary to BRVO treated according to the recommendations of the Branch Vein Occlusion Study Group was performed using univariate and multivariate logisti...

Micrographs of mouse liver gap junctions, isolated with detergents, and negatively stained with uranyl acetate, have been recorded by low-irradiation methods. Our Fourieraveraged micrographs of the hexagonal junct ion lattice show skewed, hexameric connexons with less stain at the threefold axis than at the six indentations between the lobes of the connexon image. These substructural features, ...
