Perceptual learning can develop over extended periods, with slow, at times sleep-dependent, improvement seen several days after training. As a result, performance can become more automatic, that is, less dependent on voluntary attention. This study investigates whether the brain correlates of this enhancement of automaticity are sleep-dependent. Event-related potentials produced in response to ...

◦ Introduction, Perspective – since particle physics beyond the SM is presently in an incoherent state, with lots of static, a long introduction is needed, including some history of the supersymmetry revolutions, physics not described by the SM, indirect evidence for low energy supersymmetry and how flavor physics should be approached. ◦ Derive the supersymmetric Lagrangian – the superpotential...

We present a constructive procedure for extracting polynomial-time realizers from ineffective proofs of Π2theorems in feasible analysis. By ineffective proof we mean a proof which involves the non-computational principle weak König’s lemma WKL, and by feasible analysis we mean Cook and Urquhart’s system CPV plus quantifierfree choice QF-AC. We shall also discuss the relation between the system ...

A finite element model has been created to quantify the thermal fatigue damage of the CPV die attach. Simulations are used to compare to results of empirical thermal fatigue equations originally developed for accelerated chamber cycling. While the empirical equations show promise when extrapolated to the lower temperature cycles characteristic of weather-induced temperature changes in the CPV d...

Fresnel lens solar concentrators continue to fulfill a market requirement as a system component in high volume cost effective Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) electricity generation. Design and optimization may be performed using comprehensive system simulation tools, but before investing in the effort to build a complete virtual model framework, much insight can be gathered beforehand by gener...

In this paper we propose an approach to modelling non-linear conditionally heteroscedastic time series characterised by asymmetries in both the conditional mean and variance. This is achieved by combining a TAR model for the conditional mean with a Changing Parameters Volatility (CPV) model for the conditional variance. Empirical results are given for the daily returns of the S&P 500, NASDAQ co...
