This fMRI study investigates the differences between a blocked and event-related analysis in a cued target detection task, the so-called Posner paradigm, using a hybrid design. Validly and invalidly cued trials were presented intermingled in different blocks containing 50%, 75%, or 100% valid trials. Four analyses were conducted: (i) an event-related analysis comparing invalid and valid trials,...

recognizing of river flow pattern, deposition and erosion areas in meanders is highly important. despite the limitations of the physical models in laboratory investigation of flow pattern in meanders, mathematical models can be helpful. in this research, rsm and les turbulence models have been compared on sharp river bend of a laboratory flume using fluent software. the laboratory flume is a sh...

Video-based teacher training has become an important component of education. A special form instructional videos is scripted videos, also known as staged videos.

As these scales lack an empirical basis, the scores they generate tend to be unreliable, which results in invalid interpretations. Given the significance of the genre of description and the fact that the relevant literature does not introduce any data-based analytic scales for rating EFL descri...

Motivated by the hinge structure present in protein chains and other molecular conformations, we study the singularities of certain maps associated to body-andhinge and panel-and-hinge chains. These are sequentially articulated systems where two consecutive rigid pieces are connected by a hinge, i.e. a codimension two axis. The singularities correspond to a dimensional drop in the linear span o...
