Here we discuss the remarkable role of the statistical memory effects in the human brain functioning at photosensitive epilepsy (PSE). We have analyzed three independent statistical memory quantifiers for the magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals. These quantifiers reflect the dynamical characteristics of neuromagnetic brain responses to a flickering stimulus of different color combinations. Re...

This paper presents an overview of the current process systems opportunities in power generation, storage and distribution. It puts in perspective how process systems engineering (PSE) has contributed to the area and explores the current technical problems that PSE can contribute to. Fuel cells, solar cells, wind turbines, flow batteries and rechargeable batteries as well as their interactions ...

Abstract Given recent sociocultural and economic changes that have created significant pressures on South Korean mothers, we were interested in understanding the factors might contribute to their sense of competence taking challenges childrearing. We examined several family conditions theoretically supportive mothers’ parenting self-efficacy (PSE), specifically whether PSE was associated with m...

Irradiation and storage increased lipid oxidation of normal and pale-soft-exudative (PSE) muscles, whereas dark-firm-dry (DFD) muscle was very stable and resistant to oxidative changes. Irradiation increased redness regardless of pork-quality type, and the increases were proportional to irradiation dose. Irradiation increased the production of sulfur-containing volatiles, but not lipid oxidatio...

We use input-output analysis to examine subsonic and supersonic turbulent jet noise. For a supersonic jet, the leading input-output mode closely resembles wavepackets resulting from the parabolized stability equations (PSE). For a subsonic jet, however, input-output analysis produces several sub-optimal modes with nearly the same gain as the leading input-output mode. The sub-optimal modes depe...

By providing feedback to customers on home electricity and natural gas usage with a focus on peer comparisons, utilities can reduce energy consumption at a low cost. We analyze data from two large-scale, random-assignment field experiments conducted by utility companies providing electricity (the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD)) and electricity and natural gas (Puget Sound Energy (...

In this paper, a novel methodology for test preparation of digital ICs, aiming at high defect coverage and affordable computational eeort, is proposed. A method is presented to heuristically generate a list of pseudo realistic (PSE) faults, at gate level, such that test quality is improved when PSE faults are used in test generation , in addition to normal stuck-at testing. Test quality assessm...

Short-term and long-term predictors of therapeutic change due to parent management training were investigated. Therapeutic change was defined as the change in outcome measures [externalizing problem behavior and parenting self-efficacy (PSE)] from before treatment to afterward. Three different types of predictors were analyzed: child variables (gender, age, and initial externalizing and interna...

Introduction: PSE syndrome regards to meat defects. It is generally described as a major defect affecting the colour (paler than normal), the texture (softer than normal) and the water holding capacity (lower than normal) of the meat. All these quality issues are becoming a concern to the industry. PSE syndrome has first been described in pork mainly since the beginning of the 60’s and more rec...

The biological cause of Pork Stress syndrome, which leads to PSE (pale, soft, exudative) meat, is excessive release of Ca(2+) ions, which is promoted by a genetic mutation in the ryanodine receptors (RyR) located in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the skeletal muscle cells. We examined the relationship between the formation of PSE meat under halothane treatment and heat stress exposure in chicken...
