BACKGROUND Recently, the P600 component of event related potentials, a waveform that is conceived to be generated and/or modulated by basal ganglia and cingulate area has been considered an index of the completion of any synchronised operation after target detection, having much in common with working memory operation. Moreover, dysfunction of these brain structures as well as working memory de...

Geometry optimization calculations were carried out on the (approximate)X (1)A(1) state of SCl(2) and the (approximate)X(2)B(1), (approximate)A(2)B(2), (approximate)B(2)A(1), (approximate)C(2)A(1), (approximate)D(2)A(2), and (approximate)E (2)B(2) states of SCl(2) (+) at the restricted-spin coupled-cluster single-double plus perturbative triple excitation [RCCSD(T)] level with basis sets of up ...

Multiple Solutions: A Key to Strengthening the Generalization Skill in Mathematic-Like Thinking   Z. Rahimi* E. Talaa'ee, Ph.D.** E. Reyhaani, Ph.D.*** H. Fardaanesh, Ph.D.****   Emphasizing multiple solutions can help with the strengthening of the generalization skill. To test this hypothesis, a group of high school students in math and experimental sciences was selected in or...

Discourse relations are a bridge between sentence-level semantics and discourselevel semantics. They can be signalled explicitly with discourse connectives or conveyed implicitly, to be inferred by a comprehender. The same discourse units can be related in more than one way, signalled by multiple connectives. But multiple connectives aren’t necessary: Multiple relations can be conveyed even whe...

There is evidence of an association between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and impaired performance on neuropsychological tests. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of research on this topic, particularly among forensic populations where rates of ADHD are notably high. This study aims to investigate the effect of ADHD symptoms on speed and performance on a non-verbal intellectual t...

This investigation examined how age and test condition affect one's ability to comprehend discourse passages, and determined whether age and test condition affect discourse comprehension and closed-set sentence recognition in a similar way. Young and older adults were tested with closed-set sentences from the newly-created build-a-sentence test (BAS) and a series of discourse passages in two au...

It was brought to my attention that there are problems related to the recently published article “Evidence of Coal-Fly-Ash Toxic Chemical Geoengineering in the Troposphere: Consequences for Public Health” [1]. Together with the Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Franck Vazquez, and the Editorial office, we re-evaluated the paper, re-assessed the comments made by the three reviewers and note the foll...
