High cognitive effort has been frequently related to better indices of motor learning through the study of many different paradigms. However, automaticity presumably invokes minimal cognitive processing but has often been related to high-level motor performance, which suggests a paradox. The objective of this study was to approach this paradox by examining the viability of the use of different ...

Electron-rich dienes have revolutionized the synthesis of complex compounds since the discovery of the legendary Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction. This highly efficient bond-forming process has served as a fundamental strategy to assemble many structurally formidable molecules. Amino silyloxy butadienes are arguably the most reactive diene species that are isolable and bottleable. Since the p...

This article studies the international integration of the national stock markets of sixteen European countries. The international financial market is represented by two indices: a European index and a World index. The methodology of co-integration, used in this article, is the proper econometrical solution for the treatment of non-stationary series as those used in the present research. Complem...

Recently, the popularity of depth-sensors such as Kinect has made depth videos easily available while its advantages have not been fully exploited. This paper investigates, for gesture recognition, to explore the spatial and temporal information complementarily embedded in RGB and depth sequences. We propose a convolutional twostream consensus voting network (2SCVN) which explicitly models both...

Text information, which plays important role in news video concept detection, has been ignored in state-of-the-art movie analysis technology. It is so because movie subtitles are speech of roles which do not directly describe content of movie and contributes little to movie analysis. In this paper, we import collaborative-editing synopsis from professional movie sites for movie analysis, which ...

At one extreme, functional requirements define the functions that a software component or system should perform and on the other hand, nonfunctional requirements aimed at specifying how a software product is supposed to be are defined in terms of quality attributes such as reliability, maintainability and the one which comprises the scope of this study, namely, usability that is defined as the ...

Neural firing discharges are often temporally patterned, but it is often ambiguous as to whether the temporal features of these patterns constitute a useful code. Here we show in the mouse olfactory bulb that ensembles of projection neurons respond with complex odor- and concentration-specific dynamic activity sequences developing below and above sniffing frequency. Based on this activity, almo...

Different efforts have been developed focusing on the alignment between organizations’ concepts. From these initiatives, two have had outstanding relevance: The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) and IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). However, these two approaches are often used complementarily and simultaneously. Beyond the difficulties associated with governance, parallel projects with ...

To illustrate diversity of methods used to extract relevant (where the concept of relevance can be differently defined for different applications) visual data, the paper discusses three groups of such methods. They have been selected from a range of alternatives to highlight how hardware and software tools can be complementarily used in order to achieve various functionalities in case of differ...

Although microglia have long been considered as brain resident immune cells, increasing evidence suggests that they also have physiological roles in the development of the normal CNS. In this study, we found large numbers of activated microglia in the forebrain subventricular zone (SVZ) of the rat from P1 to P10. Pharmacological suppression of the activation, which produces a decrease in levels...
